Roosevelt Abroad

1t is understandable that Britain,
Russia, France. China and other
members of the United Nations have
enthusiastically welcomed President
Roosevelt's reelection. More than
any other one man. by virtue of his
high Office and his past acts, he has
come to symbolic what this country
stands for in the world, and if he
had been defeated, peoples abroad,
not being we'll acquainted with our
domestic situation and our political
processes, would have tended to read
into the event thing not actually
) In it-a sign that American policy
might be basically revised in respect
to the war and the peace to follow.
AS for individual Allied statesmen,
the reaction of Prime Minister
Chuchill is probably fairly typical.
Now that the campaign is over, he
: frankly admits that the outcome has
filled him with great Joy" state
ment which in no sense can give
offense to either Mr.. Dewey or the
Republican party, to both of whom
he pays a handsome tribute. Mr..
Churchill, of course. knows that if
the election had gone the other way
the new American leadership, in
keeping with its pledges, would have
prosecuted the war with undimin-
ished vigor and pursued a peace
policy essentially the same as that
represented by President Roosevelt
But 1t Is fact, nonetheless, that a
change in administration, injecting
new personalities into international
diplomacy and requiring a new
meeting of minds at the highest
level OF craftsmanship on problems
OF the greatest and most delicate
import, would have interrupted,
however briefly, the continuity Of
Allied collaboration.
Prime Minister Churchill, Pre-
mier-Marshal Stain, Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek and other leaders
of the United Nations know Mr..
Roosevelt, and it is only natural that
II he had been defeated, they would
have felt a measure of uncertainty
and it would have taken them. as
we'll as Mr.. Dewey, some time to
clear it up. 1t is unlikely, in the long
run, that such change would have
basically affected the situation, but
from the standpoint of immediate
events, one can readily appreciate
why men like Mr.. Churchill pre-
ferred the status quo. for in diplo-
macy, no less than in ordinary busi-
ness, the introduction of a new
element at the top has an inhibiting
effect on action.
In more ways than one, in short,
personalities influence the course of
history-a fact which Mr.. Churchill
made clear yesterday when he said
that Tuesdays results had vastly
improved" the prospects OF holding
another sorely needed Anglo-Rus-
sian-American conference, a con-
ference whose decisions might
easily bridge the sufferings of man
kind and stop the fearful process of
destruction" To say this is not to
cast any reflection on Mr.. Dewey; it
Is merely to acknowledge that he is
relatively a stranger to peoples and
governments overseas and that Mr..
Roosevelt is not, and that therefore
the Allied world, preferring the
known to the unknown, voted with
the majority OF our own electorate
for fourth term, presumably on the
assumption that change at this
point would have had a disturbing
effect on the progress of the war.

Palestine Terrorism

The assassination Of Lord Moyne,
British Resident Minister In the
Middle East. is startling revelation
of the explosive possibilities in the
thorny problem of Palestine. For 1t
should be understood that. while the
crime waS committed in Cairo. 1t
had nothing to do with Egypt. The
murderers are Palestinian Jews and
have confessed that they were sent
from there to Egypt under SPECIFIC
orders to kill Lord Moyne.
The crime was, Of course, political,
and the terrorists clearly belong to
the so-called sternist group. the
fanatical fringe Of the Zionist move
ment which seeks to transform
Palestine into predominantly
Jewish state. Although the Zionist
ideal has been vigorously articulate
for more than half century. it &C
quired political Importance only
with the so-called Balfour Declara-
tion of 1917. At the height of the
First World War. the British gov
ernment thereby expressed itself as
being In favor of a Jewish national
home In Palestine. The wrestling of
that country from Turkish control
by British arms the following year
and the subsequent assignment of
Palestine as British mandate of
the League Of Nations encouraged
the Zionists to intensive efforts. Vast
sums of Jewish capital were poured
into the country, accompanied by
large scale immigration which raised
the Jewish element from a neglible
factor to more than fourth Of
the total population.
Unfortunately for Zionist aSpira-
tions, the movement encountered
the bitter hostility of the local Arab
majority backed by the whole senti-
ment Of the Arabic world, which was
being fired by nationalistic ideas
looking toward political and cultural
solidarity, wherein Palestine was
deemed an integral and essential
part. This head-on collision between
Zionism and Arabism presented
Britain with grave dilemma. Brit
ish statecraft attempted a series of
compromises, but the critical sit
uation throughout the Near and
Middle East on the eve of the pres
ent war impelled London to issue
the famous White Paper of May,
1899. Thereby the Jewish element
in Palestine was to be limited to
one-third Of the total population
while further land sales were to be
stopped.
The White Paper was a victory for
Arabism and crushing blow to
Zionist hopes. Zionist Jews every
where have never ceased to protest
against it, while in Palestine itself
militant groups have arisen to fur
ther their cause by measures rang
ing from political agitation to vio-
lence and downright terrorism. The
extreme terrorist organization takes
its name from Abraham Stern, an
immigrant from Poland. 1t is highly
secret, its disciples being trained to
blind obedience and inspired by
fanatical zeal. Credited with many
bomb throwings, political murders
and other revolutionary acts, the
sternists are reprobated by most
Zionists as harming rather than
helping their cause. Lord Moyne's
assassination in Egypt by Sternist
agents will probably redouble Brit
ish efforts to destroy this extremist
faction. But since Sternism Is a
symptom rather than a cause, the
problem of Palestine still awaits a
constructive solution.

Something to Remember

10 the Eultor Oh The Star,
The last sentence of your editorial
OF October 81, entitled Second Round
Trip" and reading But the real .oues-
ton before us is not whether we know
what needs to be done, but whether
we will do what we know must be done
If the United States is not to make
a third round trip into war, peace and
the aftermath" is to the point and we
must keep 1t in mind all the time.
The country gave indubitable evidence
OF It's Intentions Of entering into a world
organization with real force to maintain
peace.
In all the years have known it, your
paper has been sound on this great ques-
tion, which I hope will come soon to
fruition. BERNARD M. BARUCH.

Praise for Icelanders


To the Editor Of The Star:
Last midsummer, Iceland re-estab-
lished its ancient republic. This oc-
CURED at Thingvillier. site OF the world 3
first parliament. Said "parley -meet" or
"talk-fest" was held 1000 years ago
This years event recalls the cruelty
Of Norway's King Harold the Frowsy-
headed. Later he fiatteringly was called
Harold the Fair-haired"
Iceland started with the very. very
finest. For centuries before the migra-
ton to Iceland of the prosecuted under
King Harold began there had proceeded
in Scandinavia an almost frightful Sc
lection. Summers were short Midwin-
ter nights were almost continuous, with
ice everywhere. The soil, thin atop
glacier-polished granite, yielded scanty
crops. The Frost-King struck some-
times in July. even August, leaving
miles Of blackened crops. The only real
food-wealth was in the sea fisheries. To
gain the same, only too many departed
to meet death In the battle with the
Storm Giants. Weaklings died without
any need of spartan killings.
Following this rarely excellent Begin
ming, the Iceland folk remained homo
geneous. The stock remained pure.
There was no naturalization. Thus has
resulted the fine Icelanders of today.
Eugenists, whose faith Is in betterment
of human stocks, are interested In them.
They recall that Iceland gave the
Anglo-Saxons the model from the Lon
. don Parliament and our own Congress.
as well as our 48 State Legislatures.
Iceland was also the first nation to
achieve 100 per cent hteracy.
