Beyond doubt the main objec-
tive of point four is the rapid
development of the vast resour-
ces Of Africa. Money will go into
South America and Asia, but most
of it will flow into Africa for it
is in this vast and rich land that.
Europe stands to gain most.
through economic development.
Asia is too much of a risk and
South American nations will i'm
pose too many political and eco
nomic restrictions. Africa with
her $50 million Negroes is the
least developed, and presents few
political and commercial obstacles
at least for the present.
The questions which thoughtful
Negroes might consider are: What
contribution can we make to AT
rica's development? How can we
speed up the slow trend toward
self government for African Ne
groes in the face of heavy for
eign investment? Will the inter-
est of the people be suppressed
in order to boost profits for for
eign investors?
These questions concern every
American, Negro and white for
on them depends the outlook for
Negro equality and world demo-
cracy.

Truman's Foreign Policy

truman 8 FOFclgn OllCy
Persons close to- the US State
department have passed along the
information that the department
had sound political reasons for
excluding Liberia and Ethiopia
from the Marshall plan.
The Marshall Plan, I am in
formed, has the sole purpose of
aiding European recovery as the
first step in preventing the spread
of Communism in Europe. The
fact that most of the worlds
Negro population is in some way
included in the plan results from
the fact that their political and
economic affairs are controlled by
various European powers. For
this same reason no independent
Negro nation is included.
1t should be stated in all fair
ness, that the millions of Negroes
in Africa and the West Indies
as we'll as those in the US are
under the Marshall plan only in
directly and not necessarily for
their own good. All of us r in
the plan primarily for the good,
the comfort and the convenience
of the peoples of Europe. Respon-
sible officials in the various Mar
shall Plan governments have ad-
mitted this.
Does this mean that the Truman
administration is interested in
Negroes and other darkskinned
persons only to the extent that
they can be used for the benefit
of white persons in Europe?
With reference to this point at
tention is pointed to the fourth
point off Mr.. Truman's inaugural
address.
The President stated in the now
famous fourth point that he was
in favor Of using American tech
nical knowledge, skills and other
resources for the Improvement
and growth of undeveloped areas"
Mr.. Truman felt that the Geo.
nomic development of Latin
America, theWest Indies, Africa
and vast lands in Asia would not
only improve the conditions of life
but would create ever expanding
markets for world traed. He in.
dicated that both governmental and
private capital would be available
for this great venture of the goth
century.
This was no mere wish on the
part of Mr.. Truman. The state
department is now putting the fin
ishing touches on plans to put
point four into effect. Of course
the department is not drawing uI
a global Marshall Plan. The
American taxpayer would not
stand for another such plan
Private capital seems to be in
plentiful supply and some of il

When I mentioned the chest x-ray,
Mrs. Gordon looked alarmed and
asked me if I thought she had

step in searching out tuberculosis.
There + a number of additional
tests and examinations that are
made before a definite diagnosis
of tuberculosis is possible"
The woman looked at my x-ray
machine curiously. "Then what is
the point in getting a chest x-ray,
doctor?" she said.
"We could consider the x-ray a
very. alert detective" l told her.
"You see, Mrs. Gordon, when tu-
berculosis first attacks a person,
there are no findings that we can
see plainly with the naked eye,
or detect with a stethoscope. But
the destructive work of tubercu-
losis germs can be detected by
the sharp eye of the x-ray."

THE ROAD
TO HEALTH
By Roderick Brown, M. D.

When Mary Gordon first visited
my office a few years ago, we
were complete strangers. She and
her husband were newcomers to
our town, having moved from an
other state when Mr.. Gordon got
a good job in the vicinity.
Mr.. Gordon had been worried
because his wife had lost weight
in recent weeks and seemed un-
usually tired. When he had first
urged her to see a doctor, she had
replied that they were new in
town and didn't know a physician.
One day he asked a fellow work
er about a doctor. That evening
he came home with the news that
a doctor lived nearby and insisted
on her coming over right after
dinner.

The Labor View
BY George F. McCray for AMP

The Truman administration is
not making much progress in over
coming the resistance to, and down
right sabotage of his legislative
program by Republicans and
southern Democrats. So strong is
the opposition to the labor and
civil rights programs that admin
istration forces have not risked a
showdown Of any Importance.
The Truman Democrats and the
Republicans together could pass
a strong, really effective anti
filibuster rule in the senate. Such
a move would guarantee the pas
sage of laws against poll taxes,
lynching, segregation in travel,
andjob discrimination. But neither
the northern Democrats nor the
Republicans want to fight it out
with the south. Each group wants
the aid of southern senator's and
representatives to help it defeat
the other group.
And all that the south is de-
handing is more restrictions on
Negroes and labor. To get these
things, southern congressman, with
n or two exceptions, are willing
to playball with any type of Re-
publican or Democrat. So far they
are having things pretty much as
they want them in Washington. AS
these three groups jockeyed, and
Unanswered in congress last week.
the administration announced pro-
posals for extending the social Sc
curity program.
Of particular interest to mil
lions of NNegro workers is the
proposal to bring domestics and
agricultural workers under the
coverage Of the social security
program. If the provisions of the
law are actually drawn in such a
way as to cover at least the great
majority of farm workers and do
mestics, it will provide badly need
ed protection to the Negro popu-
lation.
For nearly five years now Ne
gro workers have found it COM
paratively easy to escape" from
domestic service and farm labor.
However, as unemployment rises
above the three million mark, en-
ployers in many shops and fac
tories are reviving their old pat
terms of racial discrimination. AS
a result, tens of thousands of Ne
groes are being driven back into
agriculture and domestic and per-
sonal service. And in these occu-
pations, wages are far below the
rs cents now being considered as
the desirable national minimum
wage.

At least one problem the District
didn't have in 194S was bank rob-
berries.
The Capital shared honors with
II States in escaping violations of
the Federal Bank Robbery Act, Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation Chief
j. Edgar Hoover reported today.
No Washington bank has been
robbed since 1916, although there
was one unsuccessful holdup at
tempt at the Riggs National Bank
in December, l947, FBI records
show.
There were three bank thefts in
1916, however. In the largest, $44,-
900 was taken from the Liberty
National Bank. The crime still is
unsolved, the FBI said.
The last spectacular holdup was
on March 80, l945, when gunmen
robbed two messengers for the Ma
tional Bank Of Washington of over
$4,000 at Seventh and C streets
NV. Two men were apprehended
and imprisoned in this case.
California had the worst record
