ANAN thANOlcOO, May Ii Hc iiIci-
- vention Of President Truman along
the simple, honest lines of his opening
address is desperately needed to give
backbone to the American delegation and
to take this conference out of the ridicu-
lously pompous world of make-believe IN
which it is working and bring it down
to brass tacks.
The emergency is not apparent, for
the surface is being smoothed.-
But unless the American delegation
takes firm and unequivoeal stand the
one opportunity for peace that has
emerged from this conference will be lost.
That opportunity is to weld this
hemisphere into a solid idealistic but
practical bloc for peace
AS things are now going, the opera
tion-that is, the CONFERENCE.-THE be sue
cessful, but the patient-that is, peace
will die
The real situation would be entirely
clear if this conference were being held
IN the American tradition of open rows
openly settled. But to do that requires
a higher level of ability, self-confdence
and integrity of purpose than is present
in the dominating delegations.
UTHEN Ben Franklin went to Europe
w in the infancy of our republic, he
went as an American, and so confident
was he Of his own ability, that he did not
ape the ways of the foreign diplomats.
He knew what he wanted and he got it.
This conference was advertised as a
meeting OF superminds to fix the destinies
of the worid.@There are|of- eoHrse1no
superminds here-or anywhere else, for
that matter. But the obligation to act
superminded has been eagerly assumed
by many delegates, with the inevitable
consequence =thatthe most ordinary dis
=eussiens are carried on in deep secrecy
and the most ordinary decisions are an
nounced as though they raised the cur
talns on new epochs.
COMMISAR MOLOTOV put on the best
~ show with his bevy of bodyguards,
who must have been trained by ballet
master, but at that he did not match the
drama of Al Capone and his goons enter
ing night club IN the old Chicago days.
This meeting was called to work out
ways and means to gain peace and secur-
ity in the future. Now is not time for
sham and pretense, yet this conference
up to now is all sham and pretense.
It's utter helplessness on the Polish
question is only a sample of its futility
as a guardian of the dignity and freedom
of man.
This conference has rapidly divided it
self into two blocs-the European and
the Latin American. The Asiatics, in
Guiding the delegations from the Middle
East, do not much count and the fact that

GAN FRANCISCO, May IS

GAN FRANCISCO, May Is
~ The Russian enigma at the
United Nations conference has
become an impenetrable fog of
mystery since Foreign Commits
sar Molotov shook the dust Of
San Francisco from his restless
feet.
The Soviet delegates left be-
hind to hold the line for Stain
have been doing just that, but
they have also been holding
their tongues.
A great many alterations are
being made in some of the
amendments of Dumbarton Oaks
since they were tentatively
perhaps, as was thought, finally
agreed upon prior to Molo-
tov's departure.
All of these modified UNDER
stan dings that have been
reached during the last week, or
which are in process of being
reached, WILL HAVE TO BE
SUBMITTED TO MOSCOW.
THERE is always the possi-
Il bility that in the end when a
final document is drawn up here
by the conference, the whole
thing may be completely upset
by Soviet Russia.
Our state d epar m n in
Washington has cracked down
pretty hard on the Soviets in
the Trieste incident, for it is not
the puppet government Of Tito
that is the real ruler of Yugo-
slavia today.
It is the power OF Soviet Rus
sia which has taken over the
former Austrian port at the
head of the Istrian Peninsula,
and Mr.. Crews remarks are
obviously intended for reading
in the Kremlin.
TT IS exceedingly difficult TO
i maintain the fiction that
what is in session in San Fran
cisco is not a peace conference,
but meeting of the peace
loving nations for the purpose
OF drafting a frame into which
the peace picture afterwards is
to be fitted.
For example, when the con-
ference seated delegations from
White Russia and the Ukraine
il followed that Stain had
gained his point for the fifth
partition of Poland.
Thus Moscow has its way
with regard to the spoilation
and dismemberment of Poland.
and if that doesn't constitute a
permanent settlement of
European political question,

agreements in various parts OF
the world.
The result Of this very easily
could be disastrous TO the idea
upon which the call of the San
Francisco conference was based,
the creation Of an international
organization for the preserva-
ton of the peace of the world.
AS a substitute we should
have a number of regional
groups. each intent upon the
preservation Of special national
interests.
The final decision does not
rest here at the Golden Gate.
II will be made in Moscow
by a hard-boiled dictator, who
is going places-and who knows
precisely how 10 get there!
The attitude of the United
States toward Stain is stiffens
ing. But the appeaSement of
Russia has already gone entirely
too far.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-16
POLITICAL PARADE

TT is not yet certain that the
i conference, in plenary ses-
sion, eventually will approve Of
a compromise of the perpleXing
question of fitting the Act of
Chapultepec into the overload
ship of the security council.
But as originally agreed upon
before Molotov returned 10 the
Soviet capital, the power
granted to the council 10 inter-
fere in Western Hemisphere
affairs did constitute something
far more than the mere draft
ing of a framework. y
1t constituted an entirely new
conception of the Monroe Doc
trine.
The opening Of the whole
Chapultepec question, on the in
sistence of the delegations from
the Latin-American countries,
has now resulted in widespread
demands for additional regional

The Spending Orgy Is Over

DRESIDENT TRUMAN has

DOLLARS of war expenditures pre-
viously authorized by Congress. but
now made unnecessary by the turn
of military events.
will be a tremendous finan-
eial boon to the country, and it is the
best possible way to give the Amer
lean people the immediate and stim-
ulating benefits of the victory in
Europe.
It is gratifying that the President
was quick to MAKE this momentous
and monumental economy for the
benefit of the nation.
It is significant that he knew
HOW to make it.
MIR. TRUMAN may be new to
1A many Of his duties as President,
having so recently assumed the
office.
But he is not new to the matter
Of public expenditures, for the war
or for other governmental purposes.
AS chairman of the U. S. Senate
committee for the investigation of
war expenditures, he was the ma
tion's outstanding authority on the
necessity and efficiency of the vari
GUS phases of the war program-and
on many occasions was the severest
critic of the program.
In that role he often found evi-
dence of inefficient and wasteful ex-
penditures and so reported to the
Senate, and on some occasions sue
ceeded in putting safeguards on the
more fragrant misuse of spending
power by extravagant and profligate
government agencies.
DUT in his new role, as President,
- Mr.. Truman has vastly greater
opportunity and infinitely more au-
thority to turn his knowledge Of the
situation to instant and enormous
national advantage.
President Truman KNOWS what
government agencies can be drasti-
cally curtailed in their spending
powers Immediately, or stripped of
those powers altogether.

Sham and Pretense Characterize
Peace Conference Thus Far
By SAMUEL CROWTHER

they are looked upon as stepcnndren VIII
be- according to students OF Asia, mat
ter of more than embarrassment when
the Japanese war ends.
The conference is primarily concerned
with the balance of power in Europe
on the theory that Europe is still the
center of the world and that the other
continents and their nations are just ap-
pendages.
TNHE British, with their centuries of
Il experience and the influences which
they are able to assert, have managed to
swing the United States into the Euro
-pean efbit." t."-
If this means anything, it means that
we have Joined the succession of nations
chosen by Britain to guarantee the en-
pire against the currently dominant power
in Europe.
The dominant power is now the Soviet
government The British and the Rus
SLAMS have 20-year treaty. That treaty
is worthless unless the British have a
backing power which the Russians must
respect.
We are being moved in as that power
and we are being moved away from the
one group in this conference that is
anxious to cooperate with us in setting
up standards Of international morality
and which does not regard war as legiti-
mate and necessary instrument Of public
policy.
TNHAT is the Latin American group.
Il This group, it is beginning to appear,
contains abler men than any other. OF
them, DR.. Ezequief Padilla, the foreign
minister of Mexico and a great force in
his own country, looms outstandingly.
The Latin American group, with the
admission of Argentina has a solid front
The war-has broken the trade and cuf-
=tHrai ties which formerly held these eeHH-
tries to Europe.
They want hemisphere alliance and
they will take a world organization only if
it in no way interferes with hemisphere
alliance.
If there is to be world wide alliance
they want it on the model of the Act of
Chapultepec, which contains a fine BODY
of principles and very little machinery,
Instead of a Dumbartan- Oaks which con-
talns no principles and great deal of
machinery.
The United States has set up as the
protector of human dignity and freedom.
We are fighting this war that they may
prevail
AS the strongest power on earth and
with a surprising army in Europe, we
cannot be forced to compromise our
ideals. But we are being persuaded to
compromise them.
To the extent that We compromise our
ideals, we compromise the hope Of an en-
during peace.

He knows which of them have no
useful functions, now that the war
in Europe is virtually over; and
which of them never HAD any useful
function.
He knows which agencies are
duplicating or overlapping other
agencies.
He knows which of them are con-
tributing to the huge bulk of nom
essential government expenditures
which have not only lacked justifca-
ton because of the war but have
actually impeded and been detrimen
tai to the war effort.
. # r.
WHILE the expenditures of many
w federal agencies were legitimate
and necessary while the war in Eu-
rope lasted, and have only become
unnecessary through the successful
conclusion of that phase of the world
conflict, a staggering part of the
total governmental expenditure has
always been nonessential and dan
gerous drag on the war and poten-
TALLY ruinous to the country.
President Truman has long been
aware of this situation.
He knows the war. in Europe
could have been conducted more ef-
ficiently, and probably won more
quickly, if the spending powers of
reckless and wasteful federal agen-
cies had not been misused.
President Truman can be relied
upon to preserve and adequately
finance every legitimate and useful
function of government, now that
peace is returning to Europe.
He can be particularly relied upon
to insure that the continuing war in
the Pacific will be prosecuted to the
limit of American power and re-
sources.
But he is obviously determined
that for the duration of the Pacific
war, and for the forthcoming time of
final peace, the American people are
to be relieved of their burden of non
essential government expenditures
which has held them back in war,
and which would hold them down in
peace.
