 The French have not forgotten Dunkirk. The British, on the other hand, feel that had the remnant of the British forces not withdrawn to their island bastion at that time but h ad continued to squander their substance on the continent the war would have been lost.
 The old debate has now been revived and in a new form since in everYbodY's mind is inc horri- flying thought that in the next war nations in the path of an invading force will also be in the path of atomic bombs.
 Unless and until this quarrel over strategy is resolved, and it is a quarrel that greatly concerns us as well as the immediate partici- pants, American military assist ance to the nations belonging to the western union might prove to be a wasteful expenditure of ma teriel and productive power as military aid to China has so far

ERP And Initiation
(By Lawrence Martini

CRITICS OF THE EUROPEAN recovery program new imitation spiral in this country. In the past few days they have been warning that the present down. ward trend in the cost of living will be abruptly versed if Congress authorizes aid scale likely to draw deeply for export to Europe already short supplies of steel, fertilizer petroleum products and other commodities.
 There is no denying that everything that is taken out of existing shortage and set abroad makes the shortage worse and tends to boost prices here But look at foreign trade picture will reveal that in- stead of being nfationary, aid to Europe will gradu- ally and steadily tighten inflatonary pressure on our economy. Here the essential facts:
 In the third quarter of 1947 our exports to Europe were only 36 per cent of total, compared with Al per cent in the quarter of 1946 and B per |cent in 1945.
 But our total exports in 1947 were very much greater. The reason is that foreign trade with South America, for example, expanded tremendously Whereas it amounted to 432 million dollars per quar- ter in the 193638 period in the last quarter of 1947 lit was 2,200 million dollars
 The reason for that is simply that South America had to draw on us for commodities formerly bought from Europe, but not unavailable there If Europe had been producing for export South America would have purchased there, instead of helping make our shortages shorter, and domestic nfaltion worse Putting Europe back into production for export is
 therefore the most effective export control we can de- wise, short of arbitrary set of governmental con- tros In other words, aid to Europe resulting in n- creased production there, will lift the pressure of de- mand from us, instead of making it worse

Token China Aid Is Not Enough
(Rocky Mountain NeWS)

(Rocky Mountain NeWs)
 THE STATE DEPARTMENT under pressure has changed it's no-aid-to-C China policy
 But unless it is prepared to go much further and faster in getting help to China, there is little prospect that the policy will be more than cruelty decep- tive gesture.
 Secretary Marshall now says the Communist arm es may take the rest of Manchuria and North China and that this would make position in Korea untenable and our position in Japan insecure. So there is longer any official question that American security interests involved.
 He urges 570 million dollars in the next fiscal year for non-mitary aid, and point out that supply ing these civilian goods will release Chinese funds for purchase here of other essentials That is, military materials
 The state department says army supplies are going forward; that loaded Chinese ships at Saipan last week, that 15O transport planes being readied for delivery that ow-cost contracts for plus ammunition from the Marianas and Hawaii were signed last month and will be filled rapidly
 Finally Secretary Marshall emphasizes the lack of training of Chinese nationalist troops and the nabil- ity of their officers to get maximum results without expert military advce-Such he gave to little avail when in China in 1946
 So in theory Washington favors the sending of mill tary supplies and American military advisers, which such experts Generals Wedemeyer and Chennault consider absolutely imperative to enable Chiang Kali Shek to halt the Red advance.
 The many Congressional and other friends of China aid are now relieved of the tme-consuming task of proving the obvious wisdom of this policy. They concentrate on getting it applied effectively. As for munitions, the contracts already made are mere tokens Far larger amounts required plus the men and the ships to guarantee quick delivery.

WHAT'S THE SECRET

makes the American standard of living so much higher than that of other nations? Our country is in no favored position as to raw ma terials, geography, population, cli- mate, or the other factors usually thought of as making up a nations economy. In fact, we have less of the worlds territory, fewer peo- pie, and not as many natural re- sources as some other nations.
 All these things you will find in the almanacs. Looking further and with a little more discrimination, you will find that America does much, much more with what it does have. What I mean is that America produces. The figures will tell you that our industrial and agricultural output" is great. This does not mean that Ameri- cans work any harder than any, body else. Actually, they do not have to work as hard as workers in other countries.
 Method That Works
 Then where's the difference? Whats the secret? It is the system that makes the difference. Our high standard of living, our good living, is the pay-off of this sys- tenn. This is where we reap the benefits of the right system, sys- tenn that really works. Once in awhile, maybe, we have a shortage or an inequity. Maybe we lack production here, or there. But right away, enterprise goes to work to meet that demand.
 With no interference from a dic- tator-state, the system takes care of little dislocations and progress keeps going. Our standard of good living continues to rise. Only in this way may all the people reap the rewards of their inventiveness and their enterprise. You see, the fellow who invents a light bulb or a self-starter is not the only one to profit. The fellow who uses them profits most.
 Trial And Error
 This system would bog down under heavy-handed stateism. Let the government step in to manage, and you have a dozen ways the system can go haywire. Demand no longer becomes the basis for production. Profit is penalized, and nobody gets the benefits of enterprise. People lose initiative and inventiveness, and everybody suffers. This has been Americas experience, wherever she has tried "stateism."
 This has been the experience of other nations that have experi- mented, too. The Associated Press reported the other day that the di- rector of Moscow's largest depart ment store had denounced Russian production as shoddy in quality and low in quantity. According to the director of the store, the Rus sian consumer found little to his liking in what merchandise there was for sale.

but that when she was a child the
spot was the family garden. Then,
when she grew up, she had home
built on that corner; that was the
house lately owned by DR.. Smoot,
the inside of which recently burned.
When the workmen dug down about
ten feet for the foundation, they
came upon an old stone foundation
and miscellaneous oyster shells and
beef bones They were greatly
amazed, but the owner, the Doc
tors daughter, recalled the old
story. So she had them use the old
