Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-11-22


So we'll accepted was this impression that the
United States Senate wrote portion OF the pact
into the resolution recently adopted prescrpt OF
American postwar policy.
Since then there have been number of dis
quoting or rather DISILLUSIONING, develop
ments-and the speech made by Secretary Hull
before the two houses of Congress did nothing to
dispe the effects of these developments
In spite of anything that Mr.. Hull has said, it
looks now as if the Moscow pact has merely doomed
the peoples of eastern Europe to Communist slavery
when they have been CELEBRATED" from Nazi
thralldom
1t looks as if the Atlantic Charter was nullifed
at Moscow and must either be ABANDONED by
the democraces or else be RE-AFFIRMED and
DEFENDED by them.
1t looks as if the Moscow conference may have
fortified the seeds of World War III instead of sow
ing seeds of international justice and concord
Consequently it looks as if the august Senate of
the United States may have acted without WISDOM
IN its zeal for nternationalis by hastily approving
the Moscow compact before it's implications and It's
defaults were discosed-even before it's American
Co-author had returned to his homeland to be ques
toned to it's terms.
+ ISILLUSIONMENT began Nov. with sudden
IL discussion of Poland for which this country OBJ
tanned freedom and unity at the end of World War
after centuries of subsection and dSmemberment.
Constantine Oumansky, the Soviet ambassador
to Mexico, announced in speech at Mexico City
that Russia intends to retrieve and to retain the
territory that Stain obtained by agreement
with Hitler Sept g. 1889 in the notorious fourth
partition of Poland.
Ounansky spoke, of course, under instructions
from the Kremlin.
The published declaration of the Moscow
ference contained mention of the boundaries
freedom of Poland-nor of the postwar status of
Finland, of Latvia of Estonia of Lithuana of
Czecho- Slovakia-but the American people had
sumed that ALL OF THEM would be treated hon
orably in any understanding sanctioned by
department.
Immediate inquiries at Washington to
whether or not the fates of these nations was dis
cussed at Moscow WENT UNANSWERED.
OISILLUSIONMENT increased enormously
II when eleven American archbshops and bishops
of the Roman Catholic Church, in session at Wash
ington, issued Nov Is analysis of the declara-
tons of the Moscow conference.
"Many serious men," said these prelates,
have misgvings that there may be tragic COM
promises and HATEFUL REPUTATION OF
SOUND PRINCIPLES -.
"Some things these documents imply BY
STATEMENT and significantly still BY
on PEACE WITH JUSTICE TO ALL"
And establishment was MADE COMPLETE
by SECRETARY HULL HIMSELF in two press
conferences preparatory to his appearance before
Congress.
On Nov IS the Secretary of State met with 80
representatives of the press to explain the Moscow
pact
He told the correspondents that there had been
no secret agreements at Moscow; he assured them
that Of the principles of the Atlantic Charter
had been compromised; and he informed them that
liberated nations in Europe would choose their
own forms of government in the manner that had
been specifically indicated for Italy.
