pei us 10 ADMIT tnat, IN reality, the
alleged unity that has existed be-
tween ourselves and our Allies
Great Britain and Russia, is only
an ugly offspring born of the neces-
stiles OF our mutual peril. that ac-
tually this new-found harmony was
the result Of an international shot
gun wedding.
How else can We explain a con-
t1nuation of present policies on the
part of our Allies which appeared to
a growing portion of international
opinion as though they were saying
to each other, Garry on; take what
ever territory you like; change from
tiers to suit your whims and fancies:
swap minorities and populations to
your hearts content: interfere in
the international affairs of what
ever governments you wish; we'll
talk about principles after we've
carved up the world to suit our
selves" -
Declaring that the partition of
Poland now going on was evidence
OF this determination to carve up
Europe, Senator Wheeler said, 1T is
not being unrealistic for me to recall
to mind historical realities which
prove our alleged wartime unity has
been nothing but an expedient. 1T
Is not unrealistic for me to protest
the continuation on the part of my
own Government and my own peo-
Pile OF policies which our whole
history proves will lead to disaster
There are those who are irritated
that I should continue to fight the
extension of power politics, both
actual and threatened, into the So
called peace They wanted to get
right down to the bloody business
and be done with this fol-de-rol. To
them again 1 say, such q cost is
sheer madness"
Way to Gain Enmity.
The Montana Senator said there
are those now SO sick Of the problems
arising out of this war that they
are now openly urging "let Europe
fall into the hands of Stain"
He said, They argue in this vein:
England and France have never
been able to prevent the outbreak
OF war in Europe; let Stain have
hand To them I would say. in the
words OF another, They are now
willing to settle for a nickel on
dollar, and they are not so sure but
what even the nickel is plugged
Certainly if America wants to gain
the everlasting enmity of $50 900. 900
people in Europe, this is the way to
do it."
Senator Wheeler said that not
only Germany. but also Russia, has
been responsible for the tragic
plight of vast numbers of "so-called
liberated" people. He said that de-
portations attributed to Russia in
clude $1,000 Estonians, 10000 Lat
vians, $1,000 Lithuanians and
l,5O0, 600 Poles, Jews and others from
Poland, all of whom have been
forcibly removed from their coun-
tries.
Personally, am convinced" SEN
ator Wheeler said, there is no pos
slble moral ground upon which
Americans can condone their asso-
ciates and Allies for doing what
they condemn in others"
Fraught With Danger.
Discussing his proposal for
United Nations political council to
provide for the democratic settle
ment of territorial questions that
have arisen, Senator Wheeler said
the questions now arising in Europe
are so fraught with danger to the
postwar world they ought not to be
left to the discretion of any one
nation for settlement. He said that
the situation which has arisen in
Yugoslavia, where Russia is domi-
mating the situation, is similar to
that in Poland.
Mr.. Wheeler charged that eve

try in Europe. We are DESTROYING
the middle class and the economic

In support of his proposed fed
Grafton Of European nations, Sena-
tor Wheeler said Il believe there is
no nation in Europe that either
could or would dare to attack its
neighbor states, one by one, if they
were anited by federal ties. Europe.
In this modern age, cannot remain

Actually, to follow such a policy

have fought this war merely to re-
