Keep Calm

Al hurricanes travel wherever they wish,
there i no way of forecasting the course
they will take at any given time.
When this was written the tropical storm,
which is said to be like a two-hole doughnut,
was moving slowly landward from a point
some two hundred miles northeast OF
Nassau.
AS a precaution the Atlantic coast from
Veri Beach, Florida to Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina, has been alerted. It the storm
should continue it's present course, it would
be due to strike within this area.
But the experts are open minded. They
say it is Just as likely to turn out to sea as to
swing inland. The important thing to keep In
mind is that no man, whatever his skill as
a metorologist, ~artually knows any more
than you what whim will decide the storms
route. And because this is true it behooves
everybody in the area here indicated to
view the "alert'' seriously and be prepared
to seek safety away from the coast if and
when there is need for evacuation.
This does not mean there is need to fly
precipitately from u own beaches. The
need is to see that every reasonable effort IS
made to safeguard property, and to be
ready to accept a ride to safety should the
Red Cross, which is in charge OF all prepa-
rations, decide the time has come to move
OUT.
Just now there is imperative need tor
everybody to avoid spreading wild rumors'
Keep calm. Let there be no Mysteries. And
particularly, if evacuation should be requir-
ed follow the instructions of the disaster

With the deposit in Paris next
Monday of the treaties with
Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and
Rumania, the United States will
take the first step toward
liquidation of it's occupation
forces in former enemy
countries in Europe. Since Italy
was the only one of the four in
which we maintained troops, the
5 1000 American soldiers there
are the only ones who r af-
fected by the treaties. General
Lee, the American commander,
announces that plans are al
ready well advanced to have our
own troops and those of our Bri-
fish allies out of Italy we'll be-
fore the deadline of Dec. IA -
ninety days after deposit of the
treaties.
Soviet Russia was entrusted
with the occupation of Hungary,
Bulgaria and Rumania. The on
ly United States forces in those
three countries we're the small
headquarters groups attached to
our members of the Allied Con-
troll Commissions. Under the
terms of the treaties, the Red
Army forces in Bulgaria also
must be withdr avn within nine
ty days but the Soviet will be al
lowed to keep in Rumania and
Hungary "such armed forces as
it may need for the maintenance
of the lines Of communication"
with Red Army occupation
troops in Austria. The language
OF the treaties entrusts to Mos

Several bitter wage disputes of recent
memory have been marked by sharp statistl-
cal skirmishes. Economists from labor and
management nave taken figures from the
same company's balance sheets and come up
with entirely different conclusions. AND
sometimes, when the shooting was over,
there was a suspicion that the adversarles
had marched in opposite directions and had
never been in range of each other.
The public can only guess whether these
inclusive engagements are the result OF de-
liberate efforts to deceive or honest con-
fusion. For, certainly, most OF us are stump
ed by the complexities Of an average cor
poration's financial statement.
The American Economic Foundation be-
lieves that this general confusion has nad
some alarming consequences, such as making
the word Capitalist" a term of abuse, and
"~private enterprise" and profit" synony-
nous with exploitation and crookedness.
Eight years ago, the men who started the
Foundation discovered, through a public
opinion poll, that more than half the people
ouestioned-rich as well as poor-thought
that big businesses kept more of their in
come as profits than they paid out as wages.
This led these men to the reasonable assump-
+ion that more economic friction is generated
nv ignorance of business operations than by
prejudice.
What was the cause OF this Ignorance? The
Foundation decided that the main trouble
was the lack of simple words to explain
where a corporations money comes from
and what is done with it. The technical
language of accounting was just too mucn
for most of the people all of the time.
After much study the Foundations ana
lvsts and accountants hit upon what they
called Social accounting. Its vehicle is a
short, simple profit-or-loss statement winch
they call a functional operating report II
leads off with the amount of money winch
the company received from its customers
Then follows an explanation of how the re-
ceipts were spent, with their appropriate
amounts: the cost of goods and services
bought from others; the cost OF numal
energy (wages and salaries); the cost OF
tools wearing out depreciation, depletlon)'
cost of payment ordered by government
(taxes); cost of using the tools (proflt). Inc
customer is thought of as the real employer
and profit is what he pays for the use o.
the tools which turn out the products nj
wants.
Several large companies already use Thu
form. But 1t was only a few days ago tina
the Foundation made public an instructor
manual for the new method. With its publ
cation, many stockholders and workers pos
sibly are going to discover for the first time
what their company is doing.
The American system Of privately-ownec
industry is being challenged and questioned
within and without this country. Those VINO
believe in it can scarcely be expected to de
fend it if they dom understand how II
works. A more general adoption OF simple
explanations might well reduc labor-man'
agement misunderstanding, and their re
sultant strife, and help to keep our economy
on a more even keel.

The Two

ably understood thA he strongly
differs with Secretary Marshall
on at least one aspect OF the
action to be taken in the face
of the immediate crisis.
Vandenberg's position is be-
lieved to be as follows. lie does
not rule out emergency action
in a special session. But he feels
very strongly that any action
taken this autumn to tide Europe
over the coming winter should
be strictly separated fror, con-
sideration of the Marshall prof.
ect as a whole. He believes that
emergency congressional meas
ures to prevent actual starva-
ton in Europe this winter would
be in the American tradition,
and would be acceptable to the
Congress and the country.
But he believes that if these
measures were, as Secre-
tary Marshall has indicated,
part and parcel of the whole
Marshall plan, then Con-
gress would have to commit IT.
self to the whole plan after only
a few weeks of consideration.
This, Vandenberg is convinced,
Congress would refuse to do. He
believes that the Marshall plan
as a whole demands months OF
the most careful dissection and
debate before any commitments
are made.
Fortunately, before snnounc-
ing any course of action, Presl'
dent Truman is certain to ask
for Senator Vandenberg's ad-
vice. The President is known to
have established in Brazil a clos
er relationship with Vandenberg
than ever before. Vandenherg's
opinion will carry great weight
with him. It is thus almost GER
tain that on this issue some
agreement will be reached. For
what is basically important is
not what congressional commit
ments may be made when the
emergency aid is advanced, but
that it should be advanced in
time.
But though an agreement on
essentials is possible between
the administratio and Senator
Vandenberg, it remains to be
seen whether such an agreement
can be reached with Senator
Taft. Taft is scheduled to make

Marshall in urging on the Presi-
dent a decisive course of action.
Secretary Marshall clearly indi-
Gated at his press conference
what this course may be. A spe-
cial session will be called, prob
ably as early as November. This
special session must be asked
to appropriate an emergency ad-
vance on the Marshall plan.
And Secretary Marshall re-
peatedly emphasized that this
emergency advance should be
considered an integral part of
the whole long-range program to
put Europe back on its feet.
Thus the plans OF the admins
tration leaders for dealing with
the foreign crisis are already
crystallizing, even before the
Presidents return. But it is toe
easily forgotten that while Presi-
dent Truman and Secretary Mar
shall can propose, it is the Con-
gress which will dispose The
two key figures in the great de
bate which will certainly take
place this autumn will be Sena-
tor Arthur Vandenberg, as the
Senate leader on foreign affairs,
and Senator Robert A. Taft,
who, as a Presidential posi-
bility, must take a position on
the overriding issues of foreign
policy.
Vandenberg is known to ap-
prove the basic conception Of the
Marshall plan-that further aid
to Europe be s~quarely based on
a European effort to achieve
self-sufficiency. But It is reali-

ners of American foreign policy,
confronted with the accelerating
crisis abroad, must sometimes
feel like Alice in Wonderland
with the Red Queen, when the
queen remarked, "you see, ii

Any idea of waiting for the regu-

Of it.
No final decision on what
course the administration should
take has, as yet, been made.
That must await the return of
President Truman on September
10. But it is significant that the
Presidents closest adviser, the
able Clark Clifford, has flown
back to Washington ahead of
Truman. Clifford was originally
supposed to return with Truman
on the battleship Missouri. As
the cables to Brazil from Wash
ington on the crisis abroad be-
came increasingly alarming,
however, the President changed
this plan. Clifford was sent back
to Washington to study the facts
of the situation, so that the
ground should be prepared
against the Presidents return.
Already, Clifford has fully

Beating The Veto
BY T EDISON

WASHINGTON The trouble
some United Nations Security
Council veto - which thus far
has been used 10 times by Rus
STA and twice by France-has
one chance of being revised by
action of the Gneeral Assembly
at its forthcoming, third session.
This will come through an
item put on the agenda in sep
arate proposals from Australia
and the Argentine. In simplest
terms, the idea is to call a gen
eral convention of nations to
consider modification of the vot-
ing rules as set forth in the
United Nations Charter adopted
at San Francisco in 1915.
Importance of this proposal
can hardly be underestimated.
If it goes through, it would
mean another full-dress confer
ence like that at San Francisco.
The decision to call such a con-
ference can be made by two
thirds vote-3S Of 81 members
of the General Assembly. The
Security Council has no power
to veto such action
ANYTHING might come out of
such a world conference now.
1t is likened by u. S. experts
en- the UN to the American Con-
stitutional Convention of 1887.
That gathering WAS called to re-
wise the Articles of Confederation
after the Revolutionary Var.
What came out was not a re-
vision of the bose federation of
colonies, but the brand-new u. S.
Constitution.
There are plenty of people
who believe that a complete re-
vision of the UNI charter is now
necessary to raintain world
peace Many members of Cen
5ress think so. Blu, such a de-
velopment in world affairs may
now be considered to have a
chance only if the present UN
organization chalks up complete
failure on the international poll
teal and security matters soon
to be considered in General AS
sembly.
The report of the 11-nation Sc
curlty Council to the General
Assembly may be one such
stumbling block. It will have
three main items. First is the
report of the International atom
&c energy commission, which is
stalemated.
Second IL the report from the
limitation OF armamentS corn
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-16

mission. Here again, stalemate
Third is the report of the COM
mission on creation of a UN pc
lice force. After refusing to dis
cuss this subject for months,
Russia has finally come through
to suggest a peace force con-
sidered inadequate by other
powers.
Failure of the Security Coun-
Gil to resolve these three major
problems is expected to lead to
some demand that these mat
tiers can be given to the Gener-
al Assembly to handle .
Politically, the three most i'm
portant matters before the Gen
eral Assembly concern Pales-
tine, Greece, and revision Of the
Italian peace treaty. This last
is a proposal from eight Latin
American countries. Their idea
is to give Italy easier terms
than were imposed in the treaty
drafted by the Big Four, but
their prospects are doubtful.
There are three Palestine
items on the agenda. First, the
British propose their old League
of Nations mandate over Pales-
tine be terminated. Second, Sau-
di Arabia and Iraq propose that
Palestine be made an independ-
ent government with, prc;,rra-
bly,, Arao cont:cl. Third is the
report from the General Assem-
t!y's own special commission to
Investigate the Palestine sjtua-
ton, which Recommended parti.
ton into Jewish and Arab
states.
American policy on these
three proposals has not yet been
disclosed. On the matter of
Greece, however, U. S. policy
is definite, and is a follow-up
OF the position which the U. S.
has maintained in the Security
Council, against Soviet bloc on-
position.
