and roads and communications,
facilities and even supplies.
This is very different situation
from that which would exist if the
war were over, the four national
armies each settled down in its
own zone of occupation, and gen
eral policies were laid down by an
Allied control council for the mill
tary government of the defeated
enemy. It would appear as if we
were going to have period OF
joint administration of Germany
for the purpose of conducting the
war before we can concentrate, as
our original plans supposed, on the
problem of administering Germany
as a defeated nation.
=
This may have profound effect
on the character of the coalition.
Thus far it may be said that the
Anglo-Americans have been COM
bined and then allied and co-ordi-
mated with the Soviets. If we now
have to wage war on common
fronts, the relationship with the
Soviets, both in military and po-
itical matters, will need to be
nearer to a combined rather than
to merely co-ordinated action.
That is a much closer relationship
than has existed hitherto when al
most everything of any impo--
lance has had to be arranged dip
lomatically via London, Moscow,
and Washington, and when the ar
engagements became too snarled
up, things were Strengthened out
personally by the big Three. >"
Cooperation at the highest level
has been reasonably satisfactory
until now. But with the merging of
the fronts, there will have to be
cooperation at many lower levels
or there will surely be confusion
and trouble.
The military situation will in
fluence political ideas. The situa-
ton will be one which can no
longer be dealt with at arm S
length. The safety of the troops
the success of the operations. will
demand much closer partnership
in the daily administration of
practical affairs. It will not per-
nit a mere collaboration at dis
lance. We shall be working, NOV
ing, and fighting in the same terri
tory, and as a result the alliance
will be put to the acid test: either
it will be more intimate than it
has been, Or it will be strained to
the breaking point.
It is reasonable to say that this

actual situation was not foreseen
at the Dumbarton Oaks confer
ence and at Yalta. The dispute
about the voting formula shows it,
so it seems to me. The Soviet in
sistence upon an explicit right OF
veto on the functions of the inter-
national organization rested on a
fea,. that Russia will be isolated in
the world organization, and that
an ironclad guarantee is necessary
against using 1t to form a world
wide anti-Soviet combination. On
the other hand, the objection
which exists in most countries to
the veto rests on a fear that the
Soviets will use it to paralyze any
opposition to anything the Soviets
may wish to do.
That this is the underlying issue
is plain when we realize that none
of the other powers, though they
are quite jealous about sovereign
ty, would now demand the veto for
itself if the Soviets had not made
an issue Of it. This does not mean
that Great Britain Or the United
States has any more intention
than has the Soviet Union of suI
jecting its vital interests to -
majority vote of large collection
of other governments. It means
that, as matter of fact, they feel
so sure of their position and Of
their influence in the councils OF
the nations that they do not wish
or need to have it spelled out ex-
plicitly in black and white.
No one can blame the Kremlin
for feeling less confidence and
more distrust. But what one can
say is that as a matter of fact
the power and influence Of the So.

established that no formula OF
words about voting and vetoes can

meeting a growing criticism of the
party from among Negro Party
leaders, it is learned here.
While none of them is willing to
be quoted, it is freely said that the
party came out of the campaign
with an unspent balance of close
to $350,000, is now raising another
$4,000 around the country, all to
conduct continuing drive to carry
off the 1916 congressional elections.
This money is being spent, it is
said, but none has been apropriat-
ed for work among Negro voters.
BROWNELL CRITIZED
Brunt of the criticism is being
directed at Chairman Herbert Brow
nell. He is now on all 11-state tour
in the interest of the party.
When the national committee met
in Indianapolis last January, the
national committeeman from Mis-
sisppi, Perry Howard, laid out a
set of proposals calling for the al
location of adequate funds, the ap-
pointment of the people to key
posts, all to the end of including
Negroes to vote Republican.
The proposals., which had the
backing of other Negro Republicans,
were turned down and nothing has
been said or done since. While
there is no threat of boiling, voiled
or otherwise, the unpleasant atti-
tude among the party leaders can
not hope to be useful in raising the
party's fortunes next year.

in The world peace conference,
groundwork for which is being
layed now in the big Three" con-

These claims previously have been
reported to include:
i. Annexation or the Italian

g. FUN control and outright
ownership of the Ethiopian
