European Recovery Program

We fought World War II to rid the world of Nazi-to talitarian aggression, only to find that former ally, the USSR used opportunities to organize for the same kind of aggression for Communists and on larger scale.

 American labor has been fighting Communism since the Communist minority seized control of Russia It has been hard to get other groups to realize that Comm nism to freedom and democracy Proof of the tactics and purposes of Communism, which have lated in all countries demonstrates that appeasement of Stan leads to the same results as appeasemen of Hitler

the social sciences, agriculture and nutri-
ton. The overall purpose Of the under
taking Is nothing less than the conquest
OF one OF the richest yet the most mysteri-
Gus regions of the earth.
But the victory sought is not triumph
OF arms. What is wanted Is development
of knowledge of the indicated area in terms
Of power over circumstance From 1900
when Vicente Yanez Pinzon sailed fifty
miles up its main stream, the Amazon
Valley has been understood to constitute
compelling challenge to human intelli-
gence. Orellana came down the river
from the Andes in 1541 and Pedro Texiera
made the first ascent to Quito by way of
the Napo in 1888. Both of these adven-
turers-and many other travellers since
their time-realized that the country brims
with wealth. The problem has been how
to exploit it constructively.
Mankind needs the Amazon drainage
sector as place to accommodate increas-
ing populations and as source of what
ever mineral, timber and food supplies it
affords. The task of subjecting any jungle
Is tremendous job. But it is feasible and
the I. H. A. l., with the backing of the
United Nations, will pioneer the under
taking. A budget of $100, ,0OO-not very
large sum as compared with the amount
currently expended annually for bubble
gum!-has been provided for the pre-
liminary program. DR.. Paulo Carneiro,
Brazilian delegate to UNESCO, and DR..
E. g. Corner. former director of the
Botanical Gardens at Singapore, are prime
movers in the assembling of the confer
ence. They speak of their endeavor as an
attempt to pool international brains,
money and work in a frontal attack by
virtually all branches of science on the
largest forest and water basin in the
world" A lay audience of many thousands
undoubtedly will watch their meeting in
hope that it may be successful in every
helpful respect.
