Socialism Can't Compromise With
Communism, Japan's Ex-Chief Says
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
I've Just spent some time with an Interesting transient Tetsu
Katayama, Japan's first Socialist premier who came to power in
the country's first postwar election. He Is out of office now and
has been making an Intensive study of socialism's progress in Eu
ropean countries, In preparation for a fresh Socialist campaign
In Japan.
Nippon's Socialist leader 1 a
62-year-old lawyer who was elect
ed Premier in May, 1947, by an
almost unanimous vote of the
House of Representatives under
the new constitution. However,
he actually was a minority pre
mier, since his party didn't have
a majority.
Couldn't Parform Miracles
The people expected Kataya
ma to perform an economic mir
acle by lightening the !oad of the
man-on-the-street overnight. His
government did win praise for Its
apparent sincerity in attacking
the accumulated economic prob
lem, but he couldn't deliver fast
enough, and so fell after some
ten months before a combined
conservative and communist
gault, aided bv the desertion of
his own left wingers.
Katavama has a quiet and un
assuming personality which one
would scarcely expect to una in
the two-fisted leader of a great
party. But you quickly sense one
source of his power In the fast,
straight-thinking In which he re
plies to questions. He wastes no
words.
No List For Communism
The former premier Mid he
had found that European Social
ist governments were making
good progress in rehabilitation.
Some of them, however, were
making the great mistake of try
inff to compromise with commu
nism. He was emphatic In de
claring that socialism and com
munism couldn't work together
that there could be no successful
compromise. The Japanese so
cialists, he said, would develop
along their own lines, quite apart
from the communists.
Katayama said he believes that
moral rehabilitation must be an
Integral part of Japan's recov
ery. He reminded me that he is
a Christian, whereupon I asked
him if he felt that the principles
of the Sermon on the Mount could
be applied In his country in view
of the fact that most of Its people
belong to other religions.
His conclusion was quick and
Interesting. He said that those
great principles could be accpet
ed by any religion, providing the
ological areumenta were left out.
In short, a person needn't sub
scribe to Christianity to be a be
liever in those principles.

PARIS, July 28. .P Britain's
critical dollar shortage has ex
ploded Into an economic crisis for
all the Marshall plan countries.
The unexpected British request
for Sfi34.X0.nOO more American
aid than had been tentatively al
lotted to her broke like a bomb
shell among the other countries.
This was especially true since
the others had become resigned
to a slash In available funds.
leaders of the Democratic
Party In the Unitpd States Con
gress agreed yesterday to an ap
propriation of about 16 per cent
below what the European coun
tries had hoped to receive.
une trench ottlcial said yes
terday the British request "could
break the Marshall plan wide
open."
An American economist com
mented that the other European
nations "will never stand for it
(the British request)."
The British said revised calcu
lations showed the sterling area
would have a dollar deficit of
$1,547,000,000 for the year start-
ing July 1. It Implied that Bri
tain would need that much dol
lar aid or would have to cut its
imports and undergo a drop in
living standards.
For 1948-1949, Britain received
$1,239,000,000.
