these are millions of independent mind.
The Democratic managers will not be
slow to take advantage of the Willkie
situation. The Independents will want
to know where Gov. Dewey stands. If
he keeps silence till the convention and
confines himself to generalities there
after, an international crisis will arise
next summer. The other nations of
the world will wonder about Americas
policy after the elections. Will Russia
be given less cooperation? Will the
lease-lend agreement be abrogated? Will
China get continued support? Or will
the strategy of the war be unchanged
and the plans for international CO.
operation afterWard be more along the
lines OF the Roosevelt Hull policies than
along the lines Of the Republican ideas
OF 1920 when Harding succeeded Will
son?
The Wisconsin election is In a sense
break for the Democratic side because
1t raises the issue earlier than it might
otherwise have been raised. Mr.. Willkis
will continue to be outspoken. His in
duence may be like that of William Jen-
nings Bryan who when not a candidate
had q greater hold on the voters than
when he was running for office. He
was always opposed by the regulars, but
nevertheless influenced public opinion
and his party.
, Mr.. Willkie did make a mistake-he
should have known that to make
speeches saying exactly what he thought
about current issues is cardinal mis-
take inside the Republican party and
that to take definite position on world
affairs was very risky, indeed. But he
didn't make mistake in following his
conscience and expressing his convic-
tions irrespective of the effect thereof
politically. Sometimes it is important

although for nine years previous we had
carried on financial negotiations with q
government theoretically nonexistent.
The same attitude was adopted by other
states and contributed to the all but
neurotic fear of the Soviet government
OF the western powers. This procedure
was the more preposterous in that Com
munist parties, afdliated with and di-
rected by Moscow, existed in most coun-
tries, and were the chief argument for
nonrecognition, while the Soviet gov
ernment supported these parties as the
only means 1t had of influencing the
policies of other countries The dissolu-
ton of the Comintern is logical result
of the re-establishment of normal diplo-
matte relations. There is no doubt that
Stain would rather negotiate with Mr..
Hull than with Mr.. Browder. There
Is also no doubt that this Is better for us.
Now the converse Of disapproval is
approval. II nonrecognition means we
disapprove, then recognition obviously
means that we approve.
Other nations, which do not use
diplomacy in quite this fashion, are
therefore entitled to draw deductions.
We did recognize the Hitler govern
ment. We did so even though the Hit
Ter government was doing what the
Soviets were doing-organizing sup
porters OF its own policy inside other
states, even inside our own. How could
Hitler fail to deduce that we were more
opposed to the Soviets than to him?
We had the dubiously legalistic ar
gument that the transition from the
Weimar Republic to the Third Reich
was constitutional"
But this same argument failed in
the case Of Gen. Franco. There the
constitutional government was Loyalist.
Yet we recognized Gen. Frances gov
ernment once it was in effective con-
trol-through coup d'etat and civil war.
Under these conditions it Is no won
der that many Americans accuse the
State Department of being pro-Fascist.

Every one realizes that 1t is not the
military aspect OF the war which Is
causing the confusion. A really cohesive
United Nations could bring the enemy
to his knees with much greater ease.
But the doubts existing In the minds OF
so many member countries about the
postwar world, the tragically CONNECT
ing ideologies and practical issues which
are nowhere near being solved, make
the position of the Allies difficult.
The representatives of the smaller
nations are fearful that they are being
sold down the river. There are ample
reasons to justify their fears. Great
Britain and the dominions are worried
about the future of the empire, which
would be placed in dif1icult position II
the balance Of power were permanently
disrupted. And all these countries look
to the United States as the answer to
their problems.
In many of these embassies the spec
ter of nationalistic America brings
no fear. They believe a nationalistic
United States, fully aware of its tre-
mendous strength and vast potentials
during and after the war, cannot as
sumo semi-isolationist position as was
the case after Versailles.
From this angle the various policies
and views of candidates for the presi-
dency are being scanned. Full reports
Of their views and of their chances of
being elected are being sent by the
diplomats to the various chancellories
throughout the world.

Actually 1t Is no more pro Fascist
than I am. But we have gotten our
selves into dilemma by having not
one principle, but two, and applying
them more or less arbitrarily.
At this moment there are four
diplomatic situations in which we are
applying one principle or the other
or mixing both.
We have refused to recognize the
government of the Argentine. It has
come into power by the same means as
many other Latin American govern
ments-by coup d'etat. But this par
ttcular coup d'etat we don't approve Of.
However, we also do not approve Of
what the government of Fire Is doing,
and we have sent sharp diplomatic
note demanding a reinterpretation of
the traditional principles Of neutrality.
Yet, although we have been defeated,
we recognize the government of Mr..
de Valera.
Then there is the government of
Marshal Badoglio. There we apparently
apply both principles--recognitio and
nonrecognition. We have turned over
the theoretical administration of
Southern italy to him, but at Moscow
we announced our intention to sup
port reform of his government, and
we have indicated displeasure at full
recognition by the Soviet government.
Finally, We have failed to recognize
that Gen. de Gaulle heads even q
provisional government for France, In
spite of the fact that he Is in effective
control of French Africa. Our failure
to recognize him would not have equal
Importance, however, If we had not
made recognition or nonrecognition q
badge Of approval or disapproval.
There are, therefore, sound grounds
for divorcing approval from recogni-
ton. 1t has gotten us all balled up. and
Is not only confusing to other states,
but to opinion at home.

Be Sure to Be Counted

There will be no more Red Cross
report meetings until Tuesday, but
on the basis of the latest estimates
there are still some 10000 people in
the District area who have not con-
tributed to the War Fund.
Experience in this campaign has
shown that nearly everybody who is
solicited becomes a contributor, SO
the vast majority of these 10000
potential givers have not been
reached, or have fallen outside the
territories assigned to campaign
workers. One reason for The Stars
daily publication this week of a Red
Cross coupon, which may be clipped
and mailed to campaign headquar-
ters with contribution, is to reach
those persons who otherwise might
be missed in the organized canvass.
AS for the money goal itself, the
fine response from Washington and
the excellent teamwork of the cam
paign leave little doubt that it will
be reached; If not by Tuesday, later
on. The Government organization
has reached over 81 per cent of its
objective and about three-fourths of
the money sought is accounted for
In the remaining per cent. Two
OF the counties-Prince Georges and
Fairfax-and the residential section
OF Washington are still behind, but
with good prospects of making up
for the delay caused earlier in the
drive by bad weather.
What the campaign workers are
pinning their hopes on now is that
the final tabulation will show no
deficit in numbers of givers. Those
who thus far have been missed in
the regular solicitation will eliminate
the possibility of that deficit if they
come forward now and enroll them
selves among the number whose gifts
are making the campaign a success
from every point of view.

British Cabinet Problems

Important changes in the British
cabinet obviously impend. The
course of events in Britain during
recent weeks makes that much a
foregone conclusion. But just how
or when those shifts will take place
is as yet by no means clear, espe-
cially from this side of the Atlantic.
Parliamentary politics usually ger
inmates behind the scenes, and this
is especially true at the present juno
ture, when Britain is run by coali-
tion government which includes the
three major parties-Conservat
Liberal and Labor. While the Con-
ServativeS are the senior partner
and have the main say, Labor and
Liberal viewpoints and personalities
have to be taken into account in the
framing of all major decisions. This
means lot of confidential maneu-
vering.
1t is evident that both Parliament
and the public is more critical and
restive than published accounts
would indicate. The upshot is
host of rumors as to what is going on
behind closed doors. These rumors
center about the position and pros
poets of Anthony Eden and his rela-
tions with the Prime Minister. Mr..
Eden has for some time past been
doing double duty In addition to
his regular post as Foreign Secretary
"a cabinet office which corresponds
to our Secretary of State - Mr..
Churchills prolonged illness and alb
sence from Britain made it advisable
for Mr.. Eden to assume the leader
ship of the House of Commons. This
latter job he has filled with general
satisfaction, and that fact enhances
his prospects of being the next Prime
MiniSter-a contingency which may
not be remote if Mr.. Churchill does
not recover his health and strength.
But the growing compleXity and
tension of Britain'S domestic politics
make such demands upon Mr.. Eden's
time and energy that it is becoming
more and more difficult for him
simultaneously to conduct Britain'S
foreign affairs. The indications are,
therefore, that Mr.. Eden will resign
his post as Foreign Secretary in Or
der to devote himself wholly to the
leadership of the House, and the
name widely considered as his logi-
cal successor in the Foreign Office is
that of Viscount Cranborne, a man
of long cabinet experience and with
diplomatic background
However, Mr.. Eden has much un-
finished business which he could
probably do better than any success
sor. For one thing, there is the COM
ing visit of Mr.. Stettinius to London,

readiness of Mr. Willkie to make Wis
consin final test Of his strength. Any
one with a knowledge Of Wisconsins
political makeup would have said that
this was the last place for an out
spoken international policy man to seek
delegates. Wisconsin is whole heart
edly In the war now, but before Pearl
Harbor 1t was considered q strongly
isolationist electorate.
Mr.. WILKES withdrawal accelerates
by many weeks the Republican situa-
ton and in sense clarifies the air.
1t puts Gov. Dewey on the spot. He
Is out in front. He must choose soon
between the isolationist and interna-
tional cooperation wing of the party.
II he tries to carry water on both shoul-
ders, he will become a straddler in the
eyes Of the independent voters. If he
appears to lean closer to the Willkie
viewpoint than the isolationist view
point, he will virtually assure his own
election.
Many Republicans Of the conservative
school have looked upon Mr.. Willhe as
a lone figure with little or no influence
This has been proved in Wisconsin in
four -cornered primary. They have
scorned him as Democrats If Dem
ocratic votes were no longer important
in country in which the majority has
three times In succession voted Demo-
cratic. These Republicans also have
regarded it as important to drive Mr..
Willkie out of the Republican party,
little realizing that it is the Willkie fol-
lowing among the independent voters
that has been at stake.
Where will the Willkie following 90?
If the Republican managers are count
ing only on corralling Republican votes

as lost for them. They must convert

Good Friday

BY suffering the soul grows, and
the sorrowful years of war through
which mankind is passing are bring
ing to average people a more COM
pelling understanding of the Pas
sion of Jesus Christ. Thus it hap
pens that Good Friday now bears a
significance which in less trying
times it lacked. The anniversary of
the CrucifiXion once had merely
historical connotations. 1t was OBJ
served simply in acknowledgment
of the Saviour's submission of Him
self to death. Perhaps it was re-
garded principally as a preface to
Easter.
Now, however, humanity's tradi-
tional attitude is disturbed. The
destruction of life implicit in
global conflict may not be a phe-
nomenon altogether novel, yet or
binary men and women shudder at
its willfulnesS. 1t is the conviction
of thousands of folk that the pre-
vailing ordeal of the whole race
traces back to the sinfulness of only
a few evil persons. So it was in the
case of the Messiah. The masses,
as Saint Mark testifies, heard Him
gladly" With specific reference to
contests between nations, He told
them: BE ye not troubled, for such
things must needs be-"
The mystic teaching here expressed
is true in the experience of every
individual. All that humanity pos
sesses of values worth having has
been achieved by sacrifice. The
race must pay for its blessings.
Otherwise, they would not be appre-
ciated fully. What Jesus preached
was the doctrine of righteousness,
fellowship and sympathy, without
obedience to which civilization is
impossible. He lived, as we'll as
died, that the Kingdom of God-the
reign of justice and mercy-might
be established in this tortured earth.
And Christ did not endure His
agony OF spirit, mind and body fruit
lessly. Despite occasional reverses,
the progress of mankind has been
continuous age after age from
Golgotha onward. The price in
terms of pain has been high, but
the achievement already is magnifi-
cent. Thus His vision will become
a reality. People are beginning to
understand with an accumulated
wisdom the meaning of the Cross.
New offerings are piled at it's foot.
Valiant immortals of Tarawa and
Casino have placed them there. A
grateful multitude beholds in the
spectacle the quickened promise of
salvation for all mankind.

is an excellent case history to prove
this point. The Russian troops which
met the first German onset were for
the most part men who had never heard
a shot fired in anger, save for few
divisions which had served in Finland.
Some of the older officers had served
in the World War, in the Polish War,
or the War of Liberation But for the
most part the Russian Army was COM
posed of raw troops as far as actual
battle experience was concerned 1t
fought with bravery and devotion
against an enemy whose tactical su-
periority was painfully evident at every
point of encounter; and it was only at
a vast price in lives and lost territory
that it succeeded in saving Russia.

whatever they are, and however
they may be made-and be in effective
control of the diplomatic machinery.
The advantage Of this standard is
that it can be exactly applied. There
are practical reasons for it: Every state
needs to maintain relations with the
effective government. Every state has
to protect It's own citizens and their
legitimate interests in every other state
The principle of procedure is so we'll
established that the severance of diplo-
matte relations between states is COM
monty considered a prelude to war.
However, the United States, before
this administration, but increasingly
under it, has developed another practice:
To recognize or not recognize as an
indication of approval or disapproval.
1t has been applied without reference
to intended action. We are not unique
in this, though few states have INDUCED
in it as we have. 3
The outstanding case is the Soviet
Union, which has been effectively in
power since 1920. Yet we did not recog-
nize the Soviet government until 1888
