Ht/ added that “if we can snow the world that we can be successful in an undertaking of this type, the Iron Curtain will move back of its own accord—per haps disappear entirely.” The plan for inventory of the earth’s resources was a culmina tion of his central theme: that if Ihe United States does not aid in Solving the acute problem of sub- marginal existence facing, ap-4 proximately 90% of the world's people, our own way of lifers doomed. In support of the practicability' of his proposal, he cited the case of England. That country under took to survey its resources daring the war. Van Valkenburg claims that had that country not taken such a step, it would very likely have faced a very serious economics crisis today . . . one far more dis astrous than it is wrestling, with at the present time. According to the Clark Univer sity political geographer, there are two approaches to economic unifi cation. More specifically, to the economic and possible political unity of the countries of Western Europe.

Conversely, he feels that through co-operation among nations, such as the receht Benelux agreements (among Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg), and last week’s five- nation economic aid pact, are steps in the right! direction. The reason for Europe’s reluc tance to enter into such pacts immediately after the war stem med from one idea current at the time, Van Valkepburg believes: “We in Europe knew what we were fighting against . , . w* didn’t kjnow what we were; fight ing for, however.” In commenting on the proposed Marshall Plan to aid Europe, he said that that type of economic aid was what Euronean countries were waiting for. “But don’t worry,” he cautioner, “America will not have to contin le supnorting these coun tries.” They will eventually get on their fee., and will do all in their power tc' establish economic tran quility o i the Continent. In th< question-and-answer pe riod following his talk, Professor Van Valkenburg was showered with questions regarding the par tition of Palestine (an act which hri thinks undesirable and unnec- cessaryl, and the possible out come, of the Italian elections of April 4{i, election in Italy April unusual one,* he said, ly not an Italian elec tion, but merely a contest be tween I the United States and Russia . . . on a neutral ground.” He predicted that unless some thing unforeseen occurs, such as a communist-inspired revolution, Italy w*Ul vote democratic in the forthcoming election.
