nology into q single interdependent
neighborhood, no great nation can safely
wash its hands of region like Europe.
The problems there, no less than in
Asia, are Of direct concern to Americans,
and If the next peace is to be sound
one, the United States, together with
Britain and Russia, will have to con-
tribute largely to their solution. To this
end, an immense amount of patience
and understanding among all parties
concerned-on the other side of the
water as well as on this-will be an
essential precondition. For no matter
what the pressure blocs may say in
their propaganda and counterpropa-
ganda. the situation cannot be accurately
reduced to simple black land white terms
and will call for mutual forbearance.
reasonableness, fair give-and-take and
more than little compromise.
1t is easy for idealists and perfec-
tionists to be cynical about the word
compromise" but in such q piebald
and stricken area as Europe there are as
many hearts desires as there are men
and nations. and none Of them-human
nature being the imperfect thing 1t is
can be fully satisfied. In the circum-
stances. to try to make over the conti-
nent according to ones preconceived no.
tions or passionate bias Is to be mill
tantly shortsighted and unrealistic. A
sounder approach, for Americans as for
other peoples. would seem to be d
meliorist one -one not expecting Utopia,
but counting upon the progressive per-
fectibility Of society to make the bad
less bad through the course Of future
years, and the good better.
Given such frame Of mind, given
the necessary patience and intelligence,
humanity horTtfled by this war ought

World Outlaws
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PfeSS.
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, in a
statement criticizing Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey's speech accepting the
Republican presidential nomination,
called last night for establishment
of peace machinery with naval and
military powers to crush '.interna-
tional criminals and outlaws"
Senator Connauy said American
troops were dying because Of failure
to construct and adhere to effective
peace machinery after the World
War.
I'VE must not fail again." he said.
Adequate machinery cannot be
maintained by gentle words alone.
1t must be endowed with power
military and naval power when
needed. Cancellation and an in
ternational court and all peaceful
means should first be employed.
IT they are defled, force must be
invoked.
Regrets Republican Stand.
"Partisanship must not cloud or
confuse our national interest. The
problem Is greater than the fortunes
OF parties. My regret is that the
Republican platform and Gov.
Dewey did not take more aggressive
and definite stands with respect to
this problem
Senator Connally said Gov. Dewey's S
speech contained little that is con-
structive or definite, was lacking in
detailed program and promised
relief and reform without any
fomula for either"
Criticizing the Republican party's
farm plank, President James G.
Patton of the National Farmers,
Union declared it adds up, If it adds
up at all, to complete wreckage of
existing national farm programs
without offering any substitute"
Problems Evaded, Patton SAYS.
Mr.. Patton said the COP plat
form calls for breaking down agri-
cultural programs into 48 State
programs and contended that 1T
has been proved time and time
again that national agricultural
programs cannot be operated ex-
cept nationally"
All OF the problems are evaded.' y
Mr.. Patton said in a statement, al
OF the promises are general ones
that cannot be kept If other PROM
ises In the platform are kept. Some
points are obviously meaningless
sops."
Senator Hill, Democrat of Ala
bama said: THE Republicans frank.
ly admitted that they straddled or
the foreign policy, but they said
that Gov. Dewey would clarity it
Gov. Dewey came along in his
speech and outstraddled the con-
vention straddlers."

A,qentine War Chief
Revealed as ORDERING
Preparation for War
~ the Associated Press.


A speech by Juan Peron, War
Minister of Argentina, in which he
urged his country to prepare for an
inevitable war, was made public by
the State Department last night as
officials awaited the return here of
Ambassador Norman Armour from
Buenos Aires to report on the po-
litical situation in Argentina.
Col. Peron's speech, directing Ar
gentina to prepare for war was
made on June 10 at La Plata, but
received little public attention in
this country because of the great
flood of invasion news. 1t aroused
special interest among American
officials
An authoritative source inter
preted the speech as meaning that
all attempts to establish lasting
world peace are doomed to failure.
Mr.. Armour is expected to bring
e fun report on conditions in Argen-
tina, which will be discussed by the
State Department with other Amer
ican republics. His sudden recall
regime in Argentina.
Col. Peron, arguing that it would
make no difference to Argentina
whether the United Nations or the
Axis won the war, said there was no
prospect of world peace security and
that "the powers concerned will
inevitably quarrel over the peace
70 yfri1 NJ L,aI
neutral nations which did not take
part in the war against their COM
mon enemy"
He listed Argentina among the
satisfied" nations of the world and
said I'VE only aspire to our ma
tional expansion through the de-
velopment of our resources and the
disposal of excess production in the
various world markets in order to
acquire what we need
At the same time, Col. Peron de-
clared that "if diplomacy cannot
achieve the political objective de-
cided upon, then it undertakes to
prepare the best conditions for
achieving it by force, always pro-
vided that the situation makes the
use of this extreme measure appear
necessary"
At another point he spoke of a
need to increase "the power of our
armed forces in accord
ance with Argentinas importance
in order to assure the respect and
consideration it deserves in the
world concert and in the continental
family of nations"
In order to attain the kind of |
military establishment which Col. |
Peron projected, he said Argentina
must build up powerful heavy
industry and Ito that end official
action on the part of the state is
undoubtedly needed"

in a dispatch sent shortly before
midnight.
The Germans are rushing major
reinforcements up from the south,
Mr.. Greene wrote, adding:
German alarm was reflected
sharply by the fact that hitherto
the enemy has only moved vehicles
forward under cover of darkness be-
cause of Allied domination of the
skies, whereas today tThursday), for
the first time, Nazi transport was on
the move in broad daylight"
More than 100 of these enemy We
hicles were shot up by Allied war
planes during the day.
Both Flanks Secure.
The correspondent said both
f1anks of the British corridor across
the Odon now are stoutly secure
but the Germans are showing theil
teeth from Eyrecy to Bougy -"
All forts along the Cherboure
breakwater now are in Allied hands
The last gave up when Maraudel
bombers swooped in at less than 6 ,00t

plosives. The Germans began wav.
ing white flags as the smoke cleared

stroyers and light coastal forces
were keeping a close watch on the
Channel Islands, where two Ger.
man divisions were believed cut off
British warships are interceptine
supply conveys whenever possible
The islands have big guns capable
OF shooting up to 10000 yards. They
could shell the Cherbourg PENN
sula but could do no great damage
since there would be no way for the
Germans to observe the fire.
(The Berlin radio said TODAY
the Germans had repelled Allied
destroyer thrusts directed against
the Channel Islands The broad
cast did not specify when the
action had taken place.
Ages Indicate Dwindling Resources
The ages of some $1,000 Ger.
mans taken prisoner by the Amer.
