|Church Will Defend
Worker, Pope Tells
American Delegation
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

VATICAN CITY, July 16.-
Pope Plus XII today received IA
members of the American dele
CATION of the 3Oth international
Labor Conference which. ended
lat Geneva Friday, and told them
that the Catholic Church would
always defend" the worker
against any system which would
deny his inalienable rights"
The visitors, representatives of the
American State and Labor Depart
ments and of American labor organ
izations, will sail from Naples to-
morrow aboard the Saturnia, leaving
their chief, David A. Morse, to con-
fer at Geneva with labor attaches
of American Embassies all over
Europe.
OF the task of the delegates, the
Pope said it was vast and seemingly
unending." but 'one which chal-
lenges all that is noblest in the
human heart" ...+
He termed '.rightful' the work
ingman's desire to be independent
and secure possession Of what is
necessary to provide for himself and
his family a way of life in keeping
with his dignity and his con-
science, and said:
THAT Is why the church will
always defend him against any sys-
tenn that would deny this inalienable
rights, which derive not from any
civil society but from his own
human personality and would reduce
him to the state Of complete sub
lection to the bureaucratic clique
holding political power"
Any organization for improving
the lot Of labor, the pontiff said,
would be "a mechanism without
soul and hence without life and
fecundity" unless its charter pre-
scribed:
/. Respect for the human person
in all men ="
2. acknowledgement Of the soli-
darity of all people in forming the
human family ="
3. The imperative demand on
society to place the common good
above personal gain, the service Of
each for ALL"

U. S. Expected to Start
Work With Paris Groups
BY The Associated Press

In its role as one of Germany's
rulers, the United States probably
soon will begin working with the
Marshall plan" committees set up
at Paris to chart the economic re-
covery of Europe.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American
commander in Germany, is under
stood to have received instructions
to cooperate with the Paris groups
to the fullest extent necessary to
fit the American occupation zone
into the proposed new European
economic order.
This may require Gen. Clay to
assign officials to Paris to supply in
formation on Germany's coal pro-
duction prospects, industrial outlook,
trade possibilities and food needs.
But any action he takes, authori-
ties here said, will await some in
vitation from the Paris organiza-
ton itself.
The broad framework for Amer
ican collaboration in European re-
covery is set forth in the new policy
directive to Gen. Clay formally an
nounced here and in Berlin yester-
day.
This disclosed drastic change
in the direction of American policy
in Germany from the time the first
directive was issued shortly after
We day in May, 1945. :
Industrial Productions Limited.
At that time the whole emphasis
was on the denazification and de-
militarization of Germany and a
series of measures which would
render the nation incapable of max
ing war again.
That order also stated that the
standard of living of the German
people was not to exceed that OF
their neighbors and that industrial
production was to be strictly limited.
The new declaration, the first
general policy directive since the
1945 order, declares:
"An orderly and prosperous Eu-
rope requires the economic contribu-
tions of a stable and productive
Germany as well as the necessary
restraints to insure that Germany
is not allowed to revive its destruc-
tive militarism."

Britain May Have to Cut
Imports in December
By the Asseeiated Press


LONDON, July 16 (Pl.-A highly
placed government source said TO-
day there was a strong possibility
that Britain would be compelled to
cut her imports in December If
the United States delays congress
sional consideration of the Marshall
Plan until spring.
BY December at the present rate
of expenditure, Britain's dollar loan
from America will be near exhaus-
ton, the source said.
The British import and export
programs had been set up on the
assumption that there would be nc
interval between the exhaustion OF
the dollar loan and the effective
date of the Marshall Plan to restore
Europe, he declared. The British
government expects that the Mar

Labor Law Change Now
Unlikely, Taft Predicts
By the Associated Press


Senator Taft, Republican, Of Ohio
said yesterday he sees no chance
of Congress revising at this session
the Taft Hartley law prohibition
against political expenditures by
labor unions.
Instead, Senator Taft told a re-
porter, the issue of restricting politi-
cal activity by unions should be re-
ferred to the new Senate-House
study committee set up under the
new law.
He added that he opposes q bill
introduced by Senators Aiken, Re-
publican, of Vermont and Hatch
Democrat, OF New Mexico, which
would repeal the provision which
bans political expenditures by
unions. This measure has been re-
ferred to the Senate Labor Com
mittee, which Senator Taft heads.
The Ohioan said it may be that
this section of the law should be
revised, but that he sees no justif1ca-
ton for eliminating it altogether.

Germany can be kept under control
by means of the proposed four
power disarmament treaty - which
Russia incidentally has consistently
refused to accept in the manner
the United States advocates-and by
prolonged Allied occupation.
But it makes clear that Gen
Ciay's main task now is to bring
about a condition of economic re-
covery in Germany, which will make
the western zones self-supporting
and capable Of contributing to an
improved standard of living for all
Europe.
Maximum Contribution Aim.
In releasing the order here the
State Department stressed that it
provides for measures which will
enable Germany to make maxi
mum contribution to European re-
covery."
Actually, officials said, Gen. Clay
already had received instructions
to cooperate with the rest of Eu-
rope whenver an appropriate occa-
sion opened up. In the initial Or
ganization stage of the Paris con-
ference the United States main
tanned an attitude of complete aloof-
ness.
Thus when and II Gen. Clay ac-
cepts an invitation to fit Western
Germany's economy into that of
Europe, American officials will for
the first time take a direct, though
still strictly limited, part in the
work at Paris.
Secretary of State Marshall Is
known to be very reluctant to take
any step which might lay the United
States open to Russian propaganda
charges of debating to Europe.
But in his initial proposal for a
joint recovery program last month,
Gen. Marshall declared this Gov
ernment's willingness to provide
friendly aid" whenever a suitable
occasion arises.
European leaders are understood
to have inquired just what Gen.
Marshall meant by friendly aid"
While he has not clarified the point
yet, there is a growing belief at the
State Department that he will have
to do so before the work at Paris
| is finished.
