This Changing World
New 1S Billion Credit to Europe Sure
To Stir Hot Debate in Coming Weeks

/ ing trips-consider 1t primarily q
political condition.
The heads Of European govern
ments tell us that the strides made
by communism in Europe are due
to impossible economic conditions
which have prevailed since the war
They tell the American Government
that the situation can be remedied
If America comes across with SUBJ
Estantial further help.
Many American observers, includ-
| ing a number of congressional in
vestigators, do not subscribe to this
view. They maintain that inroads
made by Moscow's men in Western
Europe - particularly in Britain,
France and Italy-are so deep that
the governments are hamstrung.
Cite Strike In Italy.
They point out that the labor
unions in all those countries are
more than rs per cent Communist
and have the power to paralyze their
governments any time they wish. A
typical example was the recent
strike of Italian farm workers, who
let Northern Italy's crops rot in the
fields rather than disobey the orders
of Palmiro Togliatti, the leader of
the Italian Communists The same
thing applies to Britain, where the
coal miners went on a strike which
set back many more months Brit
aims already tagging industries.
Throughout Europe, objective OBJ
servers find, there is planned slow
down of work, and it is due less to
hunger or the difficulties of coping
with the cost of living than it is
to the orders of the Communist
controlled unions.
The governments now in power
are composed of honest persons, for
the most part, but they are un-
stable. The rank and file Of people
may back them, but the powerful
labor organizations, which are in
the hands Of the Communists. are
strong enough to pull them down
if they set their minds to it.
Under these conditions Ameri-
can lawmakers want to determine
whether these countries can be
made politically solvent. Their eco
nomic and financial insolvency is
only too obvious. The United States
has already spent on European re-
construction an amount equal to
that now sought for Western Eu-
rope. In spite Of 1t Europe is in
worse shape today than it was two
years ago.
All these matters will be discussed
in detail If President Truman calls
a special session of Congress. The
results might be even more unfor-
tunate than If he let the question
rest until Congress reconvenes in
January.

who didn't have q single pretty

this were catastrophe-because he
knew that to women 1t was. His
proudest furnishing was the great

tried to make New York a more

1t was Mr.. La Guardia's good

because of his instructive political
sense, reinforced by years of prac-

The House was his happy time.

youthful vigor, he licked the prob

colleagues admired and many loved

SANTA FE HEAD
DENIES CHARGE
Says Boxcar Shortage Not
Fault OF The
West
Ma, 2.

WASHINGTON, Ma. "a - U.D -
F. G. Gurley, president of the Santa
Fe railroad, today described as
"plain poppvcock" charges of dis
elimination against the West in
the distribution of boxcars.
He testified before a bipartisan
group of Western Congressman in
vestigating charges that Eastern
r-ilroads manipulated the box
car shortage in the West.
Gurley said there is a national
shortage of freight cars. But he
said the shortage in the West
could not be traced to discrimina-
ton by the Association of Amer
lean railroads or the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
There was feeling on
nv part and there is not today
that any portion of this difference
of opinion Gin the distribution of
bcxcars) Vas due to the AAR or
the ICC wanting to do damage to
n section of the country for the
advantage of another section of the
country" he said. That is plain
poppycock.'
Gurley said he did not agree with
the methods of distributing box
cars, but he said this criticism APP
piled equally TO distribution within
the western area as well as to dis
tribution between the East and the
West.
Gurley said the boxcar shortage
could be traced to two factors.
Firstly, he said, few boxcars were
built during the depression in the
early 1905.
Secondly, he said, essential mate
rials were diverted to military
needs when war broke out in Eu-
rope.
4 think ali of us are glad" he
said, that the emphasis was SO
even though we do have
a domestic headache now, for it
is better to have a domestic head
ache than to have had the situation
that might have resulted from in
sufficient steel for bayonets."
Gurley said the program to build
10, 900 boxcars a month beginning
in July represents the maximum
production for the immediate flu
ture.
He said Sante Fe has been able
TO take care of requests for box
cars on a current basis for the
past six weeks. He said his rail
road has stored approximately g.
500 boxcars in anticipation of a
bumper grain crop. He predicted
that the railroads will be able to
handle the movement of the crop.
Il think l would be unfair if l
didn't tell you that l anticipate
the necessity for grain being stored
on the ground in the wheat belt
this crop year." he said. But he
said storing wheat on the ground
is not a serious problem as long
as it does not stay there too long.
