Britain disagree with them
selves and with each other over
long-range policy and hesitate to
put it into being, the two ma
tons advertise a serious weak
ness in their German program,
and such a weakness must in
evltably provoke a Ger
man show of strength. If fac
tories are to be dismantled, the
basis upon which they will be
selected must be set out, a list
of such factories decided upon
and the dismantling carried ouf
with dispatch.
Most clearly, it is not a mat
ter in which Germany will be
consulted or in which German
wishes will carry any signitl-
cant weight. The occupying
countries will establish the poll

regardless of German protests.

Until such a settlement is
reached, the United Nations has
to be protected by its support

The true friends of the United
Nations will, therefore, be OPP
posed to entangling the

American conflict. No good and
nothing but harm can come of
using the Security Council and
the Assembly as an arena of the
great dispute, or of acting as if

thought that somehow we could

Germany Resists
An Editorial From The New York Herald Tribune

Three times within a century
Germany has led the nations of
the world into war. II the con-
querors IN the latest catastro-
phe have survived with any mis-
sion at all, it is to put an end
TO this recurring menace. But
the proper approach to the
problem has been a matter OF
debate, in which first one side
and then the other appears on
Its way to ascendancy, and poll

couraged by this Allied indeci-
slveness, the Germans now indi-

British Loan Lessons
BY PETER S

cion grows that a lot of these
millions may have gone down
the drain, as Churchill charged.
In the full exercise of their
hindsight, American officials
now see some of their mistakes
- a lot of little ones, but two
big ones. First, the money was
turned over to the British on
demand, with no controls, eth
err British or American, on how
it was to be spent. Second, the
British had no advance plan for
its spending-so many dollars for
this and so many for that.
The whole SO billion plus was
simply dumped into the British
Treasury, with normal receipts
from taxes or other sources of
revenue. And it was drawn on,
as needed, for whatever was re-
quired at the time. That's why
it is so hard to give any ac-
curate idea of how the loan was
spent. 1t was simply used to pay
balance of trade deficits as they
arose.
AS a result, 1t is possible to
say that the American
taxpayers loan to Britain went
to pay for things Ike these:
To the American authoress of
Forever Amber" for royalties
on the sale of her book in Eng
land; to U. S. movie moguls in
Hollywood, for profits of films
shown in British theaters; to
American tobacco growers, for
cigarets that went up in smoke
in England; to the Argentine
government, which profiteered
on the sale of foodstuffs need
ed to keep the British people
from starving; to the Germans,
who got the benefit from Ameri-
can food shipped to the British
zone of occupation in Germany.
ana SO OIL. INOt oil VI Vic 1oall
was wasted in this way. Only a
small part of it.
But what it demonstrates is
that in granting new credits to
Europe under the Marshall
Plan, it will not be enough to
grant the 16 western European
countries loans to finance
their estimated SIG billion trade
deficits in the United States as
they see fit.
There should be first, a clear
understanding of why every dol
lar is wanted and for what. And,
second, there will have to be
some hardheaded supervision of
expenditures to make sure the
money does good only to those
people who need help.
If the Hartman Committee of
10 recommends anything else, it
wiz be falling Down on its job.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-03

WASHINGTON, - M e mbers
of Congress, U. S. State De
partment experts and Secretary
of Commerce Averell Har-
riman's Committee of 10 are all
set to view with an extremely
fishy eye the 19-to-22-billion-do
lar Marshall Plan estimates
dreamed up by the 16 western
European nations financial
planners at their Paris confer
ence.
The official summary cabled
to Washington told almost moth
ing except the dollar totals on
the extimated balance of trade
deficits for the next four years.
These dollars totals don't mean
a thing, and it is unfair to try
to judge how the Marshall Plan
will work out on this basis
alone. What's needed is a specif-
ic breakdown by commodities
ana Dy countries.
Full text of the Paris report,
with all its supplements, gives
more of this detail. But, before
this business is over, it may be
necessary to bring to Washing
ton some of these teams
of European fuel, manufacture
ing, transportation and food ex-
perts to explain how they ar
rived at their totals and to JUS
tify them.
For, out of the $3.75 billion
loan to Britain, some valuable
though costly lessons on post
war aid have been learned.
Strange as it may seem, it is
today impossible to get, from
either British or American
sources, any accurate break
down on how the $685. billion of
that loan, Withdrawn thus far,
has been spent.
Most complete report to date
was 1 n Hugh Dalton's speech to
Parliament on Aug. 7, but even
that didn't add up by $185 mil
lion, a rather stable amount for
the books to be out of balance.
British officials in Washington
say that, of course, they have
better figures, but nothing can
be given out until they are re
ported to Parliament at the end
of October. U. S. State,
Treasury and Commerce Off
cials say that, of course, they
have better figures, but they
were received confidentially
from the British. And it wouldn't
be cricket to put them out ahead
of London. The good old Ameri-
can taxpayer will just have to
wait, if he wants to know how
his money was spent on this
project.
In the meantime, the suspi-

Today And Tomorrow

when these issues have been
settled.
Judging by the speeches in
the Greek affair of the British
and the American delegates, Sir
Alexander Cadogan and Mr.
Herschel johnson appear to be
acting on instructions which
treat the U. N. as dependable
in our conflict with Russia. 1t
is a great pity. Nothing is being
accomplished to win the con-
flict, to assuage it, or to settle
it. But the U. N, which should
be preserved as the last best
hope of mankind that the con-
flict can be settled and a peace
achieved, is being cheWed up.
The seed corn is being devour-
ed.
Why? Because the policy of
containment, as Mr.. X has ex-
posed it to the world, does not
have as its objective a settle
ment Of the conflict with Rus
STA. 1t is therefore implicit in
the policy that the U. N. has no
future as a universal society,
and that either the U. N. will
be cast aside like the League of
Nations, or it will be transform
ed into an anti-Soviet coalition.
In either event the U. N. will

Children May
Need Glasses
By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, MD

By WILLIAM A. O'BR1EN, MD
Children should wear glasses
if they need them. Glasses do
not weaken the eyes. In fact.
they do not affect them at all.
They help the child to see bet
ter with the eyes he has.
If a child does not see clear
ly, he should be examined BY
a competent physician, since he
may have either a conditiou
which a be corrected by
wearing glasses, or a disease If
the eyes.
The most common cause of c
young child's need of glasse, Is
squirt or crossed-eyes. One y
may be more far-sighted than
the other, or one eye may be
far-sighted and the other nor
NAL. Trying to see clearly is
a strain on q child with a mis-
mated pair of eyes, and, as it
is possible to see with one eye,
the overworked eye may stop
functioning.
Proper glasses correct vision
in the poor eye, so that the
child can use both eyes at the
same time. The earlier this is
done the better it is for the
child, as children do not out
grow squirt.
Normal children are far-sight.
ed. AS the body grows, the eyes
grow with it, and, eventually,
they should function properly.
Far-sighted children can pass
a vision test with the ordinary
wall chart by straining their
eyes. When they complain of
eyestrain symptoms, therefore.
a special eye examination,
which does not permit them to
strain their eyes, should be
made.
Children with near > sighted
ness (myopia) can read a book
held close to their eyes, but
cannot recognize a face at a
distance. Ordinary myopia is
not progressive, but near-sight-
ed children should have their
eyes checked at frequent inter
walls to be certain they are be-
ing properly corrected.
Astigmatism is caused by ir-
regularity of the curves through
which the rays of light must
pass to reach the back of the
eyes. Marked eyestrain may re-
suit if the proper glasses are
not worn.
QUESTION: My sister has
had amebic dysentery four
times. Would an operation help
her?
ANSWER: 1t would only help
by draining the liver abscess,
if one is present. 1t would not
help the infected bowel.

THE COLD WAR

In this article we may con-
slider the question of how we
are to relate our role in the
United Nations to our policy in
the conflict with Russia. Mr.. X
does not deal with this question.
But the State Department in it's
attempt to operate under the
Truman Doctrine, has shown
where that doctrine would take
us. 1t would take us to the de-
struction of the U. N.
The Charter and the organi-
zation of the United Nations are
designed to maintain peace aft
er a settlement of the second
world war has been arrived at.
Until there is a settlement OF
that war, the United Nations
does not come of age: 1t is
growing UP, it is at school, it is
learning and p%racticing, it is
testing its procedure, gaining ex-
perience. During this period,
which will not come to an end
until the great powers
have agreed on peace treaties,
the United Nations cannot deal
with disputes that involve the
balance of power in the world.
The balance of power has to be
