Postwar Russia

From purely cynical and materi.
al standpoint, it can be argued that
postwar Russians will not attempt
any move against Britain or Amer
lea, either from within by propagan-
da and intrigue or from without by
military attack because they will be
an exhausted nation when the war is
over. Competent observers believe
it win take several generations for
Russia to recover. Therefore, Rus
sia'S chief advantage will be gained
by cooperation with other nations
rather than by threats of aggression.
To some degree, that also applies
10 Britain. Unquestionably, the
United States will emerge from the
war the greatest military power in
the world. Only combination of
powers could defeat her. There
rests, then, the moral responsibility
on America of wise and generous use
Of her power--noblesse obhge.
This, | admit, is the bright side
of the medal. But until the attempts
toward tripartite discussion and
agreement have utterly failed, there
is no reason why the medal should
not be presented shiny side up.

ton has been anxiously watching =
very trying. very delicate and DIFF

break in a stubborn three-horse
team which has never pulled togeth-
er before.
The difficult journey toward an un-
derstanding to be reached by per.
sonal conversations across the table
between Britain, the United States
and Russia has begun. Following
perhaps secret tripartite conferences
between representatives Of the three

taken up between Roosevelt. Stain

1t Is a tremendous undertaking.
This three-horse team has never run
in harness together before. America
has never been harnessed at all;
Soviet Russia has bad only one short
and violent experimental with
Germany--Which ended in disaster.
and as for Britain, she Is accus-
toned to being lead-horse; there
fore, lot OF patience will be needed
to hitch all three abreast
There is a whole library Of docu-
mentation to prove that an all-for-
one, one-for-all agreement among
these three nations is impossible.
But 1t must be remembered that
there were Is powerful reasons once
why United States of America was
impossible too.
The present goal is not the forma-
ton Of triple alliance. The present
problem is simply to get common
sense agreement between three ma
tions without which postwar situa-
ton is bound to arise which Prime
Minister Churchill described as
Confusion And when he used that
word. he made a new high for Eng
lish understatement, Few doubt that
he meant war.

By BAUKHAGE
Neips analyst and Commentator.

1t worked in regard to the Italian
surrender terms.
Now, what are the main proposi-I
tons which Britt in, America and
Russia do not see eye to eye?
In the first place. there is the guess
ton of spheres Of influenee"-thel
Balkans, the Middle East, the Medi-l
terranean.
! have been told by persons pre-
Stunning to speak with authority. that
Russia suggested the creation Of tho|

meeting on equal terms. That COM,
mission, whoever thought it up. was
agreed upon. Historically. Britain
has always refused Russia any hand
in Mediterranean affairs. That would
seem to be step forward and even
before the commission could start
functloning. Russia was allowed to-
have her say concerning the terms
Of the Italian surrender. Agreement
was reached as to the terms.
That would seem to indicate that
conciliatory atmosphere has been
created in advance. Unless Russia
is absolutely unwilling to make COM
promises. we can expect reciprocal
ton when the questions of the Bal
kans and the Middle East arise,
where there have always been SINH
lar conflict Of interests.
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1943-10-08
The Baltic States


Another very. sensitive question is
the difference of opinion as to the
treatment Of the small nations which
lie on Russia's western frontiers.
notably the Baltic states. II is said
that Russia feels that as soon as
the German armies are driven back
into the Reich, these border states,
especially Lithuania and Estonia, o.
part OF Poland and perhaps part
Of Rumania 1--WE leave the others
aside for the moment, including Fin
land). are an integral part Of Russia.
The United States, on the other
hand. has always stood for the rights
of small nations, for selfdetermina-
ton. OF course. Russia argues that
plebiscites which indicate desire to
join the Soviet Republics have al
ready been taken in part OF the
territory and II they were taken
again, they would show the same
results. That they express the will
Of the Nationals is denied by rep
resentatives Of these countries In
Washington.
Great Britain leans toward an &C.
ceptance Of Russia's views how
ever. The point has yet to be settled
with the United States.
An additional point, which is real
ly the one which has always caused
suspicion on the part of Britain and
America, is the question of commu-
mist propaganda spread by Russia
for the purpose Of overthrowing all
capitalist governments. This is bal
anced by the fear on the part Of
Russia that capitalist governments
are bent on destroying her as a COM
munist state.
This is tough one admittedly but
not beyond the solution by honest
men. Nor do honest men despair
of its settlement.

arguments Against

As ! said. there are plenty of rea-
sons which can be cited why the
United States and Britain and Rus
sia cannot possibly agree but there
are other reasons why they can.
There are two things which stand
out In most peoples minds as evil
dences that Stain is not playing ball
now and doesn't want to. One is the
recurrent complaint in the official
Russian press and earlier statements
by Stain himself to the effect that
Russia is decidedly displeased with
the Allies for not having built a
second front by invading Europe
from the British Isles. The other is
the Moscow sponsorship of Free
Germany committee which appears
to hold out better terms to Germany
than unconditional surrender which
the Allies demand.
Recently, talked with military
man who suggested that perhaps the
call for a second front after the in
vasion of Italy was part Of an agree
ment with the Allies to confuse Ger.
many. Churchill has said that he
was assured by Stain, when the Rus
sian drive began this summer, that
the Russians were confident that
they could Withstand German at
tack. AS things have turned out,
the Germans have not been able to
counterattack. They have ordered
a general retreat. Ii was admitted
by military experts at FIRST that this
Is a planned and orderly retreat.
After the invasion of Italy, the Ger
mans admitted that it was a general
retreat. Now 1t looks like rout.
In other words, the creation Of the
third 'front.' in the Mediterranean
has forced the Germans to give up
the idea Of attempting a counter
offensive. But since the slender
hope OF Hitler lies in dissension
among the United Nations, why
should Russia let him know that she
was satisfied with any Allied action?

Most Beautiful Title
Given Corsica bv Greeks

Corsica, fortified French island, is
a Mediterranean stepping stone on
an imaginary line drawn from
Genoa, Italy, to Bizerte, Tunis, 27O
miles to the south. Oval in shape,
and about one-third as large as Yer
mont, Corsica is only so miles from
Italy, los miles from France. Italy's
island Of Sardinia is just seven miles
to the south, across the Strait OF
Bonifacio. A backbone Of granite
mountains, the highest $500 feet di.
vides the island, the western side
sloping sharply to the sea, the east
ern easing gently into coastal plains
and swamps. Malaria is a scourge
Of this marshy region. The western
shores are indented with bays, sew
eral giving safe anchorage to coast
ing vessels. Much Of the island Is
heavily forested. There are numer-
GUS streams rising in the highlands,
but none is navigable. To the old
Greeks, Corsica was 'rKalliste," the
most beautiful. To many a tourist
the sweet scent Of the maquis shrub
is the most memorable essence OF
life in Corsica.
