(By Jewish TeIegTaphic Agency, IncJ
The scene the other week at which President
Truman was guest at dinner honoring Eddie
jacobson of Kansas City reflected something which
could only have happened in the United States
Eddie and Harry had been business partners
together. They had been haberdashers. One of
them had risen to be President of the United States
Such things, believe, happen more often in Ameri-
ca, and America is the more beautiful for it.
But there is another part of the picture. Eddie
and Harry are Jewish and non Jewish, respectively.
But that seems to make no difference to them.
There are many anti-Semites who would try to
make you believe that the chasm between Jew and
non-Jew is an impossible one, that the two cannot
live together, much less work together Yet Eddie
and Harry went into business together
Then along comes the first World War and Eddie
and Harry close their shirt business and go to war

Senate Should Make Haste
Slowly

News stories in the daily press this week
would attempt to reassure the American peo-
pie that ratification of the Atlantic Military
Alliance by two-thirds of the senate would
in no wise commit this country in case of a
future war without approval of the senate
serving at such a time.
Such may be the case, but after careful
reading of numerous press accounts, and
quotes from the proposed pact at least two
conclusions can be drawn:
1. The proposed pact isn't worth the pa
per it is written on and is designed primarily
as a tactical move by America in the ''war
of nerves, or
2. The real significance of these news
stories and quotes is what is left unsaid
Take for example the content of the much
debated article five of the pact. | quote:
"The parties agree that an armed at
tack against one or more of them in Europe
or North America shall be considered an
attack against them all; and consequently
they agree that, if such an armed attack
occurs, each of them, in exercise of the
right of individual or collective self de-
Tense recognized by article 81 of the char
ter of the United Nations, will assist the
party or parties so attacked by taking
forthwith individually and in concert with
the other parties, such action as it deems
necessary, including the use of armed
force, to restore and maintain the security
of the north Atlantic area. Emphasis, Ed

Commerce. Wednesday, March z, l949
Before long, federal government will have a
blueprint of its proposed world development program
sequel to the Marshall plan, and intended as basic
u. S. international policy
For the past two months, the State Department
has been working quietly a draft, comforting pr-
vately with business economists and government pol
icy makers.
During this back-stage interim, members of
the public have grown queruous about the Presidents
brief and cryptic reference to such plan in his in
augural address. AS in the of the Marshall
Plan, the announcement before concrete plan
ready.
This procedure has begotten suspicion. And the
natural dislike of Americans for being the goats in
any il-considered international 'giveaway program
has heightened the atmosphere of antagonsm to the
unannounced plan.
Still, the plans parentage and the circumstances
of its birth should not prejudice its consideration.
Even if it is proposed by the administration in spirit
of political partisanshp the nation cannot afford to
consider it wholly in such light.
For the United States, like it not is in posi-
ton in the world which demands that its foreign trade
policy be carefully thought out. In trade and in
dustry occupy the position that Britain did in
the 10Th century
The United States must be an imperialist, if it is
to do its world job properly imperialism" has be-
come nasty word, of course but the facts and the

US. MUST ACCEPT new WORLD ROLE AS 1hPERIALIST' !.

In ABC's the facts these The United States
can produce than its present capacity to con-
sumo. Increased consumption at home will sop up
some of this excess but still will remain
We sell this excess abroad. And since the rest
of the world is up standard of production
we must decide what to take in payment We can
let the deficit stand as debt which probably would
never be paid Grand this is where Imperialism
comes in take ownership of properties
throughout the world, and help to them.
AS In Venezuela and Peru?
And if we do this, we shall have to cooperate with
our own government and foreign governments to
range the political weather under which American
ownership abroad will be carried out
This is not exactly like the older style British
Imperialism which frequently dsregarded the rights
of the countries in which Britain traded But rather
than shrinking in fear from the word, imperialism
would do better to meet it head-on and make a
virtue of it. Let distinguish between Russian
''despotc Imperialism" and American democratic i'm
perialism.
Since going to be stuck with the role of
the imperiast, let's dramatic the imperialism

would seem to permit an out for future
senate should the question of declaring war
come up but, does it? Remember, this mill
tary alliance is for 20 years and requires
two-thirds vote of the senate for ratification,
and is the same as any other treaty that our
government might enter into. And, despite
that purported "out'', the entering into any
such agreement presupposes that it is the
purpose of this government to honor its con-
tents. Stated another way, treaties, like con-
tracts are ordinarily considered to be binding
on all parties involved for whatever the
length of time that is involved
Thus, though paper there is a saving
clause for each signatory to the alliance,
should war come and any one of the sigma
tories fail to honor the pact's portent, the
world would again be faced with the "scrap
of paper type of diplomacy that character
lied the German government in the last two
wars. Should subsequent senate of the
United States do other than honor the agree
ment by coming to the aid of any other
member of the alliance, in the eyes of the
world our country would have failed to live
up to its solemn obligations contracted by the
senate of the 81st congress; would become a
fit subject for scorn and distrust in the COM
munity of nations.
1t appears that the senate of the United
States, including Senators Murray and Ecton
who have signified support of the pact
should make haste slowly in putting the seal
of approval on this alliance To do other
wise, will place this senate in the position of
determining to a great extent the action of
future senates on foreign policy In tech
meal sense ratification of the pact would not
constitute violation of the constitution-given
authority of future senates to declare war,
but, in actual practice such would be the case.
