The State Of Europe
{ Why the Kremlin Applied the Brakes
¥ BEY ROSECOE DRUMMOND
| ¥rom The Christian Science Monitor
' PARlS~—Recently some 16 members of the United
States House of Represeatatives Foreign Affairs,
Armed Services, and Appropriations Committees
visited V estern Europe to judge at firsthand the
progress that is being made toward building the
military and economic defense of the Atlantic Alli
ance.
Shortly almost the entire membership of the Sen
ste Foreign Relations Committee will be arriving
in Paris to see General Eisenhower and the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administration headquarters for
the same kind of on-the-spot checkup.
The direct purpose of these inquiries is to help
the Congress determine what action it shall take
on the $8,000,000,000 mutual security program
which is now up for decision.
Nothing could be more useful than for the con
gressmen to see for themselves. They are looking at
Europe at a time when many anxieties are pressing
upon the American people and their allies—concern
lest the cease-fire negotiations produce a trap in
stead of a truce in Korea, concern lest the oil crisis
in Iran give Moscow annother place to thrust its
arm through a hole in the western defenses, con
cern lest an apparent lull in the cold war cause a
dangerous relaxation in western rearmament,
These are valid anxieties, and it is better that we
should be anxious about them than complacent, But
while there remains the most urgent need to be
alert to present and potential dangers, it is valua
ble occasionally to nmreasure the distance the free
world has come in mastering the perils of the past
four years.
It is well to appraise our successes as well as our
failures—and learn from both.
One way to do this is to look at what has been
happening from Soviet eyes, and to see how dis
tressed the Kremlin must be when it views the
scope and success of western actions. Here are some
of the things they see: ;
They see the steady strengthening of West Ger
many under the democratic influence of America,
Britain, and France.
They see the successful resistance of the Allies to
the attempted blockade of Berlin,
They see the deep and devastating blow to Soviet
communism in the Tito-Stalin split and the grad
ual turning of Yugoslavia, strengthened by this
break, toward association with the West.
They see the Marshall Plan completing in three
vears, instead of four, the foundations of Western
Europe’s economic recovery.
They see the Communists losing in election after
election in the countries where Soviet force has not
been able to throttle political freedom.
They see their obedient parties no longer able to
carry out political strikes in France and Italy, and
totally failing in their efforts to tie up ports and
prevent the landing of American military aid.
They see the United States and the United Na
tions come to the defense of Korea and another at
tempted Soviet aggression successfully turned back.
They see Norway joining the North Atlantic Pact
despite the harhest threats which the Soviet Union
could utter, '
They see General Eisenhower steadily building
the numbers and strength of his European army.
They see the United States and, with the help and
leadership of the United States, the whole North
Atlantic community gradually addressing the mil
itary balance of the free world.
The see the unity of the West successfully resist«
ing the sometimes subtle, sometimes brazen Soviet
efforts to shatter it.
They see all of these things, and from the Soviet
side of the cold war it is a very dismaying sight, It
is not surprising that having pushed the button
which started the Korean aggression, they have now
reached for the lever to call it back.
These are the reasons why the Economist of Lon
don asks: “Can anybody reasonably doubt that if
similar courage had been shown in the years be
tween 1933 and 1939, Hitler's war would never have
happened?”
No ration other than the United States, it adds,
has in all history been able to persuade a group of
peace-loving democracies to arm themselves to
avert war,
All this is simply to report that in judging what
so do next it is well to look at what is going well,
in addition te what is going badly, in this arena of
apnflicting forces.

Weak Confrols Law Leaves
. .
Us Wide Open To Inflation
For the next month the United States will be op
erating under the same economic controls law it has
had for most of the Korean war period. With the
one exception that henceforth price rollbacks will
be barred. The one~-month’s extension was stop-gap
legislation to carry the country over until Congress
could complete action on longer-range measures.
Consequently the temporary retention of most fea
tures of the original law is not significant.
The rollback ban is a better cue to the current
mood of Congress. The Senate has passed a long
range bill which contains a price rollbak prohibi
tion though it allows certain exceptions. Its bill
also would prevent the price administrator from
using slaughtering quotas to control livestock
prices. If, as expected, the final proposal closely re
sembles the Senate’s version then Congress will
have placed definite curbs on the President’s pow
ers to affect favorably the cost of living. ;
In the minds of some lawmakers the present ex
tension of the old law may be linked with efforts to
argange a truce in the Korean fighting. They per
haps feel that if the war is concluded the “heat”
will be off and they can vote for a much feebler
control bill than otherwise. Since there is no known
intention to slow down the nation’s snowballing
defense program, tying inflationary controls to the
ebb and flow of activity in Korea hardly would seen
sensible. Rearmament will go on. Its impact upon
the economy will grow.
Greater and greater inflation already has cost the
American people billions of dollars in the hard stuff
of war. A continuing upward spiral could only steal
more from the taxpayer’s pockets, These are the
inescapable facts of America’s economic life in 1951.
The new price rollback ban coupled with impend
ing longer-range proposals in the same vein indi
cates that Congress right now does not choose to be
impressed by these facts, The lawmakers are im
pressed rather by the unpopularity of economic
controls among whatever particular segments ot‘
the economy feel their pressure. As in many times
past the legislators have demonstrated almost com
plete inability to resist the lobbying efforts of these
groups. |
To Congress the waste of billions for defense
through inflationary price rises is obviously not
immediately painful. What does hurt is the threat
of a special group to oppose lawmakers who dare
to vote controls upon it. Probably it is foolish even
to imagine that the men on Capitol Hill would
measure up to the demands of our current econonric
situation. They are plainly determined that the gov~
ernment shall not be master of the events ahead but
shall instead be mastered by them. In other words
the controls legislation now on the books or in the
works indicates that Congress is going to trust to
sheer luck that we will nt fall victim to a ruinous
inflationary whirlwind, That is quite a lot to leave
to chance. Only one thing is not in the realm of
chance. If things do get out of hand we can be sure
the lawmakers will find plenty of targets to blame
and none is likely to be on Capitol Hill where the
real responsibility will lie.
Namesake
There's a new hazard for American officials trav
eling abroad. It is having children born during their
visits, named in their honor. Assistant Secretary of
State George McGhee, in charge of Middle East,
South Asian and African affairs, is the latest to be
honored in this manner,
On a recent visit to Egypt, he inspected a new
rural social center, and was informed that a baby
born to Egyptian parents during the night had been
named after him. Secretary McGhee wished the in
fant luck. But later McGhee the American made ar
rangements to have a buffalo and a calf presented
to the parents of his namesake, McGhee the Egypt
ian, Delivery has now been completed, but that is
only the beginning. A sum of money has also been
presented to the family, It is to pay for keep of—
the animals.
The Weaker Sef!
Officials of Washington’s swank Army and Navy
Club have discovered a new that it is not easy to
change the habits of women. For years, the wives
and daughters of club members were forbidden to
enter or leave the premises by the front door. In
stead, they were required to use a side entrance.
Finally th men relented and posted a notice that
women might use the front door: None of them did.
The men then posted a notice that women “must”
enter through the frotn door. None of the ladies
complied. Finally, correctly estimating the power of
women, the club’s directors posted the notice that
women would be required to use.the side door. And
everything there is again serene.
If you were to take the sum total of all the au
thoritative articles ever written by the most qual
itied of psychologists and psychiatrists . . . you
would have an awkward and incomplete summa
tion of the Sermon on the Mount. — Dr., James
Tucker Fisher, psychiatrist.

we want to go or how we expect to get there,

along an avenue which we cannot find for our
selves.—Senator James H. Duff (D.-Pa.).

This question has our British

years, sharing their wealth and
health, watching the same govern

same number of eggs a week.
But there are signs of rebellion.

Sir William Darling that British
children up to the age of 14 wear a
“standard uniform” in order to
cut the cost of clothing.
Chief Fie-Crier against this idea
was John Taylor, the aptly named
editor of “Tailor and Cutter,” a
London trade journal.
“If all children are to wear the
same uniform,” he said, “then the
fundamental advantage of a uni
form—that other peopie are not
eligible to wear it—will immed
jadtely vanish.”
I don’t think this argument
holds water at all. It is typical of
another old-fashioned British idea
—that parents have any choice in
what their children wiil wear.
American Kids
Here in America the kids tell
papa what they want, and mama
goes out and buys it for them—and
there’s no nonsense about Con
gress having any any influence in
the matter.
Without the lawmakers ever ev
en considering the subject, Ameri
can children have pretty much
achieved Sir William Darling'’s
goal in this country. They have
ad%pted a uniform—the cowboy
suit.
It is now standard with both
sexes from the ages of two to
about 16. Up to about 8 they seem
to gallop about in full regalia—
guns, bandanas, chaps, lassos and
sombreros. After that they go
around like cowboys off-duty,
wearing only a pair of battered
blue levis and a sloppy shirt with
the tail sticking out.
Girls Cut Hair
More and more the girls after
the age of 10 are cutting their
hair short like the boys, and how
they tell each other apart is a my
stery to me~and, of course, none
of my business. What difference
does it make anyway? Girls will
be boys if they want to.
The problem of even identifying
their offspring at all is a task
growing more harassing to the
parents of small offspring. Under a
10-gallon hat how can you tell one
small cowboy from another? It
takes a real knowledge of movie
operas.
Returning to my tenement home
the other day, I met a worried
mother who asked if I had passed
her little son, She said he was
wearing a cowboy suit,
“One gun or two guns?” I asked.
“One."
“Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, or the
Cisco kid?”
“I believe he calls himself the
Cisco kid,” she said.
. “Certainly, Madam,” I told her.
“The Cisco kid is on the other
side of the playground. A young
lady who calls herself Miss Hopa
long Cassidy has got him down
and is beating his head on the
pavement. She says he is a horse
thief, and maybe you had better
hurry.” ;
My advice to the British people
is that it they do vote their kids
into a standard wuniform they
choose something beside the cow
boy suit. Maybe a nice durable
canvas straitjacket. It’ll be more
peaceful —and save bloodshed.
Kansas Hit B
