Names Republicanism is no more
rock-ribbed than MGM's formula
for these musicals. The latter all
start with a budding girl whose
soprano voice is the kind no one
would mind hearing at practice in
the next apartment. She is usually
an orphan, or a half-orphan. If
the latter, which is the more conf
mon, she plays cupid to whichever
of her parents is alive to receive

Like everything else in life, and
especially in the movies, this has
a tendency to become old hat in
being passed on from Judy to
Deanna to whoever. 1t is Paster-

Marshall Plan Is Seen Needed

Allied Policies Involved.
There is no doubt that the policies
Of all the Allies toward Germany
have contributed to create the ne
cessity for the Marshall Plan which
is, in truth, a plan to overcome the
effects of deliberate Allied actions
1t is not true, as Gen. Marshal
contended, that the war is almost

overcome from here, deliberately
were created-in steel, for instance
and fertilizers. And they 60 or

passion, revenge and fear.
Politics (policies) determine the
economic condition. But policy is
determined by what goes on in the
minds and hearts of men, what they
consider to be good or evil, lawful
or unlawful. In a world which has
almost lost its moral sense, and has
justified the most brutal means in
behalf of Utopian ends, no economic
policies or system can bring either
peace or prosperity.
Is not the root of the malaise
in the fear Of men OF each other?
In affectionate societies, where
standards are clear and upheld;
where men know that the word
given will be held, and that the
means used for even worthy ends
will be inhibited by respect for all
men as such, any economic system
functions tolerably well.
But where these fail, no economic
system will function.
The root is man.

If one asks ones self whether
economics are primarily the cause

failure of the United Nations to
establish international security; of
frightful communal strife in India
and Palestine; and of a peace"
which for tens of millions wears the
face of war, one must answer--I
think-in the negative.
I find no considerations of eco

made them, that they would con-

British to Stand with U. S.
There are a few forces in this
country which could be called on in
case of emergency. The brightest
development in the past few weeks
has been, however, the decision of
the British Labor government to
stand with the United States and
the other Western European coun-
tries in countering the growing
Red drive toward the West
The British have officially an
nounced that their 5000 men still
in Greece, who were expected to
leave that country by March, will
remain indefinitely. Moreover, there
is strong possibility that in case
of emergency the troops which are
being pulled out Of India, and pos
sibly some of the forces which are
scheduled to evacuate Palestine, may
be ordered to Greece or any other
Mediterranean area threatened by
Moscow or its satellites.
The air bases at Bengasi, in the
