FOR SECRETARY sTETTINIUs

FUN SEChEI An SIEII1N1US
1t is quite possible for Secretary
Stettinius to improve radically the
relations among the Allies. For
a large part, and perhaps the
most important part, of OUR pres
ent difficulties comes from the
fact that the State Department,
which is dedicated to the Dunbar
ton Oaks proposals, has not yet
made its own policies consistent
with them.
In the immediate present the
most pertinent part of the Dunn
barton Oaks proposals is contained
in Chapter XII, which is entitled
Transitional Arrangements. For
the immediate present is a transi-
tional period first from enemy oc-
cupation to liberation, and then
beyond that from war to peace.
The second paragraph of Chapter
XII states that mo provision OF
the charter should preclude action
taken or authorized in relation to
enemy states as result of the
present war by the governments
having responsibility for such ac-
ton" This is the part of the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals which
the State Department mas never,
so far as 1 know, explained fully
and clearly to our people, nor it.
self appreciated truly and fully in
conducting our foreign relations.
For the basic difference between
the new charter an the old Coven-
ant of the League lies in TINS pro
vision, Chapter XII, 2. During the
transitional period-that is to say
while Germany and Japan are
still on probation and until they
are admitted on equal terms to the
society Of nations-it will not this
Time be the League but it will be
| the principal belligerents, who are
to have responsibility for polio

we grasp this point we have not

,ltaking place in the world, and the
SENATE will not understand what
it is asked to ratify wnen the char
liter is submitted to it.
Chapter XII, 2, does not pre-
clude' and therefore it contem

the enemy states. This is precise

At Saturdays close the market
had a net gain for the week OF

Initiation danger became a mar

All sections of the list shared

TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

them constructively in making ar
arrangements which are absolutely
essential to the success of Dunn
barton Oaks.
The principal governments 'thav-
ing responsibility for policing
Germany are, apart from the Unit
ed States. Great Britain, France,
the Soviet Union, and then with
them the nearest neighbors Of Ger
many, namely Belgium and the
Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, and
Poland. If Germany is to be po-
Iced, these are the policemen, and
what they have been doing is to
organize themselves as police
force for the specific task of polio
ing Germany for a specific period
of time.
They are doing this by series
of bilateral pacts Of mutual as
sistance. These pacts are entirely
consistent with one another and
with the intent and meaning of the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals. For
these pacts are all substantially
alike, and therefore, though they
have been negotiated bilaterally,
the series as whole when it is
completed will constitute a multi
lateral agreement. If by an al
lance is meant an agreement of
two powers to support one another
on all international questions, these
Lacts are not alliances. They are
confined to the single purpose of
pledging the European govern
ments to act together for twenty
years to prevent Germany from
starting a third world war.
Any reader can verify this for
himself by examining the Anglo
Soviet treaty signed by May 26,
1912. h e Czechoslovak Soviet
treaty signed Dec. u, 1913, and
the Franco-Soviet treaty signed
Dec. 10, 1914. This network of
com Elementary agreements will in
the near future be strengthened
by a similar Franco-British pact,
by pacts entered into by Gelgium
and the Netherlands, and even
tually by pact or pacts made by
united Polish government.
These developments, which so
many among us are deploring hys-
terically, are in fact highly con-
structive, are exactly what the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals con
template and they are greatly to
our own American national inter
est. They are necessary and
most important step to achieving
the very thing we are fighting for
in Europe, which is to make GER
tain that Germany cannot make a
third attempt to conquer Europe,
and from Europe to threaten the
rest Of the world
Twice in our generation we have
been compelled to intervene in Eu-
rope because Europe was not
strongly enough organized to check
Il German aggression. These pacts
are being made for the express
purpose of organizing Europe aft
er this war so that in the transit
tional period, when Germany is de-
feated but has not yet been paci-
fled and become peaceable, the
European neighbors of Germany
shall stand together, and not again
he knocked out separately.
If we understand our own Amer
lean interest, and do not let our
! minds heconne ttailidiced and con-
