Letters to The Star
Pleads for More Trust in Leaders
Seeking Security Agreements

To the Editor Of The star:
Why all this excitement and uproar
about Yalta?
Has 1t not long been evident that
serious differences OF views between the
great powers have had to be adjusted?
Is 1t not clear that such complicated
and delicate diplomatic negotiations
cannot be conducted in the market
place?
Surely, never were statesmen con-
fronted with more difficult and dam
gerous contentious than at this time
OF the crisis of civilization.
Surely, we owe every generous con-
sideration to Roosevelt, Churchill and
Stain in their efforts to adjust these
serious differences and to prepare the
ground for the success Of the San
Francisco Conference.
The physical and nervous strain i'm
posed on these men in the midst of q
stupendous war by their conferences at
Teheran, Cairo, Moscow and Yalta has
been extreme. 1t is wonder that
President Roosevelt has been able to
stand up to this relentless strain so
Secretary Hull with selfless devotion
and heroism was unable to endure it.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that Secre-
tary Stettinius may be enabled to carry
on successfully in the face of the vio-
lent and intemperate barrage of news
paper criticism and questionings which
amount virtually to a hostile inquisi-
ton.
Surely, this Is a time for patriotic
self-restraint and generous considera-
ton on the part of the American public.
Surely, we have no desire to embar-
rass our responsible leaders up on the
bridge of the ship of state during this
international hurricane.
Surely. we have no desire by word or
act to wreck any architectural plans for
world peace and security.
Surely, we desire the success of the
San Francisco Conference.
What justification, therefore, can
there be for this general assault by
editors, journalists and commentators
on the negotiations now going on be-
tween Roosevelt, Churchill and Stain
Have they not by and large deserved
oux admiration for their conduct OF the
war and their labors for peace?
Must the conscientious preparatory
negotiations of Dumbarton Oaks and
Yalta be undone in order to satisfy
demands for full information concern
ing efforts aimed to forestan dangerous
disagreements and antagonisms?
Good sense as well as fair play surely
requires of us all that we should con-
tinue to repose generous confidence In
our leaders. who thus far have brought
us well along the road to international
safety.
Let us have an end to iu-considered
and ungenerous criticism. Never did
we need genuine unity among the
United Nations more desperately than
at this moment in order that the San
Francisco Conference should not be
wrecked in advance and all hope for
world security abandoned.
PHILIP MARSHALL BROWN.
Evening star., 1945-04-05
A Necessary Distinction

DR.. Philip Marshall Browns good
letter, printed elsewhere on this
page today, is timely warning
against giving way to cynical doubt
in connection with the Yalta and
other understandings. Such tend
ency can easily prejudice, the San
Francisco Conference by creating an
antagonistic public sentiment in
America.
It is true that the element of the
American press which is hostile to
the principle of international col
laboration, hostile to Great Britain
or hostile to Soviet Russia, seizes
avidly on every opportunity to dis
credit the good faith and the mo-
tives of our own and the Allied
leaders to an extent which indicates
a deliberate intent to wreck any ef-
fort which does not conform to the
particular philosophy of the critics.
Yet it seems to The Star that DR..
Brown and others for whom he
speaks should draw a precise dis
tinction. in their generalized refer
enceS to editors, journalists and
commentators, between an obvious
ly hostile approach and the plain
duty of responsible publicists to
bring to public attention facts which
demand frank explanation. Espe-
cially is this true of facts deliberately
withheld from the American people.
The constituted authorities in
Government who seek to forward
their laudable efforts by creating an
impression in the public mind of
unanimity and accord, when this
impression is disputed by the unoffi-
cial revelation of stark fact, can
endanger the success of the San
Francisco and other such confer
ences even more than those who
deliberately and openly practice
their sabotage.
1t goes without saying that intel
ligent Americans have some appre-
citation of the enormous RESPONSE
bility of the President as we'll as the
difficulties which he and his ad-
visers must overcome in their at
tempt to reach a workable under
standing with Russia. We have our
own conceptions in this country of
some of the ideals which underlie
international accord and justice and
they do not always conform to those
held by the Russians. One nation
is democracy while another is a
dictatorship. One has been blessed
throughout its history with relative
peace and plenty. The other has
undergone in recent times one of
those internal convulsions which oc-
casionally change the course of hu-
man events. One has enjoyed COM
parative security in this war. The
other has been invaded and ravaged
by ruthless foe.
These things are not beyond the
comprehension of most Americans
and there is no reason why they
should believe that the course to
perfect understanding is a smooth
one. But without accepting the
theory that diplomatic negotiations
can be conducted successfully in a
goldfish bowl, it still remains
that the safest and the best policy
to pursue, in the long run, is one
which enables the public to under
stand the nature of the differences
between the Allies in their approach
to common problem instead of
minimizing the fact that there are
differences.
For one policy leads to the creation
of an intelligent and discriminating
public opinion. The other leads
eventually to inevitable disillusion-
ment. far more dangerous and in
sidious in it's effects than the open
ly hostile attacks of critics.

Two Duties
From the Victoria Times:

From The Vlct0rla THINGS.
Unquestionably Canada has big task
before It in providing for peace and
security within the Dominion. And the
nation still has big Job on It's hands in
helping to win this war. But despite the
pressure those obligations impose, it
cannot afford to withhold any assist
ance toward strengthening international
organization to protect the peace OF the
future.

Local football fans are just about
assured of seeing one Of the best
football games in the history of the
annual Phyllis Wheatley-Hallie Q.
Brown classics, Sunday, 200 p. m.
at Central Stadium, st. Paul.
We, personally, believe that this
will be one of the best games of
the classic because, never before has
either the Halle or the Wheatley
had so many good" boys on their
squads. The Halle with its two
great ends, White and Zachary, will
have two of the best wingmen in the
st. Paul high school conference.
Paul Ray and Gene Goss have been
outstanding in this years high
school ball. Melvin Goss, young
brother of Gene, has been going
great guns, in the back field, al
though only a freshman. Then there
is good old Dan Taylor, "Budha"
to most of US, he is called, "Budha"
(pardon us). Sergeant Taylor was
just discharged from the Armed
Forces. "Budha" says he is in great
and ready to go; who knows, per-
haps he is.
Phyllis Wheatley with the great
Glen Pullens, winner of the high
scoring position in the Minneapolis
high school conference, with 60
points will naturally spark the
Wheatley backfeld. He will be
supported by the Bowman broth
ers, who have been running wild for
Manchester college. There is a
strong possibility that Alva Tabor
of the University of Minnesota
squad may play and also big Jim
Brown of championship Roosevelt's
team, may play. Yes, dear folks,
these are "good" boys, when it
comes to that pigskin. This year
