Foreign Policy

In telling Of current opinions Of United States
recent trip abroad, Raymond Clapper uses
two phrases which focus attention on condi-
tions, largely antagonistic, that most persons
have recognized but could not express so
clearly. The closing paragraph of Mr.. Clap
pers article in yesterdays Star and News
stronger footing than it can have if it rests
only upon presidential rhetoric. This time it
must have Congressional sanction"
presidential rhetoric Congressional
sanction" How powerful has been the first,
how deficient the second, in the past.
There is no reason to assume that the for
mer will be weaker in the future. But there
are signs that the latter will assert itself
effectively when Congress reassembles n
month. And that is prospect deserving the
heartfelt gratitude of the American people.
For while it is always pleasant to hear the
Presidents fireside chats we know that some
where back of his words turks new execu-
tive directive on which the Congress will not
have been consulted and in the issuance Of
which Congress will have no voice.
Now, we may hopefully believe, the rep
resentatives and senators, having moved
among their constituents, and learned their
views, will return to Capitol Hill with firm
determination to exercise their constitutional
rights and actually frame the laws of the ma
tion instead of surrendering additional au-
thority and submitting to further dictation.
Mr.. Clapper makes it clear that observers
abroad would be more sure of the future as
effected by the United States if they could
know what our foreign policy will be. They
cannot know this at present because no one
can foresee the trend or substance of the
next executive edict. But it seems reasonable
to thing that, with Congress again in session
and fortified with the American peoples en-
eouragement for firmer stand, at least some
Of the bewilderment that exists both at home
and abroad will be uispelled.
fhe country and, for that matter, the Allied
world will get on better with the job ahead
If Congress adheres strictly to its Constitu-
ional course, without sheer cornbativeness
hut strong to resist more curtailment of its
powers.

AS Others Say 1t
THE CLOCK TICKS IN NORWAY

The NaziS in Norway are giving
an exhibition of the mean, cruel,
stupid things they will do in es-
pecially great abundance W n n
they are scared. In Norway they
really are scared, for they ar
afraid of an Allied invasion and
they can no longer run in troops
through Sweden. Yesterday they
put the country under a state OF
siege. Day before yesterday they
announced the execution Of Police
Chief Gunnar Ailifsen of Oslo be-
cause he would not detail men to
arrest Norwegian women for slave
service in war factories. There
were some things he wouldn't do,
though he must have co]laborated
with the Germans up to that point
or he wouldn't have remained in
office. There are some things, ap-
parently, that an increasing num-
ber of Norwegians won't do, not
even when that still living epithet
of shame, Premier Vidkun Quis-
ling, so orders.
Three years ago, in their honey
moon of victory, the Nazis paroled
about 1,500 Norwegian army Off
GERS. Now they are trying to round
them up for Imprisonment in Ger
many. To give themselves an IL
lusion of security--and it can't be
more than an illusioa-they are
compelling the remaining Norwe-
gian police under threat of death
to take an oath of allegiance to
Germany and then placing them
under military rule. Jonas Lie,
Norwegian commander of police,
is said to be more powerful than
Quisling. 1t hardly matters.
If there were a Nordic race,
which there certainly is not, the
Norwegians would be it. There is
in Norway at least enough of the
qualities the Germans call Nordic
to make the true Norwegian re-
gard the Nazi German not with
fear, perhaps not chiefly w h
hatred, but with a kind of bitter
contempt. Now, with every tick
of the clock, the rule of his arro-
CANT Schweinhund-and, after all,
old-fashioned German has some
good, honest words in it's near
ing its finish. The Norwegian lead
ers may be killed or exiled. 9th
ers will take their places. This
is, perhaps, a nation of leaders.

ford somewhere is watching the

WASHINGTON.-In such discus
sions as those at Quebec and in
the many others that must follow,
President Roosevelt's influence
would be stronger if clear Amer
lean public sentiment indicated
the main broad lines this nation
desired to follow.
When Congress returns after its
current vacation among the peo'
pie. it will be in a position to indi-
cate through discussion and reso'
lu,ions where the American people
STAND.
A most welcome and construc-
tive reform is being worked olt
now under the leadership Of Sem
stor Vandenberg so that m y
questions relating to foreign policy
may be decided by a majority
vote OF both houses. In these
times it is inviting disaster to
make our decisions dependent up
on veto power exercised by one
third of the Senate. That requir-
ment has forced the executive to
resort to devious methods Of avoid
ing reference to Congress at all.
Foreign policy not based on ma
tional self-interest is on w e a k
ground. 1t loses strength also if
based alone on presidential edict,
arrived at in dead secret and re-
ported by newspaper men work
ing under military restrictions as
at the battlefront.
A wise presidential policy will
have more force at home a n d
abroad if buttressed by clear evil
dence of active public support. We
do not realize that in foreign .coun-
tries people remember what hap
pened to Wilson and wonder if it
will happen again.
Under such conditions America
cannot exert the influence that it
should exert. 1t is not alone things
that we might want to do. We
also. want to prevent others from
making decisions that might be
against our interests. For self-pro-
lection, we need to have our full
strength behind our foreign policy.
One of the first questions to be
answered is whether we want to
use force to make the victory
stick. In other words, do we want
to compel Germany to disarm and
stay disarmed? Do we want to
forbid her from making tanks and
airplanes, for instance? Do we
The Wilmington morning star., 1943-08-21
Raymond Clapper Says:
American People Should
Outline Desired Policy

want to use force in keeping Italy
on the safe track? That is fairly
immediate question. How much
force we shall use after the ar
mistice is the central question to
be decided before we can move
on with peace and reconstruction.
Our side has been confident that
might makes right. We have be-
lieved that he is thrice armed
whose cause is just. We had high
ethics. Yet while we disarmed,
Japan fortified the Pacific islands.
Britain went bllssfully to sleep
while Hitler built airplanes. Just
year ago the Axis amost broke
through at Suez which might have
made victory impossible for us.
Our vast resources are being turn
ed into military force that will
win. but our indifference to force
almost proved our downfall.
The surest way to make the
victory mean nothing would be to
fight and have our men killed in
order to disarm the enemy and
force him to surrender-and then
permit him to begin rearming. But
you will never prevent Germany
or Japan from rearming by sit
ting at the Wishing Well with little
Snow White. We will have to use
force to prevent it. That means
inspectors. That means bombing
fleets ready to move in if there
is any violation of disarmament
restrictions. Are we ready to face
that? We ought to say.
In such an argument l would
strongly favor the side of force.
We can disarm nation and still
allow economic and political free
dom within the restrictions. Amer
lean civilians are not permitted
to carry concealed weapons. ut
we are still free citizens, with tne
ballot, free speech, and opportu-
nifty to work our way economically.
Could it not be the same with a
nation? Germany could be dis
armed and still have her elec-
tions, free speech and the right
to trade everywhere.
That is tn kind Of broad ques-
ton that Congress, as spokesman
for the American people, could
decide now.

Quebec And Moscow

The only conclusion we civilians can safely
circle at Quebec knows with any surety of
being right where or when the next Allied
blow will be struck against Axis Europe or
what the form of it will be.
Observers who try to interpret the Roose-
elt-Churchill conferences are unable to find
common ground, some foreseeing the air blitz
will be continued until favored invasion points
are satisfactorily softened and German indus
try and communications suffer greater de-
struction, others firm in their belief that the
day of invasion is about to dawn.
Even Brendan Bracken, British minister of
struction, others firm in their belief that the
general subject of Allied objectives is cagy
when effort is made to pin him down to any
definite statement regarding the strategy be-
ing drafted in the old French city on the
Plains Of Abraham. If he knew, he would
not tell for obvious reasons. But the prob
ability is that he actually knows little more
than we do.
His one significan statement, in the inter-
view he granted newspapermen. is that Brit
ain views the wars in Europe and in the
Orient as one war, as of course they are.
The United Nations are in combat with the
whole Axis, not any separate part of it, with
one notable exception And this exception ac-
counts, we may believe, for Russia having
mo representative at the Quebec parley.
Russia is not at war with Japan. whereas
the United States and Great Britain are.
And as their strategy in the Far East un-
doubtedly is being decided the presence of
Russian would be embarrassing, to say
the least. Furthermore, political decisions
participate at this time.
The three leading enemies of Germany are
in accord on the wars goal-unconditionaI
surrender. But it is not apparent that they
are agreed on Germany's future. President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill must
feel their way carefully on this subject now
lest they blunder gravely when the final de-
cision must be reached
Extraordinarily is a serious matter. Anv
failure to have a definite and strong program
too easily lead to postwar disaster.
1t is no reflection upon Russia's magnifi-
cent performance on the battlefront to cite
the TACT that Russia is on the receiving end
for tremendous lend-lease aid. and that while
her stand against Germany has given Britain
ana America time to build their forces for
the final overthrow of the Hitlerites, which
offsets the aid she has received, it is still
important that her chief allies help to shape
her postwar program, and that Russia par
tlclpate in their peace objectives.
AS this, as we'll as war strategy, unques.
tlonably will be under discussion at Quebec,
1t IS not difficult to understand why Russian
is not in attendance at the conference May
the day soon come when Josef Stain may
form third at these recurring Allied con-
ferences.
