At a meeting in Washington of the American sta tistical Association, held on December 28th, a majority * of the nation’s top economists deliberated at length on 1 the outlook for 1954. What they really was [ that 1954 should be the second belt year in our entire , history! Yet, all over the land, In the press, on the radio, and i on television, this story was turned into a prediction of an “Orthodox Recession for 1954”!

Speaking for the foreign minis ters of the United States, Geest Britain and France, French For eign Minister Georges Bldault said; “Peace is urgent everywhere. The bold offer of the President of the United States offers, for the first time, the possibility of envisaging progress toward a solution of the problem of the atomic threat.” x Bidault's appeal was addressed directly to dour Soviet Foreign Min ister Vyacheslav M. Molotov, and he was backed up by U. 8. Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles and British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden. MOLOTOV MAT EXPLODE Molotov was expected, as his big move, to explode a "peace bomb shell” in the form of an offer to end the cold war and give sweep ing security guarantees in exchange for a neutralized Germany and the scrapping of Western defense alli ances. Bidault said the difficulties of turning atomic energy to peacetime purposes were “immense” and that the threat of atomic war could be swept away only if the big powers agree on general limitation and control or ymamepta. Bidault say Yttropßttr be the conclusion of German and Austrian treaties. He warned Molotov that the West considers free all-German unifica tion. Then, he - *sa}d, the four pow ers should negotiate a peace treaty that would be “neither a peace of vengeance nor an imposed peace.” Local Jaycees To Hear Brooks Rev. J. W. Brooks.
