gest that the Security Council OF the
United Nations Organization handle
the matter. II this does not suit Rus
sia's purpose, 1t can exercise its veto
power.
Britain is far more interested than
the United States In the Near and
Middle East, but Is not In position to
challenge Russia's wishes alone.
For the time being the question Of
Turkey yielding stable slice of her
territory to the Georgian republic
one of the 16 independent Soviet re-
publics'-is a matter between that
Russian subdivision and the, Ankara
government. But it is expected that
Moscow, which conducts the interna-
tional affairs of all the component parts
of the Soviet Union, will take it up
directly with Ankara.
Since We day the Soviet general staff
has regrouped its forces in Europe An
analysis of this regrouping indicates
Russias determination to settle the
Turkish question once and for all.
From all available information Mos
COW appears to want the question Of
the Dardanelles and the Bosporus set
tied in her favor, not only by mere
naturalization Of the straits, but by
obtaining air and naval bases in that
area.
Turkey appears to be boxed in mill
tarily by an overwhelming force which
has at its disposal the most modern
equipment such as radar, thousands of
airplanes and tremendous artillery while
the Turkish Army, estimated at about
l,000,0 900 men. is almost completely lack
ing IN aviation and other war equip
ment.
Yet, in spite OF this disproportion OF
forces. the Ankara government is said
to be determined to refuse her great
neighbours demands.

Whut the Evidence Says

President Truman, in his message
to Congress on unification of the
armed services. stated: Further
studies of the general problem would
serve no useful purpose. There is
enough evidence now at hand to
demonstrate beyond question the
need for a unified department. :"
The President evidently had in mind
the arguments, if not the evidence,
which have been made at the most
recent hearing on unification. APP
parently he did not include in his
generalization as to studies and
evidence the findings of all the vari-
Gus legislative and administrative
groups which have considered
merger proposals over the past two
decades. 1t is interesting and de-
cidedly pertinent, therefore, to re-
view this other evidence, as set
forth conveniently in the Eberstadt
report to Secretary OF the Navy
Forrestal. Here is the list:
Joint Congressional Committee,
1924-Against single department.
Morrow Board, 1925-Against single
department.
Lampert Committee of House, 1925
For single department.
Joint Committee on Duplication of
Effort of Army and Navy, 1882
Against single department.
House vote, 1932-Against single
department (153 to 1857.
Baker Board, 1934-Against single
department.
War Plans Division, War Depart
ment, 1938-Against single depart
ment.
Special Committee, Joint Chiefs of
Staff, 1945-For single department.
To summarize, of the seven dis
tinct studies made by legislative and
administrative bodies prior to the
special study last spring by COM
mittee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
all but one resulted in opposition to
the establishment of a single de-
partment Of national defense. The
Joint Chiefs of Staff committee di-
vided three to one on the question.
It has never been disclosed whether
the Joint Chiefs of Staff ever went
on record as approving or disap-
proving the report of the committee.
In view of this record and on the
basis of the findings by six of the
eight groups which have studied the
merger idea, it might equally well be
said that there is enough evidence
now at hand to demonstrate be-
yond question" the undesirability of
consolidating the War and Navy
Departments.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Congress finally has taken the bit in
its teeth and adopted a concurrent
resolution urging the United States to
use It's good offices with Britain-to
have Palestine opened to Jewish immi-
grafton, with the ultimate purpose of
"upbuilding Palestine as the Jewish
National Home"
The resolution has no force of law.
1t has. however, certain moral suasion
which its sponsors hope will prove eff
fective. After all, the wishes of the
American people, as expressed through
Congress, may have some influence with
the British government, provided, OF
course, the executive branch of our
Government is sufficiently impressive in
its requests
In this connection, it is not without
significance that the State Department
strongly resisted the adoption of reso-
luton by Congress dealing with the
Jews and Palestine earlier this year and
last year.
At that time the war was still on. It
was urged in some quarters that it
would be unwise to stir up the Arab
states in the Middle East by urging
free Jewish immigration into Palestine.
Now that peace has come, the British
still maintain that the wishes of the
Arab states and the Arabs in Palestine
must be given consideration, in order
that peace shall be maintained.
War or peace, from this point of view
the Jews get bad break Under the
agreements entered into after the
World War and under the old League
Of Nations, Britain has been the man.
date controlling Palestine for a quarter
Of century. When peace was. made
after the First World War, the British
joined with this country in declaring
> that Palestine should be made 4 ma
Honal home for the Jews /
Notwithstanding this pledge. the
British soon changed their attitude,
and Jewish immigration into that
country was reduced and finally prac-
tically eliminated.
The need for some solution Of the
Jewish problem is more pressing today
than 1t has ever been. Millions Of
Jews have been killed and have died
because Of oppression during the war
just closed.
Those who are left, perhapsstwo mil
lion and half in European and Nos
lem countries, have for the most part
been deprived Of their homes and their
property. They are living in misery
No door is open to them. Should efforts
be made by the victors in the, war to
have their property given back to the
Jews in all these lands, the chances

Chino Needs Truce

Timed to coincide with General
Marshalls arrival in China, the
Chinese Communist proposal for an
immediate unconditional truce with
Generalissimo Chiang's forces may
not be entirely devoid of propa-
ganda, but if any such arrangement
can be worked out, the danger of
full-Scale civil war will be percep-.
tibly lessened and the atmosphere
thus made more conducive to
peaceful settlement of the dissen-
sion now dividing the country.
Because the proposal was first
made in verbal form at a social
gathering in Chungking, spokesman
for the Chang government have
minimized its significance. Far from
knocking it down altogether, how
ever. they have suggested that it
might carry considerable weight if
presented formally in writing, and
the Communists apparently are
ready to meet this requirement.
There is thus some reason to hope
that physical clashes between the
two rival forces may soon be stopped
by agreement and that during the
armistice the Peoples Consultative
Council-which was formed after
Chang and the Communists reached
a limited accord last October and
which is supposed to represent all
Chinese political parties will be
able to effect compromise prevent
ing a resumption of serious strife.
Certainly, if a truce can be agreed
upon, General Marshall, as Ambas-
sador Hurley's successor. will be
greatly helped in his effort to pro-
mote unity in China along the lines
set forth by President Truman in his
recent statement on American policy
toward that sorely tried land. As
long as the Chinese are shooting at
each other there can be little
chance of their growing strong and
prosperous. On the other hand,
given an armistice, they would have
a calmer atmosphere in which to
seek a general agreement broaden
ing Chiang's one-party government
which has the backing of the
United Nations-so as to give ade-
quate representation to the Commu-
nists and lesser political groups.
AS matters stand, while the shoot
ing goes on and the gulf between the
rivals tends to grow wider, stability
in China is little more than dream
and the prospect of reconstructing
and revitalizing the country with

are another wave OF anti-Semitism
would arise-and more Jews would
suffer more.
Leaders among the Jews insist that
the only permanent solution of the
Jewish problem Is the establishment of
Jewish homeland, to which Jews may
go at all times. Not all of the leaders
agree just how this should be brought
about. But it is clear that if Palestine
Is to be Jewish homeland, it must
eventually become commonwealth in
which Jews will be in the majority.
At present there are 600, 900 Jews in
Palestine and 100000 Arabs. The
Arab population has increased in the
last quarter century from $4,000 to
its present figure, partly through Arab
immigration and partly through nat
ural increase.
The Jews con end that the lot of
the Arabs in Palestine has improved
because of the increase of the Jewish
population and the improvement of
the country due to Jewish agriculture
and industry. They say that If $780,
600 more Jews entered Palestine-the
number they estimate would go there
If the British let the immigration bars
down-there would still be plenty of
room for the Arab population, and that
there would not be conflict between the
races.
The main thing, they say is to give
this ancient homeland back to the Jews.
It would provide, first Of all, for the
hundreds of thousands Of homeless
Jews now In concentration camps or
wandering in search Of q place to live.
Itewould put an end to the Jewish prob
lem, which has played Its part in
stirring up war in the past. Sse 20
! Several factors enter the picture,
however, which are not encouraging.
The British apparently are DESTROYS Of
maintaining strong military base in
Palestine-a Middle Eastern base-and
do not wish to give up control. Some
Americans, and they include officials
Of the Government, are pursuaded that
il We are to have oil concessions III
the Arab states we cannot afford to
offend the Arabs by insisting Palestine
become Jewish national homeland.
President Truman has, in conjunc-
tion with the British, appointed COM
mission to study the Palestine problem.
He has been asking the British to per-
NIT the entry of 100000 more Jews
into Palestine-a mere drop in the
bucket. Unless some steps are taken,
the Jewish problem is likely to be
solved In a tragic way.

Alternate Defense Plan URGED
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

President makes is In the matter of the
relationship of civilian secretaries to
the existing departments. "On many
fundamental issues" he says the Sec
retaries are cast In the role of partisans
of their respective services, and real
civilian control can be exercised by no
one except the President or the Con-
gress"
But Mr.. Truman assumes the inevi-
liability Of conflicting views He takes
the same view of the future of the joint
chiefs of staff unless they are put under
an overall military boss: "As national
defense appropriations grow tighter, and
conflicting interests make themselves
felt in major issues of policy and STRAIT
egg, unanimous agreements will become
more difficult to reach"
There Is force to this argument, but
there is not necessarily equal force to
the only solution which the President
has to offer; namely, giving one. man
the power of final decision.
The British method of meeting this
difdculty is to lay upon the three chiefs
of staff, by law, two distinct responsible
ties: ID to advise their respective Sec
retaries on matters pertaining to their
own services; CD to give collective adj
vice to the government, through the
committee of imperial defense, on the
broader aspects of military policy.
Remember, the legal position and re-
sponsibility Of our joint chiefs of staff
have never been defined, not even by
executive order. This writer, for one, is
not at all prepared to accept the view
that American officers of high rank,
and American cabinet officials, would
be unmindful Of their lawful response
bilities, once these are defined as in
GLIDING the reaching of agreements on
matters Of broad military policy.
It seems altogether likely, again on
the basis Of experience, that decisions
SO reached will on the average and over
the long pull be Of higher quality and
more nearly take into account all the
factors involved than decisions to be
made by any one man. At any rate, the
basic conception Of a national security
council Is something we need anyway,
and SO Is the repatriation of the posi-
ton and duties Of the joint chiefs OF
staff Congress might do well to ,ex-
plore the idea of trying these two ideas
first and finding out from experience
whether they will meet our needs or
not.
This can be done without prejudice to
establishing unified department later
on, II the system Of coordination fails
to produce satisfactory results. On the
other hand, only the utmost waste and
confusion could result from an attempt
to unscramble unified department
once that has been established
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-22

The Presidents message on unit1ca-
ton of the armed forces is q piece of
special pleading. 1t makes a strong
case for unification. But it does not,
as it should. give adequate consid-
Grafton to alternative proposals. 1t does
not meet many of the objections that
have been offered to unification.
AS The Washington Evening Star OBJ
serves editorially, the President presents
a case which Congress should consider
long and thoroughly in an atmosphere
devoid of partisanship and emotion"
but as the ST. Paul Pioneer Press OBJ
serves, Congress should not forget 1.-THE
desirability of a thorough exploration
of the alternatives"
The President does not, for example,
deal with the historical argument at
all. He does not mention the fact that
all previous experience with unification
message presents an unbroken history
Of failure.
The President lays great emphasis on
the need for keeping our foreign and
military policies in due balance. He
says, with force and point: "Our mill
tary policy and program are only a
part of total national program aimed
at achieving our national detectives OF
security and peace. - Our military
policy, for example, should be COM
pletely consistent with our foreign pol
icy. It should be designed to support
and reflect our commitments to the
United Nations Organization. It should
be adjusted according to the success or
lack Of success of our diplomacy. It
should reflect our fullest knowledge Of
the capabilities and intentions of other
powers. Likewise, our. foreign policy
should take into account our military
capabilities and the strategic power Of
our armed forces"
~
This is basic need for which this
column has argued long time. We
never have had the proper machinery
for maintaining q just balance between
our military and our foreign policies,
and 1t is lack which must be filled;
but the President makes no other sug-
gestion as to how to fill it save to say
that it would be easier for other depart
ments and agencies to get the military
viewpoint in capsule form from one
secretary rather than, as at present,
having to consult two.
The President makes no mention at
all OF the Forrestal -Eberstadt proposal
for q National Security Council, to con-
sist of the Secretaries Of State, War
Navy and Air, with the joint chiefs of
stan as an advisory body. Such an or
ganization might well provide all needed
as keeping military and foreign policy
