LEND LEASE SUPPLIES TO
RUSSIA CAUSES THIS
BELIEF IN MANY QUAR-
TIERS

BY AssOeTsfed 4PresaD
WASHINGTON, June Is.
An announcement today by
Administrator Crowley con-
corning the ship m e mt of
Lend-Lease supplies to Rus
STA came far nearer than any
-officialestaternent about the
probability that Russia will
enter the war against Japan.
He said that not a single
item of Lend-Lease goods
was being sent to Russia by
way of Europe, but that all
of the supplies, consisting of
materials of war, were being
shipped to that country
along the very front door of
Japan; that is, all the ship
ments are going to Siberia by
way of the Sea of Japan. In
reaching t h cir destination
the ships, presumably Rus
sian, pass along the west
coast of Korea and Man
churia.
Along the northern border of
Manchuria the Jap command has
concentrated an army of more
than 100000 men to be ready
should a war break out with
Russia. The latter country also
has more than a million troops,
well equipped, in Siberia along
the Manchurian border. Several
times, while Russia was at grips
with Germany, Russian and Jap
troops clashed in border" dis
putes. I'D. n nl'. 20.
Comment here wasuthat Russia
may be viewed now as a passive
ally" because the presence of her
great armies in Siberia are fore
ing the Japs to keep great forces
in reserve in that area, which,
otherwise, would be used against
the Americans, the British and
the Chinese.

DEAR MR.. HEARST:

generous assistance of The Detroit Times in
making our first Purple Heart field day such
magnificent success Both the excellent trophies
furnished by this publication for winning patient
participants and the distinguished judges and
guests brought to the hospital with the aid of The
Detroit Times contributed greatly toward making
the day an outstanding event. The help of Mr..
Edgar Hayes of The Detroit Times staff was
invaluable.
| am certain that you agree that it is i'm
possible to overestmate the value of such activi-
tes-not only in promoting the confidence of both
patient participants and spectators as to their
ability to overcome handicaps but in developing
more realistic understanding by the general pub

The field day, 20 which The Detroit Times
contributed so greatly, was a high point in our

and Also to impress civilians that these men will
be qualified to accept such responsibilities once
proffered. ----

The Conditions of Peace

THE only living ex- x-president of the
United States, Mr.. Herbert
Hoover, made a wholesome and help
full contribution in his Philadelphia
speech before the Foreign Policy AS
sociation to public understanding of
the problems of world peace with
which the forthcoming San Francisco
conference will deal.
Mr.. Hoover believes there will be
a great opportunity to build the
foundations of world peace at the
conference, and he commends Presi
dent Truman for his decision that it
will proceed as planned.
But Mr.. Hoover also believes this
opportunity is conditional upon GER
tain essential facts.
He does not agree that ANY plan
for peace framed in San Francisco.
regardless of it's imperfections, will
create permanent world peace or
even enhance the prospect of peace.
THE story of human history, he
- said, is full of "peace plans"
which not only failed to perpetuate
peace but embodied conditions which
prevented and prohibited peace.
The most recent of these, of
course, was the League of Nations.
And in regard to the League, Mr..
Hoover bluntly refutes a widely held
but completely false notion.
"Some superficial thinkers assert
the League failed" he said, because
the American people refused to
join"
The real cause of the Leagues
failure, as Mr.. Hoover says, was that
it was created at a peace conference
wholly unwilling and incapable of
meeting the only conditions of per-
manent peace.
Tmperialism, nlilitarism, eco
non,ic pressures, hate and vengeance
sat at that peace table," says Mr..
Hoover.
MANY OF the underlying causes
OF tOar Were perpetuated and some
OF them Uere stimulated to more
uiolence."
That was why the League failed,
and it was not because America re-
fused to join it-knowing it for what
it was, and rejecting it for what the
American people knew it to be.
In other words, America was
RIGHT in not joining the League of
Nations and had no responsibility for
its failure-since its failure was in
herent in what Mr.. Hoover calls its
own grave weaknesses and many
handicaps."
But now we have had another
great war, and we are about to have
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-23

- POStNO.
A ND now some people are saying
that whatever sort of an organi.
Zation emerges from the San Fran
cisco conference the United States
should support it, since it would sup
posedly be better than nothing as the
League was purported to be.
Mr.. Hoover does not agree with
that.
He says the temporary structure
of international organization already
set up for consideration in San Fran
cisco contains weaknesses and
handicaps" equally as grave as those
that wrecked the League of Nations
and that would as surely wreck it's
successor.
This temporary structure timidly
proposes agencies for the pacific set
tlement of differences between ma
tions, and it proposes the use of
force to prevent or stop aggression
and then, as Mr.. Hoover cites,
gives each of the most powerful
nations in the world "a Ueto porDer
to prevent any designation of their
oUn actions as aggression" an action
that puts all the great military poD-
ers out of reach, and rOorld Wars are
not started by small nations"
THE preliminary structure upon
Il which the San Francisco confer.
ence will begin its work has already
melted suspicion and distrust among
the small nations, and indeed, fear
among them.
To that ominous extent it ignores
the greatest lesson in human history
which, as Mr.. Hoover says, is that:
"There can be no lasting peace
unless Ue summon the moral, spirit
ual forces uUhich Wiil diminish or
stop the underlying dynamic cause
of WGrs."
II the peace structure created in
San Francisco holds any reasonable
hope of success, the United States
must indeed "take it's full part in
carrying it out" Mr.. Hoover be-
leves.
But he very plainly does NOT
believe the United States should
blindly join or support an organiza-
ton foredoomed to failure by its own
weaknesses and handicaps
These are surely wholesome and
helpful facts for the American people
to have before them on the eve of the
San Francisco conference, and Mr..
Hoover has done the American peo-
pie great service in presenting the
facts.

POLITICAL
PARADE
BY George
RothweII Brown

GAN FRANCISCO April 2i-
~ A nation in mourning for a
fallen leader is turning toward
the Golden Gate today with an
enormous hope for some for
mula for world peace that will
make war impossible. at least
for many years TO come.
So strong is this feeling on the
part of plain people everywhere
that the great danger inherent
in the United Nations conference
lies in the fact that IL may raise
hopes so high that only a par
tial accomplishment might bring
about a popular reaction of dis
illusionment.
Expressive of this apprehen-
sion was the remark made today
by a man in this city, that so far
as he was concerned. he would
be content if the achievement.
from the point Of view of what
the United States may expect TO
gain from the conference, would
be AS much as so per cent of our
entire desires.
THAF appears to be typical OF
Il Of the attitude of this vest
ern empire city which next week
will become the host of the most
notable, impressive and impor-
tant International aSSemblage
OF world statesmen since the
congress Of Vienna undertook 10
rehabilitate Europe after the
Napoleonic wars.
Considering what the brutal
ity of war linked with the SUBJ
llmest attainments of science
has done in the field of inter-
national murder since the COM
paratively civilized warfare of
l9l4-1S, this coming San Fran
cisco conference appears TO this
writer. who was at the Paris
conference of 1919 as a news
paper correspondent, and who
covered the disarmament con-
ference in Washington under
President Harding, to be vastly
more important than either of
them.
ANE thing that this confer
" eHee, looking hopefully to-
ward a golden future for
mankind in the Pacific, should
avoid is the mistakes which
were made at Versailles and at
Washington.
We know what those mistakes
were. President Wilson, against
his wishes, felt obliged TO agree
10 what we now know to have
been political mistakes in Eu-
rope, which were only the breed
ers Of another war.
At Washington the United
States in A spirit of almost in
conceivable folly and altruiSm
gone fanatical. sacrificed her
predominant place as a naval
power.
Public opinion would not sup
port that today.
But II will have 10 deal with
two very important questions,
the application of the principles
of the Atlantic Charter TO the
smaller nations of Europe, in
cluding Poland, which has be-
come a symbol of our honor
and integrity and the rising
demand in this country for the
permanent acquisition in the
Pacific of every bit of land
American arms have captured
from the Japanese that is es-
sential TO our national safety.
