From the st. Louis Post Dispatch
He stands before the Army War Col
lege in washington, weight thrown AFRO
gantly forward on the right foot, bladed
profile angling steeply back from pointed
nose to pointed chin and pointed hat.
One hand is planted firmly against the
small of his back, the other clenches
sword held like walking stick, point to
ground, pose as characteristic as the
affinity of the Napoleonic palm for the
Napoleonic chest. His stony gaze Is mar
row, stern and distant as If he looked
deep into hostile Austria or surveyed
those plains of Poland once his own.
And there he has Stood unscathed,
unscorned, unnoticed through the bitter
est of wars, at the portal of an insti-
tuition where men study the compound
science of defeating enemies in battle.
In 1918, when books were burned and
Beethoven was banned, a crude bomb
menaced his marble pedestal and he was
put away in safety for a while. This
time not even so much as a vandal in
itial has been scratched on the toe Of his
foot.
Once he was a monument to German
American accord, gift of the late Kaiser
to the Capital OF Theodore Roosevelts
day. Now he survives with unexpected
honor as a monument to American ma
turity, to the tolerance of having learn
ed to hate with reason, and without
hysteria, only those things which have
the vitality to destroy Harmless and
unhallowed In the heart of Washington,
there still stands Frederick the Prussian.

From the McPherson Kansas) Republican.
Are we ready to take care of our vet
Grams when they come home?
Time Is running short. A few already
have returned. Although the great ma
jority won't be home until Japan is
smashed, from now on there is likely
to be steady flow Of men returning to
pick up their civilian life.
There has been much discussion of
plans for helping these men. The Red
Cross, veterans organizations and civic
committees are all set to do their part.
AL in all, there seems to be plenty of
organization. plenty of machinery.
It's all good as far as it goes.
1t will fail utterly If the returning
soldier must deal entirely with some
impersonal bureau.
He needs friendliness. He needs the
assurance that every one Of us will be
glad to answer his questions, glad to
give him boost when he applies for
job.
Here is a challenging task for us stay
at-homes. The least we can do when
one of these men asks question is to
give him every help we can--give 1t
freely-make him glad he is home.

Where Greece Stands

Greece's position and prospects
were discussed last Thursday in
conversation between President
Truman and Mr.. SofianopouloS,
Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs,
who had come to Washington after
the conclusion of the San Francisco
Conference, where he headed his
country's delegation.
AS set forth in a statement by the
President, the conversation opened
with a discussion by the Foreign
Minister of certain aspects of the
United Nations Charter as it affects
the small nations, and the President
was pleased at his assurances that
Greece looked forward to a period
of international understanding and
security within the framework of
a united family of nations.
The President expressed his salts
faction with the Greek Govern
ment's recent notification to Tokyo
that Greece considered itself in a
state of war with Japan since its
severance of diplomatic relations the
day after Pearl Harbor, welcoming
this further evidence that the Greek
people, who SO bravely resisted Axis
aggression on their own soil. are
staunchly lined up with the Allies
in their determination to fight the
war against Japan to a victorious
conclusion. The President assured
his guest that the American people
would never forget the heroic atti-
tude of the Greek people nor the
sacrifices made by them in the COM
mon interest.
No country in Europe suffered
more cruelty than Greece, which was
first wantonly attacked by Fascist
Italy and heroically repelled that
dastardly attempt, only to fall vic
tim next year to the Nazi jugger-
naut, which ravaged and pillaged
the conquered land, leaving Its

of American troops. In the meantime,
he streamlined the Chinese high COM
mano He asked Chang to remove
number of generals who were either
uninterested in fighting a total war or
were venal or incompetent. He had no
difficulties in getting Chang to approve
his requests instantly.
The Stilwell road was completed and
more heavy supplies began to be sent
into Chungking. The Air Transport
Command was run more efficiently and
the transport planes were able to make
their return flights without drawing on
the limited gasoline supplies which ex-
listed in Chungking.
There was still good deal Of cor
ruption but it ceased to affect the i'm
mediate war effort. The younger Chinese
generals who were placed at the head
of the divisions were inspired by this
tireless American general who dealt
with them fairly and treated them as
his equal. The morale of the Chinese
Army rapidly improved from the top
down. All the men, regardless Of rank,
began to have more confidence in them
selves and realized that it was no more
costly to fight on the offensive than on
the defensive.
Supplies of all kinds, particularly
medical supplies, were distributed to-
those who needed them and the prac-
tice of a few high-ranking officers Of
selling them to those under their COM
mand ceased altogether
We day brought a further change
for better in the China theater. More
ships were released and while the bulk
of the war material was being sent to
the Pacific forces, a definitely increased
quantity of supplies was available to
the Wedemeyer forces.
Today the Chinese Army, with q
sprinkling of American troops and a
much improved air force, is waging an
offensive war. Gen. Wedemeyer hopes
that within the next few months-if
the necessary support is given him from
Washington this rejuvenated army
which has already shown its mettle
will become very important asset in
the Pacific campaign and will be able
to play really important role in the
defeat of the Japanese

A Minor Deprivation

No one should be surprised by the
new order of the Office of Defense
Transportation banning sleeping car
accommodations on train trips of
$50 miles or less. AS President Tru-
man pointed out a few weeks ago,
victory in Europe and the concen-
tration of our full might against
Japan have imposed upon the
Nations railroads the task of carry
ing, within matter of months, a
traffic load roughly equivalent to
that carried in period of more
than three years for the war against
Germany. This speaks pretty much
for itself; quite obviously, until the
situation eases late this year or
early next, many of the normal COM
forts of civilian travel must be dis
penSed with.
The sleeping car order. which will
add almost 900 Pullman sleepers to
those already available for exclu-
Sive military use. is wholly under
Standable when considered in rela-
ton to the fact that troop travel
is now reaching unprecedented
peaks and probably will not begin
to decline for long time to come.
First of all. there are the men being
demobilized into civilian life. They
are being discharged at a rate of
about 250.000 a month. most of
them from overseas. Next, there
are many hundreds of thousands
who are to be redeployed against
Japan, the bulk of them to be routed
through this country for some
retraining and to enjoy brief fur
loughS for visits home. On top of
this, there are the constant inter
camp movements of non-veteran
forces being procesSed for action in
the Pacific. All told, according to
authorities, our railroads are thus
faced with the gigantic job of car
rying, along with unusually heavy
ClNIlldll III d1IlC, GOCdl VI dDOuG
100000 soldiers monthly for a
period of several months.
In the circumstances, the ban on
"short-run" sleeping cars seems a
relatively mild measure. Actually,
since parlor Pullmans will still be
available for civilians willing to pay
for extra comfort, it should cause
no extraordinary inconvenience. In
any event, nom military travellers will
have to put up with it as a depri-
vation incomparably less trying than
the deprivations SO cheerfully en-
dured by the millions of young
Americans in uniform. Civilians,
indeed, will have reason to count
themselves lucky if the ODT does
not have to take more drastic steps
later on, such as rationing travel.
The best way to avoid that-as the
sleeper restrictions suggests for
all of us to think twice before taking
any trip that is less than necessary.

New Economy Move

President Truman has given
further demonstration of economy
mindedness in his unusual memo
randum to agency heads stressing
"the necessity of extreme care in
the handling of Government funds"
and calling for disciplinary action
where wastage is disclosed
After years in which economy was
a forgotten word, this is hearten-
ing and augurs well for the future.
Government expenditures must be
maintained at high level for some
time to come in order to bring the
war against Japan to speedy as
well as successful conclusion, but
there can be no doubt, from Mr..
Trumans present approach, that as
soon as reduction becomes possible
1t will be made. President Truman
already has said that taxes cannot
be cut until Japan is whipped, and
it may be said with assurance that
once this has happened there will be
concerted demand from the tax
paying public-and responsive
Congress-for reduction of the tax
burden, which, of course, will neces-
state a drastic reduction in ex-
penditures.
This brings to mind the fact that
Congress has done nothing yet with
regard to the Presidents request for
reorganization legislation that would
enable him to mold the executive
branch of the Government back into
reasonable proportions. 1t will
hardly be denied that the mush-
rooming of agencies in recent years
has made for waste, and if effective
saving is to be accomplished, it will
be necessary for Congress to furnish
the tools with which the Chief
Executive can work.

Eclipse Experience

Today'S eclipse was partial only
In Washington. Residents of the far
Northwestern part of the Union, get
ting up before breakfast, saw the
"greater orb" completely covered
momentarily by the lesser" Their
fellow citizens to the south and east
must be content to read about the
total spectacle. But that they will
be interested in press reports of the
phenomenon is assured. No other
drama of the heavens has a greater
attraction for the human mind.
Hundreds of centuries passed be-
fore the observation of one planet
by another first was explained. The
Stole philosopher Anaxagoras of
Klazomenae is credited with the
discovery about 450 BIC. But not
everybody believed him. NiciaS sac
rified the whole Athenian army at
Syracuse to his superstitious dread
of the lunar eclipse of August 27,
Alb. Yet it is a matter of history
that Egyptian astronomers under
stood such events we'll enough to
describe approximately twelve hun
dred of them with scientific ac-
curacy before 1923 BIC. The Baby
lonians, according to Ptolemy, kept
records of eclipSes as far back as
721. Sir Henry Rawlinson says that
there is a tablet from Nineveh in
the British Museum in London re-
porting a celestial "blackout" on
June Is, 763 BIC. There is a refer
ence in Herodotus to an eclipse
which interrupted battle between
the Medes and the Lydians at an un-
settled date between 610 and 585.
Josephus suggests that the terrify-
ing darkness which ensued upon
the death of Jesus on the Cross
above Jerusalem was the eclipse of
April 8, SO AID.
Modern dissertations are publi-
cized we'll in advance of their oc-
currence. Mathematicians figure
that there may be as many as seven
eclipSeS in a single year and -four
of them will be solar" The same
authorities insist: There cannot be
less than two; if but two, they will
be solar" rather than lunar. AS
early as July, 1871, it was announced
that except on August IL, 1899, no
total eclipse of the sun will be visible
In England for two hundred and
hfty years. Yet despite the proven

accuracy Of calculations feasible to
any educated individual, the spec
tacle of stars shining at 10 o'clock
in the morning-as Camden tells
they did in 1191-still frightens
multitudes of people. An eclipse is
eerie. Watching one, the average
person feels a curious reaction of
bewilderment. The Jamaica Indians,
who were awed by the darkening of

1904, were brothers and sisters

people a prey to mass starvation
and disease during more than three
years of brutal occupation. The
wounds of that tragic period still
bleed, and problems Of rehabilitation
and reconstruction are crucially
urgent. The President assured his
visitor of the sincere interest of the
American Government in seeing
Greece's economic life restored to
normal and its desire to facilitate
this process through UNRRA and in
other ways.
This friendly visit at the White
House undoubtedly heartened the

The Polish Protest

Whatever its purpose may have
been, the effect of Ambassador Jan
Ciechanowski's public statement on
the recognition of the Warsaw Pol
ish regime is to appeal to the Amer
ican people from a decision of the
American Government. This is an
unusual thing for a foreign diplo-
matte representative to do, and 1t
is difficult to see wherein it serves
any constructive end.
To say this is not to imply that
the sentiments prompting Mr..
Ciechanowski's protest are beyond
understanding. On the contrary,
some of his misgivings are shared
by many Americans, who feel less
than satisfied with the manner in
which the Polish question has been
settled. But it is one thing to enter
tain doubts while seeking the best
solution that can be obtained, quite
another to permit the same or
similar doubts to operate as a bar
to any settlement.
Mr.. Ciechanowski, who served as
Ambassador to the United States
from the London Polish govern
ment in exile, from which recogni-
ton has been withdrawn as a result
of the Yalta Conference, has re-
leased for publication a protest to
the State Department in which he
says that the recognition of the War
saw Polish government amounts to
recognition of the suppression of
Poland's independence and of the
foreign rule which is already being
exercised there in actual fact" He
also says, in an accompanying
statement, that Poland has been
left under the continued uncon-
trolled occupation of a foreign
power which is imposing upon her
government and a political, eco
nomic and social system alien to
her" This amounts to saying that
the United States has been a party
to the suppression of Poland's
independence, and if one accepts
Mr.. Ciechanowskis premises his
conclusion should be accepted, too.
1t is undoubtedly true that, in a
limited sense, the Poles have not
the freedom of action that goes
with literal independence. They are
not free, for instance, to set up a
government in Poland that would
be hostile to Russia, nor are they
free to adopt policies that would
constitute a threat to Russian
security. And there is not the
slightest thing that either Mr..
Ciechanowski or the Government Of
the United States could have done
to alter that situation. But 1t does
not follow from this that Mr..
Ciechanowski is right in his appar-
ent inference that Poland also has
lost that measure of independence
which would be consistent with the
maintenance of good relations with
the USSR. OF course, events may
yet prove this to be the case, but
the fact is not evident now, and 1t
is significant that Polish leaders
who are not puppets of Moscow have
joined the new government.
Presumably, they take the real
iStic view that Polands one hope
is to work out her salvation within
the area of freedom that is left to
her and under the conditions
which actually prevail in the home
land Mr.. Ciechanowski, and the
considerable number of Poles for
whom he speaks, are unyieldingly
opposed to the adoption Of this
course. 1t is significant, however,
that while outspoken in their op-
position to what is being done, they
apparently have nothing to suggest
in the way of a concrete and feasible
alternative.
