"WAR NOT OVER'

Cleveland, May 8.

Mr. Dean Acheson, United State Undersecretary. of State, speaking at Cleveland, Mississippi, today, said that the United States must con- tinue its vast foreign aid programme for sever- al years to come, because "until the various countries of the world get on their feet and become self-supporting, there can be no poli- tical or economic stability in the world, and no lasting peace or prosperity for any of us.... "Without outside aid, the process of recovery in many countries would take so long as to give rise to hopelessness and despair," Mr. Acheson said.
