The Dumbarton Oaks scheme pro-
vided that the five great powers should
maintain large forces of arms instantly
ready to prevent aggression. The veto
introduced by the Crimean compromise
enables any great power ID to COM
INIT aggression If it likes, and 20 to
veto any action by the other powers to
prevent the aggression. That is to say
the large armaments proposed at Dunn
barton Oaks are to be kept in constant
readiness but their purpose is reserved.
They are free to commit but are not
permitted to prevent aggression. OBJ
viously this never was intended and 1t
will have to be modified.
Aggressions by small powers can be
stopped without much trouble unless
they are instigated or supported by
powerful protector To this must be
added that small powers seldom en-
gage in wars unless they have the pre-
viously promised support of great powers,
but the test whether great powers can
get on together is not something for the
unknown future-it is, alas, OF the
present.
At the opening of the San Francisco
Conference that test is the issue Of
Poland. Both in this country and the
United States the governments recog-
nize it as the test. They are united in
that the Crimea agreement must be
scrupulously kept.
Mr. Roosevelt. in particular was not
wholly satisfied with the frontiers drawn
in Yalta, but accepted them for the
sake of agreement. Neither here nor in
the United States is the London govern
ment any ones pet. Every pressure has
been put upon it and on the individual
or former members to make peace with
Moscow. But both governments are re-
solved that Poland, within whatever
'rontiers. shall have a government of
IS own choice with all parties that par
icipated in resistance to Germany able
present their views without fear of
Impression or arrest and with the will
Of the majority absolutely free to
function.
If that first test of the world organi-
zation fails, the augury for its future
success will be poor indeed.

What Next in Italy?

Strategically speaking, the war in
Italy has been decided The Allied
capture of Bologna smashed the
keystone of the German defense
system and forced them into head
long flight, under merciless pound
ing from the Allied air arm, which
has complete mastery of the Italian
skies. The only German line of re-
treat is to the northeastward into
the mountain fastnesses of Trentino
and Istria. and it is questionable
how many of their troops, and espe-
cially how much of their equipment,
can reach those havens. The rapid
liberation of virtually all Northern
Italy is assured.
This means that interest in the
Italian theater shifts from war to
politics. The north is proverbially
the most important part of Italy in
almost every respect. Agricultural
ly and induStrially it tops the rest
of the peninsula, while its inhabi-
tants are pre-eminent in vigor and
enterprise. Until this outstanding
section had been freed from Ger
man domination, Italian reconstruc-
tion had to mark time and political
decisions were perforce kept in abey-
ance. That is why the regime in
stalled at Rome year ago has had
so provisional a character and why
the Allied Control Commission has
been constrained to exercise so large
a measure of authority.
While the reunification of Italy
will ultimately simplify the task of
reconstruction. trying interim pc
riod must first be faced. First of
all, the Fascist collaborators of the
Germans will have to be dealt with.
After the fall of Rome. most of the
Fascist leaders escaped to the north
ward under the titular headship of
their old chief. Mussolini. who had
been daringly rescued by German
paratroopers. The upshot was the
establishment of a neo-Fascist re-
gime which, though dependent on
German bayonets, has functioned
sufficiently to keep down the patri-
otic Partisans and maintain eco
nomic activity. The sudden collapse
Of this regime may cause a violent
outburst of the ultraradical ele-
mentS which have always been
strongest in the great industrial
centers Of Milan and Turin, and the
repercussion of such an upheaval
would be instantly felt on the pre-
carious political balance of forces in
the provisional government at Rome.
The resultant crisis would somehow
have to be dealt with by the Allied
authorities. who still have the last
word in Italy Just how this crucial
period would be handled depends
on number of factors today un-
known and perhaps unpredictable,
But it is obvious that the problem
thus presented will be neither SIM
pie nor easy of solution.

Dr.. Butler Retires

News of the resignation of DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler from the
presidency of Columbia University
will bring to many of his fellow
citizens sense of sorrow and loss
which they will not find it difficult
to explain. He has been much more
than merely the executive head of
a great educational institution. His
influence goes round the world and
will reach far beyond his own epoch.
The explanation, obviously, is to
be found in the intellectual energy
with which DR.. Butler from his boy
hood onward always has been en-
dowed He began his career with
what properly may be called "a
flying start" Graduating from high
school at thirteen, he was through
college at an age when few of his
contemporaries had emerged from
their freshman experience. BY 1901
he had qualified himself to succeed
Seth Low as mentor and guide of
his alma mater, then boasting
student registration of $500 and a
faculty of 489. The task to which
he set his talents was that of en-
larging both the service of Columbia
and its number of benehciaries.
In his labors, certainly, he had
able assistants, but DR.. Butler is
entitled to credit for even that cir
cumstance since it was the president
personally who developed the head
quarters STAFF Of the university. He
may not have dominated Columbia,
yet 1t will not be denied that he
truly governed and directed it dur

The German Pockets"

From somewhere inside tottering
Germany Hitler's "Werewolves" now
broadcast to the world that the Nazis
propose to make this an endless
war;" fighting on to the death, no
matter what happens. Let all of the
Reich fall apart, they say, but still
they will fight on. They will fight
in the Netherlands. They will fight
in the ports of the Baltic and the
North Sea. They will fight in Den
mark and Norway. They will fight
in the mountains of Bavaria and
Austria. They will fight everywhere
even at the North Pole. if need be-
Overlooking the fire breathing
rhetoric, this threat cannot be taken
too lightly. In the areas mentioned by
the "Werewolves" - excepting the
North Pole.' of course - there are
many thousands of veteran German
troops, some 100000 being reported
in Norway alone. and to clean out
these pockets" may call for a great
deal of heavy fighting by our Allied
forces long after organized warfare
is at an end in Europe. In fact, ac-
cording to some estimates, the mop
ping-up operations may extend into
next fall, and possibly even into the
winter.
But though prudence demands
that we be prepared for this posi-
bility. common sense seems to argue
against those who would exaggerate
it unduly. For the German pockets"
are isolated, and they cannot ade-
quately supply themselves. and the
troops in them know that resistance
is hopeless against the overwhelming
Allied land, sea and air power that
can be concentrated against them.
In the circumstances, it is not incon-
ceivable that the job of liquidation
will take much less time than ap-
pears likely at the moment. Actu-
ally, nobody can tell with any Ger
tainty just what will happen. We
can reckon only with possibilities,
and if protracted struggle is pos
sible quick collapse is possible. too.
At any rate. it is fact that our
American forces cleaned up the Ruhr
in less than a months time. This
was an immense pocket. far bigger
than any now being mentioned, and
it could have been converted by the
Nazis into several Stalingrads. Yet,
once we applied full pressure. it
swiftly fell to pieces and more than
100000 enemy troops became our
prisoners. The same thing, of course,

Stain places so much Importance on
the good health and safety of his prin-
cipal diplomatic lieutenant that he has
forbidden him to fly by night.
This explanation, however. was ac-
cepted with a certain amount of skep-
ticism by some diplomats. They believe
that the arrival of Mr. Molotov was
timed to coincide with the official an
nouncement that the Lublin committee
had been officially recognized-as 1t
existed before the Yalta agreements
by Premier Stain himself.
1t would be undertaking to say that
the failure to reach an agreement in
Washington has been disappointment
to our highest officials. They had hoped
that San Francisco was ready for a
big and very hopeful start if its first
sessions brought forth the good tidings
of junction of all the Allies in Ger
many, the fall of Berlin and full
understanding in the diplomatic field
among the three most important men,
bers of the United Nations. Under such
circumstances the other difficulties and
problems which the conference will in
evitably meet would have appeared in
consequential
What determined Premier Stain to
undertake another unilateral action on
the eve of the opening of that conference
is difficult to understand at this time.
The personalities in the Polish govern
ment it is re-emphasized in American
and British official quarters, are of little
importance. 1t was of paramount i'm
portance, however, to show to the world
that the Big Three stand united in
their desire to cooperate.
The only thing America and Britain
required of the Soviet government was
to make good its pledge at Yalta that
no unilateral actions would be taken
henceforth. In order to accomplish
this aim Washington and London passed
the sponge over the Romanian, Bull
garian and Hungarian questions. They
were accomplished facts and all they
wished Russia to do was to refrain from
further such actions.
Within two days after Mr.. Truman
took his oath of office, reports from Mos
COW indicated clearly that Russia would
give favorable Interpretation to the
Yalta agreements regarding Poland and
a new government would be formed
before the San Francisco Conference
All this was changed in few days and
America and Britain were confronted
last week end with another unilateral
action which made a large hole in the
fabric of the unity of the Big Three.

various proposals which it will make
looking to the amendment of the Dunn

formed into the permanent working of
the charter. To do this would not be
helpful, because it is quite possible that
the American proposals may not all be
adopted: there will have to be compro-

sideration given to the views of others,
There is nothing to be gained by giving
ammunition to the critical in the form
of chance to charge that the American
delegation has failed" because it did not
get this or that detail of its proposals
into the charter
The truth is that the charter. when
finally adopted, will represent compro-
mise among various points of view. No
one will get everything he wants. 1t
is probable that, as in the case of our
own Constitutional Convention, the final
result will not be wholly satisfactory to
any individual delegate or wholly salts

what greatly counts Is that the delegates
and the nations they represent shall un-

principle The important thing is to
begin with something on which all can
agree, and work out the details after

There can of course be no compromise
with principle. This conference is as
sembling here to see to it that the dead
of this war shall not have died in vain;
that means shall be created by which
mankind may in future, granted good
will and mutual confidence, prevent the
recurrence of the present holocaust.
Given these means, the task of applying
them to concrete problems is for the
future-it Is indeed a task which will
never be finished
What is done here will be only be-
ginning; it is beginning that must be
made: it is unthinkable that it should
not be made. But it will be the ceaseless
task of generations of mankind to build
upon that beginning a structure d en-
during peace and security. Mistakes
will be made and will have to be recti-
fed. Human failings will retard the
progress of the great work. But it must
not fail. It is in that spirit of determi-
nation that the work begins here in San
Francisco; If it is carried on in that
spirit, there can be no possibility OF
failure.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

LONDON tBy Wireless) The San
Francisco Conference opens today with
the greatest hopes, but alas not without
considerable fears. In this country its
statutes have been debated in both
houses of Parliament in extenso, dis
cussed on very high level in the press.
and have furnished an endless topic of
conversation in private gatherings.
The Dumbarton Oaks plan has both
its supporters and critics here. but
among the latter are few who will not
accept it in lieu of anything better and
in the hope that with time 1t will be
improved.
Supporters, who on the whole are
more often Conservative than Liberal
or Labor, say the Dumbarton Oaks plan
avoids hypocrisy and recognizes the
world situation for what it is. The old
League pretended to be able to settle
the quarrels of great powers and failed.
The new League does not even pretend.
and SO long as great powers do not
quarrel the new organization will be
able to prevent minor wars and do much
useful work. 1t is better, says the Econ
omist, that these limitations should be
realized from the beginning and those
dangerous illusions of millennial peace
that stood at the cradle Of the old
League should not greet the birth of
the new.
In general the viewpoint is that al
though there could be much better
schemes for an international organiza-
ton than that drawn up at Dumbarton
Oaks, none would be practical in pres
ent circumstances because none would
be accepted by the present Allies.
The opposition to this viewpoint has
perhaps been best and most briefly ex-
pressed by Prof Gilbert Murray, lead
ing champion since the last war of E
general system of collective security
Prof Murray. in letter to the London
Times, says, Il have read many speeches
on the Crimean compromise with grow
ing conviction that people do not under
stand what a profound reversal it in
wolves Of the Dumbarton Oaks policy
and how absolutely necessary it will be
to reconsider one part of it,"

In Praise of Prayer

To the Editor of The Star:
Since so much emphasis is being
placed on the efficacy of prayer as
contributing factor for the successful
outcome of the San Francisco United
Nations Security Conference, please give
space to these beautiful lines from
Tennyson's "Morte d'Arthur";;
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore
let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and
day.
For what are men better than sheep
or goats
That nourish a blind life within the
brain,
If. knowing God, they lift not hands Of
prayer
Both for themselves and those who call
them friends?
For 80 the whole round earth Is every
way
Bound by gold chains about the feet
Of God" G. P. D.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-The men
and women who are coming here as
delegates to the United Nations Con-
ference are not wildly enthusiastic, but
grimly determined. Their spirit is well
expressed in the phrase which Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan used to this
writer: THE conference must not
fail" That is the prevailing tone
Despite all obstacles, despite all initial
disagreements, despite the certainty of
many that cherished amendments will
not be adopted by the majority, never
theless the conference must not fail.
The stakes are too high-nothing less
than the future of humanity.
Most of the delegates and certainly
most Of the American staff members
clearly are aware of what they mean
when they say that the conference must
not fail They know what it must not
fail to do-that it must not fail to make
beginning, to take the first step on a
long and difhcult road. There are few
indeed who suppose that we shall see
this conference result in anything more
than framework of an organization of
nations which, when 1t is finally set
up and begins its work, may be able to
solve some of the worlds difficulties
which, if left uhsolved, might lead to
war. They realize that even such mod
crate success will be possible only if
the framework is just that-a frame
work and no more. They understand
the danger of trying here at San Fran
cisco to clothe that framework with
too much detail of construction and
ornament. That task is for the future.
The fundamental hope is that a means
may be found to give expression to the
principles which shall guide the nations
in their relations with each other, and
that machinery may be provided by
means of which the nations may take
common action, in accordance with
those principles, to meet the unforesee-
able contingencies of the future. But to
try to foresee exactly what those con-
tingencies may be, and provide against
them in advance by the adoption OF
rigid, detailed codes of law would not
further the purpose for which these
delegates are assembling.
This general line of thought applies
even to preliminary discussion. For
example: There have been several Sug-
gestions, well in advance of the confer
ence, that the word Justice" should
appear prominently in the charter of the
organization to be established here. To
say that is helpful because 1t is matter
OF principle. But the United States
