Perplexed in the extreme was
Rene Mayer, French minister of
finance, who was caught in this
pose as he explained to French
newsmen the new fiscal measures
adopted by the government and
the method he will use in an at
tempt to balance Frances 1948
budget.

conservative element Of thinking
which rejects an ''internationalist'
foreign policy on the grounds that
U. S. resources should be concen-
trated at home.
Decrying even moral commit
ment' for the four-year period con-
templated in the state departments
proposals, he asserted the U. S.
should keep itself entirely free ''to
end our efforts without recrimina-
tion.'',
He expressed, too, the fear that a
lavish outpouring of aid would
weaken the American economy to
the extent that all world recovery
would be defeated
The volume of exports and funds
proposed in the Marshall plan, he
opined, might aggravate the al
ready serious imitation, draining our
national resources and continuing
high tax rates, "an of which might
bring depression and thus destroy
the strength of the one remaining
source Of aid to world of chaos"
Hoover recommended further that
the Marshall plan, if it is adopted,
be run by a bipartisan commission,
and suggested that up to three bill
lion dollars in food, coal, fertilizers
and cotton be labeled frankly as
"gifts" because unsecured loans
Twill not and cannot be repaid"

There will be special concessions
made for the people with dollars in
their pockets. Certain hotels, Wilson
implied, will be favored with special
food supplies, fuel and labor for the
purpose of catering to American
tourists.
Opposition to this plan is being
expressed, with some fury, as a
combination of the inherent British
love Of fair play plus general
criticism of the Labor governments
policies.
Editorialized the London Daily
Mail: ''As a bald exposition of the
art of exploitation, this (Wilson's)
statement would be hard to beat.
Here is the profit motive in all it's
blatancy, expounded by minister
whose party exists to repudiate it.
what about visitors from other
countries-including the dominions?
Are we to cold-shoulder their francs,
lire, guilders or pounds while we
rush forward in obsequious well

REFUSAL:
Prediction

About all the average U. S. citizen
knows about Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover is that he either will or will
not get into the campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination
this year.
But Roy A. Roberts, president Of
the Kansas City Star and leading
promoter of pro-Eisenhower senti-
ment, now says he definitely will
not.
Roberts prediction was that the
general soon would remove himself
from all consideration along those
lines. Said Roberts:
''I'll venture a guess that before
June the general may take himself
completely out of the political pic
ture. / am sure the message will
come when he lays aside his mill
tary uniform February 49,"
He emphasized, though, that he
was not speaking for Eisenhower.
With ALI Landon, 1886 Republican
presidential nominee, Roberts had
been doing most of the political
drum-beating for Eisenhower.

SPLITS:
sSecessiOn'?

Election year was shaping up in
great style, with both Democrats
and Republicans taking to the pub
lie wailing wall their fears of harm
full factionalism within the party.
While both sides have been point
ing with enamelled smiles to evi.
dences of their parties unity, Dem
ocrats are worried about possible
revolt by the southern states and
Republicans can't quite get together
on some major issues, particularly
meat rationing.
Democrats ostensibly were
cheered by the decision of A. F.
Whitney, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, to go
along with the campaign to keep
President Truman in the White
House.
Whitney, who underwent change
Of heart after having promised I'M
relenting opposition to Mr.. Truman
during the 1916 rail strike contro-
versy, said that 1--WE want to see the
party win in 1948."
Less prepossessing, although no
loyal Democrat would admit it pub
licly, was a threat of party "seces-
sion'' from Fielding L. Wright, TAX
ing office for full term as governor
of Mississippi.
In his inaugural address Wright
declared that the time had come
for southern Democrats to leave a
party that continues to press con-
gress to enact such "anti-southern"
legislation as a permanent fair en-
ployment practices commission,
anti-lynch and anti-pon tax bills and
similar measures.

FEAR
On Farms

Turning briefly to the field Of psy-
chology, versatile Clinton Anderson.
secretary of agriculture, offered
President Truman an analysis Of the
personality Of the U. S. farmer.
His thesis: That most farmers,
despite their current record pros
perity, harbor deep-seated fear Of
the economic future.
Recalling the sharp agricultural
recession which followed World War
I, they are inclined to expect an
other depression, perhaps much
more serious, when the present
world food shortage vanishes, he
said.
Increasing their concern, Ander-
son theorized, is an awareness that
because of chronological advances
their productive capacity has been
increased more than a third over
prewar levels. Therefore, they are
worrying about future markets for
their products.
''They do not expect the Unsuitable
demands Of wartime and early post
war years to continue indefinitely.
They want some assurance that
markets and consumer buying
power will not be allowed to decline
excessively for lack of a rational
economic policy"
Anderson himself does not think a
daprocSiop iS ipavjtoh1a
II believe" he said, that If we
continue in our present course,
which keeps us in, rather than takes
us out, of world economy, we shall
find it easier to avoid a major de-
preston, and consequently to avoid
agricultural programs Of the type
we found essential in the 1905"

RUBBER BILL:
Leaves Government In

Legislation to establish perma-
nent, government-regulated Ameri-
can rubber industry with a 675,0O0-
ton annual capacity and a required
annual production of at least 225. 900
tons a year has been introduced by
Rep. Paul Shafer (Rep, Mich.).
The bill refers throughout to the
product in question as American
made rubber" The word "syn-
thetic," as the term for factory made
rubber, is not mentioned.
Shafer. chairman of house
armed services subcommittee which
has studied domestic rubber needs
and production facilities for almost
a year, said the purpose Of his bill
is to maintain "a progressive rub
reproducing industry of sufficient
capacity to at all times supply civil
ian and military requirements"
The measure leaves the govern
ment in the rubber industry, where
it has been since it began building
synthetic rubber plants in 1941. BY
the end ct the war the government
owned an industry that had cost 700
million dollars.

DOLLARS.
LordLy

Just about the only record that
Britons are interested in having
broken when the revived Olympic
games take place this summer is the
one for the number of American dol
lars spent in England.
While Great Britain's campaign to
earn dollars in large quantities COW
ers virtually every field from racing
dogs to Rolls Royces, it is the Amer
lean tourist who is getting the lions
share of attention at the moment.
Harold Wilson, president of the
British board of trade, minced no
words when he said with quiet des-
peration:
"Quite frankly. we are going to
discriminate between tourists who
are. bringing in dollars and those
who are not"

WORRIED:
E Per Cent

Democrats are starting to worry
afresh over the possibility that Hen
ry Wallace might take enough votes
away from them to swing the No
vember presidential election to the
Republicans.
On the basis of the 1914 presiden-
tial results, if 6 per cent of the
voters switch from the Democratic
nominee to Wallace in November, a
Republican will be elected.
Reasons why Democratic bosses
are fretting over Wallace can be
seen from survey made of the
popular vote in the 1914 election.
Here is what could happen:
I If Wallace takes 10 per cent
L. more Democratic votes than
Republican votes, the COP will
carry 81 states with a total Of $40
electoral college votes. That would
leave the Democrats with II states
and 1872 electoral votes.
= If Wallace gets only per cent
81. of the votes, the Democrats
would salvage another state-New
Mexico - and raise their electoral
votes to 1876, but the Republicans
still would win.
, II Wallace wins over just 6 per
-. cent of the voters, the Demo-
Gratis would remain on the short end
because the Republicans would take
% states and the comfortable mar
gin of 281 electoral votes.

POLAR DATA:
The Race

Congressional sources have re-
ported that Russian and American
military planes have been compel
ing at the top of the world for vital
weather information with regular
flights over the North pole.
The Soviet flights apparently are
made from Siberia, while U. S.
planes operate from Laid Field,
Fairbanks, Alaska. Russian planes
also were said to be carrying out
weather data flights over Alaska.
Two members of the house for
eign affairs committee, Rep. Robert
Chiperfield (Rep., Iu) and Rep.
Bartel Jonkman (Rep., Mich), in
reporting on their trip to Alaska last
fall, declared that u. S. air forces
planes were making regular
weekly flight of 1920 miles over the
North pole. fsf.
In their formal reports the con-
gressmen made no mention of So;
Wet plane flights, but from sources
close to the group it was learned
that the matter was discussed with
American officials who are sta
toned in Alaska.

BUDGET:

For Republican congressman with

The joint legislative budget COM
mittee had swung into action on the
1877 billion-dollar estimate in an eff
fort to reach an agreement as soon
as possible on a ceiling for govern
ment spending.
Speaker Of the House Joseph Mar
tin (Rep., Mass.) said no early de-
cision had been reached on how
much the committee would seek to
trim the Presidents budget. But he
added that it "can be substantially
cut"
Meanwhile, Chairman Harold
Knutson (Rep., Minn.) of the house
ways and means committee had
stated that senate and house leaders
had. arrived at an informal agree
ment to slash the budget by three
billion dollars.

COLD WAR
Ne1U Propaganda

The celebrated "cold war" has
been enriched by another U. S.
propaganda strike, probably the
heaviest yet, against Russia. lsuI
It took the form of official state
department publication Of captured
German foreign Office records re7I
vealing the extent and nature OF
Nazi-Soviet relations from 1899 to
1941, the period covered by the nom
aggression pact between the two
nations which ended when Hitler
attacked the Russians on June ~,
1941. loI
In the light of the U. S.-Russian
wartime alliance, the Nazi docu-
ments, published in book form, tell
a sordid story of secret agreements,
global gambling with nations for
stakes and the feverish fetish OF po-
litical expediency which gripped the
minds of the German and Russian
leaders both before and during the
war.
High point of the hitherto secret
dossier was the revelation that in
1910 Adolf Hitler and V. M. Molotov
of Russia agreed that Britain and
the U. S. mus be excluded from
Europe, Asia and Africa.
The book told also how, in 1910,
Stain had offered to join the Ger
man-Italian-Jap axis it Hitler
would give Russia free hand IN
Finland, a military base near the
Dardanelles and dominant voice
in the oil-rich Middle East. Then the
documents show how Hitler, disdain-
ing even to answer Stalin's PROPOSE
ton. ordered his armies to prepare
''to crush Soviet Russia in a quick
campaign"
One of the major factors which
precipitated the German attack on
Russia was the Soviet demand Tor
dominant control of the Balkans.
Hitler. who was as aware as any
man of the political, economic and
strategic value of the pivotal Balkan
area, turned thumbs down on that
Russian desire also.
Sum and substance of the state
department spectacular publica'
ton of the Nazi documents was little
more than an emphatic indication OF
an already well-known fact: That
Russia, with aggressive consistency,
has been hungering for years for
leadership in the Balkans, for new
pre-eminence in the Dardanelles,
for expansion in Central Asia and
for a free hand in Finland and
Poland.
Value of the publication of these
documents at this time is question
able, despite the fagrantly apparent
anti-Russian propaganda they can
and will inspire. State departments
action obviously was aimed at rally
ing public support behind the Mar
shall plan, soon to come up for con-
gressional action, but it also would
serve to aggravate and infame the
already dangerously touchy "cold
war"

ALPHABET:
Anciient

university, claims to have discov-
cred readable samples of the, oldest
known precursor of European and
Semitic alphabets in a turquoise
mine in Egypt's Biblical Mount
Sinai area.
The samples were in the form of
inscriptions left in the pits by an
cient miners, probably around 1900
B. c. The mine was last operated
between the 18th and 18th centuries
B. c. and the inscriptions are be-
lieved to be at least 300 years older.
Apparently the alphabet contains
about % consonants and no vowels.
The inscriptions included pleas
from slaves to their masters to
show them mercy, Albright said.
Other examples of the ancient
alphabet have been discovered in
Jerusalem but have proved too frag-
mentary for complete analysis.

BUENOS AIRES ((JTA)-"Is-

donated to the Israeli Government
by Moshe Perel, a local Zionist
leader, and which is expected to
house the future Israeli consulate
in this country, was opened here
this week by Arieh Chill, Israeli
official in charge of the VISA

mission to Argentina.
The first visa to Israel to be
issued to an Argentinian was
given to Michael Graiver, a direc-
tor of the Jewish National Fund
office here. A special Hebrew
and Spanish-language shortwave
radio broadcast was beamed to
Tel Aviv from this city on the
eve of Rosh Hashonah. Sevehal
Jewish leaders participated in the
broadcast.

that Israel had claimed that area

occupied it, and events and expert

national defense.
