speeches predicted the presidents election freely and often is already getting bored with 1949 because he sees it all so clearly The Truman "fair deal” the program of promises the president made to

conservatives which will end the Truman "honeymoon" in May or June but a Truman victory by September is assured and the country will move toward salvation at home and peace abroad On all these predictions Franklin is confident that he will get par for the course of 1949 Entirely to the contrary Da id Lawrence asserts that business has suffered such a scare from the Truman program that industrialists will cut expenses curtail employment and halt expansion plans during 1949 Unintentionally says Lawrence Mr Truman and the Democrats because they know so little about what makes the wheels of industry’ turn can bring on a depression in 1949 and can blame business for it Period of Socialization Thomas Stokes believes the Democratic "fair deal" is ushing in a period of socialization m several fields including the steel industry which ha been slow to expand with the demands of the times Stokes thinks Mr Truman has a good chance of putting his program over in 1949 Drew’ Pearson says the White House will pull all stops to get the entire Truman program through congress in exactly six months If the Truman Democrats botch the job they’ll be defeated in 1950 says Marquis Childs but if they put their program over they'll set a political pattern for the country for 1949 and for a lone: time to come Dorothy Thompson' predict that the suicidal decay of the western

who ha just returned from Europe savs there is one fact that must be faced for 1949 The fact is we cannot by any stem of alliances hope to build up a permanent armed force capable of holding the Red army on any’ line in Europe The most we can do he says is to set up a North Atlantic alliance of Britain France the Benelux Canada countries and the United States with provision of establishsufficient

agencies during that period that he had no time for unscrambling There is no time limit on the grant of reorganization power asked for President Truman When Mr Roosevelt did get around to tackle the reorganization problem in earnest in 1937 his request for authority’ in that line became entangled with his proposal to pack the supreme court A congress more than Democratic sidetracked both these measures Used War Power The followirg congress in 1939 voted Roosevelt reorganization authority but under so many wraps as to render it Ineffective President largely’ Roosevelt made many’ changes under his extraordinary war powers and the same degree of authority was granted President Truman for a transition period of three years ending in April 1948 Most of Mr Truman's reorganizations however were overturned by’ the Republican 80th congress The main hope that congress now will grant broad reorganization authority to the president lies in the bipartisan character of the commission recommending it and especially the fact that former President Hoover is its chairman GOP May Agree So long as President Truman sticks to the recommendations of Mr Hoover and the other Republican members of the commission the chances of Repub-- 1 i c a n congressional backing would seem to be good Rep Clarence Brown of Ohio one of the fiercest Republican house partisans is a member of the

strive of White House general ager closely approximating the secretary of the British cabinet - Influence of U S on European Affairs Brusquely Sobering a By JOSEPH ALSOP PARIS — For any American in his sense it ia brusquely sobering to discover the powerful influence of Washington on internal politics — we at home would consider them private affairs — of the nations of western Europe A year and a half ago only American financial aid saved most western European nations from succumbing to dictatorships either of the left or of the But this phenomenon has right now developed into something much more complex and in some wavs alarming Here in France for instance the basic law' of the European Recovery’ program has the effect of pushing the Paris E R P Administrator David Bruce into the center of the whirling maelstrom of French politics Crudely Speaking Very crudely speaking the in France is now grand contestmen of the center— between the the members of the Socialist Radical and MRP parties — and Gen Charles de Gaulle and his followers The Communists were the menace that first ’caused Frenchmen to rally’ to De Gaulle The demand for De Gaulle the strong man always grows louder when political or financial instability increases and subsides proportionately when the outlook improves It is something of a miracle that the French center has survived thus far through the long succession of Ramadier Schu-ma- n Reynaud and Queuille cabinets Nonetheless it has survived And since the passage of Prime Minister Queuille’s rather precariously balanced budget most wiseacres even give the center at least a chance to survive in the future Survival Difficult Survival of the center is difficult for two reasons Certain issues such as the Radicals’ deep disagreement with the Socialists about state planning deeply’ the center parties And with a few such eminent exceptions as Foreign Minister Robert Schuman and the president of the republic Vincent Auriol the center lacks big men Survival has been possible only because Marshall aid has eased the situation here and because the old Socialist Auriol is a political master hand Aui iol’s part in effect has been that of the wise old leader of a herd of cattle on the range Whenever the wolves of the right and left comem dangerously close as they do every' governmental crisis Auriol gives the warning call Then the whole circle with herd forms up in their horns outwrard the crisis is somehow surmounted andea new’ centrist government is formed The center strategy is to continue to repeat this maneuver indefinitely’ if possible until better times weaken the extremist groupings of left and right Arises Inevitably The American role in this process arises inevitably from the conditions congress attached to the European Recovery program For every dollar of Marshall aid the French government is first required to sterilize an equivalent sum in francs in what is known as the countei-pa- rt fund Second the French government is forbidden to draw which will upon this fund amount next year to more than 250 billion francs unless the government is following fiscal ' policies The traditions of French government finance have never been especially puritanical The tendency therefore has always been to put off all such unpleasant actions as imposing new taxes and dismissing surplus bureaucrats until disaster actually threatened Now however when disaster begins to loom the first step is to go to David Bruce and ask for a few billions from the counterpart to ease the situation Being strictly restrained by conBruce injunction gressional must then replv that he cannot release the billions until the causes of the threatened disaster have been removed Drama Played This drama was played before Prime Minister Queuille offered his vitally important fiscal and budgetary reform program to the French chamber last month Furthermore Queuille actuallv sought the votes of certain leading deputies by informing them that unless the French budget was thus balanced further release of counterpart funds would not be approved by Bruce The argument was powerful since the French government now relies entirely upon the counterpart fund to finance sits program of internal investment economic improvement and But the inevitable effect i to place Bruce in the position of a sort of Dutch uncle sitting on the cash box and Insisting that nothing w'ould move him except a balanced French budget Thus "American interference” is grumbled against in many circles while the Gaullists even make the extraordinary demand that all releases of counterpart funds should be stopped in order to precipitate a final crisis and force a French election “non-mflationar- y” di-yi- de TRADE YOU R I A W A'?
