undeveloped areas. 1t is report
ed that hunger-stricken Britain
has approved a 10-year public
works plan for it's African pos
session, while France is contem-
plating a similar program for
French West Africa and equator
ial Africa.
However, each ofthe countries
know hat the political and econ
omic questions complement each
other in colonial relations. One of
the chief sources of African
wealth is cheap labor and the ex-
pl~oitation Of native workers. AL
though, the colonial powers are
quick to claim that they are bring
ing w estern civilization and
Christianity to millions of uncivil-
lied and heather peoples, the fact
of human exploitation remains.
And that angle stimulated the
second point onthe Paris agenda
The colonial officials combed
through ways and means of block
ing the recent UN decision to
probe conditions of natives in
colonies operated by members of
the U. N. Such an Investigation
would certainly interrupt the act.
Last month, when plans for the
meeting we're announced, sponsor
ing nations stressed that the meet
ing would not create ian anti
UN trusteeship bloc" rather they
were meeting to find a "joint ap-
proach" to "new colonial prob
lems." However, many foreign OBJ
servers saw through verbiage. It
is believed in some quarters that
this conference was called speci-
fically to halt any UN attempt to
change the status quo. And the
status quo simply is the exploita-
ton of millions of darker human
beings for the benefit of Britain,
France, Belgium, Holland and
Portugal.
The colonial powers hold that
the U. N. charter provides for
very close supervision over U. N.
trust areas only. These areas con-
sist largely of colonies taken
from the losers in World War II
and former League of Nations
inundated territories taken from
the losers in World War 1.
The charter, they hold, called
for statistical and technical re-
ports from colonies not under the
trusteeship system - and nothing

There are few moments Of rest

throughout the Suite from Han

with which the program opened
and which received the most
poised reading. As a musician
of unquestionable distinction, the
conductor has keen insight into
the properties resulting from the
balanced orchestral voices and the
value Of strongly contrasted dyna-
mics. He found a more sympa-
thetic medium to his particular
approach in the virility and rug

"Eroica" Symphony brought the
concert to a, close.
It was presented in a clear-cut

President and Mrs. Truman
headed the distinguished audience
that gathered in Constitution Hall
last night for the first concert
this season by the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra. Charles Munich,
the orchestra's eminent new con-
ductor. was given a cordial wei
come on his entrance, followed by
further applause when the Presi-
dent and his party entered their
box. AS announced in the pro-
gram, the National Anthem was
then played, specifically stated as
opening the orchestra's 18th sea-
son.
Mr.. Munch's long tenure of Of
flee as conductor of the Societe
des Concerts du Conservatoire in
Paris and his intimate acquaint-
ance with the music of his adopted
country, made the inclusion of
Honegger'S Prelude, Fugue and
Postlude," and Roussel's "Bacchus
ct Ariane" Second Suite, in the
program, of special interest. 1t
would mean as correct a presenta-
ton of these works as could be
had by a man stepped in the
modern French style and who,
almost certainly, knows Honegger
personally and probably knew
Roussel. before his death.
He utilized all the fine skill of
the Boston musicians to present
the Honegger work at it's best. It
is noisy, hard-wrought compost
ton that has only a few flashes of
real inspiration. When this oper-
ates. as in the Postlude with its
quite ending. the writing flows ef-
fectively but in other places, it's
hard texture overshadows the
ideas. Exception can be made of
the Fugue. with its intriguing
theme and climax.
There is always, in Roussel's
music. a particular luminosity and
the glimpse of bright vistas. From
the opening viola and violin solos,
depicting the awakening of
Ariane. to the final Bacchanale.
the music achieves its descriptive
ness IN gladstone way in spite of
its modern speech. Both numbers
were vociferously applauded, all
though the wide differences be-
tween them should have been ap-
parent in the reception.
At that. it probably was more
MIR. Munch's directing that was
applauded than the compositions
themselves. His frenetic manner
OF building up climaxes is COM
mun1cative. Why he feels that
such long experienced musicians
as those of the Boston Symphony
need to be prodded and violently
urged to greater effort is hard to
understand. He is a man eyi-

make haste slowly or draw forth
sonorous volume without great
personal exertion. The effect is
not always felicitous, even with
these routined players. His ur-

Senate has made only a moderate
cut and I hope the conference
can trim out some more non-es-
sential expenditures.
Budget Surveys Asked.
President Truman has ordered
Government agencies to survey
their budgets with the view to
retrenching on non defense ex-
penditures.
Some officials noted that while
the Senate twice refused to cut
the s2,726, 10000 in cash and
contract authority for the Euro
pean recovery program the House
hasn't yet acted on this issue.
The Senate votes were close,
Is to 40 against 10 per cent
slash in the fund and Al to 38
against a 5 per cent cut. Backers
of a cut believe this might en-
courage House economizers to
shuck something off the total.

Senator Byrd told a reporter. "Ir
any event, it looks as though
spending is going to be pushed up
to the 60-to-70 billion dollar
bracket yearly.
Il don't see how we can pile on
much more than $40 billion a
year in additional taxes. The bill
that the Senate Finance Commit
tee is studying now will boost
taxes about SIS billion and even if
we put on stiff excess profits tax
it won't bring in more than an
other SIS billion"
O'Mahoney to Offer Plan.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
of Wyoming, told a reporter an
excess profits proposal he has
drafted will be offered in the
committee. However, Chairman
George has said it needs more
study and probably can't be acted
on until later in the year. Senator
O'Mahoney promised to carry the
fight for immediate passage to
the Senate floor if necessary.
Senator Byrd said the gap be-
tween the Governments income
and outgo apparently is going to
be so large that it will be diff
cult for Congress to put war out
lay on pay-as-you-go basis al
President Truman suggested.
There is room for some more
economy in non-defense spend.
