Even if European sales in the
United States were doubled—thus
restoring Europe's pre-war share
of this market —the volume would
represent less than one per cent
of this country’s total output and
would “only be scratching th^ sur
face of the American market,”
congress was told.
"Thcmu'ticjpating countries must
intensifythem export drive, to the
dollar area* if they are to attain
independence from extraordinary
outside assistance," the report wont

It also will be necessary, the
report said, for the Marshal), plan
countries to give their exporters
incentives to enter the tough Amer

EGA Administrator Paul U#, Hoff-

of the dollar’s earned in export

Indications are that the ^hiinges

vhore drastic., changes now would
be expensive. , ---
The, car industry’s model jplan-
Iiing has to be far-sighted, pi-ovi-
sion has to be made in the styling
and general designing for possible
engineering advances already under
development. Sometimes many
months of planning on body de

The 1950 models yet to come
will have ii lot of eye appeal. En-
glncering-wise they are not likely
to have much new other than the
highey compression power plants
and new types of automatic trans
missions. .

the economic unification of Europe,
noting some steps in that direc

“on the whole has been slow."
Inuostrial production in j the

Everyone knows that success comes not to
those who merely desire it, but to those who
achieve it through long, hard work.
It is odd' then, that in the spiritual area of
life some people should expect blessings to
come for the asking.
Those who really understand PRAYER know
that it’s more than mere asking. It is seeking.
It is the hungry search for truth and moral
enlightenment. . .digging for spiritual gold in
the hills of life.
;• , 'j
But PRAYER is something more even than
seeking. It is knocking . . . meeting life’s ob
stacles bravely . . . waiting with patient deter
mination until closed doors open . . . entering
portals that the more timid pass by.
We wouldn't really need churches if spiritual
growth came for the asking. But we do need
churches to help us seek the treasures of God.
And through our churches, with the united
strength of millions of Christians, we knock
on the portals of the more abundant life—and
there find it.
