Europe's Capacity These Were The Fortunate Huts

For Greater National Output

MR HOFFMAN'S ESTIMATE

Paris, Oct. 6.

Mr Paul G. Hoffman, the outgoing Marshall Plan Administrator, said today that Western Europe could increase its gross national output by more than 60 percent in 10 years if it tried.

In his farewell speech to the

European Economic Co-operation,

Organisation for Mr Hoffmun said:

"Some people have said that we have a choice of guns or bread. I say no, we can have both guns and bread

if we work together even more closely in the months

The weightfest voice in the British Cabinet en foreign policy and affairs is that of Mr Ernest Bevin, and because of this his speech to the delegates of the Labour Party demands close attention.

Con.

Three aspects of this speech are arrest. ing:

(1) the vigour and forthrightness with which he tackled the subject of International relations; (2) the sistency and continuity of the

govern. ment's policy in foreign affairs; (3) the realism of his approach to the multiple problems connected with maintaining the peace and prosperity of the world. China, and her new professedly Communist government could be seen reflected in all three of these features of Mr Bevin's foreign palley speech at Margate. *The Foreign Minister, with becoming realismu, declared his support for the admission of the new China Into the United Nations heenuse, to withhold it, would certainly encourage a dismal. state of affairs-on entitled Chloese regime embittered by obstruction and, as a result, only 100 willing to become a satellite velce instend of willing and free member of the comity of nailons. Nevertheless, Mr Bevin, clearly speaking for British government, made it clear that sponsor- ship of the Peking regime for admission to the United Nations did not mean that the new China had carte blanche to he come a ghost voice for Soviet Russin In the councils. On the contrary, the British Foreign Minister reposes his faith in the traditional pollenco and 'diplomatic acumen of the Chinese to a point where he foresees the new China "inding ⚫ herself associated with the Democracies

perhaps gamble is the better between appeasement and founded on consistent meral motives, Mr Bevin's gesture of friendship to Mao Tse- tung is not to be considered advocacy of the obstructive and destructive principles of internn. Total Communism as preached and advanced by Soviet Rusin, but as an opportunity for China, “a great nation" as Mr Bevin describes her, to make a positive contribution to the tasting peace of the world through her association with the United Nations, Mr Bevin extended not only an Invitation, but a challenge to the new China. The Invilalion is to be. come a useful member of the pence-loving world: the challenge, to adapt her pro. fessed Communistic doctrine in such a way as to prove her right to membership of an organisation committed to the task, among other things, of maintaining inter- national concord; respect of the rights

of member nations; the economie, educa- tional and cultural advancement of back- word' countries, and the renouncement of military and political designs on smaller nations. The Peking government would be living in n. Fool's Paradise if it gained the impression from Bevin's speech that Britain was prepared to support admission to the United Nations without prior acknowledgment of the solemn obligations which membership

of UN involves. Britain's attitude and polley towards Chinn is clearly not one of ex- pediency but of honest conviction that the new China

can, if Rs lenders care to exert themselves, play a proper and notable part in resolving the interna- tional problems of the day. But this contribution can come only from sound and well proved democratic principles of international relations and understanding.
