our plan. In the Harvard speech
Secretary Marshall reversed
this procedure. He told the Eu-
ropean governments to plan
their own rehabilitation, and
that then he would 60 to Con
gress for funds, and that then
the European governments
would have to carry out their.
plans as best they could with
the funds he could persuade
Congress to appropriate.
The difference is fundament-
al. The Truman Doctrine treats
those who are supposed to bene-
fit by it as dependencies Of the
United States, as instruments Of
the American policy for ICON
tanning" Russia. The Marshal
speech at Harvard treats the
European governments as indie
pendent powers, whom we must
help but cannot presume to gov
ern, or to use as instruments
of an American policy.
The Harvard speech was de
livered about three months aft
er President Truman's mes
sage. Much had happened in
those three months, and all OF
j: had gone to show that while
Congress and the people were
willing to applaud the Truman
Doctrine, because they r eX-
asperated with Russia, they
were not going to support it
with the funds and blanket au-
thority which it requires,
Though the President got the
funds he asked for in order to
apply his doctrine in Greece
and Turkey, he got them after
a long delay and in circum-
stances which were tantamount
to telling him not to come back
too soon for much more. The
plans, which existed, for eT-
tending the Truman Doctrine to
Korea and then to a series OF
impoverished, disordered and
threatened C untries on the
perimeter Of the Soviet Union,
were discreetly shelved.
Yet a crisis, ENORMOUSLY
greater than that in Greece or
Korea or Iran or Turkey, was
developing. It was a crisis Of
the British Empire, and of
France, and of Italy, and in
deed of the whole Western
World. Extraordinary measure
of American assistance were
obviously going to be needed
After Congress had showed its
attitude last spring, there was
no possibility that this as
sistance would be provided b.
applying the principles, the pro
cedure, and the precedent of The
Truman Doctrine. as 1t had
been revealed in the Greek al

Nevertheless, if we look at the
two main theaters of American
diplomatic interest - at China
and at Europe-and if we fix
our attention on Secretary Mar
shall's approach, we can see a
line Of policy developing which
is altogether different from the
line of the Truman Doctrine.
General Marshall's report on
China. which has now been re-
viewed and confirmed by Gen
eral Wedemeyer, made it. quite
clear that in his judgment we
could not, and should not, at
tempt the kind of intervention
in China which we are carry
ing on in Greece. The Marshall
and Wedemeyer reports do not
ar que that we can contain the
Soviet Union and erect unassail-
able barriers in its path by par.
ticipating in the Chinese civi.
war, as we are in the Greek
civil war, and by underwriting
Chang Kai-shek's government
as we are underwriting the
Athens government. The Mar.
shall line in China is not an
application of the Truman Doc.
trine, but of an older American
doctrine that we must not be.
come entangled all over the
world in disputes that we alone
cannot settle.
Yet the Marshall line in Chi
ma is not iso~lationist. It would
not end in our ceasing to in
terest ourselves in China and in
giving Russia a free hand. But
i: is emphatically not the line
of the Truman Doctrine which
would involve us as partisans
in the Chinese conflict and as
patrons of one faction.
The line of the Marshall poll
cy in China is to disentangle
the United States, to reduce, not
to extend our commitments in
Asia, to give up the attempt to
control events which we do not
have the power, the influence,
the means, and the knowledge,
to control.
The proposal which Secretary
Marshall addressed to Europe
in his Harvard speech last June
was animated by the same fun
damental conception as Chi
mas problem has to be dealt
with primarily by the Chinese,
so European problems have to
be dealt with primarily by Eu-
ropeans. Thus there was no
Marshall plan" for Europe:
The essence Of his proposal was
that only a European plan for
Europe could save Europe, or
provide a basis on which the
American people could prudent
~ and fairly be asked to help
Europe save itself. The Mar
shau proposal was not, as Mr.
'Molotov and many Americans
who do not understand it have
tried to make out. an extension
to Europe as a whole of the
experiment in Greece. Quite the
contrary. In Greece we made
an American plan, appropriated
the money, entered Greece, and
are now trying to induce the
Greek government to carry out

Needs Doctor
By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, NH

A 56-year = old businessman
left for his office, one morn
ing, with the feeling that his
breakfast had not agreed with
him. AS the morning wore on,
vague distress gave way To-
sharp pains which doubled him
up. His associates assured him
that it was indigestion, but he
decided to pyau safe, and called
his physician. Just before doing
so, he vomited, and noticed that
his stomach had become sore To
touch.
His physician warned him not
to take any medicine, food Or
drink by mouth, and to nave
someone bring him to the hos
pital. In the admission room it
was discovered that his stomach
was tender when pressed and
suddenly released. Blood exam
nation revealed that his white
cells were rising and an i'm
mediate operation for acute ap-
pendicitis was successfully per.
formed.
Acute appendicitis, in middle
and late life, is not as common
as in younger individuals. Di-
agnosis may be difficult In The
middle-aged and elderly unless
the possibility of appendicitis is
kept in mind. In advanced
years, appendicitis is q serious
disease.
Deaths from appendicitis
have become less common
through better cooperation Of
the public with the medical pro
fession, and more skillful sur
gerry. Appendicitis is a self
limiting disease which would be
relatively harmless were it not
for possible complications.
Taking medicines, such as
cathartics or purgatives, in an
effort to relieve the pain, not
only delays needed hospital
cation, but stirs up the inflamed
appendix so that rupture may
occur.
The cause of appendicitis is
not entirely clear. When the in
lection develops in a young per
son, it is more apt to follow
a trip or some exciting expert
ence. Cases often develop in
students going away to school
for the first time, and many
service inductees contracted the
disease in troop trains.

Charge Of
mistreatment to
DibabIed Vets

Washington, D. G. Mar. - Dis
abled colored veterans at the Vet
Grams Administration dOmiciliary
hospital in Kecoughtan, Virginia,
are being forced to dig ditch
with pick and shovel to lay a steam
pipe line on that reservation, a
veteran inmate of the hospital
charged here last Tuesday.
Tn vtran, who asked that his
name not be used because he is
returning to the hospital for fur
Their treatment, said colored men
are detailed by Veterans Admin
stration merical authorities to
work three hours a day digging
the ditch under the supervision of
a paid Civil Service foreman. He
said two colored veterans quit
the hospital last week because of
being made to perform such work.
Notified of the veterans charg-
es, Colonel F. w. FRANKIE, chief
of the Veterans Administration
Domiciliary Homes Division, said
last Tuesday that f the veterans
charges are true, the lKecho'f
installation is violating VA rules
regarding domiciliary patents.
A domciliary hospital for veter-
ons is in reality a convalescent
home for veterans. A veteran must
be at least rs per cent disabled to
gain entrance to one of the homes
but may leave the home at any
time he feels so inclined.
While at the home he is given
food, lodging and such medical
care as he may need. Many of the
men occupying such homes are
veterans who have chronic cases
of sickness for which there is
not much hope for cure and which
incapacitate them from earning
living.
The VA said last Tuesday that
there are now 3S2 colored men
in the domiciliary home at Ke-
coughtan and PIG men in the gen.
eral medical and surgical hospital
located there.
