This Changing World u

Approved by American Military Men

Foverstepped its present lines we
would consider It. a direct challenge
and act accordingly.
The public utterances of De
Gaulle are known here to be in
dorsed by the. mass of the French
people and by the governments of
the other threatened countries.
Moreover, the speech Of De Gaulle
approving incorporation of West
ern Germany into the Marshall
Plan group shows the grave concern
lof Europe toward the dramatic
Forthcoming events in italy and
Germany. It is the first time in
many years that a leading European
Frencrman has stated b1untly that
the German people must, In the
face Of the present grave dangers,
be taken into the fold Of the other
democratic nations.
There seems to be little disagree
ment in Western Europe with De
Gaulle's views.
Only Chance to Avoid Clash.
American political and military
strategists recognize their only
chance to avoid a catastrophe clash
lies In quick and effective rearma-
ment. Russia needs three more
years before she is ready to lay
down her terms to the United States
and tell us: Take them or else i. . ]"
In the meantime she will use her
present means to tighten the moose
around our necks by coercing one
country after another into her fold,
Unless we can give these countries
the means to resist physically the
Red encroachments, no amount Of
assistance in the shape Of food and
raw materials can save them-or us.
It Is agreed in official quarters in
Washington that had we not al
located large slice of economic
assistance to Greece" for arms and
ammunition and had we followed
the original idea of spending most
OF the $3.50, 900 900 on economic i'm
provements, Greece would already
have been behind the iron curtain.
The morale of the Greek army has
not fallen as low as may have been
expected merely because everybody
there is convinced that II 1t came
to a real showdown with the satel-
lites in the north, America would
intervene with military force.
The same thing applies now, on a
much larger scale, to Western
Europe from italy to the British
Isles and to China. The concern
for food, clothing and fuel from the
United States is less important than
American tanks, airplanes and
eventually an American force.
Unless these are forthcoming-or
at least unless we show willingness
to proceed with q strong rearma-
ment plan-Western Europe and
China will fall and We shall have
to face the gigantic European
Asiatic empire alone few years
hence.

porations stock-the 81 per cent
formerly held by enemy aliens.
One of the first decisions the
new directors are expected to make
Is that there is no reason at this
time for the two corporations to
increase the price Of their product,
rayon yarns. That ought to be news.
The seven directors now resign
ing think there should be an in
crease in prices. They applied TO
the alien property custodian in
January for approval Of a proposed
price increase. Approval was re-
fused. The designations followed.
Among those resigning are men who
are officers Of the Bankers Trust
Co., First National Bank, Central
Hanover Bank. Lehman Bros. and
Sullivan G Cromwell.
Reason for Refusal.
One reason the custodian refused
to okay a price increase-which
would have been the third for the
two corporations since oPA was
abolished-is that he thinks prices
are now plenty high, for the good
Of the corporations and the coun-
try. Some OF the experts In his
once have figured out that q
womans slip which now. sells for
$2.95 could be sold for 90 cents If
the standard profit n1ark-ups OF
1e39-40 were still in vogue all along
the line from the raw materials to
the finished goods. The custodian,
Assistant Attorney General David
L. Bazelon, said nothing about the
price Of slips in his letter to the
president Of the corporations. He
did say certain things like the fol-
lowing, however:
with the present price level both
companies earned the largest profits
in their histories in 1947. 80 During
the five prewar years 1937-41, North
American earned net profits averag-
ing $1,740,000 annually. During the
most recent five years 1943-47, the
corporation earned annual net prof
its averaging 81 ,223, 900. During the
most recent two years, 1946-47. the
corporation earned yearly net prof
It's averaging $4,000 Last year
the net profit was $4,012,0O0. II
prices are not raised, management
estimates on the basis of present
costs and production patterns, a
net profit for 1948 of $3,300,000 or
almost double the prewar average.
These earnings would represent 1871
per cent of net worth and 13 per
cent of sales, after taxes"
Propaganda Campaign.
The Government, as majority
stockholder, ought to be satisfied
with that, in the opinion Of Gus
todian Bazelon. In view OF the
Governments preaching concerning
the causes of imitation, the Govern
ment, he thinks, is practically COM
pelled to be satisfied with an 18 per
cent profit. Nevertheless a propa-
ganda campaign has been turned
loose on him throughout trade
channels, charging him with social

that the Marshall Plan countries"
are willing to make the supreme
sacrifice once more and defend
themselves against the Red on
slaught, provided the United States
is behind them. They stressed the
importance Of America again be-
coming the arsenal of democracy
and urged that in the sums to be
appropriated for their economic
reconstruction suff1cient amounts
should be earmarked for rearma-
ment.
They pointed out that in the case
of Greece and Turkey Congress did
not hesitate to set aside sums to
provide the two Eastern Mediter-
ranean countries with the where
withal to resist Russian aggression.
They also pointed out that the
Truman doctrine, which at present
covers only Turkey, Greece and
Italy, should be extended to all the
countries which want desperately to
remain outside the iron curtain.
u. 9. Military Approves.
The American military men who
listened to these arguments gave
them their unqualified approval.
The State Department Is said to
have understood the problem but
still hesitated to indorse the request
openly lest 1t might jeopardize the
European Recovery Program In
Congress.
Top ranking officials Of that de-
partment fear angry outbursts by
some Congressman who would re-
gard military assistance as a
further step toward q third world
war.

officials responsible for our security
realize that nothing but showing
of force can stop the present Rus
