America and Attlee's Britain
By David Laurence
From the New York Times:


It would be wholly unjustifable to
drop or minimize any program of
economic cooperation with Great Bri-
tain because we must deal with Mr..
Attlee instead of Mr.. Churchill. No one
could seriously propose that there should
be any change in lease-lend policies for
that reason. If America extends post
war aid to Britain or to any other ma
ton, either in the form Of loans or
outright contributions, we have a right
in return, Of course, to an assurance
that the country to which such aid Is
given will refrain from policies likely
to reduce the greatest possible home
production or the greatest possible
amount OF self-help. We want to feel
not merely from our own standpoint
but from that of the country being
aided, that our help is doing the greatest
amount of good, and that our own
people are not being asked to bear
deprivations in vain. Particular loans
or contributions may therefore properly
be made subject to definite understand
ings. But no discrimination against any
government on the mere general eround
that 1t is more to the right or to the
left than we should like can be tolerated
IN our foreign policy.

Shuky Controls

Unless there should be a large
measure of voluntary compliance,
the Federal wartime control agen-
cies are faced with some exceedingly
rough shedding during the reconver-
sion period.
The Presidents executive order
directs these agencies to continue
their wartime functions, but 1t Is
difficult to discern in the order any
effective means of discharging these
responsibilities.
On the face of the order there
would seem to be two prime sources
of potential trouble. The first has
to do with wage and price controls.
Thus, the Presidents order appears
to pave the way for wage increases.
The War Labor Board and other ap-
propriate officials, according to the
order, are authorized to permit en-
ployerS to grant wage increases
without obtaining prior approval.
But this is conditioned by the pro-
viso that such increases must not
serve 'in whole or in part as the
basis for seeking an increase in
price ceilings" The effect of this is
to scrap the Little Steel formula
and thereby hold out the promise of
wage increases, but at the same
time to forbid increases in wages
which would require higher prices.
There will be some cases, of course,
in which it will be possible to attain
both of these objectives. But in the
main the indications are that there
will be few advances in wages dur
Ing the period of reconversion un-
less the board and the director of
economic Stabilization are prepared
to approve rather general lifting
of price ceilings.
There is also considerable uncer-
tainty as to the effectiveness of the
orders provision for settlement of
labor disputes The President says
Ulldg GIlC plOpC1 Oll1CldlS Sl1dll
slider that labor disputes which
would interfere with effective
transition to a peacetime economy
are disputes which interrupt work
contributing to the effective prose-
cution of the war" That may be
theoretically sound. AS practical
matter, however, it is apt to prove
meaningless after w day.
The President has done what he
could with the facilities at his dis
pesal, but the reasonable conclusion
is that his executive order boils
down to an appeal to the common
sense and discretion of industry and
labor. The controls, in literal
sense, are exceedingly shaky, and
in the absence of extensive volun-
tary compliance there will'be serious
trouble

State Department Chances

1t probably is a mistake to read
into the State Department resigna-
tions any deeply significant portents
of changing policies or postwar re-
organization. The simplest explana-
ton undoubtedly is the correct one
"a desire of men. relieved of the
immediate pressure of war respon-
Sibilities, to retire from public serv-
ice for rest or for return to the less
exacting and more remunerative
pursuits of private life.
For Joseph C. Grew, as an ex-
ample, the end of the war with ia
pan has meant cessation of a pecu-
liarly personal and continued strain
that began long in advance of the
attack on Pearl Harbor. He saw the
war clouds gathering in Tokyo be-
fore they were seen. or at least be-
fore they were accurately identified,
in Washington. He was interned in
Japan, brought back to Washington
on an exchange ship and given as
signments here, including a coun-
try-wide speaking tour which would
have taxed the strength of a
younger and more vigorous man,
which utilized his knowledge of the
japanese and balanced sense of
judgment. Whether or not he re-
turns to Japan later on with General
Macarthur, he has indicated before
now his desire for rest.
Mr.. MacLeish and General Holmes
have regarded their governmental
duties as war assignments and both
wanted to return to civil life. If the
rumors regarding Nelson Rockefel-
ler's impending resignation are true,
his leave-taking will represent his
own rather than Secretary Byrnes'
decision. Mr.. Acheson's resignation
as Assistant Secretary was dictated
by a desire to get back into law
practice-overcome, it is said, only
by Secretary Byrnes' quick insist
ence that he succeed Undersecretary
Grew.
As for impending administrative

Jurisdiction. 5
Korea, which has population Of
22,00,0 900, formerly was an empire owing
allegiance to the Chinese Emperor in
Peking. But in 1910 it was formally
annexed by Japan when the Korean
Emperor abdicated and was replaced
by a Japanese governor general. The
Koreans are not Chinese and their
language is mixture OF Mongolo-Tartar
and Japanese with large sprinkling Of
Chinese words.
To the Russian government, however,
Korea has great strategic importance
because of her situation between the
Maritime Provinces and the Kwantung
Province which the Allies agreed should
be handed over to Russia. A number Of
Korean liberals have been educated in
Moscow and taught the most efficient
methods of running the country. Dur
ing the war there were several groups
OF exiled Koreans, some in the United
States and others in Chungking. But
the Koreans in Moscow and Siberia are
by far the most numerous of all the
groups outside the country and inevi-
tably will head the future government
OF Korea since Russian forces are ex-
pected to take over the country from
the Japanese.
AS far as can be foreseen at this time,
the Korean government will be the only
puppet organization which Russia is
expected to establish in Asia. The agree
ment signed in Moscow with China pro-
vides that Chungking will regain control
over Manchuria, Jehol and the rest =
the provinces which either have been
taken away from them by the Japanese
or have f1irted with the idea of placing
themselves under Soviet influence.
Much depends, of course, on what
happens in the conflict between Chung
king and Yenan and whether or not
Russia lives up to her pledge not to
give material assistance to the Chinese
Communists who are still attempting
to replace Chang and the Kuomintang.
The question of large-scale civil war
also depends to certain extent on
whether the Japanese want to create
disturbing situation in the territories
they have held since 1885.
In the event they obey the orders of
Hirohito, literally, they will surrender
only to the forces of the Central Chinese
government. But If they act on their
own they are likely to surrender them
selves and their equipment to the
Chinese Communists. In some quarters
1t is feared that they may even join
the Communists as force to promote

War-Making Power
By Maj. Georse FieId;ns EIot

Inc foundation of modern war is of a
oual nature. 1t consists of the twin
. cornerstones, the laboratory and the
factory. The most advanced, diligent
and versatile scientific research and
development must go hand in hand
with an industrial plant capable of
transforming new discoveries into i'm
proved or wholly new weapons in sufi-
clent quantity and without fatal DELAYS.
We are discovering that if the Ger
mans had only been able to give in
dustrlal expression, in time and in VOL
ume, to some of their discoveries, our
victory might not have come so quickly.
we entertain shrewd suspicion that
the Russians had to use quantity pro-
ductlon, sheer weight of metal, in order
to make up for certain, though not
total, lack of scientific techniuues.
Neither of our twin cornerstones can
support the whole edifice of modern
War-making power without the other.
Any deficiency in one impairs the ability
of the other to do its job.
In order for these twin cornerstones
to be constructed, and to be enlarged
as may be necessary, there must be
available in plentiful quantities the
basic elements of which they are built.
These basic elements are of two kinds:
Men and material There must be raw
materials of all sorts, including not
only iron, coal, oil and such other staple
commodities, but all the vast range of
the incredibility variant requirements
of modern industry and research. There
must likewise be men; men in great
numbers, trained men, men who have
been educated in every branch of
science, men possessed of every known
skill and craft. From these elements,
the twin cornerstones of war-making
powers may be constructed.
When you have examined these basic
conditions, you will perceive that of all
the nations of the world, only the
United States is completely and fully
equipped to make war, as far as the
foundations of power are concerned.
The Soviet Union may become so in
another generation, but has not yet ed
vanced far enough in the scientific,
technical and educational field: There
has not been time since the artificial
darkness of serfdom and of Czarism
was lifted from the land.
Meanwhile, 1t is the United States, in
association with Great Britain and Can
ada, which has the atomic bomb: It Is
we who have the world-ranging air
power; It Is we who have worked out
