Year OF 1948.
BY "we" Is meant those among us
who enjoy a preferred position in
our political, social and economic
system, those who have influence or
authority of one kind or another,
and the mean average Of whose
thinking and behavior determines
our conduct as nation. We haven't
been brave.
1t hasn't been so long since we
proved it is possible for us to be
brave. Less than Is years ago
we met the challenge of great
depression, came close to defeating
| it and started building better
country on the ruins. We had the
courage to experiment for few
years, at least; to try this way and
that way of turning our natural
wealth and our natural abilities to
the uses of all the people in order
to make q stronger and more en-
during structure. But we weakened
then and began slipping back into
our old ways, the ways that had
brought the depression upon us.
War Retrieved Courage.
The war came and retrieved our
courage. Again we demonstrated
what we could do, when we under
stood the need. We could act as
one, in the interest of all. Con-
fdence in our strength and faith in
our purpose pulled us through that
supreme trial. Had we lost our
nerve we might well have lost the
fight.
With the end of the war, however,
the forces of fear again began to
take control, laying their restraint
upon the hands that shape our
affairs. Individuals began to think
of individual security. The lesson OF
the depression and Of the war hadn't
quite been learned. We wanted to be
free to pursue our own ends, regard
less of what might happen to our
neighbors. 1t was fear that moved
us fear of the unknown future.
We were not afraid of armies.
There were no armies left, none we
could not defeat. We were afraid
of ideas, particularly Of new ideas.
And we began to see IDEAS under
every bed.
The idea that the laborer is
worthy Of his hire suddenly became
sinister. The idea that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain in
alienable rights, that smong these
rights are life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness, disturbed our
peace Of mind. We forgot that we
had gone far toward rebuilding the
country during the depression by
the application Of such ideas. We
forgot that they were the essence Of
the democracy that produced IVA,
REA and other machinery CT
national cooperation that made
possible our extraordinary war
effort.
Our fears made us forget.
Threat From Abroad.
There came a great threat from
abroad, the threat of new or, at
least, a different idea. Communism!
Not as good an idea as that on
which our own society was founded
and not as strong. But we turned
the face of fear toward it. not the
face Of confidence. We declared as
a doctrine-it was called the Tru-
man doctrine-that this alien idea
must be stopped by force Of arms,
lest 1t engulf us along with the rest
Of the world. We did not trust the
strength Of our own idea to
defeat it.
But we did this with some mis-
giving and we welcomed better
proposal when it was offered. This
is the Marshall plan. 1t Is a better
plan, because it contains more Of
confidence and less of fear. It pro-

.Mink-CIad Madame X,
Relief Patron, Called
In New York Inquiry
By the Assorio,ed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-'eMadame
x the woman who State investi-
gators charged wore a mink coat
when she applied for and was grant
ed home relief, was summoned for
questioning today by City Welfare
Commissioner Benjamin Fielding as
an inquiry continued into alleged
abuses in New York City's welfare
disbursements.
The inquiry is being made by the
State Department of Social Welfare
whose supervisor of social work.
Bernard Shapiro, testified during two
days of public hearings that thou
sands of dollars had been paid out
in welfare funds to families whose
eligibility was questionable.
The hearings opened Wednesday.
Received $60,000.
Mr.. Shapiro, describing one of the
cases simply as Madame x" the
wearer of the mink coat, said her
application disclosed that she had
received $4,000 from her divorced
husband since 1910. He declared
she was granted $222.75 monthly
in relief.
Meanwhile, city investigators
brought in for inspection two fur
coats owned/b the woman. A fur
expert estimated that one of them,
a short mink, from six to eight years
old, had cost $4,000 new, but was
worth only $500 now. The other, a
dyed fur, was described as valueless.
Restitution Pledged.
"We've seen this glorious mink
coat and the other one, and they
are nothing but couple OF old
rags" Mr.. Fielding said yesterday.
THAT doesn't mean that the ham
ding of this matter by the personnel
meets with my satisfaction he
added.
Previously, Mr.. Fielding, appointed
by Mayor William O'Dwyer Friday,
had announced that the family OF
a s1OO-a-week automobile salesman
had been dropped from relief rolls
and that the man had pledged resti-
tuition of the funds received. State
investigators testified that the sales.
man was using most Of his salary to
pay off $4,000 in bad checks.

He spurned certain questions, de-

Provided Food After
His Intervention
By the Associoted Press

BUCHAREST, Romania, Oct.
31-Dr. Juliu Manu- testified at
his treason trial today that for

The National Peasant Party

dent Truman made food allot-
ments to starving Moldavia last
FEBRUARY.

100000 were reported starving.)
The court trying the aged leader
of the National Peasant Party and
18 others had implied that DIR.
Manu- originally had asked Mr..
Berry to condition the help on GER
ain obligations on the part of the
Moscow-sponsored Groza govern
ment.
Explains Attempted Flight.
4 He said also that the reason sew
4ral members of his party and other
Opposition leaders attempted to fly
from Bucharest in mid-July was to
lodge a protest in Washington with
w. Averell Hartman and Lord In
verchapel, former American and
British Ambassadors to Russia, over
nonimplementation of the Moscow
agreement.
Zone Moscow agreement, which
resulted in American and British
recognition of the Romanian
government in February, 1916,
provided for representation of
the National Peasant Party and
the National Liberal Party in the
government. The recognition
was based on an understanding
that free elections would be held
no later than May of 1916.
(The attempted flight to which
DR.. Manu- referred resulted in the
arrest of eight members of the
National Peasant Party, including
four current defendants: Ion
Mihalache, Nicolae Benescu, Ilie
Lazar and Nicolai Carandino0
Cut Short in Explanations.
DR.. Maniu's testimony largely
was made up Of denials of charges
against him. He looked fit, although
tired. He wore gray suit. stiff
collar and dark tie. His voice

tone become loud and incisive. The
court cut him short every time he
tried to make long, political ex-
plantations.
DR.. MANU- declared he was op-
posed to violent overthrow OF the
Government. He denied forming a
military organization or asking
armed foreign intervention, al
though he acknowledged asking the
Western Powers to intervene and
bring the Groza government to fol-
low lines of the Moscow accord.

2 Romonions Now on Trial
As Traitors Land in u. 5.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 P). - Two
former Romanian Foreign Minis
ters who escaped a year ago from
their homeland and now are on trial
in absentia on charges of high trea-
son and plotting to overthrow the
Romanian government, arrived TO-
day aboard the liner Queen Eliza
beth.
The men, Gregory Buzesti, 80, and
Constantin Visoianu, so, said they
planned to go to Washington to
visit friend, Alexander Cretzianu
of 2501 Calvert street NV. a..
Mr.. Buzesti denied prosecution
charges made at the trial before a
Bucharest military tribunal that
the United States had helped him
and his colleague escape from Ro-
mania, but he refused to disclose
by what means they fled.
Asked If he expected that he
and Mr.. Visoianu would be con-
victed, Mr.. Buzesti replied "of
course" He said his country was
absolutely Communist dominated
and that "the United States must
aid Romania and the other coun-
tries or face a completely Red
dominated Europe"
Mr.. Buzesti said he fled Romania
after he had been denied visa to
visit his wife, who was Ill in Switz-
erland. She died about 10 months
ago.
