Watch Worker Union Hears Tobin Praise U. S. Foreign Policy The Truman administration is pursuing a consistent and ef fective policy against communism the world over. Secretary of La bor Tobin declared here yester day. In an address to the American Watch Workers’ Union at the Ho tel Statler the Secretary decried recent criticism of the policy and cited steps taken by this Govern ment in the Middle EAst, Europe and Asia to stop Red advances. Mr. Tobin said that when Rus sia occupied the northern prov inces of Iran in 1946 President Truman demanded that they withdraw from that oil-rich coun try under threat of being blasted out by the thousands of planes based then in Europe. Greece and Turkey Cited. “We stopped the Communists there,” Secretary Tobin said, “and we stopped them in Greece and Turkey. We supplied Greece with Army engineers and civilian and economic missions which helDed the loyal citizens of that Nation drive the Communist guerrillas beyond their borders.” The Secretary said that assist ance to Turkey helped prevent Russian acquisition of the vital Dardanelles and he declared that aid to Western Europe in the form of food, clothing, arms and money has materially strength ened the anti-Communist coun tries. “For 18 month6, despite stren uous efforts, the Communists have been unable to pull a crippling strike in France,” he said. In Korea, Mr. Tobin added, the steps taken had to be different because of different conditions. He said it was necessary to send in men, tanks and guns to pre vent the Communists from tak ing a position from which they could attack Japan. Had they succeeded, he said, a third world war probably would have ensued. MacArthur Incident Mentioned. Without mentioning Gen. Mac Arthur by name, he criticized the ousted commander’s proposals for extending military action and as serted that the course being fol lowed is most likely to succeed. Earlier, the Watch Workers’ Union heard Senator Taft, Repub lican, of Ohio advocate tariff law revision which would provide “peril point” and “escape” clauses. The Republican leader contend ed that the Tariff Commission should be empowered to deter mine the point at which imports of foreign goods imperil Ameri can industry, so that the imports could be curtailed or stopped. Under the escape clause, Ameri Cflfl mnnufft.rt.nrprs CArinndv jured by imports could appeal to the commission to reconsider ex isting tariff rates. ■slyvSI ' H^ T^TRAIGHT #) or SHAPED \! or CURVED the zestiest Pretzels are NABISCO’s! ■--- .
