" When the various departments of the began to gather data for the President to be used as the basis for preliminary legislation for his bold new program of establishing the machinery of world cooperation for the development of undeveloped countries, it was a surprise to many to learn than many of these agencies are by no means starting from scratch. WASHINGTON nt gov-emme- of agriculture of course, has had the longest and most successful record In this line a good 10 years. In 1939 It hsd become all too evident that in a world where the free flow of trade was threatened by rising hegemonies, we had to look to our nearer neighbors for many things which we did not produce t borne, and which they could, but did not, produce themselves. The department -- was quite willing to authorize the department of agri culture to lend some of Its technicians to other countries and to help such countries as were willing to cooperate to set up statagricultural ions for the of putting techniAmerican ques Into action. For those who may have questioned the expenditure in this connecCongess pur-po- tion, se there is some satisfaction in paid, from the standpoint of all concerned Including the peoples of the countries involved. On the aversge the United States puts out one dollar for each three dollars spent by the other countries. In 1943 Latin American countries were expending $300,000. In 1948 they Invested $1,178,000. The countries la whleh the stations are located, an official of the department explained. ' supplies land, buildings, associate technicians, office and service personnel, equipment and supplies available within the eountry, and funds for operating expenses. The United States supplies the know-hoand the specialised equipment necessary. The plan pays out, the department explains, this way. Assistance In raising crops such as cocoa, coffee, certain fibres, medical plants, tea and rubber, has increased the revenue from them. They are products in demand in this country, we dont or cant raise. The dollars . they earn are turned into many manufactured products which these countries purchase from us. In the last special report issued by the American military government on the Licensed Press of Germany, we have an example of another type of experience which the United States has had in attemptfor ing to provide the know-hoa nation. foreign t Some of the eeeda whleh .have, been planted and which It la hoped will grow, thanks to the application of American techniques, are those which should produce a free and democratic press In Germany, It would be somewhat rash try to teach the Germans all about the publishing business. After all Gutenburg, who invented printing, was a German, and ever since his time the Germans have taken the lead in many of the mechanical processes connected with the publishing business., But when the American occupation forces moved in, there was nothing that resembled a free press In Germany, and if there had been it hardly could have flourished under the conditions which then existed. Even today the best we can expect is a nearly tree press and that is what it admittedly ia. In the United States cone and in Berlin there are now 56 newspapers licensed by the United States. These papers own a cooperatively operated news agency. These publications are not, and never have been, They are carefully read by the military government officials, and some have been suspended, after warning. But these occasions have been few. The mission of the military government in the field of the press, as planned and applied to date, has for Its first point: in the United States and Great Brit- ain or other democratic countries. What have been the results? In the view of the military government: and Democratically-mindeGerman editors trustworthy nd publishers have established I solid core of Independent and democratlo newspapers In the U. 8. area of occupation. They have been encouraged to maintain their Independence and objectivity against all attacks and to resist the encroachment of government or of other speo-lInterest groups and protect their right to bring the news of Germany and the world to the people of Germany and te comment upon It. The question that remains, however, is this: when the controls and the existing regulations are removed, will the Germans graduate from a nearly free press which the Americans have encouraged to a genuinely free press which Americans consider an essential, of Will the Germans, democracy? who for centuries have accepted control and regimentation from above, be able to start out afresh and make use of the democratic techniques to which we have attempted to expose them? That is one kind of know-hoit is hard to pass on. d al w - t "pre-censored- ."

Zone In Germany and to prevent the resurgence of Nasism, mill tar Ism, racism, or nationalism In the newspaper and news agency field. The special report explains that controls which were Imposed when the papers were first established in order to conserve scarce materials, supplies, and equipment and in order to train editors, publishers, and Journalists in the tradition of a democratic, free press have been progressively lifted so that for two years at least the U.

The Great Plains always have furnished hazards unknown to other parts of the North American continent. As C. Warren Thornwaite, . soil conservation expert of the department of agriculture says of the Great Plains: In a desert, you know what to expect of the climate and plan accordingly. The same la true of humid regions. Men have been badly fooled by the semi-ari- d regions because they are sometimes humid, sometimes arid, and sometimes a cross between the two. Yet It la possible to make allowances for this, too, once the climate Is understood. One of the worst blows In the winter storms was struck in the southwestern part of the area affected, southern Nevada and northern Arizona, where ordinarily there is feeding. . There are low altitude ranges there which make it unnecessary, under normal conditions, to provide winter feed. When these were cut off there Just wasnt any feed available. The early settlers who struck west were suspicious of the plains. They didnt realize that the gama and the buffalo grass which covered those plains and provided plenty of sustenance for the mil lions of buffalo which roamed them unmolested, could resist drought as efficiently as it does. For miles there would be no water In sighi to the men in the prairie schooners so they took for granted the lane was not liveable and pushed on t the coast. The grass, as long a it was there and the buffalo wer good conservationists and didnt i overgraze it reduced the after rains and prevented erosion. But the first adventurers hao westward-hwritten In their hats anyhow, and they headed towaro the coast. Then came the farmers. The cattlemen were driven further west, the plow broke the plains and dug the dust bowl.
