bother us very much.
With the end OF the war, however
there was a change. After the long
strain our nerves were shot. We
had to be mad at somebody and we
turned on one another. Peace
proved to be as disturbing as war
To make matters wholly bad, oul
late Russian Communist Allies
started justifying all our earlier
suspicious.
Ripe Situation.
The situation was ripe for politics
and the old devil moved In. The
Republicans made communism their
campaign cry. There were real is
sues in the 1916 congressional cleo
tion, but more than one member OF
the new Republican majority came
to Washington convinced that he
had been elected on that issue
Not only that, but more than one
came convinced that the Govern
ment really was saturated with the
communism he had been telling the
voters about.
60 So great project for Kidding the
Government Of "disloyal" workers
was born. Congress would pass a
law, a law with teeth in it," The
administration became frightened
for two reasons. One was purely
political. II the Republicans kept
the Communist scare as their exclu-
sive property, 1t was feared, they
would win again in 1948. The other
was honest concern over the disrup-
ton of all Government work threat
ened by the proposed legislation.
The President moved quickly to
take the issue away from the Re-
publicans, on the one hand, and
protect the daily processes Of Gov
ernment, on the other. He issued
his now famous-some day, perhaps,
ENTHUSIASTICALLY order. He took
the witch hunt into, his own hands,
undertaking the impossible job of
assaying the purity of heart of
100000 men and women.
Already great harm has been
done. With suspicion seeping like
poison gas through all the chan
nels of Government, regulations
are being ruined beyond repair.

The implication was that 1t woulo

Eastern Europe already has, and
that in a short time the Soviet Un-
ions domination would extend tc

how strong anti-Communist feel

In the last two weeks the feeling
has grown among members of Con-
gress that help should be extended
to Western Europe. But past exper-
fences, such as UNRRA and direct
loans or gifts of billions of dollars to
Europe, do not contribute to that
feeling.
Call for Collaboration.
Senators and Representatives who
visited Europe this year have re-
turned with the conviction that
while economic support is essential,
the wholehearted political collabo-
ration of the recipient nations is OF
paramount Importance If our as
sistance is to be effective.
There will be little. II any, oppo-
sition to an immediate grant OF
about 81 900, 900, 900 for European re-
lief, according to spokesmen in both
Houses. Food and fuel must be
rushed across the Atlantic, they be-
lieve, in order to prevent major
hardships which, the Communists
hope, will create even greater con-
fusion than exists today in Western
Europe. But a good deal of resist
ance is expected to develop when
Congress meets November II to act

penditure of between Is and % bill

Coolest House in England.
Yesterday I was at fox hunt
at Lord Helpus' house. Formerly
one Of the biggest castles in all OF
England - Linda Darnell stayed
there as Forever Amber"-it was
said to be very cold. Only a moat
and drawbridge to warm it. They
were right-it is the coolest house
in England. We had Admiral Byrd

came for high tea:

American assistance through strikes
or a diversion Of American supplies
into channels which will not answer
American purposes. That is what
happened in the case Of UNRRA.
The safeguards-such as strict
American control-which a num-
ber of Congress members want to
apply to the aid program may not
be acceptable to the recipient coun-
tries. These would be exploited by
powerful Communist propaganda on
the European mainland as con-
firmation of Moscow's charges that
America is trying to dominate po-
litically the countries 1t is assisting.
The presence of American observ-
ers and controllers would merely
strengthen this propaganda.
Fears Not Unfounded.
While the fears of the French and
italian governments are not un-
founded, American legislators feel
that the present administrations In
Paris and Rome are hanging by a
thin thread. Nobody can say what
will happen in the next few months.
They may be overthrown by Com
munist coups supported by Russia's
powerful armies behind the iron
curtain.

is hopelessly weak. Moreover there
is not a single strong man on the
political horizon In italy, except
the Communist leader Palmiro Tog-
liatti.
In France Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's electoral success strength
ened the belief that the chief of
French resistance to the Na1s DUR
ing the war stands in the way OF a
possible Communist bid for power.
There are strong indications from
France that Gen. de Gaul1e and

bers of his resistance forces would
meet Communist force with force
of their own.

Western Europe Is clarified. men,
bers of Congress will be wary Of
committing this country to an ex-
of billions of dollars for
food and raw and manufactured
materials which we can i'll afford
and which inevitably will increase
the cost of living to the American
people themselves.
Expenditure of about q billion
dollars can do no harm to this
country and would help Western
Europe considerably during the next
three or four months. During the
winter Russia unquestionably will
show her hand further. Russia can
not permit Western Europe to i'm
prove its economy. lest it lose its
main weapons of subjugation.
A billion dollars applied to Euro

will keep Western Europe going,

show whether 1t has decided to play

ouently used atomic energy to divert
attention from their maneuvers on

anti Communist Peasant Party

Warsaw.

Propaganda Technique.
Thus 1t was good and probably
necessary propaganda technique for
the Soviets to refer to the bomb as
If they had it. It was diversionary,
1t was reassuring to her own people,
and it struck a warning note not
only to her satellites but to the rest
Of the world as well.
1t is not surprising that the Rus
slams have confused much of the
worlds opinion on atomic control.
They have been busy in every coun-
try piously proclaiming their desire
to outlaw atomic bombs" This
naturally appeals to the average
European, as he knows next to moth
ing about the nature of the prob
lem except that the bomb Is horribly
destructive.
The United States has a fine rec
ord in atomic diplomacy but hasn't
sold it to the world. The Voice of
America for example, has spent
hardly any time educating the peo-
pies of other nations on our prac-
tical yet idealistic program to make
atomic energy available to the world
not as bombs but in the form Of
power plants. This superb propa-
ganda for our side is scarcely heard
abroad.

Under the Mcmahon Act, the

exercised this power which may, In

1t would not be surprising if the
public gets confused. Gen. Leslie

project, opined in November, 1945,
that 1t would take Russia Is years
to make the bomb. Commenting

Russia wouldn't have the bomb for
