This article informs about political developments around the world. The occupation statute for West Germany represents a severe defeat for the French, who were forced to accept a degree of centralized power far beyond anything they had agreed to during the conferences of the previous eighteen months. After Defeating Attempts by G.O.P. conservatives and isolationists to reduce the amount requested for the next fifteen months by the Economic Cooperation Administration, the U.S. Senate finally voted to authorize the full sum. Everybody Who does not grow his own food ought to spend all his spare time urging the U.S. Congress to enact proposed new agricultural program, since it means that all the food grown would be allowed to reach consumers at market prices, without government support, storage of "surpluses," or deliberate destruction.
