Library
The FORGOTTEN Service

The, Forgoften Service
The majority of the nations public
Libraries are inadequate and fail to
meet community needs, lacking suf-
ficient books, personnel and buildings,
reports the postwar planning COM
mittee of the American Library
Association.
This conclusion is drawn from
two-year nationwide survey by the
committee from which a voluminouS
report, outlining a national plan for
public library service, will be pub
lished later this summer.
Some of the committee findings:
In the U.S., 35,000,000 people have
no public libraries.
Most public library administrative
units are too small and have too little
income.
Many state. library agencies are in
adequate.
Personnel deficiencies are serious.
Library service is seriously below
accepted standards.
The committee suggests an imme-
diate annual outlay of $140,000,000 to
better library service but does not
specify from where it should come.

S: A Time for Europe's Decision

THE Paris meeting of the for
i eign ministers of the Soviet
Union, Britain and France to dis
cuss us. Secretary of State
George c. Marshall's plan for put
ting Europe back on its economic
feet may prove one of the decisive
parleys of the postwar world. This
may be the last chance the world may
have to avoid division and almost in
evitable preparation for another war.
For better or for worse, the Paris
meeting should reveal to a waiting
world Russian policy for the imme-
diate future, at least.
Russian cooperation in rehabilitating
Europe would mean a shift from the
present trend of Communist expan-
sion which has set on edge the nerves
of every small nation in Europe. 1t
would mean an end to a steadily
growing rift between east and west
with smaller nations unhappily hav-
ing to make choice between. one or
the other of opposing ideologies.
If on the other hand, Russia does
not cooperate, it probably will mean
frank. recognition of the need for a
western economic bloc in Europe.
That may mean division of the con-
tinent into opposing camps and an
armamentS race.
British Bid for Leadership
In speech marking Britain'S bid
for leadership in rebuilding conti-
mental prosperity and democracy un-
der the plan, Prime Minister Clement
Attlee charged human rights .are de-
MED and so-called democratic gov
ernment is traveSty in several east
ern European countries. He declared:
Wherever you find the right of op-
position denied, wherever you find
such devices as the single list of can
didates, wherever you find a govern
ment that cannot be removed by the
method of the ballot box, there is no
true democracy, there is no true free
dom.
Our foreign policy is based on
these principles: We hold that every

the secretary.
Marshall, wartime chief of staff of
the us. Army, disclosed that during
World War II this country, was seri-
ously embarrassed by the lack OF
arms Standardization. Military estab-
liShments of a number of South and
Central American countries were out

Marshall estimated the arms stand

Anniversary Day

HIUitVSISOI/ OOy
On Thursday the United Nations
celebrated the second anniversary of
the signing of its charter at San Fran
cisco, 49 days after Germany'S uncon-
ditional surrender and 68 days before
Japan capitulated.
The heads of state of each of the
Big Five, with the exception of Pre-
mier Stain of Russia, broadcast re-
corded Charter Day messages. Andrei
A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy foreign
minister, substituted for Stain. Other
speakers over the worldwide short
wave relays included President Tru-
man, Prime Minister Attlee, Premier
Ramadier, President Chang Kai-
Shek, and Trygve Lie, U.N. secretary
general.
The program carried a rebroadcast
of the original San Francisco cere-
monies, including words of hope from
Gromyko, the Earl of Halifax of
Britain and DR.. V. K. Wellington Koo
If China.
The program was broadcast to 54
countries in 81 different languages.
The audience ran high into the mil
lions, its exact size dependent on how
many countries picked up the short
wave transmission, recorded it and
rebroadcast it on domestic wave
lengths.
More than 1900 Charter Day kits
were sent to us. broadcasting sta
tions. Each kit contained 20 items,
including spot announcements, talks
on the United Nations and suggested
forums.
