The néw declaration, in extending the definition, makes it clear that an attack against the West Germans, whether or not occupation forces are attacked, will be.met by the armed forces of the three governments. ..It is also agreed that a West German police force of 30,000 men be permitted to deal with the problem of internal se- ‘hisy-under certain circumstances, mi increased to 50,000 fem. In ad- ditgon, plans were laid to increase steel Pr@iuction in Germany so as to permit a sal ntial increase in Western German’s coigribution to the defense of the western ar@ of Europe.

India is often mentioned as a likely area for the application of the Point Four Program. In this huge country, there is a famine report current almost any time. An unexpected local drought, flood on crop failure causes disaster that is grad- ually alleviated as the government shufs fles supplies over inadequate railwaya and roads. Robert Trumbull, writing to The New York Times from. New Dethi, says that the Assam earthquake and the floods in Penjab and Kashmir, together with crop failures and disruption of communid cations, have brought several million In« dians to the verge of famine. He points out that this situation “is just the usual thing” in India where calamities that would bring out scare-head type in the United States pass with little notice.
