MARSHALL PLEADS

It was not entirely coincidence that cn the day the Big Three Marshall Plan Conference broke up in Paris, Secretary of State Mar ahall went up to the Capitol, plead ed with the Senate almost on bend cd knee to pass the Mundt Bill authorizing the State Department to conduct foreign propaganda.
 For, while Marshall was pleading with the Senate not to muzzle the State Department Voice Of Am orica Russian propaganda was b'anng forth the Molotov version of why the Paris conference failed.
 That version was that the USA wanted to r1eddle with the sover- eighty of small European nations, wanted Go dominate Europe, wanted to tell each country who it could or could no. have in power.
 Actually the chief disrupter, dom- inator and meddler in Europe has been not the LISA but the USSR- as witness Hungary, Bulgaria, Yu- goslavia Rumania and to some eX- tent Austria and Greece.
 However, when people are told one thing and told it often enough they get to believe it. And a large rart of Europe has come to believe the Soviet propaganda machine simply because the State Depart ment hasn't had sufficient means to give the other side of the story

 Several weeks ago the Department of Agriculture laid itself open to criticism by destroying more than 10 900 bushels of potatoes. The which its spokesmen and apologists gave for doing 50 were sound enough on logical and legal grounds. Yet from psychological standpoint destruction of the potatoes was a mistake Those who have not been brought up on the economy of waste and have seen hunger at first hand abroad shocked by the incident. Waste for them is the greatest of all sins.

BARUCHS GOLD WAR"

Best description of what's going on in Europe today was given by elder statesman Bernie Baruch when he saiG we were in a cold war" Actually Baruch gives credit to ghost-writer Herbert Bayard Swope for coining the phrase)
 What the Swope- -Baruch team meant, of course, was that we are in war of nerves, politics, and la Dor movements. If the LISA can WOO and win certain political groups in France and Italy, it can keep Western Europe from gong Communist. If, on the other hand, Russia can WOO and win them, Eur i ope will definitely go Communist. During tde war, the Office of Strategic Services spent millions smuggling U. s. labor leaders be- hind enemy lines to make contacts with German, Italian, Australian, French, Norwegian labor leaders, thus undermining Axis politics and industry. In today's cold war the same thing is even more necessary but with not one cent being spent on it.
 In contrast, the Russians have agents in U. s. factories, in U. s. labor unions, even some in U. s. Government offices.
 And to get money from Congress so we won't have to sweat out Jiils cold war with our mouth gagged and one arm tied behind our back, General Marshall literally -has to get down on his knees before Con- eress. Even then he doesn't get what he really needs.
 Ncte-Though the shrewd British are pulling almost everything out of Greece for economy reasons
 they aren't reducing their propa ganda operations there. British ''irfol nation" to Greek schools ano newspapers costs around S2,000 ,00( annually; OUTS did cost $125 ,0OO- until Congress cut it out.
