Great Books discussion groups
which will be resumed for the
second season in October. The
first years program, now draw
ing to close, has demonstrated
that the community whole

writings of Plato, Shakespeare,
Socrates and other well-known
longtime favorites.
Many of the leaders who
handled the Great Books dis

as leaders for the next season.
However, a few more are still
needed and the Library is de-

Send Europe Plows. Not Guns
This is the time for an about
worldwide reconstruction pro-
gram for peace. This is Ameri-
cas- opportunity. 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 should start with an eco
nomic plan for the Near East
financed by the international
Bank and backed by the United
Nations. The dollars that are
spent will be spent for the pro.
duction of goods and will come
back to us in thousand diff
ferent ways. Our program will
be based on service instead of
the outworn ideas of imperial
ism and power politics. It is a
fundamental law of life that a
strong idea is merely strength
ened by persecution. The way
to handle communism is by
what William James called "the
replacing power of the higher
affection" In other words, we
must give the common man all
over the world something bet
ter than communism. I believe
we have something better than
communism here in America.
But President Truman has not
spoken for the American ideal.
It is now the turn of the Ameri-
can people to speak.
Common sense is required Of
all of us in realizing that help
ing militarism never brings
peace. Courage is required of
all of us in carrying out a pro-
gram that can bring peace.
Courage and common sense are
the qualities that made Ameri-
ca great. Let's keep those
qualities now.

Disaster Ahead

Most Americans hear that the
actions proposed by President
Truman will lead to disaster.
That is why congressional
leaders were prepared in ad-
vance 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 a whole. No hypo-
critical appeal to the generosity
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 reconstruc-
ton. AS one American citizen
l say: No loan to undemocratic
and well-fed Turkey: No loan
to Greece until a representa-
tive Greek government is form
ed and can assure America that
our funds will be used for the
welfare of the Greek people.
To authorize the loans pro-
posed by President Truman will
bring the world nearer to war.
To defeat these loans will not
bring peace. I recognize that
there is grave danger of event
ual war in our present policy
of drift. All nations are respon-
sible for this drift to war; all
nations must work together
for peace.
No one wants war. If war
comes one day, it will be be-
cause 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
Enakopravnost. [volume] (Cleveland, O.[Ohio]) 1918-1957, 1947-04-04

salesman communism ever had.
In proposing this reckless ad-
venture Truman is betraying
the great tradition of America
and the leadership of the great
American who preceded him.
Why Bypass the UN?
Coming two days after the
opening of the Moscow Con-
ference, President Truman's
speech has undermined General
Marshall's 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 cooperation
of these nations and will be
gravely weakened if America
follows the course that Truman
recommends. The United Ma
tions Commission is now in
Greece investigating the threat
to Greek security. If Greece
is in danger let the United Ma
tions tell us the facts and re-
commend action. America will
do what the United Nations rec
ommends. Why should Presi-
dent Truman undercut it's
action? How can we wage a
war of nerves against Russia
and expect her to take in good
faith our proposals to the
United Nations on atomic
energy.
Preparation for Eventual War
When President Truman pro-
claims the worldwide conflict
between East and West, he is
telling the Soviet leaders that
we are preparing for eventual
war. They will reply by meas
ures to strengthen their posi-
ton in the event of war. Then
the task of keeping the world
at peace will pass beyond the
power of the common people
everywhere who want peace.
Certainly it will not be freedom
that will be victorious in this
struggle. Psychological and
spiritual preparation for war
will follow financial prepara-
ton; civil liberties will be re-
stricted; standards Of living
will be forced downward; FAM
lilies will be divided against
each other; none of the values
that we hold worth fighting
for will be secure.

18th spoke on the radio in re-
gard to President Truman's
proposals in regard to Greece
and Turkey. We reprint his
message for those who did not
hear him speak on the radio.
March IL, 1947, marked a
turning point in American
history. 1t is not a Greek crisis
that we face, it is an American
crisis It is crisis in the Ameri-
can spirit. That which l feared
when / wrote President Tru-
man last July has come upon
us. Only the American people
fully aroused and promptly
acting can prevent disaster.
President Truman, in the
name of democracy and hui
manitarianism, proposed a mill
tary lend-lease program. He
proposed a loan of $40O million
to Greece and Turkey as a
down payment on an unlimited
expenditure aimed at opposing
communist expansion. He pro-
posed, in effect, that America
police Russia's every border.
There is no regime too reac-
tionary for us provided it
stands in Russia's expansionist
path. There is no country too
remote to serve as the scene
of a contest which may widen
until it becomes world war.
President Truman calls for
action to combat a crisis. What
is this crisis that necessitates
Truman going to Capitol Hill
as though Pearl Harbor had
suddenly hit us? How many
more of these Pearl Harbors
will there be? How can thew
be foreseen? What will they
cost?
President Truman says that
the people of Greece are home
less, hungry and ravaged by
the losses of war. We all know
this. 1t is not only the Greek
people who are suffering from
the war. 1t is the peoples of all
Europe, of Russia, of China and
OF many lands.
Why Was UNRRA Abandoned?
Americans agree with Presi-
dent Truman that we must aid
the people beside whom we
fought. Americans ask: If aid
to the people of the world is
our objective, why did the
President and the Congress al
low the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton to die? Why are we doing
so little to help the million dis
placed persons without homes
in Europe? Why are we speak
ing of only $400 million when
the need is far greater? Why
is $3.50 million of those $4OO
million to be given to Turkey
which was no ally of ours and
which is in no urgent need of
food and supplies?
All Americans agree with
President Truman that freedom
is the most cherished of human
goals, and should be helped to
grow in all countries. These
same Americans ask: How does
support given to the undemo-
cratic governments of Greece
and Turkey aid the cause of
freedom?
Turkey Heightened the War
Turkey is a nation which
fought against us in the first
World War and which in this
war refused to help the United
Nations. Turkey fattened her
self off the Germans and the
Allies by offering her vital sup
plies of chrome to the highest
bidder. Out of these sales she
built up a gold reserve of
Enakopravnost. [volume] (Cleveland, O.[Ohio]) 1918-1957, 1947-04-04
Henry Wallace's Speech

terms of the United States. In
what sense is this an army of
freedom? Many allied divisions
were immobilized throughout
the war because we never knew
on whose side this same Turk
ish army was preparing to
fight.
Greece No Democracy
Everyone admires the Greek
people who fought on our side
They urgently need economic
aid. would be strongly. for
economic aid to Greece. AS
Secretary of Commerce I was
for a Greek loan for such pur-
poses when most of the admin
istration was against it. But
President Truman has made it
clear that very little of the $3.50
million loan to Greece is for
economic reconstruction. It is
a military subsidy to the Greek
government to continue it's ef-
forts to stamp out all opposi-
ton. 1t is utter nonsense to
suggest that the present Greek
government is democratic
one. Three weeks ago our Secre-
tary of State General Marshall
condemned many aspects of
that government. He called for
a political amnesty, substantial
unity and many reforms in the
government as the conditions
of American aid to Greece. Why
did President Truman abandon
the conditions set by his own
Secretary of State? The Presi-
dent asks only that American
civilian and military personnel
supervise the use made of
American supplies. What do the
activities of American Army
officers in Greece have to do
with peaceful reconstruction.
One year ago at Fulton, Mis-
souri,, Winston Churchill called
for a diplomatic offensive
against Soviet Russia. By sane
tioning that speech Truman
committed us to policy of
combating 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 ask
ed to support the governments
of Greece and Turkey. Tomor-
row we shall be asked to sup
port the governments of China
and Argentina.
Change Cannot Be Prevented
l say that this policy is utter
ly futile. No people can be
bought. America cannot afford
to spend billions and billions of
dollars for unproductive pur-
poses. The world is hungry and
insecure, and the peoples of all
lands demand change. Ameri-
can loans for military purposes
won't stop them. President Tru-
man cannot prevent change in
the world any more than he
can prevent the tide from COM
ing in or the sun from setting.
But once America stands for
opposition to change we are
lost. America will become the
most hated nation in the world.
Russia may be poor and un-
prepared for war but she knows
very we'll how to reply to Tru-
mans declaration of economic
and financial pressure. All
over the world Russia and her
ally poverty will increase the
pressure against us. Who among
us is ready to predict that in
this struggle American dollars
will outlast the grievances that
lead to communism? I certainly
