Of President Tuons Speech Before the Newspaper Guild

in the countries where they were
carried out. These are a previeW
OF what a full-scale Point -Four
program can mean in the future
In Northern India, there is q
very rich farming area known al
the Terai district. In recent years
the malaria mosquito forced
people to leave this land. One
hundred and four villages were
abandoned. Even in the face OF
India's tragic food shortage, nc
crops were planted in this rich
soil.
India called on the World
Health Organization for help. and
that organization sent a malaria
control team which arrived in
Northern India in April. 1949. In
the face of great difficulties this
international group sprayed the
area with DDT.
DDT Did Job in India.
Today. a year later, no infected
mosquito is to be found in any
village in the Terai district. Local
workers have been trained to con-
tinue the spraying. Families who
were refugees from malaria only
one year ago are back in their
homes and their fields are green
again.
This demonstrates how a simple
program can make tremendous
improvements in a short time.
Let me give you another ex-
ample of what Point -Four can
mean; this one in Iran. This
story concerns not an interna-
tional organization, but one of
our American voluntary groups,
the Near East Foundation.
Four years ago. the Govern
ment of Iran asked the Founda-
ton to set up a demonstration
project in a group of IS villages
not far from the capital at Teh-
ran. The Foundation brought viii
lage leaders to series of training
courses. It won their confidence,
and through these leaders it be-
gan to carry out agricultural and
health improvements. The Foun-
dation met water shortage by
drilling deep wells. 1t overcame
water-borne diseases with an in
water filter. It sprayed
homes with DDT. 1t sprayed crops
with insecticides. 1t helped to
organize schools in each of the
35 villages
Iran Also Helped.
Today. only four years later,
the village people are at work in
new carpentry shops, vegetable
gardens and orchards. And, most
startling of all. the yield of grain
IN this area has tripled.
The effects Of the Near East
Foundations work are spreading
throughout Iran. This story will
be matched many times over,
under the Point Four program.
My next illustration is in the
Republic of Liberia on the west
coast of Africa. Here a United
States Government economic mis-
sion has been working since 1914
headed, incidentally, by for
mer agricultural extension agent
from Missouri. This mission III
Liberia has laid out roads. and
mapped the timber supply. and
helped to open up an iron de-
post. Agricultural technicians
have helped to expand rice pro-
duction for the local market, and
the production Of palm oil and
cocoa for export.
The effect of these steps has

will bring about q chain reaction
in economic development. It will
serve to create economic health
where poverty existed, and to
equip the people of under-de-
veloped areas to carry forward
their economic gains and preserve
their independence.
Program Under U. N.
A major share of this world
campaign to improve the liveii-
hood of peoples will be carried out
under the United Nations.
In the United Nations Charter,
each member government pledged
that it would promote solutions
Of international economic, social,
health and related problems.
At its last session, the General
Assembly voted unanimously to
support a technical assistance pro-
gram for raising the standard of
living in under-developed areas.
Two weeks ago the United Ma
tions conducted a Technical As
SiStance Conference to make plans
and to raise funds for this new
program. Fifty-four nations at
tended and so of them offered
contributions.
$40 Million Pledged.
By the end of the conference
more than $40 million had been
pledged. The United States
pledged $12 million, subject, of
course. to the appropriation of
the necessary funds by the Con-
gress. This was the largest
single contribution, but in relation
to their resources. a number Of
other nations contributed more.
The outstanding characteristic
Of this Technical Assistance Con-
ference is the fact that it DEM
onstrated clearly the common de-
sire Of the peoples of the world
to work together for human ad-
vancement. In a world dark with
apprehension. the Point Four idea
offers new hope.
All our citizens must play a
part in making the Point Four
program a success. Our mission
ary groups, our philanthropic and
charitable agencies, must continue
the efforts they have been making
over the years for the improve
ment of conditions in foreign
lands. Our young people can find
careers in the pioneering work of
bringing technical assistance to
these countries. Our unions and
our business organizations should
enlarge their foreign contacts and
bring the benefits of their ex-
perience to less developed 'coun-
tries. You newspaper men and
women can help Point Four to

achieve its aim by telling its story
to the American people and to the
people of the world.
Our Point Four program and
the work of the United Nations
are constructive ways to build the
kind Of world where all nations
can live in peaceful prosperity.
dedicated to the purpose of Gre
ating better lives for their people.
We support this program because
we seek a peaceful world. and q

I been remarkable. In one village
near Monrovia. the cash income
of the people, derived from SELL
ing rice. cocoa, and palm oil, has
increased from five dollars per
person a year to thirty-five dol
lars. since the arrival Of our eco
nomic mission.
Our mission-which has only
five Americans in it-has worked
in close cooperation with the Lii
berian government. That govern
ment already has built three new
agricultural experiment stations.
This is remarkable progress but it
is only the beginning of the eco
nomic development which Liberia
needs to become a prosperous
member of the family of nations.
These achievements I have cited
are samples of the kind of work
that needs so badly to be done in
under developed areas all over the
world.
Under the expanded Point Four
program, we can greatly enlarge
the scope Of these activities. There
are tremendous opportunities to
improve living standards for wide
areas of the globe. 1t may prove
altogether possible. for example,
through the activities Of the Food
and Agriculture Organization, to
wipe out the scourge of rinderpest,
the fatal animal disease that Is
responsible for much of the rural
poverty of the Far East. The de-
velopment of hybrid rice seed,
which the Food and Agriculture
Organization is now working on,
could conceivably increase rice
production by 10 per cent. and
improve the health and living con-
ditions in the Orient immeasur-
ably. AS an example of what hy-
brid seed can do, our corn hybrids.
where they have been used in
Italy, have increased corn produc-
ton by over rs per cent.
Transportation Needed.
Aside form these basic improve
ments in agriculture and health,
it is equally important. in many
areas, to build modern commune
cation and transportation systems
and to establish local industries.
Without these the underdeveloped
areas cannot put their natural
resources to use for their own
benefit and in profitable trade
with the rest of the world. Build
ing roads, and railroads, and fac
tories, will require considerable
amounts Of public and private
capital. To aid the flow of Amer
lean capital abroad. I have rec
commended that the Congress pro-
vide for limited guarantees to en-
courage investments overseas. I
am hopeful that this legislation
will be enacted soon.
Point Four is not now-and
should not become-a matter for
partisan differences of opinion.
However, some critics have at
tempted to ridicule Point Four as
a "do-good" measure; others have
said it is a waste of money. This
is the most foolish kind of short
sightedness. If we fail to carry
out a vigorous Point Four program
we run the risk of losing to COM
munism, by default, hundreds OF
millions of people who now look to
us for help in their struggle
against hunger and despair.
Point Four is an investment in a
peaceful and prosperous world. It
is program which will bring in
creasing results over the years. 1t

Some observers figured the ten
tative plan to call Congress back
early, which also was announced
at the conference, would give Mr..
Truman an opportunity to go be-
fore the country with a fireside
chat, if the call were issued be-
fore election.
But Mr.. Truman said fatty
that he didn't know whether the
call would come before or after
election. He wants the outgoing
Congress to have few more days
here than would be possible if
the reconvening date remained as
now fixed, for November 27.

wants the legislators to make an

Newspapers in Need
OF Sounding Board
Southern Press Told
By the Associated Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Oct. 81 Newspapers
need a sounding board" in pre-
senting their own problems, pub
fishers were told today.
Cranston Williams, general man
ager of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, cited the
need in an address to the South
ern Newspaper Publishers Asso-
cations 48th convention.
"The voice of the newspaper,
speaking individually about its
own problems, sounds small and
low many times when vital issues
are at stake" he declared.
However. a newspaper trade as
sociation such as the ANPA speaks
with voice which rings loud and
decisively in the times of crisis
Newspapers Objective.
1.-THE business of a newspaper, "
Williams said, sis to inform. its
readers-about everything that is
happening-to provide the facts
upon which to base their opin-
IONS"
Despite this ambitious standard,
he said, publishers often fail to
place their own labor problems,
financial difficulties or other wor-
ries adequately before the public.
That is one function of a news
paper trade association, he added.
A journalist given constitutional
rights to proclaim the fact"
should be imbued with a passion
for truth, DR.. Francis P. Gaines,

He said that lone of the great
advantages of the free press in
America is that every American
has the opportunity to get both
sides of every story. That is the
privilege which people of many

not take the place of practical

He declared a free press and a

Truman Tells Press
He's Sill Undecided
On Campaign Plans

President Truman's campaign
plans continued today to remain
his own secret, in the face of evil
dence that top advisers are divided
on just what he should do.
With voters going to the polls in
less than two weeks-November 7
the President would do no more
than say that he was considering
a radio talk in line with the rec

tional Chairman William M.
Boyle, jr., who would like the Pres
ident to be heard at least once,
and oftener if possible. in the few
days remaining before the SD
Congress is chosen.
The other side of the picture
is that some Democrats, according
to the Associated Press, think the
President can rest on the two
potent foreign policy speeches he
has delivered at San Francisco and
before the United Nations, since
returning from the Wake Island
