FREE TRADE IN WESTERN EuRoPE


Using the United States as an ex-
ample, Paul G. Hoffman Economic Coope-
ration Administrator. recently called upon
European nations to integrate the economy
of Western Europe so that there. would
be created single market without re-
strictions on the movements Of goods on
money. This would make free trading
area Of approximately 270s000,000 con-
sumers in Western Europe.
Mr.. Hoffman pointed out that we
have in the United States . single mar
ket Of 10000, 900 consumers, which has
been indispensable to the strength and
efficiency of our economy. The crea--
ton of similar, widespread, free trade
area would tend to increase European
industry and improve the economic en-
vironment Of all the peoples concerned.
In reply, Sir Stafford Cripps, British
Chancellor of the Exchequer, pointed out
that Great Britain cannot integrate her
economy with Euiope's lin any manner
that would prejudice the full discharge
Of her responsibilities as leader Of the
British Commonwealth and the sterling
area. He approved regional areas of freer
trade, such as that which the French have
proposed, to include France, Italy, Bel
gium and Luxembourg, but with the. warns
ing that Britain cannot join such a group.
In brief, Mr. Stafford approved the
Indignation doctrine so far as it applies to
Continental monetary blocs but reserved
decision as to British inclusion in the
single market advocated by Mr.. Hoffman
Pointing out that Great Britain re-
garded herself as bound up with West
ern Europe" economically, strategically,
politically and culturally. the British
Chancellor added that his country would
help in the closer economic indignation
Of region into which we do not enter
The British official stressed the extra
European position of the British Empire
which naturally set limits to participa-
ton even in European coopedation>
The French Foreign Minister, Robert
Schuman, promised total adhesion" to
the principles outlined by Mr., Hoffman,
saying: I'VE have interests outside Eu-
rope but this does not lead us ito renounce
our obligations to Europe, Of which we
are an essential part. y
Back of Mr.. Hoffman S suggestion was
the implied warning that the Congress
of the United States might not approE
pirate additional funds for economic CO.
operation unless the beneficiary countries
show willingness to take the drastic
steps necessary to improve their economic
and social conditions. His proposal is not
tied to any suggestion that the United
States open its market to such regional
area but it should be perfectly obvious
that if successful regional free trade areas
operate, the day will eventually come
when the next step will be taken.

!. MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES

In l94s, there We're 1.8O2S95 mar
riages in the United States and approx
stately 100000 divorces according to the
- LIS. Public Health Service.
It appears that marriages decreased
about one-tenth from the 1947 figures and
1nAlife than ohe-fifth from the 1916 record
Divorce totals also dropped, the 1913 and
innate being one-eighth below l947 and
one-third less than 1916.
- We know of no necessary comment on
:. 1he- above figures. Apparently, there
were nearly 3,6O5,790 who decided, in
1913, that they could not live apart and
....sbaut 100000 others that decided that
they could not live together.
We have seldom met a man who didn't
have the solution to one or more Of the ma
...JiOu's pressing problems.

nine sisters responded with their
hard earned dollars-telling in

2. J. Lewes honorable mention.
Dollars kept coming in for several
meetings until the amount rose to
over $1O0. The brothers, not to be
outdone by the sisters, decided they
would have a $500 day-the re-
turns to be made on Rally Day in
October. Later some of the sisters,
feeling sorry for the brothers sug-
gested it be made S100 instead of

bazaars, suppers, bakes were held
there until July 2S, 1921, when fire
destroyed our building and con-
tents and Milford Grange was with
out a home.
Mr.. Howe was Master for three
years and was followed by A. B.
Peet, who served two years and
later two more. Mr.. Peet's first
term was followed by Mr.. Lemex.
who served three terms-from 1915
to 1919. He was followed by Mr.. E..
J. Lewis, who served two terms;
then Mr.. Peet his later term. It
was during the last term of Mr..
Peets administration that our fire
occurred.
Being without a home the order
of "Owls" offered the use of their
Hall as long as necessary for our
meetings-with a special room to
store Grange property.
Talk of rebuilding soon became
the topic of each meeting. The
minutes of August 6, 1921, give us
this resolution: That Milford
Grange authorized it's Board of Di-
rectors to dispose of its present
site to the best possible advantage
and proceed to purchase a more de-
sirable site on which to erect a
new building.
A few weeks later, Mr.. Peet re.
ported that the Directors had sold
the old Hall and grounds and pur-
chased a lot on South Second
/ Street. He also stated they haC
gone a little further and asked Mr.
Hagar to rough sketch plans 'fol
our new Hall. Three plans weru
submitted. Much discussion follow
ed and it was decided by vote o
35 to l that we postpone action a
the present time.
We needed a Building Committee
and it was suggested that ther
should be some sisters on it. Nam
were called, but all refused tt
serve.
Early in April, 1922, a permi
from the town was procured t
erect a Grange Hall and so tn
work started. Unless my memor
fails me, the Brothers came wit
shovels, spades and teams to hel
get the work started by digging tn
cellar.

Neither have we been content to
stay at home. Some time about
193s-39 we started travelling, taking
a gavel to some Grange in New
Castle County, putting on a pro-
gram somewhere in Kent County,
visiting a Grange in Sussex County
and putting on the degrees or just

Truman Blasts At Communism In
 Inaugural Speech

MT. Truman listed that as one of -four major courses of action" to be stressed in coming years.
 He also called for a security pact with western Europe, which he hopes to send to the Senate "soon," and he promised to strengthen non-communist coun- tries cooperating with American security plans by providing them U. s. military advice and equip ment.
 His proposed new program for improving conditions in the areas which might offer a breeding place for communism amounted to a call for new front in the cold war. In this endeavor the cooper ation of allied nations would be i warmly welcomed" the Presi- dent said.
 More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery" MT. Truman declared.
 Their food is inadequate They are victims of disease. Their eco- homie life and their poverty is handicap and a threat both to them and to more prosperous areas.
 To combat those conditions he proposed enlisting Amreican cap ital investments and industrial skills-plus any assistance which might come from other sources.
 Our aim," he said, should be to help the free peoples of the world, through their own efforts, to produce more food, more cloth ing, more materials for housing, and more mechanical power to tighten their burdens. We invite other countries to pool their tech nological resources.
 The Truman plan for world bet terment constituted the only new point in the Presidents four main courses of foreign policy action. Under the other three this nation would:
 1. Continue ''unfaltering sup port ot the United Nations" and search for ways to strengthen it.
 ?. Continue programs for world ! economic recovery first, through the European recovery program, second by increasing world trade.
 3. Strengthen freedom loving nations against the dangers of ag- gression.
 4. MT. Truman flatly promised: We will provide military advice and equipment to free nations which will cooperate with us in the maintenance of peace and se- curity."
 While the President nowhere named Russia outright in his Scathlng attack on communism, his words apparently ended any possibility of quick and easy com promise between the Soviet Union and the west
 But "in due time," he said, he believes those countries which now oppose us will abandon their delusions and join with the free, nations of the world in just set clement of international differ ences."
 1 That he does not consider such a settlement possible now he made clear at the very offset. The
