GAN FRANCISCO. May 5-The dominant
~ figure of the United Nations conference
which is seeking a way to permanent peace
in a world devastated by war is an unassum
ing gentleman sitting quietly at big mahog-
any desk in Washington, 5000 miles away.
President Trumans hand is guiding and
directing every move in the thrilling game of
give and take which is going on behind the
scenes of the San Francisco stage.
Not until the inner secrets of the confer
ence are revealed will it become generally
known how important to the success of this
great congress of nations his role has been.
When the conference first assembled, the
note sounded by all the statesmen represented
in the council was one of immense regret for
the death of President Roosevelt.
1t was felt by many that the mind which
had conceived the conference had left it with
an impaired sense of direction.
I ATELY the delegates to the conference
IL have become more and more conscious
of the leadership of President Truman.
The man whose name only month ago
was unknown to most of the leading states
men of foreign countries is today impressing
his personality and leadership upon the con-
ference with increasing significance.
lHe ullllCulleS confronting the American
delegation here have been far greater than is
generally realized.
1t has been necessary to harmonic view
points so conflicting that only by the pro-
cesses of compromise could they be recon
ciled.
In the reaching of all these compromises
and understandings President Truman has
been in CONSTANT LONG. G.DISTANCE TEL
EPHONIC COMMUNICATION with the
spokesmen Of the American delegation.
In most instances recently this has been
Senator Vandenberg, Michigan Republican,
rather than Senator Connally of Texas and
a member Of the Presidents own party.
Every. night the President, in Washington,
and Senator Vandenberg, from his hotel room
in San Francisco, go over the days events and
accomplishments and~.map the American
course for the following day.
President Truman is adhering with fidelity
and all down the line to the international
policies of his predecessor. 1t was his firm
ness which sustained the American position
regarding Poland as one of uncompromising
adherence TO the agreements reached at Yalta
between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stain.

There still exists grave danger
the development of an INFERIOR
POSTAL SYSTEM"
That is the REAL danger in
the present situation.
IF CONTINUED injustice to the
postal workers simply meant that
these hundreds of thousands of vital
workers would be compelled to exist
on the sub standard living wage they
have endured for the last 20 years,
it would be bad enough.
Mr.. Doherty points out something
WORSE.
ManpoUer shortages Dithin the
postal service are already acute"
he warns.
Management is finding il practi-
coily impossible to recruit needed
personnel on the present outmoded
pay schedules.
Existing critical conditions are
no longer matter affecting letter
carriers and postal Oorkers alone :.

THE future of the postal service is
Il at stake because the underpaid
postal workers are TIRED of sub
standard living, TIRED after 20
years of futile waiting for the per.
formance and fulfillment of broken
promises.
Accordingly, thousands of them
have already gone into other fields
of employment where they can live
the AMERICAN way, and other
thousands will follow them if the
present Congress falls down on it's
promises and duty, as the previous
sessions of Congress have been doing
for the last 20 years.
If for no other reason than the
simple justice of the matter, Con-
gress should approve the postal pay
increase bill; but in the vital PUB

essential and efficient postal system
it must do so. ~

However stubborn Foreign Commissar

asm, Mr. Forbes relates, and it, too,
is of post Yalta origin in Russia.
He points out that after the Yalta
conference the British foreign secre
Ltary, Mr.. Eden, told the House of
Commons that three power agree
ment had been achieved under which
the issue of Poland was to be re.
solved by a meeting of British,
American and Russian ambassadors
in Moscow an explicit assurance
against any UNILATERAL decision
on the Polish issue by Russia alone.
at is noW clear" says Mr..
Forbes, "to all impartial observers
that neither the spirit nor the letter
of Mr.. Eden's Interpretation of the
Yaltn resolution on Poland has been
observed.
"The unilaterai r,easures adopted
by the Kremiin in Poland, and else
where, constitute a BREACH of the
most recent three-poDer agreement"
DERHAPS the most brazen aspect
of this whole situation is that the
official Soviet news agency, Tass,
now says of the Polish issue at Yalta
in fragrant contradiction of every
thing previously and officially said
about it-that "this question not only
rOas not decided, it Wos not eUen
discussed."
Apropos of which, Mr.. Forbes
comments:
MANY OF those Who in the past
haze been among the most sincere
npologists of the SoUiet cause find
Themselves daily provoked by
Prada, insulted by izUestia, and
Wormly abused by the sprightiy
undergraduate rag the War and
the Working Glasses"
Mr.. Forbes concluded his ap-
praisal of the situation regarding
Poland with the following quotation
from Winston Churchill which
should be on the desk of every dele
gate to the San Francisco confer
ence:
The rOhole history OF the World
is summed up in the fact that When
nations are strong they are not
oipoys just, and When they Dish to
be Iust they are often no longer
strong let US haUe this blessed
union OF poDer and justice"
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-07

THE post Office committee of the
l. House of Representatives, after
many weeks of consideration, has
finally given favorable and unani-
nous action to the long pending
measure designed to give the thou.
sands of postal workers in the United
States their first basic pay increase
in TWENTY YEARS.
This is an important step in the
direction of according justice to the
postal workers, but of course ONLY
step.
Many times in recent years the
postal workers have seen their petit
tion for adequate pay get this far,
and no farther.
Committees have reported favor
ably on the matter before, without
achieving the ends of acknowledged
justice.
On several occasions, one House
or the other of Congress has actually
passed the postal pay increase bill.
PUT it is no credit to the Con-
- gress, and none to the country
as whole, that none of these "steps
in the right direction" have ever re.
suited in upward adjustment of the
shamefully low pay of the postal
workers
This time the bill MUST PASS.
This is true because it is no longer
only a matter of doing simple justice
to the postal workers that is in
volved.
President William G. Doherty of
the National Association of Letter
Carriers made this clear in recent
letter to Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst.
Mr.. Doherty wrote to Mr.. Hearst
because, as he said, "the Hearst
newspapers have had wholesome
effect in focusing public attention to
the plight of the postal workers.
"The crusade conducted by your
newspapers" he continued, Stands
out like a beacon light.
"Every citizen should be grateful
for the magnificent manner in tOhich
you haue sounded the warning.

THE suspicion has long been
Il strong, and is now confirmed from
a most significant source, that many
nations now participating in the San
Francisco conference are doing so
without enthusiasm for it.
It is we'll known that Soviet
Russia originally appointed dele
cation to the conference headed by
the Russian ambassador to the
United States, thus pointedly indi.
eating its lack of major interest.
Only at the last minute did the
Russian government assign Mr..
Molotov to the mission, raising it to
the "foreign minister" level.
But if it has been supposed that
only Russia originally had this luke
warm interest in the conference,
there may be wide margin of error
in the supposition.

Yalta to hold the San Francisco con-
ference was sufficiently uncontro-

there was later change of attitude.
Subsequently, he said, "The hold.
ing of this conference has become
a matter of fierce controUersy.
"Perhaps only in the United
States does the meeting arouse
great enthusiasm"
MIR. FORBES cites several rea-
4'A sons for this change in attitude.
All of them have emerged from
Russia's actions SINCE Yalta.
One of them was the post Yalta
