WASHINGTON —When this country was struggling Into early man
hood, it was clear to our statesmen that if the tree of western demo
cracy were to flourish and bring fo rth fru it in its season, it would have
to be shielded from foreign interference.
The Monroe doctrine was enunciated. It was defensive, negative
rather than positive; it sim ply said to the w orld: hold what you have, but
take no more. I t was a large order for a young nation. I t covered a lol
of te rrito ry . It worked.
The world grew older and sm all­
er. A new, pow erful anti-democrat'.c
force arose. Am er­
ican leaders decid­
ed that if the tree
we had planted, now
in fu ll fru it, were
to continue to live
and flourish, tl e
ra m p a rts we watcl
ed would have to
embrace and pro­
tect our f r i e n d s
w hose
liberties
were threatened ev­
en m ore im m e d i­
a tely than our own.
The M a r s h a l l
B A V K H A G E plan was enuncia­
ted in June of 1947.
A fte r thorough debate in congress,
it fin a lly was given sinews on June
28 of this year.
What is the score today?
Mere announcement of the
Idea is credited w ith checking
Red revolution in Ita ly , w ith
blocking the tide of Com m unist
aggression in western Europe.
Now, a fte r only seven m onttis of
functioning, I believe that objective
observers w ill a dm it w ith Economic
Cooperation A d m in is tra to r P a u l
Hofman, a hard-headed bus'ness-
man, th a t “ it has not only stopped
the m arch of Com m unism , but has
turned the tide in the opposite d i­
rectio n.”
Only recently, Yugosla­
via drew up agreements fo r trade
w ith western Europe, thus smash­
ing one hole in the iron curtain.
The ECA is ju s t w hat i t was la ­
belled—“ enlightened self-interest.”
To a chaotic and jitte r y Europe, it
helped to b ring : a 25 per cent in­
crease in a g ricu ltu ra l productio»,
over the previous ye a r; in d u stria l
production abeve the pre-w ar level
of 1938; relaxation of in fla tio n a ry
pressures in a ll the E R P countries
except France and Greece.
Now what?
To convince our people that
the game is w orth the candle,
that whatever the cost, this is
the firs t bloodless wrar ever
fought, that it is cheap insur­
ance ag-ainst a shooting war.
To convince
congress that the
charges, among others, th a t ECA is
not
being
e fficie n tly
operated,
that big business is being favored
and little business slighted are un­
just, or if the charges are true, cor­
re ct them.
To Spsak Or
Not To Speak
Before congress convened, Wash­
ington was enjoying its usual u illu x
of national conventions, among tbem
tw o groups concerned w ith the o ral
ca vity—the dentists and the speech-
teachers of the nation. Although I
was invite d to attend sessions of
both groups, I exercised m y jaw s at
only one—the speech instru cto rs’
meeting.
The job of the speech instru ctor
is, of course, to get the learners to
use words to express ideas—a d iffi­
c u lt task. Not that the raw materii.1
is lacking. The d ictio n a ry is fu ll of
w ords, and the a ir is thick w ith
Ideas. M ore d .ffic u lt is getting the
w ords out of ’he d ictio na ry ana the
ideas out of the a ir into the lea rn ­
ers’ heads
The next step is to get the
learner to understand the mean­
ing of the words he uses and
then to translate them into ideas
w hich somebody else can un­
derstand — .aye! — there’s the
’rub!
Consequently the speech ins’ruc
tors have not only a d iffic u lt, but a
hazardous profession. Leaving a
man alone w ith a lot of words i3
like leaving h im in a laboratory
w ith a lo t of breakable atoms.
We know fro m recent reports that
some of the scientists w orking w ith
atom ic energy go blind.
I t ’s a wonder to me that more
speech Instructors don t go deaf.
I suppose speech teachers also
teach th a t most useful coro lla ry
a rt—the use (>t words to conceal
one’s m eaning. I t is one I practice
arduously.
A fte r a decade
and a h a lf cf
broadcasting, m ost o f m y listeners
haven’t the slightest idea of what
m y p o litics ate.
One p oint w nich was stressed at
the speech conference was that the
co m petition fo r pow er w hich ends
in s trife —dom estic, in d u s tria l, in ­
te rn a tio n a l—is due, c h ie fly to im ­
proper com m unication. I agree w ith
th a t assumption.
