This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,On

The policy Of greater candor" sug-
gested by Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin as cure for present disagree
ments between the Big Three Is fully
indorsed in Washington official quar-
tiers.
Relationships between the English
speaking powers and their friends In
Western Europe on the one hand, and
the Soviet Union and her satellites in
Eastern Europe on the other have
reached new low which, 1t is admitted
in Official quarters, may completely
disrupt our efforts for lasting peace.
This government has even less than
the British to conceal from its Allies,
and has already laid all its cards on
the table. The American people want
peace. Demobilization of American land,
sea and air forces has been accomplished
with much greater speed than anywhere
else. Many top-ranking military men
consider that we already have reached
a danger point, where the voice of the
strongest power in the world may be
ignored because it will soon have Moth
ing but ideals to back it. And from the
present trends in the world ideals have
not yet replaced bayonets, tanks, battle
ships and bombers.
Officially, the administration is still
following policy based on the premise
that no further conflicts can be ex-
pected between the Allies who fought
the Axis shoulder to shoulder But those
who have access to the reports of our
observers abroad show an uneasiness
which seems to contradict their official
pronouncements.
The dispatches from Iran 1e alarm
ing, and the betting in official circles
Is about five to one that before the end
Of the year Iran will become as much
a Russian satellite as the Balkan and
the Eastern European states.
Equally alarming are dispatches from
Turkey. Russian Turkish relations are
highly unsatisfactory. Information from
Ankara and other vantage points indi-
Gates movement of troops and hasty
emergency" preparations.
1t may be said that both Turkey and
Iran hold only academic interest for the
United States. The chief concern over
the possibility of trouble in that area
is that both Iran and Turkey are full
fledged members of the United Nations,
and are involved in a dispute with a
member of the same family which has
the veto" advantage.
The situation in China Is far closer
to us than that in any other country.
American forces and supplies have not
been "sneaked" into that country. They
have been sent on the basis of definite
agreements with Chang Kai-shek's ad-
ministration. Russia, Great Britain and
all the other members of the United
Nations have been fully informed of our
actions and have approved them on

Facts to Face
By Rayn 0nd M0lev

President Truman will have lots of
trouble keeping hands off in the Cen
eral Motors strike. The magnitude of
this struggle, the resources and the
extreme commitments on both sides
point to a national situation Of such
gravity that only the Federal Govern
ment will be capable of dealing with it,
not to say Of settling it. Sooner or
later, MIR. Truman and his associates
will be deep in the picture, and all po-
litical calculations for the next year
will be affected by what results.
AS this column has pointed out re-
peatedly, an effort to differentiate among
industries as to the amount of wage in
creases to be favored will lead to a
jungle of tangled relationships. Mod
ern industry is so interrelated and Gen.
eral Motors is so big that what happens
will affect national industry as whole.
Moreover, the General Motors market
is so broad that vast numbers Of the
population will feel price increases. And
the people thus affected will include
almost all farmers and white-collar
workers-not too sympathetic to the
demands of rich union like the UAW.
The administration will be dealing with
economic and political principles which
may affect American life for years to
come.

What is more, an effort to generalize
wage increases will draw attention to
basic flaw in the UAW demand The
high average Of employment in manu-
featuring industries was not 48 hours.
1t was 45.6 hours in December, 1914, ac-
cording to the Manpower Commission
statistics. 1t was A hours last July.
This means that cut to 40 hours would
involve mush less than a 80 per cent
cut in wages. It should also be kept
in mind, when comparisons Of living
costs are involved, that In 1888 the
average weekly employment in repre-
sentative industries was 343 hours and
in 1899 it was 37.6 hours.
The pity OF the administration posi-
tion Is that, while 1t Is well aware Of

Christmas Seals

The time when the annual Christ
mas Seals required to be explained
surely has passed. A worldwide
public understands that they are
sold to raise money to fight a war
which has been going on for long
time and still is not won-the war
against the white plague. The
pennies paid for the cheerful little
labels make dollars to pay for
dozen varieties of service preventive
and curative in character. During
the past thirty-nine years millions
have been contributed and millions
more will be needed in the next
thirty-nine. A less painful way of
giving hardly could be conceived.
The Christmas Seals represent not
only an imperative philanthropy
but congenial one.
Staged on national scale, the
1945 sale provides also for local
activity in many different towns and
cities. In Metropolitan Washington,
the District of Columbia Tubercu-
losis Association is in charge of the
drive. The resultant funds will be
devoted to the maintenance of adult
and school health education, case
finding by group X-Ray surveys,
medical social work, rehabilitation,
research, exhibits and information
bureau services. Friends of the
effort who have not received sup
plies of the Christmas Seals from
headquarters may apply to 1901
Eighteenth street NV, Adams 7100.
And those who have been supplied
are asked to remit as promptly as
possible. It is hoped that the sue
cess of this years campaign will
exceed that of all previous occasions.

the political circumstances recited above,
1t seems to have no fixed position on the
more significant economic problems in
volved. But that is the way with all
pure political thinking, and this ad-
ministration is probably the most po-
ltically minded in history. Political
thinking deals with the shadows of
things, not things. It deals with the
complex and confused public thinking
about situations not with the situations
themselves.
In foreign affairs, for example, an
enormous number of facts must be mas
tered before we take our stand and
shape our policies. The public has
limited access to these facts. Great
Secretaries Of State and Presidents have
always moved ahead of public opinion,
and the people at large have taken their
opinions from these statesmen. But Mr..
Byrnes, despite his many fine qualities,
is waiting for signs from the public be-
fore forming his judgments and making
his commitments. To put an old say
ing in new way, he is keeping his ear
so close to the grass roots that he can
hear the beating Of q meadowmole's
heart.
Mr.. Truman cannot solve this labor
crisis by any political yardstick. It In
wolves economic facts and economic
statements. To illustrate this, 1t should
be pointed out that the essence Of the
JAWS demand that production costs
be given to the public will inevitably
tend to break down competition in the
greatest of competitive industries. Such
pooling of information as would be
involved would force mergers-in short,
force cartelization Of automobile pro-
duction through the force Of q union
which encompasses all the bigger COM
panies and their subsidiaries. This
single fact is one Of the many which
the President must face. And 1t can
not be examined through . political
telescope.

Spruunce and McNurney

AS General Eisenhower and Ad-
miral Nimitz move up to become
Army Chief of Staff and Chief of
Naval Operations, their former COM
mands are filled by two men so
admirably fitted for the promotion
that President Truman must have
found little difficulty in making up
his mind to choose them. Admiral
Spruance, because of his distin-
guished record as commander of the
mighty Fifth Fleet which fought so
brilliantly in the Pacific. probably is
better known to the American peo-
pie than General McNarney, but the
latter's background - though less
spectacular - equipS him outstand-
ingly for the discharge of the great
responsibilities he now assumes in
Europe.
A West Pointer and an air corps
veteran of the First World War,
General McNarney has a particu-
larly impressive record in the
administrative and policy making
field. In 1888 he entered the war
plans division of the general staff,
and thereafter, successfully, became
a member of the Joint Army and
Navy Planning Committee, the Per-
manent Joint Defense Board, the
Special Observers Group in London,
and the Roberts Commission inves-
tigating the Pearl Harbor disaster.
Then, in 1912. he was named deputy
chief of staff. the youngest in the
history of the Army, serving in that
capacity until he became acting
Allied supreme commander in the
Mediterranean early this year. Quite
clearly-not least of all because it
has included military diplomacy
his career has more than amply
qualified him to succeed General
Eisenhower as chief of United States
forces in Europe and of our occupa-
ton Army in Germany.
Similarly, in succeeding Admiral
Nimitz as commander in chief of the
Pacific Fleet. Admiral Spruance
takes over his new responsibilities
with a wealth of experience behind
him, including highly important ad-
ministrative experience. In many
ways, his problems will be not Sc
complex or difficult as General Nc
Narney's, but the shaping of our
postwar policy in the Pacific will
{ depend in no small measure on him
!. This will call not only for good naval

Protests Assistance Gu

To the Editor Of The Star:
What must it mean to old people, now
that the cost of living has continued to
increase, to have a cut of per cent
deducted from the miserable pittance
doled out to the unfortunate who have
to take the old-age assistance?
Because Congress fails to appropriate
sufficient funds for this vital need, the
Capital City of great Nation should
not deny care to persons needing it. It
is not the fault of the aged or those who
have lost earning capacity that there
are no dear ones to care for them.

the latter is indicated by his wise
counsel to Americans not to engage
In an indiscriminate and potentially
explosive program to absorb too
many bases overseas. Like General
McNarney, he certainly seems ex-
ceptionally well fitted for the task
before him.

our minds on the value of milk
from the nutrition health stand
point as we'll as the importance of
the dairy industry to the welfare of
our country.
The value of milk and milk pro-
ducts for calcium and vitamins is
generally we'll recognized now But
the importance of milk as a source
of excellent protein has perhaps
not been emphasized enough, says
Miss Pearl Macdonald. nutritiOnist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
However, with meat and even
chicken and eggs at present in
short supply. we need to realize
that the protein in milk the case
in or curd part of milk is one of
the best proteins available. Milk is
milder in flavor than meat and
fish. but the protein in milk does
just as good a job of keeping mus
Gle and other tissues in repair.
Milk can be used in many ways
to drink, with breakfast cereals
and in desserts. in yeast bread anC
quick breads. in cream of vegeta-
BILE soups. and in creamed vegeta
