he also appealed to the people to
try sincerely to understand the
point of view of others.
Stalin's Statement
"In this connection,” Marshall
said, “I think it proper to refer to
a portion of a statement made to
me by Generalissimo Stalin. He
said with reference to the con
ference. that these were only the
first skirmishes and brushes of
reconnaisance forces on this ques
tion. . .,
“Differences had occurred w tne
past on other questions, and as a
rule, after people had exhausted
themselves in dispute, they tnen
recognized the necessity of com
promise.
“It was possible that no great
success would be achiever at this
session, but he thought that com
promises were possible on all the
main questions, including demili
tarization, political structure of
Germany, reparations and econo
mic unity. It was necessary to
have patience and not to become
pessimistic.”

Peoplem the knew htiy Pontiac
Oar records reveal than an amazing number of
engineers and technicians choose Pontiac for
their personal cars.
One of America’s foremost experimental engi
neers recently explained this, as he took delivery
of a new Pontiac. "I really believe,” he said,
"that Pontiac is the soundest car built today. It is
in a class by itself for well-balanced excellence.”
Year after year, this is true of Pontiac. While its
engineering is always progressive, no feature is
ever included in Pontiac design until it has been
thoroughly and completely proved. You can take |
delivery of a new Pontiac any year with the
certain knowledge that it will serve you long
and dependably.
So regardless of when you expect to get your next
cat—make it a Pontiac. An extraordinary number
of people "in the know” will support your choice.
THE SOONER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER for a new
Pontiac, the earlier you will get it. So place your order
now for future delivery. And remember—you 11 get more
for your present car when you trade if you take good
care of it now.

rect and that they implied ‘‘a
greater spirit of cooperation by
the Soviet delegation in future
conferences.”
■ But we cannot ignore the fac
tor of time involved here.” he
continued. ”The recovery of
Europe,has been far slower than
had been expected.
"Disintegrating forces are be
coming evident.
"The patient is sinking while the
doctors deliberate
“So I believe that action can
not await compromise through
exhaustion. New issues arise
daily. Whatever action is possible
to meet these pressing problems
must be taken without delay.”
Three Objectives
He said there were three basic
American objectives which he had
hoped to achieve at Moscow — a
peace treaty for Austria, a four
power pact to keep Germany dis
armed, and agreement on direc
tives for guiding deputies in pre
paring for a start on the German
treaty at the next conference.
None of these was achieved,
according to Marshall, because of
the attitude of the Soviet dele
gation.
“Agreement was made impos
sible at Moscow,” Marshall said,
“because, in our view, the Soviet
Union insisted upon proposals
which would have established in
Germany a centralized govern
ment, adapted to seizure of
absolute control of a country
which would be doomed econom
ically to inadequate area and ex
cessive population, and would be
mortgaged to turn over a large
part of its production as repara
tions, principally to the Soviet
Union,
‘Jin another form the same
mortgage upon Austria was claim
ed by the Soviet delegation.
“Such a plan, in the opinion of
the United States delegation, not
only involved indefinite American
subsidy, but could result only in
a deteriorating economic life in
Germany and Europe and the in
evitable emergence of dictator
ship and strife.”
Tribute To Aide
Marshall closed his address with
a tribute to John Foster Dulles,
“a distinguished representative of
the Republican party,” who serv
ed as his advisor.
Marshall reminded Americans
that the German negotiations not
only involved the security of
Europe and the world and the
prosperity of all Europe, but
vitally concerned the American
and British people who, he said,
cannot continue to pour hundreds
of millions of dollars into Ger
many.
Texas has 254 counties, with the
average size of each being 1037
square miles.

MCWILLIAMS FIRM
TO ASSUME WORK
New Orleans Company Will;
Take Over River
Dredging In May
Dredging work at the mouth of
the Brunswick river will be taken
over by the McWilliams company
ol New Orleans from the dredge
Pennsylvania sometime in the
middle of May. U. S. District En
gineers officials announced yester
day.
The Pennsylvania, which has
held a sub-contract from the Mc
Williams company until the latter
can send some dredging equip
ment of their own, is at present
engaged in widening the Cape
Pear ^-iver channel below the
mouth of the Brunswick from 300
to 400 feet, the officials said.
At the present time, the Pen
nsylvania is scooping out approx
imately 25,000 cubic yards of mud
per day. Their schedule calls for
completing their part of the en
tire operation within a month from
the starting date, April 17.
The entire amount to be remov
ed is from 450.000 to 460,000 cubic
yards. The officials pointed out
that at the rate of 25,000 yards
per day it would take consider
ably less than a month, but exca-,
vating conditions vary.
Further dredging work, which
will be to restore the Cape Fear
river to a depth of 32 feet, widen
the Brunswick “ship turn”, and do
other work in the basin.
McWilliams secured the contract
for the dredging late last month.
The contract calls for a $592,000
job. Later, McWilliams let a sub
contract to the dredge Pennsyl
vania for the dredging in which
it is now engaged.

THE TESTIMONY OF OUR NATION
MI have before this expressed my personal
approval of the declaration of the British
Government regarding the aspirations and his
toric claims of the Jewish people in regard to
Palestine. I am, moreover, persuaded that the
Allied nations, with the fullest concurrence of
onr own Government and people, are agreed
that in Palestine shall be laid the foundations
of a Jewish Commonwealth.'’
— President Woodrow Wilson
“It is Impossible for one who has studied at
all the services of the Hebrew people to avoid
the faith that they will one day be restored to
their historic national home and there enter
on a new and yet greater phase of their con
tribution to the advance of humanity.”
— President Warren G. Harding
“I... express again mv sympathy with the
deep and intense longing wrhich finds such fine
expression in the Jewish National Homeland
in Palestine. The proposed plan furnishes to
the Jewish people an opportunity to devote
their great qualities to the upbuilding and
preservation of their own homeland and in
their own sphere, and I feel sure that the
people of the United States wall not fail to
give that earnest and substantial aid which
will be necessary if it is to meet with a full
measure of success.”
— President Calvin CooHdg*
“I... add my expression to the sentiment among
mir people in favor of the realization of the
age-old aspirations of the Jewish people for the
restoration of their nntional homeland.”
— President Herbert Hoover
**I know how long and ardently the Jewish
people have worked and prayed for the estab
lishment of Palestine as a free and democratic
Jewish commonwealth. I am convinced that
the American people give their support to this
aim and if re-elected I shall help to bring abont
its realization.*’

“The Government and people of the United
States have given support to the concept of *
Jewish national home in Palestine ever since
the termination of the first World War, which
resulted in the freeing of a large area of the
Near East, including Palestine, and the estab
lishment of a number of independent states
which are now members of the United Nations.
The United States, which contributed its blood
and resources to the winning of that war, could
not divest itself of a certain responsibility for
the manner in which the freed territories were
disposed of, or for the fate of the peoples lib
erated at that time. It took the position, to
which it still adheres, that these peoples should
be prepared for self-government and also that,
a national home for the Jewish people should
be established in Palestine. I am happy to note
that most of the liberated peoples are now
citizeng of independent countries. The Jewish
national home, however, ha6 not as yet been
fully developed.
“It is only natural, therefore, that this Gov
ernment should favor at this time the entry
into Palestine of considerable numbers of dis
placed Jews in Europe, not only that they may
find shelter there but also that they may con
tribute their talents and energies to the up
building of the Jewish national home.”
— President Harry S. Truman
