Britain Halls Proposal
To Increase u. S. Imports

LONDON. May 8 tPy.-A Foreign
Offlce spokesman said today Britain
welcomed the proposal by Under
secretary of State Dean Acheson
that the United States increase i'm
ports to bolster international trade.
He said the Underseeretary's analy-
sis of the worlds economic prob
lens was both far sighted and
wise"
While the Foregn Once spokes-
man gave blanket approval to Mr..
Acheson's recommendation, the in
fuential Times OF London was more
cautious. The newspaper said the
speech's realistic analysis and per-
suasive urgency" might raise Eu-
ropean hopes for "a wise outcome
OF the debate over Americas future
world role" But 1t added that the
Undersecretary's proposal that the
reconstruction of Germany and
Japan should be pushed ahead was
controversial one.
The Times said Mr.. Acheson's
policy for Japan and Germany re-
quired qualifications" And 1t ad-
vsed caution on the proposal that
emergency American aid be con-
centrated with free peoples.
In a leading editorial the Times
said the Speech's main interest "lies
deeper than its full and frank rec
ogni.ion that America has both an
obligation and an interest to use
her unparalleled productive power
to help the world back to pros
perity."
What is new the editorial said,
"is Mr.. Achesons view of the
American interest as extending over
a much longer term than that for
which most American opinion has so
far been ready to recognize
Recalling Mr. Acheson's statement
that world peace and prosperity will
come only when countries get on
their feet" the Times declared,

Charles Hankish Comes Home
from Syria in % Hours of
Flying Time
Trip Over by Boat Took Is
Days; u. S. Crime, Lynch
ings Overplayed

Home from his first visit to his
native land in AZ years, Charles
Hankish, Bluffton confectioner, was
enthusiastic about the advantages of
air travel which brought him to
America from Syria in e hours of
flying time in contrast to trip of
Is days by boat in going there last
fall.
The Bluffton businessman returned
home by air after finding it impos-
sible to secure passage by ship, and
accommodations were at such a
premium that it took two months
for him to obtain reservations.
Accommodation easily may be
obtained to get to Europe, Hankish
said, but transportation companies
refuse to sell round-trip tickets, for
they can't guarantee when return
to this country may be possible.
In Syria, Hankish visited with a
brother and three nephews in his
home town of Zahle, a city of $4,000
about 40 miles from Beirut. Hank
ish and three cousins from Toledo
made the trip there by ship four
months ago. One cousin, George
ABIDE, of Toledo, returned with him,
and the other two will come later.
The Syrian idea of the United
States is badly distorted by lurid
newspaper accounts of strikes, lynch
ings and crime, Hankish said on
his return. Sensational news about
the more unfavorable aspects of our
society are publicized widely over
seas, and Hankish's relatives were
surprised when he told them those
occurrences were the exception rath-
er than the rule.
While overseas the Bluffton man
visited Jerusalem, Damascus, Baal.
bek, Nazareth and Bethlehem.
Syria, formerly under French rule
now is Independent, altho everyone
expects that control will pass on tt
England, he said.
The Rluffton mars return trip b.
air was in two stages. He and hi
cousin left Zahle on Christmas Day
to go to Beirut. From there the!
left on the next day in small six
passenger plane for Cairo, Egypt.
In Cairo they waited until Tues
day of last week, when they took of
at a. m. in a luxuriously fur
nished 40-passenger plane with com
Portable seats. On the homeward
bound trip, the plane stopped a
Athens, Rome, Geneva, Switzerland
and Paris.
From Paris the giant plane span
ned the Atlantic in 13 hours, flyint
above the clouds, by way of New
foundland and Labrador. The plan,
landed at Boston last Wednesday
night when a landing scheduled a
New York City was cancelled be
cause of a snowstorm at that place
He and his cousin then came ol
home by train, Hankish arriving il
Bluffton last Friday.
