Is ERP Nations Agree
u. 5. Short--Term Aid
Prevented Collapse
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

PARIS, Mar. 17.-Short-term
aid from the United States pre-
vented serious collapse in Eu-
rope, representatives of the 16
Marshall Plan nations said to-
day.
The interim aid, they said in an
official report, enabled stricken
countries to pull through. The re-
port added: This aid was designed
with limited objeetives and could
not modify the situation as a
whole"
One high American official here
named France, Austria and italy as
nations rescued by more than $780,
600, 900 spent in interim aid.
Three Countries Rescued.
He added that If these three
countries had gone under there
would have been. no reason to spend
the $500, ,0O0, 900 now planned as
the first years expense in saving the
economic lives Of 0,O00, 600 Euro
peans under the Marshall Plan.
The report said recent develop
ments confirmed forecasts of both
the American Government and the
Committee Of European Economic
Cooperation (CEEC) and demon
strated that without external aid
the economic situation OF the Euro
pean continent would continue to
deteriorate.
The report, approved at yester-
days final session of the Big 49,"
was prepared by Claude Bouchinet-
Serreules. He is an official of the
French Foreign Ministry and secre-
tary general Of the CEEC.
The report said European coun-
tries have been able to help one
another 'in certain directions but in
others cooperative progress is
closely linked with the availability

distribution was delayed until

(Here | would like to change
places with words in an oft-repeat-
ed remark and say that the Negro
is the southern white mans best
friend. l say also that the Negro
is the nations best friend. A ira.
ditional and historical fact which
today stands firm and unshaka-
BILE. | say further that given the
free and unrestricted right to
vote, and every other right of an
American citizen, the Negro in
Miss, in the south and in the ma
ton would not become a threat
to one single valuable American
institution, but there would be
opened up Immediately a new and
more hopeful moral, spiritual and
cultural outlook for the entire ma
ton"
Concern is being expressed at
a new migration, new movement
of Negroes to the northern cities
Some see it as the affect of the
mechanization Of southern agri-
culture, particularly cotton and
sugar cane. The cause is not
here. The future effects of farm
mechanization is too far away yet
to be seen and understood by or
binary people. But terribly close
is the desire for equal protection
of the law, freedom from fear and
the right to vote.
L believe tn Ngro should STAY
in tn south. 1t is the land of his
American nativity. In many re-
spects it is a vast and relatively
undeveloped section, to the de-
velopments of which the Negro
has much to contribute. 1t is a
land where the Negro can not
only do himself the greatest good,
but where he can make his great
est contribution to the wealth of
the nation.
Il want you to know that de-
spite the 1916 elections, there are
thousands of fine white people in
Mississippi and in the south. who.
though long silent, are now awak-
ening to the need of changing ex-
listing conditions"

writing about was first discover

When Mr.. Schuyler arrived at
the conclusion that despite the

we refuse to hazard even a guess.
However,, in 1916, at a luncheon
in New York City as the guest of

Schuyler, and later in Chicago in
a conference with the top editorial

all southern white people are NOT
