The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-31

All OF which brings us back to
the original forgotten point Of
the original much-controverted
story-that the President can be
a very forgiving man.
WINNIE DIDN'T CLICK
Churchill's recent "powerhouse"
speech before Commons didn't
click with persons high up in
the Administration Actually, 1t
brought out the growing differ
ences between him and the Presi-
dent, also his spats with Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden, also the
Importance of overhauling U. S.
British political relations. admin
istration permanent peace ideas
are much nearer those announced
by Eden the day after Churchill,
when he went out Of his way to
emphasize the cooperatin Of
smaller countries with the Big
Four.
Here are some of the differences
whcih realistic advisers inside the
Administration have been want
ing to have Strengthened out with
Churchill for some time:
/. American boys will never
fight to protect India in the fu-
ture, so 1t Is foolish to let Chur-
chill think that Britain and the
U. S. A. Thorough alliances with
Russia, can help guarantee the
Empire. The only protection to
India must be healthy India
willing to protect herself. When
FDR talked to Churchill about
India two years ago, the p. M.
was almost insulting.
2. The United States will insist
on giving Hongkong and other
former Chinese possessions back to
China. When this was proposed
by the President at Cairo, Chur-
chill fatty refused.
3. An alliance of big powers
as proposed by Churchill cannot
keep permanent peace in the
world any more than the Congress
of Vienna, which divided UP Ma
poleon's empire in 1915 among
Russia, Austria, England and Ger
many.
4. President Roosevelt, so far
as he has thought things out,
favors a peace machinery based
on cooperation with small powers
as well as big. He doesn't go for
Churchill'S Metternich idea Of
balancing the world among heav-
lily armed big powers.
5. The old British empire for
which Churchill fought fifty years
ago in the Indian northwest bor-
der wars, and in the Sldan and
the Boer wars. will never come
back despite his youthful men,
cries. And the United States
can never assume the drag an
Choir Of helping to protect that
kind of an Empire in the flu
ture.
FINALLY, every time the Bril-
fish have been pulled into a war
in the last half century. we have
helped pull them out. Therefore
we should have a large vote in
the set-up which may make or
prevent wars in the future.
Some of these general ideas
were limited to Churchill during
the Cairo Teheran conferences
with no very favorable reaction.
1t may be that in the near fu-
ture they will be taken I'D again.

Mrs. Judge Edward C. Eicher,

sage that your husband learned
patience from living all these

quite believe that, the Judge sure
has real patience to preside over

change the most serious sedition
