WHEN the council Of foreign
w ministers blew up, Jimmy
Byrnes called in the reporters
three weeks too late!
Mr.. Byrnes explained the diff
ference between the way he
used to "fix things at the Sem
ate, and the way in which he
had been compelled to proceed
under different circumstances in
London.
But he did not carry the ex-
pianauon far enough. There
fore this writer will attempt
to do it for him.
Jimmy Byrnes succeeded as a
"fixer" at the Senate for Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the excellent
reason that in those days his

ing Tor a Dig ooss'
CTALIN is all-powerful, with

Mr.. Roosevelt had the dis
poSal of the most enormous
bureaucratic patronage in the
history of any country. His
nod determined whether a GER
tain state or a certain city
would be given some one of a
thousand factories, hospitals,
airplane fields, public housing
projects. His word carried
heavy weight in the granting
of vast sums of money from
the multi-billion-dollar lending
agencies of the government.
At London the conditions
with which Byrnes had been
familiar in Washington were
reversed. There Molotov was
Molotov. and Jimmy was
merely the spokesman of a gov
eminent which had lost its
bargaining power by giving it
away in advance.

basis for the billions advanced
in lend-lease.
