End Of U.S.. Occupation
OF Reich in Two Years
Hinted by McC|oy
By David M. kichol
Foreign Correspondent Of The stof snd
the Chicago Daily News

the Chicago Daily News
FRANKFURT, Aug. g. The
American occupation of Germany
may come to an end In "18 months
or two years" That at least is
the impression which the new
American high commissioner.
John j. McCloy. has left in the
first round of staff conferences in
the American occupied zone.
1t represents major switch
from the first stage Of occupation
policy when it was customary to
speak of Is or even so years Of
Allied supervision and control.
1t jibes. however, with the grow
ing emphasis on administrative
efficiency" so far as occupation
machinery Is concerned, and on
economic reconstruction of the
three Western zones of the coun-
! try.
Mr.. McCloy has said nothing In
public to confirm this altered pro-
gram. In press conferences he
has denied that he brought any
new instructions from Washing
ton.
Taxpayer Eager to Shed Burden.
But in staff meetings he has
said candidly that the American
taxpayers were eager to shed some
of the burden they have assumed
in Europe and that the period OF
the occupation was growing
shorter.
He has told staff members that
"if we are only going to be here
for 18 months or two years more.
than we must redouble our efforts
in the time which remains.
Most staff members believe this
means concentration almost ex-
clusively on economic rebuilding.
They also believe it means that
long range programs like reed
ucation will go by the board and
that social experiments" even in
such recognized fields as insur-
ance and pensions will be kept to
a minimum.
American opposition to these
welfare measures already has pro-
duced explosive tensions among
overcrowded refugees and bombed
out city dwellers. Refugees IN
some areas like Bavaria account
for more than 20 per cent OF
the entire population.
Board A Slow Starter.
One American official observed
sourly: I'VE had only our con-
facts and our concepts as weapons
against what is left-and that's
plenty-of the Nazi program. We
are about to lose those"
Presumably the Military Secur-
ity Board will continue to func-
ton after the Allied occupation.
as such, is ended. But the Mill
tary Security Board itself has
been a notably slow starter. Un-
til recently the American element
had only one full-time official and
a handful of clerks although 1t
was formed last December.
It's duties, on paper at least. are
myriad. 1t will be the only agency
left to check on all German in
dustrial production. scientific re-
search and "militaristic tenden-
cies."
Doesn't Have Headquarters.
So far it doesn't even have a
headquarters. The French want
ed it in their zone. They have an
elaborate staff already chosen.
But they were unwilling to make
sufficient accommodation avail
able for those of the others. 1t
will probably now be located
near the new capital of Bonn.
The whole matter has most dis
turbing parallels with Germany
after World War I. What hap
pened then should still be suffl-
GENTLY fresh in the worlds men,
ory to need no reminders. Appar-
emily however it isn't.

Modern
Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Let's talk about talk. Kathryn
brings the subject to my atten-
ton. why" she demands, do
you insist that men and women
are so different" They're both
human beings, raised in the same
homes and living in the same
civilizations, aren't they?
Far from it, Kathryn. A
brother and sister, born to the
same parents and reared in the
same house. live in worlds that
are different in many respects.
They grow up to have entirely
different scales of values in large
and important areas of their lives.
Their talk gives some clue to this.
Several psychologists have stud
led conversation during the
past quarter of a century. H. T.
Moore walked down the same
section of Broadway in New York
City every night at 1880 for several
weeks in 1922, listening In on bits
of conversation. He learned that
when men talked to men, they
talked mainly of money and
business. When women. talked to
women, they talked mainly OF
men.
In 1924 M. E. Lands and H. E.
Burtt took notes on 500 CONVEX
sations in a variety OF places.
They found men talked to men
chiefly about business and money.
secondarily about sports and
amusements. Women talked to
women chiefly about men, second
arily about clothes.
In 1886 w. ]. Baker and D. NC.
Gregor got very much the same
results. BY this time, however,
under the influence of the de-
preston and New Deal, politics
and economics had become more
a part of the daily diet. They
accounted for one-fifth of mems
topics and one-tenth of women's
topics.
In the same year j. S. Carlson
and others reported scraps OF con-
versation during 10-minute inter-
missions of the Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra. Here they were
probably meeting with people OF a
somewhat different type from
those encountered on Broadway,
but, apart from conversations
dealing with the program and the
musicians, the same old topics
prevailed. Men talked to each
other about money and business,
then about men. and after that
about women. Women talked to
each other about women, then
about men, and after that about
other subjects.
These are the facts, Kathryn,
and you'll be smart If you act on
them. II you really think that you
can interest men in the kind Of
conversation you habitually carry
on with women, you're simply mis-
taken.
Both before and after marriage,
men and women need to make a
real study of topcs on which they
can talk together with mutual
interest.

Lays Down Party Line.
All the way the Lucas speech
lays down the party line for next
year and shows exactly how much
of their demands the Democrats
really expect to get.
The bipartisan foreign policy
will be defended as a good invest
ment: those opposing it will be
attacked as "deluded isolationists
or following a course Of political
expediency." The Marshall Plan
will not be slashed to the point
where the recovery Of Europe is
endangered.
The risk of deficit financing will
be taken by the administration
and the defense Of it will be

On the Record
American Diplomacy Lacks Standards
On Recognition of Foreign Governments

terion. We recognize the govern
ment of Poland, which was i'm
posed by force of the Russian
armies: and of Marshal Tito who
came into power exactly as the
Greek guerrillas hoped to come
into power, and against whom we
have armed and aided the Greek
national army.
Another Element.
In the case Of Tito (who is
coming in for a really disgusting
whitewash) we introduce another
element-he Is against the Rus
slams. Well, 50 is Franco-earlier
and longer. And there is quite as
much or little of what we call
democracy in Yugoslavia as in
Spain, and In Spain there Is con-
siderably more spiritual and in
tellectual freedom than In Yugo-
slavia.
I cannot think Of any one who
has opposed Marshal Tito being
allowed to live and work in Yugo-
slavia. but three prominent Re-
publican intellectuals, DR.. Greg
orio Maranon, Jose Ortega y Gas
set, and Ramon Perez De Ayala,
are back in Madrid. The argu-
ment for severing diplomatic re-
lations with Spain is that Franco
was pro-Axis. Actually. he played
on both sides of the lot-we rec
ognized his government during the
war, and broke with 1t when the
Axis was no more!
In fact, not one standard
democracy, respect for human
rights, or basically friendly rela-
lions toward ourselves-governs
recognition or non-recognition to-
day. What governs the decision
is how loudly certain organized
groups can howl. as the left wing
ers howl whenever the resumption
Of normal diplomatic relations
with Spain is advocated.
The only way to get out Of this
preposterous dilemma Is to re-
sumo the old diplomatic stand
ards, recognize whatever govern
ment is in effective power, apply
this standard impartially, and
make it perfectly clear that rec
ignition implies nothing further
than taking account of objective
fact.

power-whether it controlled the
major part Of q states territory,
enforced its laws, whatever they
might be, and was in effective con-
troll Of its diplomatic machinery.
There were practical reasons
for this policy. It's basis could be
exactly defined and applied.
Dilemma of New Policy.
But between the two wars and
increasingly under the Roosevelt
administration another practice
developed-to recognize or not
recognize as an indication Of ap-
prevail or disapproval, applied
without reference to any intended
action. (In the days before this
element Of approval entered into
the picture severance Of diplo-
matte relations was usually
recognized prelude to war. Today
it is indicative Of nothing active
at all0
The dilemma into which the
new policy has brought us is that
| the converse of disapproval Is ap-
proval. II non-recognition means
disapproval. recognition logically
means approval.
But, while we have Withdrawn
our Ambassador to Spain as
mark of disapproval of Franco,
we recognize (ergo, approve) the
Peron government in the Argen-
tine, as well as many other Latin
American governments, which, like
Frances, are in essence Dictator
ships Of generals.
We hesitate to recognize (regis-
ter approvaD Of Mao Use lungs
China, but (since 1889 do recog-
nize Stains Russia.
And, of course, since we in
troduced these qualitative consid-
erations into diplomacy, other ma
lions regard our recognition as
registering approval or disap-
prevail. It is quite conceivable that
our immediate recognition OF the
Hitler government after refusing
for Is years to recognize the
Soviet government, convinced the
Russians that we were more pro-
Nazi than prot Communist, though
the argument was that Hitler had
come into power by constitutional
processes land not by force and
coup d'etat.p

The Philadelphia case has no
such worldwide significance. It
merely affects the pocketbooks
Of Philadelphia hsh-eaters. The
Government says. the principal
live fish dealers Of that town,
supplying 80 to IS per cent of
the market, got together in a deal
whereby they all charged the same
unreasonably high prices and quit
competing for customers. Hay
ing, early this month, obtained a
criminal indictment against the
alleged conspirators, the Govern
ment is bringing the present civil
case to put an end to the alleged
monopoly.
TT is immaterial whether mon
opoly power over a market is held
by a big company or a small
company" says Mr.. Bergson;
monopoly power in the hands of
a small company can no more
be condoned than monopoly power
in the hands of a large company
In either case such power
represents the ultimate evil
against which the antitrust laws
are directed and combinations
possessing that power must be
dissolved"
So Goes The War.
So goes the war on monopoly
on the sector in which the Justice
Department operates. The Anti
Trust Division has had q fairly
busy year, having brought into
court 40 cases during 1949. The
most notable Of these have been
the actions against Dupont and
General Motors, the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company
and the Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Company. The division ex-
poets to be equally busy all next
year. It's investigators are working
all the time, running down COM
plants from all parts of the coun-
try.

among other things, the following
clauses: If either of the contract
ing parties is attacked, the other
will rush to its assistance; the
Russian government undertakes to
equip SO Chinese divisions with the
--latest equipment available and also
to send Red army instructors to
train those troops in handling the
new weapons: economic and cul-
tural cooperation Is provided for
on the pattern of the treaties
which exist today between the
IU. S. S. r. and her European satel-
Ilites; and the Chinese Red gov
eminent ratifies the Yalta agree
ment, which gave the Soviets con-
troll over the Manchurian railways
and the Pacific ports of Dairen
and Port Arthur.
Arms Clauses Interesting.
The military clauses, the reports
say, are more interesting than the
others. The Chinese Communist
forces came into being thanks
only to Soviet support. But
throughout the campaign against
the Kuomintang armies the Com
munists had only few tanks and
no aviation at their disposal.
Their artillery and machine-guns
were of outmoded design. being
principally from the Japanese
stockpiles in Manchuria. Later.
when the Communist forces were
increased to about $50 divisions,
the japanese factories which had
been moved from Manchuria to
Siberia produced the needed ord
nance and small arms.
These factories were unable,
however, to fill the needs Of mod
ern army which is supposed even
tually to measure itself against
forces provided with Western
equipment.

Aside from the fact that such
