Czechs Were Example
But it can be said now that all
the nations which are to receive
American billions have informed our
top officials of the urgent need OF
including military supplies, partic-
ularly tanks and planes, in the
sums for economic reconstruction.
They say with justice that the ills
which Europe is suffering from to-

political conditions created by the
presence of vast and well-equipped
Red and satellite forces at or near
their borders. Czechoslovakia is an
example. Her economy was i'm
proving. There had been no real
hardship in that country in the last
1S months. Politically, the native
Communists and the other parties
were getting along well and were
all working for the good of the
people. Czechoslovakia' trade with
the west and particularly with the
United States was progressing sat-
isfactorily. At the same time, the
government was as subservient as

the final debates for the BERP Obi
partisan European Relief Program
It's p7otagonists want it voted as
it was reported out by the Foreign
Relations Committee. It's oppo-
nents want it cut billion or so.
But all this is beside the point. The
BERP will be voted because we
raised the hopes of the future re-
cipients since last July to such a
point that it would give the Com
munists a splendid opportunity for
propaganda if we decided at the
last minute to repudiate our Gov
ernment's promises.

priated moneys can be used by the
Western nations to rearm them
selves and (2) Congress decides to
appropriate substantial sums for
the rebuilding of the American mil
itary, and particularly the air forces
which are now far below par. 1t is
true that we have a numerically
stronger force today than we had
in 1899. But 1t is equally true that
we have assumed greater obliga-
tions than any nation in history,

| Russia actually Is waging a relent-

United States while keeping formal
diplomatic relations with this coun-

This is the plain truth which
causes sleepless nights and high
blood pressure for all our top-rank-
ing military, naval and air officers
who have the final responsibility for
the country's national defense.
The war is in it's initial stages.
The Soviet government, backed by
strong military forces, is quickly sur

whelming odds while we stand by
and discuss the merits and dement's
of the Kuomintang government just
as the Byzantines were discussing
the vital question of the sex of the
angels when the Turks were under
the walls of Constantinople.
The move to close in strategically
on the United States has been
speeded up by the Moscow rulers,
apparently because they realize that
they can expect no more than verbal
opposition. The Russians know that
in an election year in America, the]
most they probably will have to
contend with is talk.
knowing that no opposition rea-
sonably can be expected from the
one power which is capable of stop

Finland, and is expected in the near
future to spread it's tentacles to italy,
Greece and probably to the North
Atlantic by coercing the govern
ments of Sweden, Norway and Den

ence.

Alarmed at these developments,
whose timing has been speeded up
beyond the calculations of the west
ern governments, France, Britain,
Holland and Belgium are attempt
ing to strengthen at least their
fighter defense force. This en-
deavor is being handicapped by the
fact that reconversion of their war
plane factories was so thorough thai
it will take months to produce
fighter planes in quantity.
President Truman, his cabinet and
most of the members of Congress
are fully aware of the dangerous
situation in which we may find
ourselves before the end of the year.
They realize that while Russia is
not prepared to tackle physically the

the atomic bomb which they do not

all-out attack against this country
are progressing rapidly.

No Salesnanshp Needed to Sell Immigrants Citizenship

The subject of immigration is in
deed complex. Mr.. Shaughnessy
points to so volumes on the subject
that came out of an exhaustive in
quiry conducted some years ago by
joint congressional committee
headed by the late Senator Dilling-
ham, Republican, of Vermont. Mr..
Shaughnessy, who has spent over 80
years in the immigration service,
is one of the Nations top authorities
on the subject
Special War Legislation
Some 142,353 aliens in United
States uniforms during World War
II became naturalized American
citizens under special legislation
Mr.. shaughnessy recalled. While
they had to file petitions and pass
the loyalty test, for them the law
waived many requirements affect
ing other aliens. Uncle Sam flg-
ured if one were willing to die for
America, he should be given the
opportunity to become its citizen,
Mr.. Shaughnessy declared.
Since 1924, there has been no
basic change in immigration quotas.
There are no quotas established for
the Western Hemisphere. Now,
every country in the world whose
citizens can legally be admitted into
the United States as immigrants
has minimum quota of 100 per-
sons
The banner year for naturaliza-
tions was 1914. The Nation was
then deep in war. And it was neces-
sary to be an American citizen be-
fore one could hold most jobs-and
to get an old-age pension and other
legal benefits.

Prosperous America is having lit

lucky enough to be here that they
should become United States citi-

has been sharply curtailed, natural

aliens to embrace a new allegiance.
