lens OF reconstruction. In this
situation the economic and flnancia.
policies maintained by the United
States are of crucial Importance.
We have contributed nearly $780,
600 900, 900 since the war to world
relief, reconstruction and stabiliza-
ton. We have taken the lead In
the establishment of the World
Bank and the world stabilization
fund. We have co-operated fully In
the work of the economic and Social
Council of the United Nations! We
have authorized aid to Greece and
Turkey. We have made generous
loans through our Export-Import
Bank. And we have suggested to
European nations that further re-
quests for American aid should be
on the basis of sound plan Tor
European reconstruction.
Negotiate ON Tariffs.
Our representatives are in Geneva
negotiating series of tarif-reduc-
ing trade agreements. They are
seeking agreement with other ma
tions on the charter of an inter-
national trade organization designed
to bring fairness and spirit of CO.
operation into the trade relations
of nations.
I believe that the United States
is living up to its responsibilities for
creating the economic conditions of
peace. We must realize. that these
responsibilities are continuous. Even
the emergency aspects of the job
are not yet behind us. a.. >.
1t is not enough. however, for
one nation to live up to its respon-
sibilities for aiding reconstruction
and for cooperating in the produc-
tion and the exchange of goods.
The cooperation of all nations is
necessary if the job is to be done.
To the extent that any nation falls
behind, to that extent will urgent
needs for food, clothing and shelter
remain untitled.
Yet, certain nations today are
withholding their support of re-
construction plans on the ground
that this would mean interference
by some nations in the internal af-
fairs of others. This is as fallacious
as the refusal of a man to enter
profitable business partnership on
the ground that it would involve
interference in his private affairs.
Eternal Peace Goal.
Surely after two world wars, ma
tions should have learned the folly
of a nationalism so extreme as to
block cooperative economic plan
ming among nations for peaceful
reconstruction.
The life of Thomas Jefferson DEM
onstrates, to a remarkable degree,
the strength and power OF truth.
He believed, with deep conviction,
that in this young nation the sur
vival of freedom depended upon the
survival of truth.
And so 1t Is with the world.
AS, the spirit of freedom and the
spirit of truth spread throughout
the world, so shall there be under
standing and justice among men.
This is the foundation for peace
peace which is not merely the
absence of war, but deep, lasting
peace built upon mutual respect and
tolerance.
Our goal must be-not peace in
our time-but peace for all time.

Allies Are Reported
Pressing Macarthur
On Jap Reparations
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TOKYO, July 4.-The involved
question of japanese reparations
was attacked from TWO angles yes
terday, informed quarters saying
several Allied nations soon might
iomcially protest Gen. MacArthur's
alleged ''do-nothing" policy, while a
Japanese lawmaker popped up with
demands that Japan refuse" to
pay.
The Philippines, China, Britain
and the Netherlands were men
toned as among countries impatient
to start the reparations program to
hand much of Japan's industrial
equipment to the victors.
The informants said that while
the problem was difficult, they could
see no reason why interim transfers
of property could not get started.
U. s. Seen Put on Spot.
One Allied source said he felt that
Gen. Macarthur as supreme COM
mander Of the occupation was put
ting the United States ION the spot"
by failure to go ahead with interim
distribution of 80 per cent of Japan's
surplus industrial capacity, which
was authorized early this year.
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
issued a list of IS machine tool and
IL power plants as tentative repara-
tions selections some months ago
and another list was to have been
issued within 80 days, but never has
been forthcoming.
Informants said they now were
being told that the original list
might have to be rechecked by
engineers.
Strike Group Made Survey.
A committee headed by Clifford
Strike made reparations survey
for the War Department early in
the year. Its findings never were
made public, but were understood to
recommend against large-scale re-
movals.
There are current reports that
some members of the Strike COM
mittee have been asked to return to
Japan for another survey.
Meanwhile, Yukio Ozaki, inde-
pendent who at SO is the oldest man
in the Japanese House of Represen-
tatives, distributed to Diet members
a resolution urging temporary
United Nations trusteeship for
much of Japan's former empire,
equality for Japan at a peace con-
ference, and refusal" of japan to
pay all reparations.

The traditional month of brides
used to be June. But nowadays
every month florists all over the
Nation are busy preparing bridal
bouquets and the other floral ar
rangements that go into the max
ing of a picturesque wedding.
And since florists are the "peo-
pie In the know" it is fitting that
we should go to them for con-
sultation on ''The Brides Bou-
quet."
Most brides today are very fond
of the bouquet with the removable
corsage that may be worn as a
going-away adornment. Pictured is
one made of lily of the valley and
three white orchids. The thrill of
catching the brides bouquet is still
there, but the bride herself can
enjoy the orchids, which are re-
movable. For a less traditional
bridal bouquet and more for a gar
den type of wedding is the other
bouquet that Allyn Wayne, flower
stylist, has designed. 1t Is distinc-
tive and fresh and is composed of
assorted garden flowers, arranged
Evening star., 1947-06-20

so that harmonious color scheme
can be evolved. Originality counts
as much In a wedding as 1t does In
anything else. But simplicity is al
ways to be desired.
Cascading bouquets are gaining
in bridal favoritism, as are prayer
books covered with satin and an
orchid and flower -decked ribbons
The cascading bouquet is arranged
to be held gracefully and with
much charm. Many brides are
guilty of holding their bouquets up
too high.
Good taste In your flowers and
floral arrangements can be achieved
with competent help and consulta-
ton with your florist. He is as
anxious as any wedding participant
to have the occasion one of beauty
Don't be afraid to ask about things
that perplex you. At this point we
can't resist telling you about the
bride who either in her excitement
or her ignorance held her bouquet
upside down during her entire
march down the aislei 4
Evening star., 1947-06-20

Another thing that many for
lists study carefully is the period
OF the gown. The brides bouquet
should conform to it. For example,
a picture gown of Colonial type
should have q nosegay bouquet.
Wedding customs vary, of course
but here in America 1t is customary
for the groom to furnish the brides
bouquet. The bride is usually fur
nished with boutonnieres by most
florists for the groom and the ush-
ers. The bridegroom also usually
gets his and the brides mothers
corsage. All church and reception
floral arrangements are made by
the bride.
And here's tip for the bride. If
you would have the fragrance of
your bridal bouquet trailing behind
you as you go down the aisle
PLEASE don't wear sultry, heavy
perfume, We've found the ideal
bridal day perfume for you. 1t is
a blend of lily of the valley, rose
and jasmine. A brides perfume that
has been especially created for you
and your bridal bouquet!
