Three Steps
For World
Union Told
Welles Outlines
Foreign Policies
By Adeline Garbarino and
Gene Gould
Three major steps have been
taken toward world union and
peace in the past five years, Sum
ner Welles told an attentive audi
ence in McArthur Court Thurs
day night.
They are, ne said: the leader
ship of the United States in the
United Nations during the past
two months, the Marshall Plan,
and the Schuman Plan for con
trol of coal, steel and iron in West
ern Europe.
Tg'Tth much international eon
tr*, said Welles, Germany could
niOt rise as a great military pow
er and the first step toward a
united states of Europe, includ
ing Germany, will have been taken.
Policy Essential
The foreign policy the Unit
• ed States is now following is es
sential, Welles continued, but it
is at best a negative policy.
As a more positive program he
recommended that the U. S.
strengthen its propaganda to the
satellite countries and prove that
we have a better alternative to
communism.
“Little by little the ‘Iron Cur
tain’ will rust and drop away if the
people of the United States have
the courage to keep on sacrificing
and hold out against communism,”
the statesman asserted.
siiau m. tan
The Marshall Plan has been an
outstanding success in many coun
tries, Welles declared. The stand
ards of the British people have
improved a great deal in recent
years and in France, industrial pro
duction has increased almost 140
per cent.
Welles referred to the Schuman
Plan as offering the most practi
cal means for controlling German
militarism.
“It can be the first great step
in the creation of a United States
of Europe, including Germany,” he
declared.
Roosevelt Policy
Welles also discussed the late
Franklin Roosevelt’s ambitions for
a peaceful and unified China and
As®,.
“Roosevelt did not sell China
down the river when he and Stalin
entered into an agreement at the
Yalta conference,” Welles contend
ed.
“If the present administration
had followed Roosevelt’s policies
after his death, much of the tra
gedy and suffering of today would
have been avoided,” he said.
Welles said that he does not be
lieve that the Red China govern
ment should be recognized by the
United States or admitted to the
United Nations: (1) a United Na
tions commission had been sent
to Korea to investigate what has
happened there. (2) Until the
Chinese Communist government
at least shows an inclination of
abiding by international rules of
government.
U. N. Guiding Power
“The United States is the guid
ing power for the United Nations,
which is now stronger in actuality
than it has ever been before,”

Welles Airs Views in Press Talk
Opportunities in the foreign service are now better than ever for
college students, visiting statesman Sumner Welles told the assembled
press at a conference Thursday morning in the Student Union.
“Pay is much better now than it was in 1915 when I started out as
secretary of the embassy in Tokyo,’’ Welles said. “Employment is
gained through examinations rather than favoritism and this is at
tested by the fact that foreign service jobs are occupied by men from
all sections of the country. Furthermore, there are more applications
for these posts than ever before.’’
Discussing the present state of the world, Welles said, “The Mar
shall Plan, the Schuman Plan, and the success in enabling the United
Nations General Assembly to take immediate and prompt action in
