Britain TO Cut Imports
26 Per Cent in Move
To Ha|ve Dollar Drain
White Paper Says Hope
Of Progress Is Based
On Marshall Aid :,
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 28.-Britain' s
shaky Labor Government today
ordered another dose of austerity
further cuts in purchases from
the United States and other dollar
countries-to cure the Nation s
continuing economic ills.
Plans were outlined to cut Brit
aims estimated dollar drain in half
in 1850 by drastic 26 per cent
slash in imports from hard
currency countries principally
America.
The government at the same
time called on Britons to work
harder and more efficiently for the
same wages. Exports to earn dol
lars must be pressed harder than
ever.
An economic survey for the
coming year, issued by the govern
ment today as a white paper, de-
clared the continuance of Mar
shall aid though on diminishing
scale" was the basic assumption
on which the hope of progress is
based.
In a sober evaluation of what
lies ahead for Britain. the survey
declared that an unfavorable dol
lar balance will remain her most
vexing problem "for many years
ahead"
The white paper held out hope
that. boost of f200 million ($56C
million) in exports would balance
Britain's trade with all other
countries.
But the most that can be ex-
pected is that the gold and dollar
deficit of the sterling area will
sink to $785 million in 1850 as
compared to the 1949 deficit OF
81, ,531 100000, the survey said.
This would be accomplished by
restricting imports from dollar
areas to s1.18O,OOO, ,00O-a drop OF
about 26 per cent from last years
1896, 100000.
At the same time it is hoped
that Britain can boost her ex-
ports to hard currency countries
from $652 million to $720 million

sons for his resignation, saying

to release the letter. he will do so. y
Asked whether the letter dealt
with operations of the Commerce
Department, he said he did not
feel at liberty to disclose" any
thing in it.
Wants to Return to Business.
But he recalled he had been
away from his numerous business
interests for seven of the last
nine years''-since he entered the
Air Force in 1941. He said he
would like to "get a rest" and re-
turn to his business activities.
Mr.. Whitney was named Under

Churchill Declares
War Is Not Imminent,
Points 10 Deterrents
Also Denies New Conflict
Is Inevitable and Uraes
Eost-West Meetings
By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Mar. 28.-Winston
Churchill said today he does not
believe war is either imminent OF
inevitable.
Opening foreign affairs debate
in the House of Commons, the
Conservative leader said:
There never was a time when
the deterrents against war were
so strong.
Another World War would be-
gin by both sides suffering as the
first step what they dread most.
Neither side could prevent the
fearful cataclysms which would
mark the opening Of another war"
Answers Attlee's Criticism.
Mr.. Churchill bridled at Prime
Minister Clement Attlee's criticism
of his recent statement that Ger
many was essential to the defense
OF Western Europe.
Il see no reason why the Ger
mans should not aid in the defense
of their own country and of West
ern Europe" he said. There can
be no hope of a united Europe
without Germany and there is no
hope for Germany except within a
free and united Europe"
Mr.. Churchill said France and
Britain could combine together
and bring Germany to equal rank
and lasting association with
them"
These three countries, forget
ting present feuds and horrible
deeds and tragedies of the past,
can make the core or nucleus up
on which all the other civilized
democracies of Europe can one
day rally and combine" he de-
clared.
Again Asks Parleys.
Turning again to his repeated
proposals for new East West
meetings, Mr.. Churchill said:
Il feel that we owe it to our
conscience that no door should be
closed which might lead to better
prospects.
THE democracies of the West
must be constantly convinced that
those who lead them do not
despair of peace.
If there is a breathing space
as I feel there is, I do not hest
tate to say it would be a grave
mistake, perhaps a fatal mistake,
to suppose that it will last for
ever or even last for more than
a few years"
In his only reference to the
atomic bomb, Mr.. Churchill de-
clared it lis only one of the fac
tors of the military situation be-
fore us but it is the dominant
factor"

Hanson Challenges
Mccarthy 10 Repeat
Red Charge Outside
State Department Aide
Dores Senator to Give
Him Chance to Sue

Haldore Hanson of the State
Department today challenged SEN
ator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin to repeat without con-
gressional immunity charges that
he has "pro-Communist pro-
clivities" and is a man with "a
mission to communize the world" !"
MI. Hanson gave the challenge
in testifying before Senate For
eign Relations subcommittee in
vestigating Senator McCarthy's
charges that Communists and fell
low travellers have been employed
in the State Department.
IF Senator Mccarthy will say
directly what he has insinuated,
Mr.. Hanson said, IF he will call
me a Communist in that kind of
direct American English which
Midwesterners are accustomed to
using, and say it without the bene-
fit of senatorial immunity. assure
him that he will be called upon to
answer to me in a court OF justice
at the earliest practicable mo-
ment"
Resents Attack on Loyalty.
Mr.. Hanson, who is connected
with a State Department staff
handling President Truman's
Point -Four program, said con-
gressional immunity may protect
Senator Mccarthy from a lawsuit,
but "it will not save him from
moral accountability"
Mr.. Hanson said Communist"
is "the nastiest word in the Amer
ican vocabulary today and that it
makes no difference whether the
word is qualified by saying a man
has "pro-Communist proclivities." 7"
They all mean. he added, that "he
is the dirtiest, lowest type Of man. )"
II deeply resent this attack
upon my loyalty" Mr.. Hanson tes-
tilted. Il wish to state now, under
oath, that I am not a Commu-
mist. I never have been a Com
munist. I have never belonged to
an organization cited by the At
torney General as being Com
munist-front organization. I have
never knowingly associated with
an espionage agent of foreign
power. I have never advocated
the Communist form of govern
ment anywhere at any time, for
any people. I have never COM
mitted any act which was dis
loyal to the United States"
