Chapultepec closely follows the spirit
OF the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
and constitutes the first concrete in
ternational implementation OF those
proposals. However, there is a ques-
ton to be raised. At Dumbarton
Oaks 1t was stated that mo enforce
ment action should be taken under
regional arrangements or by regional
agencies without the authorization
Of the security council" of the world
organization. Does this mean, then,
that Russia, Britain, France or
China, as permanent co-members of
the United States on the council.
might be able to veto measures
which the Americas agree to take
jointly against some aggressor in
this hemisphere?
The question, though perhaps
largely academic, serves to illustrate
the problem of dovetailing regional
security systems with the overall
world system. This problem will
unquestionably receive attention at
San Francisco, and we may reason
ably expect that it will be met salts
factorily. In any case, as another
long step forward in inter American
relations, providing definite pro-
gram of action to support the prin-
ciples of justice and freedom, the Act
of Chapultepec represents a genu-
inely great achievement.

Britain concerning Poland and Yugo-
slayia was due to the assumption that
nothing practical could be done by the
United States for these two countries.
But the situation is quite different
In regard to China, where, from the
purely practical point of view, America
has much more at stake than in Europe.
The Chinese leader is said to visualize
an increasing American role In the
Pacific, and China may be called on to-
play an important role in helping to
rehabilitate vast areas possessing large
populations and immense natural re-
sources.
Chang is said to feel that if the
United States shows the same lack OF
interest in the practical political prob
lens OF the Chinese and assists, even
indirectly, in establishing the rule OF
a Communist minority, the prestige OF
this country in the Far East might be-
come as negligible as 1t is in Europe
The difference is that our prestige means
much more across the Pacific than the
Atlantic.

From the global political point of
view. Chang is believed to be disturbed
over the Russian victory in the designa-
ton OF an aggressor nation. Premier
Stain, as it appears from the recent
statement of Secretary of State Stet-
tinius, prevailed over his two colleagues
at Yalta to permit the nation suspected
Of aggression to cast its veto vote when
the aggressor is designated and military
sanctions are ordered
China suffered much at the hands of
the League of Nations when the Geneva
organization decided on investigations
and voluminous reports instead of
actions after Japan created the Mukden
incident and invaded Manchuria. The
wise generalissimo can now picture a
similar possibility from other nations
which may covet some of the rich ter
ritory OF China and when the Chinese
government requires assistance the DO
tential aggressor will be in the position
OF vetoing military Intervention.

Mother of An 18-Year-Old

To the Editor Of The Star:
I see that Representative Hess and
Senator Taft have asked the Army to
explain 18-year old casualties. That is
something we mothers have been want
ing explained.
So they had to dip into them in De-
cember! Long before that 18-year- -olds
were killed in action. On June 6 (note
that date, Senator Taft my l8-year- -old
came home, saying it was his last pass
before being sent overseas. Even after
he landed in England, was sure that
he would get more training before being
sent into action. I had too much faith
in our leaders than to believe they would
send any kid" into action with only
II weeks training. Didn't they promise
year? But on August 10 my son was
killed in action in France, on the eve
of his 10Th birthday, less than eight
months after he entered the service,
and he was killed without receiving any
mail after leaving the States, and mail
to him was as important as ammuni-
ton.
My son is gone forever, but I hope
there can be something done to save
other 18-year-olds from the fate that
was his, and some other mothers the
heartbreak that is mine. A MOTHER.

lists. And the naturalization of basic
industries has been a fundamental de-
mand of the resistance movement from
the beginning.
Gen. de Gaulle has apparently felt
that the postponement of this issue
would contribute to national unity and
strengthen the bargaining power of
France internationally. But disunity
grows in every vacuum and the left
wing parties have begun openly to criti-
cize their indispensable leader.
1t was not unnatural for a patriot of
De Gaulle's traditions to consider him
self pre-eminently charged with restor-
ing the power position of France To
an extent he succeeded in concentrating
the attention of France and the world
all but exclusively on this issue. But
he has nevertheless been overplaying a
weak hand, and Frenchmen-the real
ities OF whose lives tell them that
France is an exhausted nation, emf
nently In need of internal reconstruction
before she can again become a great
power-are realizing it.
Thus the Communists, who did not
press for more radical internal policy,
seserted De Gaulle over his attitude to-
ward Yalta and in doing so deserted
him internally as we'll
Furthermore, the alliance with Rus
sia, which De Gaulle played out
against the western powers, has failed
for that purpose. Neither Britain nor
the United States objected to changes
suggested by France in the text of the
invitation to San Francisco which she
was invited to sponsor These changes,
which would have made the Dunbar

cussion' but not a hard and fast pro-
gram, were vetoed, I understand, in

Act of Chupultepec

The Act of Chapultepec drawn up
at the Inter American Conference in
Mexico City marks the beginning of
a historic new phase in the growth
of the good neighbor" policy among
the nations of the Western Hemi-
sphere.
More than a century ago, by uni
laterally proclaiming the Monroe
Doctrine, the United States took it
upon itself to protect the whole
hemisphere from Old World aggres-
sors. Then, through the course of
years. particularly through the past
two decades, there evolved COM
mon hemisphere front against any
attempt by any non-American state
to violate the political independence
or territorial integrity of any of the
Americas.
The special significance of the
Act of Chapultepec is that the COM
mon front now undertakes to move
In unison not merely against non-
American aggressor states but
against American aggressor states
as well. Under the procedure agreed
upon. the signatories. whenever ag-
gression occurs or seems to be in the
making, would consult among them
selves to decide upon peace-preserv-
ing measures. Depending on the
gravity of the situation, these meas
ures would range from relatively
mild diplomatic action to the joint
use of armed force against the Of
Tending power.
Already approved in committee
which assures its adoption by the
conference as a whole-the act is
meant to take immediate effect and
be operative for the duration of the
war-a fact which must seem espe-
cially meaningful to Argentina. the
maverick of the hemisphere and the
only nonsignatory among the Amer
icas. AS for the postwar period. the
act is designed to be perpetuated in
treaty form as regional arrange
ment for maintaining hemisphere
peace within the overall framework
of the general world security organ
ization to be worked out at the
forthcoming United Nations Con-
ference in San Francisco.

This Changing World
By Lonsfanfine Broom

The desire expressed by Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek to attend the San
Francisco Security Conference at about
the same time as President Roosevelt is
due to his wish to have heart-to-heart
talk with the American Chief Executive.
The generaliSSimo is becoming in
creasingly concerned over the pressure
put on him from quarters to make wide
concessions to the Communist govern
ment at Yenan. He already has shown
his willingness to collaborate with his
opponents but feels that If all their
requirements are met he and his as
sociates in short time would become
completely engulfed by the Yenan
political group.
In view Of the fact that the resistance
he has offered to the Japanese since
1912 under the most difficult conditions
has greatly aided the Allies, Chang
believes that he has the first claim on
their moral and material support.
The suspicious Chinese leader Is not
satisfied that the Big Three are all
favorably disposed toward his govern
ment He recalls that at the Cairo
meeting with President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill, where the
war in the Far East was discussed, he
had asked them to use their influence
with Premier Stain to obtain a settle
ment Of the Chungking- -Yenan con-
troversy. Stain refused to intervene,
according to available reports, on the
ground that the Chinese Communists
were totally independent of Moscow and
the Kremlins Intervention In purely
domestic affairs might be badly re-
ceived in Yenan.
Ever since the end of the Teheran
Conference there has been a slow de-
terioration of the Chungking -Yenan
relationship. Following Washingtons
advice, Chang was prepared to make in
creasingly wide concessions to his
"ideological' opponents, but every time
he yielded to some of their demands
they added to them. The Chinese Com
munists have frequently charged the
generalissimo with having under
ground" deals with the Japanese. Even
today after several Chungking divisions
have arrested the march of the Japa-
nese toward Chungking the propaganda
against Chang is strong as ever.

which under German occupation were

unfortunate addition to the German
war effort should, We would have
thought, have been as great an asset to
our own. Instead of this French indus
tries are becoming a burden, with un-
employment an additional burden, and
the argument Is Aade that there is lack
of shipping for rehabilitation, when the
organization of French resources could
reduce the tonnage of military supplies

have the military privilege of requisitiori

Luymen and the Courts

Members and their guests attend
Ing the thirty-fifth anniversary
dinner last evening of the Fedora
tion of Citizens Associations heard
Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws, speak
ing as chairman of the Committee
on improvement of Justice of the
American Bar Association, outline
an idea which will find expression
tomorrow afternoon in a meeting of
representative of the bench, the
bar and the lay community. The
idea is to seek suggestions from the
layman on improving and other
wise facilitating the processes of the
District courts.
AS the Chief Justice said, the idea
is a curiously novel one. For while
the judges, the lawyers and the
court attaches have been comforting
for years on improving our legal
machinery, the layman, who is most
directly affected, has been rather
neglected as a consultant. If he is
brought into such counsels, it is pos
sible that he will be able to single
out deficiencies in what the lawyers
and the judges have accepted as
necessary procedure, but which owe
their dignity and prestige to custom
and tradition rather than to strict
logic or even common sense.
1t is true that the layman, his
vanity touched by an invitation to
speak out of court, may indicate
tendency to rush in where angels
with a legal education would fear
to tread. 1t is probable that meth
ods and procedures which he regards
as time wasting, full of words and
expensively indirect, are merely the
end results of evolutionary expert
ence, through trial and error, in
perfecting the security of his legal
rights. But the lawyers and the
judges should be able to sift sug-
gestions founded on misconceptions
from those that represent a fresh
and helpful perspective.
Regardless of the tangible results;
1t is a wholesome sign when the
Judges themselves manifest posi-
tive interest in freeing the courts. of
entanglements that prevent their
keeping abreast of the efficiency so
marked in many other fields Of
American life. While in this respect
he is functioning as chairman Of
committee which already has done
much to improve the functioning OF
the courts, rather than as the newly
sworn chief justice of the United
States District Court, this gesture
by Chief Justice Laws is in keeping
with reputation for intelligent lib.
eralism and progressiveness which
has made him an outstanding prod
uct of the Washington bar.

Concerning the kind of houses
that intending builders desire, the
report confirms Whitman's expecta-
ton. Fairly inexpensive structures
are favored, with about half OF the
answerers choosing homes In the
bracket between eight and ten thou
sand dollars. The preferred building
material is brick, the average num-
ber OF rooms six-plus good cellars
and attics; the most popular fixtures
refrigerators, "trick" stoves, washing
and ironing machines. Among the
features listed are: Well-equipped
and pleasantly decorated recreation
rooms, specially designed laundry
rooms, commodious garages and
quarters for the proper accommoda-
ton of pets.

goes, may be found in the grading
