most outstanding reasons to corr

Mr.. Creecy has evidently gone
into this matter very thor

Papers such as yours will
naturally carry the burden of
placing all details before the
public, at least until more wake

now are promoted for certain
personal benefits.

The "Periscope Mine" is an
ordinary sea mine with a
periscope mounted on top.

vessel will be destroyed in
attempting to ram.

had been submitted to the San

agreed TO do So"
But the American represent
atives stated" the White House
communique continued, "that II
the United Nations organization
agreed to let the Soviet repub-

THAT same day there was a
l. meeting of the American
delegation.
II was at once revealed that
Il was badly split over the dis
covery of the secrecy that had
envelope the Yalta conference,
and the granting of three votes
TO Russia.
II will be recalled that Sena-
tor Vandenberg of Michigan,
representing the Republican
side of the Senate on the dele
CATION, already had received
assurances from the President
that the American delegation at
San Francisco would be unre-
stricted.
On the basis OF that assur-
ance he had accepted a place on
the delegation.
But here was a discovery
the import of which was as
deadly as dynamite.
A T THE time Mr.. Vandenberg
"A had received this pledge of
freedom OF action, the Presi-
dent already had agreed with
Stain at Yalta in a way which
clearly restricted the freedom

Now a split In the American
delegation on the voting ques-
ton has been averted by this
mastery presidential backdown.
And John Bull still has his
six votes-and Stain his three.
AS Will Rogers said, we never
lost a war or won a conference.
TvHE suspicion that the Presi-
l. dent may have entered into
more secret understandings at
Yalta than have been revealed
in the matter of the voting
strength of the Soviet repub-
lies. has finally destroyed the
chance for that speedy enact
ment of enabling legislation

weeks ago.

i amusing backdown on three
votes for the United States, in
the assembly of the world Sc
curity organization, has paved
the way for continuing with the
San Francisco conference.
1t so obviously has saved the
American delegation from an
impending ms jor embarrass-
ment, that it seems fair to con-
clude that the retreat OF the
President, under a hot fire. was
decided upon as essential if the
American delegation were TO be
saved from an open split.
When the news leaked out
that Roosevelt had agreed Sc
cretly with Stain at Yalta that
the Soviets at their request
would have three votes in the
assembly. the American dele
CATION 10 the san Francisco
conference and the state de-
partment were thrown into a
condition of filters.
1t had been supposed that all
the nations. big and little, would
be on terms Of sovereign
equality"
HERE was a premature dis
IL closure that in the assembly
the British empire would have
SIX VOTES, and that the Presi-
dent had consented that Russia
should have three. although he
had not revealed this in his re-
port to the Congress on his
return from the Crimea. For az
days il was blackout.

There is a name for that sort
Of double talk. but let it pass!
AS practical matter what it
meant was that the American
delegation, casting one vote in
the San Francisco conference,
and that one vote determined
by a majority vote of the dele
CATION, would be confronted at
the United Nations meeting with
a frightful dilemma:
II could either tamely submit
to being hog-tied by the secret
Yalta agreement. or II a ma
jority Of the delegation would
not agree to that secret agree
ment, it could do so only by
REPUDIATING THE PRESI-
DENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IN FULL VIEW OF
THE ENTIRE WORLD.
OBVIOUSLY in order to pre-
~ vent this embarrassment,
the President changed his
stance.
On Tuesday OF this week,
Secretary of State Stettinius
issued a statement saying:
"The President has decided
that at the San Francisco con-
ference the United states will
not request additional votes for
the United States In the gen.
eral assembly"
There has been considerable
suspicion here. but no confirma-
tion, that Senator Vandenberg's
attitude, perhaps a threat to
resign from the delegation, had
forced this Napoleonic retreat
by the President.
Vandenberg is known to be
pleased with the adverse posi-
ton taken by Roosevelt and
Churchill on the admission Of

INNOVATIONS IN NAZI SUBMARINE WARFARE
Water Donkey Periscope
Mine Designed to Balk
Detection Methods

A NUMBER of innova-
"a tions in U-boat war
fare have been put to
use by the Germans in re-
cent months, according to re-
ports from Stockholm.
These include: Cutting
away and streamlining almost
the whole of the upper struc-
ture forward Of the coming
tower to add extra speed in
the mounting of a
telescope" h elicopter of
light metal alloy.
This is little more than a
seat and a joy-stick on a
tubular frame with a hell
copter screw attached to the
steel cable and able to rise to
900 feet; secret radar devices
to attempt to avoid detection
by Allied aircraft and war
ships; the Diesel Luftmast,
or, as the Allies call it, the
"SchnOrkeP'-a combined air
intake and exhaust abaft the
periscope and enabling the
U-boat to cruise indefinitely
below the surface at peri
scope depth on Diesel motors
instead of using the electric
motors.
THERE are also a number
Il Of "spOof" g a d dgets of
doubtful value of which the
most notable are the "Water
Donkey" and the "Periscope
Nine" The "Water Donkey"
is a dummy U-boat coming
tower and periscope towed
behind a U-boat in coastal
waters at the end Of 5000
feet of steel cable.
When the dummy is at
tackled the U-boat command
er can cause the release of
smoke. oil and air bubbles,
together with "U-boat wreck
age" stored in a special COM
partment.
The dummy is THEN
SUNK by the flooding of
chambers and the genuine
U-boat casts off the cable and
proceeds under surface to
safety.

THE Hearst newspapers foresaw
Il that a most useful and wholesome
purpose would be served by Bible
Week and have always wholeheart-
edly supported it, and they now
foresee that similarly instructive
and beneficial purpose will be served
by Sunday School Week and will
enthusiastically support it.
The Sunday school, as a supple
nentary church activity, is an in
stitution of great significance in
American religious life, and of pro-
found importance to the complete
education of American youth.
It is an institution maintained
and honored by all religions.
It is an essential institution for
giving a child his first knowledge of
the Bible, for giving him an enduring
understanding of the beautiful and
inspiring Bible story.
TT Is a constructive activity for
those who give their time and
energies and personal interest as or
ganizers and teachers.
It is of great profit to children,
and is popular with them.
Children who attend Sunday
school regularly are assured of an
atmosphere and environment in
which they have the guidance of
earnest and clean minded and high
principled men and women who
realize the Importance of religious
education and spiritual inspiration

WORLD VISITORS FIND
WELCOME IN PEACE CITY

If any incentive were needed to guide
and encourage the hundreds of ENJOYS
to the United Nations conference in writ
ing an international peace charter, GER
tainly the beautiful, metropolitan, thriv-
ing city on San Francisco Bay offers all
that and more. There these world Wis
itors find, first a genuine welcome. Next
they can visualize the difference between
a free city built up in a free country,
and the cities from which many of the
delegates come which have been built in
the atmosphere of. ancient and current
spirit of restricted freedom and political
jealouses.
In San Francisco there is proof of what
can and does transpire in a democracy.
AS individuals these ENJOYS who have
come from more than forty nations must
sense the very difference between the
product of free enterprise and the rsult
of dictatorship and the tribute that peo-
pie pay to power politics. The same pic
ture would prevail had the peace confer
ence been called in any other city in
America.
America may not be a model democ-
racy; the visitors may see many flaws as
they place their own interpretations on
our brand of freedom and democracy.
But they must be aware of the futility of
setting up a world organization unleSS
somewhere in the structure there is i'm
bedded the seed of democracy and per-
sonal liberty. There is much these am
bassadors for peace must leave behind,
be it tradition or just plain stubbornness.
Compared to the passage of time and
the periods Of warfare and strife which
have held back many of the nations rep
resented at the meet, the disaster that
laid San Francisco could be called re-
cent. AS the visitors view the city on
the bay, it will be difficult for any to
find trace of the 1906 tragedy. And
if they will they readily may learn that
great city was rebuilt without call for
world help.
AS these facts begin to sink in it is
more and more apparent that the selec-
tion of an American city for the confer
ence indeed was a wise one.
Here is a modern, thriving, peaceful
city, a metropolis of country always
abhorring war and loving peace.
The fault will be with the negotiators
and not the setting if genuine world
peace charter is not written there.

GOVERNMENT BY
CORPORATION
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Union)
Several years ago, when the federal
government decided on a policy of going
into business in many forms of enter
prise, it took a leaf from the old-time
stock promoters who used to slip over
to Delaware and incorporate, that state
then being most lenient in corporation
requirements. AS a result, we have a
whole flock of government corporations
doing business on their own. Fe VIPER
sons, even in congress, realize the eX-
tent, financial involvement and diver
sty of these super-governmental bodies.
Lindsay c. Warren is comptroller
general of the United States. His office
is nonpartisan and his job is scrutiniz-
ing governmental expenditures. Mr..
Warren appeared before the senate
banking committee the other day IN be-
half of bill to bring all government
corporations under strict control of con-
gress. He told the members that there
are now 101 government corporations
doing business, adding:
"They are largely independent of
congressional control and free from ac-
countability to the executive. This
thing we call government has reached
gargantuan proportions and is sprawled
all over the lot.
''It. has become greater than congress,
its creator, and at times arrogantly
snaps its fingers in the face of congress.
"The most necessary thing | know of
today along governmental lines is
thorough-going reorganization of the
executive branch of the government. 1t
should be done scientifically.
But once thesdecision is made, then a
bush-ax or a meat cleaver should be
used"
These are the words of patriotic and
disinterestad expert. They should jar
congress and the people into some ac-
tion to take government away from fed
eral corporations and put it back under
the Constitution.
