Confidence In Piedmont

Selection of Piedmont Aviation by h e
civil Aeronautics board for franchises CIV
ing Wilmington acutely needed air services
into the interior is substantiated by the
Winston-Salem company's determination to
activate these routes as early as possible.
Its original plans were seriously inter-
upted when the first certification was
challenged Now that CAB has again ap-
proved Piedmont, the officials of the line
are doing their utmost to begin scheduled
flights. Because of the sincerely of their
efforts and the need of the services, the
Traffic commission of the CAB is suspend
ing the usual 30-day period for traffic ap-
proval, thereby removing a possible
lindrance to early activation
Thus, it is quite apparent that Piedmont

eral agency. This, we believe would not

the utmost confidence in the lines ability

AS it goes about the tremendous task OF

undoubtedly have the opportunity to offer
heir cooperation. Although another airline
concern was favored over Piedmont in
some quarters here, apparently the past

Matter OF Fact
By JOSEPH ALSOP

United States, have now united
under American leadership and
what makes the plan possible at
all is the promise of American
resources to finance and support
it.
More specifically, the war has
left a condition in western
Europe which constitutes a
standing temptation to the
Soviets-a vacuum which the
Soviet's wish to fill. Economic
dislocation has led to political
and social deterior alton in every
western European nation, and
especially in the three most i'm
portant, France, Italy and Ger
many.
Optimism Not Justified
1t is intensely misleading to
become optimistic because the
Germans are now anti-Commu-
mist, or because the French and
Italians have Just repelled the
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-29

first Communist assaults upon
the integrity Of their states.
Even in the present case, the
French and Italian governments
would hardly have had the self
confidence to meet the Commu-
mist challenge if the European
interim aid bill had not assured
them of bread and fuel for their
people.
At the same time, the recent
crises have actually worsened
the underlying economic situa-
ton in France and Italy. If
strong measuresare not taken
to reverse the trend, economic
misery must eventually drive
the French and Italian peoples
to the desperate remedies of
desperate men-to acceptance
of the totalitarianism of the
Right or of the Left. If either
France or Italy goes, the whole
European structure will col
lapse. But strong measures to
rehabilitate France, Italy, Ger
many and the rest of Western
Europe are now proposed, in the
form of the European Recovery
Program or Marshall plan. This
is the key to the future.
By rehabilitating western Eu-
rope, we shall hold our own line,
and greatly lesson the temp
tation to the Soviets to strike
across it. BY the same token as
the situation stands, we shall al
SC launch a flank attack on the
Soviet position.
The Kremlin has now under
taken total incorporation into
the Soviet sphere of all of east
ern Europe. Some of the peoples
in this area. like the unhappy
Czechs, have known full free
dom. All except the Germans
under Hitler, have known more
freedom than prevails in Russia.
What is more important still, all
in varying degrees have been
accustomed to far higher level
of life than the Russians.
Purges Already Started
The effect of total incorpor-
alton into the Soviet sphere will
be, however, to reduce eastern
Europe almost to the Russian
level, both politically and eco
nomically. The Kremlin may no
wish this to occur. But it will
hardly be able to help itself. The
signs are clear, even now. After
all last years "Pravda" ano
"Izvestia' editorials about the
virtues of the new progressive
tendencies" the purges to de-
stroy all shadow of eastern Eu
ropean opposition are already
starting. On the economic side
there is the advantage for the
Soviets that eastern Europe il

Secretary Marshall has told
us that there is only one way
out of the zone of war, into
which Soviet policy has brought
the whole world. There must
first be a genuine settlement, ="
which will then be REFLECTED"
in a paper agreement" And
the essential requirement for
this "genuine settlement" is to
fill the political and economic
vacuum that is western
Europe. In previous reports, the
|objectives and methods of Soviet
policy have been examined.
What are the requirements OF
the answering Western policy
thus announced by Secretary
Marshall?
In tactical terms, the policy is
first to hold our own line, and
then to launch a flank attack. On
this plan, the major Western
powers, Britain, France and the

We are told that there are $780,
600 displaced persons in Europe,
men, women, and children, who
are seeking entrance as perma-
nent residents in the United
States, and bill has been intro
duced to admit 100000. The law
permits the coming of l53, ,927
immigrants yearly. Only 10000
came in a year Of 1947. The law
grants a certain number to each
country, some of which have not
sent their quota, and it is pro-
posed to permit displaced per-
sons from other countries to be
admitted to let the number
reach 153,927 for the year. That
proposal has much support, and
others wish to admit tho $4,000
displaced persons to come in on
the theory of STRENGTHENING out
the injustices."
