said. "but Colonel FurIong was
assured that deliveries, to De-

will begin very shortly.
"Such things as fire engines,
bumpers, etc, naturally take
longer to make than medical
supplies, stirrup pumps, air raid

first OF these in three or four

I'D Rother Be Right
'DorIonism, Our Temporary Bargaining
With Foscists, Emerees as New Word

something to sell; make no mistake
about it.
The thing that tells us this war
is worldwide civil war is precisely
this problem Of darlanism, which
has rarely arisen In any previous
war. For the offers we get these
days are not old-fashioned offers of
military surrender; they are offers
to join.
1t is the same problem We had
before the war began, revolving
around the same question: How
much are you willing to give up, to
avoid pitched battle?
Saves Us Headaches.
The problem is q hard one, be-
cause, as say, these specimens
have something to sell. On many
levels. On the military level, they
can sell us the lives Of our own
troops. On the political level, they
can keep order; it Is an old habit
Of diplomacy to prefer order to de-
cency.
On the level Of war aims, darlan-
ism seems to save us headaches; you
can let things run as they are,
rather than have to make up your
mind about what to do in liberated
country.
Darlanism fits neatly into the
characteristic democratic politics Of
drift, Of hunch-playing, of impro-
vising, Of seeking for and gladly ac-
cepting windfalls.
II we become just a little stronger,
We shall. more and more often, be
offered this same bait OF an easy
war and an easy peace. Darlanism
will some day be glad to give us
Europe, on condition only that 1t be
allowed to keep 1t. Always, it will
seem to have something to sell, even
II its bargains are Of the nature Of
those other bargains the democratic
world bought for a decade before
this war. It will forever promise to
save our lives, as at Munich.
That is why 1t Is 50 profoundly
important that the President has
called the current outbreak Of dar-
lanism Temporary" On the day
he ends 1t, he will have proclaimed
that we can bargain, where neces-
sary, and yet keep our own direc-
tion; that We can use every tenn
porary value that comes along, and
then go on to our own permanent
values. He will have given the world
measure of our size. One can
hardly wait for the day.

American lease-lend representa-
tive in London, is prominently
mentioned for the job should
Admiral Standley resign.
The former chief Of naval
operations had done splendid
work in Russia. Like all trained
Navy men, he Is an outspoken
realist. Russian Army men liked
him; so did the Kremlin. He cut
corners whenever necessary and
was a real admirer Of the Russian
forces which have been holding
the Nazis back against over
whelming odds.
But Admiral Standley was Just
an American Ambassador who
conceived his first duty to be to-
ward the United States. When
the Russians were pressing for an
immediate second front in Europe
he spoke frankly and pointed out
the impracticability Of an at
tempt to invade the strongly
defended French or Norwegian
coasts.
When the Russians complained
bitterly that Washington was not
keeping its pledge about lease
lend materials, the Ambassador
explained in sailorlike fashion
why so many ships in the long
conveys sent to Murmansk and
Archangel were sunk and stressed
the difnculties involved.
Admiral Was Annoyed.
All Of Admiral standley's ar
guments were fully understood by
the Russian professional soldiers.
At no time, however, was he will
ing to become the spokesman Of
Soviet propaganda agencies. He
refused to make rash promises
and commitments which would
have temporarily appeased the
Soviet government, which was
impatient at our delay in. attack
ing the Germans.
Admiral standley became irked
when President Roosevelt's per-
sonal representative, Wendell
Willkie, arrived in Russia and
made all arrangements to see
Premier Stain over the Ambas-
sador's head. According to diplo-
matte custom. prominent Amer
leans, particularly when intrusted
with an official mission, should be
introduced to the head Of the
government by the American
Ambassador. Such was not the
case, however, when Mr.. Willkie
was received by Premier Stain.

BY SAMUEL GRAFTON.

The point is that every time
! Fascist or pro-Fascist bigwig comes
over to our side, the temptation to
accept him and work with him Is
almost irresistible.
We ought to invent and use the
word "darlanism' to describe this
process. We need a word because it
is going to happen often, and be-
cause 1t will be silly to regard each
case as separate, isolated incident.
To be honest, We must recognize
that when a Fascist bigwig comes
over to our side, he brings assets Of
value with him.
The prestige Of seducing a Won
Brauchitsch, q Won Book, would be
almost too great for any govern
ment, anywhere, to resist. So, even
when the price is temporary un-
derstanding with the former enemy,
there is terrific pressure to pay that
price. There Is the chance to show
that the enemy's ranks are broken.
There is the chance to parade an
inexpensive victory before the folks
back home.
There is the chance to save the
lives of our own men, which was the
basis for the astonishing outbreak
of darlanism In North Africa.
We. who do not have the Com
mander in Chiefs responsibility with
regard to those lives, dare not be
frivolous in telling him he should
have done 1t the other way.
Have Something to Sell.
So the first step In making up our
minds about darlanism is to recog-
nize that these Fascist animals have
something to sell.
If they did not have anything to
sell, they would be dead ducks to
begin with, and there would be no
problem.
There Is that dope" story from
London that the two German gen.
erals named above, and several
others, including Franz Halder, chief
Of the German general stan, have
formed a junta which is sort Of
backing away from Hitler, and pre-
pairing to try to make a deal with
the Allies, should Hitler's intuitions
about the democracies turn out to
have been wrong.
It is a solid sort Of dope" story,

own credentials with 1t.

This Changing World
Horrimon Mentioned to Succeed St1ndIey
II Admiral Resigns as Envoy to Russia

Ambassador more than anything
else, Admiral STANDBY was not
asked to attend the conferences
between the head Of the Soviet
government and President Roose-
velt's representative. The long
conversations which ended In Mr..
WILKES speech about prodding
the admirals and the generals
were attended by Mr.. Willkie and
his two companions from the
owl, Gardner Cowles and Joseph
Barnes, and by the former Soviet
Ambassador to Washington, Con-
stantin Oumansky, who acted as
master Of ceremonies and omcial
interpreter for Premier Stain.
Popular With Kremlin.
What actually happened at
these meetings vas never fully
reported to the American Ambas-
sador, who obtained only what
ever information Mr.. Willkie
wanted Admiral Standley to have.
Admiral Standley felt sighted,
not personally, but in his posi-
ton as the official envoy of the
United States to the Soviet Re-
public. He felt that the action
OF the Presidents emissary In
going over his head hurt the
prestige Admiral Standley en-
joyed with the Russian authori-
ties.
Mr.. Harriman's name has been
frequently mentioned in the last
few weeks in connection with
Russia. Mr.. Hartman Is we'll
to-do and strongly In sympathy
with the Russian political ideol-
ogy, and he belongs to the ad-
vanced liberal group in Washing
ton.
The lease-lend representative
to Great Britain is extremely
popular with the Kremlin. When
he went on q mission to Moscow
in 1941 during the darkest days
Of the Soviet fight against the
Nazis he was impressed by what
he had seen and sent back q full
report in which he differed with
the specialists about the ability
Of the Russian armies to stand
the Nazi onslaught. He was ono
OF the few who predicted the
Russians would hold.
Later. this year, when he
accompanied Prime Minister
Churchill to Moscow he did not
have any definite instructions
from the White House. The sit
uation was tense and difIicult and
he took it on himself to use his
Judgment and make commit
ments without consulting the
President or the State Depart
ment. The extent Of his commit
ments Is still q diplomatic secret,
but he has not been disavowed
by Washington and every effort
was made from this side to keep
faith with the promises he made
to Stain.
So brilliant were Mr.. Harri-
mans actions, 1t Is said, that re-
Gently he was given . dinner in
London at which q toast was
drunk in his honor and the toast
master described him as the most
outstanding diplomat of our age.
1t would be only logical, his close
friends and admirers say, that he
should be given the Moscow am
bassadorship, If he wishes.
