we are COM Lo~eh Mehe'''
PEELED to help the countries of West
ern Europe if we hope to have them
remain members of free society OF
nations, practicing democracy in a
pattern somewhat resembling our
own. 1t seems fairly clear that If
we fail to do all we can do we will
witness their economic collapse and
probably the turning of their people
to communism.
Question of Resources.
What doesn't seem clear is
whether or not the aid we can give
them will accomplish our purpose.
This brings up the question OF how
much of our own resources we can
expend without seriously hurting
ourselves. Economists differ widely
on this point. Politicians differ
even more widely 1t will be the
basis of the real battle when Con-
gress takes up the long-range pro-
gram. Leaving out humanitarlanlsm,
the sheer necessity to prevent star
vation-which nearly all Americans
agree must be done-hoW much Is
enough to get the European coun-
tries safely on the road to normal
life of their own? A few billions
too little may cause the whole
undertaking to fail A few billions
more than we can afford may bring
Our own scheme of things tumbling
down. Senator Taft, for one, fears
this. Stain is said to hope 1t.
In passing it might be remarked
that Stain and his counselors are
unouestionably no less confused
than the rest of us. They've guessed
wrong about this country in the
past. They've guessed wrong about
a lot of things. But that doesn't
mean that they won't take advan-
tage of our confusion if they are
smart enough to do so.
Meantime we have the problem OF
how much we can spend and how
we should spend it. While we
watch our statesmen figure this
out to the best of their ability and
while we sit back and hope they
find q formula that will work, there
is one thing we can be doing. We
can start improving our attitude
toward the distressed people abroad.
We can cease behaving like Lady
Bountiful. That means that with
every nickel we lend or give we can
stop giving a nickels worth OF ad-
vice or moral admonition.
Resent Moralizing.

in our own interest as we'll as theirs,

This Changing World
De Gaulle Reported Prepared to Make
Strong Bid for Power in Few Months

In private conversations regard
ing Germany, the French leader is
said to be not opposed fundamen-
tally to the economic revival of
Frances next-door neighbor and
traditional enemy. He is convinced
that the Russians will not relin-
ouish their hold on the Soviet
occupied zone of Germany, which
they intend to include in the Soviet
orbit. AS an antidote, Gen. de
Gaulle believes, the Western por-
tions of the Reich should be inte-
grated economically with France,
Belgium and Holland, thus creating
an economic and political bloc pos
sessing ample resources, and with
Paris as its political center.
The present situation in Europe
plays into the hands of Soviet Rus
sia. The areas behind the iron
curtain are strongly centralized and
dominated by one power. There is
no reason, Gen. de Gaulle says, why
the Western regions, which would
be unable to resist individually the
Russian drive to the Channel,
should not unite voluntarily in one
powerful group which could stand
against the Red onslaught.
Sees U. S., Britain Endangered.
Gen. de Gaulle considers that
Great Britain and the United States
are endangered at least as much
by Russian totalitarianism as they
were by the Nazi brand. The West
ern European countries are exhaust
ed economically. But he feels
strongly that they could easily be
put back on their feet with Ameri-
can support.
Americas interest in Western Eu-
rope is not merely economic and
charitable. but definitely political
The French generals suggestion OF
an alliance between the western ma
tions on both sides of the Atlantic
would place Americas support o1
Europe on a different basis from
charity and would bring people or
both sides of the Atlantic to realize
that they were cooperating in every
possible way. He is convinced that
economic assistance from the United
States can be effective only if the
Western European countries are po-
litically solvent and no longer stooges
of Moscow's totalitarianiSm.
In his statement yesterday, Gen
De Gaulle mentioned Italy by name
as an essential associate in the form
ing of the western alliance, but he
is known to favor the inclusion OF
all the countries which heretofore
have been able to escape the Soviet
yoke. This is taken to mean also
Spain.
That Gen. De Gaulle will make
headlines in the course of the next
few months is accepted as fore
gone conclusion in responsible quar-
ters in Washington, where even
those who used to consider him q
nuisance are now strongly sympa-
thetic toward his actions and believe
that his coming to power might
solve many difficulties in Europe.

Consigning Washingtons summer weather
to neither region matching its alleged
temperature has attained the proportions of
a national pastime over the past $50 years,
more or less.
Every year along about now those who
bear grudge against washington weather
start raising their blood pressure over the
Capitals climate.
With each passing year the faulthnding
with summer time in the Federal City grows.
One is led to wonder just how much Of it is
really justified.
This is especially so when that rare bird.
q friend OF Washington's summer. claims the
climate is really quite nice.
Such one is Maxine Davis. Writing for
the July issue OF Holiday. she says that sum-
mer visiting in Washington is like going to a
summer resort Except that we rarely have
mosquitoes"
washington is the victim of unfriendly
propaganda put out by Congressman" she
contends, ~ |k
To find out what the facts really are, The
Star asked the United States Weather Bureau
the other day for comparative heat and
humidity figures for Washington and eight
other cities on the Atlantic Standardization,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond,
Norfolk, Raleigh and Wilmington, N. C.
The facts reveal that Washington is not the
coolest, least humid place on the seaboard.
They also reveal it is by no means the hottest
or most humid.
But, before giving the official score of the
nine cities, it is necessary to understand the
relation between heat and humidity-to touch
for moment on the scientific basis for the
old saying, 'It isn't the heat, it's the humidity"
The weather man has found by means OF
careful tests that when the temperature is
80 degrees, for instance, but the water content
of the air is only 80 per cent, person is
merely hot; whereas at the same temperature
with 100 per cent humidity he is on the verge
of heat stroke.
Maximum summer comfort is reached, sci-
ence has found at II degrees when the humid
lty is SO per cent. But it can be comfortable
when the humidity is 100 per cent II the
thermometer falls to 72.
These are admittedly extreme figures, but
they show that when 1t comes to the way you
really feel on hot day, Washington can
have higher temperature than some other
city but really be little cooler.

Department do not view this act as merely
political, but rather as an invasion OF the
rights-moral, God-given rights-of workers
Whether they are right or wrong in their view.
the Hatch Act forbids me to make public con-
lecture; but once the premise is laid down that
this act may be an invasion of labor's rights
then any church or church group is JUSTIFIED
in taking public position Knowing the So
cial Action Department intimately, am con-
fident that they would have condemned this
bill no matter who sponsored 1t. They would
have denounced it had President Truman
proposed it, or the late Franklin D. Roosevelt,
or AL Smith back in the days when he was
campaigning for the presidency. They do not
regard the bill as partisan" at all. They
simply consider it, judging from their state
ment, as grand larceny of the rights OF workers.
Perhaps you would be interested in learning
what changed my first feeling of Indignation
into one of amusement. 1t was this. Mr.. Law
renee apparently is fearful that this partisan"
announcement against the measure will con-
siderably outweigh his own and his co-think-
ers' oft-repeated pleas for the bill. He may be
right. After all, the Social Action Department
of the National Catholic Welfare Conference
is not running for Office or selling papers, or
publishing a business magazine, or working
desperately to get their taxes reduced. All
they seek to do is tell the truth as God gives
them to see it. And, right or wrong, that's
pretty tough kind of voice to shout down.

There's the record. The averages were COM
piled by taking daily official Weather Bureau
Temperatures and humidity readings ranging
from Is years in the case of Boston up to %
years In the case Of New York and Wilmington
The average daily maximum temperature for
all nine cities over the entire four month period
works out to 82.6 degrees. The humidity figure
for all nine is 81 per cent.
Average Washington figures for the entire
four month period are 1876 degrees and 48 per
cent.
Thus Washington is slightly above average
when 1t comes to heat but makes up for 1t by
being less humid.
Beyond question, Wilmington is the villain
of the piece.
If the figures are plotted on graph paper with
temperature running up one side Of the graph
and humidity across the top, Wilmington is
found to occupy >an unchallenged position in
the hot-humid corner of the page in all four
months.
With true scientific caution, the weatherman
refrained from drawing any wild conclusions
about Washington's summer weather. When he
gave The Star the figures, he was content with
saying:
''The meteorological factors entering into
human comfort are complex. Weather records
do not account for all these factors However,
the data are SUFFICIENT to Indicate that WASH
ington enjoys position between the extremes
insofar as they are represented by the cities
named"
