out recommendations for carrying on the Marshall plan to aid Europe is as tough an assignment as was ever handed any presidential advisers The group is made up of 10 big-shbankers and businessmen like Owen D Young six nationally-know- n economists of the caliber of Dr Harold G Moulton of Brookings Institute two representatives of labor organizations and one lone representative of the public Bob LaFollette Jr of Wisconsin Since it was named three months ago the committee of 19 has had two meetings and done practically nothing There is little chance that the Paris report on requirements for the 16 western European nations will be broken down in enough detail for the committee to do anything about it at its next meeting That means action will have to be postponed until the end of October If the committee meets its present deadline of having recommendations ready for the president by Nov 1 it will have accomplished wonders That means congressional committees can't be called in before that date Allowing them a month for hearings it almost rules out the possibility of congress meeting in special session on this issue before Dec 1 To consider high prices it could of course meet ly

one of the worst weaknesses of government today — the need of able manpower Ever since the war ended it has been increasingly difficult for the government to draft good men for important positions During the war men from every walk of life volunteered to come to Washington but now — though in some respects the emergency is almost as serious — government agencies literally have to get down on their knees and beg qualified executives to come to Washington Speaking in his home state of North Carolina last week Secretary Royall pointed to this difficulty and urged not only business men but labor and farm leaders to give part of their time to the government In the opinion of Washington observers Royall put his finger on one of the most important factors in government No organization is any better than the men in it Trumanesque Simplicity Historians will never describe Harry Truman as having the great radio appeal of his predecessor in the White House But sometimes when the president speaks impromptu or is with only a few people he becomes almost Lincoln-esqu- e in the simplicity of his The other day a group of Gold Star Mothers went in to see the president They had only a few minutes with him and grandmotherly Mrs Mathilda Burling of Richmond Hill N Y the national president scurried among her charges trying to shush them along The president shook hands with all-rou- re-elect- ion so-call- ed nd high-ranki- availability of U S surpluses fox export It is now realized the Marshall plan won't work that way Anything sent to Europe is going to have to be taken out of Americans hides because there won't be any surpluses The fhnction of the committee of 19 may thus become one of justifying Marshall plan requirements before congress is The most acute problem grain It is how known that there isn't going to be enough grain grown to meet all demands The question therefore boils down to relative needs What is the minimum that Europe can get by on? How can U S consumption De cut to meet that need? Secondary questions arise on whether the U S should ship raw materials or finished goods If the U S sends raw cotton to Europe and it's made into cloth to sell to that may destroy a foreign market for U S textiles On the other hand since the only and way to put Europe on itsis feet to build make it De louna up its industries it may that the smart thing to do is ship the raw cotton Frown On European Independence The same thine applies to steel bars plates and shapes Shall they be sent to Europe to be made into Or farm and mining machinery?nere: shall the machines be made and Increasing U S production on American European dependence output is contrary to the spirit ei the Marshall plan Administration of these programs Will provides another headache to maise want gicuiia Ui congress money to Europe and let the con tinent plan and execute its own the money be recovery?
