He replied that it was perfectly possible, and shortly afterward the nomination was recalled. Then; almost at once, Jones’ name was sent up for approval as a commissioner’. $ Item 2 in the mystery is why this particular publican was preferred over a man who knew the work of the commission and was eager for reappoint ment. Jones is a modest example of Taft Republicanism now serving his fifth term in congress. Almost his only claim to distinction is that, as chairman of the appropriations subcommittee dealing with
WASHINGTON, June 27—“What Can Be Done for Europe?” is now the number one question in circles where international affairs are discussed, and it has everyone talking in circles. . Intimations that the U. 8. has a five or a 10-year plan sll worked out—that it will be a peacetime lendlease plan—or that it will be strictly a loan program with every expectation that repayment and interest will be demanded in full—all such gossip is purely in the realm of speculation.
Nations Must Agree Fist THERE 18 NO American plan for Europe, period. There will be no American plan till the European leaders get together and decide what they need. " Secretary of State George C. Marshall has said this. Undersecretary Will Clayton, in charge of economic affairs, has repeated and emphasized the words of his boss. Still the idea dies hard. It would be so much nicer if somebody had a plan. Part of this general belief that the U. 8. has a plan all worked out comes from the fact that Secretary Marshall now has a long-range policy planning staff, Head of this policy group is George F. Kennan, a career foreign service officer with 21 years’ experience, including three assignments in Moscow. Working with him are Joseph E. Johnson, American expert on United Nations security council policy; Ware Adams, formerly an adviser to Gen. Eisenhower in Germany, and Gen. Clark in Austria; John P Davies, formerly with the Chungking and Moscow embassies, and Jacques Reinstein, an economist with treasury and state department background. Carlton Savage, who was special assistant to Cordell Hull, acts as executive secretary of the group. It is a confidential staff with no administrative duties— its only job is to think. Secretary Marshall's idea that the problems of Europe must be treated as a whole rather than
LONDON, June 27.—~The British-French-Russian parley at Paris starting today is regarded here as crucial. Russia has the opportunity to call off her political ‘and diplomatic war against the west, renounce her isolation and enter upon terms of equality with the rest of Europe and America.
What Will the Answer Be? SHE MUST NOW ANSWER with “Yes” or “No.” Stalling will be equivalent to “no.” Europe’s plight is so desperate that it cannot wait another six months, let alone & year or two. Foreign Secretary Bevin answered with a .sharp “no” when he was asked if Britain intended to keep waiting until other nations made up their minds. However, no informed observer over here expects Russia really to co-operate, It is pointed out that every Soviet move since the Bolshevist revolution indicates Russia will do exactly the reverse. To help European natioris unite now under Amer-{can-British-French initiative is_ regarded as wellnigh unthinkable from Moscow's point of view. As one Britisher put it: “To Kremlin its Pp program {is' more important tha he

Clayton points out that ing the ability of the U. 8. to meet Europe's needs— as outlined by former President Hoover and ampli fied by Senator Arthur Vandenberg—is not a state department function. Concerning Europe's approaching great need for dollars with which to buy what it lacks, there be some misunderstanding. - Emphasis been put on the need for the U. 8. to foreign goods so as to give Europe more which to buy food, fibers and fuel. Undersecretary Clayton says that actually U. 8. has imported more from abroad before the war. There is a demand for still more imports.
