America? How about helping Spain
keep communis mout of Spain? We
have chance of stopping COM
munism in those places. We have
no chance of keeping it out of
Greece"
Chairman KnutSon of the House
Ways and Means Committee: Il
guess the do-gooders won't feel right
until they have us all broke"
Senator Bridges: "The issue,
stated very simply, is whether
America is to stand idly by while
Communist Russia reaches out to
envelop some three-quarters of the
globe. If we are ever going to try
to stop the spread of communism,
now is the time to do before any
more of the worlds population and
resources are enmeshed in the Com
munist orbit
Reasoning "Unanswerable.
House Democratic Leader Ray
burn: Il think the Presidents rea-
soning is unanswerable. I think we
must do this if we are to maintain
democratic peace in the world"
Senator Capehart, Republican, of
Indiana: "Are we going to fight the
ideology of communism wherever we
find it throughout the world, or are
we going to observe the time-hon-
ored Monroe Doctrine? If I inter-
pret the Presidents message cor
rectly, it is his sincere belief that
we must again take the part of the
rescuer in Europe; this time in order
to prevent Stain from dominating
Europe, Africa. Asia and China"
Representative Michener, Repub-
lican, of Michigan: THE message
poses gigantic question, which will
require a conscientious exploration
by the Congress. The decision must
have in mind our own interests. I
am not sufficiently advised to even
state my own position at this time"
Representative McGregor, Repub-
lican, of Ohio: Il desire further in
formation as to whether we will
have to follow similar procedure
for any other country that cannot
maintain its present government"
McCarran Favors Aid.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada: This is the cross roads
where we decide whether we are to
strengthen Americas position in a
democratic world by refraining from
conflicts abroad or whether we are
to go the other way. Money alone
won't be enough to sustain Greece
and Turkey. We will have to 60
in there with men and materials, if
we go at all"
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine: 81 minterested in having
the administration define tn esubtle
difference between Chinese Com
munists and Greek Communists"
Representative Brown, Republican,
of Ohio termed Congress decision
"the most grave of modern times"
expressed hope those countries can
be helped without embarking on
two imperialistic asprogram."
Il hope we can find way through
the United Nations to aid Greece"
he declared. We want strengthen
ing that organization with a police
force. 1t, rather than one natinL.

Reds Use All Comintern ] octics
In Campaign to Control Italy
By Constantine Brown
Sfor Foreian Affoirs AnoIyst

Mussolini's hoard of gold and of
having appropriated it. At first this
was denied by Communist head
quarters. 1t was later admitted,
however, that even if the report
were true, the Communists were en-
titled to it since they fought a
partisan war against Mussolini and
The Germans more successfully than
any other group"
The other political parties are at
drawn daggers. 1t is true that at
the present time the influence of
the Communists in the government
is very limited. But that Is of little
real consequence for the future. The
present administration was created
merely to supervise the drafting of
the new constitution and the elec-
tons which must follow within 80
days after the constitution Is ap-
proved. Togliatti and his followers
are looking forward to the real test
next fall.
UNRRA Has Worked We'll.
ANVIL dAA1S W 1CoEVOlloiOlC lLdlldIlS,
the country's future depends largely
on the United States and the as
sistance Italy receives from America.
UNRRA has worked better in this
country than behind the iron cur
tain" There have been leaks, such
as sugar going to the black market,
and some kinds of goods sent to Italy
were far from being essential.
There is desperate need for coal
and wheat Italian workmen, re-
gardless of their political affiliations,
are anxious to work. The factories
in Northern Italy suffered only about
10 per cent damage from the war
and are capable of producing at
high rate. The workers are willing
to work overtime if they can get
the coal to keep plants going.
Italian farmers are less prosper
GUS than in France, but they, too,
can produce well. They do not
clamor for tractors and modern
farm implements. The traditional
mule and oxen teams can still do
the work. But they desperately
need seed for their next crops, and
for that they look to America as
the only source Of supply.

For this purpose Togliatti and his

Mr.. Driscoll said the switch in
presidents doesn't alter our deter
mination to carry on our fight for a
decent CIO union"
Mr.. Travis told reporters:
"DriscoH is no longer member
OF this union and it is no concern
of ours as to who is or>is not accept
able to him."
Administrator Plan Denied.
There were reports that Mr.. Muir
ray proposed naming an admins
traitor to oversee affairs of the union
until the controversy is settled. Some
of those who attended yesterdays
conferences denied this.
Mr.. Robinson arranged to carry
his case to the o.>position's strong
hold in Connecticut.
He will make two radio broadcasts
Friday night from Waterbury and
Bridgeport, and another Sunday
