Editorial Comments.
From Other Angles

Durham Herald
The danger to democracy, the American
way of life, and all of the other things enunn.
Grated by so many speakers and writers these
and the other things viewers-with-alarm par.
amount as it is the tendency of people to quar-
rel with and distrust their leaders on the one
hand and demand leadership on the other.
Just the other night w heard a group of
men more than a little disturbed over the
trends Of the war and steps being taken in this
country to meet probable national defense de-
mands. The view of all was that the increas.
ing emergency requires positive leadership
and genuine unity. In fact by the ending OF
the meeting the unanimously approved slogan
was: I'VE demand leadership"
But even in that informed and calm atmos-
phere, there were outward signs that with
some it was not just leadership that was
wanted, but leadership by a certain individual
or a certain group.
Our system makes for that sort Of thing, of
course, and in ordinary times it is good. We
do not think it is any great handicap now and
certainly will not be if shortly out of current
hesitancy there comes a positive leadership
that is aware of but not obedient to petty dit.
ferences that divide.
One Of the lessons yet to be learned by q
great many, however, is that in a land like
ours if and when you have positive and daring
leadership Of the kind now needed and de-
manded you must accept it from those in
authority. By the same token, people who
demand leadership in times like these are re.
quired to contribute a degree Of self-discipline
and cooperative obedience that dissolve the
things that divide and melts political petit
ness.
We feel safe in saying that so far as the
group mentioned above, positive leadership
asserted by persons in authority, regardless
OF name or political label, would find and re-
ceive wholehearted backing. That, we think,
IS true in the case of the great majority OF
Americans. particularly those alert to gather
ing. dangers.
But the unfortunate fact is that we have with
us those who are reluctant to forget old
grudges and differences and make positive
leadership possible and productive. There
are those who are more interested in seeing
this or that candidate or party gain an ad-
vantage than they are in seeing the national
defense program move along, regardless OF
political flare-ups, advantages, and disadvan-
tages.
1t mystifies us that rational people can be-
have that way at a time when a decrepit old
French general is presiding over a captive
French Government which is conducting a
farce trial to fix the blame for the collapse of
France, when everyone knows that cheap DO
itical wrangling participated in by all hands
is the real explanation.
This simply isn't a world in which canker-
Gus politicians can fight their petty battles
and at the same time save their country from
Internal decay and external attack. And we
Americans are fools deserving of what we
will get it we follow the French down that
road. l

WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK ID.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The State depart
ment's question mark, William Christian Bull
lit, may or may not be going back to his post
as Ambassador to France. The feeling around
the state department is that he won't. The
feeling around the White House is that he
may stick around as the Presidents personal
advisor on foreign affairs.
For this, he is incomparably suited. Few
would deny that tall, 1.-the, debonair Bill Bullitt
knows more about Europe than any other liv.
ing American.
If he is comparatively unknown on this side
of the Atlantic, it is only because he has been
so much away. For Is years since he left
Harvard law school, he has lived mostly
abroad. Practically all of that time he has
moved in the highest diplomatic circles.

He could have been a Philadelphia play.
boy, for his family was one Of the oldest and
wealthiest in the city. But after Yale and
Harvard, he turned to diplomacy as if it were
his inevitable path, taking only one detour as
Washington and foreign correspondent for the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There is a story that when young Bill Bullitt
was going over on the peace mission with
Woodrow Wilson, the wartime President was
outlining to his secretaries and assistants the
detectives Of the Versailles treaty. He traced
for them the borders Of a new state which
was to be carved out in middle Europe:
Czechoslovakia Bullitt examined the map
and then said, But, Mr.. President. there
are 5000, 900 Germans living in that area"
Wilson was amazed, asked how the young
man knew. Bullitt replied that he had been
there, had seen them, talked to them. Finally
convinced, but still puzzled, Wilson s a i d.:
That's strange. Masaryk never told me
that"
It is that kind of knowledge that led young
Bulitt to break with Wilson, to denounce the
