FREED TERRITORY
CREATES PROBLEM
Continued from Page One)

To he sure. Martinique is small.
remote from the theater OF war ana
intrinsically of no real importance.
But the first principles OF the
oreat problem are there in Mar
finioue simply and clearly re-
--ealed if we care to see thn.
With all due respect, the Presl-
dents remarks at his press con-
terence on the subject OF Mar
tinioue were not revealing. In
fact they were obscurantist. IT ne
was really speaking his mind, ne
was showing much confusion OF
mind. Mr.. Roosevelt's argument
was that we had got "a base on
baus'-that Martinique had come
over to the United Nations with
out the use of violence on our
part. That is excellent, and we
may all rejoice, but to say only
this and not to say more is to
rnisrepresent the real problem OF
Martinique and to miss the prin-
cipal truth which it has demon
strated.
The Governor of Martinique,
Admiral Robert, had taken an
oath of allegiance to Marshal Pc
tain. who in his eyes was and is
the legitimate chief of the French
state. The real question in Mar
Unique was: Who could legiti-
mately govern Martinique, which
belongs to France, if Admiral
Robert were deposed by our
forces, or were overthroWn by the
inhabitants of Martinique, or alb
dicated under pressure of ou r
blockade and a general inability
to carry on?
That is the question the Presi-
dent chose to ignore in his press
conference. Yet it has been the
crucial qustion. Why did we wait
for a base on balls in Martinique
when we did not wait for one in
North Africa? Partly, no doubt,
because we could afford to wait
since Martinique did not matter
very much. But we waited also
because we did not know what to
do with Martinique. If the Navy
occupied it, the Navy would rave
had to govern it. and we should
have been accused in France and
suspected all over South America
of naked imperialism. We could
not govern with an American ad-
miral. We knew that to govern
through some kind of pan-Ameri-
can authority might have looked
well in principle, but in practice
would have been awkward. We
could not permit the Fighting
French to overthrow Admiral
Robert because we were com
mitted, first to the Vichy goven-
ment and then to General Giraud.
So we waited. We had to wait.
And what did we have to wait
for? For the creation of French
authority, not that of Vichy, and
at the same t m indisputably
Rench, to which Admiral Robert,
who is according to his lights a
patriotic Frenchman, could d
would surrender his authority.
The outcome in Martinique is a
clear practical demonstration of
the absolute unWokability of our
official French policy. For it was
not until the French National Com
nittee at Algiers came into being
that it was possible ~ us to take
the base on balls. MIR. Hoppenot,
me appointec of that committee,
is the new Governor of Martinique
We have "accepted' him but Al
giers appointed him. If we had ap-
pointed him, and Algiers had re-
jected him, M. Hoppenot would
today be an American puppet and
not the new French Governor of
The problem would
have been insoluble without the
Algiers committee.

q URvEYING The

BY Joel w. Smith

nossible effort was made Friday
night to get the ''low-down" on
the washington High-Vocatlonai
High game, but everybody seemed
confused. The Blue and White
Bulldogs won the game, 1875, but
there was some misunderstanding
over the game, since the Grimm
High coach called his team OH
the field before the game was
officially over. According to ofhclal
reports. the timer informed the
two teams that they had a minute
and a half to play, and lew
seconds later Washington High
scored. Contrary to the belief OF
many fans, the visiting coach old
not question the time, but rather
the touchdown. In other words,
there was some doubt in his mind,
as to whether the ball had crossed
the double marker. In any event,
however. the officials ruled 1t a
touchdown, and they were In a
position to see the play.
AS regards to time, the timer
was the only man with a stop
watch, and it is unfair for the
fans or anyone else not well versed
on 'tine-outs" to try to figure
out how many plays can be run
off in a minute and half. AT any
event. the writer suggests a return
game between the two teams, play

MOORE WINS ARGUMENT
OVER BASEBALL RULING

During the intermiSSion between
games between the Atlanta Black
Crackers and the New York Gu
bans, played recently at Ponce de
Leon Park, j. H. Moore, well-known
Atlanta baseball and football OIL
cial got into an argument with
Manager Harry Williams, o. the
Cuban stars over a baseball ruling.
The controversy centered around
the failure Of the manager to an
nounce new players entering
game, already in progress, so that
the umpire can announce the
change in the lineup to the crowd.
Manager Williams contended that
the penalty should affect actual
play. while Moore took the oppo-
site view. During the past week,
Moore presented tangible evidence
in the form of the official baseball
rules to SubStantiate his point. The
rules state that: in major baseball
manager may be fined for failure
to report to the umpire a change
In the lineup, but in the event q
man enter the game unannounced
and takes his position on the field,
play continues and the newcomer
is legally substituted. This is not
