Beviin Supports
Truman Plan Of
.orId.WideAid
Calls Non-Reds to
Join in Helping
Backward Areas
BY the Associoied Press

LONDON, Jan. 25.-British
Foreign Secretary Bevin urged
the Communist nations of
the world today to join with the
United States In President Tru-
mans plan to develop the back
ward areas of the world.
The Foreign Secretary compared
the Presidents inaugural speech, in
which the proposal was made, to the
address of former Secretary of State
Marshall at Harvard, June S, l947,
when the Marshall Plan was born.
Speaking of the Marshall Plan,
Mr.. Bevin chided Russia for her op-
position to it and sought to calm any
fear that she might have that Amer
ican Aid would be used to build a
force to defeat the Soviet Union.
Mr.. Bevin's remarks followed Mos
cows disclosure that the Soviet Un-
ion and five of its satellite states had
organized a Council of Economic
Mutual Assistance" obviously an
answer to the Marshall Plan.
The Foreign Secretary addressed
"a luncheon meeting of the Foreign
Press Association.
Argument Held Futile.
Argument is not the answer to
Communism" Mr.. Bevin said. "A
good standard OF life and happiness
is the greatest contribution we can
make to answering Communism.
Mr.. Bevin asked anti Communist
countries to pool scientific resources
and abilities, productivity and tech
nical knowledge Ito achieve higher
living standards and higher happi-
ness standards for undeveloped peo-
pies" He said Britain is ready to do
her part in any plan which might
be worked out.
Mr.. Bevin said It is his idea that
the political Transformation of back
ward parts of the world must be
accompanied by economic develop
ment.
Somehow the benefit of our civil
ization has not been reflected in
raised standards for the masses Of
the world-it has merely made a
few very wealthy" he said. Il want
all these people to free themselves
from disease, to eliminate unhap-
piness, to become better, freer people.
That Is why I warmly welcome
President Truman's statement"
Soviet Union Criticized.
The Foreign Secretary criticized
the Soviet Union.
Il was extremely sorry" he said,
that the Russians could not see or
seize the opportunity that the
Marshall Plan and the subsequent
development of European group
offered to the peace of the world.
They seem to assume that all we
were doing was trying to create a
kind of barrier or a means in which
he could build force to defeat the
Soviet government some day in the
future
Now I assert with all the SOL
emnity that I have in mind, that
has never entered our heads"
Objective Stated.
Mr.. Bevin continued:
Our one object was to give hap
piness, contentment and a decent
standard of life to the masses of
Europe who had suffered from the

Republicans Threaten
To Rewrite Taft Law
Repeater on Floor
Aneered by Democrats
Decision to Speed Up
Committee Action

Senate Democrats called for
speed today in repeating the
Taft Hartley Act, but angered
Republicans threatened to re-
write the whole measure on the
Senate floor.
Democrats of the Senate Labor
Committee held their lines solid in
setting a February 10 deadine for
concluding hearings on a substitute
labor bill for the Taft Hartley Act
which will be the old Wagner Act
with improvements" such as sug-
gested by President Truman. The
hearings are to begin Friday.
Speaker Rayburn said labor leg
islation was included in the general
discussion which he and other pres
idential advisers had with President
Truman today. He reiterated his
stand favoring the one-package ap-
proach to the labor problem-Taft-
Hartley repeal accompanied by
restoration of the Wagner Act with
amendments. With Mr.. Rayburn at
the White House were Vice Presi-
dent Barkley, Senate Majority Lea
der Lucas and House Leader
Mccormack.
One of the five Republican Sem
ators who opposed the eight COM
mittee Democrats in the call for
labor law speed, Senator Morse OF
Oregon. warned that the Republi-
cans will have their day before the
full Senate. He favors Taft-Hartley
repeal but only after full hearings

Taft Backs
Trade Act Changes
Asked by Truman
Senator'S Brother Urges
Repeal of Republican
Limitations in Law
BY the Assoeiated Press

Charles P. Taft, brother of
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio today Endorsed repeal of
the Republican-sponsored 1948
tariff act.
Testifying before the House Ways
and Means Committee, Mr.. Taft
said he favored a return to the pre-
1948 reciprocal trade law as proposed
by President Truman.
Mr.. Truman called for such action
in letter filed with the committee
yesterday. The House group is
holding hearings on the request.
Mr.. Taft is president of the Fed
eral Churches of Christ in America.
He told the committee the 194S tariff
act went too far, and declared:
The reciprocal trade agreements
stand for the free enterprise sys-
tenn, however inconsistent with that
system other policies of Govern
ment during recent years have been
Recalls Nazi Trade Program.
Some opponents of the policy
have taken the position that multi
lateral trade is no longer possible
in the world Of today. and that we
should therefore adopt pattern of
bilateral closed agreements-Yan-
kee barter deals. This was the
program of the Nazis. and they GER
tainly demonstrated what it could
do to world trade"
At least one Republican lawmaker
said he will go along on a move to
restore to the President the full!
power to cut tariffs on goods i'm
ported from those nations which
agree to do the same for American
imports.
Democrats Unanimous.
The 1948 revisions which Mr.. Tru-
man wants repealed required him
to explain to Congress If he lowered
a tariff against the advice of the
Federal Tariff Commission.
Representative Mills, Democrat.
of Arkansas, committee member,
told reporters Democrats appear
virtually unanimous in supporting
the President on the issue
But while Representative Kean
of New Jersey, Republican ynen,-
ber, said ne also expects to support
the bill, most committee Repub-
licans apparently were ready to do
battle on the tariff issue which has
been a traditional subject of dispute
between the two parties.

Citizens of Israel voted today in
the Jewish states first elections.

about 10000 Arabs expected to par

will draft the states constitution,

present provisional regime, chart a
