in harmony with economic trends
that became too pronounced to be
longer ignored.
The message does not try to
accomplish much beyond that
limited objective. The 11-point
program which it suggests con-
tains nothing very new or start
ling; it also requires congressional
action, not all of it likely to be
forthcoming. It does make the
Truman record look better, how
ever, as the so elections approach.
Fair Dealers Encouraged.
Fair Deal Democrats headed by
Senator Murray Of Montana are
now encouraged to go ahead with
their Economic Expansion Act
which contains really drastic pro-
posals for full employment and
expanded production. These con-
stitute a field into which the
President might later move if and
when unemployment worsens; he
is cagily avoiding it now.
There is not in fact any evi-
dence yet that the White House
plans any great drive toward
enactment Of all the II points.
They appear to be satisfied to
have them on the record. Some
Senators feel the smart thing to
do would be to give them to the

President forthwith but they
guess they are in minority.
Congress, whose occupational
disease is timidity, reacted happily
to the great big aspirin tablet
handed them in the form Of the
Presidents willingness to accept
responsibility for deficit financing
in peacetime. Their buck fever
on that subject has been evi-
denced by their efforts to pass
the economy buck to the White
House.
Storm Warning.
One Presidential caller Monday
from Capitol Hill has come away
with storm warnings. however. He
found the President calm enough
about the economic situation and
Congressional reaction to his views
on it but not calm at all over
the trend in the Senate toward
playing down military aid for
Europe.
The President declared that
the arms program was imperative
and that he would expect his
party to support 1t absolutely. He
said that the United States would
be disgraced in Europe if the arms
program were allowed to drift.
There has been no trace OF this
attitude in State Department as
surances to Senators nor in the
arguments put forward by Sena-
tors Oonnally and Vandenberg
who are steering the legislation.
It appears to put the President
and Senator Taft in the same
camp; Senator Taft having an
nounced now that he will vote
against the Atlantic Pact because
he believes it binds this country
to arm Western Europe. Both
men are in fact unusually frank
for politicians.
Cabined and confined In
cramped quarters and obviously
determined not to add anything
very considerable to its feeble
record Of accomplishment, Con-
gress has been drifting rather
listlessly toward adjournment. A
determined Presidential stand on
arms aid might change that.

This Changing World
Britain to 'Muddle Through Crisis
For 6ODays Before Asking u. S. Aid

Ia policy Of barter with those
nations which possess the raw
materials Britain needs.
Thus, on June 26 the British
government signed a new trade
agreement with Spain providing
for exchange of goods amounting
to 1920 100000 in the year ending
June 80, 1850. This agreement
provides that Spain will supply
Britain with dried and fresh
fruits. copper and other surplus
raw materials in exchange for
coal, farm implements, tractors
and electric turbines needed by
Spain's agriculture and industry.
Negotiations to increase the
amount of the British-Spanish
trade in the next few months are
under way.
Similarly, Britain at present is
negotiating with Moscow for a
trade agreement-alSo based on
barter-covering many more raw
materials than was disclosed last
week in London in connection
with Britain's deal to get 1000, 900
tons Of Russian coarse grains.
Refuses Demand for Jets.
The difficulties which British
representatives encounter in Mos
COW are that the Soviet govern
ment is highly selective in the in
dustrial equipment it requests.
London is willing to barter hydro
electric turbines, railway equip
ment and other such products for
raw materials. But in keeping
with its foreign policy it has
turned down so far all demands
for jet plane motors-a field in
which British industry excels-
and other manufactured materials
which the British and American
general stats consider to be active
or potential war materials.
Negotiations are easier with
YugOSlavla, the only country be-
hind the Iron Curtain which acts
independently of Moscow now.
The Yugoslavs now are in a po-
sition to provide for export not
only copper but also a substantial
quantity of food. Some of the
products they de-
mand in exchange are definitely
military in character. But in view
of the tension which has existed
for more than a year between
Moscow and Belgrade military
leaders in the United States and
Western Europe withdrew their
opposition to the rearming of
Marshal Tito's forces.
There is some hope that these
barter agreements may improve
the situation sufficiently to enable
the British government to con-
tinue its present precarious eco
nomic policies with only limited
help from America.

also awaken the D'fo'"'
attention of the American tax
payer to insanities committed at
his cost.
Whether Germany eventually
turns East or West will determine
the fate of Europe and the issue
of war and peace. We certainly
cannot afford continued psyche
logical blunders.
No measure taken by the West
ern Allies has had a worse psy-
Geological effect than the resump-
ton of dismantling four years
after the war. AS the Commu-
nists triumphantly point out to
their compatriots. this Is in fiat
contradiction to the Potsdam
agreement which specifically
promised that dismantling would
cease by october, 1947.
Worst Policy Imaginable.
The continuance Of wanton de-
struction in the midst Of a wild
erness Of ruins was, in the
beginning, the worst peace policy
imaginable. To begin it again
now is unbearable to any rational
mentality, especially as the theory
that these industries would be
transferred" to operate elsewhere
in Europe has never been proved
to the German people.
Dismantling is not something
that can be hidden. In the Ruhr
you can see foundations and bits
Of walls Of buildings that show
no trace Of fire or explosion. These
buildings were not destroyed by
bombs. They were taken down
brick by brick and shipped. in
some cases, hundreds Of miles in
fleets Of railroad wagons, using
labor, coal and money enough to
put up brand-new factories.
Nobody believes that neighbor-
ing countries or Czechoslovakis
are going to rebuild factories OF
chipped. broken, and cement
encrusted brick. This has not
stopped. Among tho factories te

whose receivers claim walls and

agreement of the jury in the
hearing just concluded. since the
Government properly proposes to
try the case again.
In this situation some members
of the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee are seeking to
have that committee intervene.
They would not only try Mr.. Hiss
again. in their own way. but they
would try the judge who presided
over the first hearing. Disap-
pointed because the jury failed to
convict the accused man, they are
publicly blaming the judge and
challenging "his fitness to serve
on the bench"
Rulings in Good Faith.
They are particularly angry be-
cause the judge ruled inadmis-
sible certain evidence the Gov
ernment attorneys wished to
present. This ruling could hardly
have been made lightly. It was
made with the knowledge that
every step in the case was being
followed closely by the American
bar and that If he, the Judge,
ruled contrary to general legal
opinion he was off to a bad start
in his career on the Federal bench
to which he had only recently
been appointed. It was made, in
any case, after the Judge had
heard extensive argument on the
point and the judge is entitled to
the presumption that it was made
in good faith.

Any policy to be successful must
be supportable in reason. Other
wise the German - and any
rational visitor - feels that he
lives in an insane asylum. 1t is
sense to compel the Germans to
contribute to the reconstruction
Of Europe. It is not sense to ccm-
pei them further to contribute to
its scrap piles.
Few Obvious Facts.
Sooner or later everybody will
have to recognize few obvious
facts. The result Of the Paris
conference is that Germany re-
mains divided. The result of the
unilateral Polish and Russian ac-
ton at the wars end means that
nearly a fourth Of Germany's pre-
Hitler land is permanently lost.
And as long as the division exists
Western Germany constitutes only
half the territory of pre-Hitler
Germany, and into this have fled
or been deported some 5000 600
extra souls, all destitute. making
half Of pre-Hitler Germany sup
port five-sevenths Of its pre-
Hitler population. Whereas in
1896 Germany had 40 persons
per square kilometer Of territory,
she has more than 200 in 1949.
Under these conditions Germany
can approach her pre-Hitler level
of prosperity only by Cd greatly
increasing and intensifying both
her industrial and agricultural
production-the latter being i'm
possible on any vast scale, or CD
providing for the wholesale emf
grafton Of some 100000 or 7,000,-
900 Germans, or 90 keeping Ger
many forever on American relief.
The offer Of the Ruhr indus
trialists makes it possible for the
Western Allies to reverse the false
policy they took last April. And
the sooner they do so the better.
