Russiu's Reich Zone

"The iron curtain" which the Rus
slams closed down between the outer
world and the zone of military occu-
patton in Germany assigned to them
under the inter Allied agreement
has at length been lifted to a Ger
tain extent. Under an exchange
plan recently negotiated between
General Eisenhower and Marshal
Zhukov at supreme headquarters in
Berlin, parties of American and Rus
sian newspaper correspondents are
to make reciprocal tours in each
others zones. And, in accordance
Herewith. a party of five American
journalists representing our chief
news agencies and leading papers
has just reported after making an
eight-day journey through the
southeastern section of the Russian
zone. embracing both the Prussian
province of Saxony and the federal
state formerly kingdom) by the
same name.
Taken together, this region, with
prewar population of about II ,000,-
600. presents a fair balance between
agriculture and highly diversified
industry. With the exception of
Dresden and a few other cities. it
was not badly bombed from the air
and most of it escaped becoming a
battle-ground in the last stages of
the war. It thus has less inherent
handicaps to recovery than more
war-shattered parts of the Reich.
One of the first points investigated
by our correspondents was how far
postwar recovery was being helped
or hindered by the Soviet authori-
ties.
On this point the report is dis
tinctly favorable. While dismantling
plants either primarily devoted to
war making or converted to such
uses, factories still making civilian
goods have been left and encouraged
to operate. The entire problem of
production, agricultural as well as
industrial, has been worked out by
the Russians according to a detailed
plan dictated from above; the result
being that the economic life is func-
tioning within the framework of a
tightly regulated system that is pro-
ducing material results faster than
in the American zone, though of
course there was more to work with
in the first place.
The indications are that the Rus
slams plan to occupy their zone for
long time and that they are favor
ing the local Communists to eventu-
ally take charge and run the show,
albeit for the moment there is little
actual communication. Denazifica-
ton has been thorough, though in
dividuals with Nazi background
may be retained in subordinate posts
where their services are deemed nec-

essary. Religion has not been in
terfered with, Russian general
making the cynical comment: "You
don't make guns in churches" Pri-
mary education has been revived,
under careful oversight and control.
OF course, it should be understood
that this was a tour personally
conducted" by Russian guides who
were present with the correspond
ents at all times. and that an eight
day motor trip could cover only the
high spots in an extensive region.
Yet the trip does dispel many wild
rumors of Russian excesses and
drastic industrial removals. The
Russian zone seems to be efficiently
run.

Christian leaders. The bread for the
communion was obtained from the
Americans. The Japanese had no
bread. Together these Christian lead
ers met in one of the few churches
left in bombed Tokyo for this COM
munion service. But yesterday their
respective countries were in mortal
combat with one another. Today
Christian leaders of both meet in
sacred service The first hymn they
sang together was "Blest be the tie
that binds our hearts in Christian
love. The fellowship of kindred
minds is like to that above" No eye
was dry. Around the table of the
Lord they met. What an houri What
a Christ!
In Stuttgart, Christian leaders of
America, France and Great Britain
meet with the Christian leaders of
Germany. And to these visiting
Christian leaders they say, eve are
all the more grateful for this visit
as we know ourselves to be with our
people in great company of suffer-
ing, but also in great solidarity of
guilt. With great pain do we say,
Through us has endless suffering
been brought to many peoples and
countries -. Now new beginning
is to be made in our churches

I'm that year" the accounts of
hunger and cold stirred the hearts of
the Americans. They organized as
only Americans do, and soon food,
clothing, money and medicine began
moving in tremendous quantities to
the areas of need. I'm that year"
hatreds and bitterness subsidized and
sympathy and understanding and
good will grew. I'm that year" the
world was in revolution, in moral
and spiritual crisis 1t was year of

In that year" the largest distribu-
ton of Bibles in the history of the
world. I'm that year" the World
Council of Churches caught a new
vision of the ecumenical church.
Out of the awful chaos of this year
We look ahead, not with easy opti-
mism, but with sober hopefulness.
God is our refuge and strength -
therefore will we not fear"

A National Need

Though 1t may be open to question
in some details, the national re-
sources legislation introduced re-
Gently by Senator Pat McCarran
constitutes a wise approach to a
major problem which this country
can no longer afford to neglect.
What have the demands of war done
to the actual and potential riches
in our good American earth? How
much OF our wealth has been drained
away in terms of such things as
minerals, agriculture and forestry?
And to what extent can the deple-
tion be offset by the development of
new techniques and policies?
These questions have a direct
bearing on the future well-being of
the Nation, but as matters stand no
one knows the answers because there
is no systematic effort being made
to determine them. This serious
deficiency has disturbed more than
few thoughtful AmericanS-in-
Guiding Bernard NJ Baruch who
sounded an impressive warning
against it only a few weeks ago
and it is the thing Senator McCar-
rams proposed legislation would seek
to eliminate by having Congress set
forth a declaration of basic policy
and objectives and establish a
Natural Resources Council to effec-
tuate the policy and pursue the
objectives.
The whole effort, as provided for
in the McCarran bill, would be de-
signed primarily to promote the
sound conservation and proper
utilization of the natural wealth of
our land. To this end, there would
be national inventory of all our
actual and potential resources, with
periodic revision to keep it up to
date, and there would be such other
projects as stockpiling of critical
or strategic materials, an annual
accounting of the rate of depletion,
and special estimates of our future
needs and of our capacity to meet
them. AS the agency in charge of
these undertakings, the council
which would report directly to Con-
greSS-would be made up of the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture, as ex officio
members, plus three members ap-
pointed by the President, one of
whom would be chairman.
The country is obviously in need
of some such agency as this. With
out it, more or less in the manner
of careless housekeepers, we shall
keep on making the mistake of
spending our substance pretty much
in the dark, never quite knowing
what we really have left or how
we can replace that which is gone.
Senator McCarran's bill, in its
essence at least, would put stop
to this improvident course, and
Congress, when it returns, ought
therefore to give it prompt attention.
Evening star., 1945-12-30

to implement the guarantees of
personal freedom promised its
people"
In other words, we are prepared
to make the best of Dictator Tito,
who is well thought of in Moscow
But it looks as though we may be
getting ready to crack down on
Dictator Franco, who is not at all
popular in Moscow or any other
place. Perhaps such a course could
be justified on grounds of expedi-
ency, but it could not be expected
to add anything to the prestige of
the United States.

necessity can occasion breach with any
of them. Under such a system. If we are
allowed to pursue it, the agricultural
and mechanical arts, the wealth and
population of these states will increase
with that degree of rapidity as to battle
all calculations and must surpaSs any
idea your lordship can hitherto have
entertained on the occasion" With the
communication was inclosed copy of a
plan "of new city. situated about the
center of the Union of these States,
which Is designed for the permanent seat
of the Government" The date of the
letter was April %, l793-three years in
advance of Washington's farewell decla-
ration of "abstention from entangle-
ment in European policy" in l796.
xxk
A brief report in The Star of December
%, 1895, said: "The Secretary of the
Navy estimates that

Constitution to rebuild the old
frigate Constitution
and provide her with modern battery"
He offered as an alternative a proposal
for putting the famous vessel "in good
state of preservation" at cost of
$230,000. The Secretary, advising
against attempting to rebuild the ship
for active service, nevertheless was In
terested in her sufiiciently to want her
stationed Eat Washington" Nearly half
century later, Franklin D. Roosevelt
also desired the Constitution tn the Po-
tomac as permanent attraction. Notfi-
ing, however, has been done conclusively
to detach the celebrated frigate from
Boston Harbor.

The Atom and UNO


In indirectly assuring Congress,
through Senator Vandenberg, that
the United States will reveal no Sc
cretS about the atomic bomb until
effective world safeguards are set up
against it, President Truman has
merely reaff1rmed what he said in
his joint statement last month with
Prime Ministers Attlee of Britain
and King of Canada. The reaffirma-
tion is timely. however, because it
clears the air of misgivings caused
in some quarters by the agreement
reached on this subject at the Bevin-
Molotov-Byrnes meeting in Moscow.
The Moscow communique, in de-
Scribing the key functions of the
projected United Nations Commits
sion for the Control of Atomic En-
ergy, used language exactly the
same as that used in the historic
Truman-Attlee-King statement. 1t
asserted that the commission, work.
ing "by separate stages" should
make specific proposals ID for the
international exchange of basic
scientific information, (2) for con-
troll of the harneSsed atom to insure
its use only for peaceful purposes,
CD for outlawing it as weapon, and
"a for effective safeguards by way
of inspection and other means" to
prevent violations and evasions of
the law outlawing it. But though it
thus repeated what the Truman
Attlee-King statement had said
earlier, the communique-probably
because its authors thought the
point implied-did not say. as the
statement had said, that no "Spe-
clalized information" would be re-
vealed until effective enforceable
safeguards against it's use for de-
structive purposes. can be devised"
Accordingly Senator Vandenberg,
Senator Austin and others, presum-
ably objecting to the fact that this
specific reservation was missing
from the Moscow agreement, asked
whether the omission meant that
secrets would be given out before a
full security system had been set up,
and made clear that if it did, they
would be strongly opposed to the
whole procedure. Happily their
doubts on this score have now been
dispelled by the President, for if
men like Senators Vandenberg and
Austin-good and influential friends
of international co-operation-stood
in opposition, Congress in general
would probably balk and the prob
lem of effecting genuine world con-
troll of the atom, difficult problem
at best, would be enormously COM
plicated
With the Presidents clarification,
however, there should be no signif-
cant American opposition to the
commission idea. In a long-term
sense, OF course, basic secrecy in this
field is impossible and every major
mower should be able to manufac-
ture the bomb, in one form or an
other. in the next decade or so. Yet
we. along with the British and Ca
nadians, do have certain all-impor-
tant and exclusive knowledge, and
prudence demands that we hold on
to it until we can be sure that the
most adequate security measures
have been taken internationally
After that, since even the best sys-
tenn OF inspection or other safe
guards cannot be an absolute guar
antee against the atom, the worlds
most urgent task will be to work
constantly as one world-through
the UNO-to prevent war.
