TOMATO BLIGHT

Frunce and the Suor

reiterated representations by our
occupational authorities in Ger
many concerning the actions of the
French occupational officials in the
Saar draw attention to potentially
troublesome aspect of the already
complex problem of Germany.
The Saar is geographically small
but induStrially important area lying
just north of French Lorraine. It's
Importance Is due to its rich coal
deposits which have made of it a
hive of heavy industry, supporting a
population of nearly 100000 accord
ing to the census of 1899. France has
/, made no secret of it's desire to annex
this district which is economically
interviewer with the adjacent Lor-
raine iron fields. Indeed, France
strongly urged It's annexation after
World War I, but was forced to ac-
cept compromise in the shape of a
League Mandate over the Saar for
fifteen years, France having a IA
yored economic status during that
period in recompense for German
destruction of French coal mines.
Despite French efforts to encourage
Saar separatism, the inhabitants
voted overwhelmingly to return to
Germany in plebiscite held accord
ing to the Versailles settlement in
1885.
American objections to French
actions in the Saar are twofold. For
several months, our occupational
authorities have had reports that
important factory equipment was
being moved from other parts of the
French zone to the Saar, and Ameri-
can inquiries have been countered by
French answers that its interzone
actions were none of our concern.
This was followed, last week end, by
the sudden setting up of customs
barrier between the Saar and the
rest of Germany by French authori-
ties. That action has been strongly
protested by our occupational au-
thorities, and their representations
have been repeatedly seconded by
the British. The objections are based
upon the fact that this action was
done unilaterally without previous
consultation or notification to the
inter-Allied Council or to the other
Allied foreign offices.
This matter of the Saar is part of
larger difficulty which has tended
to set France in opposition to the
western powers. France wants con-
sideration of its claims to a special
status over the Rhineland and the
|Ruhr in advance of the economic
integration of Germany which
America and Britain strongly desire.
France points to the advantages
already gained by Soviet Russia and
its protege, Poland, as justification
for its insistence upon what it con-
SiderS its just due in the settlement
of Germany's western border. The
present actions of its occupatio au-
thoritieS suggests that the French
may have decided to present its col
lea CUES with a similar accomplished
fact"

from the offensive to the defensive in
Europe and the Middle East. Here mill
tary indications are of great value; for
an offensive policy by a land power
demands strong striking forces sited
we'll forward, ready to take advantage
of any favorable opportunity - such
forces as the Russians have until recent
ly maintained in Germany, Poland and
other occupied countries, far beyond the
requirements of mere occupation and
police. The very fact that the Russians
are now making drastic reductions in
their occupation forces indicates shift
20 the defensive.
But if, because of western resistance
and Russian economic shortages, the
conspicuous. dramatic expansion in
Europe and the Middle East is to be
abandoned for the time being, is that
any guaranty that slower and less OBJ
vious methods of expanding Russian
influence and power in the two Asiatic'
vacuums-India and China-wiu like
wise. be neglected?
Those who ask this question-and
they are not few in number-seek again
in history guide to Russian policy.
After the Napoleonic wars, they point
out. the Russians were aggressively
active in European affairs for the first
half of the 18th century. But Rus
sian aggression brought rising anxiety
in England and France, and in 1854 a
new Russian threat to Turkey brought
about the Crimean War, the loss of the
fortress of Sevastopol, the death of
Nicholas (from a broken heart, it is
said, and the grim lesson that at the
outer limits of the empire Russian
power could not hope to concentrate
as rapidly and effectively as the power
of those nations which commanded the
sea.
What happened9 The Russians
turned to landward expansion in Asia.
During the next 80 years they acquired
their central Asian and maritime
provinces, came to the marches of
India, were checked there by British
power. In the succeeding 20 years they
turned to the Far East, to China, until
stopped by Japan in 1904 Now British
power in India is waning, the japanese
Empire lies PROSTATE, and the two great
est reservoirs of manpower in the world
are seething with discomfort and civil
strife. The Russians have perhaps been
stopped in Europe. Will they once more
turn eastward? There are some signs
that they may do SO. For the next few
months, any Indications (of which the
Dairen incident may be an example)
which suggest that the Asiatic policy Of
the Kremlin is more aggressive in char
acter than its European policy will be
noted with grave attention in the chan
celleries and intelligence Offices of the
world.

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,vn

From this point Of view its officials
are correct But If the Soviet govern
ment were as anxious as we are to make
real the apparent improvement in rela-
tions, 1t should do its part and avoid
insults which make us lose face among
the Chinese and other Far Eastern peo-
Piles.
Face is extremely important in that
part OF the world. In the heyday OF
their expansion in Asia the Japanese
cost us a great deal of it. They created
local Incidents, then apologized pro-
fusely. Their apologies were well re-
ceived by the appeasemept-hungry State
Department, but never reached the hum
dreds of millions of Asiatics who knew
of the insults which occasioned them.
Americans on the spot in China fear
that a similar policy is being repeated
by the Soviets at a time when their
Yenan proteges are suffering setbacks
from the American-assisted Central
Government at Marking.
xx
Moreovef, since the occupa ton of Kali
gan by the Central Government troops
all lines of land communication between
Communist forces in the north and
Manchuria have been. cut. The only re-
naming point of contact between Yenan
and the remaining Communist forces
in Manchuria is by sea through Dairen
Dairen and its surrounding area was
to be demilitarized, according to the
Sino- Russian treaty of August Is, 1945.
But the treaty is couched in such terms
that the Soviet interprets 1t to mean
that Dairen's demilitarization and joint
administration shall come into effect
only after peace treaty with Japan has
been signed.
Meanwhile, Dairen serves as train
ing, supply, reinforcement and evacua-
tion point for the Yenan forces. The
Chinese Communists are at liberty to
operate from the base under cover of
the Soviet forces stationed at nearby
Port Arthur. There Is a good deal of
military activity in the area, which
the Soviet commander in chief naturally
wishes to conceal. This is considered
the principal reason why he refused
even to see the American consul general
and the naval officer in command OF
the courier ship when they tried to get
permission for the three Americans to
land.
Somebody obviously blundered in
granting them the right to go to Dairen
and the Soviet officials there decided to
correct the mistake even at the price Of
stepping on American toes.

AvoidubIe Fire Hazards

Fire Chief Clement Murphy's S
strong stand against a blanket sus-
pension of f1re-safety enforcement,
as proposed by the Commissioners,
is well taken. The reason given for
the suggested postponement is the
current shortage of materials, but
Chief Murphy has reason to believe
that the cry of shortages in some
instances may be merely a conven-
lent excuse for stalling and perhaps
eventually escaping compliance. He
cited at public hearing the case
OF hotel which gave the usual
material shortage" explanation to
an inspector who inquired why a
standpipe had not been installed,
when, in fact, the materials for the
safety equipment were obtainable in
Baltimore.
The fact is that some of the safe
guards required by District regula-
tions could have been-but were not
installed when materials were
abundant. Lenient enforcement
enabled unwilling owners to post
pone improvements until the situa-
ton had reached the existing haz-
ardous degree, with more than 1000
Of the city's hotels, apartments,
Office buildings and other structures
violating one or more of the stand
ard fire-safety regulations.
City officials cannot afford to con-
tinue complacent regarding this
situation in view of the recent fire
tragedies in Chicago, Atlanta and
elsewhere. A blanket suspension of
enforcement until next November
would tend to invite complacency on
the part of those property owners
who have been wont to procrasti-
nate in the past. No doubt some
safety measures are, in truth, i'm
possible of realization today. and it
is possible that, entirely aside from
the availability of materials. some
of the regulations may be unreason-
able. But it is necessary that the
regulations be enforced and modified
only on the presentation of accept
able evidence that compliance with
them is impossible or impracticable.
The Commissioners would be serving
the public interest by requiring the
owners of buildings to show cause, in
each case. why conditions regarded
As fire hazards cannot be remedied.
Blanket suspension of regulations
for another interval Is unwiSe.

Firinq Mr.. Adumson

Earlier this month 1t was reported
that Ernie Adamson was to be
replaced as counsel for the House
Committee on Un-American Activ-
tiles. Consequently, there may be
more bark than bite in yesterdays
announcement by Representative
Thomas, Republican, of New Jersey
that II he becomes chairman of the
committee his first official act will
be to fire Mr.. Adamson. The latter
is In hot water because report
which he had prepared as counsel
was released for publication before
it had been submitted to or approved
by the members of the committee,
and If Mr.. Adamson was responsible
for this premature release he ought
to be fired.
The report was one of those blum
derbuss indictments of Communists,
suspected Communists, aliens, ETC.,
which. have been typical of this
committee in years past and which
fhave done so much to discredit
its work. 1t is easy enough to
damage the regulations of private
citizens when committee of Con-
gress publicizes such charges as
those set forth in the Adamson re-
port. But, in some instances at
least, when a committee takes this
action, there is presumption that
the evidence has been weighed and
a balanced judgment reached. This
certainly is not the case, however,
when an individual who is not even
a member of Congress uses the
privilege which attaches to his posi-
ton to give vent to his own suspi-
cions and prejudices, and Repre-
sentative Thomas is entirely justified
in saying that he will not tolerate
such tactics.
1t might be suggested, however,
that the firing" of Mr.. Adamson
is not going to accomplish a great
deal. Entirely too many committees
of Congress are content to let their
counsel write their reports, with the
committee members doing little
more than going through the mo-
tions of reading and approving
them. II the activity Of congress
sional committees Is to inspire public
confidence and respect. the commit
tees themselves are going to have to
do more of the work

Arqentine-ChiIeun Pact

AlLnOugn cOpcluded IN the form or
a commercial treaty for the specific
term of five years, the pact recently
signed between Argentina and Chile
is not only of profound economic
significance but has far-reaching
political implications as we'll.
The terms of this agreement in
terlock the economies of the two
countries SO closely that it is hard
to see how they can ever again be
unScrambled. This is because. from
the strictly economic viewpoint, Ar
gentina and Chile logically compile
ment each other. Argentina has
immense agricultural wealth, pro-
ducing big surpluses of cereals and
livestock products; whereas Chile,
which is geographically the narrow
shelf between the Andes Mountains
and the Pacific Ocean. has so little
arabic land that it is not self-feed-
ing. However, Chile possesses mineral
wealth that Argentina lacks, includ-
ing newly discovered oilflelds What,
therefore, could economically be
more logical than the welding of
these supplementary economies into
an integrated whole?
The idea itself is not new. 1t has
been proposed by. economists in both
countries for many years, though ma
tionalistic considerations have hith-
erto stood in the way, especially
from the Chilean side. And it is a
curious commentary that the project
has been realized at the very time
when Argentina is ruled by highly
ambitious regime. headed by Presi-
dent Peron, which makes no secret
of it's hopes of dominating at least
the southern half of the South
American continent. Nevertheless,
Chile's necessity is great. The chief
source of it's former prosperity was
undermined over thirty years ago
when German chemists produced
synthetic nitrates which undercut
Chile's natural nitrate monopoly,
while the economic aftermath of
World War II has further leopard
ICED its situation. Under these cir
cumstances, the lure of big Argentine
credits for foodstuffs and public
works, especially in transportation,
proved irresistible.
The gain to Argentina is obvious.
President Peron has now acquired
most of the products he lacks to

to the right of recapture by us-a
right we are not likely to exercise.
Another principle governing nego-
tiations in this field is that the final
accountings should be designed to
improve international commerce
and economic relations.
Everything considered, this seems
to be sound way to liquidate the
lease-lend program. 1t makes
proper allowance for aid that can
not be figured on bookkeeping
basis, and at the same time it seeks
a reasonable return to us on items
for which the recipients can afford
to pay. Not the least of the virtues
of drawing up settlements of this
kind is that it removes the prospect
of a friction breeding war debts
problem and thus creates healthier
atmosphere for world trade.
