This Changing World
Battle Waged in Washington and Paris
Over Reich Industrial Rehabilitation

comes an important factor in Euro
pean politics, when we know that
eventually it will be used as a
weapon against the Western ma
tions.
Gen. de Gaulle points out that
the Axis used German industry
before the outbreak of World
War II to obtain a predominant
position in the Balkans and other
countries of Europe which eventu-
ally fell under the Nazi heel. He
further points out that Hitler would
have met more opposition In the
countries which he eventually en-
slaved II the ground had not been
prepared by exports from Ger
many's government-controlled In
dustry.
Gen. de Gaulle is asking us
whether we want to see repetition
Of that policy. Moreover, he says
that the plan for the organization
Of a powerful and permanent West
ern bloc to oppose the drive from
the East must be built around
Frances economic, political and
military power.
Seeks safest Solution"
In order to achieve this he believes
that eventually there must be some
sort of economic tntegration of
Western Germany with France. The
German leaders are not enthusiastic
about this plan, because OF their
utter dislike for the French. But,
says Gen. de Gaulle, the bulk of
Germans in Bavaria, Wurttemberg,
the Palatinate and Baden would
welcome such a move in preference
to their remaining either as wards
of the Western Powers or being
forced into the Soviet sphere OF
influence.
Gen. de Gaulle declares that while
the Prussians and ~Saxons would
welcome union with the U. s. S. r.
because the Junkers hope to restore
Germany's past military glory
through association with Moscow,
the Western Germans are more
peace minded and would welcome
close association with France.
This is predicated, however, on
precautions against restoring the
German industrialists to their for
mer influence. An orderly and
prosperous France, which Gen. de
Gaulle is convinced can be organized
under his leadership. eventually will
attract the Western Germans to
that country and permit q consoli-
dation leading eventually to a West
ern European union extending well
beyond the Rhine.
This, In his opinion. is the safest
solution to the dangers from the
East, but will not be possible If
America starts rehabilitating Ger
many industrially.

How slow an exposure you can

your own steadiness, the weight OF
your camera and the size enlarge

is risky to use shutter speeds slower
than 400 second with very light
cameras. 1880 to 1850 second is
about the slowest you should try

There was, in those days, said
Mr.. Truman, a certain female jour-
nalist who had been unable to get

Mr.. Truman told it, and in the next
days mail received letter from
Mr.. Daniel j. Kelly Jr., of South

Wrote Mr.. Kelly:

form to the facts. and you might
mention this to President Truman
the next time the story is brought
up.
John Quincy Adams was an ar
dent and accomplished swimmer
and he enjoyed daily plunge into
the Potomac even while President.
He was also an ardent diarist, and
his diary contains many a mention
of his dips in the river.
Anne Royal was Adams Wash

a common scold.' Her first con-
tact with Adams was in 1924 when
she called at the White House to de-
mand a pension as a Revolutionary
war widow. Adams mentioned her
in very uncomplimentary manner
in his diary.
According to Adams diary

although Adams chronicled all
unusual incidents while swimming,
and had referred 10 Mrs. Royal in
his diary, he makes no mention OF
the supposed meeting of this woman
while swimming. So
While Adams lived in the White
House, Mrs. Royal was a resident
Of Washington, but travelled about

an author at that time, but not as a
newspaper woman. Her journalistic

Adams retired as President. In 1881

Mrs. Royal also mentioned

Coming away from debate on

peared at points, and ringing with
altruism at others, had offered a
political potion, only slightly fla

parture affects political futures?
Pondering this, l came upon a
