Out on the far southwest sec

over $4,000 workers, who turned

economic establishment of Europe
on q self-supporting basis.
There is no question that Ameri-
cans would have more confidence in
putting up money for American
institutions operating with organ
national know-how, than in lending
to foreign governments in their
present condition.
1t would, as Mr. Danielian realizes,
be called "neo-imperialism." But,
anything we do will be branded with
contempt by those interested in see
ing that nothing we do succeeds
What entities imperialism to oblo-
guy is profiteering of private corpo-
rations abroad, suppressing living
Standards, draining profits from
countries where won, subsidizing
puppet governments, and economic
and political exploitation in general.
There is no trace of these in Mr..
Danielian's proposal. 1t is a pro-
posal that Americans operate to re-
habilitate Europe with the organiza-
tions and skills native to us and of
proved efficiency.
What Europe has needed since
the war was not social workers,
thousands of whom were on UNRRA
payrolls. but people who know how
to produce and move goods, with
the money for that purpose directly
available to them. Such interlock-
ing public corporations could really
work out an economic plan" And

ICES what a tremendous influence
the United States has on these

is almost like going into store at

where the natives live in thatched

are all over the place Can you

a Brazilian going into our stores at

familiar to him?
Flowers Are Gigantic.
If you love flowers, then Lima
would be heaven to you. Almost
every flower on earth grows here
and they grow to about four times
the size of flowers at home. The
roses are as big as pie pans and the

The plane left Constantine Brown.
Tokyo carrying Mr.. Atcheson, Gen.
MacArthur's chief political adviser,
and a number of other high-ranking
officers. These men had been en-
trusted with highly secret docu-
.ments, the nature of which has not
been divulged. They were to report
to the State Department and pre-
oare the agenda for the japanese
peace conference.
The boards report blamed the
disaster on the negligence of the
pilot who, the investigators said,
had his throttles at "an excessively
high power setting" on the run from
Kwa jalein to Honolulu. The plane
disappeared and the investigation
was based on the testimony of three
survivors.
Other Facts Noted.
In addition to the official report
on the tragedy the following facts
must be taken into considerations:
The Bit was Gen. MacArthur's
personal plane. 1t was old but not
obsolete. Before taking off the pilot
and crew were thoroughly briefed
on the Importance of the human
cargo they were flying to the United
States. When the plane reached
Guam 1t was discovered that one of
the engines was faulty and it was
replaced.
The Bit could not carry enough
fuel for the long hop from Kwaja-
lein to Honolulu and supplemental
tank was installed. This tank was

chy. The situation could not be
more critical.
Nevertheless. it is equally impera-
tive to realize that the aid provided
since 1914 has all turned out to be
"stop-gap."
American allotments and loans
abroad in the past two and half
years have totaled more than $23,-
000, 600, 900 and, though we have
become accustomed to think in
astronomical figures, that sum is
equal to the total assets of the 10
largest corporations in the United
States, and more than all that was
publicly expended on war plants
throughout the war.
Yet it has done almost nothing to
set Europe on its feet. 1t has pro-
vided transitory relief" but not
rehabilitation 1t, has been ex-
pended through governments. many
of which have wasted it, diverted
it, or been unable constructively TO
use it because of unwise restrictions
put on it, such as those attending
tI1e bTlIlSn lOdH.
Article Proposes Plan.
The August number of the Atlantic
Monthly was led by an article by
N. r. Danielian, president of the
American International Service
Company . In Washington, who has
behind him years of public service
in the Federal Government. Mr..
Danielian asks: Can we aid Eu-
rope?" and gives an affirmative
answer, as well as trenchant criti-
cism of past policies, which he
analyzes in detail-especially those
attending UNRRA.
But he is not a carper, and he
makes a constructive proposal. This
will be opposed, he warns us. by the
conventional bankers mentality
But it recommends itself, I think, to
the organizing and industrial men
tality.
Mr.. Danielian proposes that the
United States set up an American
International Reconstruction Cor
poration with branches for all coun-
tries we intend 10 aid-from Italy to
Korea-and capitalize these, from
the United States Treasury. to the
tune of $4,000, 100000. Each of
these companies would be entitled
to borrow, in an amount equal to
but not exceeding its subscribed and
paid-in capital, within the countries
where they are operating-to hire
local labor, for instance-and from
the Export Import Bank, the Inter-
national Bank. and private banks
here.
These corporations would be pub
lie bodies, like the Tennessee Valley
Authority, undertakings for the
people of the countries aided. oper-
ated initially at the cost of the
money to the Bnited States g per
cent? but eventually able to provide
social services and other revenues
out of profits.
System Would Aid Confidence.
In short, under business organiz-
ers and technicians-men with dis
interestedness and efficiency instead
of politicians - we would invest
wealth to build capital industries to
produce more wealth for revenue
and to exchange for imports. Mr..
Danielian does not demand that
the boards of directors of those
companies be entirely American, but
he Goes demand American direction
until the object is achieved: The
