RED ACTION:
Riots. Terror

Communist-borne trouble and ter
ror was on the increase in France
and Italy.
Spreading paralysis gripped the
French port city Of Marseille as
workers responded to a general
strike call by Communist labor
leaders after a day Of rioting in
which one person was fatally wound
ed and six others seriously hurt.
In Milan, Italy, Commuhists
sacked an anti-Red newspaper plant
and attacked a police station in the
course of rioting which gripped the
city in state of near terror. They
demanded the immediate suppress
sion Of newspapers (which incite
people to hate and vengeance" the
suppression of organizations of Fas-
cist character" and the arrest at
once of "all persons suspected for
their activity against the Italian
republic"
In both MarSeille and Milan, the
Communists seized upon relatively
unimportant incidents and managed
to magnify them to point where
they could incite violence.

tice Charles Evans Hughes. Gilbert,
speaking of Hughes, said: HE talks
to the country daily. He takes the
people into his confidence, telling
all that can be told, and as soon as
it can be told. He makes no step
without carrying the country with
him that is democratic control
of foreign relations.
Well, that is not State Secretary
Marshalps way.
Many of the traits that make
a man a splendid leader of ar
mics, a strategist, likewise
make It impossible for him to
cater to a public which reacts
only to emotions-not as armor
plate reacts to shellfire. You
cannot land a million men on a
foreign beachhead, nor feed and
clothe and care for them so they
can carry out their gigantic
mission, with glib tongue, a
charming smile or a keen sense
of publicity that gets your cam

NEWS REVIEW
NEWS REVIEW
Aid Deadline Requested;
Il. S. Corn Yield Down
DEADLINE:
December I

Apparently feeling that congress
sional approval Of his request for
597 million dollars in stop-gap aid
for France, Italy and Austria was
assured, U. S. Secretary of State
George Marshall sounded new
keynote-speed.
He suggested to the house foreign
affairs committee that deadline Of
December / be established for
emergency relief to the three hard
pressed nations, and looked ahead
to an early March deadline for his
four-year, 20-billion-dollar plan for
eventual European recovery.
State department with es e s
backed up Marshall's plea for speed.
They testified present funds would
carry France and Italy only through
December, beyond which looms the
brink of chaos and confusion-po-
itical, moral and economic-unless
additional help is rushed across the
sea.
Also testifying before the house
foreign group, Lewis Douglas, U. S.
ambassador to England, offered
brief, pointed summary of the whole
issue of immediate foreign aid:
There can be no guarantee that the
aid program will succeed, but it
would be more risky to deny Europe
financial help and watch despair and
pandemonium spread across the
continent.
Finally, it was the opinion Of Sec
retary of Commerce Averell Harri-
man that emergency European re-
lief "can be substantially met" de-
spite supply problems in this coun-

China, Too

Virtually forgotten under the press
Of urgent affairs in Europe is the
problem of China - ravaged, still
contorted in war, constantly back
sliding into greater political and eco
nomic corruption.
AS a modicum Of aid and COM
fort to that Eastern nation, Secre-
tary Marshall has proposed 300
million-dollar aid program to be ad-
ministered in conjunction with the
European phase of the Marshall
plan.
At the same time, Marshall held
to his stand that the suppressed re-
port of 1t. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer
on conditions in China would not be
made public. He intimated that it
drew such a dismal picture that to
release the report would be harm
full both to the United States and to
China.
