SCHUMAN’S PLAN France, is the guthor of a plan which calls for the pooling of the coal and steel production of Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France- In addition, he would eliminate customs duties and blend the wage-price policies Countrigs. "<<, taken'i = He 1 ‘the approach “bold” and “ambitious” but worthwhile, and suggests the countries sharing in it “will no longer be tempted to” wage war” be- cause such conflict will have become “un- thinkable.and impracticable.” There is much to be said for any scheme that will mobilize the economic power of the countries named for their common benefit. Nevertheless, we do not think much of the Schuman suggestion that his plan represents a method to pre- vent war or that it replaces the necessity for free countries to be in a position “to defend peace by arms.” It is quite possible that, in the course of development, the Schuman plan might make war improbable and-inipracticable between the countries involved? There is no reason to suspect that it will have any effect upon Soviet Russia, however. In the meantime, before the Schuman plan can get into operation and before it canbe discovered whether it will be bene- ficial. or not, the rulers in the Kremlin might decide to wage aggressive warfare. If this occurs, and the free countries are without the ability “to defend peace by arms,” they will be without the ability to try the alternate method that Mr. Schuman advocates.

It is very diffi- tult to believe that an experienced en- gineer would wilfully and recklessly pass through a signal warning him that another train is ahead. Nevertheless, the verdict of the jury in this case offers an interesting defense to all engineers who may be accused of criminal carelessness. All that they have to aSsert, and persuade the jury to believe is that they “blacked-out.” Perhaps, af- ter all, this is the explanation of many inexplicable accidents that occur.
