Comment On
World Events

Mayor Victor Provo of Roubaix
France, an industrial center neal
the Belgian border, recently point
ed out how the Marshall Plan is
helping his city and all France,
Speaking at a city hall reception
for David X. Bruce, Economic Co
operation Administration Mission
Chief, Provo said that the Plan is
providing productive jobs for 1OO,-
600 Roubaix workers.
"What would become of our tex
tile centers here in Roubaix-Tour-
Going, with its 100000 workers" j"
he asked, "if credits were not put
at our disposal to buy materials
indispensable to the operation OF
our factories?
"The answer is easy; there would
inevitably be prolonged unemploy-
ment with all its accompanying
misery-which would be exploited
for purposes perfectly clear to all
of u.s."
Provo was referring to Commun-
list exploitation.
The Mayor told his audience that
the motives of the American peo-
pie is setting up the European Re-
covery Program were good mo-
tives. "The American people have
understood that they cannot live
in prosperity if misery exists in
one of the more important areas in
the world" he said. at can be said
that prosperity, like peace, is in
divisible."
Provo stressed that France must
"take cognizance Of the fact that
American aid will eventually cease
and that we would be guilty Of
frittering away the tremendous
possibilities offered us if we did
not think of and prepare for the
future"
The true meaning of the Mar
shall Plan is known to the people
of Roubaix, Provo indicated, and
added that few people of the town
had any doubts about it. "We are
fully aware that in accepting the
aid you grant us, we are working
toward the reconstruction of Eu-
rope" he said. "We are fully aware
that it is with free circulation
of goods, monetary stability and
economic cooperation that we can
best work for real peace"
! ! i
"The food situation in Western
Europe is very much better than it
was at this time a year ago." This
was the cheering conclusion reach
ed by DR.. Fitzgerald, Economic
Cooperation Administration Direct
or of Foods after recent 3weeks
study of the food problem in Eu-
rope.
He estimated that present food
consumption in Western Europe to
be within 10 percent of the prewar,
i. e. in terms of calories but not
in terms of the variety of food
available. Today's diet consists of
n much larger proportion of car
bohydrates, bread and potatoes and
a much smaller proportion of
animal proteins, meats, dairy pro-
ducts and the like. This of course
makes for a more monotonous diet.
Especially encouraging is the
rapid stride that has been made in
certain areas of agricultural pro-
duction. Take grain, for example.
The output of bread grains in
creased more than 40 percent over
1947 although it is still about 10
percent to IL percent below pre-
war. The 194S potato crop not only
increased so percent but even sur
passed prewar production. The
fresh vegetable crop was general
ly good. Sugar production was up
20 percent.

Israel's ability to win its war of in

Laboratory experiment in new kind

Socialist core based on trade-union-
ism and rural communes.
Ben-Gurion once said that the His
tadrut was intended to be the work
ers' instrument for the founding of
state, for the building of a land,
for the liberation of people.
No other union trade movement
anywhere has played so crucial a
role as the Histadrut. The recruit
ing board of Zionist pioneers and
the establishment of new collective
and cooperative farm settlements in
the battle against Palestine's mala-
rial valleys, craggy hills, and lonely
deserts are both among the functions
of Histadrut.
Certain fundamental questions of
our time may be answered by the
Histadrut in Israel How link work
er and farmer together? How com
bine the collective and cooperative
life with maximum of freedom for
development of the individual? How
tap the creative possibilities of labor
by giving its organizations something
bigger than collective bargaining as
their task? How build socialism
without the often cruel and clumsy
hand of an all-powerful centralized
state?
Something of the free society of
which Kropotkin dreamed, network
of collective and cooperative organ
izations based on the organized
power of workers and farmers, held
together by voluntary agreement
rather than the states compulsions
this is what one glimpses who has
seen the Histadrut in Israel.

HOW WILL 1T WORK?
new SCHOOL LEGISLATION . I.

schools figure their levies and re-
ceipts as follows:
Each district levies 5-mill dis
trict levy.
Each district adds its share of a
county wide 1O-mill levy.
Each district adds its interest
and income money from the state,
averaging about SIS per child be-
tween and FL years.
Each district adds other reven-
ue from Indian child tuition, forest
moneys and fines.
If the above listed moneys are
not sufficient to meet the founda-
ton program allowed by the per
pupil schedules, the district re-
ceives the balance needed from
the state. Those districts having
enough money from these sources
receive no money from the state.
Where the 5-miII district levy,
the 1O-mill county levy, the inter-
est and income money and money
from other sources and the state
fund do not provide enough to
meet the foundation program, the
district can make up the difference
by a district levy without a vote of
the people. A 20 per cent in
crease in the budget above the
foundation program can be made
by local levy also without vote
of people.
Where a district wants to go
above the foundation program and
the 20 per cent, an additional levy
can be made provided it is voted
on favorably by the people.
High School Budgets
High schools participating in the
state financing program figure then
ewes and receipts as follows:
Each high school shares in a ten
mill county levy for high schools
Each high school adds any other mon
sy such as tuition for Indian children
and vocational funds.
Difference between the sum OF
,hese moneys and the per pupil SEIZED
lie is obtained from the state.
Where the foundation schedule fl
lanced as indicated above is not
enough for the high school the trus-
ees may make an additional levy to
,ring up to Is per cent of the bud
ret without a vote of the people
This levy may be on the local dis

In New York Post

Imagine the United States, if ALL
CLIO, the railroad brotherhoods, the
miners, and the machinists were
united in one big union; if three
fourths of American mixed farming
were done by cooperative and col
lective farmers who, also belonged to
this union; if this unions members
and their families made up virtually
half the population of the United
States.
Imagine that this one big farmer
labor union through subsidiary CO.
operatives played major role in the
country's transport, banking, mar
keting wholesaling, fishing, water
supply, aviation, merchant marine,
building, and publishing; owned in
terms of output tenth of the coun-
try's manufacturing industry; and
was able to command the devotion
and energies of American-style go
getting businessmen as executives OF
these enterprises but at moderate
trade-union salaries.
Imagine that this one big union
had Just emerged successfully from
a period in which its resources and
members had played major part in
rescuing American abroad from a
dangerous enemy; secretly helped
train and arm a peoples militia for
resistance to an occupying power
and modified the nations workers,
farmers, and productive capacity IN
successful war of independence
against this power and neighboring
enemies allied with it.
Imagine that the leading figure of
this one big union, is John L. Lewis,
had also become the country's
Churchill, directing what had seemed
a hopeless war effort to victorious
as prime minister of the
newly freed state.
Imagine this and you get some
of what the Histadrut
means in Israel; the one big Jewish
farmer-labor union whose foremost
leader, David Ben-Gurion, is also
Tsrael's new chief of state.

this to be Histadrut Week. In SO

Pick-SIoan's Huge
'One-Sidedness
st. Louis Post-Dispatch

Few people perhaps realize that
the federal government has already
spent one and fifth billion dollars
on the Pick-Sloan plan and it's prede-
cessor works for the development of
! the Missouri valley.
1t is an enormous amount to be
spent under any conditions, and a
truly appalling amount to be spent
in advance Of any coherent plan for
spending it or for making certain
that the structures it provides will
be useful after they are built. Yet
that is what is happening. The only
"plans" are two conflicting pro-
grams which the Army Engineers and
the Reclamation Bureau drew up in
an attempt to forestall each other,
and which they then put together and
called a unified" plan in an attempt
to forestall MVA.
Engineers Get The Appropriations
The Army Engineers, with 10 per
cent of the program, has obtained Al
per cent of the appropriations, while
the Soil Conservation Service and
the Forest Service, with 9 per cent
of the program, have received 1.6
per cent of the appropriations. Pro-
portionately, the Army Engineers
have done eight times better for
themselves! And this is the record
of the "plan" which the Army Engi-
.neers represent as giving appropriate
emphasis to every phase of the de-
velopment.
While there is still time-before
error on a mammoth scale has
ben built into the Missouri valley
for generations to come-thIs re-
gion deserves better treatment at
the hands of congress by enact
ment of an MVA.
