BEHIND THE News

THE same suppressed con-
l. gressional criticism greeted
statement issued by the Presi-
dent backing up OPA, and ap-
parently composed by OPA Ad-
ministrator Bowles. The con-
gressmen feel Mr.. Truman took
the word of his departments too
much at face value rather than
striking out for himself.
Affairs around the White
House are developing wholly
different lines i'm many other
ways. Whereas Mr.. Roosevelt
was accustomed TO work from
bed in the mornings. calling in
his few assistants and working
out problems with them, Mr..
Truman has his first caller in
his executive office each day

gressmen find n better TO start

tive mansion 10 the displeasure

ton heritage that nothing i'm

RY AN act of the State Legislature,
~ a two year course in American
history has been made a compulsory
study requirement in all the high
schools of New Jersey.
Some effort was made TO defeat
the measure on the plea that COM
munity or district school boards had
powers to fix the curricula and that
state legislation would constitute in
reference with local government.
The obstructive argument did not
obtain half dozen votes.
1t was refuted by the facts that
education in its broadest aspects is
definitely state responsibility, and
that in the lack of state direction,
merican history was not being
taught at all, or was being mistaught,
in some New Jersey areas.
For example, in surveying the
whole situation, Gov. Walter E. Edge
ascertained that a course called
American Democracy" was being
substituted for American history
for which it very obviously was not
a decent alternative
One Of the tricks of the so-called
progressive education movement
has been to replace bona fde Amer
lean history courses in many states
with socialistic textbooks and pro
grams presented under such labels as

country TO develop and endless
damage 10 repair.
To get this peace, she feels
she needs security. No one
must be able 10 invade her
again. Traditionally these in
vasions have come from the
smaller countries surrounding
her they have always been the
springboardS from which in
vaderS have started their march
into Russia. The Russians are
determined that this viii not
happen again.
TIEY also have a far greater
Il fear of German comeback
than we do. They saw what
happened after the last war,
and they are always suspicious
that Germany may once again
be built up as a buffer state
against communism" They are
therefore going 10 make their
western defenSeS secure. No
governments hostile TO Russia
will be permitted in the coun-
tries along her borders.
They feel that they have
earned this right 10 security.
They mean 10 have it, come
what may.
Those delegates who argue
for the Russians feel that Rus
sian moves in Europe are
guided completely by this de-
sire for peace and security and
are not steps in an attempt 10
dominate Europe and Asia.
That briefly is the way the
argument runs. Unquestionably
il does not Justify some recent
Russian behavior and is not a
completely satisfactory explana-
ton
However. because il is the
view Of a number Of delegates,
il deserves some study. Only
time will tell whether they are
right.

KOREAN Factions UNITE

- multiplicity of Korean or
CARNATIONS of sharp past dis

unity in San Francisco that may
go far toward the establishment
Of a free Korean republic soon
after Japan is expelled.
Announcement by le d @ T
that an agreement for con-
certed action has been reached
is accompanied by reports that
individual senators al Washing
ton have become interested in
the Korean situation as a test
case in RuSSia's reach for far
eastern influence, and are
directing queries 10 Secretary
of State StettiniuS as to the
existence of a persistently re-

promising Russia postwar politi-
cal and economic concessions

One senatorial inquiry asked
reasons for the absence of state
department aid in placing the
Korean case before the United
Nations conference.

~ ment'S answer to that,
given to the leaders of the
various movements, has been
that the Koreans have pre-
sented such a division of policy
as TO render their arguments
confusing and ineffective
This the Korean leaders now
claim they have healed.
The groups came together in
a series of meetings this week
which has just resulted in
joint statement that all are now

GAN FRANCISCO. May IL
~ Mr.. Truman started hewing
a new path of his own in his
first forward action on domestic
affairs. He slashed nearly ST.
500,000.000 from the war ex-
penditures program, and vetoed
farm draft deferment (Tydings
amendmenD.
Behind the expenditures slash
was the rather massive truth
that nearly all the amount ST.
600. 900, 900 of iD involved fu-
ture ship construction and the
maritime commission is already
taking of scrapping for postwar

other cuts were modest trim

10 keep this unstreSsed as the

scope struck a responsive popu-

coupled with the pr9niSeHof tax
reduction which Mr Truman
offered, il was DAturally greeted
with great general enthusiasm

The draft defeTment veto. on
the other hand, left Congress
sour The inside explanation
for the Presidents action was
that his veto message had been
composed. or wholly inspired,
by the war department. The
legislation was in the form of a

GAN FRANCISCO, May IL
~ The incidents OF this con-
ference thus far and the de-
meanor of the Russians must
remind any American with an
honest memory that many Of
fices Of the national government
and many in powerful unions
Of the CIO are occupied by men
and women who would turn
against the United States IN any
conflict Of interest with Russia.
This attitude was shown dur
ing the period between the start
OF the war IN the fall OF 1883
and June y, 1871, when Hitler
attacked Russia.
Throughout an earlier period
under the New Deal. covering
several years. this large and
ClamorOuS element IN the Union
movement and IN that group
which had prc-emptcd the title
of Liberal opposed all pro-
pOSals that the United States
prepare 10 meet any armed
challenge.
The counter-propOSal here was
that this country remain weak
militarlly and rely on Russia 20
uphold freedom against Hitler
ism and fasclSm.
Between the start Of the war
and Htler's blow at Russia, the
relations between the New Deal
and the Communist front were
auStere.
But after June q. 1871. the
Communists and the New Deal
ers IN Washington. soon became
reconciled and IN a very brief
period predictions that these
people would be recognized
again were confirmed.
TIIE National Maritime Union
Il was given political encour-
agement and practical help in
its purpose Of assuming control
OF the manning and operation OF
a merchant fleet created by the
people Of the United States.
Henry Wallace, then vice pres
ident. fraternized publicly with
Joseph Curran, the president Of
this organization which. IN all
the meanderingS of the Com
munist party line, had hewn to
that line.
Franklin d. Roosevelt sent
greetings TO the CLOS union of
office workers, a similar organi-
zailon, whose president. call
ing himself Lewis Merrill, had
dropped his original name after
migrating TO the United States
from Canada.

ceive sudden great encourage
ment from people now con-
Vinced that just as We grant
Russia the right 10 conduct her
internal affairs without inter-
ference from US, American So
curity requires similar freedom
at home.
THROUGHOUT this confer
Il ence there have been repti-
tious reminders that for *
years the United States did not
give Russia her confidence and
did not understand Russia.
But the reason why the
American people could NOT give
Russia their confidence was that
IN their midst an organiza ton
directed from Moscow was dill
gently undermining the Amer
ican government under the
protection Of American laws.
The reason why Americans
could not understand Russia
was that Russia purposely
maintained a mystery and was
understood by only a few
Americans who adopted the
Russian ideal OF dictatorship
and ruthless power as a basis
Of that understanding.
Now, apparently. even with
Russia. alone. victorious and
relieved OF the burdens and

Our Maritime Policy

match FOREIGN COMPETITION
in terms of equity and efficiency.
That is our new problem and our
great DANGER. d.
Maritime strength and prosperity
after this war is not going to be a
matter of surface craft alone, or of
ability to build ships.
THE merchant marine in the future
Il is going to be strong and pros
porous only when it has a closely
integrated aviation exactly
as the American navy became
superb fighting force by having
highly developed air arm.
All of the maritime nations of the
world recognize this, except the
United States.
All of them except the United
States are preparing to supplement
and augment their shipping lines and
industries with auxiliary aviation
services not separate from estab-
lished and essential maritime enter
prise, but a vital and indispensable
part of it.
ONLY the United States persists in
~ the obsolete and unsound gov
ernment policy of PROHIBITING
it's maritime enterprise from devel-
oping an integrated air arm - the
only way it can compete with foreign
enterprise, and in fact the only way
it can exist
This is the sort of governmental
policy which the United States
pursued after the last war, and which
left us virtually without merchant
marine at the start of this war.
"How long," asks Admiral King,
"can the United States afford to con-
tinue a cycle of fighting and building
and thinning and giving aruay-only
to right and build and tDin and giUe
oDay again?
Rich as Ue are, Ue do not haUe
the human or physical resources to
dissipdte our patrimony, generation
afte' generation, in this manner"
American policy regarding our
future merchant marine should be
fashioned to serve our AMERICAN
INTEREST, including security in
war and prosperity in peace - and
our present maritime policy does not
remotely resemble such a pattern.

A DMIRAL ERNEST j. KING,
"A commander-in chief of the
United States fleet and chief of naval
operations, made an address recently
before the Academy of Political
Science in New York City which con-
stitutes BLUEPRINT for Ameri.

He spoke PROUDLY of the monu.
mental achievements of the Ameri
can navy in this war, and of the
manner in which the navy became
the largest and most powerful mari
time fighting force in the history of
the world.
PUT he also spoke soberly and
- frankly of the unprepared situa-
tion in which the navy found itself at
the beginning of the war, calling it a
situation in which the United States
was confronted with disastrous
probabilities

said Admiral King.
".After the last Uar uUe dissipdted

THE reason Admiral King stresses
Il this point now is that there is
growing evidence that America is
slipping back into the same policy of
dangerous and disastrous error in the
matter of maritime preparedness

shipbuilding industries will remain
