and united China. This might seem to make our interests somewhat less immediate and realistic than those of others, but it should be remem- bered that major cause in the war in the Pacific was our refusal to let a powerful nation have free hand in China.
 It seems clear that the political problems of the Orient-even with out bringing up the much discussed subject of the Chinese Communists may turn out to be even more grave than the military problems. The professed aims of all the na- tions concerned, however, are peace and prosperity in Asia, not only for the benefit of the Asiatics but for the political and economic health or the world. If this similarity of de- sires can be translated into agree- ment on action. the benefits can be magnificent. If it cannot, there ls trouble ahead. It is thus Of the highest consequence that represent ativeS of the great powers of the world strive to achieve and to maln" tain a unity of purpose in Asia.

Preferred Captors

Nazi strategy in the closing days of belligerency seems to have clarified itself: the government" under Admiral Doenitz was stalling to permit German troops to surrender to the Anglo-Americans before they were captured by the Russians.
 This is proving embarrassing to us. The British and Americans were obli- gated to share captives 50-50, whoever took them, but the British say their fa- cilities are packed-so can't we please keep more than half?
 What we keep we have to feed. Is there still an unused notch in your belt?

It is very unreasonable to say that the Office of Price Administration should be exempted from criticism. That is i'm possible. Price Administrator Chester Bowles failed to express public opinion in his statement that when we look at the whole record, I think that the price con- trol and stabilization program has been one of the most remarkable achievements of this war" The general public dis agrees, and has very little praise for the BOWleS organization.

believe that some types of evil in the world can be halted only by severity. The Israelites were in structed to eXterminate people who had corrupt religious and moral practices. The face that the Israeli ites did not exterminate them later proved the undoing of their nation.

U. s. Consultants Win Big Point
By PETER EDISON Waterbury DcmOcrat-NEA Wash ingtOn Correspondent

San Francisco. May 21 - Real story behind Secretary of State Ed ward R. Stettinius's announcement supporting the inclusion in the Uni ted Nations Charter of four amend ments for the protection of human rights is that these provisions were insisted upon by group of over 100 unofficial U. s. "consultants, 7"

None of these are basically im- portant in American eyes, but to the Orientally minded Russians, always suspicious and made more 50 by long years of diplomatic nubpn9, they are exaggerated out oI proportion and become very serious.
 Before the San Francisco Con-
 ference opened for instance,
 Foreign Minister Molotov took up in Washington the question
 of rotating the chairmanship among the Big Four inviting countries. Lord Halifax at that time proposed compromise and it was presumed this would be adopted.
 Other delegates were amazed, therefore, when Secretary Stet- tinius permitted the Mexican Foreign Minister to propose Stet- tIniuS' name as full-Jime chairman of the Conference instead of TO- tating the chairmanship Molo- tov, not understanding English did not realize what was hap pening and StetJinius was Ylr- tually elected when MoIotov rose to reiterate his point made earlier in Washington.
 Later, Sen. Vandenbcrg leaked to ncWsmen what happened at the secret session, giving a dis
 tortcd version to the effect that Molotov was trying to sabotage the Conference.
 The Russians get awfully stub born when they think you are trying to doublecrosS them, even on little things. And if our handsome young Secretary of State had put the quietus on his own vanity and gracIouSiy offered at the start to share the dull, routine job of yielding the gavel before the delegates (and news photographers there is no telling what headaches iL might have saved us in other places.
 lnustead, the Russians got the idea that we were out to put their man on the sidelines at the very start, and this impress sion continued especially when Stettinius refused to per- init even a four-day delay on the admission of Argentina.
 NOTE-Att he Breton Woods Conference. where the Russians finally agreed 100 per cent, they asked for various delays of three and four days to consult Mos cow But after these delays, they always came through in the end. PETTY NEEDLING
 Personal pettineSs has featured much of our recent relationship with Russia. The Russians, for instance, have never quite forgotten Chief of Staff Mar shall press conference when he predicted the fall Of Moscow in six weeks. General Marshall was only taking the word of his Mill tary Intelligence, and is not anti Russian. But Red Army Gen. erals never forgot it.
 Later the War Department made the mistake of yanking Gen. Philip Faymonville, the only U. s. military man whom the Rus sians liked and who spoke the language, out of Moscow, replec- ing him with an anti-Russian friend of General Marshall's, Gen. John R. Deane. Russian officials considered especially significant the fact that General Faymonville. their friends, was reduced in rank to Colonel.
 Somewhat more seroius has been the petty needing of State Department officials. In the first place, the top adviser to Stet- tinius is Leo PasvOlsky, last sec

colcred ball players a chance to
make their teams by tryouts.
Only four members of the

ure, the Councillor from Ward

There was much debate on the

fight for the colored baseball
players but was defeated. The
four were outyoted by the other
