The W ashingt ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON
Bv ROBERT s. ALLEN

By ROBERT s. ALLEN : WASHINGTON Insiders are wagering the British Labor Gov ernment will ease its tax crack down on U. s. movies.
 Reason for this optimism is a trump card US. film makers have been waving threateningly behind the scenes at the Attlee regime.
 This counterblow is ban on the importation of British films into the U. s.
 A. move of this kind would hit the British very hard. Last year, they derived $22.o0o,0Oo from US. moviegoers; this years estimate IS around $30,0O0,o00.
 The threatened ban is not an idle gesture. The eight largest studios in Hollywood have urged such action on Eric Johnson, film czar, if the British government does not come to terms. The producers already have outlawed the export of pictures to England.

eral Marshall condemned many as
poets of that government He called
for political amnesty, substantial
unity and many reforms in the govern
ment as the conditions of American
aid to Greece. Why did President
Truman abandon the conditions set
by his own secretary of state? The
President asks only that American
civilian and military personnel super
wise the use made of American sup
plies. What do the activities of Amer
lean army officers in Greece have to
do with peaceful reconstruction?
Greece and Turkey Today
Argentina Tomorrow?
One year ago at Fulton, Missouri,
Winston Churchill called for a diplo-
matte offensive against Soviet Russia.
By sanctioning that speech Truman
committed us to a policy of combat
ing Russia with British resources.
That policy proved to be so bankrupt
that Britain can no longer maintain
it. Now President Truman proposes
we take over Britain's hopeless task
Today Americans are asked to sup
port the governments of Greece and
Turkey. Tomorrow we shall be asked
to support the governments of China
and argentina
[ say that this policy is utterly flu
tile. No people can be bought Amer
lea cannot afford to spend billions
and billions of dollars for unproduc-
tive purposes. The world is hungry
and insecure, and the peoples of all
lands demand change American
loans for military purposes won't stop
them. President Truman cannot pre-
vent change in the world any more
than he can prevent the tide from
in or the sun from setting
But once America stands for opposi-
ton to change we are lost America
will become the most hated nation in
the world.

should start with an economic plan
for the Near East financed by the In
ternational bank and backed by the
United Nations. The dollars that are
spent will be spent for the production
of goods and will come back to us in
a thousand different ways. Our prog
ram will be based on service instead
of the outworn ideas of Imperialism
and power politics. 1t is a funda-
mental law of life that a strong idea
is merely strengthened by persecu-
ton. The way to handle communism
is. by what William James sailed "the
replacing power of the higher affec-
ton" In other words, we must give
the common man all over the world
something better than communism l
believe we have something better than
communism here in America. But
President Truman has not spoken for
the American ideal. 1t is now the turn
of the American people to speak
Common sense is required of all of
us in realizing that helping militarism
never brings peace. Courage is re-
quired of all of us in carrying out a
program that can bring peace. Cour-
age and common sense are the quail
ties that made America great. Let's

follow financial preparation; civil lib
critics will be restricted; standards of
living will be forced downward; fam
lilies will be divided against each 9TH
er; none of the values that we hold
worth fighting for will be secure.
Truman Appeal Hinged
In Hypocrisy
Most Americans fear that the ac-
lions proposed by President Truman
will lead to disaster. That is why
congressional leaders were prepared
in advance for the Presidents mes
sage. That is why the program was
presented piece by piece, and not as
an overall program that Americans
could look at and judge as whole.
No hypocritical appeal to the gener-
osity and decency of the American
people should be permitted to draw
us into a commitment for which there
is no end in sight. Americans are for
democracy and for economic recon
struction. AS one American citizen
say: No loan to undemocratic and
weIl-fed Turkey: No loan to Greece
until a representative Greek govern
ment is formed and can assure Amer
lea that our funds will be used for the
welfare of the Greek people.
To authorize the loans proposed by
President Truman will bring the world
nearer to war. To defeat these loans
will not bring peace. l recognize that
there is grave danger of eventual war
in our present policy of drift. All ma
tons are responsible for this drift to
war; all nations must work together
for peace.
No one wants war If war comes
one day, it will be because we have
failed to think on the scale required
for peace. Roosevelt thought on that
scale. He foresaw generations of
peace and plenty. Two years later
President Truman asks us to look
forward to generations of want and
war. President Truman has summon
ed in a Century of Fear. [ say this
can be the century of the fulfillment
of the American dream.
Must Give Something Better
Than Communism
This is the time for an about world
wide reconstruction program for
peace. This is Americas opportun-
ity. The peoples of all lands say to
America: Send us plows for our fields
instead of tanks and guns to be used
against us. The United Nations is
waiting, ready to do the job. We

we would go to their aid, but as de-
the United States is setting out upon
a career of unilateral, imperialistic
action that will doom the United Ma
tions more surely than the senate ir-
reconcilables of the 1920s doomed the
League of Nations dream of Woodrow
Wilson. We believe that such action
as is taken should follow these prin-
ciples:
"fG) Action should be through the
existing agencies of the UN, through
the International Bank for perma-
nent reconstruction loans and through
UNRRA or a special commission for
relief purposes;
500 All of the money should go
for peaceful purposes, primarily for
enabling the country aided to stand
on it's own feet as soon as possible;
"t(3) In the case of Greece, the
proposals of the Food and Agriculture
Organization special mission should
be followed, and in the case of Turkey
FAC should be asked to do similar
job prior to the making of loan;
"'(4 All expenditures should be
under supervision of UN experts who
would make it clear to the Greek peo-
pie that they were being aided and
not the monarchy they have never in
Dictated they wanted

Communism's Best "SaIesmanv

Russia may be poor and unprepar-
ed for war but she knows very well
how to reply to Truman's declaration
of economic and financial pressure.
All over the world Russia and her
ally, poverty, will increase the pres
sure against us. Who among us is
ready to predict that in this struggle
American dollars will outlast the
grievances that lead to communism
certainly don't want to see commun-
ism spread l predict that Truman's
policy will spread communism to Eu-
rope and Asia. You can't fight some
thing with nothing. When Truman
offers unconditional aid to King
George (now King Paul. of Greece, he
is acting as the best salesman COM
munism ever had. In proposing this
reckless adventure Truman is betray-
ing the great tradition of America and
the leadership of the great American
who preceded him.
Armeqeddon?
Coming two days after the opening
of the Moscow conference, President
Truman's speech has undermined
General MarshalPs assignment of CO.
operating with Great Britain, France
and Russia in writing the peace. The
United Nations, our great hope for
peace, rests on the continued cooper
alton of these nations and will be
gravely weakened if America follows
the course that Truman recommends.
The United Nations commission is
now in Greece Investigating the threat
Of Greek security. If Greece is in
danger let the United Nations tell us
the facts and recommend action
America will do what the United Ma
tons recommends. Why should
President Truman undercut its action?
How can we wage a war of nerves
against Russia and expect her to take
in good faith our proposals to the Uni
ted Nations on atomic energy? When
President Truman proclaims the
conflict between east and
west, he is telling the Soviet leaders
that we are preparing for eventual
war. They will reply by measures to
strengthen their position in the event
Of war. Then the task of keeping the
world at peace will pass beyond the
power of the common people every

will not be freedom that will be vic

and spiritual preparation for war will

rather than simply to permit the Brit
ish government to transfer to us the
burden of continuing a saber-rattling,
oppressive Imperialism. The Amer
lean people still recall that their faith

to rid themselves of kings, and they
do not want the rest of the world to
regard them as unwelcome intruders

The Peoples Voice
President Humans recent speech
urging us to help Greece and Turkey,
prompts me to give my view on such
a deal.
First I will say, the fellow who
sticks his nose in other peoples do
in hot water. Secondly, why waste
money on regimes such as there are
in Turkey and Greece, which are out
right profascist and as undemocratic
as Hitler or Mussolini ever were. If
Greece was a democratic country, the
ruling class would not round up their
opposition and send them to concen-
tration camps. Our daily news re-
ports them as being islands, making it
appear as if they were going to some
summer or winter resort
While on the subject of concentra-
ton camps in Europe, I only wished
you could all have been with me in
that notorious German prison camp
and saw what went on in
there. | have very good impression
of what concentration camp is.
Further more, our gift or loan will

that why we are asked to buy and

The text of the Patton statement
was as follows:
Before it is too late, the United
States should draw back from a

There is not enough money even in

lead the world toward peace and
abundance is by working vigorously
through the United Nations agencies
toward peaceful reconstruction, by re-
building shattered economies so that
aid will not be necessary, and by sup
porting the forces of democracy every
where. Above all, we cannot afford
to underwrite the armies and navies
of monarchies and relationships.

day to President Truman the follow

TOllesOn Edges MOnarchs In
Dual Track Meet
BY WILLIAM MAXWELL

Coach w. P. Bacon's Tolleson
Wolverines edged Carver track
sters 52-43 in a dual meet at Toll
Lesson last Friday afternoon. The
winner wasn't decided until the
final event of the meet, the 880-yd.
relay, for up until that time, Toll
leson was leading 47-43. A Carver
victory in this event would have
meant a Monarch triumph by one
point, but the determined Wolver-
inc quartet of Henderson, Thrash
er, Gray and James had ideas to
the contrary. AS evening dust
overflowed the Tolleson track, Nc
Cuin, Carver's lead-off man, gave
his mates a ten-yard lead which
was Immediately erased by Tolle-
sons second runner, Thrasher.
Gray of Toleson and Gray of Car
yer, third runners for their teams
ran nip-and-tuck their legs of the
relay. McNear moved out in front
momentarily on the. last curve but
was overtaken by James, Tolesons
anchor man, in the home stretcn.
James won by foot giving MS
team the event, five points and the
meet in the fast time of min.,
41.2 secs.
Outstanding performances for
early season competition were
turned in by Tolleson's miller, Or
donez, who captured his speciality
in 5 min., 11.2 Secs, Writ Jones,
Carver's discus thrower, who cop
ped his event setting a new Tolle-
son track record of 119 it., 9 in,
and Tplleson's half miller, Coppen-
ger who ran his $50 yd. run in
2:11.3.
Curtis McNear, Carver's Zone
man gang, entered seven of the
meets eleven events. He captured
firsts in the 100 yd. dash and 44O
yd. run, and tied for first place in
the pole vault, for high scoring
honors of the meet with fourteen
points. Coppenger led Tolleson's
efforts with nine points.
McNear, Relf and Gray, all OF
Carver swept the 100 yd. dash. Nc
A Cuin of Carver set a new Tolleson
track record for the 220 yd. dash.
Relf finished second, close behind
McCuin in this event. McNear was
the only Carverite to place in the
44O. Giles third place in the $50,
and Callahan's third in the mile
kept Tolleson from making clean
sweeps in these events. Van Chris
topher's heave of 81 it., 9 in, in
the shot put broke Tolleson's field
mark set by Mitchell of Carver
last year. Christopher also cop
ped second in the broad jump and
tied with Buck Bonner of Carver
for third place in the pole vault.
T oil e on S all-around team
strength, their superior distance
runners, and their unexpected
sweep in the high jump were de-
Gliding factors of the meet.
