MILITARY SUSPICIOUS

Meanwhile, military minds both in the United States and Great Britain feel that the Russians are doing exactly the same thing Hitler did between 1886 and 1889, when he gradually edged into the Rhine land, then Austria, then Czecho- Slovakia.
 This, of course, is the ultra pessimistic view, but 1t is held in some high Anglo-Amerioan coun- cils, so cannot be ignored
 The military mind points out that Russia is taking over the Balkans, next Iran, later Turkey all at a time when the western world is tired of war and when the weary American and British people take much the same attitude to- ward these distant areas that they did toward Austria and Czecho- slovakia in 1888.
 But instead of the give em more room-and-they y'll-be-satisfied policy, there is a certain military school of thought which believes the time for showdown is right now
 The military argue that today we are strong, the Russians relatively weak. They argue that we have exactly one year and half of time left. In one year and a half, the Russians will have perfected the atom bomb. Probably they al ready have the secret, but it will take 18 months to set up factories and produce it.

SURPRISE ATOM ATTACK

After IS months, argue the mili- tary. the.e can be no showdown with Russia for the reason that we won't have anything to show with. Someday we'll wake up and find cur cwn cities atom bombed and the entire USA destroyed in a single afternoon.
 This, of course, is very plain talking. And it may offend some peoples feelings to read it inbla ok and white But while this writer does not at all agree with the military thesis, he does believe that these problems have got to be discussed-openly.
 In one respect, certainly. the military are right The United States could be destroyed by atom bombs in a single afternoon.
 So also could Russia. And that is what the extremists among the Anglo-American military would like to do. They argue, quite brutally that if we don't do it now-Whlle we can-then it will be done to us a year and a half later.
 Unfortunately, there is a group inside Russia which probably feels pretty much the same way.
 This is the cruX of the hard, cold, unfortunate problem faced by Secretary Byrnes at Moscow. That is why I said earlier that his mis- sion is the most vital, the, most im- portant of his long and varied career. It is much more than that. In his diplomatic talks with Molo- toy and Bevin are wrapped up the

Hoover Says Political Rights
Must Be Assured in Charter

Ny second proposal arises from
the fact that the Dumbarton Oaks
plan includes the creation of one
world committee to promote eco
nomic welfare and another to pro-
mote social welfare. Therefore, I
propose the creation of a third
world committee to promote politi-
cal rights 1t is more important
function than the other two world
wide committees, great as they are.
If we are to delegate any part of
our national sovereignty, we have
a right to know exactly what the
standards of conduct of other ma
tions are to be. If the five great
nations are to be above the law
through this voting formula, it be-
comes all the more important that
we definitely express the standards
of conduct to which they are COM
mitted in relation to the smaller
nations and ourselves.
