Monday, September 24, 1951 Gl ERAL MARSHALL RETIRES The retirement of QGeorge Catlett Marshall as Secretary of Defense removes from public office a man who has served his country for many years with unusual intelligence and fidelity. George Marshall was Chief of Staff and organ- jzed the largest and most powerful army in our his- tory during World War II. He was largely responsible for its guidance and played an important role in con- nection with the coordination of the forces fighting Germany, Italy and Japan. Subsequent to the war, General Marshal became Secretary of State, serving for two years. His notable contribution in this field was the development of a plan for the Uniteéd States to buttress Europe against | ance. ‘Plnn but its formal title is European Recovery Pro- The plan is popularly known as the Marshall gram. It has worked with signal success, contribut- ing largely to the present hope of building up suf- ficlent armed strength in Europe to relieve this country ‘of some of its burden in connection with preventing the Russians from runing roughshod over Europe. While General Marshall tried to retire, being| anxious to get out of the pressure of public affairs, he was called back into service last year, to become Secretary of Defense. Once again, he made a major contribution to the stabilization of our vital military program and, largely because of public confidence in | his integrity and judgment, our rearmament program, together with the reorganization of the armed serv- ices, continued to operate on an even keel. This is the third time that General Marshall has retired from governmental service to seek rest and relaxation on his farm at Leesburg, Virgjnia. Presi- dent Truman. in acknowledging his resignation, de- clared that “no man ever has given his country more distinguished and patriotic service than have you.” For this, and other reasons, the General !s entitled to his retirement after a long, active and loyal service in behalf of his country. FRATERNITIES GROW UP American colleges have not been getting very good publicity lately (and we are thinking of paid football players, bribed basketball players, cheaters in examinations and charges of Red leanings in cer- tain classrooms). It is refreshing to note, there- fore, that one important phase of college life is growing up. According to a recent magazine article (Guide- posts), the traditional “Hell Week” of Greek letter fraternities is disappearing from college campuses. Fraternity pledges are no longer wearing freak hair- cuts, dressing like fools and performing like idiots during their pre-initiation week. Instead, they are! banding together to do worth-while community chores en masse — “Help Week” instead of “Hell Week.” This magazine article gives the Alpha Tau Omega chapter at Indlana University credit for starting the idea, but notes that it has spread to many other campuses. Wherever the credit belongs, it is some- thing that should have been done long ago. “Hell Week” always was silly and ridiculous and very often downright dangerous. Communist encroachment by lending economic assist- The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) would not have dared to do so even had they been permitted. In contrast, a thin-faced, frafl Ttalian wearing spectacles walked timidly up to the rostrum and made a plea. “I raise my voice for a new re- public which is striving toward the lasting and constructive peace which you are seeking,” he said. “A nation of toilers is ready and determined to work with you in the foundation of a more just and humane world.” There was no applause when the dication that he had won support for the cooperation he was seeking. Nor was there any thought that this man could long remain at the helm of the turbulent, wavering coalition of parties which then gov- erned Italy. Today, however, that man, Pre- mier De Gasperi of Italy, still frail, still thin-faced, still wear- ing horn-rimmed spectacles, is in the United States, not as a sup- pliant representing a conquered na- tion, but a friend and partner in defense cooperation for western Europe. And having just come from Ot- tawa and a discussion of mutual NATO defense, De Gasperi knows better than most how drastically the diplomats have reversed them- selves since that frigid day in the Palace of Luxembourg in 1946. Homespun Premier It is quite possible that Italy would not be playing this role of full partnership had it not been for the man who arrives in Wash- ington today. He is not a prepos- sessing figure. In fact, youy ecan't imagine anyone more the opposite of Mussolini than Alcide De Gas- peri—drab, demure, modest, home- spun. But the exact opposite of Musso- lini—in more ways than one—is what TItaly has needed in these harassed postwar years. And De Gasperi’s Jjfe has been the reverse of Mussolini’s almost from the day it began. It began, incidentally, not in Italy but in Austria. De Gasperi was born—70 years ago—on the wrong side of the tracks. The son of a minor Austrian government official in the Tyfolean Alps, where Austria and Italy meet and where slices of territory have changed hands over the years. De Gasperi studied at the Uni- versity of Vienna, got into the labor government movement, was elected to the Austrian Parliament as an Italian separationist, battled against both the Austrian aristo- cracy and Italian Communists, and finally, after World War I had shifted his part of the Alps from Austria over to Italy, was elected to the Italian Parliament. Christianity And Politics It was in this period when the first seeds of Italian Fascism were sprouting that De Gasperi helped found the popular party, later the Christian Democratic Party, based on the principle of applying Christianity to social and political welfare. The foundation of that party | came too late. Also the train on which De Gasperi first rode to Rome to take his seat in Parlia- ment arived too late. Ahead of him arrived Benito Mussolini and his Fascist Black Shirts. De Gasperi’s train had been shunted aside to make way for Mussolini’s in the night. It was inevitable that a man with De Gasperi’s liberal leanings be jailed by Mussolini. After a year and a half, however, he was res- cued by the Archbishop of Trento and later given a job as librarian for the Vatican. Incidentally, it was an interview with King Victor Emmanuel which led to De Gasperi’s jail sentence. He and other party deputies had called on the king to demand the ousting of Mussolini—a con- versation which the king promptly relayed back to I1 Duce. There were those who claimed Victor Emmanuel had never ap- proved of Mussolini and wanted to keep him after World War II. But De Gasperi knew better. And 1E*“WHE " that " conlversation he had with the king 30 years ago which contributed to the fact that Victor Emmanuel died in exile and Italy is a republic today. De Gasperi emerged from the Vatican library after 14 years in exile to take part in guerrilla fighting against the Germans and to be elected Premier of Italy in 1946. It is a tribute to his common- sense political sagacity—and some people say to his youthful training in balancing above alpine precip- ices—that De Gasperi is still in oficfe today. A dozen cabinets have come and gone in France. A new election is about to be held in Eng- land. But' De Gasperi continues at the helm in Italy. The reasons include: First, his sense of falrness; second, his deep religious conviction that Christian- ity must be applied to politics. The first was demonstrated after he won the national elections in April, 1948. The victory was con- sidered a resounding defeat for the' Communists, and many leadéts in De Gasperi's party demanded that the cabinet be filled entirely from the ranks of Christian damo- crats. He refused. “It wouldn’t be fair,” he nl‘. “This was a victory for democracy; not for any one political party.” And he proceeded to appoint to his cabinet some of the strongest men from the Republican, lberal, and socialist parties. Such is the man who has pullbd Italy through the rigorous postwir perifod with a pro-American gov- ernment, despite the fact that the largest segment of the Communist Party outside Russia is under his rule.
