Could Be This Way

| Public attention has centered to an extra
ordinary extent upon the United Nations Sc
curitv conference scheduled to open at San
Francisco on April Is, especially as that Is
the day when Russia's agreement "'n japan
will expire.
Not onlv the easy chair gentry but some
men in high position well versed IN mterna-
tional trends. are convinced that Moscow VIII
refuse to renew this treaty-wlA, instead use
the conference as the occasion 1or annouhc-
ing its abrogation and openly JOIN her Anglo
American allies in their war against the Jap
anese Their position is that Russia, having
brought the European war to successnl
termination on the Eastern front, and unaole
to enforce her will upon the European enc
my until the Oriental foe is subdued, VIII
not only open her Asiatc bases for use OF
her allies but also employ her Siberian land
forces against the Japanese in Manchukue
thus pinning them down in the far north and
preventing their transfer into China where
the Americans with some British help will
be engaged in finishing off and bringing an
end to the yellow peril in the Pacific. Moscow
may indeed have something of this sort in
mind as the means of increasing Russian pow
er in the Far East, but naturally is maintain
ing the strictest silence upon it.
What is of equal, if not greater interest in
this country is that the San Francisco confer
ence may reveal the next presidential candi-
date of the Republican party who possesses
qualities Of true leadership and even now
ranks high in the esteem of many Americans
Commander Harold e. Stassen of the United
States Navy and former governor of Minneso-
ta Mindful of the vicious and foolhardy at
tacks of Governor Dewey of New York, his
largest opponent in national political cam
paien, and possessing more than average vim
dictiveness, President Roosevelt may have
selected Commander Stassen for membership
IN the United States delegation to San Fran
cisco to give him opportunity to tear down
what remains of Deweys influence as titular
head of the opposition party.
Since Mr.. Roosevelt is not likely to name
himself or any other Democrat for the pres.
idency in 194S it would be a feather in his
cap if he were able to start Republican can
didate on the road to victory. Stassen's trip
to San Francisco would seem to have ex-
traordinary significance.

On The Right Track

/: Not that it would probably affect Stain S
:decision, but President Roosevelt's declara-
.tion favoring Russia's proposal to import ten
million former German soldiers to repair the
Havoc of war obviously will be welcome in
Moscow. There is nc reason to doubt that
Stain could play lone hand in reparations,
and is capable Of applying the big stick il
soft words are ineffective, he naturally would
prefer to proceed with the consent and ap-
proval of governments allied with him not
only in these closing campaigns of the Euro
pean war but at his side around the peace
table,
Furthermore, with Russian destruction re-
sulting from an invasion by ostensibly friend
ly forces, Mr.. Roosevelt's declaration at his
press conference that the Russians are we'll
within their rights in demanding that soldiers
of the offending nation supply the labor of
rebuilding, gives voice to sound view
1t is gratifying that so realistic a view is
expressed by the head of government or.
dinarily appraised as soft and idealistic

Stamping The Expert

Miss Lillian Hellman, the playwright, has
returned from four months in Russia with a
feeling of contempt, so she says, for those
travellers who spend six weeks in the Soviet
Union and then come home as self-styled au-
thorities on that vast nation.
A lot of us VIII understand Miss Hellman's
Impotence, for we have felt the same way
for several years Throughout the Thirties,
when the European pot was coming to a
boil, the woods were full Of short-course ex-
perts.
But this war seems likely to put them out
of business There will be thousands Of vet
Grams who have had longer and more init.
mate look at foreign life and problems than
some so-called expert of past years, and it
also seems likely that faster and cheaper post
war travel will open foreign doors to others
than those with wealth, leisure, or the bless
ings of an expense account.
With new thousands OF wide-eyed European
vacationers to supplement our Travelled veter'
ans, there won't be so much Of a market for
the once-over-lightly pundits.

Trump Card

In effecting landings Palawan island,
most westerly of the Philippines, General
Macarthur again plays his trump card-sur-
prise. 1t was quick victory, the chief port,
capital city and two air fields being taken
in day. American casualties were described
as light
The Japs weren't expecting him on Palawan.
They had thought his next strike would be
elsewhere. 1t is becoming to be familiar Mac
Arthur strategy hitting 'em where they
aren't. He practices it with superb effect.
Looking back at his Philippines return cam
paign, it is seen as regular pattern.
A fine thing about it is the relatively small
number of casualties in comparison with the
Japanese losses There have been no shocking
ly large losses in dead. His troops advance
but his protecting hand goes with them. They
evidently are not heedlessly sacrificed in gain
ing detectives.
1t is fortunate thing for America that he
was in the Far East when war started. His
generalship tenacity and fortitude have paid
America big dividends. The time required
such a man and he was on hand

New Inventor

1t was surprise to learn from the Inter-
national Associat on of Chiefs of Police that
President Roosevelt was the man who sug-
gested new, simple and, engineers say, per-
feet method for testing auto brakes.
1t is an inch thick piece of wood which fits
over a brake pedal shaft behind the pedal.
Press the pedal, and if the wood strikes the
floor board before the brakes take hold the
brakes need fixing. Simple that.
: Most of us could more easily imagine Mr.,
Roosevelt inventing system of national
economy than an ingenious little trick for
making the traffic safety cops job easier. So
we are happy, if somewhat amazed, to have
this further proof of his versatility.
!: Certainly we all hope that he will fully ex-
:ploit this knack of practical inventiveness to
lind as efficient means Of testing the brakes

lger of skidding out of hand

May Find A Way

The long battle over Henry Wallace has end
ed. He is now Secretary of Commerce but
supposedly without the vast lending powers
that Jesse Jones had in that office. Don't be
too sure. There will be found way to spend
money through Wallace. The purse strings
may not be as tightly knotted against him
as appears.
The fight consumed lot of time but it
was probably worth it, as it brought to sharp
issue the question of giving away the United
States. For some time it has appeared that
vas to be the American program Those who
advised a more prudent course were dubbed
:reactionaries, even Facists, by the liberals
That liberal business is sometimes quite
amusing. You will notice that the great 'liber.
als' generally confine it to being liberal with
other peoples money. That's easily done. It's
different when it is somebody's own, personal
funds. There are such liberals throughout
the Federal government, and they are also
found in state and municipal affairs.

so THEY SAY

Hitherto the idea Of new Europe has been
linked with that of German hegemony. Hence
forth propaganda on this theme should soft
pedal German hegemony and stress equality

We must be constantly on the alert for the
flight to this hemisphere of Nazi funds and
Nazi underground leaders who will seek to
find refuge here as base for an ultimate
comeback - Secretary of State Edward R.

Common sense should warn us that obvious
ly all states cannot remain supreme in all they
chose to do unless we are willing to accept the
cynical view that might makes right. - Vice

LETTER BOX
A PLEAD TO YOU

To The Editor:
Since December 7, 1941, a day
that all will long remember, the
world has been far from settled
and things in general are not as we
would like them to be.
Certainly all of us would like to
be home with the family with a
settled feeling and satisfying peace
but that is out of the question as
there are other plans to be full
filled.
We can't say I'm taking a
months vacation next month and
60 to the mountains and get away
from it all Some people can say
that and seem to delight over their
plans. Let us say that Mr.. and
Mrs. James Doe are planning this
trip. They are well-to-do people as
far as money is concerned, they
acquired their wealth through in
heritance, they do not hold job
and they do not have any children
or close relatives on the fighting
fronts and their conscience is just
as relaxed as a newborn babe.
Mrs. Doe argues with the clerks
about prices and ration points and
pays no attention to the pleads of
our government for full cooperation
from all.
Now let us look at the other side
Of the picture. Mr.. and Mrs. Jim
Jones are well-to-do people too.
They have two sons overseas and
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones are both work
ing in defense plant. They are
living under varied conditions. Mrs
Jones does her house work and
shopping just when she has the
chance. When Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
were called into the office at the
plant and asked if they would like
to take a couple of weeks off to
rest they flately refused for there
was something inside of them; that
aim and determination not to slow
up but to keep pushing on until the
battle is Won.
I trust that this little story will
be read by many and if the situa-
ton described fits you, Why not
do something about it?'
Let's all cooperate and work
hand in hand so that all may enjoy
future peace and keep America -
