w outbreak of political gang
steriSm in Greece (diplomati-
cally called a e"revolution") is
being described as the crises Of
the liberation of Europe from

not make sense.
Our columnistS and common
tators are telling their type
writers and microphones the
British were trying TO run
things arbitrarily in Greece, and
also in Italy where the British
said they would not like Count
SforZa as premier.
Indeed our state department
spoke out, unasked, at the
height of the crisis, in favor
of letting all these nations de-
eide for themselves what they
want, thereby inflicting a NOR
tai diplomatic wound upon the
British position.
Now no voice can possibly be
raised against a state depart
ment policy of self-determina-
ton.
As a policy it expresses what
all America. without important
dissent, would like to see de-
veloped equitably and justly.
But the British themselves
are expressing the same policy.
They favor self-determination.
What, then, is wrong? Why

The True Pattern
Takes Shape

ranean life line began to be affected
no longer by the receding German
menace, but by the infiltration of
Russian influence-she could not af.
ford acquiescence and did not in
dulge it.
These nations have not had their
natural interests and ambitions
changed by the war, but only di-
verified by it.
NOV they are reverting to them.
~ And they will make the peace
according to them, not according to
the delusions of idealism and do
goodism which have too long had
New Deal Washington with its head
in the clouds and it's feet dangling
underneath-miles above the ground
of common sense.
The American position in all this
is bewildering.
We did not intercede against
Russia in the Baltic region, because
we professed unwillingness to pro-
woke an ally still much needed.
But we have interceded against
Britain in Italy and the Balkan
region.
The effect of our failure to inter-
cede against Russia was to seal the
doom of the Baltic nations.
The effect of our intercession
against Britain in Italy and the
Balkans is TO PROMOTE RUS
SIAN INTERESTS AND AMBI-
TIONS THERE.
Why do we refuse to NEEDLE
where it would be against Russia,
and then rush in to NEEDLE where
it is Russia's gain?
w HY do we consistently and per-
w sistently get on Russia s side in
all these things, when to do so is no
gain of ours and is fraught with
detriment and dangerto our British
ally?
The pattern of the postwar world
is not being fashioned according to
the dreams and idealism of New Deal
Washington, but according to the in
terests and ambitions all nations had
before the war, retained during the
war although in allegiance, and will
again pursue after the war.
If the violent events in Greece do
not persuade us of this fact, their
repetition in other countries will soon
offer further persuasion-and our
establishment will be the greater
the longer we ignore the true situa-
ton.

THE series OF violent events in
i Greece, and to an almost equal
extent the series of barbed diplo-
matte exchanges in -Italy9haye
brought the internationalist struc.
ture of postwar peace planning clat-
tering down upon the heads of it's
painstaking but futile builders.
These events are compelling uni

people too often treat unpleasant and
unwanted facts) by ignoring them.
This war has been tangle of op-
portunistic and strange alliances, as
well as a conflict of resistance to ag-
gression and acquisition.
We know, for instance, that the
now shattered alliance between Ger
many and Italy was a wholly
opportunistic alliance between his
torically antagonistic nations, and
that the still continuing alliance be-
tween Germany and Japan is an
utterly cynical alliance between two
nations ultimately and frankly in
tending the destruction of each other.
DUT what we do not face with
I'D realism is that there are alliances
within the United Nations structure
of an equally opportunistic and
cynical character.
The situation which made the
United Nations alliances necessary
created by. the aggressions of the
Axis powers-justifies them.
But it does not change the fact
that some of the nations thus allied
against the Axis by sheer necessity
are fundamentally antagonistic to
each other in matters of interest and
ambition.
And it does not change the fact
that each of these nations will pursue
its natural interests and ambitions
after the necessity for alliance passes.

Why Is Britain Rebuked
but Stain Is Exempt?
BY BENJAMIN DeCASSERES

BY BENJAMIN DeCASSEKES
WHY do the United States and England make
w fish of Italy and Greece and fowl of Soviet
Russia?
Secretary of State Stettinus' statement of
Dec. A, directed mainly at the Churchill govern
ment, says that "the composition of the Italian
government is purely an Italian affair."" and that
the United States expects the Italians to work
out their problems of government ALONG
DEMOCRATIC LINES WITHOUT INFLU--
ENCE FROM OUTSIDE"
He further says that "this policy would apply
to an even more pronounced degree with regard
to governments of the United Nations in their
liberated territories"
These statements record the state depart
ment's dissent from Churchill's antagonism to the
ascension to power of Count Sforza in Italy and
his Endorsement of the monarchist regime in
Greece.
WHY HAS OUR GOVERNMENT NOT
SAID THE SAME THINGS TO SOVIET RUS
STA?
WHY is it that Athe composition of the Italian
w government is purely an Italian affair" and
the composition Of the governments Of Poland,
Lithuonio LotUia, Estonia, Iran and Finland
is purely Russian affair."
Why do 1--WE expect the Italians (and pfesum-
ably the Greeks and the Belgans) to work Out
their problems of government along democratic
lines WITHOUT INFLUENCE FROM THE OUT
SIDE" and remain fearsomely mum when Soviet
Russia DOES NOT ALLOW the countries she
forcibly annexes to work out THEIR problems

She DID MOTT -
She treated these nations precisely as Hitler
treats conquered nations-"Ploy the game or
aCoy-Or else"
WHY, them does our state department slap
w Churchill in the face because he is inter-
ferng with Italian, Belgian and Greek affairs and
salaam to Stain for doing the same thing-only
on a more colossal and dangerous scale?
If we have the courage to dictate to one of
our allies, England why have we not the manhood
to dictate to another one of our allies, Soviet
Russia?
And while we are on this important subject
let us ask Mr.. Churchill pointed question:
Why does he condemn the Communist move
ment in Greece and Italy, while supporting it in
Yugosavia and Poland?
A LII of which apparently boils down to this:
n SOVIET RUSSIA CAN DO AS SHE
PLEASES.
She can violate all agreements and charters"
and the comfy of allies.
She can destroy democratic processes"
wherever she sees fit.
What secret power has made this Kremlin
oligarchy exempt from criticism, let alone inter-
ference?
Is it FEAR or the sinister working of the
worldwide Communist revoution-which is aimed
mainly at the conquest of the United States? Is
