In that program was mentioned one point four of the proposals he made and one which raised some eyebrows and set off no end of speculation on when and how." POINT FOUR" was a proposal to share United States In varied fields with other friendly cations of the world. In that proposal, the President asked congress to go along with a plan to let such nations in on how the U.S. does things economically, mechanically, industrially. After speculation died down there was nothing more said about point four until recently. Then, President Truman told congress exactly what be wanted. First, he asked for 43 million dollars to help the backward countries of the world through U.S. aid. CALLING that a first step, he listed some other factors also as preliminaries." These included: Technical assistance to be provided through the United Nations cr directly by the United States. Private Investment to turn undeveloped areas into producing for the world economy. Authority delegated by the congress to the President to give him power to administer the program and authority to delegate It to the secretary of state and to other government officers as he deems appropriate. WE are here embarking on a venture that extends far into the future," he told congress. He added that grinding poverty and the lack of opportunity for many millions of people in . . . certain regions . . . constitute the greatest challenge of the world today."

British-America- How would Idealism fare against expediency in the matter of atomic bomb use in a war crisis? That was a question with which congress was being asked to deal. Senator Flanders (R., Vt.) asked congress to declare the atomic bomb as a weapon of defense only for the tree nations not to be used Unless an aggressor hurls it first. TO RISK a masterpiece of understatement, that could be a most dangerous policy as even a child could see. Give an agressor first shot at us with the bomb before we retaliate? Some critics of such a plan might reasonably demand: How silly can you get? An enemy equipped with enough bombs, and permitted first drop, could put this nation, or any nation, in such a fix that there'd be no use and no opportunity to retaliate with the bomb. From here It looks as though Senator Flanders may have nothing but his trouble for his work. FLANDERS explained his plan as one which he believed might speed the United Nations efforts to write an agreement on world-widcontrol of atomic energy. Asked whether his plan might not arouse criticism that this country is denying itself its foremost weapon, the senator replied, "I dont think we should sell our immortal souls to the devil." But in the American concept, stemming from 1776, to sell ones freedom to an enemy through nonuse of the bomb might be tantamount to the situation which the senator finds distasteful. e ECONOMY: Warning Sounded President Trumans administration was coming in for some criticism as a result of the current bipartisan economy drive in congress. Senator Aitken R., VO warned that if the drive succeeds, It will put a powerful political weapon in President Trumans hands --and in an election year, at that Aitken argued that it would be tantamount to handing the President a two billion dollar campaign fund for the congressional elections next year.
