They must not be hurled back into
the midnight darkness of q police
state. Pressed as they are by Com
munist threats within and without,
they must not succumb to strangu-
lation by the evil forces that assail
them"
The aid program, which Senate
leaders hope will be passed by to-
morrow, has among its objectives
the stimulation of "the responsible
ity of the respective nations" Sem
ator Connally said, continuing:
Those who do not endeavour to
help themselves must not expect our
help. They must realize that their
destiny is in their own hands. They
must acknowledge that their fortune
is of their making.
THE United States is willing to
help. 1t Is willing to aid, but 1t has
no desire whatever to intervene In
the domestic affairs of any recipient
nation. 1t has no purpose to control
their economy or their government
These things are wholly within the
determination Of the respective re-
cipent countries. We would not have
it otherwise"

In discussing Germany, Senator
Connally called 1t "the heart o.

they gathered with their advisers
around the circular, blue clothed
table. They were seated in hand
some red and gold chairs.
Gen. Marshall sat at a quarter OF
the round table, with Mr.. Molotov
on his right and Mr. Bidault on his
left. Mr.. Bevin was opposite the
American.
Bevin First in Room.
Mr.. Bevin was the first of the four
to enter the room. Mr.. Bidault,
Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Molotov fol-
lowed in that order Mr.. Molotov
moved around the table, about which
photographers were then clustered,
and shook hands, laughing and talk
ing, with old acquaintances from
other conferences.
The photographers went to work
on the historic scene. Mr.. Bevin
finally decided to start the meeting
and asked the photographers to
leave. Not man stirred.
Mr.. Bevin then resorted to a ira
ditional British saloon-closing call
and shouted:
Time, gentlemen, time-you under
stand that, don't you?"
That did the trick The scores of
photographers filed out. The Coun-
Gil of Foreign Ministers got down
to work.
Those who sat with Gen. Marshall
included Ambassador w. B. Smith
from Moscow, Ambassador to Britain
Lewis w. Douglas and John Foster
Dulles, Republican foreign affairs
leader.
Among his other conference ad-
visers are Charles D. Bohlen, Rus
sian expert and State Department
counsellor, and Gen. Lucius D. Clay
American commander in Germany.
Look to Soviet for Break.
The Foreign Ministers of Amer
lea, Britain and France looked to
Mr.. Molotov to produce break-if
there is to be one-in the east-west
deadlock over Germany's future.
A check of the top British and
American officials in the last hours
before the new conference opened
brought the information that they
, had not relaxed in the least their
opposition to Russias economic
political and reparations demands
concerning Germany.
Mr.. Bidault is in tough position
due to government upsets in Paris
and strikes and unrest throughout
his country. Some American Off
cials say they suspect this unrest
results from Soviet-inspired Com
munist efforts to embarrass Mr.
Bidault here and at the same time
discourage French participation In
the Marshall economic program.
The best information from French
informants, however, is that Mr.
Bidault intends to hold French poll
cies generally in line with those OF
America and Britain and wait with
them for Mr.. Molotov to take the
initiative, If any, in trying to ge
some positive results from the con-
. ference. ..t..a ..s-a-. s. s+ss, -~

Russians Demand Share
In Control of Ruhr

BERLIN, Nov. Is R.-The Rus
slams greeted the opening of the
Big -Four Foreign Ministers Confer
ence in London today with sharp
new demands in their official press
here for share in control Of the
industrial Ruhr and its coal
The Soviet Army organ Taegliche
Rundschau demanded a ''just divi-
sion of Ruhr COAL" 1t complained
that the Russian occupation zone
was not receiving a sufficient share
and therefore had to operate its
locomotives on brown coal Qignite)
with loss to industry.
1t assailed the "forcible" Anglo

Germany's great needs are neg

British Papers Play
Food, Housing News
Over Big 4 Farley
By the Associoied Press

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The people of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Britain faced
such a variety of both good and bad
news on the home front today that
the opening of the Big Four Foreign
Ministers Conference was relegated
to a secondary place in many of the
nations leading newspapers.
The good news included an in
crease in housing production, the
continuing high coal output, a re-
duction in the rate of drafting young
men for the armed forces, favorable
House of Commons action on new
social security legislation and the
volunteer unloading of 66,336 freight
cars of badly needed goods.
The bad news was found in a
statement by Food Minister John
Strachey that he was unable to
guarantee" that the potato ration
would be maintained at pounds
per person per week, and in the
announcement that half shipload
of bananas had spoiled en- route
from Kingston, Jamaica.
Must Count Stocks.
Mr.. Strachey told the House of
Commons that enough potatoes were
available to meet the current al
loWance, but added that 1T is i'm
possible to say what the final dis
tribution will be until we can take
an actual census of stocks in hand.
He estimated that of this years
crop 4,383 900 tons are available fol
human consumption. The nation
already has consumed 2,28l 900 tons
leaving 100000 for the remainder
of the potato year."
Hugh Gaitskell, Fuel Minister
said coal production last week wa!
4,246, 700 tons-or nearly 900 ton!
more than for the corresponding
period last year 1t was the thirt
successive week that the coal outpu
has been approximately 4,25O,00
tons, he said.
The government announced tina
1898 permanent houses had bee1
completed during October-or 1,19
more than in September and tn
highest figure since the program
began in January, 1916.
Volunteers Unload Cars.
The unloading of freight cars b.
volunteer help over the week en-
was adopted as means OF speeding
the production drive, explained
Chancellor of the Exchequer 81
Stafford Cripps, who thanked al
; who sacrificed their leisure to he'll
solve a national problem"
He estimated that 10000 worker
received time and one-half pay TO
their efforts.
The Ministry of Labor announced
that young men due to register TO
the armed forces next March woul'
be given three months respite il
order to help industry and spee'
rehabilitation by reducing tn
number of n-commissioned Off
GERS customarily used to train re
cruits.
In the House of Commons tn
national assistance bill was passe,
without opposition on the vital sec
ond reading and Minister of Healtl
Aneurin Bevan said the action woult
mark the end of the old so-callet
poor law"
The measure is designed to provid
new basis for the care of person
not covered by other social securit,
services and includes plans for "ho
tells" for old folks.

fact that if the London Conference
fails the United States will move
Immediately to unity the three
western zones of Germany to the
fullest extent possible, both politi-
cally and economically.
There is no plan, on the part OF
Gen. Marshall to make a separate
peace with this fragment OF Ger
many. The aim would be, rather. to
try to make this area, which IN
cludes the. Ruhr, self-sustaining
and a source of assistance to a
broader program of European re-
covery.
