Past Glorv

The Ancient Mayas Of Central
America had a brilliant civilization
with cities Of stone, paved streets,
and magnificent temples and public
buildings. Today, less than fifteen
hundred years later, the typical
Maya ct Central America, lives with
his brown, barefooted children, in
a mud and waffle hut. All that re-
mains for him Of the past glories Of
his people is the hybrid cereal

not be contained or defeated Sc
long as the world is divided be-
tween the hungry and the we'll

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Aug.
ga 90-year-old tribal farmer
in Central Africa has piled 20 OF
more cows onto the United Ma
tions agenda. already burdened by
complaints Of donkey car owners
in Somaliland fighting high taxes
and license fees.
In letters signed by thumb

their laborious way from Bigi-
raneza, a former chief Of the
Mwami Mwambutsa tribe, in
Usumbura, Belgian Ruanda-
Urundi.
In one letter. Bigiraneza says
he left the cattle in the care of
Ia fellow tribesman named Vyam-
bambi, who later died. He went
to the present chief to get the
cows back.
"They told me that as vyam-
bambi had died, the 20 cows be-
came the permanent property of
his widow" the complaint went
on.
Bigiraneza had that letter
fashioned by q professional letter
writer. Two months later he had
another one drafted.
In this one he set out that he
had served faithfully a succession
of British. German and Belgian
governors-the Belgians now ad-

had an honorable discharge as
chief because of his age.

Draper Fears Disaster
If Trade With Europe
Remains Unbalanced
By Gornett D. Horner

Warning of a possibly "disas.
trous" economic fissure between
the United States and Eastern
Europe confronted President
Truman today.
The warning was sounded by
Ambassador William H. Draper
United States special representa-
tive in Europe, who is in charge
of co-ordinating American politi.
cal, economic and defense activi-
ties in the North Atlantic Treaty
area.
Mr.. Draper said the United
States must buy much more OF
Europe's products If it expects tc
get paid in full for the things the
European nations need from this
country.
Continued Aid is Alternative.
The alternative, he warned, il
to continue military and economic
aid programs at the expense o1
American taxpayers indefinitely
Declaring that Europeans prefer
trade rather than aid" Mr.
Draper said balanced trade" OBJ
viously is the best solution to the
problem of Europe's perpetual
shortage of dollars needed to buy
American goods.
This will require increased
American imports. he said. Fol
its part, he added, Europe must
become more productive and pro-
duce at more competitive prices
'Unbalance' Poses Danger.
Unless a greater balance in
European-American trade can be
achieved, MIR. Draper warned
there is real danger of a deep
and perhaps disastrous hssure be-
tween the economies Of Europe
and America" He added that
the "long term consequences for
the strength and solidarity of the
free world could be damaging in
deed"
Mr.. Draper emphasized the
economic problem in a report re-
leased by the White House on his
first six months in Europe. He
reported gains in strength and
unity by the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
AS part Of the defense program,
he said the United States bought
'$683.8 million worth of military
equipment in Europe during the
last fiscal year, largely for use
by NATO allies. He added that
"a similar program of "off-shore
procurement" is being prepared
for this year. Some officials here
estimated this may amount to 81
billion.
