NO LET-DOWN YET
(San Diego UniOn) J

(San Diego OnlOn)
One result of our failure to defeat Ger
many as quickly as some optimistic
prophets predicted is to postpone indef-
initely any large-scale reconversion OF
war industry. In the face of the fanatical
opposition encountered on the west front,
responsible officials are not setting any
definite length to the duration OF the
fighting. As a matter of fact, the war
is Just now reaching a stage where more
and more supplies are vital. The closer
we get to Berlin, the fiercer the resist
ance we may expect to encounter ana
the greater our transport and supply
problems will be.
In the Pacific, it is evident that the
enemy appreciates fully what retaklng
the Philippines would mean and that
the japanese tactics of pouring in men
without regard to cost will make that
struggle long and desperate.
With these facts in mind, it IS appar-
ent that we cannot expect any early let
down in war production. Instead. as the
critical days draw near, we may have to
augment it. The better our production
to support our men on two vast fronts,
the shorter will be the war.

RUSSIA STILL STANDS
AS WORLD PUZZLE

Either Russia is honest in telling the
world that she is altogether concerned
with her own postwar recovery and has
no time or inclination to participate in
various international surveys now under
way or feels that when the proper time
comes she can compel the revamping of
understandings or even to start all over.
Typical of Stalin's refusal to take part
in the present aviation council which
is endeavoring to outline an international
program for commercial airlineS. The
council is going ahead but there is an
under-current feeling among the lndlVld-
ual participants that whatever negotla-
tions are approved or understandings
outlined, they will not stand up if and
when Russia gets ready to say her piece.
This hold-out attitude has marked all
Allied war councils save one-Teheran.
And there the Soviet chief didn't mnce
words as to what his plans would be after
the war In the wake of all war councils
the Russians have increased their fight
ing tempo and because of this, if total
agreements were lacking through parleFs.
the Allies have continued giving Stain
all the materiel he could use.
ANY world aviation set-up without
Russia figuring in it appears wholly i'm
possible The matter of 'sky rights
alone is a factor upon which success of
any plan depends. Again, Russia Is one
of the greatest fields for air business.
This is recognized to its fullest extent.
The vast territory without landing rights
would be an insurmountable barrier to
anv worldwide plan.
1t remains to be seen whether Stain
can hold out on his routine reply of too
busy fighting" to all bids to parleys.
1t does appear, however, the Russ pre-
mier is leaning too far backward in his
evident desire to keep out of all affairs
of an international tie-up fringe.
While the shadow Of Russia's refusa
to participate hOvers over the council
and places doubt on the permanency Of
any plan adopted for future action. some
forward steps have been accomplished.
AS in other international matters, that
of the small nations bobbed up at the
sessions. Much Of the apprehension over
this feared stumbling-blOck has been OBJ
liberated through the cooperative spirit
of a number of them. through intelligent
and sincere representations.
No small part of this highlight of the
meetings is the spirit shown by the Latin
nations and Mexico and Cuba Not ONLY
has the council had the benefit Of frank
and comprehensive presentations Of small
nations wishes. but the fact that they
have participated and that the council
had the doors open for them, augurs we'll
for the final success of any proper and
equitable program.
A knotty problem. while far from solv-
ed. is being approached in a manner that
should overcome phantom" obstacles
and even many real obstacles.

GREECES ATTITUDE
NOTEWORTHY
(RiverSide Daily PreSsl

(RiverSide Daily PreSsl
Through four years of German occu-
patton Greece suffered torture. hunger,
cold and disease. With liberation a bitter
fight between opposing political factions
has come to the surface, and ruinouS in
flation has been added to the cOuntry's
other miSeries.
1t would seem that the Greeks could
be forgiven if. absorbed in their own
tragic problems they paid scant atten-
tion to anything more than the task of
trying to restore their own health, sta
bility and prosperity. Yet their govern
ment has announced that the Greek navy
will be at the Allies disposal for use in
the Far Eastern war.
The Greek navy is neither large nor
powerful, but its offer cannot be dismiss
ed as gesture. Or, if it is a gesture, it
is one of the most generous that could
be made. The Greek government might
have decided that the war in Japan was
none of its concern. But it has decided
that freedom anywhere is its concern. In
doing so it has acted in the best tradition
of Greace's noble history.

FOREIGN SERVICE
DIGNITY PRESERVED

The Byington reception revived
another faVorite Foreign Service
stcry about the time Undersecretary
OF State J. Reuben Clark, serving
under Secretary Frank B. kellogg in
the Coolidge administration, made
a little talk in which he referred
to the unWritten Foreign Service
Rule Number Six which was, he
said. Don't take yourself too damn
seriously
Venerable and loyal Foreign Serv-
ice employees were Mortified. Such
comment was belittling tc the most
aristocratic of all government agen-
cies.
A short time later, when Coolidge
was out, Hoover was in and Henry
L. Stimson was secretary of state,
his undersecretary, Joseph Cotton,
attempted to correct the Clark in
suit when he was called upon to
speak at a Foreign Service luncheon.
Il am told,' he said, that there
are a number of rules for a new
underSecretary of state to follow
and tie most important is Rule
Numb.r Six. The undersecretary
of state shall not take himcelf too
damn seriously
The older employees slept on that
one overnight and decided it fixed
up the diplomatic slur, all right.

One of the most grotesque of recent
dispatches is that out of Madrid in which
Dictator Francisco Franco declares he
never was a friend of Hitler or MussOlini
in fact these two personages always
have been distinctly distasteful to him.
The record shows that if he does cher
ish such sentiments, they are Of very re-
cent origin.
There is an old couplet:
'When the devil was sick, the devil
monk would be-
And Franco must have been sickened
quite a number of times since he dis
patched the famous Spanish Blue Legion
to the eastern front in order to make his
own special contribution to the defeat OF
the United Nations.
The coming of q reorganized and liber-
ated anti-fascist Europe already is cast
ing its shadows.
Sooner or later, the Spanish people are
going to take over their country from
Dictator Franco.
The tide of liberation from regime
established by foreign fascist bayonets
cannot be checked there any more than
in France or Italy.
