Conudo and World Politics

From the Quebec LAction Catholioue.
What will be Canada's role in the
future organization of peace and inter-
national security? What part will the
country play? These two questions are
of capital Importance, for interest in
the study of actual jundical problems
should not relegate to the background
the practical application of the prin-
ciples enunciated at Dumbarton Oaks.
Canada's attitude since the declaration
of war shows clearly enough that its
foreign policy lacks precision. In reality.
Ottawa has done nothing heretofore but
follow London and Washington. And
when in the past, for example, the
Canadian government permitted itself
to have ideas of its own on interna-
tional politics it advanced nothing con-
structive. In 1919, for example, Borden
pronounced himself to be strongly
against the collective security. Evidently
this novelty In international law exer-
cised very doubtful attraction, even in
the country where it was born. But cir
cumstances have changed. However, if
Canada cannot now get away from its
responsibilities it should not to any
great extent accept more of them than
it can answer for.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

Gen. Charles de Gaulle, his govern
ment and the controlled press in Paris
are as ill-tempered and confused as an
individual who wakes up after rest
less sleep full of nightmares
The French have .grudge against
the United States because they believe
America is giving them only half
hearted support and is not convinced
that France once more is big power
ready to play preponderant role in
both Europe and the Far East. They
are disgruntled with the British and
are not willing to play along with Lon
don's political plans in western Europe
because they feel that Britains influ-
ence in the world is not as great as it
once was. Gen. de Gaulle and his COM
munistic-l leaning foreign minister, Geor-
ges Bidault, were willing and anxious
to become Russia's principal lieuten-
ants in western and central Europe.
But since reports have arisen that
Premier Stain intends to establish his
handpicked Free Germany Committee
as the provisional government of Ger
many, the French leaders have become
nervous and uneasy and wonder wheth-
er they are not being left behind in the
postwar European plans.
This ill humor was manifested last
week in several statements in which
the head of the French government
clearly showed his discomfort at not
being invited to participate at the Big
Three meeting.
Gen. de Gaulle finds himself at the
head of country which for several
centuries has been the paramount mill
tary and intellectual power in Europe
1t is natural that he should not want
France to be treated as a poor cousin
by the Big Three nations-none of
which, according to the French, is
really European power.
X n
America is transient in European
affairs. Britain has a dual personality.
She is at the confines of Europe and as
such she has always been interested in
its politics principally with an eye to
keeping balance of power The might
of the British Empire has always been
thrown against the side which appeared
to wish to dominate the continent
But Britain's economic and financial
interests were always world wide and
she derived her strength from her vast

in trained fighting men. The total
number of German divisions now avail
able north of the Carpathians, exclusive
of those trapped in Latvia and East
Prussia, is about 1870. including recent
transfers from the western front The
Russians have about $50 divisions in this
area. Russian divisions average about
one-third stronger than German divi-
sions-possihly more.
2. The Russian reserves are very much
greater than the German reserves There
are at least three Russian Army groups
known to exist which are not engaged in
the present operations as far as is
known. The total number of Russian
divisions is probably not less than 400.
The total number of German divisions
on all fronts does not exceed 300 and is
probably rather less. This includes the
western and Italian fronts, Hungary,
Latvia, Norway and the Balkans.
3. Therefore, it is to be expested that
the Russians will make progresyin in their
offensive against a much weaker oppo-
nent. But it should be remembered
that great part of the Russian strength
must be held in reserve. The Russians
cannot use all their troops at once be-
cause they cannot supply such numbers
over the insufficient railways and bad
roads of Poland.
On the other hand, the Germans are
being pushed back on their very sources
of power, and they command, immedi-
ately behind the whole of the present
fighting front, the best railway system
and the most complete road net in all
Europe. The Germans can, therefore,
make the very best use of what forces
they have.
4. The Germans are playing for time.
They are making every sacrifice, not for
ultimate victory-which they can hardly
expect-but just to gain few more days
or weeks. Their one hope is centered in
divisions among the Allies-time may
bring such divisions about. Note care
fully the German tactics of obstruction
the desperate clinging to traffic centers
deep in the Russian zone of advance
such as Elbing, Poznan. Schneidemuhl,
Deutsch Krone
Consider the desperate block by block
defense of Budapest. The German high
command has plan; of that we may
be sure. It Is not plan for victory
in the east-ro chance of that. But it
is certainly = plan to bring about .
delay Of any decision in the east.

The Willy Nazi Radio
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

The German radio, which has for
two weeks been screaming frantically
about the imminent peril to Berlin and
providing the more sensational Ameri-
can press with some startling banner
headlines, is now taking a new tack.
Shifting its attention to the south
east, it is tremendously excited about
the deep Russian drive across the Oder
between Glogau and Breslau. 1t puts
the Russian not only in Liegnitz (the
evacuation of which town is officially
confirmed by the Russians) but the
German radio commentators are actu-
ally beginning to squall about a Rus
sian drive on Dresden.
Thus the Germans keep trying to
commit the Russians to objectives and
intentions which are certainly beyond
the immediate probabilities of the situ-
alton, in the hope that the American
and British public will get their hopes
too high and will then suffer a fresh
wave of disappointment when their
expectations are not Immediately met.
Thus the Germans hope to stir up
mutual distrust and uncertainty among
the peoples of the Allied nations. The
Germans know very well that states
men and governments come and go.
They know that what they really have
to fear for the future is sound basic
confidence and cooperation among the
peoples of the United States, Britain,
Russia, France and the other Allied
nations.
The Germans fear above all else
permanently organized world commu-
nifty, in which law-breaking can no
longer be profitable because the whole
community is organized to restrain 1t.
The Germans do not want to live as
peaceable members of such COM
munity.
* * X y
Therefore the Germans know that the
more false hopes they can stir up, the
more disappointments. they can bring
about the greater the swings they can
produce between optimism and peSsi-
mism over the end of the war. the
greater the general confusion OF mind
will be and the greater the lingering
effects and perhaps future recrim1na-
tions as between ally and ally.
The part of prudence, therefore, will
be for Americans to discount news from
German sources, or from neutral sources,
possibly inspired by German suggestions,
as to the progress OF the Russian armies.
Instead, we might well keep In mind
certain basic elements Of the military
situation along the Russian front:

DemoroIizing Display

The Stars weird story few days
ago of the corpse that lay at Wash
ington Airport while Virginia and
District authorities refused to receive
it has led to renewal of the perennial
dispute over Jurisdiction of the mo
Mans Land" created by Federal
ownership of new areas acquired by
the Federal Government on the
other side of the river Congress
seems as incapable of resolving this
controversy as it was in deciding
where to build the airport. Had it
not been for the Presidents decisive
action in that matter, the war would
have found us with no adequate air
port for Washington.
While the latest incident lends
dramatic color to the nature of the
jurisdictional dispute, there are more
important reasons why Congress
should act, and act now, to clear it
up once and for all.
Representative Randolph's bill,
which has been approved by the
Virginia Legislature and which re-
quires concurrent action by Congress
and Virginia to become effective, has
the support of the municipal author
tiles, the Department of Justice and
the Park and Planning Commission.

ference, agree upon a European solu-
ton reasonably satisfactory to each. i
we are to have an era of tranquilit.
following the German defeat.
But they must also find a solution
which in the observance will prove sat
isfactory to Europe. Some will compare
in their minds this meeting with the
council that determined the fate Of
France and of Bonaparte, the last
'tyrant of Europe" and there are SINH
larities in the situation. Then as now
a despot had arisen in Europe basing
his power upon people who had broken
with their historic traditions and lay
ing claim to the restoration under his
lead of the Empire of Charlemagne. 1t
is interesting to recall that Napoleons
claim to the dominion of Europe and.
through Europe, of the world, dated
back to the system on which Hitler
based his claim. Napoleon proclaimed
himself successor to the ancient Frank
ish Emperor, Charlemagne. creator of
the Holy Roman Empire; Hitler posed
as the successor to the same empire
called through its Hapsburg emperors
Holy Roman Empire of the German
Nation
Both men were defeated only through
the mobilization of all world powers
against them. Both had in the begin
ming fantastic victories. Both failed
through the tenacious opposition of
Britain and a disastrous attack on
Russia.
But there Is one profound difference
between the council that decided the
disposal of France and that which has
been deciding the fate of Germany.
The fate of Napoleon and France was
determined by concert of Europe. Be-

empire stretched over the seven seas.
Russia always has been considered by
the Europeans as a semi-Asiatic power
whose role has been confined to the
eastern sections OF Europe For several
centuries France was the predominant
European nation even II at times she
came off second best in conflicts with
her Teutonic enemies.
Consequently, it is hard for the
French government to reconcile itself
with the idea of playing second fiddle
to three mon European powers" which
have taken 1t on themselves to blue
print new map of the continent with
out so much as consulting the French
republic. 1t is humiliating and irksome
for the French government not to be
permitted to have even an observer at
the Black Sea meeting at which prob
lens concerning the political and eco
nomic future of Europe are settled
by the three mon European" nations.
What Gen. de Gaulle and his cabinet
fail to realize is that more than ever
before the world recognizes power alone.
And France has none.
X *x
1t is possible that Gen. de Gaulle may
have played his cards poorly, so far
as Britain is concerned He was created
by the British government without
whose help he would have been dis
carded long ago. But soon after he re-
turned to Paris as the head of the
government he rushed to Moscow,
anxious to enter into the Soviet political
zone of influence.
This is understandable. Gen. de Gaulle
and the rest OF the French became
aware of the great influence Russia
would WELD in Europe for at least two
generations Moreover, there has been
an undisguised ill feeling against the
British throughout France.
On his return from Moscow Gen de
Gaulle was cool toward the suggestions
from London that France sign a treaty
of alliance with Great Britain on the
same pattern as that signed with the
U. S. S. r. He kept the matter under
advisement" and it is still at that stage.
Gen. de Gaulle will be told of the role
the Big Three may have assigned to
France. But it is doubtful that he will
be treated with more than the usual
courtesy accorded to an old aunt who
was once beautiful, much courted and
wealthy, but no longer So

of Napoleon's generals and had been
put on the Swedish throne by him, had
switched sides and thus played a role
in the settlement. Furthermore Ma
poleon, whose rule had debauched the
French treasury, decimated the French
population, and destroyed every vestige
of French liberty, was eventually de-
serted both by French Bourbon royal
lists and French republicans and peace
was negotiated with anti-Napoleon
France represented in the person of
Taneyrand. Alexander's Russia, which
had come into Europe as a liberator,
later retired. Britain sought a Euro
pean peace on the basis of the previous
status quo, and French territory, de-
prived of all of Napoleons conquests,
was left intact.
In this war Germany under Hitler
has played the role of France under
Napoleon. The disposition of Germany
will eventually profoundly affect all
the people of the historic European
complex. Not only is the demand of
unconditional surrender" applied to
the tyrant and his nation-precluding
it would seem, that any German play
the role of Talleyrand-but the Ger
man fate is being decided without the
presence in the councils of single con-
tinental European western nation.
Yet whatever is determined affects
the future of Scandinavia with its
proximity to both Germany and Russia
1t affects the lowlands with their ira
ditional leanings toward Britain and
their nearness to Germany, also all the
East and Southeast European states
which have historically been bones of
contention between Western powers and
Russia and the near states including
neutral Spain and Portugal. And it
affects ever tragic Poland which, in
Napoleon's day as now spilled gallant
blood in the hope of independence and
remained, after his defeat and despite
the championship of Britain, disillu-
stoned. This time France will be the
first great state among Hitler,s victims.
This fact that decisions are being
reached without the presence of the
nations of Europe puts upon. the
shoulders of the Big Three awesome
responsibility. Their decisions will de-
termine whether they become the
saviors and rejuvenators of Europe or
the accellerators of its decline.

Wuqner Act Failure

A trial examiner for the National
Labor Relations Board has just an
nounced decision which conclu-
sively demonstrates the need for
amendment of the Wagner Act.
The case involves a three-way
controversy, the parties being the
National Broadcasting Company and
the Blue Network, the National AS
sociation of Broadcast Engineers
and Technicians, better known as
NABET, and the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, headed by James
c. Petrillo.
Last November the board certified
NABET as the bargaining agent for
record turner's employed by the
radio chains in all their stations ex-
cept in Chicago. This meant that
the chains were required by the
Wagner Act to bargain with the GER
titled union as the representative of
the record turner's. But Mr.. Petrillo
wanted his own union to represent
the employees, and he insisted that
the networks disregard the labor
boards certification of NABET. To
enforce his demand, and in spite of
the fact that the broadcasting COM
panies were required by the law to
deal with NABET, he has threatened
to order a series of wildcat strikes by
the musicians under his control. In
other words, if NBC and the Blue
Network comply with the law Mr..
Petrillo is threatening and is per-
haps capable of putting them out of
business.
The trial examiner does not deny
the claim of the broadcasting COM
panies that they will be subjected
to reprisals from Mr. Petrillo if they
bargain with NABET. He merely
says this: ''The board and the courts
have on many occasions denied the
validity of similar urged defenses to
charges of unfair labor practices.
The paramount and plain duty of
the companies in this situation was
to obey the mandate of the Congress
as expressed in the National Labor
Relations (Wagner) Act and to bar
gain with NABET."
AS the law stands, this probably is
the only decision that the trial ex-
aminer could have made. The fault
does not lie with him, nor even with
the board, but with the unwilling
ness of Congress and the admins
tration to amend a law which works
