izvestio Halls Conference
As Basis of Peace Era

MOSCOW, Oct. 81 (P).-The Soviet
government newspaper Izvestia to-
day hailed the Moscow Conference
between Premier Stain and Prime
Minister Churchill as giving good
reason to believe the Soviet Union,
Great Britain and the United States
would enjoy an era of increasingly
great collaboration in speeding up
the defeat of Germany and of strong
comradeship in the solution of the
peace.
Moscow's morning press and ra-
dlo, rejecting the new warmth in
Soviet-British relations, gave smash
play to Mr.. Churchills departure
and Premier Stalin's personally see
ing him off at the airport. An eight
column front-page photograph ap-
peared in the papers.
THE Moscow conferences show
that the U. S. S. r. and Britain
could find common language for

To Offer Report on

The vexing problems of postwar

by the White House and State De.
partment this week on the basis o.
reports from w. Averill Hartman
Ambassador to Russia, who returned
here by plane yesterday from the

To See Roosevelt Soon.
President Roosevelt was in New
York City and Secretary of State
Hull was in Naval Hospital for a
physical checkup when the AM
bassador arrived Yesterday. How
ever. he talked briefly with Charles
E. Bohlen, chief of the Eastern
European division of the State De-
partment, and is expected to see
Mr.. Roosevelt as soon as he returns
to Washington.
His return caused speculation that
Ambassador John c. Winant in
London also would be brought home
to join in the consultations. Mr..
Winant and Mr.. Hartman were
both here last May and the envoy
to London said at that time that
he might return in the fall. There
were some indications that the con-
ferences might cover virtually the
whole field of European affairs.
Hartman at Talks.
Mr.. Hartman sat in personally
on several of the talks between
Premier Stain and Prime Minister
Churchill and received complete
information as to the others. There
fore he is in a position to give the
President and Mr. Hull full informa-
tion as to the Moscow discussions.
The talks we're regarded here as
having succeeded to a considerable
extent in laying the basis for future
Anglo-Soviet cooperation in Europe
and in the broader field of world
security organization.
The impression here was that the
effect of the settlements will be to
secure Russias political influence
in those areas along her European
frontier which she has argued are
necessary to her security.
On the record at least the United
States has taken no part in negoti-
ations to that end. The privately
expressed concern of officials here
is for settlements which will be so
acceptable TO small nations as well
as large that they will advance the
cause OF organized world peace

EUROPE'S CHILDREN

Our ad writers-the only romanticistS left in America in this third
year of wsr-have been hammenng away at a vision of the future,
in which dishwashing has been eliminated, the air teens with heHcop-
tiers, all girls arr pinup girls, and there is nc pink toothbrush. We would
like to show these romanhcists, and any other unreasoning optimists,
a book of photographs called "Europes Children" by Therese Bonney
These photographs were taken in France, Spain, England, Sweden
and Finland. They were taken in the early months of the war and
illustrate only the beginning of a tale of wrackage and devastation. Even
so, the pictures do not show merely people and places-they show
nightmares.
1t is impossible to remain complacent about the future of Europe,
or the future of humanity, when you know what has already happened
{ o 10 many of our next generation. The starved and deserted children
with famine distorted legs and bodies, distended stomachs, and hope
less and terrified eyes who stare back at the reader from tn pages
of Miss Bonneys remarkable book, will grow up to be citizens in the
brave, new world" we ART supposedly fighting for. We know what
from the minds and hearts of those who have never learned mercy,
humanity, generosity or hope, because none of these attributes of
humanity and civilization have ever been shown them?
This is not the kind of future for which labor has been giving its
strength, its sons, its savings. We are proving on the battlefield the
vanity of Hitlers boast that the Nazs are a superior race. Twenty years
from now, we may yet find that III shortsighted neglect of the children
in NaZi dominated Europe has indeed made of the NaZi the master race
of the continent physically, if not normally.
Many of these children can still be rescued. They can be fed,
clothed and cared for by the International Red Cross, the Quakers, or
other reputable relief organizations, and Safeguards can be set up to
assure that there will be n o misuse of relief funds. If through inertia,
cowardice and stupidity, these children are to be forgotten, written
off a. a dead loss by the governments of the United Nations, we of
organized labor in the United States want to record the fact that we
have not forgotten, we have never consented, and we are not resigned.

There is not much time left to find the way out of the Soviet
Polish inpasse. In the course of the summer the Red Army will probably
complete its reoccupation of the controversial western provinces and
cross the Curzon Line into undisputed Polish territory. A dangerous stu
alton will then arise if there is no Polish government in existence which
enjoys both popular support in the country and good relations with the
Soviet government. The Polish government in exile claims it commands
under present cTcumstances-but it certainly does not command the
confidence of Moscow. Some commentators here profess to see in the
Russian demand for a friendly regime in Poland an insstence on a COM
munst puppet government. The close relations between Moscow and
the definitely non-comnunist fCZechosovakian government ought to
dispel this idea. The Soviets have not made any pronouncement on the
future social system Of Poland. They have, not unreasonably, indicated
that they will not tolerate a Poland dominated or influenced by elements
who, to quote Walter Lippmann, "even before they are liberated from
the Nazs conceive themselves IS the spearpoint of a hostile coalition
against the Soviet Union" Recently hostility to such elements has be-
come manifest among the London exiles. Criticism of reacionary of
ficers, brought to a head by revelations of anti-Semitism in the army,
has resulted in a demand by the National Council that the commander
in chief, General Sosnkowski, be Invested of his appointment as sue
cessor to the presidency. Against this tmid first step to check the mill
tarists who surrounded President Raczkiewicz must be set the enforced
resignation of Stefan Litauer, al able journalist who has worked for
agreement with Russia, as chief press officer of the Polish Ministry of
nformaton-The Nation. .t

The American "Fuehrer"
Idea
d

UponMwhat principle or set of principles will the coming presidential
campaign be waged? Since we are in the midst of war, it might be that
"Americanism" should be the slogan-until it is remembered that both
major parties could subscribe to the general idea. It might be that
word unity of peoples would be worth talking about-except that Demo-
Gratis might be embarrassed by their southern super-race practitioners
and Republicans by their super-cass economics.
However, despite a lack of principles, there are a large number of
people who know exactly what they want. To them the issue is sim
plicty itself. The issue is-Roosevelt.
Roosevelt-just that's the ore of unity for 81 many groups that
one wonders whether the Congress should not be disbanded, at least
for the duration.
The American Labor Party split on the charge of some of its con-
sttuents that the party had fallen under the domination of Communists
1T is a charge, by the way, that ALP stalwarts vigorously deny. But the
American Labor Party is for Roosevelt.
Last week the spHter-of group organized a Liberal party. They
don't like the ALP and that dislike is cordially reciprocated. But they
heartily agree with each other-on Roosevelt. The Commies, seeing no
present reason of having a separate political party, have gone out of
action in that field and constituted themselves al a political associa-
on'-whic will support Roosevelt in vigorous agreement with the
ALP and the Liberals, with whom they disagree with equal vigor on
basic social and economic principles. And then there is the Democratic
party, standing opposed to the ALP, the Liberals and the Commies, but
apparently getting ready to agree with the above three-about Roose-
welt.
What conclusion can one arrive at by bordering this strange hodge
podge of hero worshippers? What other than that principles don't
matter; that the only thing that matters is the leader?
protests square with their undeniable belief that the safety of the nation
can be served in no other way than by retaining just one man as the
nations leader?
ernment by law rather than by leader. We have been told that prin-
ciples, not individuals, are what matter. But we remember that necessity
knows no law. Perhaps there are not principles strong enough to support
the capitalist economy. That may be the explanation for the fact that
so many divergent elements ire able to unite on one man. Reading

Our text for this article is two
front page headlines in the New
York Times of May 21st: New
Party Fixes 100000 Vote Goal for
Roosevelt" and Communists Dis
band Party in U. S.; Back Roose-
welt for Fourth Term"
To get the full significance of this
twin endorsements of Roosevelt,
remember that the new Liberal
Party in New York, which hopes
for AGO. 900 votes for Roosevelt, left
the American Labor Party because
it was captured by the same Com
munists who for Roosevelt's sake
(ostensibly) are becoming a mere
Communist Political Association.
Two minor parties-the American
Labor Party and this new Liberal
Party-Will compete in New York
with n major party, the Demo
cratic, in persuading voters to vote
for the same President and Vice
President and United State Senator,
without any outstanding issue tc
divide them.
This is more bewildering when
one remembers the scurrilous Com
munist abuse of Roosevelt when he
was a genuine New Dealer, and the
liberal and labor suspicion of some
of his acts in his present role of DR.,
Win-the-War.

End the Discord on France

In Lisbon a little group Of noxious Observation-Disclosures and
former V1chy governors in Africa-are reported to have been getting
their heads together. They are not powerful today-but they n a few
among many French reactionaries who hope that discord and confusion
will prevent emergence of a democratic postwar France.
We have faith that they won't succeed. But the fact is that Wash
ington, by withholding the recognition of the French National Com
rnittee which French public opinion demands, is sowing discord and
confusion. Washingtons policy, however innocently, inevitably encour-
ages rival, reachonary French forces to plot. for power.
Nor is it only among the French that this snubbing of the French
National Committee spreads discord. 1t clashes with the policies of
Russia and Britain. Mr.. Churchill has tried to follow the Washington
line or France, but British public opinion is now making sc strong a
demand for full recognition of the committee that the cabinet may soon
be forced to act, with or without the concurrence of our government.
There al be no doubt, moreover, that Washington in its French policy
is out of step with majority American opinion, which greatly admires
the French National Committee.
The administration, now givingth world outstanding leadership
in other spheres, seems to be the victim of some weird, fatal attraction
to error in French policy. 1t will risk most serious worldwide roper
cusIons unless it rights the course before the invasion. It should recog-
nie the committee S the provisional government, and agree to the
Chicago Sun.

Supreme Court Hits Election Thieves

Our High Court continues to smash ancient precedents. The latest
has to do with fraud in elections in which Federal, as well al state and
local officials, are running. W&
In the 1912 election in Kentucky, it was alleged that ballot boxes
were stuffed" in two Harlan county precincts, and that Senator
Happy" Chandler, now junior Senator from the Blue Grass state, was
the beneficiary. %M
The lower court held there was no Federal law to punish such a
case, but the Supreme Court, dividing 6-3, declared that, under the
Federal Criminal Code, a voter not only has the right to vote, but to have
that vote honestly counted. aEH-
The minority argued that the majority was stretching" the statute
and suggested that the right way out was to ask Congress to amend
the law. E4#~q &%

LOT OF WOMEN WHEN
STOPS

What will happen to millions of
women workers after the war? Will
they hold their gains, and what can
they do to ensure postwar secur-
ity?
Those are serious questions, and
the National Women's Trade Union
League attempts to answer them in
an interesting publication which
can only be referred to here.
It's advice is for working women
to join a union and throw in their
lot with the Is, 600, 900 other work
ers who make up organized labor.
The unions, it is pointed out, have
protected them during the emer-
gency, and will be needed more
than ever when the shooting stops.
