Revolution In Policy
(By Barnet NOVer)

THE PLAN proposed by Ernest Bevin for what, in his historic House of Commons address, he described the consolidation of western Europe, represents than revolution in British foreign policy alone.
 It is definitely that But also, in very real sense, constitutes revolution in American foreign policy also
 What is of greatest immediate significance, however, is that the Bevin plan brings the threatened showdown between Russia and the west.
 No one has brought this out more clearly than Win ston Churchill, who warmly welcomed the Bevn pro- ing is, in accord with the other western democra cies bring matters to head with the Soviet govern ment and to arrive at lasting settlement"
 For years Great Britain and the United States have sought desperately to avoid such showdown which is why until now they have deprecated talk about west ernt bloc.
 In now forgotten but extremely significant speech he made in London on Nov 25 1943 Field Marshal Jan C. Smuts prime minister of the Union of South Africa first suggested the formation of just such grouping of western European nations that Bevin urges
 Shuts was moved by the realization that as between the two great world titans Russia and the United States Great Britain had been thrust into position which she could only better by becoming the center of what in another connection, Leon Blum has called third force"
 "The idea has repeatedly floated before my mind" ," Smus told his listeners whether Great Britain should not strengthen her European positon-apart from her position the center of this great commonwealth outside Europe by working closely together with those small demOCracieS in western Europe which of of thinking which agree entirely with in their outlook and their way of life and in all their ideals and which, in many ways of the political and spiritual substance ourselves.

EUROPEAN CHECK-UP

7 to take five-Week trip to Europe to see if what you've heard is true? MT. Ernest T. Weir, chair man of the National Steel Corpo- ration of Pittsburgh, did just that. He made informal contacts with people of all sorts. Then he had opportunity to interview outstand- ing men of finance and industry in each country.
 Because of MT. Weir's national ly recognized leadership, and be- cause l consider him far-seeing and capable observer, I want to give you some of his conclusions. In England, where he saw people dressed well enough, restaurants and hotels busy, and a great thea ter season: There is absolute lack of confidence in the labor-social- ist government. .. The men in charge, mainly labor leaders and impractical thinkers, are consid- cred incompetent as individuals and inefficient as a group"
 People Must Work
 English businessmen he inter- viewed think England must work out her own salvation. They said more U. S. dollars poured into England would be harmful. Our S4 billion loan to them has been wasted, they told him, and has kept England from facing prob lems squarely. "England's great est need is for better government. more hard work and greater pro- duction." England needs more coal, he found, yet 60 million tons will be mined this year.
 France, excepting war-torn areas, was in about the same physical shape as England. "The most serious condition in France is the black market in money" he added. The black market offers twice as many francs for a dollar as the government allows official ly. "The great problems of France are bad government, encourage ment of the people to believe they can live without working, and the consequent failure of the people generally to produce"
 Follow-up The Money!
 MT. Weir thinks the German people must have full liberty in the reconstruction of their coun- try. He branded the Morgenthau plan, as applied in Germany, lone of the great crimes of history" America shoull stop loaning or giving money without proper planning and full investigation of the use of the money. At the same time, he believes Germany is a safe place to put funds for recon struction, with proper plans.
 The individualism of the people in England, France, and the United States makes communism an unreal danger. He believes the people in these countries will never, for long, permit "the iron heel on their necks." It is his be- lief that program financing for eign nations so they will not go communistic is without justifica- tion. People who will stand for Communism will 20 in that direc-
