Aiming for Peace
By George Fielding Eliot

The ideas Of Mr.. Henry A. Wallace
on the subject of American foreign
policy appear naive to the traveller Just
returned from Europe. The ideas Of Mr..
Wallace on the subject of American mill
tary policy 60 beyond mere naivete.
They are patiently absurd.
Mr.. Wallace feels that our present
military policy-including our possession
of a long-range air force and outlying
air bases and our continued production
of atomic weapons-makes 1t appear
either % that we are preparing our
selves to win the war which we regard
as inevitable or CD that We are trying
to build up predominance Of force to
intimidate the rest of mankind" Analy-
sis: We are in fact preparing, on
rather modest scale, all things considered,
to be in position TO win 4 war II a war
should be forced upon us; this does not
by any means imply that our military
leaders and their civilian superiors re-
gard war as inevitable. but merely that
they regard it as possible and, further,
that they wish to prevent it, It is
abundantly clear in all that has been
said on this subject by the President,
the Secretaries of State, War and Navy,
the chief OF staff. the chief of operations
and the commanding general Of the
Army Air Forces, that a primary con-
sideration of our present military policy
is to make the initiation of a war by any
other power SO dangerous, so great q
risk, as to be beyond all prudent calcu-
lation. This is not Ito intimidate the
rest Of mankind" This is to serve as a
check on any among the rest Of man
kind who might be considering q resort
to force in violation Of the principles to
which the nations of the earth have sub
scribed In the United Nations charter.
No one is likely to be intimidated or
disturbed by the existence Of American
power adequate to such . purpose save
those who find that power challenge to
their own future designs.
Mr.. Wallace does not agree with this
reasonable conclusion. He points out
that military men and self-styled real
lists are saying: WHAT'S wrong with try
ing to build up . predominance Of force?
AIlC u0uy WY 70 V4U0osvS p0e~0 80 AoA
this country to be 20 well armed that no
one will dare to attack US. We know
that America will never start q war"
And he goes on to say: The flaw in
this policy is that it simply will not
work" For this statement, he tells us,
the reasons are clear" Let us look at
some of these reasons, Is given by Mr..
Wallace, and see whether they are rs
clear as he Seems to think they are.
Reason No. atomic warfare is cheap
and easy compared with old-fashioned
war. Atomic bombs cost very little
and require only relatively small part
Of . nations production plant and labor
force" Analysis: This is an assumption
frequently made in the past year by per-
sons who have given little real thought
to the nature Of future war or to the
relation Of atomic weapons to the con-
duct Of such vars and to the national
policies Of which war Is only one Of many

United Nations Atomic Energy Com
mission. Bernard NJ Baruch, with
the Presidents and the State De-
partment's authorization, has taken
timely action in making clear that
there has been no change what
soever" in our attitude regarding our
proposal for international control of
the atom. This should serve to re-
move any doubts that may have
been raised abroad by what Henry
A. Wallace has had to say on the
subject In his recently published
July letter to Mr.. Truman.
Besides being vague as to his own
suggested substitute. Mr.. wallace
has betrayed misunderstanding of
the American plan In that he seems
to have the impression that it Is a
take-it-or -leave-it proposal. The fact
Is that Mr.. Baruch has presented 1t
to the United Nations as basis for
beginning our discussion" some
thing open to the criticism Of other
countries and subject to being
broadened or modified by such criti-
cism. As for the idea of efiectuating
it in separate stages" Mr..
Wallace interprets as giving us "un-
fettered discretion" in disclosing our
exclusive knowledge - the General
Assembly of the U. N, with Russia
agreeing, long ago went on record
In favor OF 1t In order to develop the
confidence needed to put real control
into effect-confidence on our part
In giving up our secrets" and con-
fidence on the part of others in plac-
ing such things as their thorium and
uranium resources at the disposal of
a world authority. Moreover. Mr..
Baruch has stated that the separate
stages" and their timing should be
specifically fxed" and that as each
stage is reached the United States
will be prepared to do anything 1t
obligates itself to do under the over
all agreement-an arrangement that
does not sound like "unfettered dis
cretion."
Finally, although Mr.. Wallace can
build reasonable case for his view
that we are being irrelevant" In
insisting that the Big Five veto be
abolished insofar as the atom Is con-
cerned, 1t Is much easier to agree
with Mr.. Baruch's argument that
the unanimity rule could be abused
ito protect those who violate solemn
agreements not to develop or use
atomic energy for destructive pur-
poses" Our plan calls for the most
effective possible control-a control
under which no one nations vote
could undermine . tight interna-
tional supervisory and policing sys-
tenn. The Russians, on the other
hand, have up to now insisted that
the veto should be retained and that
the whole problem can be taken care
Of by little more than an interna-
tional treaty outlawing A-weapons
but leaving each country pretty
much its own master In the field.
It Is sufhciently pointed COM
mentary on Russia's plan that the
only major power favoring 1t Is
Russia itself and that all the others,
together with the smaller nations
not Soviet satellites, are In agree
ment with the essentials of our pro-
posal. 1t Is fair proposal. It Is
the only proposal yet offered that
promises effective atomic control,
without which We most certainly
cannot be expected to yield up our
present advantages. Mr.. Barueh has
done well to emphasize that 1t still
stands, with America fully behind 1t.

REFUND ON FARES
MAY Be ORDERED
State Utilities Commission
Cites Railroads To
Hearing

RALEIGH, Aug. 5 -(P,A- Pro
ceedings intended to compel three
North Carolina railroads to reim-
burse their passengers for over
charges in fares the railroads al
legedly collected in the period
from August 1, 1914 to July Is,
1945 were inaugurated Monday by
the State Utilities commission.
The commission notified the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad, the
Southern railway and the Sea-
board Air Line railroad that it
would hold a hearing on the
matter here on September II.
Will Sign order
At that time the commits sion
will sign an order compelling the
railroads tto pay to each Of the
parties to whom such payments
are que, and all overcharges for
intrastate passenger fares which
were collected during the period
unless the railroads show cause
why the order should not be signed.
The alleged overcharges, which
are estimated to total approx
mately $500, 900, were collected
by the railroads while they and
the utilities commission were in
litigation over increased intra-
state passenger fares sought by
the railroads.
Evidence Necessary
Attorney General Harry McMul-
Ian said that if the order is sign
ed, persons who made intrastate
journeys in passenger coaches OF
the three carriers during the pc
riod would be entitled to a re
fund. In order to collect a refund,
however, a passenger would have
to present the railroad evidence
that the trip actually was made.
State officials were frank to ad-
NIT that it was doubtful if a sub
stantial percentage of the $780,
900 actually would be refunded the
passengers, because few people
keep the records they would need
to prove they are entitled to re
funds. However, after a period Of
years, the amounts not refunded
would be turned over to the Great
err University of North Carolina
as escheats.
Increase Refused
The controversy during
the war when the carriers asked
and received from the Interstate
Commerce permission to increase
their interstate coach fares from
1.65 to % cen IS ger mile. A sim
liar request for an increase in in
trastate rates was refused by the
Utilities commission.
The railroads appealed to the
ICC, and that agency ruled the
order by the State commission in
valid. The State appealed to Fed
| eral District court which upheld
the ICC order. Finally, the Utili-
ties commission appealed to the
U. S. Supreme court, and that
court ruled in favor of the North
Carolina commission.
Increased Fares
However, while the litigation
| was in progress, the railroads be-
gan charging the increased fares
from interstate passengers.
