De GuuIIe's Victory

For the time being at least, France
seems to have escaped what might
we'll have been paralyzing political
impasse. General de Gaulle, as in
terim President, has succeeded in
forming coalition government, al
though only few days ago the gulf
between him and the French Com
munists appeared to be almost too
wide to be bridged They had de-
manded that one of their numbers
be named either Foreign Affairs
Minister, Minister of War or Min
lister of Interior. but he held his
ground, declaring. in effect, that he
could not trust them in any of these
three key posts, although he wanted
them in the cabinet
1t is certainly evidence of De
Gaulle's personal strength that the
Communists have found it wise to
back down from their earlier posi-
ton and settle for five lesser posts
Industrial production, national
economy. labor. ornaments, and
Minister of State without portfolio,
one of four such offices. Sixteen
other cabinet places have been dis
tributed among one Moderate, one
Radical, two Independents, six Pop
ular Republicans and six Socialists,
the latter receiving the Foreign At
fairs and Interior Ministries, with
De Gaulle holding on to war by
naming himself to head new Min
istry of Defense. The Communists
thus have received less than the
lions share, being content with what
they have apparently because of
feeling that it would have done
them more harm than good to re-
fuse to join the government unless
their original demand were satisfied.
On the surface this seems to be
an important political victory for
General de Gaulle. Since he and
the CommuniStS-who hold more
seats in the Constituent Assembly
than any other one party any
thing but sympathetic toward each
other. however. it would be prema-
ture to say that he can now count
on smooth sailing ahead. But the
critical tenseness between them has
definitely eased, and that is all to

Msqr. Shehun's Destination

The latest honor which has come
to the Right Reverend Monsignor
Lawrence Joseph Shehan should be
a matter of satisfaction to his
brethren of all denominations. His
service has been rendered to all
classes and conditions of people
since first he came here soon after
his ordination twenty-five years ago.
A born pastor, he has been a shep-
herd of shepherds also in the sense
that he has set an example for his
contemporaries of every school of
thought in the liberality of his
mission. The philosophy of his
endeavors has been inclusive, CO.
operative, consistently friendly. 1t
is not too much to say that he
has been in his own person link
between the members of his own
particular branch of the universal
church and those of all other
branches.
Both at Saint Patrick's and in the
office of the Catholic Charities, Mon
Signor Shehan has had a distinctive
career. He is an eloquent and per-
suasive preacher, writes attractively,
teaches with skill and effect, is a
wise counselor and has few, if any,
equals in this city as a practical
sociologiSt, dealing directly day after
day with multiplicity of human
problems. How much of his present
work he will be able to continue now
that Pope Plus has designated him
auxiliary bishop of Baltimore and
Washington remains to be seen.
His elevation undoubtedly involves
many added burdens and RESPONSE
bilities. He will be associated with
the Most Reverend John M. Nc
Namara as principal assistant to
Archbishop Michael J. Curley and
thus will be expected to assume a
heavy schedule of duty. That,
naturally, will mean wider oppor-
tunities for the exercise of his
unquestioned talents. A greater
number of beneficiarieS of his labors
inevitably is indicated.
Catholics as well as Catholics
recognize Monsignor Shehan's lead
ership and join in congratulating
him and in wishing him Godspeed
in his new position. He has merited
and should receive the confidence
and generous help of all who be-
lieve in fellowship in religion, mutu-
ality in the common welfare and
love of country expressed in neigh
borliness.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

The shortcomings of our own civiliza-
ton; the dissatisfaction We feel over
our social system or support Of Euro
pean empires against native revolts,
even when engineered by former Axis
collaborators or with the open or veiled
support of other great powers; the
doubts we entertain about supporting
Chang Kai-Shek in his attempts to
unity China against the opposition of
Chinese Communists; our feeling of
guilt over the mere possession of the
however temporarily secret atomic
bomb: all these contribute to what
have called the Hamlet frame of mind,
the self-analysis and self -castigation
which always plague sensitive and civ
iliZed men.
In themselves they indicate high
state of moral consciousneSs-the wish
to do only the absolutely right thing
But they defect us from a considera-
ton of ends by paralyzing our wills in
regard to means. seses%s'
n
The end of that state of mind is
either to make a decision too late to
avert catastrophe or to play the role of
the black lamb to the grey falcon of
those who are ruthlessly regardless of
means.
Consider the situation of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle. The Communist party
emerged from the French elections as
the strongest single party, with the
most numerous membership in the new
Chamber of Deputies. According to
democratic procedures, the Communist
faction should therefore have one of
the key government postwar, foreign
affairs or interior (police).
The vice premier of the French
Chamber, Jacques Duclos, has emerged
as a real party leader over Maurice
Thorez, the titular chief, who fed to
Moscow in September, 1899, when the
Soviet Union, while declaring neutrality.
%as putting its weight on the German
side. Thorez is regarded by many re-
sistance Frenchmen as a deserter.
But what about Jacques Duclos?
Gen. de Gaulle, as an army man, is
certainly familiar with army intelligence
matters. He thus must know that JAG
ques Duclos was, during the war, the
chief Of one branch of the Russian in
telligence in France.
The Russians, like other governments,
maintain in foreign countries open mill
tary intelligence through embassy at
taches and secret espionage service

operating through paid agents But in
addition they have third-feeding in
also to the co-ordinator of military in
telligence in Moscow and working
through fervent Communist partisans
in trade unions, factories and BUREAU
cratic government positions.
Duclos, originally an important figure
in the party was picked by the Rus
slams to head this branch. During the
war he was openly called ''the spy"
in Paris newspapers, which-obviously
in possession of documentary proofs
challenged him to sue for libel before
the courts. He never did.
When President Roosevelt demanded
the dissolution of the Comintern as
condition for satisfactory cooperation
between the Allies, he was not acting
in behalf of capitalism, but in behalf
OF the freedom OF nations, including
our own.
There is evidence to indicate that
Duclos has become the leading figure
In the revived Comintern, which now
seemingly operates, not from Moscow,
but from Paris. Pressure on American
Communists to get rid of Earl Browder
and return to the class struggle" came
from Jacques Duclos in a 7,6O0-word
article, published Immediately on the
collapse of the German armies, and led
to complete reversal by Communists
here of the wartime policy.
II we are now called 'reactionaries"
and tools of tmperialist interests" for
reporting to the American public what
must obviously be the reason behind
President De Gaulle's stand, We must
inquire at what point liberalism stops
short OF national suicide? The grant,
ing OF key military positions to Duclos
is asked on the ground of parliament
tary democracy, which Molotoff. in his
last speech, denied is true democracy

Russian agent in charge of the
French Army, foreign policy or police
force is not only the concern of France,
but OF ourselves, when this same Duclos,
four months ago, influenced the actions
OF an American party which presents
candidates for elections.
President Roosevelt, who staked all
on his determination to bring about
genuinely trustful relations with the So
viets, on the basis of reciprocal good
faith, was tough when deceived would

could not condone the terroristic situa-
ton which existed in their country.
They attempted in vain to remedy
some of the abuses of the government
to which they had adhered The re-
suit of these attempts was that Subasic
and Grol were forced out of the govern
ment and branded by Tito as fascist
sympathizers. With their exit the Tito
government no longer represented the
coalition which had been one of the
main conditions for the recognition of
Yugoslavia by this Government
The elections of November IL were
described in dispatches which reached
Washington from its representatives in
Yugoslavia as gigantic farce All those
representing the four parties on the
ballot belonged to the National Front
party, which is Tito's own organiza-
tion. The opposition refused to partici-
pate, according to the dispatches, not
because it believed it had no chance

litical secret police-was very active and

against the National Front might have

Hence, in the opinion of the Amer
leans who observed the Yugoslav elec-
tions unofficially, they did not comply
even remotely with the provisions of the
Yalta agreement No foreigner in Bel
grade was deceived by the announce
ment that 80 per cent of the Yugoslav
population had voted for Tito. Elec-
tions in all totalitarian states have about
the same result.
These matters were brought to the
attention of the head of the Yugoslav
government without receiving any pub
licity from either Washington or Bel
grade. 1t cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned here whether the British gov
ernment, which was responsible for
the rise of Tito in the early days of the
war. has sent a similar note Neither
can it be ascertained at this time
whether Tito has replied to the Amer
lean observations
The representations made at Belgrade
do not presage rupture of diplomatic
relations with Yugoslavia at the present.
They have merely served the purpose
of placing the American Government on
record that it has not been deceived
either by the results of the election or
by the constitution of the present cabi-
net which no longer represents the
coalition promised by Tito.
