Small Price for Peace...
Twice in this century the United States
has gone to war when it appeared as jF rival
states had become threats to the security of
this nation. Undoubtedly we would become
embroiled in a third World War to prevent
>rld.

When Molotov walked out of the recent
Paris conference the world was automatical
ly split into two camps. Machinery was set
in motion which could bring about a holo
caust incomparable to any dreamed of by
man.
As yet Russia is not strong enough to
constitute a serious threat, but there are
three economic changes which could easily
force a Russo-American war that would be
hard for the U.S. to win.
If the U. S. dropped into another ec
onomic depression similar to the last
one, and because of internal unrest, be
came so weakened that Russia could
safely become more aggressive.
If 4 the Communists got control of
Chins and India whose teeming millions
are crying for an economic savior.
(However, we need not worry too much
about this because it would take a num
ber of years for these countries to be-
v come strong enough industrially to be a
threat).
If the Communists got control of
Europe. In this event Russia might wall
be reedy for war in laas than ten years.
The latter change is the problem facing
us today. Tha purixme of ths Marshall Plan
is to hasp the Red flag from flying over
Europe.
Ip three sessions of the present Paris
ope’s needs and to appoint various sub-com
mittees to work in conjunction with it These
sub-committee are to ms ce detailed exam-
ifceations of major phases < f European econ
omy (food, fuel, transportation, power, and
steel). They will submit their reports to
the Steering Committee late this summer
On September 1, the Steering Committee will
submit for Washington’s approval the final
blueprint for the new path to peace.
If we are to lead Europe out of chaos
down this new road to security, Congress
must appropriate at least 15 billion dollars,
which is the figure arrivid at by State De
partment experts. However, many of our
short-sighted congressmen have been con
templating a 7 or 8 billion dollar slash when
it goes to a vote. If this happens, the Mar
shall plan will be a failure. It can not pos
sibly work without sufficient funds to back
it The absolute minimum Is 15 biUion dol
lars which is to be spread over a seven-year
period. U. S. financial and technical
perta will be able to exam ne how the money
is spent so that it will not be wasted as was
1
much of the 20 billion dol art we have pour
ed into Europe since V-E Day.
Although this is s large sum of money, it
seems very infinitesimal indeed when com
pared with the 850 billion dollars it cost us
to win the last war. Another war would cost
much more than that and could easily mean
ths and of our economic system.
Yes, svtn our civilisation. So, all in all,

The history of the rise and fall of third

Probably the most outstanding example of
