ROME.-Italy's silver haired
premier of Victory" of World
War I is nearing 80, still as
eloquent, as admired and as
stanch- -Willed a fighter as in
the days when he clashed with
Woodrow Wilson and Benito
Mussolini.
Vittorio Emanuele Orlando,
last survivor of the Allied Big
Four at Versailles, is having no
part of Italy's present govern
ment.
It isn't because he feels much
weight from his years, although
he was born May S, 1860. And
it isn't because he could not
have high position in the gov
ernment of the nation he has
served since he was %.
But now, just as at the time
of the Versailles peace treaty
when he walked out and
wouldn't sign, he doesn't like
the way the pacts are being
kept.
He doesn't like the strongly
organized party system. And
he doesn't like legislatures
chosen on the basis of propor-
tional representation.
Still Teaches Law
Orlando likes liberty - and
constitutional law.
So the square-jawed old Sicil-
ian political warrior is going
calmly ahead teaching the law
courses at the University of
Rome, and writing his books on
constitutional rights.
Orlando walked out on Wilson
and the Versailles discussions
in 1919 because he contended
Italy was not being given her
just rights in Fiume on the
northeastern Adriatic. He re-
signed as Premier so he would
not have to sign the peace
treaty.

they are obviously necessary to
combat communism"
The United States of Europe is a
Utopian concept, swell on the lee
ture platform but tough to put
across to peoples who are con-
scious and proud of their nation
hood.
Americans are now being taught
that there are certain things that
can be done-and certain things
that can't be done with S13 billion.
That sum-diShed out to non
Communist Europe in the form of
Marshall aid over a period of four
years-seems to be enough to stop
communism in it's tracks.
But it will not destroy it.
The amount spent so far-rough-
ly, $85 billion-has enabled the II
beneficiaries to achieve and to
surpass their preWar industrial
production.
This has provided employment
and well-being and has taken the
wind out of the Commies' sails.
But it has not resulted in any
general overhaul of the system in
any single country.
Consequently, it has not wiped
out the class differences, or I'M
evennesses of income, which
spread discomfort when they occur
in countries where great sacrifices
are demanded of the masses.
1t has enabled the non-Commu-
mist countries to get back to pre-
war agricultural output. With 20
million more mouths to feed than
they had before, this alone is not
enough.
The Marshall Plan has financed
the dollar deficit of non-Commu-
mist Europe, amounting to $8.5
billion between July /. 1948, and
July l, 1850.
But there Is no present pros
pect that the Marshall Plan alone
will enable non-Communist Eu-
rope to balance it's accounts with
the dollar area by the end of the
plan in mid-1952.
1t is possible that this deficit
can be reduced to SIS or 81 bill
lion a year by 1923. But this
deficit will have to be financed
somehow to prevent serious eco
nomic shortages. And the United
States will have to do the financ-
ing, officially or by private bank
| ing methods.

IT, NJ Draws Mail
By Mox HorreIson

LAKE SUCCESS.-The United
Nations gets many letters from
faraway places but never one
from Ivan, Russias man-in-
the street.
U. N. officials say they don't
remember so much as a post
card from a private citizen of
Russia among all the 100000
communications that have come
here from the general public
during the last four years.
The U. N. receives about 750
letters week from non-official
sources. They deal with every
thing under the sun. Some are
serious proposals from well-in-
formed persons, some are from
obvious cranks, some from per-
sons who are all but illiterate,
some from authors who write
with tongue -in-cheek. ,
A high school student in
Buffalo, N. Y, asks for informa-
ton and pictures of the A-bomb
and the H-bomb; 18 residents of
British African Nigeria ask for
colorful U. N. posters to deco
rate the walls of their huts; a
researcher asks where he can
find some data.
The letters fall into several
general acknowledgements for
information, proposals on some
specific issue, comment on
question before the U. N. and
requests for action on some
particular problem.
The U. N. officials who handle
these letters give them all care
full and courteous attention, but
they get a laugh now and then.
One man in Waupun, Wis,
for example, asked for six
copies of the universal declara-
tion of human rights.
II wish them for our rela-
tives." he explained. "a right
affects me-"
A writer in the Ozarks sent
the U. N. a volume of her
poems. She said she hoped the
delegates would find inspiration
to deal with H-bomb problems.
II wish also to call attention
to the. scenic beauty of the
Ozarks," she added.
Correspondents send in all
sorts of gifts, mostly poems,
songs and new designs for a
world flag. Right now u

Marshall Plan

PARIS.-As defense measures
go, the Marshall Plan has been a
red-hot bargain.
You don't buy national defense
for peanuts.
World War II cost the United
States Treasury $3.50 billion and
it cost the American people more
than 100000 dead.
The Marshall Plan is due to
cost the United States Treasury
about $13 billion by the time it
ends in mid-1952. 1t will cost no
lives but it will save a great
many.
In other words, this defense
measure-designed to prevent
Western Europe from being domi-
mated by series of brutal Com
munist regimes-will cost us as
much as it cost us to fight 90
days of the late war-which was
designed to uproot and destroy a
series of brutal Fascist regimes.
What you have to ask yourself
Is whether this defensive measure
was necessary?
Would Western Europe have
gone Connie if there had been no
Marshall Plan?
Answers Will Vary
Different people will give diff
ferent answers.
In 1947. however, 1t seemed
about an even-money bet that
France and Italy would go Com
munist in the 1948 elections.
There certainly seemed to be a
strong chance that they would be
run by Communist relationships,
or Fascist relationships, by this
date - unless something hap
pened.
This is a matter of personal
judgment.
But there is no question at all
about what would have happened
economically and socially. 1t is
absolutely certain that the 275

ability to: Stand still in midair;
back up and move from side to

and thus operate from an area
only slightly larger than the

1t opens up the possibility of
flying with one foot always on

chase price for a plane or ticket

bining the best features of both.
At least one such a combina-
ton has been built and flown in
recent weeks and the problem is
no longer regarded as insurmount-
able. Currently the difficulty
seems to lie in trying to deter
mine what final form the COM
bination will take, with an eye
to both military and public ac-
ceptance. That already is divid-
ing the interested people into lit
tie camps in favor of half a.
dozen or so different combina-
tions and each has it's biased sup
porters who will argue and debate
while building and testing.
Navy Showed Interest
These slow-fying aeronautical
engineers labor under the un-
impressive and somewhat vague
banner of convertible" aircraft
designers, convertible meaning an
aircraft that can convert from
helicopter to airplane and vice
versa. Last December, more than
200 convertible" engineers quiet
ly met in Philadelphia and the
aSsemblage went down in aero
nautical history as the First Con-
vertible Aircraft Congress. The
Air Force. the Navy and the
NACA sent highly qualified OBJ
servers. This was progress for
the pioneers and they were happy
over the Federal recognition they
received, though the Government
people made no commitment to
buy.
But what gave the Congress"
added if not pre-eminent stature
was the conspicuous absence of
any fabulous promises that the
offspring Of the mating of the
helicopter and the airplane would
be a flying machine available
soon" and so simple to operate
and so inexpensive to own, that
Grandma would be flying it
downtown for the weekly shop
ping before the year is out. The
convertible engineers are aware of
the tremendous amount of tech
nical detail work yet to be done
and they also are aware that un-
born bugs are certain to come
into vigorous and troublesome
existence.
And the greatest and most de-
strucnve bugs of all will be their
enthusiastic friends who see in
the convertible" the expansion
of the personal flying industry to

U. N. is flooded with offers of
art and furniture for the new
skyscraper headquarters near
ing completion in Manhattan.
Most letters from the public
are handled by three U. N. Of
f1cials. All those asking for in
formation go to Helen Gordon
and Mrs. Josephine Frank in
the department of public in
formation. Those dealing with
other matters go to Julian
Denys, chief of the correspond
ence service in the central reg
istry.
MIR. Denys handles rs to 100
letters a day; many are merely
acknowledged by him and sent
on to other U. N. departments
for a more detailed reply and
possible action. Many letters
are complaints which must go
either to the human rights di-
vision or to the trusteeship
division.
Miss Gordon and Mrs. Frank
handle about 1000 letters a
month. They usually are able
to satisfy their correspondents
by sending pamphlets or other
background material. Some
times, however, when they are
asked political questions they
suggest the inquiry should be
sent to the national delegation
concerned.
The U. N. studies the mail
carefully for trends in public in
terest. Both Mr.. Denys and
the correspondence unit of the
Department of Public Informa-
ton keep charts showing the
subject matter and the coun-
tries where the letters origi-
mated. These charts go to Sec
retary General Trygve Lie, who
may ask for the letters on a
particular subject If he wishes.
Most mail comes from the
United States. The remainder
is divided pretty evenly among
the rest of the world; no one
country consistently sends a
heavy volume.
What happens to all the
thousands of foreign stamps on
these letters? They go to the
U. N. Stamp Club for distribu-
ton among its members.

Orlando said he also had ad-

Likewise, he has declined to

The Marshall Plan machinery
has helped to bring the II bene-
ficiary governments together to
discuss their separate problems.
1t has not been enough to COM
pei them to coordinate their in
dustrial or economic planning for
the future. The result is that
there will be serious production
surpluses of steel and other items,
all financed by the ECA.
But the $13 billion we are sched-
uled to put into the Marshall Plan

Utopia.
The struggle will go on, through
the indefinite future.
Hold to Trend
The best we can hope for is
that the present trend toward
greater production and self-supA
port will continue and that some
thing can be done to bridge the
dollar gap.''
To achieve this it will be nee
esary for the United States to in
crease it's use of European goods
and services such as shipping
Unless Congress is willing to re-
duce tariffs and to open up new
business to European shipping the
dollar gap will be around $2.5 or 5:
billion, if Europe continues essen
tial dollar imports.
Among other things. France
might start cracking down on its
well-to-do by the simple process
of applying its income tax laws,
This is the least that could be
expected of a country that has
drawn annual dollar subsidies OF
$980.9 million and $704 million
during the last two fiscal years.
1t might also be reasonable to
expect that the Italian land
owners who formed the backbone
of II Duce's regime, might submit
to land reform in such land
starved areas as Calabria. This
should be their contribution to
the fight against communism to
match the $555.5 million and $407
million that we have devoted to
the battle in Italy during the last
two years.
Similar little sacrifices in the
interests of a contented proleta-
riat might be forthcoming in
Greece, Portugal and some of our
other client countries.
