FORMULA
Nation Moving Toward
Direct Hand In Euro
pean Affairs
BY JOHN M. H1GHT0wER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-tR-The
United States is moving swiftly to-
ward a direct hand in the political
affairs of Europe. President Roose-
welt and the State Department are
veering away from Cordell Hull's
Tennessee Formula" for keeping
this country out of such affairs
pending creation Of world securi-
ty organization.
The change is viewed in diplo-
matte quarters, both American and
European, as the most important
DEVELOPMENT Of that nature since
1941 when this country was plunged
into war. The reason offered by
American officials is that action
is necessary now to mold the peace
for which this war is being fought.
Mr.. Roosevelt apparently signal
lied the shift in his message to
Congress two weeks ago, saying
American power and influence will
be used in support of the principles
of the Atlantic Charter.
The long range American objec-
tive remains the creation of
world security system within which
Britain, Russia and the United
States would be closely bound in
cooperation for peace. Failure to
advance that organization more
quickly is regarded in some quar-
ter as one of the causes Of some
of Europe's current troubles, since
it leaves the United States uncom-
nlitted on long range foreign policy.
For that reason, considerable
thought has been given by Ameri-
can officials TO various SENSATIONAL
proposals for joint political machi1-
merry pending the creation OF a
security league.
These Senate ideas have encour-
aged Administrator leaders to be-
lieve that there is strong senti-
ment for greater participation by
this Government in decisions which
as in Poland and Greece, already
are molding the shape of postwar
Europe.
Advocates of a more active pol
icy argue that such a course actu-
ally involves no conflict with the
detectives which Hull sought during
his years Secretary OF State.

On the basis of calculations that
the Germans threw approximately
80, 600 troops into their drive, Slim
sons figures indicated that the
enemy's casualties totalled about
so per cent of the attacking force.
As yet, no comprehensive report
