Financial Measures Would Help Promote World Trade. 1 As the Big Three met for-their historic conference in Berlin, the sen ate moved for passage of important economic legislation and the United, 'Nations security charter to assure lU. S. participation in postwar inter national cooperation to prevent war. While President Truman discussed the new Europe with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshall Stalin, the senate acted not only to pledge American forces for the preservation of peace, but also to furnish over nine billion dollars for. the recon- jstruction of the shattered continent and the facilitation of foreign trade, j As a result of«the senate deli be r-. ations, the U. S., with its fabulous I resources and vast industrial and ag ricultural potential untouched by j warfare, loomed as the stabilizing pillar of the new world the Big Three plotted in the former German capi tal. Because the security charter was dramatically drawn up by delegates fiom 50 United Nations in the pala tial setting of the Saf^lc Franciscu opera house, senate consideration of its ratification has overshadowed the upper chamber’s deliberations of the Bretton Woods monetary agreements and an increase in the lending pow ers of the Export-Import bank. Dealing with the exterior and more comprehensible actions of nation', the security charter has found wider popularity than the more abstruse financial measures designed to pr >- cemed with such intricacies as for eign exchange, long term loans, bills lof exchange, etc. Nevertheless, it has the enemy’s home islands, the Hor net’s planes formed the vanguard for grandsons, Richard and Don Rhame; and one sister, Mrs. John DuRant, of Lynchburg.
