Wolf Cry Won't Help
Best Way to Combat Red Imperialism
Is BY Raising Worlds Economic Level

In our country 1t has been re-
| sponsible for the adjustments we
have made in our economy in the
last Is years and for the still
lively impulse for social reform to
improve the lot of our people and
for guarantee of civil rights to
make democracy real and vital.
Slow and Gradual Steps.
It's predominant influence in the
world at large is manifest in the
political organization that repre-
sents all of us. the United Ma
tions. There. for example, nations
have been able to agree on steps,
slow and gradual yet to be sure,
for extension of civil rights, for
removing trade barriers, for de-
velopment of under developed
areas and, most recently, for pool
ing our resources and correlating
our policies to check depressions
wherever they may arise before
they spread elsewhere. They re-
veal the best impulses of people
everywhere beyond strictly ma
tional ties. They reflect the revo-
luton in the minds and spirits of
the people of the world which has
been going on and still is going
on.
We in this country can be side
tracked in this general forward
movement if we blindly accept
tags and label change everywhere
communism" and act thought
lessly. Not only that, but we can
quickly drain our resources if, at
every cry of wolf, we must pour
out billions and provide shot and
shells. This is battle for mems
minds and spirits and it can't be
won by calling out the Navy and
the Marines and manning distant
outposts whenever other people
are trying to throw off ancient
yokes and corrupt regimes that
did little for them. It's not so
easy or simple as that. The best
way to combat communism and
Russian imperialism is by raising
the economic level, which Is the

this little town, very little town,

This Changing World
French Moves to Retain Grip on Saar
Likely to Affect American Taxpayer

tarily for a very long time simply
by the application of occupation
controls. The occupation need
not be terminated as long as there
is any real danger of revival of
German militarism.
What there is less defense
against, from the French and Brit
ish viewpoints, is a revival of Ger
many's industry and it's return
to the world market with possibly
disastrous results for French and
British industry.
All this would appear very un-
derstandable until one realizes
that the hope of bringing Ger
many back to a sound economic
condition rests primarily on the
development of it's industry and
particularly its heavy industry.
On it also depends the hope of
the American taxpayer for some
relief from the billions of dollars
which the support of a crippled
Germany is costing us.
Tribute Against Industry.
If, as reported from London,
the United States has agreed to
detach the Saar from Germany
and thus force it's heavy industry
to pay toll to some French or other
foreign authority in order to get
the coal which that industry re-
quires, that detachment must be
coupled with some means to pre-
vent the French from levying
tribute against German industry.
To lease the Saar coal mines to
the French for SO years and at
the same time to permit Paris to
fix the price for Saar coal would
go a long way to defeat the very
thing we are trying to do in Ger
many.
There is, of course, the element
Of right, which appears to have
been ignored in the whole matter
except in the statements by DR..
Konrad Adenauer, the chancellor
of Western Germany.
If there is any such thing as
economic and political right in
the foreign policies of the Western
powers some recognition must be
given to the contentious of the
Germans that the Saar is German,
belongs to Germany and should
mt tn ha dicpocod of u, oo1, ,,,o,,
short of the final peace treaty.
The manner in which the Saar
is handled can be very important
for all American citizens who pay
taxes, for if Germany is ever to
cease being an economic burden
on this country it must be self
supporting. Hampering Germany's
access to these coal mines could
delay Germany's final recovery
and our relief from burdens there
for many wears.

tered into a Sc oohs'an'ihe oF'"n'
cret agreement with Britain and
France for the separation of the
Saarland from Western Germany,
to which it historically has be-
longed.
Although the Saar always has
been German-With few inter-
ludes of foreign rule-it has long
been the source of coal for the
steel industry of Eastern France,
and it is that traditional economic
pattern which impelled France.
the occupying power in the Saar,
to integrate the Saar's economy
with it's own.
France Seeks Mine Lease.
France seeks an even stronger
hold on this source of one of its
primary materials and is under
taking now to obtain a 50-year
lease on the coal mines there, re-
gardless of what political DISPOSE
ton is made of the territory in
the German peace treaty when 1t
finally is written.
Many elements-some of them
not so creditable-enter into the
storm that RACES around this bit
of Western Germany right now.
One of these elements is the
French fear-similar to that
which dominates Britain-that a
revived German industry will be-
come a competitive factor in the
world markets, thereby under
mining French industry.
This economic fear-while not
emphasized in French arguments
on the Saar question-is actually
more deeply at the foundation of
French policy toward Germany
and its industry than is the fear
of resurrected German military
power.
The French must realize-as
almost every one else does-that
Germany can be held down mill

did I see when I went to the chill
dren's ward today? The chill
dren's ward is filled with little boys
and girls, few of whom are more
than five years old. They don't
understand what polio is all about,
but they do know about Santa
Claus.
Wanted to Cry.
I didn't cry, but I wanted to,
when I saw the little ones with
jingle bells on their braces, with
Christmas seals plastered on their
corSetS. and with smiles on their
faces as the nurses turned them
over. rubbed their little legs, and
talked to them about the happy
days that were to come.
If that is a fancy institution,
then I say let us have more of
them.
The Warm Springs staff is as
good as there is in the world, as
far as polio is concerned. The
doctors and the nurses could make
much, much more if they chose to
leave Warm Springs. But they
Evening star., 1950-01-18


millions of people think that Warm
Springs is a place devoted to the
rich. Millions believe that it is
some sort of a fashionable spa,
where only those who have money
may get treatment.
How wrong they are!
How completely wrong!
Rich and Poor Alike.
Ninety per cent of the men,
women, and children who are here
are here because of the money the
citizens of this country have given
to fight polio. Those who can pay
and they are very feW-pay, yes
they pay because they want to and
are able to pay.
But there is no distinction be-
tween the rich and the poor at
Warm Springs. A man with a mil
lion dollars can get no better room
than the patient who is here for
free. Treatment and living quar-
ters are the same for all.
The same doctors treat everyone.
They all eat the same food. They
have the same view of the blue
wrapped Georgia hills from their
windows.
1 say from my heart that never,
never, in all my experience, have
I ever seen an institution that is
run from the heart as much as is
Warm Springs.

IllcG between THIS nat1OnallSm
movement in China and Russian
imperialism.
THE upheaval in Asia" he ex-
planned" is a revolution which, if
we analyze it, we will see is
prompted by the same things that
prompted the British, French and
American Revolutions.
Have Tradition to Uphold.
Unless we as a people recognize
the true nature of what is going
on in Asia and are clear Ayed and
not confused by tags, we are apt to
lose our influence in directing and
shaping that surging march to-
ward liberation along sound, demo-
cratic lines. We have a tradition
to uphold. We ourselves emerged
from a revolution and nave sup
ported liberating, self-rule move
ments all over the world since.
That is our true role.
In crises people are inclined to
clutch at slogans and labels until
they believe them. When confused
we seek some simple answers. This
plays into the hands of people and
interests with particular axes to
grind. Much of the trouble and
confusion today comes from look
