Birthday Visit

President Truman's surprise visit
to Grandview, Missouri, ito be with
his mother on her lfinety-third
birthday has evoked some carping
criticism to the effect that he should
not have spent public funds on a
trip OF that sort. This is a complaint
which will receive no support from
any one with even a faint concep-
ton of what it means to be Presi-
dent of the United States in these
hectic times.
Away back in the good old days"
the presidency was supposed to be a
man-killing job. But the duties of
a President of twenty years or so
ago would hardly be comparable to
the after dinner chores of the man
who occupies the White House to-
day. There is the little matter of
strikes and reconversion, for in
stance, but that. while it would be q
full-time job for most of us, is
hardly more than a detail in the
Presidents schedule. Certainly, he
has bigger headaches to contend
with the perilous situation in
China, what to do about the atom
bomb, how to get along with Russia,
relations with Congress, the political
outlook for the Democratic party,
and, assuredly not least, the deadly,
daily routine Of running the office
OF President of the United States.
The cumulative pressure of these
responsibilities, coupled with the
knowledge of what a failure in deal
Ing with any one of them could
mean to this country, is enough to
give the most rugged President the
willies. And very few taxpayers will
begrudge the expense If MIR. Truman
wants to get away from it all to be
with his mother on her birthday.
AS a matter of fact, the trip would
have been fully justified If he had
gone to Missouri last Sunday for no
better purpose than just to hide
away in some quiet spot and hold his
head in his hands.

Sees American Prestige Lost

Sees American Prestige Lost
To the Editor of The Star:
When the sun set on VI day. the
prestige of the United States was at a
new high in all corners of the globe.
The recently liberated countries of Eu-
rope and Asia saw in us a champion of
their rights. They believed us when we
proclaimed that we would uphold the
Atlantic Charter and the decisions laid
down at Potsdam. They looked to us
for the leadership the world needed so
badly. Whether we realized it or not.
the United States had emerged from
the Second World War the most power
ful nation on earth and commanded
the respect, faith and admiration of
practically all Of the war-torn countries
on this planet.
Today, in little more than u short
weeks, we have lost our great op-
: portunity to lead war-weary world in
to golden era of lasting peace. When
those whose faith we commanded on
WI day and shortly thereafter, look
upon us now, they find us silent when
we should be intervening and interven-
ing when we should stand aloof.

General HurIey's Charges

President Truman has acted with
decisiveness and wisdom in calling
upon General George C. Marshall
to fill the gap in our Far Eastern
diplomatic service which results
from the dramatic resignation of
General Patrick J. Hurley as Am
baSsador to China.
The charges which General Hurley
has made against the professional
diplomats of the State Department,
and his contention that their sub
version of this Governments avowed
foreign policies is leading the United
States into third world war, should
be source of deep concern to the
people of this country. It is re-
assuring, however, to know that
General Marshall is being moved
into the breach, for he is man in
whom the American people have the
fullest confidence and there can be
no slightest doubt that his every
effort at Chungking will be directed
toward safeguarding and promoting
the interests of this country.
But the fact that the President
has made an exceedingly good choice
of successor to General Hurley
must not be permitted to smother
the charges set forth in the state
ment accompanying the latter's
resignation. General Hurley has had
an unusual record of outstanding
service to this country. A Republican
Secretary of War under Herbert
Hoover, he was drafted" by the late
President Roosevelt early in this war
as his personal representative in a
number of highly important and
highly confidential diplomatic mis-
sions. That General Hurley dis
charged these responsibilities faith
fully and well is best evidenced by
the continuing trust which has been
reposed in him. And this, coupled
with his conceded talents, precludes
any possibility that his accusations
can be brushed aside as coming from
an irresponsible or ill-informed
source.
These accusations are of an ex-
tremely serious nature. In brief,
General Hurley says that some of
the State Departments career men,
including some who are highly
placed, have been deliberately sabo-
tagging the policies to which the
President and the Secretary of State
have sought to adhere. And, with
out actually naming any country,
he says that the result of this has
been to align the United States with
British colonial Imperialism against
Russian imperialism in a struggle
for power which is leading directly
to third world war.
Without a full investigation, it is
impossible to determine the extent
to which the facts support these
charges. 1t is known, however, that
General Hurley has considerable
documentary evidence to sustain his
complaint, and it is obvious that he
is asking for a public investigation,
presumably and preferably by an
appropriate committee of Congress.
1t seems clear enough that the State
Department, which normally prefers
to conceal its activities from public
view, must join with its accuser in
seeking the investigation he desires,
for otherwise 1t can hardly hope to
retain the confidence of the people
of this country.
