places in the world ready to re-
ceive new population. But
here. too. restrictive conditions
are encountered and interna-
tional agencies would do we'll
to study what can be done to
alleviate this problem.
Then, there's the question of
compromise with Tito over
Trieste, the failure to settle
which has given the Fascists
powerful issue for agitation.
American policy from an eco
nomic standpoint has on the
whole been well carried out, but
an example of how little the
problems here are understood
back home is the criticism
voiced in Washington over the
building Of the new railroad sta
tion in Rome. It cost about IS
million, paid for out of Italian
funds. It is probably the most
artistic railroad station in all
Europe. In America it might
have been criticized as too lux
urious. But the purpose behind
1t was sound. The Italians are
impressed by art and beauty
and. since this station sees more
OF the travelling public than any
other rail terminal in the coun-
try. 1t was a psychological move
that helped convince a frus-
trated and worried people that
normal times are coming back
and that the nation can build
as many fine things under a
republic as were built under
Mussolini.
The problem of Premier de
Gasperi is back-breaking. The
success of the Fascists in the
recent elections merely empha-
sizes that, with the totalitarian
influences moving in from both
the right and the left. the CEN
ter party will need the moral
support Of every freedom loving
element in this country and
abroad. The outlook is far from
pessimistic. but the job is a long.
uphill pull, and it's going to re-
quire infinite patience both here
and in the United States.

Dollars Alone Won't Help Italy
Premier De Gosperi Calls First Problem Psychological
In Sustaining Morale Vital to Rebuilding of Nation
David Lowrence:

, ROME, June 1l.-Maybe there
are folks back in the United

quires only the giving away Of a
Few more American dollars. But
that isn't the case here at all.
Talking with Alcide de Gas
peri, Premier Of the italian
government, this correspondent
got a picture of the various
problems that confront this
country and noted that first
and foremost were those which
might be called psychology
ical." This, of course. is related
to political and economic sta
bilitya but it. can best be de-
Scribed as reviving and sustain
ing the morale" Of the people.
For Italy has had Mussohni
and the FaScistS, who squelched
democracy for more than 20
years Of iron rule and Italy has
seen her railroads, her bridges,
her factories and tens of thou
sands of homes ruined by bombs,
f1rst from the Allies and later
from the planes Of the retreat
ing Germans.
How does one go about re-
building such a nation and CIV
ing it the liberties of a republic
under a constitution? Who are
the experts-in America or
elsewhere-who can say just
what is the right dose of finan-
cial aid and what is the right
contribution of political sup
port? And when a constitu-
tional democracy is set up, what
does one do about the old-time
Fascists who arise to stab in
the back the very government

Communists Present
|5-Year Peace Plan
At Peiping Meeting
BY ths-Assoeioisd Press

TOKYO, Oct. 4.-The Com
munists with much fanfare today
unveiled a f1ve-point plan for
Asian peace but it appeared
nothing more than a rehash of
Red proposals made frequently in
the last two years.
|. The Red plan was introduced
before delegates from 20 countries
attending the Asian and Pacific
Peace Conference in Red China's
capital Of Peiping.
Peiping radio. heard in Tokyo,
devoted its attention almost ex-
clusively to the platform with
which the Reds obviously hope to
win sympathy In Asia.
End Of War Feature Point.
Its main features were a call
for an end to the Korean war
on Communist terms; and a five-
power peace pact between the
United States. Britain, France
Soviet Russia and Red China for
promoting international disarm-
lament.
Kuo Mo-jo. vice chairman Of
the Red China delegation, pre-
sented the first statement of pol
icy before the conference which
the Reds have been giving a ter.
lrific buildup for two months.
The five points:
l. An overall solution to the
Japanese question" that would
curb a resurgence of japanese
militarism. Foreign troops Gamer
ican) would withdraw from Japan
and a new Japanese peace treaty
be written. (Russia and her satel-
lites did not sign the United States
written japanese peace treaty
signed by 40 nations.)
Return Of Prisoners Demanded.
2. THAT necessary steps bt
taken to end the war In Korea.
These steps included return Of ali
prisoners, including those Red
soldiers who say they'll resist re-
|patriation. and withdrawal Of ali
foreign troops from Korea, in
|cluding Chinese Communists.
3. A five-power peace pact be-
tween the United States, United
Kingdom. France. Soviet Union
and Red China for outlining inter-
national disarmament and ban
ming atomic, chemical and germ
warfare.
4. Safeguards for the national
independence Of all people of all
countries" Specifically the Reds
demand a ban on nations provid-
ing military bases to foreign
powers and ian end to the policy
Of international blockade, en-
barge and monopoly"
S. Ban war propaganda and end
discrimination against colored
peoples" and halt repression OF
peace movements"
