Show wider vista of ua 3 molicy hint WA nation may be embarking on mai major j or Peace fare effort by news analyst abid commentator washington it was a sizzling day in the capital the town moved slowly like a lazy setter stretching and hunting the shade even the trees were half asleep the air pushed hard against your brow and cheeks the asphalt yielded to ones footfalls like brown grasses in a trodden field but we had bad to attend the regular press and radio conference of the secretary of state nature languished but we knew the dispatch room was spluttering splutter ing and sparking in sharp shudders with the news of an anguished world america we sensed but understand quite how was em barking 0 on n a co colossal ossa undertaking W wo e walked down the air cooled corridors co rr 1

i like ike darts efforts to pierce what we all felt was a screen conce concealing conceals alb n g vistas much wider than Bauk baukhage bage the formal state ments had yet revealed was there a greater plan lying behind this program tor for aid to stricken countries the program outlined by secretary marshall at harvard the question was asked although we knew that even it if the secretary had a vision wider than ours he could not reveal it yet his answer frank enough under the circumstances and not unexpected was that if there was some further plan behind the one already revealed piecemeal he was not going to talk about it lie ile did reveal that russia was not outside the be pale of americas I 1 ca 9 reb rehabilitation habilitation abi eff efforts orts in t theory at least th this Is was surprising to some who had stud led president dent Tr mar halls and ben cohens most recent statements and yet not so surprising as we recalled the n nature of other talks not public which had bad hinted at larger things Is this a real effort to achieve a lair fair understanding with russia is the diplomatic word words I 1 am wondering whether those unspoken words of the secretary of state could possibly describe the immensity of americas task the task which is envisioned in the plans which secretary marshall would not talk about I 1 I 1 say this because I 1 have learned a new wo word rd which it seems to me might m bear within it a vital a hopeful concept like hauptmann in the sunken bell when he said tearl all the gladness all the sorrow of the world sparkles within it think of the dynamic quality of other words fame Fam eRiches riches fair play charity honorl this new word of mine which marshall might have used had he known it Is peace fare fard 11 it was used in a paragraph oan ol 01 a letter to the editor in the new york times time s the writer was A M wartime chief of the psychological ch branch of the dutch war ministry and a member of the psychological study group in england this is the paragraph in those wartime daas days when the success or failure of the war was at stake psychologists and specialists c cia lists in allied fields mobilized every weapon at their command to wage psychological warfare why cannot we now when the peace Is at stake mobilize as carefully tor psychological peace tare fare all right there you have it pea peace celare fare 11 not simply limply psychological yc ho peace fare now but economic and political and moral peace fare that Is what I 1 am hoping and praying the im unspoken spoken plan of secretary hull will embody A hard long expensive campaign but one launched not against anybody but tor for everybody a campaign to stop war to save humanity I 1 say everybody because marshall marhall s pointed out that he envisioned s boned russia as a part of this plan for the economic rehabilitation of europe without this economic rehabilitation there can be no rehabilitation of the body politic or the body and soul moral it must be a campaign to banish fear fear of the atomic bomb which we possess for the moment fear of the far more terrible weapons of destruction that any madman might put to use it is a campaign to banish the hate bred by fear A campaign to nourish the body so that bodily things may be forgotten and man may pursue his spiritual destiny toward freedom toward decency toward a world where the major effort Is dedication to ate he common good nothing like this has ever been attempted before nations have loaned money for the tha purpose of earning a neat dividend or to wring some political advantage from an impecunious or bankrupt government many fair promises and high sounding founding ideals have been written into covenants signed only to be broken when opportunism dictated a reverse english but here Is something new and different something rather bright and idealistic has been added what we hope Is an honest effort to wage peace fare to the malice of the few in the spirit of charity toward all it may he be all eyewash I 1 know ive seen a lot of castles fail all but my feeling is that if we get out of the sc offers seat for a moment if we drop the cynic pose and put peace fare into the national vocabulary we may make it work 14 I 1 a 6 1 wl DESIGNED FOR THE LIVING first up the ramp to the new model paraplegic house built as a special housing unit at haboran
