ALPES IMAP OLE Pg face TWO be Key West Citizen EUROPEAN DEFENSE TAKES SHAPE The United States will begin shipping arms to the nations of Western Europe early next month, according to information from Washington, where the adoption of a strategic defense plan by the twelve pact nations removes the final barrier to the $1,000,000,000 military. assistance pro- gram. While no official announcements have been, made as:to the results of the ‘con- fePeticg in ‘Paris, in which ‘the military leatler Of' the various countries attempt- ed to “fitegrate” their concepts for de- fense, it is believed that the first respon- sibility of the Unitdd States, in case of hostilities;;will be to open a strategic air offensive with the atomic bomb. This would not exclude the possibility of send- ing troops to Europe later. The first obligation of Continental Eu- rope, primarily the French, will be to supply ground forces with which to meet the initial assault. At the same time, the fleets of the United States, Great Britain and France will move out in concert to sweep and patrol the seas. Following this concept, the Western Europeans, with Great Britain in the lead, will be expected to provide the early air power for short range attack bombard- ment and air defense. This outline does not include any activity on the part of the newly-formed‘ goveritnent of West Ger- many but is based upon what the military experts believe the respective nations can mccessfully undertake. Only eight European countries are scheduled to receive military aid from this country. They include Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxem- bourg, Norway, Denmark and Italy. Three other countries which signed the Atlantic Pact, Canada, Portugal and Iceland, have not applied for assistance. 7 ’ deliwered to ~= wieawea ts a eee every People who strain themselves financi- gotten on Christ. |] ally to give presen should remember wtedden the heart of || that the best giving is the giving of self. : Ty FEARS ABOUT FARM SUBSIDIES THE ORACLE A subsidy subsidy, whether it is a paid to the operators of steamships, air - lines or farms. efeae oY YOUR BODY—DIE!
