that $500 losses must be replaced

ask none in June.
Men over AZ and retired enlisted
men and officers will, however, get
a chance for discharge or release

In short, the Navy has no plans
for wholesale discharge or release
to inactive duty of either officers
or enlisted men. There are approx
imately $500 retired enlisted men
on active duty who will be eligible
for release over ~ who may seek
release.

The Navy will need just as many

TODAY and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN-

wars have a different standing. II
this is what he means, he is, l
believe, making the mistake,
which could easily prove fatal, Of
asking the work organization to
become the peace conference to
settle this war.
The true view, I submit, is that
the acts Of the peace conferences
which will settle this war have
the same standing before the
world organization as the acts Of
all the other peace conferences of
the past which have fixed all the
other frontiers in the world.
Does that mean that the world
organization is a device for treez.
ing all frontiers, that it 2urarn-
tees the status quo, and that every
thing is irrevocable and nchanee-
able? Not at all. Chapter VIII of
the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
say that the security council
should be empowered to investi-
gate any dispute or any situation,
which may lead to international
friction or give rise to a dispute,
in order to determine whether it's
continuance is likely to enganger
the maintenance of International
peace and security" 1t goes on to
say that "any state, whether men,
Der of the organization or not, may
bring any such dispute or situation
to the attention of the general as
sembly or of the security council"
Under the voting formula agreed
to at Yalta, no interested party
can veto such an investigation.
Here then is the provision for
revision and review" 1t can be
set in operation by Poland, if the
Polish government finds her from
tier cause Of international frlc-
ton. or by any other state which
believes that there is an Injustice
which could lead to international
friction. Under this arrangement
the world organization will not take
the responsibility of fixing the Poi
ish frontier. That is the task of
the reace-makers. But as the
peace-keeper it will have the duty
of investigating the frontier when
it has been fixed by treaty and of
seel ing a peaceab'e solution if in
is judgment there IS a situation
which may lead to international
fric,lcn.'
The distinction between peace
making and peace-keeping is pri-
mary, and marks the greatest ad-
vance we have achieved over the
old League Of Nations. For if once
we drift into thinking of the world
organization as the super-peace
conference of this particular war,
we shall not be founding a true
and lasting international society.
There will be no place in it for the
neutrals, and none for our pres
ent enemies. 1t will be simply one
more pact for enforcing this set
