Congress Needlers Needed
T’HE Hoover commission’s recommendations on Rovernment
reorganization and economy were among the boldest and
most hopeful proposals ever offered for the betterment of
our federal system.
In the beginning, both the president and congress seemet
to realize this, and they moved energetically and with some
courage to put these recommendations in force. By the
time the 81st congress was well into its second year, half
the program had been adopted, and savings of consequence
were foreseen.
At this juncture, however, the streamlining drive gradu-
ally bogged down. Mr. Truman sent up to Capitol Hill certain
proposals which were modified with apparent political intent.
The lawmakers balked at these, and then stubbornly refused
to approve other important features of the commission plan.
(THE 82nd congress, which convened this January, allowef
* the unfinished portion of the program to languish in the

additional savings rising ultimately to from $3 billion to $5
billion could be realized by carrying it through. Whichever

(To Be Continued)
N I think of the Civil war
picture of a soldier ln gray,
wounded, lying with his head in
the lap of a southern belle dress-
ed in crinoline, her lily white
hands smoothing his brow, and
love at first sight spilling all over
the place.
Nothing could be further from
stern reality. When I think of the
Spanish-American war I can see
a pair of steel rimmed glasses over
near sighted eyes, a mouthful of
square teeth bared ln cartoon grin,
a campaign hat raised on high as
the U. S. cavalry charged gallant-
ly up San Juan hill behind the
Intrepid Teddy Roosevelt. A pic-
ture in a history book.
When I think of World war I
I see lines of communicating
trenches, miles of barbed wire en-
tanglements, mud, hardtack and
"cooties” and dough-boys at Ver-
dun, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne,
Ypres, the marines at Belleau
Wood and Chateu-Thierry, the
match box crates flown by the air
corps and the unprotected subma-
rined navy; the chartering of Red
Cross chapters everywhere and the
mixed emotions of the women ln
the 20 to 25 age group. Real to me.
When I think of World war II
there appears Fort Sill, Camp
Barkley, Fort Devens, Pine Camp,
Pickett. Sicily. Salerno, Cassino
and Anzlo, Normandy. Caen,
Chartres, Paris, and again St.
Mihiel. Verdun. Chateau Thierry.
Bastogne. Aachen, Berlin, VE day.

day.
Now this thing going on in
Korea. Not a war? But men have
died for the cause and women
have cried for the loss of their
mates and sons, and we’re firing
up the peace pipe ln hopes of
another armistice.
The gentlemen talked of peace
in 1918. again In 1945 and again
ln 1951 and the nearest they have
come is an armistice, an armed
truce to be scrapped whenever
and wherever the desire for world
domination overpowers the Judg-
ment of men in the driver’s seat.
Armistice day, when we thought
we had fought the war to end all
wars and make the world safe for
democracy. How wrong can we be?
Now, with the experiences of num-
erous armistices as dust and ashes
in our mouths and the certainty
that no amount of wars make
peace, let's have a look about us
for a way to permanent peace and
not for the means to perpetuate
an armistice.
If true peace is what we want
and I ask ln all seriousness, is It?

See 'Last Resort' U. S. Loan
As Only Way Out for Britain
ONDON, Nov. 10 —>NEA> —A
J visit to Washington by Prime
Minister Winston Churchill before
the end of the year Is considered
inevitable by London's financial
city. Main purpose of the visit will
be to seek means for strengthening
the British fiscal position—now
realized to be even worse than had
been anticipated by the outgoing
Labor government. Total financial
assistance in the nature of $6 10 $10
billion dollars may be sought.
Essence of the problem Is Brit-
ain's dwindling gold reserve. The
drain has been caused by an in-
creasingly unfavorable balance of
trade. While British production has
increased some 70 percent above
prewar levels, since Korea the price
of British imports has increased
tremendously. And the volume of
British exports has not been in-
creased sufficiently to close the gap.
A British request for another big
loan from the United States is
now considered only as a last, des-
perate resort by financial experts
here. The political difficulty, if not
impossibility, of selling the Ameri-
can congress on authorizing another
multi-billion loan to Britain is fully
realized.

N fact, desperate as Britain's po-
sition is today, there is strong
support for the idea that the $100
million interest due this December
on Britain's first big loan from the
United States should be paid ln fUll.
World Bank and British fiscal
experts have determined that there
ample Justification for asking
that the interest payment be waived,
provided for ln the terms of the
loan agreement. But a waiver would
have such bad psychological effect
on American congressional and gen-
eral public opinion that it is no
longer given consideration.
The big question Is therefore on
what other sources can be tapped
to meet Britain's gold und dollar
shortage. It is now held doubtful
that the deficit can be made up
from any one source. A variety of
measures is being considered.
One of the first is internal re-
form of Britain's fiscal policies. The
British people may be asked to
make further sacrifices. One of the
very first acts of the new Con-
servative government was to reduce
the already low meat ration. This
means further belt tightening and
reduction of the already slim stand-
ard of living.
Since Korea, Britain has been
having a bit of an inflationary
boom. Oerater defense spending
and increased industrial wages have
on consumer goods. Britain has no
credit restrictions like those in the
United States.
TYRITISH social security benefits
A* may have to be cut down, par-
ticularly in the socialized health
program. This might mean such
reforms as asking the British peo-
ple to pay a nominal fee of a shill-
ing or so for every prescription,
instead of getting this service free.
This would of course be tremen-
dously unpopular. Also, it would
not raise or save a great deal of
money.
Biggest potential source of relief
for Britain is believed to be the
international monetary fund, which
has reserves of some $8 billion.
Not all of this could be made avail-
able to Britain. Us share is $1.3
billion over a four-year period.
When the Marshall plan was in-
augurated. Britain agreed to ask
for no additional withdrawals from
the fund. But now that Marshall
plan aid has been terminated, there
would be no further ban on a Brit-
ish request for more aid from the
fund.
It Is recalled here that when
President Truman sent his original
Marshall plan message to congress,
he included a statement that put-v
ting the European recovery plan
Into effect would not rule out the
possibility of separate stabilization
loans, if they were needed. The
president's financial advisers may
have had some such contingency
as the present British crisis in
mind, even then.
