On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

In his Navy Day address the President
pied for continued faith in just and
lasting peace and decried the skeptical
We must, indeed have faith. We must
also have that moral stamina" which,
as the President said, is as necessary
requirement for peace as for war. But
we must also have intellectual honesty.
1t Is no contribution to faith to reiterate
that "the world cannot afford to allow
the cooperative spirit of the Allies to
deteriorate. The world simply cannot
allow this to happen" For it is hap
pening; to deny that is not an act Of
faith but of blindness
1t is like refusing to recognize un-
democratic regimes in Eastern Europe.
What good does that do? We refused to
recognize the Japanese conquest Of Man
chukuo. The refusal contributed to the
deterioration Of our relations with
Japan, but did not change the status of
Manchukuo 1t was changed by war.
We are not, at this moment, heading
toward lasting peace. To have faith
that another catastrophe-the catas-
trophe of centuries-can be averted, is
an obligation upon all who have an
ounce of moral and intellectual stamina.
But to ask us to believe that the struc-
ture put together at San Francisco will
avert that catastrophe Is not to awaken
faith but to give us sleeping powder.
Faith may be "the substance Of things
hoped for; it is certainly, at this mo-
ment, "the evidence of things unseen. "
The struggle in Eastern Europe is not
primarily theological. 1t is increasingly
apparent that 1t is struggle for naked
power. 1t is no contribution to the solu-
ton of that struggle to enunciate the
doctrine of noninterference in the West
ern Hemisphere. The concomitant is
American non-interference in the East
ern Hemisphere, and that is the obvious
Russian reply.
But the world does not consist of two
halves The Eastern Hemisphere, en-
bracing Europe, Asia and Africa, con-
tains eight to nine tenths OF all the
people on this globe. and most OF the
land and resources. If it falls under the
domination Of single power, the Wes-
tern Hemisphere becomes just another
island. To prevent that was our basic
reason for waging this war.
If the power wrested from the Ger
mans and Japanese is handed, in large
part, not back to the peoples but to one
of the victors, we have lost, not the
peace but the war itself. If a victor
whose domains stretch to Vladivostok
controls Eastern Europe, from Stettin
to Trieste, she can dominate all Europe.

employees figure which greatly in
creased In subsequent years. The Nit
subishi banks initiated the irrelevant
marble and architectural wastes of great
American banks.
The past strength of these and other
family combines of Japan was incred-
ible. They developed on the outskirts
OF the 18th century worlds economy.
One reason for their advantage was
the fact that certain countries like
China could not be adequately served
with great varieties of products by
small or medium-size Occidental firms,
which were unable to have considerable
numbers of employees resident in the
receiving countries.
the United States and who visited Japan
in 1941, testif1es that the leading mem-
bers Of these business families were OPP
posed to war with u.s. They doubted
its successful outcome On the other
hand, they were interviewer with gov
ernment to such degree that they
could offer no effective opposition to
the militarists.
The United States, in order to see
that these enterprises serve no future
war preparations, will have trouble ef-
fectuating any change in their form or
organization which will not be pure
sham and deceit. It might be better to
keep them concentrated and turn over
top control to business and official ex-
ecutives of the United Nations. Our
concern is to use our power directly and
effectively to prevent the revival of war
making activity. not to reconstruct
Japan's forms Of economic life. That
such forms will rapidly change under q
politically democratic regime is certain.
But such changes should come from
within, If they are to be permanent,

This Changing World

tered the areas they were provided with
first-class equipment which either had
been taken from the Japanese or had
belonged to the Red armies
The concern expressed in Official
Washington quarters over this civil war
is caused by the fact that no one here
knows how far Moscow intends to go
In supporting its proteges In Yenan.
American forces-about 81 600 Ma
rines-haye taken over certain areas,
including the important city Of Tient-
sin. until it can be handed over to the
central government. This occupation
by American troops of certain portions
of China is in accordance with inter-
national agreements which have been
submitted to and approved by all the
other nations interested In the Far
East.
So far there have been only minor
incidents between the Marines and the
Chinese Communists, who arg reported
to be Itching for fight" But no one
knows whether the Communists Will
attack the Americans. Such an attack,
it is feared here, would have the most
serious repercussions.
The Yenan forces were not too friend
ly to the Americans when we were
helping the Chinese resist the jap
anese aggression. In some instances
they were helpful to American aviators
who landed in their territory. In others
they were unpleasant. Since the sur
render of the japanese the attitude
of Yenan has been definitely unfriendly,
and there was at least one instance
when an American officer was killed by
the Yenan soldiers. while those who
accompanied him were taken prisoner.
The matter was hushed up in Wash
ington in order to avoid an undesirable
friction.
The Communists, who until month
ago were ill-equipped, would not have
ventured to attack the Americans had
they not been advised to do so by their
own leaders. 1t is not excluded that
now that they have modern equipment
at their disposal they might decide to
attack organized American units. They
do not want to fight Americans, but
their political strategists believe major
incidents involving casualties on both
sides would force Washington to with
draw all its forces and equipment from
China, leaving Chang to his own de-
vices.
This Government is pledged to sup
port the legitimate government Of
China. Russia has pledged herself by
treaty to keep out of the internal af-
fairs of China. There are more definite
indications that she Is supporting the
Communists. If we yield to pressure
and withdraw our support from
Chungking the Communists will have
everything their own way.

Atomic SABOTAGE

The more the lethal possibilities
of the atomic bomb are explored,
the more disquieting do they appear.
Most of the discussion hitherto con-
Germs atomic attacks from without
in conjunction with the long-range
jet airplane, the even longer-range
stratospheric rocket and other dia-
bolic inventions of military science
as yet in the blueprint stage. This
'pushbutton" warfare, deadly and
difficult to counter as it may be, is
nevertheless merely perfecting of
traditional strategic and tactical
principles and practices.
More disquieting is the vastly
enhanced opportunity for attacks
from within, made by enemy agents
employing atomic bombs. In the
recent war we saw how our FBI
successfully foiled virtually all at
tempts to do damage, in refreshing
contrast to World War I, with its
record of the Black Tom Island blast
and other acts of major sabotage.
The problem of prevention in next
war promises to be infinitely more
difficult. Even the present atomic
bomb, bulky as it is reported to be,
could be disassembled and trans
ported piecemeal, hidden in ordinary
baggage, across the frontier to any
desired spot. Reassembled in some
obscure cellar located in the heart
of great city, 1t could be detonated
at will by time fuse, by electricity
or even by radio. and its detection
by instruments, while perhaps theo-
retically possible, would in practice
be far harder than ferreting out
secret short-wave radio sets. Such
bombs might be smuggled into a
country long before actual hostilities
by government meditating aggres-
sion or ruthlessly bent on providing
for any eventuality.
Indeed, the danger of atomic
sabotage need not necessarily be
confined to governmental action.
Especially as the knowledge Of
