Dr. Nicholas M. Buffers Last
Commencement

When Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler awarded 3,405 degrees in course and 26O diplomas and certificates at the 191st commencement Tuesday the occasion marked his last graduation as active pres ident of Columbia University. He becomes President Emeritus on October l, and ln dropping out of his active office he will still remain before the public as one Of our great educators.
 Dr. Butler has completed forty-three years in office, and perhaps no college or university head has had the prestige that he enjoyed. Few educators have had his clarity of vision, his fortnight views on the education of young men,
 Dr. Butler has always had wide popu- larity His opinions on education as well as other matters have always had the re- spect of all The commencement this week had naval setting, the procedure having the usual academic pomp. Dr. Butler at eighty-three years of age de- livered his customary timely commence ment address, stressing the fact that all independent nations, great and small should have part in the restoration to world order in which international CO., operation is most vital.

Lifting the Lid

Tremendous amounts of carbon steel will be available in a few weeks for the manufacture of cars and railroad ma terials, street cars, trolley coaches and buSSeS.
 Thirteen per cent more lumber will be available for civilian purposes. The lid will be lifted on farm machinery on July l, and that is one of the best pieces of news in all the steps of reconversion, be- cause farmers have been modernizing their farms during recent years in re- placing the shovel, fork, hoe and rake with first-class tractors and other neces- sary machinery. Then along came the war and with it there disappeared the power of farm machinery, as well as the man-power.
 Mechanical refrigerators, sewing ma chimes, electric irons and washing ma chimes are also very much in demand and there will be an increased allow ance.
 The official statements indicate that it may take eight months for producers to get under way to reach efficient produc- tion of automobiles. One responsible pre- diction is that it will take fifteen months before automobile producers reach the pre-war capacity of around six million autos year.

Flying Ambassador

President Truman's impressive bat ting average since taking office seems to have been boosted another notch by his nomination of William D. PaWley to be Ambassador to Peru. MT. PaWley is pi- oneer in commercial aviation, specializ~ ing in the foreign field.
 Probably his most colorful exploit was organizing the famous Flying Tigers group of American volunteers in China. But he also was instrumental in starting the first airplane factories in China and India, recognizing China's first air line, and forming Cubas first commercial avi- ation company.
 The mutual feeling of good neighbor- Illness between this country and the South American republics will surely be imple- mented after the war by great increase in air traffic between the two countries. MT. Pawley, with an impressive record in aviation development, seems to be equipped to perform an important and practical service for his country in his first diplomatic assignment.

young men, many of whom have been away from American soil for two or three years. They dream of Saturday night Strolls, looking the girls over, coke at the drug store on the corner, neon signs, the familiar brand names on products in shop windows
 Many of them will be back home soon, if only fol visit on their way to finish the job in the Pacific. They will wipe from the face of the earth a philosophy that aimed at the destruction of liberties dear to all Americans. They have proved that free men of free republic, backed by the resources of free industrial system, can overcome the massed might of nations in which the state was all-important and the citizen mere cipher. They will clinch that proof against Japan, and they expect to come back to an America of which Main Street, with all that it implies in our life and in the familiar aspects of our industrial system, will still be the symbol.

Syria and San Francisco

The deplorabe Syrian incident" of- fered an object lesson to the UNCIO del egates trying to solve the equally deplor- able veto dilemma at San Francisco. Here was a made-to-order illustration of how the United Nations organization would have met a crisis under the Dumbarton Oaks proposals and the subsequent Yalta agreement on the veto.
 Under the proposed charter, France could have fought on in the Middle East until every Syrian and LebaneSe was killed, if the French government so de- sired For France would have been able to forestall any interference by the or ganization through her veto power as one of the Big Five.
 The entrance of British troops into the Levant states, which halted the fight ing, would have been impossible. Such an independent act would have been branded by France as an act of aggres- sion. Britain then would have vetoed any fOrcible action against herself in the un- likely event that it was threatened.
 The unacceptable result would be that either the United Nations organization would lapse into state of impotence, as the League of Nations did after the Man
 
 it would disintegrate completely And the stage would be set for World War IT, It is unhappily evident that the present so- lution of this Middle Eastern crisis though achieved by old, unsatisfactory and potentially dangerous means, is in- finitely better than would have been pos Sible under the charter with it's Big Five veto power. The only hope for success of the United Nations organization, as pres ently constituted, rests upon the respon- sibility as well as the strength of the Big Five. Yet France has shown herself neither right nor responsible in this in- stance. The United States and Great Britain have rebuked France sharply. But at the same time, they have pre- sented a common front with France, Rus sia and China in support of veto pro- posal which would permit any one of the five to conduct similar acts of aggression without fear of retaliation.
 The great weakness of the Soviet-Spon- Sored veto system is that it confuSeS monopoly of power with a monopoly of wisdom and virtue. It argues that the Big Five are the only countries strong enough to safeguard world peace, with out admitting the obvious corollary that they are the only ones strong enough to start world war. It may be that the San tranclSco conference must accept the charter with this veto proposal i1- order tc get anything. But the small powers should insist, and the big powers should recognize, that the only hope of real Suc- cess lies in an untrammeled opportunity for the charters further revision on the oasis of sovereign equality of the United Nations
