Europeans Still Fail To Carry Their Share Of Load Under Marshall Plan By PETER EDSON KXA Waahlnfta CofT pondwrt WASHINGTON (NEA) Economic eooperatioa Administrator Paul Hoffman haa asked for next year'e Marshall Plan fundi. Last year It took Mr. Hoffman from January to August to let his dough. Ht asked for $3,800,000,000. What be got was $4,800,000,000. This year's ECA budget calls for $3,100,000,000. There's no telling what he'll get, but the hatchet mea were ready and waiting to cut him down. No one but demon auto sales man would stick at making his sale the way Mr. Hoffman has. Probably no one but a demon au to salesman could get as much for ECA as b gets, even after the cuts. The one big thing that Mr. Hoff man and the ECA have been working for is little understood. It is really the preservation of western civiliistion. That means it is a struggle against world Com munism. If Communism wins, western civilization will disappear. In its place will be substituted a semi-barbaric Oriental civilization. That is why this battle has to be fought in western Europe first not in the Orient. In the law which Congress pssi ed to get up ECA, two objectives were stated. One was to aid Euro pean recovery. The other was to promote European unity. The first of these objectivse has been coming along pretty well. The total output of goods and services in the 18 Marshall Plan countries was valued at $155,000,000,000 in 1938. In 1947 it was down to $138, 000,000,000. Last year it was $164, 000.000.000. This Is an HVi percent increase in two years, a 64 per cent increase over prewar, with all figures calculated at 1948 prices. One of the most frequent chargea thrown against ECA is that the Europeans are loafing, living lush off of American aid. This may be the impression of congressional junketeers who have the plush car peta rolled out for them, or for American night club tourists who hit the hot spots. What the fig ures show is that consumption of food, clothing, etc., by private con sumers was only $1,000,000,000 higher in 1949 than the $114,000, 000.000 of 1938, although western Europe's population has increased by more than 10 per cent OEEC's new report is not over- o&0 w .

Barring catastrophe, the dol lar gap can be cut to between zero and $2,000,000,000 by the end of the Marshall Plan in 1952. Where Nations Are Remiss It is the unification of western Europe that recovery has been most disappointing. OEEC the 18-nation Organization for Euro pean Economic Recovery which corresponds to the ECA in Wash ington is given credit for having developed a good technical staff of technicians. It will probably be continued as a subsidiary of the Council of Ministers after the Mar shall Plan is all washed up. But it is this Council of Minis ters which is regarded in Wash ington as making haste too slowly Paul Hoffman went to Europe last October in an effort to speed them up. He made them a Dutch Uncle speech on what they had to do to promote European economic unity It was widely hsiled, and accepted in Europe on general principlea. But it did not bring satisfactory action. Agreement waa made to cut in-tra-European quantitative restric tions on trade by SO per sent. But the report on Europe'a system of dual pricing was not acted upon. And nothing was done to set up a better exchange system for buro i sax: nmrnun BREAM!

The appointment of Dr. Dirk Stikker of Holland as political boss or co-ordinator of OEEC with the Council of Ministers was consid ered a good step. He is known to be devoted to the objectives of greater European economic unity. Irother Givtn Titic Of Flying Loggers Stanley Hatfield, Glide logger who won Lawson's contest for "axe-wielding." has been known as one of Oregon's flying loggers since last October when he and his broth er, Leslie, laid claim to that title by flying far up tne Norm umpqua river each day to work. They flew in Leslie's Piper Cub. The broth ers are no working for Associated Plywood and report , that they would fly to work there, too, if there were some place to aet the plane down. Latest feat of the Hatfields is topping trees with a chain ssw. which they find quite successful on a limited basis. On Of Stat School Escapees Is Locattd CENTRALIA, Wash., March 21.
