|Bromtield Talks
|On European Aid
At club Dinner
By Frances Lide

Contending that the European
Recovery Program should be on the
sole basis of economic relief, Louis
Bromfield vigorously opposed con-
troll of its administration through
the State Department in an address
last night.
The novelist, who came from
his home in Ohio to address a
dinner meeting sponsored by the
Legislation Committee of the Dis
trict Business and Professional
Women's Club, spoke before a ca
pacity audience in Barker Hall at
the YWCA.
Mr.. Bromfield expressed the
opinion that the aid to Europe pro-
gram should have a director and a
commission Of experts, including
engineers, businessmen and bankers,
If it is not to prove futile" He also
urged that whatever agency is set
up treat its appropriations as
private capital and not as govern
ment funds. Emphasizing that pro-
duction should be the goal, he de-
clared that help should be given to
the agency 'that will manufacture
something" rather than the or
ganization that is beset with prob
lens which make 1t impossible to
produce.
At the outset, the speaker said he
wanted 1t clearly understood that
he felt that this country has an
obligation to feed other parts OF the
world and that he was in no sense
opposed to European relief.
In his address, however, he
pointed to numerous difficulties in
connection with the recovery plan
and warned that there is mo point"
in program that undermines,
or even threatens, this nation.
"The world must rebuild itself
about U.S." he asserted, ''and I
think before long you will see a
united Europe with an economy
tied to our economy"
The speaker cautioned that the
real wealth" Of this country is not
money but such natural resources
as iron ore, agricultural lands, the
"know-how" to increase production
and the health and working capacity
of its people. When its natural re-
sources are gone, it will sink to the
level of a 10th grade nation he
added.
He also urged that there be a
careful examination of the motives
of those supporting "all-out" aid
to Europe, pointing out that Ger
tain groups in America would de-
rive personal profits through such
a program.
At several points in his address,
Mr.. Bromfield stressed his opinion
that the State Department does not
have the ability to. administer the
recovery program on an efficient
basis. He also expressed resent
ment" over what he charged was a
propaganda campaign emanating
from washington to high pressure"
the country into thinking that war
with Russia is imminent.
He maintained that Russia is in
no position to risk war now and pre-
dicted that France will not be
taken over by a Communist govern
ment in our time"
He hailed the French devaluation
of the franc as one of the most en-
couraging developments on the Eur
opean scene and added that Ernest
Bevin's speech on the union of
Europe was another hopeful sign.
Guests at the dinner included Miss
Elaine Burton, vice president of the
British Federation of Business and
Professional Women.
The speaker was introduced by
Miss julie Quilter, legislative chair
man of the club. The president, Dr..
Irma Gene Nevins, presided.
