that the Russian delegation has suf-
fered several defeats, Mr. Molotov and
his colleagues have taken these defeats

an encouraging sign. However, it would
be grave mistake to bring about a
feeling in the Russian mind that the
conference is stacked against them and
that any proposal they advance will be
Steam-rollered to defeat. Too much of
that kind of medicine-even if some of
1t was needed at the start-might easily
drive the Soviet Republics out of the
conference.
With Russia out of the new interna-
tional organization much the same Stu
alton which was created when the
United States declined to join the old

rest of the world. Undoubtedly Russia
would build up a bloc of nations in
Eastern Europe and Asia. Strictly pow
er politics would be in the ascendancy
The world would be right back where

second World War. Not a pretty pic

Russia itself can do much to increase
confidence here. If Mr. Molotov and
his government would press for an i'm
mediate reorganization of the Proyi-
sional Polish government-promise at
Yalta-and cease all attempts to have
the Lublln government recognized with
out change, it would restore a faith in
the Russian government and its pur-
poses which has been sorelv tried since
the Russian moves were begun a few
weeks ago to force the issue. Mr.. Molo-

organization soon. If it could be accom-

Popular Choice

The American people may be
liberal or even radical in their
political and economic views, but
so far as their esthetic judgments
are concerned they are conservative.
Whenever they have an opportunity
to vote their preferences in pictures,
it is their invariable custom to
choose compositions characterized
by unqualified accuracy in drawing
and color. The painting awarded
the popular prize in the recent
Nineteenth Biennial Exhibition at
the Corcoran Gallery is work
which the so-called "modernists"
would not approve. Nevertheless, it
was the favorite of demonstrated
majority of visitors to the show.
And the public's opinion, as dis
tinct from that of professional
artists, is not indefensible. The
generality of men and women have
a legitimate right to be interested
in the whole gamut of creative
enterprise to which, if only as poten-
tial customers and patrons, they
themselves contribute. Painting
obviously affects architecture and
engineering. 1t therefore influences
town planning, traffic arrangements,
municipal financing and many other
activities in which all citizens in
evitably are involved. The displays
of pictures offered every second year
by the Corcoran, so regarded, are
challenge to public intelligence and
discrimination far more significant
than at first glance may seem to be
the case.
Specifically, the canvas selected
by ballot for the popular prize in the
1915 exhibition is a representation
of an old spring house on a farm
under late afternoon sunlight. It tells
the story of a man pouring milk
into cans for shipment to the city
The scene is frankly and unasham-
eddy honey. 1t does not need to be
interpreted. Nobody ever will have
to be instructed as to It's Inner

The French Elections

The first elections to be held IN
France since the war naturally ex-
cite much interest, though interpre-
tation of the results is not easy. To
begin with, it should be understood
that these are not parliamentary
but local elections, embracing all
municipal bodies from cities to rural
areas. And it should likewise be I'M
detstood that the French municipal
syNem is very different from ours.
In France, what we would call city
county and village officials have
far less power than in America, their
acts being renewable by a hierarchy
of officials known as projects and
subprefects. appointed by the CEN
trail government, according to the
French tradition of centralized au-
thority This renders the elected
municipal bodies semiadvisory in
character, one of their chief func
tons being the voicing of local feel
ings and desires. For that reason,
personalities play great part in
the choice of candidates. This, of
course. tends to becloud interpreted
ton of results as the local elections
reflect popular trends on national
issues.
The elections were held according
to the regulations under the Third
Republic, the innovations made by
the Petain regime being set aside
The last local elections in France
we're held in 1885. The one impor-
tant innovation was the grant of
suffrage to women and the eligibility
of women to public office It is evil
dent that the women of France took
full advantage of their new rights
in both respects And the woman
vote" was of special significance,
since so many men have been killed
or are still in process of liberia ton
from prisoner-of-Wa or work camps
in Germany
Broadly speaking, the first returns
indicate a swing to the Left some
what greater than had been anticl-
patel This was especially true Of
Paris and other big industrial CEN
tiers. But the big gains made by the
Communists are partially offset by
the fact that the party Endorsed
many candidates of other Left par
ties in doubtful districts rather than
put up Communist candidates. This
enables the Communists to ride in
on the coattails of the Leftist vic
tors. Another thing to be remem-
bered is that second ballotings must
take place wherever there were not
clear majorities. And in those Sec

We Day at Home

President Truman was we'll advised
to avoid delay in appealing for the
treatment of We day as an occasion
for the rededication of thought and
spirit and energy to the relentless
prosecution of the grim tasks which
lie ahead
His hesitation in doing this is
understandable for the war in Eu-
rope is not quite won, and conceiv-
ably it might drag on for some days.
But it is also true that the long
awaited word of surrender may come
at any moment. Hitler and his
Nazi aides have left the stage. His
army has ceased to function as an
army. The German nation, stricken
and helpless, is no better than a
bleeding, burning, chaotic mass. For
the Germans to fight on would be
sheer madness, and therefore we
should be prepared in this country
for an unheralded end of hostilities.
When word of victory comes, how
ever, it should not be seized upon
as a signal for noisy celebration.
The hearts of all men will be glad
ened to know that Hitlerism, as the
personification of evil in these times,
has been destroyed. But we need
to remember the price which the
attainment of that goal has exacted,
and the price which remains to be
paid before peace in any real sense
of the term can return to this
suffering world.
The President is asking all of the
keymen in his war administration
to pledge themselves to stay on after
We day, to remain at their posts
until Japan as we'll as Germany has
been beaten. But keymen alone
cannot carry on to final victory. If
We are to keep the faith with those
who have given their lives in this
great struggle for the survival of
humanity, if we are to press on
against Japan in search of a speedy
finish to the war, we must all pledge
ourselves to remain steadfast and
determined that no faltering on our
part shall prolong the struggle for
a single hour 1t is for this reason
that the spirit of We day should
be one of solemn thanksgiving, not
of unrestrained celebration.

This Changing World
BY Constantine Brown

Hitler was the greatest criminal so
far as the world is concerned, but as far
as Germany is concerned, he was also
the greatest fool who preferred to plunge
his adopted country together with the
rest of the world into an unparalleled
war of destruction rather than take
advantage of the fear he had inspired
and to dominate Europe by pacific
means.
He became Germany's dictator at
time when Europe was militarily SO UNI
prepared for war and morally so weak
that 1t would have accepted almost any
terms provided it was spared the holo-
caust its leaders knew would come from
another world war.
This was amply seen from the atti-
tude of Europes principal leaders such
as British Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain and French Premier, Edouard
Daladier at Munich and in the subse-
quent diplomatic operations" Of the
Austrian brigand. They did not dare
raise their voices when he broke his
word regarding Czechoslovakia and
Austria. And from the existing diplo-
matte documents which are in the files
of the foreign Offices of the western
democra cies, it is evident that he could
have handled Poland as he did the other
countries had he not desired to crush
the world by war

Had Hitler possessed a spark OF states
manship or had he surrounded himself
with at least few sane advisers, Ger
many today would be the dominating
power in Europe. DictatorS, however
never take advice. Their will is law and
their advisers are either stooges or
lackeys whose main role is to cheer
the utterances and actions of the great
man" even if they realize it will lead
the country to disaster
Hitler unquestionably was psyche
pathic case who could not see that war
not only would destroy him and his
country but also would plunge the rest
of the Old World into an irretrievable
chaos from which it is doubtful that it
will soon emerge.
Like all dictators, he imposed his will
on the opulation-which has also been
servile and subservient to whatever

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

SAN FRANCISCO. May 3-The great
est gamble of all times goes on today
in San Francisco. For what? 1t is not
for world domination, not for territorial
aggrandizement, not for its wealth 1t
is for a little thing called peace-of
which the wrold has seen none for more
than five long years.
The United Nations Conference is at
work on a charter for international Or
ganization to preserve peace In the fu-
ture. 1t will lay down set Of prin-
ciples' for world guidance, based on
justice and the integrity of international
agreements. That is the basic need. At
the same time it will provide the ma
chinery by which it is hoped to obtain
international security and economic fair
plav without which security is impos-
Sible

alton of machinery. however will not
be sufficient for the maintenance OF flu
ture peace. AS important as writing the
charter of the new organiza ton is the
atmosphere which will prevail when the
conferees have completed their tasks
and shaken the dust Of California from
their feet If it is one of friendliness
and faith. the world stage will have been
properly set for a successful interna-
tional organization. II, on the contrary.
it is one of suspicion and dislike, the
world will have to watch its step.
Unfortunat ely the tendency has been
to magnify every dispute that arises in
the conference; to play up the defeat of
Soviet Russia When Foreign Commits
sar Molotov and his colleagues in the
Russian delegation had been turned
down, for example. A contest is always
news Moreover those and there are
some, who do not wish this conference
to succeed have seized upon the an
taeonism to Communism and Com
munist Russia as the most potent
weapon with which to undermine the
conference.
The conference in reality already has
accomplished much, and in great part
with unanimity. Differences have been
ironed out in committee, and in confer
ences of the four sponsoring powers, the
United States. Britain Russia and
China There will be many times when
compromise is necessary to compose diff

authority took poWer-through the
feared Gestapo His regime, like the
regime of all dictators, had to be per-
sonal and based on terrorism. Even if
the German people had belatedly begun
to realize where the policies of the So
called 'Fuehrer" was leading them it
was too late for them to do anything
about it. The American armies which
have entered the heart of Germany have
raised only corner of the curtain hid
ing the unspeakable concentration and
labor camps where the Gestapo reigned
supreme.
Hitler introduced in Western Europe
the police state" in which no indi-
vidual, regardless of how harmless he
might be, can consider himself safe
from the fatal midnight knock at the
door which will take him away with
out process of law or valid cause
And the greatest tragedy in Europe
today is that this heritage, for which
the civilized world will never forget nor
forgive Hitler, has been adopted by
most of the ruling groups in countries
which are now emerging from what
their people thought would be only a
temporary nightmare
Hitler has destroyed Germany That
was his business and that of the people
who accepted him, either voluntarily
or because of fear. But he has also
destroyed-like all dictators do--the
real meaning of the word democracy
and freedom in most of the countries
with which he had direct dealings. And
because of that he will remain GRIM
inal whom history will never forgive.
The news of Hitler's death was re-
ceived with sigh of relief by every one
in Washington. 1t is hoped that the
object lesson which history had admin
istered to this man will serve good
purpose and teach all other dictators
or Would-be dictators that military
strength alone is not enough to make
a country great. No police state" in
history ever lasted for long. Nations
which have used the sword exclusively
to establish their might have ended it
by dying by the sword. Germany has
proved this once more.

Task Now Before Allies
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-There
seems to be fairly general acceptance
of the enemy reports that Hitler is dead.
though not of the claim that he died
a "heros death" in battle. Perhaps it
would be as we'll to maintain a certain
reserve on the whole question of Hit
lers fate until we have better evidence.
But If we are to assume that he is really
dead, or that the Germans are going
to act on such an assumption. we may
well ask ourselves what the effect on
the military situation will be.
The reported appointment Of Grand
Admiral Karl Doenitz as Hitlers sue
cessor first engages our interest. There
are some hints that Doenitz may make
his stand in the north-in Norway
Denmark and that part of North Ger
many still in German hands-which in
cludes the great naval bases of Kiel
and Wilhelmshaven, the former being
the traditional headquarters Of the COM
mander in chief of the German Navy
1t is interesting to note that the
commander of the German troops in
Norway, Gen. Boehme. has pledged
his allegiance to Doenitz. Most of the
German submarines are now in Nor
wegian ports together with such surface
ships as the German Navy still pos
sesses. 1t may not be easy for the
Germans to defend North Germany or
even Denmark, but Norway is a much
more formidable proposition If it has
to be stormed from the sea.
However, an ominous note for the
future of any laSt-ditch German stand
in Norway is sounded by reports from
Stockholm, which suggest that Sweden
may prove willing to take an active part
in liquidating German resistance in
NORWAY. Possibly the Swedish attitude
may be similar to that of the Swiss,
who are reported as considering Ger
many to be in state of dissolution, and
as doubling whether any German gov
eminent or legal authority any longer
exists. Under such conditions, even
neutral governments are entitled to take
such steps as may be necessary to pro-
tect their interests
We are not clear as to what has be-
come of Heinrich Himmler, who has
been carrying on some sort OF sur
render negotiations up to few days
ago. Perhaps he is in South Germany
now, though he was In Lubbock on April
"A. We do not know what authority he
now has, whether he Is in cooperation
or rivalry with Doenitz. The best guess
seems to be that Himmler Is somewhere
in the south, Doenitz in the north, and
that we may have rival surrender bids
from both of them, each seeking to save
his personal skin. On that point. it Is
learned on the best authority here IN
