ARMY PAPER HITS
SCL0N'S REMARKS:

ROME, Jan. T. P Stars and
Stripes today criticized as 'un-
fortunate' congressman OBJ
servaton that most doughboys did
not favor a rotation system of
home leave.
The Army newspapers editorial
took issue with a statement made
by Rep. John E. Sheridan, Phila-
delphia Democrat, after he and
other members of the touring
House Military committee return
ed home.
(After recent address in Phila-
delphia Sheridan was quoted as
Saying:
c'The doughboys don't favor the
rotation system I'm which
troops are Withdrawn from COM
bat and brought home for rest
periods. Out of million and
half troops, l don't believe there
are 100 who want to come home
before their job is finished")
"a soldier can grow weary and
especially under the pressure Of
battle wish for relief" the edi-
torial said He will rot lie down
on the job, knowing the war and
all it means must be won. But at
the same time he will willingly
go home if the army can spare
him.
The soldier may not always be
his own best interpreter.
The editorial said the house
committee was able to make only
g.. hurried survey during its re-
cent tour of the battlefields but the
congressman were sincerely anxi-
GUS to take home an honest ac-
count of their travels"
Stars and Stripes suggested that
Sheridan possibly was misled in
mis- ideas because lin front of a
general and perhaps in front of
congressman the ordinary soldier
might develop a case of stage
fright"

PRAVDA ASSAlLS
AMERICAN PRESS

MOSCOW, Jan. 7. - (P) - Prav-
da denounced 'the reactionary
American press today as friends
and protectors of Hitlerites.'
The communist newspaper edl-
torial praised the Bulgarian trial
OF alleged war criminals and said:
MASSES of people in countries
liberated from the Hitlerites cla-
NOR for retribution. The Hitlerites
hope for indulgence through the
protection of their friends in de-
mocratic countries, SO they later
may prepare their own revenge.
They have friends and pro-
tectors indeed. Let's examine, for
instance, the way some American
newspapers used the Pope's
Christmas message.
The Pope's message was aim
ed to distract the minds of be-
levers from the vital question of
war and peace. The New York
World-Telegram offered an article
about the claims of the Pope
for fair peace and the guaran-
tee Of equal rights to defeated ma
tons and vanquishers.' The Wash
ington Evening Star attempted to
prove no permanent distinction
should be made between conquer
ors and conquered These news
papers as we'll as the New York
Sun swore that Pope Plus XII
is a determined protector Of de-
mocracy.
IF democracy means support of
a Fascist regime (Which is men
toned with indignation by many
American and British newspapers
the Pope is democrat.
The reacticnary American press
deduced well enough what the
Vatican meant by fair peace.
The Christmas message of the
Pope was used by pro-Fascist
elements to cloak vile actions of
H1tlerites under church authori-
ty."
Pravda also attacked the pub
Usher of the English Mazagine
Nineteenth Century" for an al
legged statement that the task
of Allied statesmen is to conclude
a victorious peace with Germany
before Europe is destroyed"

The Old, Old Story
Bv David Laurence
From the New York Herald Tribune.

From the New York Herald Tribune.
Paul Winkler notes that German au-
thors are already industriously laying
the foundations, incredible as it may
appear, for a new "war-guilt question"
For long time German propaganda
has harped ceaselessly on the fact that
1t was France and Britain who actually
declared war on Germany. tThat Ger
many declared war on Russia is an
obstinate circumstance explained away
In many fashions; that she declared war
on the United States is rarely, If ever,
mentioned.) Now the "incirclement"
theme is being trotted out and worked
feverishly in the Nazi propaganda. Ger
many may have robbed and slaughtered
her way through Europe but it was
never Germany who violated the moral
law" 1t was the others who wanted to
"incircler her. All the poor, peaceful
Nazis ever wanted to do was just to
rob and slaughter with impunity. Per-
haps it will still wash with the propa-
ganda ridden Germans. For the world
at large the record is there. indelibly,
just as Hitler so proudly wrote 1t. And
the world at large is not as soft-headed
as 1t used to be.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

That Big-Three agreement-the peace
of Munich-which ended in the extinc-
ton Of the Czechoslovak republic,
though there is still Czech" govern
ment in Prague, did not preclude other
alliances, as Dumbarton Oaks does not
Britain and France made an alliance
with Poland against aggressors. Ger
many also had long standing non-
aggression treaty with the same state
The Munich peace foundered on the
unwillingness of Poland to sacrifice
herself for the peace of the powers, and
the refusal of two Of them, Britain and
France, to coerce her
Germany, having concluded nom
aggression pact with Russia and, assum-
ing that the peace of Munich would
continue through unilateral decision,
or be restored after a fait accompli.
moved into Poland on mere punitive
expedition" whereupon the alliances.
after some Mortified hesitation, went
into play.
1t will be argued that none of the
present great powers has the aggressive
intentions of Hitler Germany But
prudent men do not draw contracts even
with their best friends on the assunp-
ton of no possibility Of default. And
there is nothing. as far as I can see, in
the Dumbarton Oaks plan, as such, to
prevent a repetition of this bitter ex-
perience.
The great powers are to be above all
law and subject to no compulsions.
Therefore the force" that is to be used
TO prevent aggression" can only be
used to coerce small states that might
threaten the peace of the powers. If
the great powers should agree on meas
ures to be taken against smaller states
these would be helpless, but if any one
OF the powers should seek to extend its
influence" over a small state. by force
or the threat of force, or. by interven-
tlons hitherto unpermissible under inter-
national law, nothing could stop that
power that would not at the same time
dissolve the world organization.
What is, in fact, proposed is not a
world order of law, but an organizationa]
instrument for continuing great-power
agreements. In our own times we have
seen where this can lead. It is the
prelude to the present war
Evening star., 1945-03-21

Lord Beveridge, of the famous "Bev-
eridge Plan" is by nature optimistic,
and by years old and wise. A few weeks
ago he expressed lack of optimism about
the Dumbarton Oaks plan, and stated
that he feared this form of world or
ganization and voting system might lead
us instead into the next war.
Lord Beveridge is not alone in his
hesitations There is also Comdr. Har-
old Stassen. But there has been little
candid discussion of the proposals, rais-
ing the critical questions Our intellec-
tual leaders-historians, publicists. in
ternational lawyers-seem afraid to
rock the boat" and are under pressure
to accept the plan in its present form
lest there should be no world peace -
Enduring peace is civilizations most
imperative need, and since the Dunn
barton Oaks proposals have become as
sociated in every mind with this hope,
to criticize them is seemingly to be-
tray peace.
Yet the scheme. as filled out at Yalta.
calls tors sober reflection, retrospec-
lively and prospectively..
Once: before three powers, after a Sc
ries Of meetings between the heads Of
states, presented to their peoples, de-
lrious with joy, plan for peace for
our times" Its thesis was that if the
three great European powers of that
day could agree never to 90 to war
against each other"-and they did
peace could be maintained indefinitely.
But this peace also rested on the
assumption that whereas great powers
should submit to no structures, smaller
states should be subject to compulsions
If their policies seemed to threaten the
peace OF the powers. That concept in
evitably involves the readiness of the
weak to renounce force in behalf of
those who will not, themselves, re-
nounce it.
Thus the powers delivered up Austria
to one of their number ito avoid war.
Thus the powers-avoiding "unilateral
ACKNOWLEDGMENT united pressure to
dismember the Czechoslovak state in
the interests of world peace" The
Runciman Commission had the task of
actually putting Czechoslovakia in the
role OF aggressor should she refuse to
accept the decision of the Big Three.
