This Changing World.
BY Constantine BrOtOn

The conversations between President
Truman and Prime Minister Attlee have
ended The entire precarious world
situation was canvassed by the two lead
ers and their advisers, but no final de-
cisions could be taken in the absence of
any definite indication of Russia's at
titude in the concert of powers. The
discussions between the two representa-
tives of the English-speaking nations
can be compared with a quartet in
which the bass was absent.
The question of atomic energy, the
political and economic situation in
Europe and the explosive situation in
Asia were all surveyed by the American
President and the British Premier. But
whatever solutions may have been de-
vised can be Of little avail until we have
word from Moscow whether the USSR
Is willing to consider and adopt our
constructive solutions.
The Russians have been diplomatic
cally static for several weeks. Secretary
of State Byrnes informed the American
people on Wednesday that this silence
had been broken by Foreign Commissar
Molotov in regard to one Of the main
stumbling blocks Of unity-the control
commission for Japan.
The Secretary of State and all the
other high officials who had been kept
posted about his new conciliatory
advances to Moscow were astonished to
discover that the foreign commissar had
reverted to the adamant position he had
adopted in London early in October.
X 4 X 4
The Russian note caused much COM
ment and speculation in high official
circles. It is known that at the con-
ference of foreign ministers Molotov
might have been induced to accept a
compromise but Stain, who was at that
time still in Moscow, had ordered him to
stick by his guns.
During the weeks which followed the
London breakdown, Washington pre-
sented a number of alternative sug-
gestions to the Russian government
All these were considered here as meet
ing fully the Russian policy regarding
Japan. They were so conciliatory that
the policy-framers of the State De-
partment were convinced that Russia
would not turn them down. This ex-
plains the optimistic statements from
the State Department that Russia
would resume its seat in the concert OF
powers Immediately

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

In my previous column spoke of the
flctions which are being disseminated as
substitute for policy by statesmen
speaking on the atomic bomb and the
future of scientific weapons in general.
1t Is amazing how they dismiss as i'm
possible control measures which, In
comparison with the fabulous genius of
mind which created the incredible mod
ern instruments of war, are child's play
Mr.. Attlee. for instance, has been quoted
as saying that he regarded as impracti-
cal the possibility OF any formal inter
national inspection, since it would in
volve the detailed investigative efforts
of thousands of top-f1ight scientists.
With all due respect to the British
Prime Minister. this seems as exagger-
ated at it would be to say that to inves-
tigate the accuracy of individual income
tax returns would involve the detailed
investigative effort of thousands of top
fight bankers. 1t doesn't take a top
flight scientist to find out what is going
on in factory. or where uranium ores,
ETC., are going. Any skilled worker
could be fitted for the job If formal
international inspection would not be
acceptable to one or another of the
great powers, the difficulties are not
bureaucratic but political.

The peoples of the world must know
where the difficulties really lie, and who
is responsible for them The peoples of
the whole world are peace-loving, ALL
without exception. No mother on earth
wants her son slaughtered on battle
field. or her children blown to bits in
a cellar. The peoples Of the world have
laid mandates on their governments to
stop war Every government gave a
solemn agreement in the form Of a
treaty. long before this war, not to
resort to war as an instrument OF
national policy" Every person who can

plemented, are useless,

where are ready for one world at the
cost Of their own way of life. After all,
Hitler was for one world, too-one world
of domination and tyranny. The people
want one world, free. cooperative, and
associative, with liberty and security for
all.
That one world can be created with
out the sacrifice of single sovereign
right except the one which was formally
renowned years ago - the sovereign
right to make war. And they are
awakening to the fact that the United

which expires in 1916. There can be
little doubt that, so far as Egypt
proper is concerned, Britain would
be disposed to relinquish its last pre-
negatives. However, the safeguard
ing Of British interests in the Suez
Canal poses a difficult problem,
while even more difficult is the ques-
ton of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan,
the immense region south of historic
Egypt, which is today governed by a
condominium. but which Egypt
claims in full sovereignty. 1t is un-
likely that the Suez and Sudanese
issues will be resolved in the imme-
date future. But Egyptian diplo-
macy is obviously bent on raising
them and pressing for solutions in
accordance with Egyptian aims.

lap Connivance in China
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

The present disturbed condition Of
China has political, social and economic
factors of infinite completely. But
there is simple military fact which
forms the basis for much Of the present
trouble.
That fact may be expressed thus: At
the very moment when the Chungking
government was, by reason OF the end
of the war and by the possession OF
considerable quantities of American war
material, on the point of being able to
establish itself firmly-by force or by
negotiation backed by force-as the
supreme government of China, the Chi
nese Communists came into possession
Of large quantities of Japanese weapons
and military supplies.
Thereupon, as they have done so
often before, they began to present new
demands to Chungking- in many
areas fighting of greater or less conse-
quence broke out. am not concerned
with trying to impute bad faith to the
Communists or to the Kuomintang gov
eminent at Chungking. So many charges
Of this sort have been banded back
and forth that 1t is impossible to win
now wheat from cfaff at this distance
from the scene.
But there seems no doubt whatever
that the Chinese Communists, finding
themselves in a position to hold their
own as a result Of acquiring the great
Japanese military depot at Kalgan and
other stores Of munitions from sur
rendering or departing japanese gar
risons, have determined not to permit
Nationalist occupation Of Manchuria
and of as much Of North China as they
can hold. In other words, there are
still two governments in China, one in
the north and one in the south. They
do not trust each other, and they are
both well armed.
Short Of miracle, bloody and pro-
tracted civil war in China now seems
Inevitable.
It Is hard to escape the conclusion
that the Japanese armed the Chinese
Communists with the deliberate inten-
ton OF bringing about such civil war.
As In Java and in Indo- China, the
Japanese Army tried to leave behind 1t

satisfaction and which would be
more or less like the Balkan occu-
patton commissions on which the
unanimity rule does not obtain. Now,
however, according to Mr.. Byrnes,
Moscow has returned to its original
insistence on the type of control in
effect in Germany. where no over all
action can be taken without the
prior approval of each Of the oc-
cupying powers.
AS Mr.. Byrnes makes clear in ex-
planning why we want no such ma
chinery in Tokyo. the Berlin veto
arrangement - which currently has
enabled France to block important
steps advocated in unison by Britain,
Russia and America - has created
more than few discouraging and
potentially very serious complica-
tions in the effort to establish an
effective joint control of Germany.
Certainly, in view of this experience,
it would seem the part of wisdom
to avoid the same sort of setup in
Japan, where an Allied unanimity
rule could easily lead to paralysis
of action in the critical months
ahead.
The American position, as defined
last August in a White House direc-
tive to General Macarthur, is that
we shall welcome and expect having
countries like China, Britain and
Russia send forces to participate in
the occupation, but those forces will
have to be under our sop command,
and though every effort will be
made, by consultation and by con-
stitution of appropriate advisory
bodies" to establish common AL
lied policy, our policies will govern
whenever there are differences. Con-
sidering how things have gone under
the unanimity rule in Germany, this
arrangement - though it possibly
could be modified somewhat in line
with proposals for a control council
operating on the basis of a majority
vote-seems altogether sensible for
the task in Japan and it is hard to
see why its general character should
not be retained, at least until the
most critical phase of occupation
has ended.
In the long-term sense, of course,
because of its political, economic and
geographical position in Asia, Russia
has a right to expect that 1t will
have large voice in formulating a
different arrangement. Meanwhile,
though, through the Far Eastern
Advisory Commission, from which it
has absented itself up to now, it
should be able to give ample protec-
ton to its interests. In any event,
General Macarthur appears to be
doing much too good job to justify
any drastic change in the setup at
this juncture.

or peaceful adjustments between the
peoples of East Asia and the peoples OF
the western world. They tried to win
the domination of East Asia for them
selves They failed to get it this time.
So they want strife, turmoil and blood
shed until, in the fullness of time, they
can reappear on the scene as the bring
ers of security and "co-prosperity" for
the common man. They hope that the
common man will by that time have
begun to look back on the days of their
rule almost as golden age. They hope
that he will be ready to accept chains
in order to have security.
Naturally nothing could suit the Japa-
nese better than to have the western
nations start taking sides in the Chi
nese civil strife. Probably the summit
of their hopes would be attained If we
Americans were to back Chungking
while the U. S. S. r. supported the Com
munists. Fortunately there seems no
present sign that the U. s. S. r. has
any such intention. Soviet troops In
execution of the terms Of the Sino-
Russian treaty, are pulling out of Man
churia very rapidly. The Communists,
being on the scene and having the weap-
ons the Japanese thoughtfully provided
them, are taking over.
The Communists hold the seaports
Except those under Russian treaty con-
troll at Dairen and Port Arthur and
they also hold the passes which control
the three railway lines and roads lead
ing from North China into Manchuria,
Of which the coastal routes through
ShanhaikWan are the most important.
It is beginning to look As though the
Communists have at least reasonable
chance to make good their grip on Man.
churia and to defend themselves there
even If they lose North China. The
almost total lack Of inland communica-
tions in the whole area north Of the
Yangtze River, due to the destruction
Of the railways and the shortage Of
motor transport and gasoline, Is ham,
pering the Chungking government, and
its attempts to move troops by sea are
successful only when We provide the
shipping for the purpose. The same
consideration applies to airborne move
ments.
Thus the hopes Of civil peace in China
have for the time being been shattered.

purchaser Kel1et Urged
To the Editor Of The Star:
The present administration, speaking
through MIR. Snyder, has indicated that
it might favor some form of price con-
troll with respect to new housing pro-
vided it was of practical nature In
line with this policy, Mr.. Bowles' pro-
posal for price ceilings on new homes
was rejected. As one of the inarticulate
millions of prospective home purchasers,
including countless veterans, who are
not as well organized as are the builders.
I take the liberty Of making a sug-
gestion worthy, in my view, of consid-
eration-which Is to grant the right to
any aggrieved purchaser of a new home
to bring suit within fixed period, say
one year, in the presently constituted
local rent control board having juris-
diction, for double indemnity with re-
spect to charges which Melted the
builder or seller profits in excess Of a
fixed liberal profit margin, viz, 10 to
20 per cent or the highest prevailing
profit margin In the locality under
consideration for the years 1885 to 1899,
whichever is the higher. In any such
proceeding, the burden of showing that
the profit margin was not in excess Of
that prescribed would rest with the
seller. The boards would be empowered
to dismiss frivolous complaints; and
appeal from the boards decisions to q
low court would be permitted.
