Lend-Lease For Russia

When Il is announced that lend-lease de-
Iveries 70 Russia totaled 81, 267, o47, 900 in
twenty-four months and the claim is made
that General Macarthur is under heavy handi-
cap in the southwest Pacific because he is not
receiving what be needs to speed the victory
over Japan, albeit the claim is contra
dicted, the natural reaction IS to condemn
the Lend-Leage Administrator and decide we
should be doing more Tor wnat Vie Americans,
with considerable justice, look upon as our
own war.
But this view, which is hard to dssipate
may not be fully justified. Tie goods that
we have been sending to Russia have made it
possible for the Red armies 10 put the Ger
mans generally to flight and assure victory
on the Eastern front-an assurance that is
no whit lessened by the retak;ng Of Zhitornir
or other minor successes registered by the
Nazis.
The question that Americans answer yari-
ously is whether the United States should be
accepting such heavy responsibility for win
ming the war in Europe instead ct concentrst-
ing its prime effort upon victory in the Orient.

NEW YORK.-More n sorrow than in anger,
l might point out one of the most potent rea-
sons why Americans have less confidence in,
and respect for, some of the agencies and
personalities of government than even our AL
lies, the Russians, apparently have in and
for theirs.
It is because it is sometimes assumed that
we admire clever or Sinking dishonesty, an
assumption, therefore, that the people, as a
nation, also dishonest at heart.
For example Mayor La Gua~dia misuses a
publicly owned radio station which is neither
his personal property nor that of his political
group, to tell a number of lies aDout the local
Republicans Being quickly challenged, he
then denies his remarks were political but
passes the buck of mis- political ally, Mr Ely,
of the communications commission: to decide.
And Mr.. Fly instead of giving the obvious,
honest decision that the statements were po-
itical, makes an evas1ve answer
Now there you have the mayor ct our largest
city squ-rming like any shyster and attempting
to be funny about straight question OF fact
and enc of the most powerful federal officials,
a man with duty to the whole people, back
ing him up.
It would have been easy, and OF wholesome
effect, if La Guardia had had the honesty to
say yes. that he had violated the rule and
invite Thomas j. Curran, the secretary OF
state and chairman of the New York County
Republican committee, TO answer his charges.
But he didn't, and wnen he resorted to trlckery
and Fly supported hun, the public knew they
were not truthful and this sor' OF conduct,
I contend, gives the people to belleve that
politics precludes honesty even IN men VINO
pretend to speak for the PLAIN people
The mayor was discussing the regent cleo
ton of Thomas Aureiio to the Supreme Court
Notwithstanding his association with notorl-
Gus gangster, and contending the Republicans
should have supported his own suostltute can

cleaner than Aurelio and La Guafola khe" II;

rious at the time tran Aurelio's
gangster was.
However, the people learned
about Levy's associations Through
the newspapers and they turned
him down.
In an earlier case, President
Roosevelt made flat guarantee
that a certain group of miners
would not be compelled to ioin

threatened strike and the Presi-
dent referred the question to per-
sonal appointee for another look.
And on the Monday morning after
Pearl Harhor, the Presidents man
gave decision in his name, break
ing his solemn promise.
And proceeding from that decis-
ion, other agencies of the govern
ment have passed steadily against
the people, forcing hundreds of
thousands of them to join other un-
ions with tie alternative of going
hungry and wasting millions of
days of war labor or being drafted
for the war. But never has this
fact been admitted. They will not
even discuss it.
These are not isolated examples
of this dishonesty which arouses
distrust of government. They are
typical Of the liberal in politics

cunning brings ostracism. At West
Point 1t is unthinkable. And in
Russia it is unnecessary because

have to explain or justify its con-
duct. 1t Just gives orders.

State Press On Mr.. Hull

It is interesting to note how editors arrive at
similar conclusions by different routes Thus.
in commenting on Secretary Hull's appearance
before joint session of Congress to explain
the Declaration of Moscow. the Durham Her.
aid notes he emphasized that while the de-
cisons constitute only d beginning, they pre-
pare the way by implication for lasting peace.
And the Raleigh News and Observer remarks
that Mr.. Hull made it clear that the effect (of
the decaration) will not be temporary.
But let both newspaper. III in their own
words. Says the Herald:
If he emphasized one thing above an
other, Mr.. Hull gave first place to the
easily glossed-over fundamental that the
agreements reached. declarations made
and machinery projected all represent the
beginnings only He was careful for in
stance to say that the implementation of
the agreements, not the agreements them
selves, would render obsolete the idea of
spheres of influence, alliances and other
balance-of-poWer devices.
The News and Observer says it this way:
The achievements Of the Moscow Con-
ference have been almost universally ap-
proved and in his report to the Congress
yesterday Secretary of State Hull made
it clear that the effect will not be tenn
porary, but that the foundation was laid
for enduring peace by setting up machn-
cry for a world federation in which every
nation, large or small, will be invited to
participate on equal terms.
The Charlotte Observer finds Mr. Hulls un.
precedented appearance primarily an occasion
for a ''resounding ovation in recognition of
his historic achievements at the Moscow con-
ference, adding:
That must have been the main motif
behind the invitation to shower upon
the aging and beloved statesman evil
dences of the appreciation of Congress,
foreign diplomats. members of the Cab
met, Supreme Court and other high
ranking government officials, for his SUI
perb services at the Kremlin
The Observer furthers comments:
What he has achieved at Moscow. if jul
diciously and faithfully followed up by the
participating governments will become
the bedrock upon which the social, political
and economic structures for ar orderly
and peaceful international society for the
future will be fashioned.
In Ashevile, the Citizen finds that:
In some respects Mr. Hull was like an
honor guest at a testimonial banquet who
explains the secret of his success for that
was the setting. In others he was grim
ly serious man, not unconscious of the I'M
exampled tribute paid him. but resolved,
as he said, to impress the nation with the

BY SIGRID ARNE

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-(P)-The
House chamber of the Capitol was
packed to the doors on Jan. 8, 1918
almost 26 years ago. President
Wilson had called a Joint session
OF the House and Senate.
1t was dreary, anxious winter.
The flood of American troops had
not yet arrived in France, and the
Allied armies were being ham,
mered back by the Hun"
So the hush in the House was
tense when the tall, scholarly-look-
ing Woodrow Wilson rose and fac.
ed the packed flood and galleries.
He adjusted his glasses, and began
to read from a paper he laid on the
speakers stand.
He was reading his now famous
fourteen points, in which he had
.rled, simply, to state the Allied
war aims,-or, at least, the Ameri-
can aims.
1t was the beginning of the long
est and bitterest fight in the his
tory of the United States Senate,
the League of Nations fight,-a
battle which finally killed Wilson.
His fourteen points held dyna-
mite. Dynamite first, for the in
trlgue-infested chancelleries of Eu-
rope. He wanted no more secret
treaties. He proposed "open coven-
ants openly arrived at" and he
was to have plenty of trouble later,
at the Paris peace conference. in
slsting that the press, and hence
the public, be informed of the de-
bates.
He didn't use the famous phrase
self determination" in his ad-
dress: But he laid down the prin-
olple in asking for the evacuation
sHd restoration of invaded coun-
tries, and in suggesting an indie
pendent Poland
But the real dynamite lay in the
18th point, which said, "a general
association of nations must be
formed under specific covenants
for the purpose of affording mutual
guarantees of political indepen-
dence and territorial integrity to
great and small states alike.''
In other words, league to bat
down any nation which proposed to
go to war.
The paragraph finally appeared

The League Of Nations Fight

(Twenty-six years ago the
end of Americas first war in
Europe was approaching. The
problems facing Allied states
men were similar to those of
today, although less complicat-
ed. A League of Nations was
the greatest idea produced
then, and as All idea its has
never died. To find road to-
ward lasting eace. Following is
a review of what happened
then.)

as the bitterly contested article
ten, which said:
"The members of the league IN
dertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the
territorial integrity and existing
political independence of all mem
oers of the league. In case of any
such aggression, or in case of any
threat of danger of such agrees
sion, the council shall advise upon
the means by which this obligation
shall be fulfilled
Now the world is off again on
the same debate, and it promises
to be the same full scale hippo
drome that the last battle was.
The notion of a League of Ma
tons is an old one. Henry the "
of France suggested it in 1884. Will
liam Penn wanted European
Dyet'' in 1893. Emmanuel Kant, the
philosopher, went deeper. He want
ed a federation of people, thereby
going over the heads of rulers. He
wanted a federation of free
States" essentially the same idea
Clarence STREET. advocates today in
his Union Now
In 1907 there was league talk
again, after the Russo-Japanese
war, winding up with Theodore
Roosevelt who said lit would be a
master stroke if those great pow
ers, honestly bent on peace, would
form a league of peace"
Curiously, when the league bat
tie came up in the Senate, IT. r.
was with the group which opposed
the league covenant, advising them
on tactics. All through 1918 IT. R."
aad fought Wilson in public state
1aent, calling for an uprising
against all Wilson's statements of
war aims.
The year 1918 was congress
sional election year, and the re-
publicans were out to get major
.ty in Congress with the hope of
short-circuiting Wilson at the peace
conference.
At the very same time that the
republicans, led by ST. R." were
attacking Wilson and his fourteen
points, Germany and Austria ap-
realed to Wilson for peace based
On them.
On Oct. "a, 1918, Wilson replied
to Germany, and the same day 'T.
z. came out with a long public
telegram to republican senators
saying that he earnestly hoped"
The Senate would repudiate a nego-
tlated peace with Germany and
declare against the Presidents war
aims.
The verbal battle had become so
heated that the following day Will
son did startling thing. He is
sued an appeal to the voters. which
said in part:
My fellow countrymen: If YOU
have approved of my leadership
and wish me to continue unembar-

Wilson arrived in Paris, the out
