matter in which the United States has
been Vltally interested. 1t had to be
framed so as not to interfere with the
claims OF this country to essential mill
tary and naval bases in the Pacific-and
elsewhere. At the same time, it was
necessary to frame the program SO that
1t would not break down the authority
OF the overall international organiza-
tlon. II was important, too, to lay the
groundwork for humane administration
OF dependent peopleS-With a promise
held out to them of future self govern
ment and independence if and when
they are able to stand on their own feet.
The job has been well done
Comdr. StaSsen, too, had his part in
another difficult problem-that of writ
ing amendments to the regional agree
mentS" provision of the charter. He
insisted from the start that these pro-
visions relating to regional agreements
and the activities of regional groups
should not impair or break down the
international organization. In other
words, there should not be so many
exemptions that the result would be
lot OF independent groups, destroying
central authority and opening again
the way to power politics and interna-
tlonal alliances reviving old balances
OF power" throughout the world. The
result has been compromise. which
gives regional groups, like the inter-
American, the right to act in self-de-
fense if an attack is actually made. but
still looking to the international or
ganization to prevent in the first in
stance aggressive wars.
The political future of Comdr Stassen
is still a closed book. He is not here
as Republican-but as an American.
When he accepted appointment to this
conference, he said he considered it a
political liability" Whether it turns
out to be liability or an asset will
depend upon the attitude of the Ameri-
can people toward the international or
ganization, once it has been framed and
established. But if Comdr. Stassen's
name is presented to the next Repub-
lican National Convention for the Presi-
Dental nomination of his party, it will
have an opportunity to pass upon the
availability" of strong, clear-headed
American with outstanding qualities of
leadership.

Maritime Day

This is the day set apart for
remembrance of the services OF
they that go down to the sea in
ships" as civilians cooperating with
the Army and the Navy of the
United States. 1t is proper, of
course, that some such observation
of the Merchant Marine should be
included in the calendar of the
Nation. Approximately 225,000 men
and boys are working at the un-
finished task of moving supplies to
troops in Europe and in the Western
Pacific. More than 5000 are known
to have been killed or are missing
and presumed to be dead. About
5000 have been manned. The price
which the personnel of the American
maritime establishment has paid for
victory and liberty thus is shown
to have been high. And the end
is not yet.
To understand exactly what the
Merchant Marine signifies, a perusal
of Bernard Brodie's "Layman's Guide
to Naval Strategy" is recommended.
"If the chief purpose of a navy is
control of sea-borne transportation"
he says, "the vehicles of such trans
portation must be considered not as
incidental to sea power but as an
essential part of it. 1t would be as
unreasoning to consider sea power
in terms of warships alone as it
would be to consider railroad trains
in terms solely of locomotives"
The same authority then proceeds
to explain the part played by the
Merchant Marine in the transferring
"over water of land and air forces
and their supplies to those areas
where they may be used effectively
against enemy forces. This may
mean bringing an army to a hostile
coast, which is sea-borne invasion,
