Frances Two Faces

AS time goes on Generalissimo
Francois regime does not seem to
be strengthening itself any. The
course of events, including the
downfall of Mussolini and the slow
but sure grinding down Of Hitler,
has induced 1t to try putting on a
better face in front of the United
Nations, but it still does it's best
to please the Axis, too.
Thus, week or so ago, the
Spanish Foreign Minister cabled
congratulations to Jose P. Laurel,
the japanese puppet in the Philip
pines, expressing "the most sincere
sentiments" and perfect compre-
hension and mutual understanding"
AS a gesture, this was a salute to
Toxic and slap in the face to US,
netting the Franco dictatorship
nothing but another black mark in
the book of record being kept
against it. What the objective of
such policy may be, what Franco
and his aides hope to accomplish
by first blowing hot and then blow
ing cold, is hard to see. Perhaps it
is purposeless. Perhaps it merely
reflects the regimes deepening un-
certainty and its inability to orient
itself to the new world coming.

What Will Turkey Do?

The conversations now proceeding
In Cairo between British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden and human
Menemencioglu, the Turkish For
elgn Minister, presumably FORE
shadow important diplomatic de-
velopments. Nowhere have the
combined repercussions of Russian
victories and the Moscow conference
been more felt than in Turkey, and
there can be scant doubt that it's
attitude toward the war will undergo
a marked change
Hitherto, Turkish foreign policy
has been one of technically even
handed neutrality, though actually
it has tended to favor Britain, with
whom Turkey has a treaty obligat-
ing her to render aid in certain
eventualitieS. That clause has never
been invoked by Britain, because to
have done so would have exposed
Turkey to defeat at Axis hands when
Britain was unable to give much
support. BY acquiescing in Turkish
neutrality despite the treaty, Brit
ain enabled Turkey to stand up to
Axis pressure and thus keep a pre-
ciouS buffer between the Axis and
British holdings in the Near and
Middle East. That was of ines
timable benefit so long as a COM
bined Axis pincer drive from North
Africa and the Balkans on Egypt
and Syria was an imminent threat.
This potential menace began to
fade year ago with the British
victory at Ell Alamein and the Rus
sian triumph at Stalingrad. The
situation in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean was obviously changing rap
idly in favor of the United Nations.
1t was at that moment that Prime
Minister Churchill went directly
from his Casablanca conference
with President Roosevelt to talk
with the Turkish Foreign Minister
at Adana, on the Turco-Syrian
border. What they discussed has
never been disclosed, but subsequent
events make it clear that continu-
ance of Turkish neutrality was
agreed to. Now fresh transforma-
ton of the situation implies cor
responding diplomatic notifications,
and the current Cairo meeting OF
the British and Turkish Foreign
Ministers is designed to this end.
To jump to the conclusion that
Turkey Is about to abandon neutral
ity for formal entry into the war
Evening star., 1943-11-07

against the Axis would be too
simple a reading of a complex
picture. Although Turkey has a
large. well-trained army with good
morale, it has not the mechanical
equipment and air force needed for
offensive warfare. Germany's hold
on the Balkans is still strong, as is
evidenced by its vigorous resistance
to British attempts to penetrate
the Aegean Sea. Furthermore, the
Bulgarian Army, German-equipped
and intact, could presumably be
counted on to fight the Turks. who
are the hereditary enemies of the
Bulgars. Unless Turkey were pow
erfully aided by Britain. a Balkan
offensive might break down, in
which case it would become a mill
tary and diplomatic liability rather
than an asset. So it is more than
likely that Mr.. Eden will not urge
or even encourage Turkish belliger-
ency at this stage.
What Is much more probable is
that Turkey will be asked to become
more benevolent" in its neutrality
by granting air bases to the Allies
and agreeing to open the Straits to
United Nations warships when the
Aegean Sea has been cleared of the
Germans and the waterway has thus
been opened from the Mediter-
ranean to the Black Sea, already
under virtual Russian naval control
A diplomatic precedent for such
action is Portugual's recent grant of
Azores bases to British naval and
air forces. According to the estab-
liShed canons Of international law,
this was clear breach Of neutrality
which would have justified Germany
in considering Portugal belligerent
and taking warlike action However,
Germany did not do so because it
would have been obviously against
its self-interest; SO diplomatic rela-
tions continue. Similarly, Germany
might hesitate to drive Turkey
openly into the ranks of it's enemies
and expose the Balkans to added
risk of invasion even though Turk
ish neutrality had been legally COM
promised.

Victory at Kiev

The rejoicing Russians will find it
a fitting and glorious thing that on
this twenty-sixth anniversary of the
October revolution Kiev is theirs
again. Capital of the Ukraine,
mother" of their cities, their third
most important industrial center,
this Scared and blackened place
means perhaps even more to them
than does Moscow itself.
Sentimentally, historically, SYM
bolically, the victory at Kiev must
therefore strike the Russian people
as probably the greatest in the war,
exceeding in significance all the
victories that have led up to it and
made 1t possible. But beyond its
Importance in this psychological
sense, it represents strategical gain
Of incalculable value, making Hitler's
position in the south so desperate
that it now seems almost a certainty
that he will have to retreat into
Poland and into BesSarabia behind
the River Bug.
Hitler captured Kiev in September,
1941, and up until yesterday he held
onto 1t for dear life. 1t was his
greatest single bastion on the east
ern front. 1t was his most important
strong point on the Dneiper line.
And now that he has lost it, he
must surely fall back as fast as he
can over the vast area running
southwark from the Pripet Marshes
to the Black Sea. And If he manages
to do that without having major ele-
ments Of his forces cut to pieces, the
next development to be expected will
be similar withdrawal in the north
"a general retreat from the Lenin-
grad sector down perhaps to Riga,
thus forming new line from that
anchor point behind the Dvina River
far to the south to Odessa behind
the Bug.
With Kiev in their hands. the
Russians are today not much more
than 100 miles from old Poland, and
once they smash the Nazis around
Kherson, the road to the Bug and
Bessarabia will be wide open to them.
AS the situation looks now, in other
words, 1t seems wholly possible that
within the relatively near future
Hitler will have lost everything he
once held In the east, every inch of
ground, every city, every river, every
hilltop. What he started in June,
194l, thus promises to come to an
end as the most futile military un-
dertaking in history, one in which
German treasure and German lives
were expended with reckless prodi-
gality, only to achieve the ruin of
Germany.
We do not have to speculate over
how the Russians must react to the
news from Kiev. We know that their
hearts must be singing and their
spirits soaring, and all the United
Nations are jubilant with them. But
for the German people and for all
OF Hitler's satellites, the news is
something else again. 1t is unre-
Eevedly black 1t reads like the last
part OF the last chapter of night
marish adventure shaping up to

order now being smashed beyond
salvation, so that Franco himself
may feel that his own power is
nearing an end. In this sense, the
salute to Toxic is not unlike an act
OF hopeless defiance. But whether
it is this or not, it most certainly
does not win any American friends
for the Spanish dictatorship and it
must give additional ammunition to
the growing anti-Franco elements
within Spain itself.

1t is clear then, when we reflect,
that whether we are at peace with
ourselves has much to do with
whether we believe that peace is
possible for the world.
1t also is clear that since our
actions stem out of our beliefs, our
conviction on the practicability of
peace will send us toward it. Or,
failing the conviction, away from it.

Heav'n and shook his throne" What
he remembers is that he shook his
throne and not that he is eternally

That is why our belief in the
possibility of lasting peace is more
important at this time than at any
other. Your beliefs take you toward
their realization, or away from them.
To fail to go forward now may lose
all that you have longed for on other
Armistice Days.
".
Peace begins in a human soul at
rest with God. 1t grows in the world
by virtue of persistent effort on the
part OF every man and woman. But
the most necessary thing of all Is to
pray for it.
Only through the mercy of the
everlasting God can men overcome
the natural selhshness and hatreds
which culminate in brutal wars. Only
His grace can be sufficient.
"Ye lust, and have not; We kill, and
desire to have, and cannot obtain; We
fight and war, yet We have not, be-
cause We ask not" So st. James
describes us. We continue to be what
We are because we ask not, because
We do not pray.
Pray for your own peace of soul
and pray for the peace of the world.
Il will therefore that men pray every
where, lifting up holy hands, without
wrath or doubling"
Evening star., 1943-11-07

Do you still believe there can be
permanent peace?
Has the past failure of the great
governments to preserve lawful order
caused you to despair of their future
efforts?
Do you think that you can again
trust completely the citizens of the
states with which we are now at war?
Do you believe, when it comes down
to it, that you and your neighbors
will be willing to sacrifice the personal
rights and privileges which peace
makers tell us will be necessary?
On Armistice Day we shall have
occasion to think again about these
questions.
Twenty-Five years ago almost every
one believed that the world stood on
the threshold of lasting justice, do
mestic tranquility, freedom from the
horrors of war.
All through the years that followed
we kept fresh our dreams and our
convictions. For all of us the dreams
have now been shattered into bits.
For some of us even the convictions
about peace are gone.
Some of us. indeed bitterly re-
nounce the ideals for which we stood,
calling them impracticable and
FOOLS vision. Some of us say the only
thing the future holds is the expecta-
ton of evil and the duty OF meeting
1t with grim determination.
Where does peace begin?
1t begins in the human soul. There
Is no peace in the world today" says
contemporary poet, Save the peace
In the heart at home with God"
The troubled heart" Meister Eek
hart Of the 14th century explained to

Order in the outer world cannot be
found until order is found first in the
depths of the human soul. Conflict
will not disappear from the earth
until conflict has been stilled in the
breast OF man. Peace does begin in
the human soul and peace comes only
from God.
A man who is a friend of God
doubts neither the goodness that is in
men nor the goodness of Gods eter-
nal purposes among men. He is con-
vinced that all things are possible,
and he Is not dismayed when the
great dreams of his heart crumble in
moment of historic disaster.
