In brief,| he thcught every traveling Ameri- | can, whether he likes it or not, is an “fficial ambassador, and as he ts himself abroad so he up good will or ill will for} builds his country. So Max figured it might be a swell idea to take a leaf out of the al book and let everyone get- ting a passport also receive a little nphlet on the importance of | spreading good will while traveling abread. The State Department hands out a lot of other dull visa information each passport which nobody - reads. It might as well hand | sme human, readable informa- instead. G. 1’S WERE AMBASSADORS Before the American Army landed in England, every G. I. was given: a small booklet telling him about the English people, reminding him that he was a representative of his country, that whatever he did would reflect on his country. The Army did an A-1 job of sell- ing the American soldiers on get- ting along with their allies and mest G. I’s took the hint. On the whole they were excellent ambassa- dors for the US.A. | I think what Max Gardner had in mind was that an invading army of tourists can be pretty much like an invading army in wartime. Even though we're fighting on the same side or even though we're spending tourist dollars, we sometimes get in each other’s hair. i The reucous American tourist who knows all, sees all and wants| to tell all, can cause his country; more harm than an Ambassador can patch up in a week. He thinks | that a surfeit of dollars can atone for a deficiy of courtesy. On the oth hand, the kindly American who much more typical of this | country can create more good will ! the paid Ambassador, because | there are so many i of them. { As we all know, getting mound' in Europe isn't so easy these days. You butt your head against a cer- tain number of slow-moving cus- tom officia slick-moving waiters and dollar-greedy hotel managers. That's why it's all the more impor- tant for Americans traveling abroad to Le reminded that even though th pay taxes to keep Ambassa- dors plenipotentiary and envoys ex- traozdinary on the job, they them- selves can do an equally important Jjob u[ representing lhen country abroad. I realize that some h.nw-n—ml Americans would resent being given this word of advice when their orts are handed out by the| Department. But T don’t think they'd resent it if they knew it came from a great human being like Max Gardner who was alwa thinking about his country first and | who isn't around to help his coun- | try any more. Sincerely yours, DREW PEARSON | | OIL COMPANIES ECA BONANZA While ecopomy-at-any-cost Senza- | tors are chopping oif dollars eoing to Europe under the Marshall Plan, they have completely overlooked ‘he vnfair profits folling back. Of these the big oil companies alone arex ' | propriated for i squeezing a fantastic profit. | this really amounts to is carpeth: | Marshan | Pelican: of 1948. part. ‘What! ith an 1mpor|am‘ a statement. s, he added, Lhat‘ ‘ a drink. g:lbung up more Marshall Plan dollars than the Senators have been able to save. The wmazing, little-realized isct is that 20 per cent of the money ap- the Marshall Plan is spent for oil products. And out of each dollar, the oil industry is Whe | ging — at the expens2 of European recovery anc er. i Here are some of the eye-open- ing ECA figures: It costs the oil companies only 40 cents for a bapl rel of Saudi Arabian oil. Yet these companies have been charging' Plan nations $2.20 per Larrel for fuel cil. After a greai deal of ECA pressure, this was cnally reduced to $1.75 a barrel. Yet for the same oil the Navy pays only $1.40 per barrel. Hcw the Navy is able to buy oil ! 35 cents cheaper is difficult to vn- derstand —particularly because of the short haul from Saudi Arabia to | Europe. | However, the probable explanation | imply is hat ECA is not a tough! customer. In fact, ECA isn't per- mitted to deal directly with the oil companies, merely puts up the cash and leaves it to individual countries | to arrange the price. ECA is constantly hammering at the oil companies, however, to bring their prices within reason. In- stead of using the last of public criticism, ECA is merely slapping the oil boys over the wrist in pri- vate. As a result ECA has got no- where. The Senate might also find it more value from the dollars spent rather than to cut appropriations. In that way, Marshall Plan dollars could be stretched much farther, The Senate might Note—The Federal Trade Com- | mission is also investigating oili profits under the Marshall Plan— to find out. whether the dnti-trust laws have been viclated. 95 CARRIED ON 'gross value of fresh fish landed in Alaska ports would | divert the catch to other ports. |refrigerated storage for President | Way of Canadian ports for bonded rail delivery to the U. 8. eastern market.
