DICHARD X. LAW, minister of state,
IL told the House of Commons that
Russia had given information Of the pro-
posed establishment of a provisional
government by DR.. Karl Renner, and that
Notwithstanding Great Britain had asked
for time to consider the matter the Soviet
radio announced the news that the new
puppet government was fat 0ccOmpH.
This is the way Stain worked it in
Romania and Hungary. 1t is slick sys-
tenn if you can get away with it, but
system which holds forth little promise
of an enduring peace among nations, If
that peace is to be imperiled by double
dealing and double talk.
DR., Renner, a left over statesman Of
the old League of Nations school, who is
now IS years of age, probably fully
believed that the Soviet sponsorship was
with the full and advance knowledge and
consent of the United States and Great
Britain
This, OF course, was not the case. Our
own government sought an immediate
explanation and probably is still trying
to get one.
nR. RENNER, who is leader of the
IL left-wing Social-Democrat party, has
called at least two Communists into his
cabinet.
The Soviet technique is to plant Com
munists in such vital cabinet posts as
those of education and interior, which con-
trolls the police.
That was done in Romania and Hun
gary, and doubtless it will be found that
the same trick has been pulled in Vienna.

THE commission will then,
Il after making its decisions,

the world court and the legal
code that goes with il TO the
whole conference, which Will
vote upon them.
That, very briefly, is how this
conference plans 10 tackle one
Of its many problems. Its not
spectacular--lt's perhaps a little
dull.
But upon how these dull"
problems are settled may de-
pend our peace IN the coming

The Austrian Puppet

THE British government, accord
IL ing to its foreign Office commen-
tator, refuses to recognize the new
Moscow sponsored Austrian govern
ment "as provisional government
or anything else"
Remarking that the British gov.
ernment had not been informed of
the action by Russia "in sufficient
time to permit discussion with our
Allies" the commentator said that
beyond noticing it, we do not view
it at all "
BluntIy and clearly, what has
happened in Austria is the same
thing that happened previously in
Poland, and in Ronania, and in
YugoslaUia-the establishment of
Russian dominated puppet regime,

or the peoples inUotUed.
SoVIET Russia is plainly not to be
~ deferred in her course of un.
lateral action by any consideration
whatever.
In the case of Austria, there has
been clear pattern of agreement
that the representatives of the
United States and Great Britain
were to participate with the repre-
sentatives of Russia in the establish.
ment of new government.
The British spokesman acidly
comments that the contemplated
Allied commission has not even been
set up as yet, and in fact "actual
arrangements for sending it in have
not been completed" "
The ultimate restoration of Aus !,
trian independence was one of the
major subjects discussed at the Tehe-
ran conference, with a definite and
specific understanding that all of the
Allies were to have an equal part and
responsibility in that restoration.
The assurance of free and demo.

GAN FRANCISCO, May 3-The Soviet

United Nations the same disquieting
reactions which so often recently have

nedy, recently retired PIT boat

son of former Ambassador
Joseph p. Kennedy, is cover

encs from a serVicemons
point Of VieW.
SAN FRANCISCO, May s.
This conference. from a dis
tance, may have appeared. so
far, like an international foot
ball game with Molotov carry
ing the ball while Stettinius.
Eden and the delegates tried TO
tackle him all over the field.
Well, that parts over-~at
least temporarily-and they are
now getting to the real work of
the conference.
This will consist Of trying 10
solve a number of more or less
technical problems. They are
not spectacular, ii is true-but
il was to solve these problems
that the delegates came TO San
Francisco.
ONE of these problems deals
" with what part a world
court should play in any world
organization. | propose to dis
cuSs il here-not because II is
necessarily the most important
problem before the conference
but because il is a problem
typical of many others that are
about TO be discussed Here is
the way they plan to handle it;
The problem of setting up
world court is. of course, not
new. 1t has long been hoped
that some day the world would
have a court that would work
like the courts we have in this
country but would be set up to
deal with disputes between ma
tions instead of disputes be-
tween individuals. That's long
way off. though; we're only
knocking at the door now.
THIS latest plan for a world
court was first proposed at
Dumbarton Oaks when they de-
cided that the world organiza-
tion they planned to set up
must have a court to decide any
legal matters that might come
up. They didn't say what kind
of a court il would be-but Nhey
did arrange that all of the
United Nations would discuss 1t
and that suggestions would be
sent to Washington.
In April the Big Five met in
Washington TO make some def
mite proposals.
ONE of the big questions they
" discussed was whether the
world court should be a carry
over from the world court set
up after the last war, or
whether it should be a new one.
They decided that because the
old one had a. good record
though limited-this new one
would be founded on the basis
of the old one.
In addition, they took up
other legal matters and those
that they couldn't decide upon
were tabled, and they agreed
to take them up again for final
consideration at the conference
here.
For the first seven days in
San Francisco, there was so
much jockeying for position
that the discussion was delayed.
But now the smoke has been
cleared.
VHERE are a number Of
L other problems beside the
world court to be discussed, OF

TNHE criticism provoked by this typical
l. maneuver by Stain is by no means
directed against Austria, notwithstanding
she is an enemy country. 1t is directed
against the Soviet government.
The strong protests which have been
made in Moscow by the U. S. and British
governments over the formation of the
Soviet sponsored Austrian government
reflect an official attitude which naturally
is shared by the delegations here repre-
senting those countries.
Russia has followed in Austria pre-
cisely the same technique she has used in
establishing political regimes in Romania
and Hungary, acceptable to the Soviets
and completely under the all-dominating
will of the Russian military machine
1t is obvious to observers here that
Stain slipped over a very fast ball. and
succeeded in getting a government of
which he approved established in Vienna
in the very nick of time, that is just before
the Allied armies occupied a large area
of Austrian soil.

She is doing it in violation of and
with violence to all her pledges of

She is doing it with complete
contempt of her Allies.
Naturally, the British govern
ment refuses to recognize the puppet
regime in Austria as provisional

It is not government at all, any

Poland is a government.
1t is an agency of Russia, created
by the hand of Russia and existing

 A Spanish Catholic priest testified that the Japanese also imprisoned 5000 men, women and children in st. Augustine's church, then raped the women in the priests rooms and slew hundreds of the men.

Inmates Of Concentration
 Camp Run Japan--Bailhe

San Francisco, Nov. 6-UP)- Japan is more than a conquered country, it is a concentration camp run by its inmates, under American guards, Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, said in an NEG nationwide broadcast last night.
 Baillie has just returned from a trip throughout the Pacific area during which he interviewed Gen. Macarthur, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and Emperor Hirohito.
 Japan has been quarantined from the outside world Baillie said in a speech on the Richard Hark- ness news broadcast. What kind of country it will be and what kind of people the Japanese will be when they emerge from their present abyss-if they ever do-is something I would not care to predict,
 To Sink Deeper During Winter
 Certainly today she is at the bot tom of the pit and through this winter at least she will sink deeper and deeper.
 aJapar is a vast concentration camp run by its inmates. They hustle for their own food if they vfafi get any They avail themselves of whatever shelter they can impro-. wise, and their American guards just look on.
 If things continue to follow their present trend, Japan will undoubt- sdly become, even more than she IS now. a horrible example for all na- tions which may feel like bullying the.F nelahhoEz and going on the
