Hoffman's First Big Jobls |
& L' g |
Recruiting, Not Recovery
. BY PETER EDSON 3
~ NEA Washington Correspondent §II
WASHINGTON—PauI Hoffman has been Eco
nomic Co-operation Administrator,for a month. He 1
has performed no miracles in that time. If, as a re
su.lt,'Congress and the American people begin to}]
lose interest in Marshall Plan operations, that's bad.
Hoffman’s first month has been spent in re
cruiting. He has had to build a $6,000,000,000 &r
--ganization from the top down, Jobs could have been
filled With punks in a hurry. But getting $50,0600~
a-year men to take jobs paying $15,000 a year is
hard. :
At the end of his fourth weéek, however, Hoffman
feels he has nearly all his key jobs filled. Howard
Bruce as his deputy. Wayne C. Taylor as. director of
operations. Averell Harriman as roving ambassador
in Europe. William C. Foster director of missions.
It-may be July before Administrator Hoffman
can”@nnounce any action on-- recovery projects,|
which is the impertant part of his job, The reliei |
part of the program is an old swry. The U. S. has |
been feeding people ever since the war_ was _over.
Shipping out a million bushels of whedt is no longer
news. It doesn’t have the front page thrill it once
had. : e
No one’is meis: aware ‘of («this than Hoffman.
That's why he is banking heavily on Ambassador
Harriman’s first quick trip to Europe. He is to be
gone about 10 days. In that time it is/hoped he can
look over whatever specific plans OEEC—the 16~
nation Office of European Economic Co-operation
~—may have. i .
JOB 1S OVER THERE—NOT HYRE v
I"hg_re is a suspicion it may-not-have 'very many.’
But if Ambassador. Harriman can find 10 or 20
good projects sure of confributing to recovery, he
can bring them back to Washington and say,
“Here's something we can go-ahead lon." Hoffman
can then begin to function construetiyely. .
He believes it important-that the European re
covery organization stay in Burope. Mm;@ countries
want to send missions to Washington o throw their
weight around. Hoffman is fighting that off. Their
job is pver there; not over here. !
It is a job for all Western Eurove. not separate
countries. There is a pretty-well-founded suspicion
that the first estimates made by the 16 European
nations’ experts on a country-by-country basis are
not very realistic. Many of the projects they have
counted on will have to be eut down or cut out. !
Hoffman offers a hypothetical example. If Bel
gium and France both want to build new bicycle !
factories near each other, one or the other shouldl
be dropped. There is no sense in duplication. That
is why the program must be kept flexible. But thisl
idea may be difficult to ‘sell to congressional ap
propriation committees.
It's impossible to plan every detail a full year
ahead. Some of the plans that-look promising on
paper may be found to yield small results. Others
that don’t look good at the start may show sur- |
prising’ results. When they do it will be nccessaryj
to'Bhift funds from bad projects to those that pay
off. : |
:lifpr instance, one of the big items even after the
original Paris conference estimates were scaled
down by the Harriman Committee and State-De
partment was for $60,000,000- worth of freight cars
from the U. S. .
Knowing how scarce freight car§’ were in the U.
S.‘and how long it would take to get deliveries, Ad
ministrator Hoffman wondered why ‘the Europeans
couldn’t use trucks. He discovered that -it was
against the laws of most countries te have trucks
cross national boundaries. The solution for that one,
in Hoffman’s mind, is not to order more freight cars
but to tear down European trade barriers so that
motor transport can roll internationaily.
European resistance to this Kind of thinking is
bound {0 be heavy. ¥For instance, Beigium parti
cularly and France to aa‘.esser degree, have tremen
dom;ly improved their Qositions by revaluing their
currencies. Other couni™jes in Europe are resisting

ANY MORE TAILKS WITH STALIN ARE
USELESS WITHOUT STRENGTH
When people get together in a discus
sion of the world situation these days, one
of them is pretty sure to say, before it is
over, “Truman and Stalin ought to sit
down and thrash this thing out” —or
words to that effect.
Several writers have made the same
suggestion. Henry Wallace has intimated
that if he were President, that’s what he
would do. Speaker Martin has volunteer-1
ed to meet Premier Stalin and talk thin.gs‘
over as one Joe to another.
One. of the innumerable questions fired
at General Eisenhower recently was
whether he would take such an assign
ment. He wisely answered that no one less
than the President, authorized to speak
for the people of the United States, should
attempt such a conference.
i ‘And there are W ashington correspond
ents who have said with assurance—
though without offering proof—that Mr.
Truman turned down an offer from Mr.
Stalin for a meeting in Stockholm last
‘winter. There is, as we said, no proof that
such an offer was made and refused. But
if that were the case, we should say that
‘Myr. Truman acted wisely, and for two
reasons.
' First, we would have had at that time
’no existing or assembling military strength
to back up an insistence on the status quo,
’.or to enforce the demand for a reasonable
compromise. We do mnot have such
strength now, though there are signs that
we may regain it. And Mr. Stalin obvi
ously is not the sort to be turned aside by
moral indignation or appeals to sports
manship and his better nature. ;
Second, Mr. Stalin and his government
!cannot be trusted to carry out an agree
ment, even though the Soviet dictator
’might be bland and agreeable with Mr.
Truman, as he often is with American
visitors. That may sound pessimistic and
cynical, but the record is there. ,
It used to be said during the war, when
people were looking for all the nice
things to be said for our Russian allies,
that the Soviet government had never
"broken a military agreement. That state
‘ment seems to hola good today—but only
as regards military pledges.
The Russian government has broken
diplomatic pledges given at Yalta and
Potsdam. It has' met protests with argu
ment, evasion and delay and, if all else
failed, with silence.
* It would be folly to assume that the
Soviet government does not have a plan
of action, peaceful and otherwise, for
every continent on earth. The evidence is
too strong to the contrary. It would be’
equal folly to trust that Premier Stalin
would abandon that plan because of mere
arguments or appeals.
Chamberlin sat down and talked things
lover with Hitler at Berchtesgaden. Cham
‘berlain and Daladier talked things over
again with Hitler at Munich. Hitler made
a mockery of his pledges in both cases. If,
as Winston Churchill points out, the two
|men had confronted Hitler with the
strength that their aroused, alert and pre
pared nations might have given them, the
Istory would probably have been differ

and France did in 1938, for they have

pale in comparison. But America is wise
enough now to take steps to avoid the
mistakes of the complacent Thirties.

-Imunism pause and consider, then it will
be time for the President of the United

They sped swiftly through the
streets, empty today save tor the
sparse Sunday traffic. Charlotte
sat beside Roger, Patience behind
them. Tho two in front spoke
very little. Patience wondered
uneasily what was wrong with
them. They didn’'t seem to be
getting along very well. Last night
too she’'q noticea that Charlotte
had been singularly irritable. Was
1t that they were growing tired
of each other? That each had
found someone else?

gates of the airport and Patience
saw the 'plane waiting on the tar.

aboard she knew a moment’s wild
panic
“Scared?” asked Roger,

“For heaven’s sake. Patience

Patience pulled herself to-{

“What's this for?” she asked

“Only just for takin off and

Patience gave a litte shudder.

But she found she was wrong.
In a very few minutes, once they
were airborne, her initial ner
vousness vanished. She sat for

window, at the country spread
beiow her like a variegated car

“You'd soon get used to flying
if you were in the States,” said
Charlotte. “One just goes by

there. It's so much quicker. Re
member that first trip, Roger
down to Washington?”
Roger chuckled.
“I do. And that party we went
to when we got here.”
They were sitting next to each
other. Their heads moved nearer
together. Patience caught an odd
sentence now and then. They
seemed to be getting on better
together. :
Patience told herself she was
¢lad. Only—, no, of course she
didn’t feei a pang! Why should
she? ¢
“There’s the sea, Patience.”
Charlotte was smiling at her
warmly, quite her gay self again.
“Oh Charlotte, it's so thrilling.”
And now they were crossing
{he coast. She could see the
white surf of the waves breaking |
against the sands. Y'rance!
At last they were circling Le
Bourget. A few moments m?{le
and they were taxing along the
ground. '
Patience stepped out onto for
egin soil and looked eagerly
around her.
“I feel there should be a band
playing ‘the Marseillpise,” said
Roger,
