American soldiers do not take kindly
to police work, and as a consequence,
when they are required to do it over
long periods and against their wishes.
they do 1t badly.
Armies are not recruited, trained or
organized for police work. They can,
and they must, after great victory, as
sumo responsibility for the maintenance
of order in conquered territory until
they can be replaced by suitable police
organisms. It should be one of the
first objectives Of wise policy to make
this substitution as quickly as possible,
consistent with security, to get the work
done more eficiently at less cost, and
to avoid cumulative deterioration In
military morale and discipline.
*t*
1t is perfectly possible to have all nee
essary security in Germany without
keeping 100000 or 100000 American
troops scattered over the countryside.
In the first place, the process of re-
placing the present garrison forces
(many Of whom want to 60 home) with
voluntarily enlisted soldiers who are
willing to stay In Europe during their
enlistments should be speeded up. These
can be supplemented with newly drafted
young men for a time, II this is neces-
sary; a suficient framework Of expert
enced noncommissioned officers and spe-
cialists can probably be obtained from
volunteers. But these troops cannot and
should not be used for police duties, or
in any capacity where they form per-
manent garrisonS Of German towns and
cities.
One Of the easiest ways to solve this
problem would seem to be afforded by
the penlnsula Of Schleswig Holstein.
True. this Is In the British zone Of occu-
patton, but the British have the same
problems we have. The British soldier,
too, makes bad policeman, and many
Of the British Tommics now In Germany
want to so home.
Why would 1t not be possible to estab-
lish joint Anglo o-American military
zone In Schleswig- Holstein, directly ad-
jacent to the Danish frontier? This
zone could be entirely cleared Of its Ger
man population; this would be . small
matter compared to some Of the shifts
Of population which have taken place

cizes Our handling of the atomic bomb
But is it asking for the abolition of
atomic warfare? Is 1t promoting
strengthening of UNO through restric-
tions on the war-making powers OF all
nations, great and small? Is 1t backing
up the scientists frantic plea for gen.
uine worldwide prohibition and in
spection of uranium mines and labora-
tories and the diversion of atomic
science to experiments in its construc-
tive use? Is it applauding Einstein's
plea? Not at all
Those who want to strengthen UNO
by a new international law to which
all nations must be subject and by
genuine international police to enforce
that law are accused of trying to de-
stroy the peace.
AS in 1912 and 1943 the Communist
world press was crying in repetitive
claque for a second front in Europe,
regardless of the warnings Of the west
ern military that an i'll prepared inva-
sion would be disastrous; so now, not
a single consideration of American Sc
curity interests it; it wants atomic
bombs for Russia with no strings at
tached while 1t uses the word Fascist"
to describe American policy, and speaks
of American Imperialism" in verbiage
almost identical With that of DR..
Goebbels
Universal peacetime service for Amer
ican citizens is attacked as a warlike
act, and as the foundation for Amer
ican imperialism, not American de-
fense. But nowhere do the Communists
press for the universal abolition of con-
Scription.
The peacetime conscription of the
Soviet Union, which has been a feature
Of Soviet life for quarter century, Is
entirely for defense.
Entirely for aggression are all other
armies and armaments, wherever they
may be-all leading to the logical con-
clusion that the United States is po-
tential aggressor, who should-according
to international agreements-be struck
in its nefarious Fascistic purposes be-
fore it strikes first. Meanwhile, Russia
must get the atomic bomb.
This column has never accepted the
doctrine of the enforcement of peace"
as set forth in the arguments for the
San Francisco Charter 1t holds for
universal restrictions on war-making
powers, on all nations including the
United States. But it holds for strict
reciprocity. The propaganda that mon
strous armaments for one power are
peace loving" and defensive" and for
another are Fascistic, war mongering,
and aggressive, is obviously insincere
and fraudulent, II not conspiratorial,
criminal and reasonable.

America in China

Despite the limited accord reached
recently by the Chungking govern
ment and the leadership of the
Chinese Communists, the specter of
full-scale civil war now looms larger
than ever in China, although reports
from both sides are still confused
and contradictory.
The Chinese Communists are
hurting angry charges against us.
General Wedemeyer, commander of
our troops in China, is accused of
telling nothing but lie" in saying
that there would be no American in
tervention in the strife, and our
Marines are bitterly described as
positively" resorting to armed ac-
ton against the Yenan forces. How
ever this may be-and perhaps it
may be discounted entirely-there
can be little doubt that we are
deeply involved. The United States,
as it has for years past, fully sup
ports Generalissimo Chang and the
Chungking government More than
that, since the end of the war it has
been transporting large elements of
Chiang's army-by planes and ships
to northern areas where the Com
munists have long been active.
The seriousness OF the situation,
from the standpoint of both the
, Chinese and our relations with Rus
sia, is well illustrated by the cur
rent impasse at Yingkow in Man
churia. This port is reported to be
strongly held by elements of Yenan's
Eighth Route Army, despite the as
sertion OF Chungking general that
the Soviet commander there had
guaranteed safe landings for
Chiang's Nationalist forces. These
forces now are at sea in American
transports under command of Ad-
miral Barley, who is represented as
declaring that he will not put the
troops ashore unless the Russian
commander orders the Chinese Com
munists to move out,
But Yingkow is merely one case.
Other troubles will almost certainly
arise, and some of them may easily
make 1t impossible for our forces to
remain on the sidelines. A general

as today" and "the brain cavity is
also very similar"
DR.. AL ASH specifically declared
that the Iranian government will
welcome American and British
archaeologists "to resume their pre-
war excavations" The practical
value of such enterprises no longer
requires to be argued. Both directly
and indirectly they contribute to
the wealth of extant generations.
They add to human knowledge of
continuity and fellowship; they
demonstrate the basic unity and
mutuality of all the peoples of the
earth from the unlimited past into
the illimitable future.

pointed out that when the Germans
were driving toward Stalingrad, Tur-
key mobilized force at the Soviet bor-
ders. Inonu's explanation, which is
considered as truthful by the State De-
partment. is that "the probability of
German surprise attack against our
Black Sea defenses led to a dispersal
OF our forces along the Black Sea
front" Moreover, Inonu added, "in the
summer of 1912 we officially informed
the Soviet government that we were
concentrating forces at Trebizond and
Hopa against the eventuality Of Ger
man landing at the back door of the
Caucasus" The Soviet government ex-
pressed at that time it's satisfaction at
the precautionary measures adopted by
the Turks.
The Turkish President went on to
explain why Turkey did not enter the
war earlier and how the various actions
which he recited were helpful to the
final victory of the Allies. The mobiliza-
ton Of Turkeys full manpower in those
days and the efforts she made are de-
scribed as having been costly an re-
turn" Inonu stated Turkey has no
demand or claim on her losses in the
past. Under these circumstances it
would be fully inconsistent with any
sense OF justice to exact from Turkey,
under any pretext whatever, some OF
her territories or something of her
sovereign rights"
The Turkish government has been
expecting a showdown with Russia for
several months. 1t has appealed directly
to America and Britain asking these two
major members of the United Nations
to prevent any rape of Turkey"
Inonu's speech is regarded here as a
last desperate appeal to the peace-lov-
ing nations of the world, although 1t
it appears that he has little hope that
his appeal will be heard
American diplomats who have been
uneasy" about the Turkish question
since the days Of the Yalta Conference,
when the matter was earnestly dis
cussed by the Big Three for the first
time, hope that Premier Stalin-if he
does speak Wednesday-will say nothing
to precipitate a crisis which would be
the first test Of the United Nations
Charter and would seriously affect the
whole structure of the United Nations
Security Organization.

From the New York Herald Tribune
If the matter were less serious there
would be certain amount of humor
in the panic pessimism over the failure
OF the foreign ministers conference

have most notably devoted their talents
to making it fail "Our Allies haven't
learned anything since the last war;"
exclaims Senator Wheeler, who has him.
self never learned anything since the
last war. Anguished cries for an I'M
mediate Big Three conference and the
establishment Of harmonious relations
with Russia in an atmosphere OF mutual
confidence" go up from others who have
been indefatigable in sowing suspicion
OF the Russians. The discovery that
kicking the Soviet Union and other Al
lies in the shins is not an infallible
recipe for establishing universal peace
and Concord has left some in a state Of
bafled bewilderment; they confess that
they do not see any answer to so un.
expected development.

The Labor Conference

There has been a tendency, even
in the highest quarters, to attribute
a be-all or end-all character to the
labor management conference open
ing today Without minimizing the
great potential Importance of this
meeting. however, it ought to be
made clear at the outset that the
American people will be making
mistake II they react to it in either
of two ways: Cd If they expect too
much of it should it be reasonably
successful, or (2) if they throw up
their hands despairingly should its
results fall short Of the hopes of its
sponsors.
Some heralds of the conference
have spoken almost as If the fate of
the Nation and the world depended
on it. Such hyperbole. of course,
makes little sense. and beyond that,
If taken too seriously. it could lead
to rather dangerous degree of dis
illusionment or defeatism in case
the outcome of the meeting should
fail to measure up to excessive
expectations. Between extremes of
any kind. there is always a middle
ground, and in this instance the
American people will be we'll advised
to plant their feet firmly upon it by
realizing that the relationship be-
tween labor and management is pc
culiarly sensitive and complex, that
no single gathering of the sort start
ing today Is likely to find a magic
formula for ending all industrial
strife, and that failure in this sense,
at this juncture. need by no means
have a disastrous effect either ma
tionally or internationally.
1t is equally essential, however, not
to underestimate the Importance of
the labor management conference.
II the men taking part in it-eight-
cen representing labor and eighteen
industry can carve out wide area
Of agreement among themselves, if
they can establish common set Of
principles and recommend better
machinery than now exists for han
ding disputes after collective bar
gaining fails, America will be very
well served and this meeting will be
OF historic significance.
In the circumstances, though over
optimism would be unrealistic, the
American people are entitled to ex-
pect that the conferees meeting to-
day will strive most earnestly, as
good citizens holding the national
interest above every other interest,
not to go off on explosive and non-
germane tangents but to work out
some basic understanding that will
point the way to relief from a plague
Of crippling strikes and lockouts at
time when all-out production is vital
to the well-being of all of us.
This is the primary objective of
the conference. To ask it for cure
all would be asking for too much, but
a substantial palliative ought to be
possible. At very least, the effort to
this end should be marked by the
utmost sincerity and good will on
both sides; given that, even If the
results of the present gathering
prove disappointing, there will be
plenty OF reason for labor and man
agement~ to keep on trying.
Evening star., 1945-11-05

understanding by every party In
volved seems to be becoming urgent.
The position OF the United States is
clear: We recognize the Chungking
government. So, too, for that mat
ter, does Russia, which in its 30-year
treaty with the Chungking govern
ment has pledged its moral and ma
terial support. 1t is not clear, how
ever, whether the pledge is being
fully kept. A word from Moscow
on this point might do much to ease
the tenseness of the situation.
Evening star., 1945-11-05
Opportunity for q Forum

One OF the current theories on
settlement of labor disputes is that
an acceptable tribunal, after in
vestigation, should give full publicity
to the positions of both sides and
let the weight of public sentiment
force agreement. It might be tried
in the case of the strike and lockout
at the Andrew ]. Higgins plants in
New Orleans. The union oficials
there are asking for Congressional
investigation and Mr.. Higgins, who
went fishing in literal as we'll as
figurative sense, is quoted after his
return as saying that a Congress
sional investigation would be fine.
I'm for it,"
The investigation, OF course, would
take the union leaders and Mr.. Hig-
gins of the spot, which then would
be occupied by the investigating
members of Congress. For that rea-
son, they may not be enthusiastic.
But from all appearances, here is 4
case that involves tripartite re-
sponsibility as between the union
leaders, the Government and Mr..
Higgins as an employer. Somehow,
it should be fixed. The dispute evil
IDENTIFY has little to do with wages or
working conditions, but reaches into
that nebulous area of union politics
and jurisdictional conflict not mere
ly between unions but between dif-
ferent Government agencies.
There is no law which can compel
Mr.. Higgins to work, any more than
there is one to deny employees the
right to strike. But the conditions
which permit and encourage such
demonstrations on either side are
distinctly contrary to the public in
terest. AS the unions and Mr.. Hig-
gins both seem anxious for public
forum, Congress could do worse than
provide one.

The Sacred Cows

The net effect OF the Senate's first
two days of debate on the Govern
ment reorganization bill has been to
add one more agency to the thirteen
which the Senate bill says the Presi-
dent cannot touch in any reorgani-
zation plan.
AS Senator Byrd pointed out in his
recommendations to the President
on reorganization last week, there
are almost hundred independent
establishments operating now out
side of departmental control. If
fourteen or fifteen agencies are
exempt from the reorganization
bill, there is still room for the Presi-
dent to do great deal.
But the principle represented in
seeking to extend the number OF
sacred cow" agencies, untouchable
by the President, is important If
the door is opened and If the Senate
agrees to exempt additional agencies,
the basic theory of giving the Presi-
dent authority to reorganize the
executive branch is destroyed. If
fourteen are exempt, why not fif-
teen? If fifteen are exempt. why
not twenty? And so on.
Outside few quasi judicial and
quasi-legislative agencies, the Pres
ident's hands should be left free to
abolish, transfer and combine func-
tions and agencies. The tendency
to exempt agencies blessed by friends
and influence in Congress has re-
tarded reorganization in the past.
The only sensible procedure is to
give the President the full authority
he asks and let him go ahead. What
he does will always be subject to veto
or later modification by Congress.
Senator Byrd's brief outline of the
incredible hodge-podge of Govern
ment agencies as they now exist be-
comes another indictment of con-
dition which demands correction.
There are twenty-five agencies or
units concerned with housing, op-
Grating within eleven departments
or independent establishments;
twenty-nine statistical agencies in
twenty-one departments or inde-
pendent establishments; twenty-one
concerned with transportation,
spread among ten agencies; ninety
three concerned with Government
lending, spread among seventeen
agencies; three hundred and five
having to do with national defense,
spread among forty-seven agencies
And so it goes, through long and
dismal list. Federal civilian per-
sonnel has reached the staggering
total of 3,649,769, compared with
917,760 on Armistice Day in 1918
Functions surprising in Importance
those exercised by departments of
Government are assigned to agencies
which have no responsibility to or
representation in the Cabinet.
Probably the chief critic of this
expensive and inefficient maze is
Congress. Yet the responsibility for
it's creation lies In Congress and it is
only through congressional action
that the President may take the
steps necessary to begin a long de
layed housekeeping. Instead of
continually seeking exceptions to
what the President can do, the dis
position in Congress should be to
urge him on. The dangers of a
sprawling, inefficient, wasteful exec
utive branch far outweigh those of
abuse, by the President, of his au-
thority to clean up the mess.
