Naturalization in France

Like the Bank of England, the
Bank of France now is to become
nationalized. The French Constit-
uent Assembly, by vote of SCI to s.,
has voted overwhelmingly in favor
of legislation to take this bank, to-
gether with four others, out of pri-
vate hands. The action does not
come as surprise. Apparently re-
flecting popular sentiment, it has
long been anticipated as part of the
De Gaulle Specialization program.
Established as a private institu-
ton in 1900. the Bank of France has
not been nearly SO significant in
international finance as the much
older Bank of England. BY making
it and four major deposit banks the
instruments of the government, the
Constituent Assembly has effected a
financial reform whose chief impor-
lance seems to bear on the country's
internal economy rather than on its
external dealings. For the time
being at least. other French banking
enterprises will continue to be pri-
vately operated, the Assembly hav-
ing needed General de Gaulle's ap-
peal to limit the scope Of its action
lest the country's export trade be
impeded.

this instance does not mean confis-
cation. The stockholders OF the

Republicans make winning campaign

House OF Representatives, on a straight
out antlradlcal issue, the more conserva-
tive wing may be in the ascendancy.
The new national policy committee
OF the national committee. composed
OF seven members, is directed to obtain
suggestions and ideas from all Repub-
means, Governors, State leaders and
local leaders, and to talk them over
With the Republican members of Con-
gress. Presumably Chairman Brownell
Will set time limit for a report bv
tnls committee so that its statement
may be used, in connection with the
program already laid down by the Re-
publicans in Congress, as platform
IN the elections next year. This COM
m1ttee, therefore, will be in position
either to further emphasize the con-
sentative position Of the party, or to ease
up and permit more progressive ideas
to filter in.
Chairman Brownell for a long time
hoped for an affirmative statement of
policy by the Republicans bill of
goods to sell to the voters in the coming
elections. 1t was real job getting the
Republicans in Congress to take an
interest in such a statement-many of
them were lukewarm. Former Senator
John Danaher of Connecticut, now head
OF the national committees liaison with
the Republicans on Capitol Hill, PLAYED
a foremost part in arousing their inter
est In writing program.
That program, after study, was highly
praised by the great majority of the
national committee members-even bv
some who had been skeptical at the
start. The move for a special commit
Zee OF the national committee itself tn
proceed even further with the program
was welcomed by Chairman BroWnell
The minority, in between national con-
Ventlons and campaigns, has never had
an agency to enunciate a policy pro-
gram. 1t has left itself in a position
merely critical-which has not been 50
good. The majority party, on the other
side has its policy handed to it bv the
President in the White House. an affirm
atlVe policy-which is always an ad-
vantage
The hope of Mr. BrowneIl and other
Republicans is that the new Republican
program will be made concrete through
the introduction in Congress- of bills
embodying the policies which the Re-
pIblicans support.

Bank of France are to receive what

eminent bonds equivalent to their
former share of ownership. The
change may seem drastic to Ameri-
cans, but in the general French view
1t is merely one of several expected
steps in a program of expanding
Specialization which may next affect
the country's electrical industry.
From the standpoint of the United
States, all this is significant pri-
marily as further evidence of how
Europe is moving more and more
toward what we broadly describe as
the left" The trend is marked not
only In France and Britain, but else
where as well. It is not for nothing
that we must now regard ourselves
as being relatively the most con-
sentative major nation in the world.
The situation is a unique one. and
In time 1t will almost certainly create
serious problems in our own free

SO we can be much safer if we have

than we can if we have a STRUGGLING

trade and finance, working at cross
purposes with us. Military and political
partnership won't last long unless there
is economic cooperation, too.
No, I don't mean the British should
give us bases here and there. What I
mean Is that we and the British should
continue the system of full military CO.
operation which won this war, and we
should keep the Combined Chiefs of
Stah to make plans and study the posi-
bilities of the future
But, some critics will say, isn't this
business of partnership with Britain
really dividing of the world into two
blocs? Isn't it ganging up on the Soviet
Union? Not at all. It's Just a fact of
life that the United States and the
British Commonwealth are drawn to-
gether, that they have in fact become a
political, military and an economic
unity.
It is natural consequence of natural
causes, and we are merely recognizing
natural facts when we create a Com

suit with each other about a common
approach to atomic energy control be-
fore consulting any one else, or when we

ways; they benefit not only the peoples
Immediately concerned, but all the

For they are not of the nature of an
alliance directed against an enemy.
They are for the purpose Of enabling

world security. to implement by their
acts their profound conviction that the
security of one Is the security Of all.

This Changing World
BY Constantine Brofpn

When Secretary of State Byrnes goes
to Moscow this week for new confer
ences Of the Big Three Foreign Minis
tiers, he will carry with him revived
hopes OF settling the problems of the
major powers, although he will not
have the on-the-scene support of China,
and the French are disgruntled over
not receiving bid to the meeting.
Since before the Potsdam Conference
to which they were not invited-the
Chinese have remained in the back
ground insofar as European matters
are concerned. They have been careful
not to arouse the Russians to the point
OF further interference in the Far East.
although they have been on the side
OF the United States in every effort we
nave made to stabilize peace in the
world.
AS for the French, Gen. de Gaulle
and his ministers are reported to have
said that they would not recognize any
decisions taken at the Forthcoming Mos
cow sessions They are irked because
they were not invited, and, too, they well
know that there is little chance the Big
Three Foreign Ministers will back down
and give France a greater share in the
administration of Germany.
While Mr.. Byrnes is, of course. ex-
tremely interested in the European
situation, he will concentrate chiefly on
the Far East in his discussions with
Russia at Moscow
He has great hope that he can
make Commissar Molotov understand
the workings of our policies in Europe
and the Far East
Mr.. Byrnes has encountered great
difficulty in the past in his discussions
with Mr.. Molotov, as witness the break
down OF the London Foreign Ministers
Conference. In the new talks he is
expected to offer the stern and stub
born commissar further concessions in
Europe in exchange for Russian agree
ment not to interfere with our plans in
the Far East.
4
In addition, Mr.. Byrnes will have on
his side OF the argument the vast credit
resources of the United States-some-
thing Russia, as well as the rest of the
world, vitality needs in the immediate
years ahead
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-11

Mr.. Byrnes is convinced that the UNO
will be able to function as a real or
ganization for peace only after the
immediate problems which are creating
frictions. among the Big Three have
been ironed out.
The end Of the war caught us with
out traditional policy" SO far as
Europe was concerned But while we
were amateurish in the great outlines
OF policy in Europe, we followed real
istic policy toward China.
At the London Conference Mr.. Molo-
tov demanded an entering wedge for
the Russians in the Pacific. After hav-
Ing obtained at Potsdam the surrender
OF the Kurile Islands, the Soviet govern
ment demanded the right to have equa,
representation in Japan with a right to
veto the decision Of the Allied supreme
commander. In China the Russian gov
eminent, after having signed 30-year
treaty OF amity with Chiang's central
government, is said to have surrep-
tiously aided the Yenan group, led by
Chinese Communists thoroughly trained
and 1ndoctrinated in Moscow.
X
Mr.. Byrnes is said to believe that the
AS4cSo"o oCo 1oi I'LL Ny SOuilIllSSdI MOlO-
tov are merely talking point to per-
suade the United States to abandon
Europe to its own fate.
In exchange for our withdrawal of
the now platonic requests for free cleo
lions in countries where one-sided elec-
lions have already taken place, it might
be possible to get the Russians to be-
come satisfied with only token" par
ticipation in the control of Japan and
abandon their Communist friends in
Yenan altogether.
In other words. some of our policy
trainers believe 1t is still possible to
effect deal whereby We would with
draw from Europe entirely and obtain
from Russia promise to keep her hands
of the Far East. Such a deal might
put an end to the present wrangling
among the two major world powers.
Besides the political argument, there
Is also powerful military argument in
favor OF the thesis of those who believe
that an agreement with Russia is pos
slble without our surrendering COM
pletely to their dynamic policy.

Veterans and CONGRESS

In some of the debate on proposals
to appropriate large additional sums
for housing and disqualification of
war veterans, Congress has begun to
exhibit symptoms of an old weak
ness, dating back to World War I
days. It is a reluctance, amounting
almost to utter helplessness, to cast
a negative vote against any bill pur-
porting to be "for the veterans"
This ailment became almost cpl
demic in 1919 and the early twenties,
as many old timers will recall. Re-
Gently, for example, the House over
rode it's Appropriations Committee
and, after only IS minutes of discus
sion. tackled an amendment on the
deficiency bill calling for millions of
dollars additional for specialization
of veterans, although the committee
argued that present facilities are
adequate to take care of immediate
needs. The debate on the floor CEN
tered largely around the possibility
of making use of abandoned Army
and Navy facilities for veterans pur-
poses, although the Veterans Ad-
ministration has declared that many
OF these wartime installations are
not suitable for the rehabilitation
program.
Actually, it may be inferred from
statements of Veterans Administra-
ton officials, Congress would be
doing the veterans disservice by
converting many of the military and
naval facilities into veterans hospi-
tails, as some advocates of the addi-
tional appropriations proposed. This
is not only because there are not
enough physicians to man such in
stitutions, but, as Major General
Paul R. Hawley, acting surgeon gen.
eral, Veterans administration, in
formed the House Committee on
Veterans Legislation. most of the
Army and Navy hospitals involved
are far removed from the larger
cities and hence not easily accessible
to specialists practicing in the urban
centers. Since it is too much to ex-
pect these specialists to come to re-
motely located veterans hospitals,
the logical alternative is to establish
the hospitals in or near the large
cities, where the much needed ser
vices of specialists may be obtained
at least on part-time basis.
This does not mean that veterans
hospitals will not be required in
some of the smaller communities.
The less elaborate institutions will
be equipped to render routine treat
ment, passing complicated cases to
the large medical centers, under the
Veterans1 administrations program.
But the small facilities should be
carefully planned and carefully
placed-not set up merely to justify
the continued existence of installa-
lions found necessary by the de-
mands of the war emergency

What Is Good for Us

Commenting on a statement by a
witness at hearing yesterday that
at least 30 per cent of the people of
the District are opposed to the So
called fair trade practices bill and
that therefore it should not be
enacted, Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee took issue
with the claim and observed that
1t Is not what the people want,
but what is good for them. For
example, the people here want the
right to vote, but we know that it
is not good for them"
The people Of Washington deeply
appreciate this statesmanlike assur-
ance from Senator Bilbo that the
determination of what is good for
them is best left to himself and
others whom a mysterious provi-
dence has placed in power. Some
times they are assailed by foolish
doubt. Sometimes they are dis
turbed by the thought that they,
alone OF all the otherwise qualified
citizens of the United States, are
denied the right to speak for them
selves. Sometimes they wonder at
the sincerity of those who send our
sons out to die in distant lands for
the principle of self determination,
while cynically denying that the
principle applies at home.
But now these doubts and fears
have been put at rest. The people
OF Washington, on this sunshiny
winter day, can 60 about their
affairs in blissful confidence that
all is right with the world and their
future is secure. For Senator Bilbo
has proclaimed from his throne that
he knows what is best for them, and
what the royal 1--WE" decides is, and
will be.
