I showed it to Ma, not quite able
yet to show it to Pa. She gazed at
me wonder-eyed; and yet she wasn't
quite surprised, for she thought I
was wonderful. You know mothers.
Pa came in from stopping the pigs
and Ma said, "Sit down, Amos, I
want to read you something" I
tried to look casually out Of the
window.
Pa leaned forward as he recog-
nized the idea. There, at the bot
tom where it was printed, Ma read
my name.
1t took Pa about minute to speak.
Finally he said, Homer, did you
really write that?"
II guess I did," said, trying to
pretend it wasn't anything.

on his glasses and looked suspi-
ciously, as if Ma and I had perpe-
trated some sort of hoax, then read
1t to himself from beginning to end,
his lips moving to form the words.
That's real helpful information,

THE STORY THUS FAR: Amos Croy
settled ON farm at Marysville, Mis-
souri,, where he married and a son, Ho-
mer, was born. Homer's earliest recol-
lection was Of cyclone which blew the
sod barn down and wrecked the orchard.
Sunday meant church, company for din
ner and guessing the weight Of the steers.
Dehorning Of the calves was always a
big event on the Croy farm. Curing Of
hams was a distasteful job to Homer, as
he had to clean the smoke house and get
the fuel ready, then keep the fires burn
ing. He was well repaid, however, when
his mother started to serve the baked
and fried ham. Homer did not like farm
work, although he enjoyed the fruits Of
his efforts.

Administrative Headache

Prime Minister Churchill and Ma
jor General Lucius D. Clay. General
Eisenhower's deputy for the military
occupation of Germany, have made
statements as to plans for admin
istering the affairs of the shattered
Reich which seem to be somewhat
in conflict.
MIR. Churchill is quoted as telling
the House of Commons that, in gen.
eral, it is the aim of the Allies that
the Germans should administer their
country in obedience to Allied direc-
tions. eve have no intention" he
declared, "of undertaking the bur-
den of administering Germany our
selves" At the same time General
Clay was telling correspondents at
supreme Allied headquarters that
the military government in Ger
many will be entirely through Army
channels, although a considerable
number of American expert civilians
will be employed And Ambassador
Robert Murphy, political adviser to
General Eisenhower, added that the
amount of German participation in
administration will be, for a long
time, on low levels.
Specifically, at least, these state
ments do not seem to jibe, and the
net result is a rather confused i'm
preston of a divergence between
British and American officials. The
chances are, however, that this diff
ference, if it exists in fact, is un-
important. More to the point is the
absence of any evidence of disagree
ment between the British and our
selves on the consequential aspects
of the immediate program to be in
augurated in Germany.
General Clay said that the initial
aims of the American occupation
will be to smash all that is left of
Germany'S potential to make war,
to destroy all vestiges of Naziism
and to see that all war criminals are
caught and punished. Nothing in
Mr.. Churchill's somewhat guarded
statement to Commons suggests that
he is in any disagreement with these
initial aims, which, in themselves,
will keep the Allied authorities busy
for some time to come. The diff
culties, and there will be difficulties,
may be expected to arise in the
choice of means of attaining these
and other objectives. 1t Is as certain
as anything can be that the task of
administering the various zones in
Germany through a central agency
in Berlin will prove to be a first
class headache. But there is no rea-
son to conclude that the seeming
contrast between the statements by
Mr.. Churchill and General Clay is
indicative of any substantial dis
agreement at this stage of the task,
and there most assuredly is nothing
to be gained from anticipating
trouble.

casts from Moscow that there must
be a really friendly government In
Turkey, free from any pro-Fascist in
fiuence.
This means that the entire structure
OF the present Turkish government must
be changed and that Istanbul itself will
have to be placed under international
control in which Russia will have a
predominant position.
y n X
With Turkeys inevitable entry into
the Russian orbit, the security belt"
will be completed and Russia's interest
in world security organization as it
was contemplated at Dumbarton Oaks
before the collapse of the Reich has
become largely academic.
But Britain and the United States are
keenly interested in the shape of things
to come in Europe. Britain is particu-
larly so. Unlike the period after the
Napoleonic war when the problems
which faced the statesmen of the vic
torious nations were either territorial
or concerned with the preservation of
the monarchies, the Allies are faced
with the problem of a new theology
which is being strongly supported by
one of the nations which has contributed
very largely to the destruction of the
common enemy.
At the meeting of the victors in 1915
they were unanimous in their major
aims. Today the heads of the Big
Three, as has been demonstrated in the
last two months, are far from unani-
NOUS in their objectives except that
they all hope to establish a lasting
peace. The Russians have solved this
problem so far as they are concerned
by establishing, through military occu-
patton, security belt" where the local
governments are puppets assisted by
numerous Red divisions.
In all other matters there Is a def
mite cleavage between the U. S. S. r.
on one side and the American and
British democratic point of view on the
other.
Mr.. Truman has had time to be-
come acquainted with the current in
ternational situation and is willing to
tackle the difficult situation which is
facing the world with the other two
statesmen. Russia still desires and needs
not only economic but also financial
support from the United States. This
latter consideration is likely to induce
the Soviet Premier to consent to three
party discussion, in which political sit
uations, which he already considers set
tied by the Red Armies, will have to
come to the fore

a lead-in writing into the United Ma
tions charter provisions seeking to
guarantee human rights, without dis
tinction as to race, language, religion
or sex. This is big step in itself.
No one in his right mind expects the
mere writing of these provisions into
charter will assure their accomplish
ment overnight. But their adoption
as basic principles is an indication of
new thinking in the world.
The charter is honeycombed with
these provisions relating to the pro-
motion of human rights; they are not
merely included in preamble. Par
ticularly are they tied to the charters
provisions on economic and social. de-
velopment. The economic and social
council, which is to be made one of the
principal organs of the organizatio
will, it is said, set up commission for
the promotion of human rights. Pro-
vision is made for wide investigations
and wide recommendations on the
methods and means for developing the
acceptance of human rights, which have
been widely recognized already in some
countries, and recognized little if at
all in others. The hopeful thing is that
beginning is to be made.
X 4
Before a full recognition of human
rights can be attained it will be neces-
sary that political and economic rights
shall be established. The charter deals
with these, also, since they are prereoui-
sites of peace. 1t is time, it is urged,
that peoples and governments every
where recognize that the world has
reached a stage of interdependence,
where the complete independence of
nations is not the complete answer to
any problem. This is the antithesis of
the idea that the independence of all
peoples or countries is a final solution
of the worlds problems.
The United States Government is
promising to work actively for the pro-
motion of these rights both for its own
people and, through the international
organization. for all peoples. If other
great powers do as much, there Is still
hope for a large measure of success

Leuse-Lend and Russiu

11lele HAS Deen a LenQency IN
some quarters to read too much into
the fact that lease-lend shipments
to Russia are to be reduced. Com
ing at a time when the big Three"
are at odds on several issues, the
news lends superficial plausibility
to a lot of vague and rather loose
talk about tough" new American
policy toward Moscow, but whether
such a policy is in the making or
not, there is good reason to believe
that lease-lend developments have
little or nothing to do with it..
Actually, it is only natural that
shipments be trimmed down at this
time. Indeed, it is mandatory un-
der the law. for the war in Europe
is over and the Lease-Lend Act
specifically provides that no sup
plies be sent out beyond the point
OF military need-none at all for
relief, rehabilitation or reconstruct
ton. The statement just issued by
Acting Secretary of State Grew am
ply explains how the measure will
operate from this point on: Cd The
whole program will be subject to
review and readjustment; (2) all
countries fighting the japanese will
continue to receive aid up to the
amount deemed necessary, and 90

lend will remain in operation in the
European sphere to meet the Sc
curity problems of occupation.
Months before Germany's down.
fall, London and Washington joint
ly announced that lease-lend ship
ments to Britain probably would be
cut in half this year. Similarly,
as pointed out in Mr.. Crews state
ment, supply programs for such
countries as France and Belgium
are subject to change in the light
of the present situation. The Sub
stantial reductions" in prospect for
Russia are accordingly in keeping
with the overall picture. In one
way or another. every recipient
country faces adjustments in sup
plies now that the war is limited to
Japan, and it seems mistake in the
circumstances, to interpret the Rus
sian revisions as sign that we are
beginning to hold a big stick over
Marshal Stain.
It may well be, of course, that
American policy toward Moscow is
stiffening, but it would be strange
thing, indeed, if lease-lend were
used as one of the stiffening instru-
ments. Lease-lend, after all, is not
a diplomatic or a political project,
but military project. Under the
law that created it, it can be used
for no other purpose than to prose-
cute the war and promote the de-
tense of America, and now that the
Nazis have been defeated. the scale

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

SAN FRANCISCO, May ia bill
OF rights of all the peoples of the world
"a big order in any mans language
has been envisaged by Secretary of
State Stettinius as likely to evolve from
the United Nations organization. He
said specifically on this subject in one
Of his press conferences:
Il believe that when the organization
is established the Economic and So
cial Council, through the Commission
on Human Rights, should promptly un-
dertake to prepare an international bill
OF rights which can be accepted by all
the member nations as an integral part
OF their own systems of law, just as
our Bill of Rights has been an integral
part of our system of laws"
1t sounds utopian-or like a pious
hope. Certainly such an accomplish
ment-not the mere writing of a bill
OF rights for all peoples but its accep-
tance by all the governments of the
worlds a task that may require long
years. 1t is beyond all shadow of doubt

Some Progress, Anyhow

1t Is OF some satisfaction that the
Commissioners, through Mr.. Mason,
have at least reached the point Of
detailed disagreement with the
Board of Public Welfare on the cost
and nature of facilities to be pro-
vided in construction of a new Re-
ceiving Home and Classification
Center for Children.
The delay at the District Build
ing in reaching even that point is
simply incomprehensible, after all
these years of universal condemna-
tion of existing facilities-not mere
ly at the receiving home but in other
welfare institutions. 1t is incom-
prehensible that no agreement on
a postwar building program was
reached in time for presentation to
an extremely sympathetic and CO.
operative House subcommittee on
District Appropriations for in
clusion in the pending appropria-
tion bill.
What is the matter? The fault
does not lie with the organizational
setup under which there is some
division of responsibility between
the Board of Public Welfare and the
Commissioners. This is a natural
and logical division. 1t seems to lie
in a disinclination on both sides to
get together and work out what must
be done in the interest of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The Board of Public Welfare con-
tends that it has a plan for the nee
essary modernization of the Dis
trict's facilities for care of child
wards. The board has been criti-
cized in the past by the Commis-
sioners, who appoint its members,
for having no plan. A plan, finally
presented. is sharply disapproved by
Mr.. Mason, who feels that he will
be supported by his colleagues. All
of which is beginning to appear
aimless, childish and an incompe-
tent discharge of serious RESPONSE
bility.

tions of why nothing can be done
now.

very long, if they put their hearts
and minds to work, to reach agree

Correspondents and SHAEF

BY unIf1ed approach, the SHAEF
war correspondents in Paris may be
able to shed more light on a situa-
tion which is of considerable dis
comfort not merely to themselves
and their colleagues but to their
readers back home. With at least
four of their brethren disaccredited
for making unauthorized trips to
Berlin-two of them already have
been sent home-they express the
belief that American officials "have
done enough kow-towing to the Rus
slams" and they want some decisive
action taken that will produce recip-
rocal courtesies from the Russians
In exchange. for the privileges ac-
corded Russian correspondents ac-
credited to SHAEF.
There are two distinct questions
involved in the orderly rebellion of
the correspondents. One relates to
the disciplinary action taken against
the war correspondents by SHAEF
public relations officers. There are
about 800 correspondents accredited
to SHAEF and it is obvious that
regulations for their conduct-as
they are under Army protection and
fed, transported and housed by the
Army-must be established and COM
piled with. Without enforcement of
such regulations, the situation would
become chaotic, not merely for the
correspondents, but to the Army
which assumes some responsibility
for their safety.
But the other, and more important
question, involves the apparent dis
elimination against SHAEF corre-
spondents at the hands of the
Russians. Failure to insist success
fully on its removal is expressed by
the correspondents as kow-towing.
It was British and American avia-
tors who risked and gave their lives
in the aerial reduction of Berlin,
yet there Is as yet no authorized
opportunity either for the CORE
spondents or our air officers to re-
port to the American and British
people on the extent and nature of
what was done. Thousands of Amer
ican prisoners of war are still in the
zone assigned to the Russian armies.
Neither our correspondents nor the
American army authorities seem to
be able to obtain any adequate in
formation on their condition or to
