Back to Potsdum

Inc UrlpdrClCe conference is IN
session again after the temporary
recess to receive the British election
returns. The outcome was prob
ably as much of surprise to the
American and Russian delegations
as it seems to have been to the vic
torious British Laborites them
selves. And, of course, the dis
appearance of Winston Churchill
and his Foreign Secretary, anthony
Eden, in favor of Clement Attlee
and Ernest Bevin means more than
a mere shift of personalities. 1t
signifies not merely new British
approach to the problems under
discussion at Potsdam, but also a
subtle alteration in the character
of the conference itself.
That change, of course, began
with the demise of President Roose-
welt, but the disappearance of Win
ston Churchill from the diplomatic
scene completes the transformation
of the conference from the "Olym-
plan Club" atmosphere of Teheran
and Yalta, where the emphasis was
on the Big Three" as dominating
personalities, to the relatively i'm
personal nature of the Potsdam
Conference, with its emphasis on
complex and difficult problems of
postwar reconstruction rather than
the dramatic and Soul-Stirring tasks
of war. There is nothing super
mannish" about either Prime Min
lister Attlee or President Truman.
Both typify the democratic tradi-
ton of chief executives who are
elected servants" of their respec-
tive peoples.
Furthermore, neither Attlee nor
Truman has been long identified
with nor deeply versed in foreign
affairs. This means that both rely
more than did their predecessors
on their foreign ministers and tech
nical advisers. That fact, in turn,
throws the spotlight of public in
terest on the new British Minister
for Foreign Affairs. In striking
contrast to the career diplomat" ;"
Anthony Eden, Ernest Bevin has
spent most of his life as trade
union official dealing with domestic
and economic matters rather than
with foreign policies. However, his
interest in the foreign scene goes
back to the prewar period, when he
played a role in the Labor party
somewhat analogous to that of
Churchill with the Conservatives.
In those days the Tory attitude OF
"appeasement" found its counter
part in Labor "paciflsm, typif1ed
by George Lansbury, which sought
to avoid war at almost any price.
The bull-voiced Bevin literally
roared down Lansbury with his
challenging slogan: Give 1tler
'ell!" Thus the Labor party rallied
Fundamentally to ChurchillS un-
compromising leadership in the
wartime coalition government,
wherein Bevin did yeoman service.
His approach to the foreign scene
is revealed by his public statement
on the eve of his appointment that
he thought blunt Lancashire" bet
ter than polished diplomatic
phrases" in the new world of in
ternational relations and that the
new Labor government intends to
speak "as common men to common
men of other nations"

will be no intra-party strife. And even
if this does not develop, he will still
have his hands full coping with a vast
complex of war and peace problems and
with the opposition certain to greet mucn
of his program. But although he has

writer recently expressed it. "he can

world should find 1t more than inter-
esting to watch the leftward progress

We do not pretend to be an au-

We never ran an allied conference

part. Could be, however, that if the
Government saw fit to include few
really flrst-class horse traders in our
delegation that the average citizen
would be less concerned about the
results.

This may seem shocking to some
Americans. Yet it is worth noting that
a good part of Labor's projected pro-
gram-respecting coal mines, for exam
ple-has already been adopted by the
Conservatives. 1t Is worth noting, too,
that Labor's Socialist leadership, follow
ing n-Marxian doctrines far different
from Communism, has in mind the kind
of government long in operation in
Australia. New Zealand and the Scandi-
navian countries. Also noteworthy is
the fact that the party-which prides
itself on representing all classes in
Britain, much more so than the Con-
servatives-is merely wing of the gen.
eral labor movement and that most
British trade unions are not particularly
ardent about its Socialist direction
The party itself, moreover, is not with
out its actual or potential divisions AS
its leader since 1885, Mr.. Attlee has had
to steer middle course between left
wingers and right-wingers His rela-
tionship with Prof. Harold Laski, one
of the more radical Labor officials, seems
none too friendly. Only two years ago,
for instance, referring to Mr.. Attlee.
the latter declared that the party "re-
spects his integrity but finds him unin-
spring and uninteresting," and there
have been other more recent signs of
friction between them.

RABBI FRIEDMAN
ENDORSES CHEST

Speaking in behalf of the Com
nunity War Chest campaign over
WMFD yesterday, Rabbi Samuel
A, Friedman of B'Nai Israel con-
gregation said the Chest believes
in the support of the people OF
Wilmington ''because you have
come to understand the urgent
need of Red Feather services IN
every organized community; be-
cause our armed forces who have
given so much for us need us IN
their transitional period of post
war reconstruction and guidance"
THAT rabbi, of the B'Nal
Israel congregation, and new
conner at that, is asked to speak
to the people of Greater Whining
ton, is indicative of the genuine,
warm-hearted spirit of brother
hood and friendliness prevalent
here-the kind of people that lives,
lets live, and helps to live" the
rabbi continued.
In pressing his appeal for coop
Grafton in the forthcoming cam
paign, Rabbi Friedman said:
"The Americans came from a
rugged, pioneering stock, mindful
of the blessings of God, and we
know, but for the grace of God,
we would have been on the re-
ceiving end across the oceans.
"Americans are not only a peo-
pie that dispenseth good in charity,
but as that medieval philosopher
Maimonides said, the best form
of charity is preventing your. fell
bowman from needing charity, so
oftimes we help people before they
fall"
In concluding, Rabbi Friedman
said:
'sIn behalf of the Community
War Chest, in behalf Of the benefi-
Charles of the 20 agencies, in be-
half of those crosses and six-point-
ed stars, Americans who gave the
supreme sacrifice in order for you,
their sacred trust will carry on
the American spirit of compassion,
of liberty, of justice, of fair play
to all regardless of the fortuitous
circumstance of birth, do I speak.
"When Community Chest work.
er will see you soon. GIVE, GIVE,
and GIVE, and thank God that
you are a giver in blessed Ameri-
ca, and not a receiver"
