~ More Aid to Britain |
' BY PETER EDSON L
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The secret of how much Mar
“shall Plan aid is scheduled for Great Britain will
be let out of the bag soon. It will show that the
British will want nearly $lO billion over the next
-four years. Requirements from the U. S. will be in
theé nature of $5.8 billion. From Canada apd the rest
of North and South America, $4.2 billion. The U. S.
will probably be asked to furnish dollars for a large
part of this latter amount.
2 Senate and congressional leaders, who opposed
the original $3.75 billion loan to Britain, are layingl
for the exact figures on new British requirements.'
They have cHarged openly that much of the first|
-lean was wasted and allowed to go down the drain. l
If euts are made in the Marshall Plan for economy’s
sgka; or for political reasons, the critics of Euro
plin aid believe that reductions can be made in
the British lion’s share.
-/ Exact amounts for British requirements will be
~revealed when the President’s messagé and State
-Department documents, supporting the long-range
European Recovery Program, go to Congress. They
will give country-by-country estimates “for the 16
co-operating European nations and We,'ster;] Ger
many. ‘
BRITISH GET MOST OF FIRST-YEAR AID
“ “In the initial Paris report of the 16 nations, a‘
country‘by-country breakdown was given for only |
the first year of operations wunder the Marshall
Plan. Of total estimated requirements. for $9.2 bil
lion worth of imports from North ar)d South Am
_erica, Britain’s share was given as $2.63 billion—
roughly 28.5 per cent.
" 'The French share was given as $1.76 billion, or
19 per cent. Western Germany’s share was $1.15
billion, or 12.5 per cent. Italy’s. share was $930
millions, or 10 per cent. These fouar countries would
‘thus account for 70 per cent of all the aid furnish~- |
ed. The British share is over a thir'd of this.
. Why the British have been so ‘reluctant to give
out estimates on their requirements for second,
third and fourth years has puzzle §i many Washing
ton observers. Fear of stirring: up anti-British
sentiment may be one reason.
One reason given for not releasing 1949-1951
estimates is a desire to present the Marshall Plan
as a European recovery job, ‘covering the whole
continent. It was hoped to avoid the impression
that the plan was for scatter ed and unco-orciinated
aid to 16 nations individual ly,
Another factor was the difficulty in preclicting
what the price, supply and political situations ‘would '
be so far ahead.
' The Europedns did preser .t totals for those years, '
however. Unless those tot als were simply pulled
out of the air, they must have been based on esti- |
mates of what each coua'try would need. “
Unofficial estimates «u% the British share for all
four years vary from 30 to 40 per cent. But takingl
the lower, 1948 figu re of 28.5 per cent of the total
as the.basis for B ritish requirements from North,
and South America, the figures break down like
this:
st From From Rest of Total From
Year United American American
States Continent Continent
\ (billign) (billion) (billion) i
31948-...... $1.71 $092 Y $ 2.63 N

N ... 138 §.OB L 7 2.44
.. .. 123 T 2.33
TOTALS . $5.80 $4.20 ; SIO.OO
'~ Because of price changes up or down, good or
bad weather, congressional cuts and world up
heavals, final figures may var'y considerably. They
may be as high as sls billion or as low as $5 billion.
Part of the total will be on a loan basis, part an
“outright grant. But it should be noted that repay
- ment of the original $3.75 billion loan is not due
1o begin until 1952. Repayment in 50 years is called
‘for; with interest at 2 per cent when the British
“ean find the dollars. When they can’t, interest is
_Cwaived.
. ‘Terms on regexzent of loans under the Marshall‘
%lnn have yet to written and approved by Con-~
igress. . |
' "I the best possible light, future advances to
_Britain have to be considered as investments to
."m the British going so they can eventually pay
their debts by the year 2000 A.D. |
GEORGIA HAS AN ALAMO
The tourist Who passés through San
Antonio, Texas, aways goes out and takes
a look at the Alamo, the old Spanish Mis
sion in which the defending American
garrison met death at the hands of the
"Mexicans, not a single American soldier
escaping death.
Now the State of Georgia has an
Alamo. No blaod has been shed and none
will be, but the little town is unique in
that no citizen wishes to hold the office
of mayor. The political enemy has taken
no lives, but civie and political ambition
seem to hgve been exterminated. |
The man who has been mayor of Alamo
has resigned after a service of thirteen
vears. It is not recorded whether the num
ber thirteen had anything to do with his
resignation, but he is quoted as saying
that ‘‘the mayoraity of Alamo is distinctly
a headache.”
His successor was named by eight write
in votes and now he has declared that he
will not take on the duties of the office.
The queerest thing of all is that there
should be a town of any size with no eiti
zen who possesses enough ambition to
qualify as mayor.
Athens has,;thought herself possessed of
two peculiarly interesting things, a tree
that owned itself and the only double
barreled cannon in the world, also as be
ing the only city where a fire department
and a water-works plant were once de
stroyed by fire, but Alamo, Ga., has Ath
ens backed off the map. ;
l CONFEDERACY DEAD BUT
| IMMORTAL
Ralph McGill, in his column in the At
lanta Constitution, tells ¢f an experience
he had recently while on his trip to Eu
rope. He was in Nuernberg, Germany, and
was seeking the headquarters of Eugene
Phillips, an American officer stationed
there. When he walked into the meeting
room, he saw on the walls a small Con
federate flag. Above it, of course, was the
American flag, a larger and more impos
ing flag, but the Stars and Bars were still
waving, even though it was a flag never
again to be unfurled.
And then he heard something also.
Twice each night the band strikes up
“Dixie” and everybody rises with vocifer-!
ating cheers. Requests were made of the |
bandmaster to play ‘“Yankee Doodle” and |
““Marching Through Georgia” but they;
fell on deaf ears. The soldiers, not only |
Scutherners but young men from every |
part of the country would have nothing
but “Dixie.” i
Thus while the Southern Confed
eracy is dead and its flag permanently
furled, something remains that will not |
die, that still challenges the interest, the
attention and the inspirations of Ameri
cans ‘the whole nation over. It was that
feeling that actuated an American soldier
to hoist a Confederate flag over a small
island conquered from Japan, and to take |
possession in the name of the “storm-cra
dled nation that fell.” l
There are no more patriotic Americans
than the people of the Southern states,
but they have their memories and they
‘are such as make of them better citizens
of a re-united nation. l
THE LITTLE UNITED NATIONS
CONFERENCE |
The United Nations General Assembly
a short while since named a committee
congisting of members from all the na-}
tions except Russia and her satellites to
hold continuous sessions the year. round“
and keep track of conditions in all the
nations of the world. The chief work of
this committee was to keep informed as tOl
the Balkdn situation and to take such
steps as might be possible to curb the use
of the veto in the meetings of the Big
Four Foreign Ministers. ‘
The first meeting of the Little Con
ference will be held early in January.
Just what good this committee can ac
complish is problematical in the absence
of Russian representation, but it will.do its
best. Certainly it can gather in a world of
information, the accuracy of which can be
‘relied on and that may furnish the basis
!upon which to develop a number of
worthwhile movements in the work to-
Iwards bringing about world peace.
It may be a violent presumption to be-|
lieve that Russia will very soon change
lher attitude, but stranger things havel
‘happened and it may be that some of
these days the Soviets will realize that
they cannot dominate the world and will
be willing to act in concert with the other
nations of the world.

it from her fingers and unlock

ci golden-yellow fur hurled it~

back, startled at sight of a
stranger. :
Steve bent down and held out
his hand tentatively. g
“Hi, fel'a,” he murmured po-
Jitely. “Here-——have a bite. Being
Timmy, you can scratch me if
vou like.”
Timmy sniffeq at the extended
fingers, hesitated a moment, and
deciding that the stranger wasn’t
dangerous, allowed his head to
"be slratched gently.
- “Hi—he likes me!” said Steve
happily “Or maybe he has de

she could not have explained

. For a moment there wag sil

wrought the color.to Happy’s face
@and made her strangely unwill

and hesitated; and then he -~-'--

“Of course, Steve; it was a

“I bought it, Happy.”
She stared at him, amazed.
“You bought it? But for good
ness sake, why?”
His grin was wry, almost rue
ful.
“Because I was fool enough %o
think that maybe some day, if
you decideq you did not like Sun

said, as though getting the words

Watsrproofing Concrete Block
A concrete block wall can be waterproofed very simply
and inexpensively by the following method:
Wet the exierior of the wall thoroughly and then apply 2
heavy ccat of Portland Cement Wash. This wash should be
made with water and pure cement and about 10% fine s@nd
mixed to comsistency of puttermilk. It should be scrubbed into
the wall with a stiff bristle brush. Do not use a paint brush
because the voids in the block will not be filled properly.
As this brush coat begins te set it skould be kept wet with
a fine spray for at least 24 hours, or else it will dust off and
not be effective. Over this waterproofing base ycu can apply
two coats of any type of cement paint for areas above gl‘il(*(f;
Below gradeline a heavy ccat of coal tar or asphalt should be
applied and if a bad water condition exists drain tile
should also be placed to relieve hydrostatic pressure,
