ANTI-RED PACT:
Alliances

SAVOUCtsGOOC
Gen. Charles De Gaulle, rabid
rightist, leader Of Frances Rally of
the French People party (RPF),
continued his determined stumping
against communism by proposing
that France form a series Of alli-
ances with other nations fighting
Red infiltration.
France must take the initiative
because she is the most menaced,"
the RPF leader said, in lining up
with the United States, Great Brit
ain and other countries "who feel
themselves similarly menaced by
communism"
In this connection, lie grande
Charlie had a good idea: America,
he said, could furnish economic aid,
while France would furnish her
geographical position and moral
influence in Europe"
France, he continued, must not
appear in the role Of beggar. She
must work in conjunction" with
the U. S. in full equality.
De Gaul1e, who fears communism
more than he feared Nazi Germany,
revealed that one of the aims Of the
young RPF was to foster such
system of alliances as he was pro-
posing. That those alliances possibly
would produce the final cleavage be-
tween Russia and the democratic
powers was not disturbing the gen.
eral to any extent.

GOOD TRICK:
Tax Money

Neatest trick of the week was
turned by the Committee for Eco
nomic Development when it an
nounced that taxes could be cut
six billion dollars in 1948 and still
leave three-billion-dollar surplus
to be applied toward reducing the
national debt.
'The American economy needs a
tax reduction in the near future"
the group commented, adding that
the present system is "a threat to a
free economy and a free society,"
because ''it discourages new and in
dependent business and arrests the
growth of established business"
The pruning of revenues advo-
Gated by the CED would be half
again as great as that provided for
in the income tax bills vetoed by
President Truman last spring. But
there still would be four billion dol
lars left over for foreign aid.
CED. an economic planning organ
ization of business men, proposed
that the government adopt a "sta-
billing budget policy" by fixing tax
rates to produce an annual surplus
of three billion dollars under condi-
tons Of So per cent employment.
Rates would remain set unless
there is some major change in ma
tional policy or of national lfe," the
CED report said.
The recommended ''tax reform"
charts a cut in individual income
taxes to starting rate OF lis per
cent, instead Of IS per cent; reduces
the standard corporation tax rate
from SO to 80 per cent, and elimi-
mates all excise taxes except those
on gasoline, tobacco and alcoholic
beverages. That program would be
carried out step ~ step. culzninst.

DEADLINE:
December I

Apparently feeling that congress
sional approval of his request for
597 million dollars in stop-gap aid
for France, Italy and Austria was
assured, U. S. Secretary Of State
George Marshall sounded a new
keynote-speed.
He suggested to the house foreign
affairs committee that deadline Of
December l be established for
emergency relief to the three hard
pressed nations, and looked ahead
to an early March deadline for his
four-year, 20-billion-dollar plan for
eventual European recovery.
State department wi tn S S
backed up Marshall's plea for speed.
They testified present funds would
carry France and Italy only through
December, beyond which looms the
brink Of chaos and confusion-po-
itical, moral and economic-unless
additional help is rushed across the
sea.
Also testifying before the house
foreign group, Lewis Douglas, U. S.
ambassador to England, offered a
brief, pointed summary of the whole
issue Of immediate foreign aid:
: There can be no guarantee that the
aid program will succeed, but it
would be more risky to deny Europe
financial help and watch despair and
pandemonium spread across the
continent.
Finally, it was the opinion of Sec
rotary of Commerce Averell Harri-
man that emergency European re-
lief ''can be substantially met" de-
spite supply problems in this coun-
try.

China, Too

:. Virtually forgotten under the press
Of urgent affairs in Europe is the
problem Of China 49, ravaged, still
cor1torted in war, constantly back
sliding into greater political and eco
nonnic corruption.
AS a modicum Of aid and COM
fort to that Eastern nation, Secre-
tary Marshall has proposed a 300
million-dollar aid program to be adj
ninistered in conjunction with the
European phase of the Marshall
plan.
At the same time. Marshall held
to his stand that the suppressed re-
port of 1t. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer
on conditions in China would not be
made public. He intimated that it
drew such a dismal picture that to
release the report would be harm
full both to the United States and to
China.

ARMISTICE DAYS:
FAVOR Two

Now that the U. S. has passed
through two world wars, what
should be done about the nations
two armistice days, marking the
ends Of the conflicts?
In recent survey, DR.. George
Gallup said that majority of Amer
leans favor celebration Of two Ar
mistice Days-one on August ID, the
other on November II. This plan is
favored because it would provide
two work holidays instead Of one.
The average American is in some
thing of quandary over the ques-
ton, however, the survey disclosed.
Some people have proposed that
both armistices be celebrated on No.
vember II. Others hold out for a
double celebration on August IA, the
ending of World War II. However,
the idea that the two observances
be kept separate predominates.
Forty-six per cent Of the Gallup
voters favored the separate celebra-
tons, % per cent thought both
should be observed on November IL,
and per cent stated that August il
should be the inclusive date.
NO WAR:
Unless
In a swapping, snarling world,
Henry A. Wallace continues to re-
tain his unabating confidence in the
possibilities of peace. His latest as
sertion, made in Cleveland, was that
there will be no war between the
u. S. and Russia unless the United
States sends troops to Greece"
Then, he said, war would come
when the American troops acciden-
tally crossed the borders in the
north of Greece"
Touching briefly on his recently
completed Palestine tour. Wallace
said that the agreement between
Russia and this nation over the par
titioning of the Holy Land was the
