As if you didn’t know. THE ORACLE SIMPLIFYING NEW PROGRAM The “bold, new program” of Presi- dent Truman for improving the under-de- veloped areas of the world involves no large-scale financial assistance, according to W. Averell Harriman, special represen- tative to Marshall Plan countries, who re- cently told newspaper men that any finan- cing must come, for the most part, from tndtvidual countries concerned. This is an interesting declaration. If it is authentic and reflects the mind of the Chief Executive, the major contribution that the United States will make tothe Marshall Plan countries and their col- onies will be in providing technical and scientific assistance. In addition, Mr. Harriman pointed outthat the Economic Cooperation Ad- ministration will “make every effort” to promote the flow of private capital to colonial and home countries but the fi- nancing arrangements would have to come from the individual countries concerned, without any guarantee by the Govern- ment ‘of this country to safeguard the prin- cipal_of private investments abroad against expropriation. “Apparently, this part of the program envisions an attempt to recreate an inter- national atmosphere to encourage the flow of private investments without the U. 8. government guaranteeing the safety such funds, If the extent of the President’s “bold, new program” is limited tothe purposes sketched by Mr. Harriman, it will ren- fer important assistance to other countries butdt will not represent an unlimited in- vestment of American resources for the hasepese of improving the economy of un- Ger-developed areas. = The program will not attempt as Such bs earlier opinion seemed to indicate od, if thus restricted, will minimize the Pmptation of interferring with the do- of estic processes of other lands. If the nited States guaranteed investments »road, the American Government would » gravely coneerned and vitally interested any social or political threat to the ability of the investments. ° ——$ 7 FREEING FREE TRADE “ + In the days of Roosevelt ere were reciprocal trade agreements ith many countries. That became the Belicy of the Democratic party. It was free ade under an assumed name. The plan Tihs never been finished, principally on ac- @unt of the war conditions, But it is an ef- rt to reconstruct business relations be- tHeen different governments throughout tBe World. So let's be Patient with the sfheme of the Democratic Administration, which is aiming in every way rpadjust World trade relations. . and Hull possible to —_— Every community, regardless of its and wealth, or the lack of it, caf do muchsto impfove itself and its inhabitants. Key W Vest is no exception, Florida's cabinet slashed $10 million from budget requests at a session held on Friday. Even at that, as Governo¥ Warren remarkéd, the state still needs $85 million more for maintenance, operation and pro- posed new construction for the next two years. While the cabinet has been ilfting, it also has been considering the imposition of additional taxes to make up, the threat- ened deficiency. But thé cabinet intends td” ‘make fur- ther cuts. It Should be borne in’ mind that bureatictats in Tallahassee; as “well as bureaucrats in other state governments and super-bureauerats in Washington, al- ways ask for more than they expect to get. Aside from President Truman, who is cry- ing out for an additional $4 billion in taxes, Washington seems to be in a mood to cut deeply into budgetary requests. That mood has been created by the Hoover eotninittee, which has pointed out that efficiency can be stepped-up and hundreds of millions saved taxpayers by coordinating’ many of the multiplicity of buréaus. How closely congress will follow the Hoover sug- gestions can not be determined with any degree of acuracy at this time, but one thing is eeftain—thé President will not get the increased taxation for which he has asked. If taxpayers ever needed a breathing spell, that time isnow. Let us hope that Florida’s cabinet will continue to use the pruning knife extensively, so that new tax- ation will be kept toa minimum on which bureaus can operate just as efficiently as they are operating now if they substitute careful spending for lavish spending. Governor Warren found, upon assum- ing his office as state executive, that a bulging bag was left for him to carry. We recall, two years or so ago, when Florida’s bank balance was $80 imillion or so. By the time Fuller Warren took over the gover- norship, thé balance had been dribbled away till it fell to $7 million. The smart advertiser can reap bene- fits tomorrow by intelligent use of the printed word today. Individuals with surplus money to spend might take a tip from smart busi- ness men andlay up somecapital fora later day. STALIN FEARS ATLANTIC PACT Proposals relating to peace, recently coming from Communist sources in Italy and France, have been followed by some talk in Moscow, imecluding an_ interview with Premier Stalin in which he excused himself from meeting President Truman in Washington on the grounds of his phys cal condition. The arm-chair experts have been try- ing to figure out what the sudden interest in peace means and most of them have about come to the conclusion that what Russia now fears isthat the western na- tions of Europe will become firmly allied under a defensive pact which will be con- siderably bolstered by the proposed collo- boration of the United States and Canada. This conclusion seems to make sense. It is in line with the Soviet government’s notes to Norway, protesting the apparent decision of the Norwegian government to look into the possibility of becoming aligned with the North Atlantic nations. The Russians contend that this pact is designed to bolster the aggressive policies of strong nations and offer the Norwegians a non-aggression pact to prove that they have no desire except to live at peace with the Norwegians. This is interesting, of course, but the nations of Europe, now outside the Soviet orbit, afe & little bit worried over what might happen to themif, and when, the Russians change their minds. They real- ize that they are utterly helpless if they stand alone and that, before Russian treaties will be conclusive, there must be a military balance established which will make it possible for the Communists t6 lightly ehangé their minds. : a In the United States, one reads in: various mediums, that our officials are not yet anxiotis to hold any decisive parley with the Russians for the very same rea- son. Any agréement made will depend upon Russian forbearance in the way of aggression until there is in existence a military force that approximately bal- ances the preponderance of the Russian nation. When this is a fact in being there is every reason to believe that the con- tending gfoups may be able to work outa solution that will avoid warfare, nn nT ESE NERS SEAESTT ESET SESE REESE ESSE PP e Cw wy ee oe aes West In Days Gone By AS TAKEN FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF FEBRUARY 14, 1939 President Franklin D.
