enough to say that no girl has evei
tried to be more attractive single
than when she is married. I believe
I am quite safe in saying that just
because a woman has hooked her
man and led that poor old boy into
giving her joint bank account, she
has never reduced her standards Of
sweetness, quietness, loveliness and
all the other things which make
women so attractive and unpre-
dictable.
Some men may disagree with me,
but believe in my heart that q
girl who was always at her pretties:
when you were courting her, who
always gave feeling Of old mag
nolias and loveliness, did not do that
to snag a husband but only because
that was her gentle, lovely nature.
AL of those who agree with me in
the above paragraph will please
stand in corner on their crew

before the expiration date of my

As the train rolled through the

This Changing World
y. s.. Must Revise French Aid Estimates
Due to Huge Economic Losses by Strikes

there has been a distinct break with
the Communist dominated General
Confederation Of Labor (CGT) by
many unions. Workers, enjoying
the protection Of the government
through its police and armed forces,
felt safe in returning to work with
out fear Of molestation by the mus
clemen Of Maurice Thorez and
Andre Marty.
Moscow is doing its best to pre-
vent Europe's recovery, and par
ticularly the recovery of the coun-
tries outside the iron curtain. It
is especially hostile right now to
France, which Moscow denounces
for having broken the Franco-Rus-
sian treaty Of alliance because the
French government dared to take
strong steps against subversive
Communist elements, which had a
free hand for their activity until
the Schuman cabinet was formed.
In some quarters it is suspected
that Russia, in order to bolster its
SCooseS III france, may go long
way automatically to embarrass
the Schuman government.
Deficits Not Foreseen.
Even If we assume that the back
bone of tie Communist strikes has
been broken and that the workers
will be willing to return to work, it
will be another 10 days before
Frances economic life returns to
normal, according to the most op-
timistic views.
This means that France stands
to lose another 100000 900 before
work Is resumed all over the coun-
try. In other words, France will
be faced with a production deficit
Of more than 100000, 900, which had
not been foreseen by the experts who
last summer evaluated Frances
needs until March 81 at 1928, 900, 900.
The question has not been
brought up officially yet. But the
facts are there and nobody knows
from what source this unexpected
loss of production can be recovered

1t would be mistake for Britain,
America and France to overlook the
main Russian thesis, which is eco
nomic help of some kind. There is
an opportunity to assent in principle
to German reparations and to find
a way to spread the payments over
so years, perhaps. and begin to elicit
from Russia some tangible modif1-
cations in her policy to date.
What appears on the surface to
be deadlock" gives signs of yield
ing to the realistic facts of Russia s
economic weakness and the CORE
spending strength of the three de-
mocracies. What is more than ever
important is united support of the
principles of the Marshall plan and
the immediate passage by Congress
of the "stopgap" aid plan. 1t is one
way to disillusion the Russians and
to bring to an end their protracteo
effort to win their way by bludgeon-
ing. The leverage for bringing
agreement at last seems to be In the
hands Of America. Britain and
France.

agreed on rep S"hs'"n'"e oro"h'
resented q minimum sufficient to
tide the country over until next
April, provided, however, that there
was no major upheaval. Nobody was
willing to predict that the Moscow
directed French Communists would
succeed in breaking down French
economy.
Huge Production Loss.
According to latest reports from
Paris, the strikes which have oc-
CURED in the past % days have
robbed French economy of four bill
lion francs a day (about $32,000,-
00O in production. BY the end of
last week French production showed
a loss of some $736 100000, more
than twice the amount to be ap-
propriated by the American Con-
gress for stopgap relief in the next
four months.
We have not yet seen the end of
the French strikes, although one Sc
ries is now over. 1t is true that
the drastic antistrike laws obtained
by Premier Robert Schuman from
Parliament have had a wholesome
effect on French workers. Moreover,

going to write the thing that struck
me hardest when I got to New York.
The new look was not designed
for wives. Most wives are between
20 and "a years Of age and they just
don't look good in the new look
The new look belongs to fashion
models who run around 6 feet tall
with vacant faces. OF course, there
are many women who would like to
be feet tall and have vacant faces,
for every woman in her heart would
like to look like page SO of the
magazine her husband subscribes to.
Now, if you will allow me a slight
depression, I would like to comment
on wives. There is just one thing
girls will not remember. When a
man is courting a girl, he's got his
best foot forward. He opens car
doors. He lights cigarettes. He
wears clean shirts and spotless ties.
He is trying his very best to make
his girl take his name and belong
to him. All girls should always re-
member that the men they marry
are slightly different from the men
who courted them.
Gentle, Lovely Nature.
OF course, this does not apply to
girls. I think I am chivalrous

American and British taxpayers
required a change. The Germans
had to pay their own way.
The French feared the revival Of
a Germany stronger than other Eu-
ropean countries. They also failed
initially to grasp the fact that Eu-
rope as whole had lost, irrevocably,
her prewar position; that squeezed
between two titanic continental
powers her very existence hung in
the balance, and that truncated
Germany, cut off from her agricul-
tural hinterland, either would have
to reindustrialize, seek reunion in
alliance with the Soviets or stay
permanently on relief.
The recovery of Germany has
been nonexistent. France, Belgium
and the Netherlands, despite diff
culties and disturbances, brought
production up to between IS and 95
per cent OF the 1888 level, but Ger
man production is still 60 per cent
below that level.
Plants to Be Dismantled.
To make Germany self supporting
it was obvious that she would have
to provide for as many Of her in
ternal needs as possible and export
enough to pay for imports of essen
tial raw materials and food. eight
basic raw materials already have
been prohibited) Even with the
agricultural lands since torn from
her-whieh produced nearly one
quarter of the Reich's food sup
pnes--Germany never was more
than 80 per cent self-sufhcient in
food, despite the highest use Of COM
mercial fertilizer of any European
country.
In this dolorous situation so costly
to her late enemies, the western oc-
cupation forces on October 16 pub
lished a final list of 681 industrial
plants to be dismantled. OF these,
304 were built for war purposes, plus
80 already anocated to reparations.
But what of the remaining 345
described as being surplus" to a
| peaceful German economy?
I never have seen a complete list,
but one of them is Dusseldorf firm,
the largest German manufacturer
of soap!
The present monthly soap ration
is nine ounces of washing powder,
one stick of shaving soap for men,
and one small cake Of toilet soap.
The fatty acid content Of these is
infinitesimal-some 3.3 per cent. I
have a cake of the toilet soap, and
to use it is like attempting to wash
with a bit Of stone.
Infections are Rampant.
Infections are rampant; the tu-
berculosis death rate is flve times
that of prewar; epidemics resulting
from dirt-typhus and dysentery,
worms Of various kinds, and an itch
not seen since the Middle Ages
flourish. Last February, 20 per cent
of Hanover school children were
scratching their infected bodies.
Newborn babies are perishing at
the rate of 18 per 100-partly be-
cause of dirt-while clothing is so
short that few have more than one
change, requiring constant washing.

Episode at a Party.
Now the question is revived by 6
new episode-a drink-and-telI temp.
est involving Gen. Eisenhower.
Gen. Eisenhower, a sociable ane
much-Sought-after fellow, accepted
an invitation to a rather inchoate
Pennsylvania party which started a:
celebration for the new member Of
the House from Allentown, Repre-.
sentative Underwater, who de.
feated CIO candidate under excel.
lent propaganda circumstances.
The hosts of the House Pennsy1.
vania delegation found, somewhat tx
their surprise, that the great mer
they hopefully invited-Candidate:
Taft, Vandenberg, Eisenhower
among others-were happy to &C.
cept. The party apparently grew
to be quite an affair with the
Pennsylvania national committee
man, Mason Owlett, and elder
statesman Joe Grundy of high tariff
fame among the out-of town cele-
brants.
Who finally picked up the check
is still withheld. In any case Penn
sylvania, the only large pivotal State
as yet uncommitted to a major
proved it's political allure
with a genuinely important guest
list.
After dinner the ladies retired and
the gentlemen settled down for q
bull session. The next day the
cloakrooms Of Congress resounded
with a lurid account of what Gen.
Eisenhower there proposed as a solu-
ton to inflation-a method more
than a little unkind to the profit sys-
tenn. A version thereafter reached
the radio.
Nothing of the Sort"
A participant, Arthur Krock, the
distinguished head of the New York
Times Bureau, categorically states
that Gen. Eisenhower said nothing
Of the sort. Nothing serious at all
was said, according to Mr.. Krock.
He explained that everybody began
to talk about imitation and what
ought to be done with each remedy
offered probably more absurd than
the rest.
Mr.. Krock, is not repeating what
the general contributed. AS the
version on the hill Mortified the con-
servatives 1t may be safely conjec-
tured that somebody thought Eisen-
hover was to the left Of President
Mckinley.
This Is by no means the first time
the Washington sounding board has
been bombarded with what innocents
abroad might regard as private con-
versation. It's added piquancy, OF
course, arises from the circumstance
that Gen. Ike ventured out into
