reason for fighting this war to
it's bitterest and total conclusion.
For point 8 SAYS that pending
the establishment of wider and
more permanent system of gen.
eral security, the disarmament
of such nations tas threaten or
may threaten aggression outside
of their frontiers> is essential"
That means the unlimited dis
armament of Germany. The war
is, in that point, no longer ad-
dressed against The Nazis but
against Germany. The proposal
is utterly to destroy the German
Army in a world seething with
hatred.
Dictated Peace.
I believe with Mr.. Churchill
and Mr. Roosevelt that no peace
can be negotiated with the Hitler
regime and that it must be de-
stroyed. No peace can be nego-
tiated with a regime whose whole
record is one of negotiated

been broken-that have been
useful springboards for more war.
But point q the Atlantic char
ter means that no peace can be
negotiated with any German
government that would have the
support of the German people or
of the German Army.
1t commits Britain and the
United States to an attempt to
defeat the German armies and
the German people and impose
a dictated peace. And it is a
very great question whether this
is possible and an even greater
question whether it is desirable.
Victories Are Hollow.
Germany's arms are imposing.
The German armies are VIC
torious from Marseille to the
gates of Moscow. from the Baltic
to the Black Sea. But the vic
tories are hollow, because the
peoples of Europe cannot be
brought to terms with Hitler's
new order. The conquests are a
military triumph and a political
fiasco, for Hitlers new order is
not one in which any non-Ger-
man people can live, except as
slaves.
But the eight points of the
Atlantic charter are also a polit-
ical fiasco Vaguely phrased and
reminiscent of the Europe whose
anarchy created Hitler. they pre-
sent an order already repudiated
by the people of Europe. The
new order of Hitler is political
fiasco plus triumphant arms, and
the Atlantic charter is political

The Great Game of Politics

And Opposes Him When He's Right

ately cast aside their opportunity.
Apparently, they are bent upon
openly exhibiting their own truck
ling to these bullying special inter-
ests rather than upon indicting the
trucking of the administration.
One result is that they have gone
SO far in the wrong direction that
the farmer lobby leaders themselves
are afraid of the reaction and the
President is given the opening,
which he promptly seizes, to urge
restraint upon the very forces he
has encouraged to be unrestrained
Partially, at least, the Republican
course will relieve the President and
his Price Administration of the
blame justly laid upon them for
supine acquiescence in labor-farmer
dictation. Also, it seems likely to
insure the passage of an utterly in
adequate bill, which will not keep
prices down nor avert initiation.
Stupid Politically.
The Republican attitude is bad
from the standpoint of party poll
tics, and it is worse from the stand
point of the national interests,
which are much more important.
From the first angle it is particu-
larly stupid. For the Republicans
should have learned by this time
that they can't beat Mr.. Roosevelt
at this farmer-labor game. no mat
ter how high they bid nor how far
they 60.
The policy the Republicans should
have pursued seems so obvious that
the surprise is they could keep away
from it. Once the country, through
passage of the lend-lease bill. be-
came committed to the defeat of
Hitler, the opposition cue was to
support the administration foreign
policy. but at the same time demand
that the President straighten out
the mess he has made of the defense
organization. adopt the tested de-
vices of the last war, put an end to
defense strikes, stop playing farmer
labor New Deal politics and replace
the incompetents.
Missed the Boat.
Here they would have been on
sound ground. 1t is undisputably
true that our foreign policy cannot
be effective if our domestic affairs
are botched Administration in
competency in handling the latter
has made the dangers from the in
side as great as those from the out
SIDE. That would have been an un-
assailable position for the Republi-
cans. 1t would have paid good po-
litical dividends and been patriotic
at the same time-in fact, an ideal
position. But did they take 1t?
They did not. In the main. they
have gone in the opposite direction
pulling back on the foreign policy
and now cooperating to make the
domestic situation worse.

how they can 60 much lower. The
stupidity of their attitude on foreign
policy is matched only by their
stupidity on domestic policies. In
the foreign field where the Presi-
dents course is approved by the
people, they have resisted nearly
every step, and almost produced a
major disaster by party soidity
against the extension of the selec-
tive service. In the domestic field,
where the President is remiss and
unSound, they have supported his
position and interfered with the ef-
fort to avert a threatened initiation.
In brief, they oppose Mr.. Roosevelt
when he is right and support him
when he is wrong
And in both cases they clearly
have been inspired not by principle
but by the kind of small politics.

The latest example of the warped
Republican intellect is the manner
in which the party membership ap-
pears to be lining up in the House
against inclusion in the price con-
troll legislation of any power to
regulate wages or food prices. There
is every reason the Republicans
should take the exact opposite po-
sition.
Lost Their Opportunity.
In the first place, it is the right
position. AS we'll as Mr.. Roosevelt
and his administration politicians
they know that there can be no ef-
fective price control unless CELL
ing is put over wages and food
costs. Canadas experience and ex-
ample present the most recent and

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Russia, France and Great Brit
ain will send new representa-
tives to Washington in the next
few months.
Russia's Ambassador, Constan-
tine A. Oumansky, has already
been replaced by the former
Soviet Foreign Minister, Maxim
Litvinoff. Vichy's Ambassador.
CASTOR Henry -Haye. will soon be
replaced by Francois Pietri, for
mer French naval minister and
at present Vichy Frances rep
resentative at Madrid.
Finally, there is a persistent
rumor that Britains Ambassa-
dor. Viscount Halifax, may be
replaced early next year by the
former Prime Minister Of AUS
tralia, Robert Gordon Menzies.
All these changes are due to the
desire of the respective govern
ments to strengthen their ties
with the people of the United
States rather than with the
American Government.
Oumansky, who left Washing
ton about six weeks ago, was
shelved by Premier Josef Stain
to utilize for Russias benefit the
excellent relations with the
United States which he inherited
from his predecessor, Alexander
Troyanovsky. His G.. P. U. men,
tality and his manner generally
won him the dislike not only of
high ranking Government off
cials in Washington but of many
others with whom he came in
contact. The once popular Soviet
Embassy became a deserted place.
Became "Westernized."
Litvinoff appears to be an ex-
cellent choice for the post. He
is not "insular" in his outlook.
The fact that he has incurred
the displeasure of the Commu-
mist party and at one time was
under strict surveillance of the
G.. P. u, is likely to stand him in
good stead in this country.
AS Russia's representative at
the now defunct League of Ma
tions LiUvinoff became Western
ized.' He learned the tricks of
international intrigue and came
to excel in them His moderate
views on international affairs
and his stubborn opposition to
the Russian German alliance,
which made the invasion of Po-
land and the start of World War
II possible, contributed to his
downfall. But his political de-
mise was due more than any
thing else to his Enghsh-born
wife. She was typically bour-
geois. At Geneva she conducted
political and social salon.
dressed fashionably, spent good
Soviet funds with Partisan cou-
turieres, drank cocktails instead
of vedka and refused to heed the
warnings of G. P. U. agents to
act and behave like a good Com
munist. She was exiled to the
interior of Russia by Stain long
before Litvinoff fell into disgrace.

This Changing World
New Russion, French and British Envoys
Coming Here to Bolster Ties With Americans

Acting on the discreet advice
of American emissaries, Stain
decided to pull Litvinoff out Of
oblivion and appoint him as
Russia's Ambassador to the
United States. If Nine. Litvinof
accompanies her husband the
Embassy on Sixteenth street is
likely to become an important
social center in Washington.
vichy Mission Failed.
Ambassador Henry-Haye Is a
French senator and as such is not
supposed to remain out of his
country for more than six months
at a time. He failed completely
in his mission to the United
States because of his reputed pro-
Axis tendencies. Marshal Petain
extended his mission for another
six months, however, after the
first period expired, because M.
Henry-Haye convinced him that
it would be detrimental to the
prestige of the Vichy govern
ment if its Ambassador were re-
called under the pressure of pub
lie opinion in the United States.
Now, however, French Chief of
State Petain has decided to send
the smooth Pietri, an old hand
in French politics, to represent
the Vichy government in WASH
ington.
Reports of the imminent recall
of Lord Halifax have been nu-
merouS. London seriously con-
sidered it last summer, but the
British Government treats its
officials kindly, even when they
fail. The custom is to boot them
upstairs. Lord Halifax, a men,
Der of the House of Lords. already
is high in the British official hier-
archy, and there was little in
the way of consolation that
Prime Minister Churchill could
offer him. Lord Halifax, how
ever, wants to return to India as
viceroy. a post he once held with
some credit. Matters Of high
policy required, however. that
the present viceroy. Lord Lin
lithgoW, he maintained at his
post for another year. But it
is probable that Lord Halifax
now will be given the post he
covets.
Aussies Seek Precedent.
The former British foreign sec
retary was appointed ambassador
to the United States because
Prime Minister Churchill wanted
TO indicate in this manner his
high regard for the United States.
The Amba ssador was never fitted
for such job, but he tried his
best and did not succeed.
Mr.. Menzies is considered not
only by his fellow countrymen
but by the British Government
itself as the ideal parsonage for
the Washington job. He intends
TO combine the role of Britains
Ambassador with that of the
head of the purchasing and other
commissions Britain now has in
this country. He is said to de-
sire to centraIze the activities of
all the missions under one head.

Questions Of Political Strategy
Concerning the War Are Roised

fiasco plus a grim and inadequate
defense. And a stalemate in po-
itical bankruptcy Is not a VIC
tory.
The greatest danger of this war
is that it will fall into the nihilis-
tic pattern of its originators, the
Nazis, and become sheer aimless
destruction that over years of un-
resolved struggle will produce dis
ease, epidemics, famine, and such
a madness of hatred and blind
ness as will leave Western civil
ization a rotting shambles.
This war has occurred out Of
the incapacity of governments
democratic or totalitarian-to or
ganize an international political
and economic system compatible
with the world uniflcation that
modern science and technology,
transport and mechanical energy
have made imperative. National
ism as we have known it since
the renaissance, is incompatible
with the realities of modern life.
1t is like a proliferating cancer.
We shall have no peace by the
revival of the doctrine of origi-
nal sin by which one nation is to
be made the scapegoat for all.
To assign exclusive guilt for
this war is to begin to lie. There
is an active guilt and a passive
guilt, a guilt immediate and
guilt remote. Granted that the
active guilt is the Nazi's; the
passive guilt is upon the whole
world of western nations, who
played, each one, its role in Gre
ating Nazi-ism: The arrogance
of Britain; the grasping, narrow
vlSioned mlddle-class spirit OF
France; the elf-righteous and
negative isolationism of America;
the bigoted fanaticism of Russia;
the petty egotism of the small
states of Eastern Europe, and the
terrifying inverted ego of the
Germans.
Panic and Insecurity.
Above all, the panic and the
insecurity that have afflicted all
peoples since 1918 is a root cause
of the war: the subconscious
realization telegraphing contin-
ually to the nerve ends of the
man in the street everywhere that
things couldn't go on like this
in booms and depressions, nihilis-
tic revolutions, crushing taxes,
and mounting anarchy.
The Atlantic charter is only
another symptom of democratic
inadequacy. 1t matters only for
that reason. 1t will not be the
charter of peace, for peace terms
will not be made by two men,
however weu-intentioned and
noble, meeting on a boat some
where and issuing what has all
the earmarks of an improvised
statement. The mental and
physical anguish of the last years
will not be cured by eight pills.
But when V stands for Vision
as well as for Victory, We will be
on our way to peace. This war
against Hitler cannot be won for
the things that produced Hitler.
Its solution begins with an act of
repentance.
There is 9 tendency in the
world, among the peoples, that
must be recognized, with which
one can move to victory for the
peoples-all of them, including
the German. 1t needs discussion.
