or prepare a tasty salad.
/ There are days when youngsters
just simply are bored with their
usual pursuits and then they tend to
wander around the house without
anything to do. Perhaps it's too
stormy to play outside or maybe
all their friends are on vacation.
This is the psychological moment
to suggest they try their hand at
being an amateur chef.
Give them few pointers before
hand if they need it so food will not
be wasted, and help only if it's re-
queSted once they start their cul-
mary adventure so you won't spoil
it by being the extra cook in the
broth" Have it understood, too, that
the kitchen is to be cleaned after
they finish.
I'VE OFTEN SAID that anyone
who can read, can cook. But here
are simple recipes that involve no
complicated procedures. Let the
children try these recipes so .espe-
cially designed for them that they
will really have wonderful adven-
ture on their day in the kitchen.

Loyalty Program Hit
By Rogge as Measure
For Thought Control

The Presidents loyalty program Is
a "thought-control" measure which
tends to abridge the civil liberties of
the people and discourages intelli-
gent, independent thinking people
from taking jobs with the Govern
ment, O. John Rogge, former chief
Of the Justice Departments Criminal
Division, declared last night.
The speaker criticized the loyalty
probe during a public forum, under
auspices Of the National Lawyers
Guild in the National Press Building
auditorium. Others joining him In
his views were Attorney Arthur Gar
field Hays, a champion Of civil liber-
ties; Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel Of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie, and Robert w. Kenny, guild
president and former attorney gen.
eral of California, who presided.
Stressing that the program, which
prescribes loyalty tests for Federal
workers, is unfair and undeIno-
cratic" Mr.. Rogge contended that,
with the probe, the political steril-
isation of Government employees is
complete"
"The injustice Of the loyalty order
Is not only that 1t deprives almost
2,O00, 900 American citizens Of the
freedom to participate without fear
In political activity: not only that
1t makes our Government workers
second -class citizens" he declared.
More than that. it deprives our
country of the type Of intelligent
civil servant that We so urgently
require"
Mr.. Hays declared the Nation has
survived its crises without "repres-
sive laws" Although pointing out
that the tests so far have disclosed
negligible evidence of disloyalty in
the Federal ranks, he said he would
rather have q few disloyal persons
In Government than build up a
Gestapo."
Mr.. Marshall said the whole
principle behind the loyalty order is
bad, and it should be attacked from
that point"

Johannes Steel Analyses SocaIed European Recovery Plan

be restored on self-sustaining basis at the
earliest possible moment. This is diametri-
cally opposed to the operating reality of the
Marshall plan which, in Europe, will bring
about the perpetuation of an economic status
quo ante which has lost all its validity.
The Marshall plan is the foreign policy of
the United States with which America is
pitting it's economic might against the funda-
mental aspirations of the peoples of Europe.
1t is the motivating force of the monopoly
system which holds American foreign policy
in its grip, and this is what the liberals do not
wish to face.
The presence of those liberals in American
political life is corroding social disease. A
disease cannot be argued against 1t must
take its course while prophylactics are used
to prevent the infection of others. The out
standing symptom of this disease is the in
ability of these liberals to take the step from
political thought to political action. They are
the personification of political impotence ac-
companied by bravadO. Reaction in this coun-
try has grown so strong that it has atrophied
their understanding of the true nature of the
Marshall plan as an agency to put a stop to
a process which began hundred years ago.
For. otherwise, instead of becoming partners
and accomplices in this crime against human
ty, they would fight the Marshall plan on the
principle of equality of nations and simple
justice.
Although they consider themselves liberals,
they are psychologically in favor of their own
version of Henry Luce's conception of the i'm
perialist American Century, which they iden-
tify with democracy. They so grateful
for being permitted to play a role of pseudo
leadership that they play it to the death, no
matter where it leads. They are enamored of
themselves as American bourgeois. Secure in
their niche, they seem to feel that right or
wrong, it is our monopoly.

rebuild them in the traditional capitalist free
enterprise manner, in conjunction with popu-
lar forces which would press for gradual social
ization. Under this concept the peoples of
Europe would have retained the right to eco
nomic Standardization Such plan would
have been based upon broad coalition of all
progressive forces in those nations In this
monopoly capitalism today interposes its plan
of managed economies of scarcity, with its
propaganda motive of an anti-communist cru
SADIE. with an economy of abundance, there
is no need for agitation against communism
The naive reasoning of the liberals" who
stabbed Henry Wallace in the back is that the
original concept of the Marshall plan is not
being adhered to. This is political theorizing
in vacuum. 1t does not take into account
the real forces manipulating American foreign
policy; it does not take into account the per-
sonnet in charge of American foreign policy.
Given the constellation of American political
forces, it is stupid to assume that the original
plan of the European Committee at Paris
would have been put into practice.
The Marshall plan is one in the defense of
American security, which is another way of
describing American strategic detectives in
Europe and Asia In the minds of the monop-
olists who control American foreign policy,
American strategic detectives in Europe are
identical with the establishment of an Amer
lean super-cartel control over Europe.
The alternative to the Marshall plan sug-
gested by Henry Wallace in his speech at Mil
waukee is the ONLY manner in which that
plan can be transformed into one for European
reconstruction. In it's present form it is
handout which will succeed in propping up re-
dictionary and fascist governments throughout
Europe Wallace called for a proposal from
the United States to the United Nations to

that their industries and agriculture might

There are two alternatives which the mon
opolists can consider: an international and un-
limited WPA for Europe, or military interven-
ton But since the monopolists want a re-
stricted economy they will not permit an in
ternational WPA. The logical result of their
policies will therefore necessarily be military
intervention. This is already taking place in
what may be described a creeping military
intervention of the type now going in
Greece. An American military base with all
it's implications has quietly been established
under the guise OF routine maneuvers, and i'm
portant military and naval contingents are
gradually being built up.
The Marshall plan will insure the payment
of interest and perhaps even capital on old
American loans made by private bankers in
the period between the two wars as has al
ready begun, for example, in the case of Italy.
This indicates the extent to which Europe is
to become an American economic and financial
colony.
The testimony given before the senate COM
mittee envisages a permanent control of Euro
pean industrial capacity limited along lines
laid down by American monopoly There is
here the construction of a super-super-cartel
through government financial channels paid
for by the public rather than by private CAPT

plcaton in Europe of those policies which
monopoly has pursued in America: the estab-
Hshment of economies of scarcity rather than
of abundance.
This is why the Marshall plan must base
itself on the Truman Doctrine and the Tru-
man Doctrine must base itself on the support
of reactionary regimes like Schuman-De Gaulle
in France, De Gasperi in Italy and the mon
archy in Greece. Economies of scarcity, re-
stricted by monopoly, can be based only on
narrow reactionary leadership. And this is
the point on which the politically unskiled
liberal thinkers in this country have gone
completely off the rails and are now heading
at full speed into their own intellectual crack
up and moral disintegration
The liberals who believe that the Marshall
plan is a good thing because it will lead to
the economic reconstruction of Europe, have
not understood the basic element in European
political history today. Exactly one hundred
years after the start of the first popular move
ment for economic and social liberties the
United States is casting its capitalist might
against the forward march of the people which
began in Palermo a day in 1848 and swept
over the European continent leaving behind a
social order that was never to be permanently
resurrected. Despite a temporary defeat on
the barbados, 1848 marked the opening of a
new social era. For the first time in history
the working class had emerged as a political
force with which statesmen had to reckon.
Today, one hundred years later the social
forces which then came to the fore to play
the final struggle for the complete control of
their part in the industrial revolution arc in
the political destinies of their countries. Roose
welt understood this instinctively Henry
Wallace understands it. Roosevelt's plan for
Europe had therefore been the distribution of
assistance to Europe permitting it's peoples,
within the framework of their national econo-
miles, to reconstruct those economies and to

WHO SUFFER FROM
FEAR ARE NOT FREE

At it's first session (January to
June, 1947) the present congress
clearly demonstrated that it's foremost
objective was the making of America
and the rest of the world safe for
capitalism. 1t enacted no law which
did not have the approval of Big Bust
ness. The Taft-Hartley act, drafted
by attorneys of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, struck with
blind savagery at the rights of Labor.
! It's purpose was the weakening of or
/ ganized labor to the extent that it
would be powerless to serve the needs
of its membership. The tax bills it
passed, and which were killed by
presidential vetoes, were chiefly in
tended to benefit the wealthy. The
housing program was killed and the
was almost destroyed. It's commit
tees, in both house and senate, have
searched the garbage dumps for muck |
with which to smear fine, clean Amer
leans whose ideas they did not like.
Although because of inflated prices,
of Americans cannot afford
to eat bacon, butter, eggs and many
other staple foods, all appeals for
their relief were coldly ignored Ig-
nored also, was the nations need for
better education, health and social Sc
curity legislation.
At it's first session, this was the t
worst lobby-ridden congress the ma
ton ever had. The sugar lobby, the l
wool lobby, the real estate lobby, the |
power lobby, "Neanderthal Men, lurch- t
ng forward on hairy feet, demanded c
avors, and got them. These men and t

America entered 1948 a frightened
country. The richest and most pow
erful nation on earth finds neither
happiness nor security in its wealth
and strength. The people who cur
rently monopolize the know-how OF
atomic warfare and who are expert
encing the greatest peace-time boom
in history are detected, fearful and
frustrated. Less than three years
after the most destructive war of all
time they are brooding about the i'm
minence of the next war. In the
midst of unparalleled production and
employment they are resigning them
selves to the fear of an economic
crash Right now we have just
about everything money can buy, but
America is afraid. With all our
strength and resources, we have no
goal. With all our money and might
we have no moral purpose. - THE
PROGRESSIVE.
With a congress controlled by STUB
born, willful men,, some of whom are
still isolationist and, all of whom,
are thoroughly reactionary and hell
bent upon a return to Harding Cool
idge-Hoover "normalcy", with its
boom and bust, it is no wonder that
people are in state of fear. !
Control of this congress with it's pure
blind leadership was made possible by
a majority of those who took time to |
go to the polls in 1916. CA small mi !
nority of those entitled to vote) They
were persuaded that they'd "had |
enough" of something or other and |
should have a change. Well, they got
it and, with bang.
Today Harry Truman, remembering
what happened to Woodrow Wilson
who had to deal with a Republican
congress, somewhat like the present
me, after World War I, has practical
y surrendered control of our foreign
affairs to Vandenberg, Austin and
Dulles, all old line Republicans AS
consequence, efforts to reach a
peaceful settlement of issues growing
,ut of World War II, are snarled up
o the extent that we have warships
md marines in the Eastern Mediter-
anean, and are setting up air bases in
North Africa. At whom are these
gestures aimed? Why at !
me of our powerful allies in the re-
ent war, Russia, of course.
For the next hundred years or more,
We and our descendants will be pay +
ng the costs of World War III. An ;

in this land of potential plenty should
