FLASH! SELF-HELP RECOMMENDED

A group of men, composing the Middle East Econo- mic Survey Commission have just presented report to
 the United Naons disclosing that they had reached the basic decision that what the Arab East needs is self help and judcious aid limited scale, not a linn ited scale not great amount of dollars
 This to be sensible conclusion. It might have application to other areas of the world where self help is not being stressed much the flow of dollars from the United States.
 While conditions in the Middle East are different from those existing in the European countries there be little doubt of the efficacy of selfhep for all peo pes In their anxiety get of the dollars that the United States is distributing generously throughout the world it is natural for most people to emphasize pro- posas which require cash rather than the development of circumstances through the character of their nhab itantS.

The American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the countrys largest employer recently lberazed it's non-contributory pension plan to provide minimum benefit for workers, upon retirement, of $1OO month instead of the former minimum of $50 month
 The unusual feature of the is that Joseph A. Berne president of CIO union which represents some of the Bell workers complains that the company has violated the TafHartey Act by increasing the pension while the issue is in collective bargaining It accuses the company of attempting to undermine the union and asserts that the myth of collective bargaining has been torn apart and that faction like this promotes strikes.
 In a word, the company gives to it's employees mini mum benefits in line with those provided under the Bethlehem Steel formula" which was the result of a strike Because it took this step before Mr. Berne and his associates could demand it, the labor leader flays the company and its officials.

new pressure on President Truman
to take a second look at the revived
German giant.
The pattern of restored German
dominance in Western Europe may

nothing can be done now but watch
it closely and control it. Con-
troll now is in a f1gurative handful

This control is to be transferred

Foreseen by Developments.
What has happened may have
been foreseen from successive de-
velopments, beginning Immediately
after the war with the setting up of
technical committees to plan for
Germany. Those we're infiltrated with
representatives OF big American f.
nance and industry whose connec-
tions with prewar German industry
and finance wee spelled out at the
time. Their influence continued
in the organization that was trans
posed to Germany. Some had little
apparent sympathy with our Gov
ernment's policy of breaking up the
German cartels, one of our pledged
war aims, and that has virtually
been abandoned.
Big business influence has con-
tinued in development of ECA plans

The ties between the Soviet and
the nations directly under its DOM

ernments were installed in Poland,
Bulgaria, Romania, CZechoslovakia
and Hungary economic agreements
were put into effect.
The most important feature of
these complex agreements was that
Russia got 81 per cent control in
all industries in the satellite coun-
tries. The nationalized banks con-
tinued their limited relationship
with the outside world only through
Moscow and their export and i'm
port policies were controlled just
as strictly by the Kremlin.

was awaiting action from Under

removal from the reparations list
of still more steel plants and re-
storing them for production to Ger

pand Germany's steel capacity. The

The Humphrey report offers Pres
ident Truman an opportunity to
denote a new direction on German
policy. Though not a great many
plants proportionately are involved,
he is being urged to reject it. Both
Britain and France are growing
anxious about the scope Of German
rebuilding, which is of concern to
them, both from the standpoint Of
defense and economically in their
own struggles for recovery.
This would seem to be Q good
time, before 1t is too late, to re-
view and, If necessary, recast our
German policy so that a program to
make Germany self SUFFICIENT and
helpful to the general European
economy does not run wild into
something dangerous. Advocates
of strong Germany" who have
been most effective, have been as
sisted by other developments that
also have conveniently diverted
public attention.
Foremost, of course, is Russia.
Her tactics have given ammunition
to those who would rebuild Ger
many as bulwark against Russia,
as was done after World War I,
but with no guarantee that a re-
vived Germany will be on the side
of the Western Powers, her tradi-
tional enemies. A diverting factor
Is the argument that building up
Germany will take her off the
taxpayers back which
sounds fine until you consider what
the American taxpayer might get
on his back in exchange, q re-
stored Germany again ready for
war. Also the squabbling among
the war allies has been capitalized
cleverly by Germany to play them
of against each other to her gain.
