MILITARY PRODUCTION PLANS

1t would hearten the friends of
America in Europe and impress
the men in the Kremlin if they
could comprehend the war-pro-
duction potential of t h small
manufacturers of the U n t d
States. No other part of the world
contains such a multitude of man
ayers and skilled workmen with
the industrial know-how. To-
gether they can turn out a mar
velous volume of h e intricate
materials that go into all kinds of
military equipment.
Many have b e e n all through
this before, during the last war.
Now they are responding to h e
planning for industrial mobiliza-
ton recently undertaken by h e
armed services. 1t is anticipated
that 100000 production enter
prises will advise t h National
Military Establishment just what
they can best make in the event
of war.
Organized m a | business in
New England is giving a pioneer
impetus to the planning for pro-
curement which is helpful b o h
to the government and the little
fellows. The Smaller Business
Association of N ew England,
Inc, is holding exhibits of mat
erials and bringing officers of the
arm ed services to explain the
program direct to gatherings of
small manufacturers. The associ-
alton proposes to take its mission
to every congressional district of
the region.
Where no such face-to-face OPP
portunities are available, it will
be good business and better pre-
paredness for every plant that
can contribute to take the initial
steps itself to indicate now to the
procurement authorities W h a t
each is interested in making. -

George Notes Easing
OF Tension in GEORGIA

How racial tensions have been
eased in Georgia was described
yesterday by Senator George, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, at a meeting in
the Library of Congress which
opened an exhibit commemorating
the 215th anniversary of the found
ing of the 18th colony.
The State was confronted with
"a whole new set of social prob
lems," the Senator said, las small
town and country people, including
many Negro farmers, forsook the
old way of life for crowded condi-
tions in the cities. The strains have
been eased partly by an enormous
migration of Georgians, especially
Negroes, to other States, and more
particularly to Northern industrial
centerS.
THE inter-racial tension has
noticeably declined, due not only
to the migration, but also to the
earnest effort by both sides to pro-
mote understanding" The chang
ing times, the Senator said, have
fostered new tendency to self
appraisal and revaluation of ideas.
The history of the State, along
with its progress in diversified ag-
riculture, industry and trade, are
illustrated in photographs, books,
manuscripts and maps from the
Library of Congress, National Gal
lery of Art, and Georgia institu-
tions. The exhibit will be open
through April 30.

Youths Convene Here
Today for Fight on
Military Training

More than 1000 delegates, mostly
from religious. student and vet.
Grams groups, are expected to arrive
in Washington today to open a two.
day campaign against universal
military training legislation.
The young people will attend a
national youth assembly" formed
by about 300 leaders who have
banded together from all parts OF
the country to fight universal train
ing proposals.
The assembly is headed by the
Rev. John Darr, executive secretary
of the United Christian Council
for Democracy.
The conference will get underway
at Turner's Arena at 1890 am.
today. Brig. Gen. H. c. Holdridge,
chairman Of the Peoples Party and
self -announced candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
will participate with Mr.. Darr and
Russell Nixon of the Go in a
discussion of universal training.
Robert Kenny, president of the
National Lawyers Guild and one of
the leading hackers of Henry Wal
lace's bid for the presidency, will
speak at an evening session.
Tomorrow the delegates will split
up to visit Congressional leaders, the
White House and military officials.
Paul Robson will deliver the main
address at plenary session in the
afternoon at the Metropolitan Bap-
fist Church.
At a press conference yesterday
Mr.. Dsrr said the purpose of the
assembly "is to develop an alternate
plan to UNIT in addition to actively
opposing it,"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-02-15

pact with the Hitlerites was par
of the plan of the foreign policy o.
the U. S. S. r.
"On the contrary, the U. s. S. r
strove at all times to have an agree.
ment with western non-aggressior
states against the German and Ital.
ian aggressorS for the achievement
of collective security on a basis o.
equality"
The Soviet statement continued
There must be two parties to ar
agreement, whereas the U. S. S. r
insisted on an agreement for COM
batting aggression, Britain anc
France Systematically rejected it
preferring to pursue policy of iso-
lating the U. S. S. R.
U. S. Investments Cited.
1.-The United States, far from
counteracting that ruinous policy
backed it in every way. AS fol-
American billionaires, they went on
investing their capital in German
heavy industry, helping the Ger
mans to expand their war industries
and thus supplied German aggres-
sion with arms.
They might as we'll have been
saying go on, Messieurs Europeans
wage the war to your hearts con-
tent, while we modest American
billionaires accumulate wealth out
of your war"
Naturally" the Russian state
ment added. with this state of
affairs in Europe, there remained
only one way out for the Soviet
Union-to accept the German pro-
posal for a pact. This was after all
the best of all possible ways out.
Just as in 1918, owing to the
hostile policy of the western powers,
the Soviet Union was forced to
conclude the Brest peace pact with
the Germans, so in 1889, 20 years
after the peace of Brest, the Soviet
Union was compelled to conclude a
peace with the Germans, owing to
the same hostile policy of Britain
and France. The clap-trap SANDER
ings of all this, to the effect that the
USSR. should have in no case al
lowed itself to conclude pact with
the Germans, can only be regarded
as ridiculous"
The Soviet statement then asked:
"Why could Poland, who had
Britain and France as allies, con-
cl1da non-appreSsion pact with
the Germans in 1884, and the Soviet
Union, enjoying less favorable con-
ditions. could not conclude a similar
pact in 1892"
why could Britain and France,
who were the dominant force IN
Europe, issue jointly with the Ger
mans a declaration on non-aggres-
sion in 1888, and the Soviet Union,
isolated because of the hostile policy
of Britain and France, could not
conclude pact with Germany"

Civilian Defense

and then putting them into effect
should another war come" he de-
clared.
Both Mr.. Forrestal and the report
itself stressed that the job was pure
| ly a civilian one, entirely distinct
from the military. Mr.. Forrestal said
he had discussed the dictatorship
with several persons and that no
military man was under considera-
! ton.
The unit will fit into the National
Defense Establishment on a level
with the Munitions Board, which
plans for military mobilization in
wartime.
The defense chief said basic leg
islation existed in the National
Security Act for creation OF the
unit. No legislation will be imposed
on States. The agency will attempt
to negotiate agreements with the
State, municipal and county govern
ments to carry out the program on
a regional basis. Many municipah-
ties already have expressed an in
terest in such plans, it was said.
Depends on Self Help.
Mr.. Forrestal also saw a direct
relationship to Universal Military
Training, should that measure be
passed by Congress, because out OF
UNIT might come the cadres" neces-
sary for civilian defense.
The fundamental principle of
civil defense is self-help," the board
reported. I'm the event of another
war widespread destruction may be
anticipated in industrial areas and
centers of population. Such de-
struction may be expected stimuli

Probers GivenA All Data
On Senator Thomas
Trading, 1ydings Says
by The Associated Press

Senator Tydings, Democrat oil
Maryland, said yesterday that
Senator Thomas, Democrat OF
Oklahoma, has supplied all the
data asked by a Senate committee
about his commodity trading OPP
erations.
Senator Tydings told a reporter
he based his comment on COM
plete examination" of information
supplied by Senator Thomas.
Il see no reason for a public hear
ing on this matter because we have
all the facts and they tally with his
bank accounts" Senator Tydings
said.
A final decision on whether inves-
tigating Senators will try to bring
Senator Thomas before a special
hearing has yet to be made.
Senator Tydings Is a Democrat
member of the flve-member ap-
preparations subcommittee headed
by Senator Ferguson, Republican of
Michigan.
Senator Ferguson was away from
the Capital yesterday. Senator
Knowland, Republican of California,
who ranks next on the committee,
said he could not discuss the
Thomas case or Senator Tydings'
comment.
Senator Thomas also refused
comment yesterday. Two weeks ago
he said he would not consent to a
public hearing by Chairman Fer
guSon. He promised then "all the
information they want"
At that time, Senator Thomas
said he had invested from $150OO0
to $175,000 in commodity markets
and securities over the last 20 years.
More recently, the Senator said, he
and Mrs. Thomas have disposed of
all their holdings.
Meanwhile, both the Ferguson
subcommittee and the Senate Agri-
culture Committee planned sessions
tomorrow dealing with the COM
modify markets. !
Edwin T. Maynard, Chicago
trader credited with making $780,
600 to $4,000 profits on the market
price drops this month, agreed to a
closed-door session with the Fer
guson group.
The Agriculture Committee is
holding open hearings on the re-
quest of Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson for power to fix the
amount of margins (down payment
that must be put up for speculative
trading in most commodities.

with the U. S. S. R., the British
conducted backstage negotiations
with Germany and they attached
incomparably greater Importance to
the latter"
The statement also charged that
Britain hoped for an Angelo-Amer-
lean agreement, and if she had
gotten it she would have virtually
abolished her guarantees to Poland.
In case an Anglo American
agreement were signed, the Russian
statement said, the British were
prepared to let the Germans settle
the Danzig problem and that if the
Polish CORRIDOR with Poland alone
undertaking not to- interfere in the
settlement.
The statement added that the
Russians would back this up later
with captured documents.
The Russians charged that all
this meant that. the rulers of Britain
were prepared to surrender Poland
to Hitler as his prey at time when
the Ink with which Britain's guar
antees to Poland had been signed
was not yet dry.
Secret Colonial Deal.
And lastly, the statement said, it
was proposed to supplement polit-
ical agreement between Britain and
Germany by an economic agreement
which would include a secret deal
on colonial questions, the distribu-
ton of raw material, and on divi-
sion of markets as well as on a big
British loan for Germany.
Thus, the Russian statement said
Britain's rulers saw an alluring pic
ture of stable agreement with Ger
many and a So-called channeliza-
ton of German aggression toward
the east against Poland to whom
they had but recently given a guar
antee, and against the Soviet Union.
But by this time, the Russian
statement continued, there was no
doubt left that, far from intending
to make any serious attempt to pre-
vent Hitler Germany from starting
war, Britain and France, on the con-
trary, were doing everything within
their power by means of secret deals
and agreements, by means of every
possible provocation, to incite Hitler
Germany against the Soviet Union.
The statement said that under
the conditions, no one will ever sue
coed in wiping from history that
the Soviet Union faced an alterna-
tive:
Either accept, for the purposes
of self-defense, the German propo-
sal to conclude a nonaggression pact,
and thereby insure to the Soviet
Union the prolongation of peace for
a certain period of time which
might be used by the Soviet state
better to prepare its forces for re-
sistance to possible attack on the
part of the aggressors.
Situation Declared Unfavorable.
'Or to reject Germany's prospoSal
for nonaggression pact and there
by permit the war provocateurs from
the camp of the western powers
Immediately to involve the Soviet
Union in armed conflict with Ger
many at a time when the situation
was utterly unfavorable to the So
Wet Union and when it was COM
pletely isolated.
I'm this situation the Soviet gov
eminent found itself compelled to
make its choice and concluded a
nonaggression pact with Germany.

The formation of mobile reserves

protective services available only in

stated. Provision should be made
