only one faction, it isn't so bad But when two factions of Free Koreans, Free Poles, Free Slavs or Free h. dians get to popping off at each other, the din gets real merry. Most ly this happens at press conferences where the representatives of the super-patriot house organs to try to raise embarrassing questions which will bring out support for their pet causes. Mostly these ef- forts flop.
 It is, of course, noble to fight for cause and 1t isn't polite to scoff at another mans beliefs. Furthermore, these walls from the mourners' bench can't be ignored.
 Spokesmen for almost every dele- gation here have emphasized that the San Francisco Conference has nothing to do with solving speciflcl world problems. Its job is merely to- create a United Nations organiza~a tion which will dea. with thest' problems in the future if they ara international problems. In purely domestic fights within the border6 of one country, the United Natiori4. organization will be obligated to' keep it's hands off. M
 All the loud and discordant noises heard in San Francisco today. however, merely indicate what to~ morrows trouble spots are going to. be and what problems they will pre- sent to the United aNtions organ- ization to solve, once that organ-s ization gets going.
 By far the loudest yellers at San Francisco are the patriots for Pal-.. estine. You can't blame them. The Jews have taken an awful beating in this war and there ought to be some place they could go to get away from 1t all. Yet the places where this Palestine question has, been raised in San Francisco are ut-s terly fantastic. Stettinius has been- bothered with it. and Bidault andi even T. V. Soong, though it is strictly none of the business Of the. governments of the United States, France or China and none of thea business of this Conference. But just try to get any Palestinian tol understand
 Next to Palestine, the question that comes up oftenest is the we'll known Polish dispute. As if the Big Four weren't having enough trouble settling this one, couple of rival factions Of Polish Americans are on hand to aid in the gumming-up. Rival British and nationalist India delegations tangle whenever they get chance and so do the pro- MihailoVich and pro-Tito Bora Serbs. Dr. Singman Rhee and Kill. 500 Hahn are here at the heads of rival Korean groups.
 A made-in- America Stop Franco~ movement headed by William IL Shirer and Freda Kirchwey is loh& oylng III over the lot to make SuraI fascist Spain doesn't sneak in the back door.
 Across the bay in Oakland. Phil Murray and Sidney Hillman of the ClO are holding their international labor convention, issuing handouts to complain that nobody is paying any attention to them Some place around is Bill Green Of the AT of L. complaining because nobody will listen to him complain about what CIO is doing.
 All these self-appointed martyrs will bleed you bucket of propa-i ganda on slightest provocation. Sometimes it seems as though theva do themselves and their causes n.oceH harm thar good by showing CT tceir| wounds and baWling in the T.oig places and at the wrong times.

The Day Of Victory AtLast

Iris here at Iost the day of victory It day of spon-
 toneous heartfelt rejoicing, of deveronce and pro- found thonktuness. It is also day of questioning and of stocktoking The celebration will pass and be for gotten The deIveronce will soon be taken for granted But the to the questioning and the result of the stock-toking still to be determined.
 What has been occompshed2 Europe has gained liberation and peoce America has come half way, per- hops the hardest ho in its fight for survival free and decent nation in free and decent world. The porolyz ing grip of Nozism has been broken.
 It has taken five years of struqqIe in the qreotest most terrible known to achieve this victory. They have been five bitter years of bood to tears and sweot Their cost has been staggering counted today in the millions of combotons and civilians who died for the victory celebrate today For years to come we shall count further cost in broken Ves families, prop ery end fortunes Some of these can be ebut others gone forever, like the monuments of earlier and prouder cultures than which have vanished in the wake of bottle and vandalism.
 AND for what has this price been pod? To curb the
 murderous ambitions of one man, a criminal poro- noioo permitted by nyopic world to hypnotze his try into frenzy approaching his own Never in history man more personally responsible for great than Adolf Hitler And never in history one so worthy of the sacrifices that he exocted. Yet these sacrifices have surpassed their cause in countless exam pies of tronscendent herosm which have now reached a triumphant climox
 The victory is certainly triumph of American strength and courage. American production and strategy and leadership Without them there could have been no victory But without me equo stren9Tn ana courage of Dunkrk and So|ingrod and Aomein, With- the hope and spirit of the patriots of all the occupied lands and of Britain in the desperate days of the btz, Europe would have survived to receive the American contribution that turned the tide.
 America has learned through her sacrifices thot she
 live in harmony with herself and in mutual friendli and understanding with other nations when the goal demands the effort Thot effort must be continued and increased toward the military victory still to be won over an enemy as cruel and ruthless the now fallen.
 But are the goals of freedom and prosperity and lasting peace any less desirable and demanding than the oooI of victory in wor9 Do military victories mean that we may now forget their lessons and return to sefish suspicion disuny and hatred at home and abroad? We were qven the to that question 20 years ago. and we did not heed If we and the other great oooin fail to heed then we shall be better than Adolf Hitler who sod deoth of millions in this war was merey an episode"

against discrimination written into
the historic Act of Chapultepec,
which is now urging that the Unit
ed Nations take action to kill Old
Jim Crow by outlawing him, as the
Nazi war criminals are outlawed
in this awakening new world.
Haiti's action is a sign that the
cOlored peoples of this universe
will no longer be content to serve
the lordly and fading imperialisms
of this age as hewers of wood and
drawers of water.

The age of Imperialism is over.

United Nations) must bring in its
train the liberation of all peoples"
The liberation of all peoples yes.
But we must have the machinery
for liberation as well as the blue
prints for liberation symbolized by
the draft treaty against discrimina-
ton presented by Haiti-that Ne
gro nation which is the oldest of the
20 Latin American republics.
We must have an international
security organization backed by
the major nations-America, Brit
ain, Russia, and China-if any in
ternatiOnal declaration against dis
elimination is to be worth more
than the Fifteenth Amendment in
Mississippi.
Argentina Bats the Hook
We cannot accept the proposition
backed by Nazi Argentina, now
posing as a democracy" that any
system of regional security organi-
cations can be a substitute for the
international organization planned
at Yalta by Roosevelt, Stain and
Churchill. To use an example, when
fire gets out of control in a
town, the folks fighting the blaze
don't mind calling in the firemen
from another town to help them.
Suppose that Argentina-with
its dream of an empire based upon
the enslavement of the Negro-In-
dian majority of this hemisphere
starts a fire that will blaze from
Patagonia to Florida? What would
