Administration leaders hoped to

TURKEY ENTERS WAR
IN HOME-STRETCH

Announcement that Turkey had de-
clared war against the Axis powers, Ger
many and Japan, stirred no ideas OF a
speeded victory by the Allies, of which
Turkey now is a member as we'll as a
member of the United Nations. There was
a time when such a declaration, even if
it had not been backed up by active fight
ing, would have been of material aid to
the Allies. Now it makes no difference.
But the war declaration did bring to
light one more of the secret doings at the
Yalta conference. Turkeys declaration
frankly was accompanied by statement
giving her reasons for entering the con-
flict in the 'home stretch Said Ankara,
in effect, 1--WE are declaring war under
an edict reached and issued at Yalta to
the effect that no acknowledgement nation
may share in the world conference at
San Francisco"
The decision which impelled Turkey
to get on record is proper enough. No
nation, however tardy they may be in
getting on the right side, should be ad-
mtted to that world parley. But here
again is the case of the American people
obtaining driblets of information on such
important matters as the Big Three meet,
through alien sources, and these alien
sources had full information all the time.
South American principalities are in
the same category with Turkey. They
are coming to scratch, hesitantly, perhaps,
but making the decision. Other nations
in the southern end of the Western Hem
isphere made the gesture" of declaring
war and thus became eligible for Lend
Lease help.
These reluctant nations may be a prob
lem in the peace and rehabilitation moves
for the world which still are ahead.

DEFENDING WASHINGTON
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Un1on)
1t is interesting to note a prominent
new dealer, Representative Sol Bloom OF
New York, rising to denounce Gallup
poll indicating that Abraham Lincoln is
a more popular figure among the Amerl-
can people than George Washington.
Whether the poll was in good taste or not
may be matter of opinion. But the spec
tacle of new deal leader as champion
of the Father of His Country is somewhat
anomalous.
Washington, for one thing, rejected
the suggestion of a third term as presi-
dent and warned against tenure of more
than eight years in the presidency.
He was firm believer in the Constitu-
ton upheld it conscientiously and never
sneered at it or advocated its violation as
a matter OF political or personal exped-
iSncy.
He believed that the first duty of Amer
leans was to America.
He believed in governmental economy
and sound government credit.
He repudiated spoils politics and the
use of the appointive power to bestow
high public office in payment of political
debts.
He believed in the support of the gov
ernment by the people, as opposed to the
support of the people by the government.
He believed in republican, represen-
tative form of government, as opposed
to collectivism and paternalism.
He believed in a government of laws,
as opposed to a government of men
through the devices of bureaucracy.
He believed in the sovereignty of citi-
zenship, as opposed to RECOMMENDATION.
He did not presume to repeal the law
of cause and effect, the law of supply
and demand or the laws of nature.
In fact, his credo was SO far removed
from that of the new deal that his champ
ionship by new deal spokesman seems
not only absurd, but presumptuous.

First Lady Warns
OF Movements to
Wreck Peace Plan

NEW YORK, Feb. &c. tUP)-Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt warns the Ameri-
can people to be alert against at
tempts to wreck any postwar inter-
national peace organization by con-
slant amendments.
Referring to the situation after
the last war, Mrs. Roosevelt, speak
ing in a second session CT National
Democratic Forum, said, "A few
die-hard Republicans decided not to
fight the idea of international CO.
operation or of League of Nations,
but tc try to make it such a perfect
instrument by constant amend
ments, that it would finally be
killed"
This can be done again and the
will of the people can be thwarted,
she said. I'VE will have to be wide
awake as citizens not to allow 1t to
happen again, because the estab-
lishment of this machinery is only
one step along our read"

WATER TREATY REPORTED
BY SENATE COMMITTEE
CLOS Angeles Times)

The vote of the Senate Foreign Affairs
Committee which orders favorable
report on the controversial water treaty
with Mexico can only be regarded as high
ly unfortunate in this State. II the treaty
is accepted by the Senate, without reser-
vations protecting California's rights,
DISPUTE on which there is possible a rea-
sonable compromise settlement will have
been decided against the best interests OF
California and without any correspond
ing gain for Mexico. Texas will profit at
our expense.
AS was pointed out in The Times Jan.
26, proper equation of the flow OF the
Colorado by dams or other structures to
conserve the 100000 to 100000 acre
feet of water which flows wastefully to
the Gulf of Baja California each winter
would give Mexico all the water she is
asking for without deprivation of Cali
fornia. Neither the State Department
nor the Senators has yet paid any atten-
ton to the possibility of such a compro-
mise and a clear-cut fight on the treaty
as it stands resulted So far as the COM
mittee is concerned it was won by the
treaty's proponents, Is to 4.
A last-minute plea by Sen. Connally
that a favorable report would Influence
the American nations conference at Mex
leo City may have influenced the result.
What the Senate will do, of course, re-
mains to be seen, and hot fight will be
made on the floor by the advocates of
the California position-and should be
made. But if a compromise which
should be acceptable to Mexico, whose
only interest is in getting water when she
needs water-can be arranged, the fight,
with an uncertain result, would be un-

KEEPING PARTISAN HAND
OUT OF PEACE PLANS

All along there has been an earnest,
wholehearted desire and sentiment max
ing for keeping the forthcoming peace
treaty and readjustment procedures in
this country and the world at large en-
tirely clear of partisan cleavage.
To this end outstanding, and often, bit
ter leaders in both parties, have not only
evinced an attitude of compliance to this
stand, but have taken the lead IN paving
the way for success. This also applies
to the actions of some of the so-called
isolationists in both parties.
But there are those who just can't keep
pace with any such disposition and in
sist on throwing a monkey wrench into
the machinery being set up for peace,
made and approved by the people as
whole
An offender in this wise is no other
than the First Lady of the land-Mrs
Roosevelt who inflicts her opinions in
and out of season. And, coming from
parsonage so close to the administration,
her words naturally tend to reflect the
intent and feelings of leaders in the dom
inant party, ard they have no recourse.
Now to contribute her share in build
ing unified peace, the First Lady
warns" of sinister influences already
at work to wreck international peace
plans by constant amendments" and
quite naturally, she identifies this in
fluence as the handiwork of Republicans.
In this instance, however, the minds of
the people will turn to the leadership
taken in evolving an all-people peace pro-
gram by Senator Vandenberg, whose re-
cent utterances and writings have provid
ed peace pattern instantly received as
practical and right.
But why can't all these mischief
makers who delight to be heard and seen.
be quieted until after the monumental
peace problem is settled?
