French Outspoken.
The French general staff was
particularly outspoken on the mat
ter and pointed out realistically
that under present conditions the
European Recovery Program can
amount to little more than a shot
in the arm for Western Europe,
unless the beneficiary countries
possess forces strong enough to
assure their peoples that they can
lie adequately defended against an
other aggression.
Unfortunately, the blueprint as
presented to the Chief Executive
with the support of most American
military planners had to be shelved.
There were strong objections Of a
diplomatic character.
The ever optimistic managers Of
our foreign affairs decried haste in
starting military preparations in
Western Europe. They were Of the
firm belief last spring that the
u. S. s. r. would not push matters
to the point of an actual shooting

provocative attitude by arming

said such action would kill any
chances of getting Russia to discuss
existing problems in diplomatic
fashion.
The arguments of the Presidents S
foreign policy advisers prevailed
over those of the military and Pres
ident Truman decided to leave the
whole matter in allegiance, particu-
larly since he was worried over
meeting increased opposition to the
Marshall Plan from those members
in the House who opposed spending
several billion dollars for support
of Europe.
Contrary to the hopes of the for
eign policy experts, the Kremlin ap-
parently had made up its mind to
push the United States out of Eu-
rope, by force, if necessary.
Face Critical Situation.
We are now faced with highly
critical situation in which diplomacy
may be replaced by military strategy.
But the Western European armies
still are sadly lacking in all types OF
modern war equipment.
1t is admitted in responsible
Washington quarters that even ii
we comply Immediately with an
official request from the staffs OF
the Western European nations, 1t
would take time before orders for
their rearmament could be put into
effect.
President Truman would have to
call another special session of Con-
gress to obtain necessary appropria-
tions. The suggestion made when
the Marshall Plan was before Con-
gress, namely that some loopholes
be left to provide military equip
ment to Europe, was rejected by the
administration on the sound ground
that such loopholes might be spotted
by Congress and the whole program
might be jeopardized.
Even If President Truman called
special session for the purpose
of providing Western Europe with
armaments, the factories could not
begin to fill orders before several
months time.
Meanwhile, the Reds might move
toward the Rhine, knowing well that
they will be faced by only token
forces, since the bulk of Western
Europe's vast manpower cannot be
organized into active defense forces
because of the lack of necessary
military eullipment.

to do what they do.
One is the military situation with
relation to Berlin. The American
and British forces within the city
occupy an untenable position, mean.
ing one they could not hold in case
of conflict, since the city itself is
wholly surrounded by territory oc-
cupied by Russian troops.
Russia would like a free hand in
Berlin, as in the rest of Eastern
Germany, during the occupation
Notwithstanding she doesn't hope
to remain permanently-in order to
remold the Berliners nearer to her
own concept of satisfactory neigh
bors. She regrets therefore the
agreement whereby the city was
placed under the control OF the four
Allies, France, Great Britain, the
United States and Russia.
Valid Agreement.
This was a valid international
agreement, Russia giving up any
claim to exclusive control in return
for certain concessions by the other
Allies, including the American
withdrawal from Saxony and Thu.
ringia.
Russia obviously considers 1t pos
sible, through persistent violation OF
the spirit of this agreement, to
harass her former allies to the point
where they will withdraw from Ber-
lin rather than risk a fight. She
is prepared apparently to accept
the condemnation of the rest OF the
world for this behavior, although
she NAV not have anticipated the

On the Other Hand
Some Factors That May Explain
Russian Policy Regarding Berlin

move by France, Great Britain and
the United States to formalize the
condemnation through action OF the
United Nations.
For the rest, it is conceivable that
Russia sees the European and world
picture differently from the way we
see it. She doesn't agree, perhaps,
that all Western Europe is grateful
to America for the aid now being
given through the Marshall Plan.
She is aware in any event that in
some countries the gratitude is not
unmixed with envy. Americans re-
turning from Europe report this
mixture of emotions. Some relate
experiences to indicate widespread
dislike on the part of our benefici-
aries for the hand that feeds them.
Russia isn't likely to minimize this
attitude.
Misery and Unrest.
There is real misery in Europe
and much unrest. In the key coun-
try of France, for example, there is
something akin to desperation, with
the population facing Realistically
the prospect of falling into the
hands either of De Gaulle or the
Communists. The European Recov-
cry Program may or may not enable
the French to make another choice
more in line with the programs
purpose.
The Russians have not lost the
notion that time is on their side.
They still expect Americas con-
tinually swelling boom to bring on
great bust one of these days. That,
they assume, will bring also the
end of our costly program of assist
ance to the rest of the world. What
Russia's rulers really know about
conditions in this country is hard
to determine. If they believe much
of what they tell their own people
they are victims of their own mis-
information. They rate Henry Wal
lace in their news broadcasts as a
real contender in our presidential
race.
Maybe they understand Europe
better. Maybe they estimate cor
rectly Europe's state Of mind and
count on frantic fear Of another
war to win them support against
the Western Powers, If that seems
the only way to avoid war.
These are some of the possible
factors on which the Russians may
rely. They may explain the Russian
conduct, but, even If they do they
don't make the problem Of our d!plo-
mats in Paris look any easier.

burn it. The damage they wrought
was limited to the tearing down of
q few metal gates, doors and grill

ton.
Just what is the charm Of Peip-

ton ever since I got here, and still

guess lies somewhere in the fact
that Peipng refuses to admit that

There is little or no hustle and
hustle in Peiping. The motor car
here has no need for motor Of 1853
horsepower or a speedometer that
registers up to ITO miles per hour
because the streets are dominated
by rickshaws and pedi-cabs, the
latter being nothing but rickshaws
equipped with a bicycle. Often
traffic is snarled by q camel train,
bringing coal from the nearby
western hills. The camels respect
nothing, not even q 5000 job from
Detroit.
Center Of Culture.
Peiping has always been the CEN
ter Of culture In China. From 1t
have come the best scholars, doctors,
painters, actors and musicians. Its
homes are old, and nearly every one
has q quiet courtyard where willow
trees shade the flowers, and goldfish
charm the Chinese with their grace
full motions in lovely pools.

nan and Secretary of Labor Tobin
are also due.
The President probably has been
of help to Senator Murray. The
unorthodox Truman campaigning
may be free-wheeling for the East
but they enjoy it here; certainly
it isn't hurting any.
However, all hands give Gov
Dewey a slight edge just on the
same general principles that pre-
vail throughout the rest of the coun-
try. But nobody is going to be
surprised If Montana goes Truman
and it is universally conceded that
Senator Murray will run ahead OF
his ticket.
Wallace Threat Fades.
A few months ago the Wallace
threat loomed and 10000 to 10000
votes were awarded him. Now it
has faded, due to the plain evil
dence of Communist domination of
the Wallace Party and growing
feeling against throwing away ones
vote-the aspect upon which the
Murray campaign bears down hard.
The Senator, however, makes no
personal attacks on anybody-he is
running on his record and talks
exclusively Of it.
The old isolationist warrior, Bur-
ton K. Wheeler, is at his summer
home in Glacier Park. 1t is reported
that he will make a radio broad
cast for his old Senate colleague,
Harry Truman, who always loved
and admired Mr.. Wheeler.
Mr.. Wheeler has no cause to love
Senator Murray, who campaigned
against him on the war issue. Yet
If he supports President Truman,
he must accept Senator Murray,
whose success is vital to Truman
hopes of carrying the State. There
is no public indication that Mr.,
Wheeler has taken hand in State
affairs; some people suggest it would

The Costa Rican government has

forces, reliable sources said tonight.
What the response would be no
one could say. Nicaraguan troops
have been fighting on the govern

although an order for their return

Rebel troops. led by Jose Figueres,
slipped through government lines
this morning and dynamited power
plant installations at Brazil on the
Pacific Coast. They also began a
surprise attack against government
troops at Quepos north of Domini-
cal which the government has been
trying to hold since last week.
To the south Figueres soldiers
moved down the side of Cerro

tago and apparently were ready to
storm that ancient capital of Costa
