Dorothy Thompson. Now, however
the work stoppage may have turned
out by the time this column appears,
it would considerably clarity matters
in Washington and in the country
in general to learn Just what has
been sent and is being sent to coun-
tries under Soviet domination.
After the war, ,YugoSlavia received
immense amounts of relief and new
equipment through UNRRA with
Americans and Canadians footing
80 per cent of the bill. My impres.
sion is that things like medical sup
plies have been pouring into Tito
dom for years. Meanwhile. Yugo-
slavia supports an army, indoctri-
mated with an anti-American and
aggressive spirit of 100000 men-an
immense force for a country of
2o,o00006. The men Of this army
are needed to till the soil of ceun-
try that hitherto always has been
self-suffcient in food, with mar
gin for export.
Communist Yugoslavia is closely
allied with Czechoslovakia, which Is
a highly industrialized state; with
Poland, which has inherited the
German Ruhr of the East; with Ro-
mania, which has, while predomi-
nately agricultural, an advanced
heavy industry.
Every bit of European oil, great
reserves Of coal and other metals,
and an immense complex OF industry
are in the countries east Of the Iron
Curtain; and these countries, as a
whole, before the war produced great
surpluses of food for the rest OF
Europe. AS an illustration, 900 calo-
ries a day of the food eaten by
the population of Western Germany
came from the provinces now in
Soviet hands.
All these countries were prohibited
by the U. S. S. r. from participating
in ERP. Theoretically, however, they
are participating in a self-sufficient.
interstate planned economy, whose
efficiency is eulogized by Commu-
nists and fellow-travelers through
out the earth.
Just why, therefore, countries
which are not overpopulated. which
possess abundant resources of land,
raw materials and industries, which
are viciously hostile to us, whose
leader in Berlin is trying to drive
us from the German capital by
threatening its population with
planned tarvation-just why these
should be the recipients of American
aid is beyond my comprehension.

tolerable life. But free capitalism, as
represented by the Western Allies,
had not gotten around to the tre-
mendous task OF currency reform,
the principle of which the Russians
advocated but the reality of which
they opposed.
The Job now has been undertaken,
and with considerable optimism on
the part of the Germans themselves.
The basis has been laid for the
German worker to take new interest
in his work, for the German capital
ist to take heart in organizing new
enterprises and for the German
agricultural and industrial producer
to sell his goods in exchange for a
currency which will have real value.
Reds Fight Free Enterprise.
Aside from the most recent man
Hesitation of Russian dissatisfaction
with currency reform in the west
ern zones-the tight closing OF the
border into the Russian zone and
Berlin-the Russians are basically
hostile to anything which holsters
free economy in Germany, for the
heart of Communist totalitarianism
is in strangulation of free enter
prise. The Russians have practical
ly wiped out individual enterprise
in their occupation zone, making it
well-nigh impossible ever to restore
a free economy in Eastern Ger
many, at least by return of nation
allied properties to their true own
ers.
Whether German currency re-
form will prove the success in the
long run of which it is capable will
depend first of all on the willing
ness of the Germans, now that they
have a valuable currency, to work
and produce at high speed, both for
their own personal profit and for
the eradication of black markets
and scarcities.
If our hopes are realized, 1t
should be possible to reduce grad
ually the burden on American,
British and French taxpayers for
the maintenance of German life,
making the Germans more and
more self-supporting. In this effort
Germany's share in the Marshall
Plan will be of inestimable value.
If there Is any disturbing ele-
ment in this currency reform, 1T Is
that Russian intransigeance is max
ing more certain and more definite
the division Of Germany into two
parts-the free-enterprise West and
the Communist-enslaved East.
This is a gigantic tug-of war
which 1t will be the problem of
western policy-makers to resolve,
without shooting war If possible.
We are fortifying our part of Ger
many against incorporation in the
Communist Reich.

anQ 10 save was
sapped by the knowledge that the
currency was unsound and even
tually would be replaced. What
ever latent will there was among
Germans to launch into new in
dividual enterprises-on which a
free economy in the last analysis
is based-found no encouragement.
This lack of economic and busi-
ness leadership plus the failure to
accumulate enterprise capital re-
suited in an overwhelming stag
nation in the German business
world. Capital formation, on which
the capitalistic system thrives, was
at standstill. Money was worth
so little that the worker had no
incentive to produce and the en-
ployer had no incentive to aecumu-
late wealth for investment.
Black Market Developed.
Out of all this grew terrific
black market. The farmer would
barter his produce for tangible
goods, but he would not sell that
produce for money. The industrial
producer was content to build up
his inventories as much as he could,
marketing only such part Of his pro-
duction-frequently In the black

him going.
Out of the whole miserable pic
ture came nothing for Germanys
future economic progress and noth-
ing tor Germapy's revival as free
country, which is the
objective toward which the Western
Allies have been striving.
The situation was grist for the
Communist mill. Free capitalism, the

Three Husband-Wife
Assault Cases Heard

For more than an hour yesterday
Judge George d. Nelson's NUM-

husband-wife assault cases came up
in a row.
Charge No. l involved Robert G,
Heod. 90, whose wife, Gloria, testi-
fed he had beaten her with his
fists last month in a fight in their
home, 2647 Connecticut avenue NV
Hood denied he had knocked his
wife's head against fish bowl and
charged in turn that she threw pop
bottles at him.
Judge Nelson dismissed the
charge on the ground it seemed to
him mutual affair."" and lectured
the pair for "selfishly failing to
consider the welfare Of their two
children, aged 2 and 8 years, in their
disagreemefits. District Court JUS
tice Matthew Mcclure on Monday
dismissed divorce suits which the
Hoods filed against each other.
In the second case, Frank d. Ross,
az, colored, of the 1900 block of
Delaware avenue S.W., pleaded
guilty to slapping his wife, Gladys,
after denying he had tackled her
and hit her with his fists.
Also convicted was Thomas Hoy,
40, of the 700 block of Sixteenth
street Sc, who was accused of
beating his wife, Vivian. Both cases
were referred to the probation office
for pre-sentence investigation.

BY THE ACTING GOVERNOR
OF THE
VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES
"A PROCLAMATION
IF THE UNITED STATES

A0NO NA4NOd 4NuIO0S Lay
All through the years the peoples of the world have strug-
gled to guarantee fundamental human rights. They have
struggled to promote social progress and better standards of
life In a larger freedom. They have struggled to outlaw wars
which internationally have brought untold tragedy to man
kind. In order to help the peoples of the world achieve these
detectives, the United Nations was established on October
"a, 1915.
The people of the Virgin Islands are included in the scope
OF the United Nations principally through the Declaration
Regarding None-Self Governing Territories, contained in
Chapter XI of the Charter. In this declaration the members
OF the United Nations, with responsibilities for the admins
tration of territories whose peoples have not yet ATTAINED
a full measure of self-government, have accepted the sacred
trust OF promoting the political economic, and social advance
nent OF the peoples of the territories.
The recent brutal Staying Of Count Folke Bernadotte
United Nations Mediator in Palestine, emphasizes to peace
loving people throughout the world the necessity of and their
responsibility for stamping out national as well as interna-
tional outlaws, and of firm adherence to the principles Of
peace, freedom, and justice, for which the United Nations
stands.
In accordance with a resolution Of the General Assembly
OF the United Nations designating October "a, 1913, as United
Nat1onS Lay, the President of the United States of America
has called upon the officers of federal, state, and local GOV
ernments to observe October "a, 1913, by exercises exempli-
flying our recognition Of the achievements Of the United Ma
tons, our support of its aims, and our determination to strive
Tor the realization of those aims.
WHEREFORE, !, MORRIS F. DE CASTRO, Acting Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands Of the United States. do herebv
proclaim and designate Sunday, October "a. 1913. as Tinted
Nations Day in the Virgin Islands, and invite all the people
OF the Virgin Islands to join with the United Nations Day
Cltlzens Committees, already appointed, in observing United
Nations Day in a manner fitting and proper, in order that W.
may thus reafflrm our faith in the United Nations as an in
strument Tor international peace and progress; and do parti-
cularly call upon all persons and religious organizations to
observe with appropriate prayers, sermons, and religious BRO
grams.
DO FURTHER PROCLAIM that the week beginning
october "a, 1913, shall be devoted in the public schools to the
dissemination IF fOrroo+io - $50:

and activities.
