A shot echoes through the night;

Our faces in the dirt, but ever

And as we lie there, quite aware

Oh what is hfe2 What can il be
That stops life SO eternaIIy?
The wars that make mans heart
SO cold
And turns him into something

The fight is on from dawn. to dusk.
In bitter, cruel and wanten lust.
There is one answer dear 10 me
For man to strive, but happily.
Is happiness mere gold or wineg
Or is Il something quite divine?
Until such day when wars shall

Dare man think Of lasting peace?

UNITED STATES

WHEN CONGRESS translated the
Marshall Plan into legislation in
1913, the result was not named
the Economic Cooperation Act by
chance.
Congress intended that in re-
turn for the financial assistance
rendered by the United States, the
countries of Europe should CO.
operate with each other and the
United States in efforts to regain
economic stability in the postwar
period.
Thus far, Congress has author
lied $1,000, OOO, 900 for the Euro
pean Recovery Program. That pro
gram has been administered for
this country by the Economic Co.
operation Administration (ECA).
The ECA has worked in Europe
with the Organization for Euro
pean Economic Cooperation
(OEEC).
Consistently, from the view
point of the United States, the
emphasis has been on cooperation.

nomically, in 1947-has attained a
large and, in some instances, an
amazing degree of economic re-
covefy. Generally speaking 6,
Europe was back, or nearly SO, to
prewar levels by last Summer.
That recovery, however, was at
tanned more on the basis of CO.
operation by the individual
countries with the United States
than with each other-and more
than by cooperation of European
countries as a group with the
United States.
The notable exception to this
was establishment of the Euro
pean Payments Union EPU). But
the EPU, set VI as a temporary
device to stimulate trade between
European countriesS by coopera-
tive handling OF individual coun-
try trade deficits, was not launch
ed officially until last July l.
That date also found the North
Koreans marching south past the
noW-famous 18th Parallel. And
this provided the signal for a
swift shift in emphasis from eco
nomic recovery to military pre-
paredness where U. S. aid to
Europe was concerned.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN, there
fore has emphasized military as
sistance in his recommendation
for an additional $500, 900, 900 of
foreign aid for the fiscal year that
began this month.
Of hat amount, $6,250, OOO, 900
would be for military aid-with
$5,293,000, 900 of it going to Eu-

AS CONGRESS BEGINS consid-
Grafton of the $500, 600, 900 recon

the record, at least-to suggest
that Congress is any less DESTROYS
today of seeing increased coopera-
ton in Europe.
Thus, a speech which General
Eisenhower made the other e
ing in London at a dinner in his
honor appears likely to carry
great weight with Congress in it's
consideration of additional aid for
Europe.
The General clearly was not
satisfied with the amount of oop
Grafton obtainable under the pres
ent set-up for administering the
Mutual Security Program in
Europe. He spoke of. the "labori-
Gus NATO machinery and de-
cried a Europe "hobbled by a web
of customs barriers interlaced with
bilateral agreements, multilateral
cartels, local shortages and eco
nomic monstrosities."
Speaking on the eve of In

try, General Eisenhower strongly
urged a federation of Europe-on
the pattern of the United States
of America.

Test Of Moral
CO &c

Washington to take action on
a number Of matters affecting
the future of the company and
the islands. These decisions
are largely of an economic ma
ture and are related toward
the policy of attempting to
make the islands self support
ing. Among the decisions to
be made will be one of consid-
cradle Importance to the peo-
pie of the Virgin Islands. It
will be whether the Directors
will abolish the position of
Vice President of the company
and remove the highest rank
ing native officer without
cause to appease the preju-
dices of Senator Butler. The
matter is going to be very in
~teresting because it will test
the moral courage and the
sincerity Of the men who
direct the affairs Of the COM
pany. This rehabilitation agen-
cy is part of the United States
Government in the Virgin Is
lands and the issue that will
arise will afford the officials
an opportunity to square off
high sounding phrases with
clear cut and unmistakable
action.
Senator Butler has mush-
roomed in these islands as a
typical expert. His aims seem
to reduce the Virgin Islands
to the lowest level of Nebras-
ka. Because he attended a mud
hut school, the children Of the
Virgin Islands must be salts
fed with the fretrap dungeon
called the High School which
has been described by more
progressive congressman as
"abominable and disgraceful
under the American flag" Mr..
Butler knows well enough
that only since the Democrats
bypassed him and moved into
Nebraska h a most of that
state been blessed with cleo
trio light and the reasonable
human comforts which h e
still seems to believe are too
much for Negroes in the Vir-
gin Islands.

Audrey Cutting Convicted On Bad Check Charge

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - A superior court convicted a A. year-old Alaska real estate wom- an yesterday of passing a worth less check at a San Francisco hotel.
 The defendant, Mrs. Audrey Cutting of Anchorage, was or dered to appear December 12 for a report on possible probation. Maximum penalty is A years in prison.
 Mrs. Cutting testified in her de fense that checks the state said were worthless should have been covered by proceeds of a mort gage that was supposed to be de- posted in her Anchorage account.
 During her extended trip to the States, Mrs. Cutting testified, she had caShed numerous checks in Seattle, New York, Washington, DC, and Albuquerque, N.M., and that so far as she knew all had been honored.
 Mrs. Cathina Ahlstrand of San Francisco, with whom the defend ant has been staying, testified Mrs. Cutting was the owner of extensive gold, copper and coal properties in Alaska and did not need to cash bad checks.
