The Political Mill
. By Gould Lincoln

SAN FRANCISCO-The West, and
California in particular, is planning now
for reconverSion which is following in
the wake of the wars end in Europe,
and, more especially, for complete re-
conversion after Japan has been de-
feated. Gov. Warren of California and
his fellow Governors on the Pacific
Coast and in the Mountain States
doubtless will have much to say about
their problems when the annual Gov
ernors' Conference is held the end of
this month.
Since Pearl Harbor California has had
an influx of 100000 new population
most Of it due TO the maj jor war industries.
From being almost exclusively agricul-
tural, except for oil and mineral in
dustrieS, this State has become tremen-
douSly industrial. 1t is not q widely
diversified industrial situation, however,
but is centered in three fields, ship
building, aircraft manufacture and Steel
The problem, as Gov. Warren sees it,
has two main 'angles-first, to change
these huge plants as far as possible to
peacetime products and second, to make
provision for the huge number of in
duStrial workers Many OF these workers
will wish to remain in California A
sudden shutdown of the war material
plants and yards, it is estimated, will
have the effect of throwing 100000 out
of jobs. During the depths of the de-
preston which followed the 1929 crash,
California had an estimated 100000
unemployed. Californians look with
dread on the return of any such con-
ditions.
Californians, however, are great be-
levers in their own capacities Having
become industrialized, they do not in
tend to relinquish their industries.
President Fairless of United States
Steel may say, as he has, that there
is no more reason why California should
have a steel induStry-an industry which
has been developed in the East-than
New York should grow oranges. That
may make sense to the Eastern steel
magnates, but it does not register at
all with Californians, and particularly
not with Henry j. Kaiser, who with
the AID of RFC money has constructed
s90,000,000 steel plant at Fontana,
so miles inland from Los Angeles.

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,vn

The United States and Great Britain
may delay formal recognition Of the new
Polish government until after the Brit
ish elections, according to reports from
political observers in London.
While on paper it looks as If the
conditions of the Yalta agreement have
been fulfilled, only three non-Lublin
Poles have been included in the new
administration.
A wave OF, ill health" has caught the
other Poles who were invited to join
the new setup. Besides the old peasant
leader, Wincenty Witos, who claimed to
be sick on his farm in Poland, Sieg-
mund Zulawski, chairman of the Pol
ish trade unions Wladislaw Grabski
and Mieczyslaw Thugut members of
the Polish Peasant party, also have
caught some kind of political infec-
ton" which has prevented them from
accepting posts in the revised regime.
None of these representatives of
prewar Polish liberalism believes that
the new government, even if they
Joined the cabinet, could hold free
elections" Their suspicious were
strengthened when the Ministry of the
Interior-headed by a non-Lublin Pole,
WladislaW Kiernik was divided into
two sections. The internal administra-
ton was left in Kiernik's hands, while
the security forces were placed under
Stanislaw Radkievicz, an officer of the
NKVD (the Russian secret service).
Under these conditions the Polish
liberals DO not see any guarantee that
there will be free elections in their
country. They realize that as long as
the security administration is in the
hands of an agent of the NKVD, police
force will see that the ballots are cast
the right way"
Thus, while Washington and London
are breathing more freely because the
irksome Polish question has been taken
out OF the international field, they are
aware that the new Polish government
represents the carrying out of the Yalta
agreement only on paper. 1t is a mere
face-saving device.
Prime Minister Churchill is now facing
a difficult election. He has indicated
that unless he gets more than work.
ing majority he will not form a cabinet.
Mr.. Churchill is said to be planning to
withhold formal recognition of the new
Warsaw cabinet until after the ballots
have been cast because he fears an
unfavorable reaction among his own
Conservative supporters.

The Straits Problem

Enough is known about current
diplomatic exchanges between the
Soviet Union and Turkey to make it
virtually certain that they center
around Russian demands for an al
teration in the status of the Straits.
That is the term used to denote the
narrow but deep saltwater river
which constitutes the only connec-
ton between the Black Sea and the
Mediterranean. This vital maritime
highway has for ages been a bone
of contention between all interested
powers. It's international aspect was
recognized century ago, when the
Ottoman Empire agreed to the free
passage of merchant shipping in
peacetime. But Russia has long
aspired to assure itself unfettered
access to the Mediterranean under
all circumstances and on several oc-
casions during the past century has
tried to obtain this by gaining con-
troll of the Straits themselves. That
ambition was vigorously opposed by
Britain, though in World War I
Russia obtained a promise of con-
troll by a secret treaty which became
imperative when the czarist empire
was replaced by the Soviet regime.
The defeat of Turkey in that war
was followed by a peace treaty which
deprived it of control over the
Straits. which were International
lied. But the KemaliSt revolt upset
that settlement and ended in fresh
treaty, signed at Lausanne in 1923,
whereby the new Turkish republic
regained control over the Straits,
with the proviso that they should
remain demilitarized and subject to
inspection by an international con-
troll commission. This did not salts
fly the Turks, who took advantage
of the increasingly tense European
situation to obtain new Straits
control, signed at Montreux in 1886
Under this instrument Turkey re-
gained full control. including the
right to refortify the Straits, and
the international commission was
abolished. The status of the Straits
thus reverted substantially to what
it was prior to World War I, with
free passage of merchant ships in
peacetime. but restrictions upon the
passage of warships even in peace
and controls on merchant vessels in
time of war. That status was legally
maintained by Turkey, which re-
manned neutral almost to the end
of the European conflict, but the
right of passage by merchant ship
ping became academic when the
Axis seized the Greek islands in the
Aegean. thus rendering access by
Allied ships impossible.
So many nations have strategic
as we'll as commercial interest in the
Straits that it is distinctly an inter-
national problem. Indeed, its inter
national status is confirmed by the
MontreuX Convention. which could
not legally be set aside by a bilateral
agreement between the Soviet Union
and Turkey. The question should
form part of the agenda
for the forthcoming big Three"
between the executive heads
of Britain, the Soviet Union and the
United States, where the respective
attitudes and policies of those pow
ers will be discussed.

Mr.. Stettinius Resigns

v.
leaving the cabinet merely as the
result of change made in the in
Aerests of partisan political consid-
erations there would be a sense Of
deepest disappointment. But that
emphatically is not the case.
In resigning as Secretary of State,
he gives up the most important
place in the cabinet. He is leaving,
however to take over an assignment
that is even more important
chairman of this country's delega-
ton to the new United Nations
organization and our representative
on the all-powerful security council.
President Truman is not exagger-
ating when he says that this is the
highest post in the gift of this
Nation.
When one looks at the sketch of
Mr.. Stettinius' career in the Con-
gressional Directory it is difficult to
believe that he will not attain the
age of forty-fve until October %.
Seven years ago, at the age OF
thirty-seven, and after an excep-
tional business career, he was chair
man of the board of the United
States Steel Corporation. For most
men that would have been success
enough, but for Mr.. StettiniuS it
was merely the end of one road and
the beginning of another. In 1910
he severed all connection with
United States Steel to accept ap-
pointment as member of the
Advisory Committee to the Council
OF National Defense. At the age Of
forty, having climbed to the top in
private industry, he was undertaking
an entirely new career in Govern
ment and public service. And in
this new venture his rise has been
no less spectacular.
His next post was chairman of the
Priorities Board of the Office of
Production Management. Then, to
mention the more important steps,
he took over the administration of
lease-lend and became special
assistant to the President. In 1943
he became Undersecretary of State
and in the following year, when the
conduct of foreign affairs had
assumed unprecedented Importance,
he succeeded Cordell Hull as Secre-
tary of State. It was in that capacity
that he organized the Dumbarton
Oaks meeting and then assumed
direction of the task of writing the
United Nations Charter at San
Francisco-a task which, in the
Presidents words, he accomplished
with Skill, unfaltering courage and
success
This, in brief, is the record that
Mr.. Stettinius leaves behind as he
takes over his new assignment-new
for him>an new in the sense that
never before has representative
of the United States undertaken
comparable task 1t is record
which, of itself, inspires confidence.
Mr.. Stettinius is better
equipped for the task by experience
than any other American and, per-
haps even more important, he is
still young man. The critical test
of the Charter written at San Fran
cisco will not come tomorrow, but
in the next ten or twenty years. And
1t may well be that Mr.. Stettinius,
having lived with this undertaking
from the beginning, will be able to
stay with it until its success is
assured. In any event, the oppor-
tunity is there, and the vast majority
of Americans will share the Pres
ident's expressed confidence that Mr..
Stettinius will make the most of it.

We the MeutIess Heroes

If you notice lot Of Washington
mans walking around today with
their chests stuck out like pouter
pigeons it is because they are burst
ing with civic pride-in lieu of meat.
There is something immensely
gratifying in being assured, by so
rigidly nonpartisan an aggregation as
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that
Washington was, on June IL, at the
bottom of list of American cities
ranked in relation to their available
supply Of meat. Atlanta was about
as bad, but pooh on Atlanta! This
report confirms the harassed house
wife, upholds her in every respect,
increases her stature in the house
hold, gives her that delightful sense
OF Righteousness, under persecution,
known only to the martyrs. Now,
she can tell her husband, you will

And regarding her with the coldly
objective eyes of the Bureau of

Movie Fever
By David Laurence
From the Pathfinder Magazine.
Movie-goers are feverish.


DR.. N. Kleitman, University of Chi
cago. said so after two-year expert
ment with young women. Whether
seeing tragedies or comedies the girls
temperatures rose one-half to a full
degree. On nonmovie days the subjects
temperatures remained normal and on
movie days were normal till the picture
got under way.
Young girls particularly get a fever,
said DR.. Kleitman, especially if viewing
actors such as Van johnson or Frank
Sinatra. In far from bobby-sox terms
he explains it this way: "The subject
matter evokes an increase in muscle
tension which manifests itself in high
ly significant rise in body temperature :"
Variations in body temperature may
produce unhappy marriages, Dr.. Kleit-
man believes: If one mates temperature
ordinarily goes up at night while the
others goes down, discord is likely to
follow. Most peoples temperature cycle
is higher in daytime, lowest during
sleep.

Kinship and Kineship
From the Montreal Star.

Where is George?" shouted one of the
crowd that massed before Buckingham
Palace the other night, and that un-
courtierlike summons to King to come
and receive the spontaneous expression
of his peoples devotion meant more
than all the ceremonious, symbolism and
circumstance that long tradition has
set about King. It was man calling
to man, and the significance Of that
small incident will not be lost.
