where they hope to be able te
resist the Communists in the
same way that they resisted
Japan's modern armies for eight
years.
The United States Government
is on record as willing to assist
all nations which are willing to
resist Red aggression. 1t was on
that basis that we extended timely
and effective assistance to Greece
which was being attacked both
from within and without by Mos
cows puppets.
1947 Truman Doctrine.
It was thanks to the Truman
Doctrine, enunciated in March,
1947, that Turkey has been able
to improve her military potential
so muGh as to cause Russia to
cease its saber-rattling game
which had kept Turkey on tenter-
hooks since the end of World War
II.
Yet. as the result Of some re-
markable and incomprehensible
reasoning on the part of the ad-
ministration, the State Depart
ment has stood adamantly against
the ALLEGATION of funds which
members of the Senate and House
want to extend to China to help
continued resistance against the
Communists.
So strong is the feeling among
policy-makers in the State De-
partment that we should not
spend even a nickel on non Com
munist China that they obviously
have preferred to take a beating
in the House on arms-for Europe
rather than yield to those Repre-
sentatiyes who would have voted

for the program II the State De-
partment had accepted their
amendment to help China.
If war comes it will be on two
fronts; the Atlantic and the Paci-
fic. There is not single military
man, either in this country or in
Europe. who is not convinced that
this will be the case. 1t is possible
that our strategy will be, as In the
last war. to put the emphasis on
Europe. But even so, we must
have some supporting points in
the Far East outside of Japan and
the Central Pacific islands. And
those supporting points can be
only on Chinese territory where
the Communists have not pene-
trated.
Global Strategy in Mind.
Hence, only military considera-
tions s- the same considerations
which prompt the administration
to press the arms-for- Europe pro-
gram as a must st'-should enter
into the Pacific picture. AS mat
ter of fact, global strategy and
global assistance were strongly in
the mind of the administration
when it requested and obtained
appropriations for the defense Of
Korea and the Philippines.
High officials in the State De-
partment have expressed-in pri-
vate conversations with some Con-
gressmen - their willingness to
agree to an appropriation of about
$150, 600, 900 for the defense of the
Far East. But they insisted that
nothing should go to the Chinese
Nationalists. even after the Con-
gressmen suggested that the
money should be earmarked only
as assistance to all the forces
which are fighting the Commu-
lists in the Far East.
At this time there is a strong
movement on In the Senate to
maintain the cuts made by the
House in the arms programs, un-
less the administration shows less
bias in our present global politico-
military strategy.
A number of Senators ask the
unanswered-and unanswerable-
question: why favor an expendi-
ture which eventually will exceed
five billion dollars to arm nations
which we are not sure will fight
again, and refuse even q small
amount Of money to armies which
have been in the field for years
and which continue to show
fighting spirit under the most ad-
verse circumstances"

On the Record
German Government Faces Problems
That Seem Almost Insuperable

If it fails, it will certainly be
supplanted by far less moderate
forces.
The Neue Zurcher zeitung
(Swiss), which for keen and intel
ligent reporting, has, I think, no
rival in Europe. followed the elec-
ton campaign closely and confirms
the almost total absence of any
German interest in ideologies.
On August IL, meeting was
held in Frankfort in which all
parties participated, making
speeches and answering questions.
The Swiss reporter found the
questions more Illuminating than
the answers. The public showed
no interest in theoretical ques-
tions, such as whether the can
didates favored socialization or
free economy.
Factual Questions.
The questions were all factual,
such as:
What, precisely do you intend
to do about the bombed-out and
refugees?
Where are you going to get
money for housing and how will
it be used?
Do you pledge yourself to cut
down the present bureaucratic
extravangances?
Will you support a plebiscite on
the question of the new capital?
How can we get a peace treaty?
The Swiss reporter adds that
many questions indicated a de-
mand. for reduction of bureau
cratic costs, which appeared AZ a
greater burden than capitalist
profits-as the popular vote has
confirmed. -
It is indeed a new German mind
that 'sropes after practical an
swers rather than theological sys-
TENS, substituting skeptical real
ism for fantastical idealism. The
German has always been, beyond
all other Westerners, believer IN
philosophical and social systems

reason, realism and human values,

the two countries had prospered

tinued to yammer at one another

nothing more. involved than the
question Of good taste.
But we haven't prospered
equally since the war, any more
than we suffered equally during
the war. The demolition of Brit
ish cities and industries during
the war was followed by the
demolition Of the British economy
after the war. The prosperity OF
this unscathed land during the
war-and 1t was sreal prosperity in
terms Of profits and good living
has been followed by increased
prosperity since the war.

So we've got money and money
talks. Some it has been talking
pretty big to the British. telling
them not to do this. but to do
that; above all. to do everything
our way Telling them they
gotta be. enterprising. like us;
gotta take risks. Gotta get up
earlier and stay up later. Gotta
work harder.
And some of this comes from
those same free enterprisers who
wouldn't engage in war production
or expand their plants during the
war until the government had
furnished the money. guaranteed
them against loss. and assured
their safe competitive position
when the war should be over.
And from brave young executives
who walked out on the war and
spent their time In Florida be-
cause wartime taxes had des-
troyed their incentive"
There's plenty Of enterprise in
this country, to be sure, and
much that our able industrialists
can show their British cousins
and show them in way that
isn't offensive. Some Of them
are doing this very thing and
earning everlasting gratitude.
But they aren't doing it by lee
turing from the sidelines.

ployment of Negroes in jobs utiliz-
ing their highest skills would add
more than a billion dollars to the
purchasing power of the people
of the United States. This is the
opinion of John E. O'Gara, vice
president and general manager of
Mays Department store, New
York, in an address before the
American Management Associa-
tons; three day personnel confer
ence in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
this week.
Scoring employment discrimina-
ton against qualified Negroes, he
pointed out that such a practice
made employer "criminally respon-
sible for providing soft spot for
subversive penetration"
Economic discriminate on," he
declared, "means that the Negro
can't stand on his OWL feet and.
when he can't do that, then he au-
tomatically must lean on the COM
munity. When he leans on the COM
munity, he becomes fax and re-
lief burden; he becomes the easiest
prey to disease-which of course
spreads within the whole commune
ty, and he is shut off from markets
because obviously he can't buy.
The lack of billion dollar pur-
chasing power because Of discrimi-
nation was a conservative he en-
phasized, and said we should not
chase after expensive foreign mar
kets with such a no-cost, big one
right on our doorsteps.
From the point of view of the
economic health of the commune
ty," he added, "there is in job dis
elimination, significant damage
too little recognized. This damage
comes directly home to roost in
the markets of our commerce and
industry"
