of Mr.. Lilienthal. In 1t he describes
how the iva has improved the land
by teaching the farmers soil erosion
control methods and the like. He
states proudly that the farmers of
the area were induced to accept
these better methods by gifts of
free fertilizer This is the system
that he halls as democracy. Only
the hypercritical would suggest that
paying some one to do something is
a poor description of democracy.
Just SO, "Hinky Dink" Kenna, who
used to slip the human derelicts in
Chicago's first ward a dollar on
election day to vote his ticket, was
knee deep in democracy.

implicitly in his eloquent words on

If it were permitted to pursue Mr..
Lilienthal into the stratosphere,
where he eXhales the purest of oXy-
gen, we would undoubtedly find him,
as usual, wrapping himself up in the
iva, the flag, or democracy. No
one except Senator McKellar lex
clamation pointD would be so base
as to deny that Mr.. Lilienthal is a
knight in shining armor, who would
disdain any thought except on be-
half of the people; or to question
that he is the only symbol that we
have of international co-opera-
tion,' and that the early doom of
our democracy and civilization is in
the cards, if Mr.. Lilienthal is not
given the job that "he did his
damndest" to avoid by pulling every
wire to get. If it were true as basely
charged that. despite his ability, he
is predisposed to intrigue, is given to
ruthleSsness and, at times, is not too
scrupulous in promoting his per-
sonal ambitions, this is not to his
discredit. After all, Mr.. Lilienthal

Federal Loyalty Board
Holds First Meetinq

The Federal Loyalty Board held
its first meeting today as it began
its job of formulating standards and
procedures to be used in the loyalty
investigation program.
Headed by Seth w. Richardson,
chairman of the group, the 20 men,
bers were to meet with President
Truman later today. Still later, the
members will confer with Attorney
General Clark.
The sessions today are expected
to result in decision as to whether
the list of subversive organizations
to be used as loyalty standards are
to be made public. Indications are
that the lists will be made available,
along with a policy statement that
an employees membership in an or
ganization of that type wouldn't
necessarily mean he was ,disloyal.
Active participation in such a
group would be the basis of deter
mining an employees loyalty rather
than mere membership, according
to the proposed statement. Com
mission officials as well as some
board members have expressed the
view that many persons unwit-
tingly have joined Communications
mated organizations and have no
idea of what is going on in them.

Europe's Recovery Is Painfully Slow
The War Has Been Over for Two Years but the People Wonder
About Peace They Wait Hopefully and Work for Security

LONDON.-Europe twitches today
in a spring of discomfort.
Two years after We day and its
liberation, the wasted continent
bewails its insecurity. Political quar-
rels divide its leaders. Economic
evils beset its peoples. War is ended,
but there is no peace.
Yet, on the outer edges and in
the back reaches, there are signs
of recovery.
Much of the prolonged GONZALES
cence from war sickness has been
due to elemental shortages-short-
ages of food. clothing and shelter.
These have been supplied, in the
main, from abroad.
Europe will be strong again when
it can, for the most part, feed,
clothe and house itself. Signs of
recovery. by that formula, first ap-
pear in the farms, fields and forests.
Woes in All Tongues.
The recital of the troubles of
Europe's peoples-the woes of the
little man-from north to south and
east to west differs only in the
language in which it is spoken.
Britain, its coal supplies shorter
this year than ever before, its ra-
tions cut below wartime levels, its
houses inadequate to serve millions
now out of uniform, grumbles most
noisily.
The Labor government, convinced
that Socialist planning and ma
tionalization can cure long-seated
economic troubles In time, moves
steadily ahead with its legislative
program against bitter political op-
position. New restrictions, such as
increased taxes and higher prices,
are greeted with howls in the press.
But men are going to the mines,
farmers are beginning to rebuild

fields, and hopes for a harvest of
better times.
Italy is bitter about her fate.
Despite her eleventh hour switch
over to the Allies, italy knows the
taste of defeat in the loss of colo
nies, territory, naval might and
Ireparations. She is still host to
American and British soldiers-and
wishes they would go home.
Crops have been short and UNRRA
is ending. In the cities, the people
talk of famine and food riots. In
f1ation casts its black shadow. Labor
agitates for higher wages. Political
thought divides ever more sharply to
right and left, breeding fear of an
other dictatorship. War talk in
creases.
Yugoslavs Optimistic.
Against this background, Giuseppe
finds little solace. He knows his
living costs are approximately 40
times what they were in 1888, but
his wages have increased only 13 to
% times, depending on his job. He
is lucky If he has not sold of most
of his priced possessions to keep
alive.
But trade is reviving. Specially
food products are flown to hungry
Britain. Efforts are being made to
work out big financial settlements.
The Italian glowers darkly, but the
tide Is on the change.
The scene is definitely optimistic
in Yugoslavia. Here the people
have spent two postwar years In an
all-out fight for reconstruction and
there Is hardly Serb or . Croat
who viii not agree that today life is
infinitely better.
There Is still much to be done.

After the coldest, bleakest winter

gets his peeves off his chest, he

hope in sight.
Imitation in France.
France, in typical French fashion,
is a tempest. In the cities the
black market is the most important
factor. Against 1t the government
is bringing its weight to bear slowly,
but steadily. Dealings in foreign
currencies are becoming less and
less lucrative. Prices ostensibly have
been lowered 10 per cent but there
is definite imitation.
Food, by contrast with Britain, is
plentiful - but only at a. price.
Housewives lined up again this week
as cut in bread rations sent more
people to the bakeshops. Housing
conditions are bad, with the black
market forcing rents skyward.
Clothing and shoes come easily only
to the very wealthy.
