Conflicting Chinese Policies

Continued American intervention in Chinese affairs and the prolonged presence troops China has moved Yat-sen break two years political silence and address appeal to the American people, It is brave heartfelt message It is also confusing and it's underlying motives defy accurate Identification.
 Mme Sun widow of the Chinese republics founder, is also sisternaw of Generasimo Chiang kaishek She is repuedy of strong character and liberal convic tons disagrees strongly with Chang and his methods impossible say how much of this objection IS based idealsm, and how much the Soong family private quarres
 Obviously Nme. Sun has deep and sympathetic under standing of China That does not however that she understands America And when she says that Chinese and American reactonares promote Chnas civil strife in the hope starting between the United States and Rus sia, there is good reason for saying 'Poppycock!
 Mme Sun surely is confusing possible result with inen tion Americas foreign policy not confused stupid boodthirsy as to plan such catastrophe The men who shape that policy weak mad to permit such plan be formulated and carried out under their 
 Yet Chinese policy of enough apparent stupidity and confusion make Nme Suns assumption forgivabe Officially efforts directed toward united and repre- sentative Chinese government General Marshall has worked heroicay for many dscouragng months to bring these efforts to successful conclusion.
 At the time, it is also official policy arm train and support the Nationalist army While we have urged compromise have also strengthened Chiangs forces point where the Generassimo feel himself strong enough successful showdown Only is Washington reported to be considering arms bargo in the hope of avertng fuscae civil in China
 Our armed aid to Chang explained necessary in helping depor the defeated Japanese When that eompished 1t excused the wartime assumption that Chiangs government representative and democratic But the weight of evidence presented by American writers of all political compeXons who have been China is that the Chang government has many of the objectionable fea lures of dictatorship such repression of personal liberties liquidation of opposition, and complete Identification of the government with the ruling party.
 Likewise the of American writers is that the Chinese Communists long drfed from the krem lin and that their program emphasizes free speech cleo tions lower land rens ownership of land and local self-government.
 In all this confusion it does clear that present conflicting policy both China and into serious trouble It squander the independence of China which helped buy such great And it can further en- barrass relations with Russia, whom rghteousy prove for interference and undue influence in other peoples affairs.

Coal Mine Scuttlebutt

WASHINGTON, July 2s-tNEA1- The Navy is having fine time for itself running the coal mines ahoy. Admiral Ben Moreen, the Coal Mines Admins trator, has over 200 naval officers working for him while the Government is theoretically operating the seized soft-coal industry
 These officers are nearly all eligible for discharge points But they're sticking to the ship-that is the mnes-till they bring er back safe to port that is, turn em back to private ownership.
 There may be tendency to call a portal hatch, or to refer to pit the hold. But by and large, the seagoing topsided mine supervisory ployes can now tell pick from anchor and the coal is coming out of the bunkers-that is, the mines for full speed ahead-that is, efficient production
 Sometime this Fall. Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone of the Nays Medical Corps hopes 10 have ready for Admiral Moreell his report on the coal mines hos ptal, medical, sanitation, and housing conditions Dr. Boone has been in business inspecting these mines since the end of May, when John L. Lewis signed a new contract with Secretary of the Interior J. A Krug.
 Article Five of that agreement provided for the health survey. It to be preliminary to estab- lishment of the Welfare and Retirement Fund raised by 5-cents-a-ton royalty tax the operators ana to the Medca and Hospital Fund raised by deductions from the miners wages.
 When Dr. Boone makes his report, however, it Will not be specific set of recommendations that hospital should be built here new sewer system there, or an entire new housing project wonder Instead the report will merely recommend set of minimum standards for health, sanitation and hous- ing ln all mine communities
 Currently, Dr. Boone and his staff are making swing through Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama districts, hitting only the hign and low spots This trip will complete visits by Dr. Boones group to each of the countrys coal-nnining regions In each region team of three naval officers has been set up-a Medical Corps officer in charge of each work Ing With an engineer and a recreation and welfare officer.
 It being impossible for any one group of men

to visit all the coal mines the country these five regional will do of the actual inspecting Their data will be submitted to Washington and the final report will be prepared here.
 Not even the regional teams will try to visit all the 5000 to 5000 mines in the country. Only 26O0 Of the mines now under Government operation. If the regional teams inspect 10 percent of this num- Der. they will be doing well. The Navy is allowing local mine operators and union officials 10 select the mines to be inspected.
 So far, the inspections have shown that there IS no standard of health housing in any coal mine district On side of the ridge there may be a mine operating under nearly perfect conditions. Across the valley may be mine with which every thing Is wrong.
 The difference may be due largely to local com munity leadership. squalor marks the mine com- munlty where both company and union leaders lazy.
 The automobile and good roads have worked a revolution coal mine conditions, Dr. Boone has found Formerly all miners had to live on sag heaps in order to be near their mines. Now they can, and do live 30 and 40 miles from the coal mine portal in clean and airy surroundings, the driving to work.
 The variation in state mining laws is another factor that makes preparation of any minimum standard code difficult Illinois requires wash-houses to be built at the mines Other states have no such law, though operators have installed them vol untarlly. At some mines the wash-house facilities are free. At others miners pay for their use
 It is these extremes which will make it imposs- ble to establish uniform health and sanitation and housing conditions throughout the coal industry. Dr. Boone isn't going to try
 Any idea that there will oe a blonde WAVE. manicurist and a red-headed Red Cross nurse for every 10 miners, model housing for all and insur- ance benefits coming out of slot machines every time a miner bumps his shin Is away out of line Such Utopia will be provided. if at all, only by John L. Lewis himself.

Merry 0-Round

FEN ROUTE TO PARIS, July 29-Today in the Palace of Luxemburg begins the conference on which so many mothers set their hearts for which so many mothers gave their lves-the conference to win the peace.
 Some 13 900 900 men in the American armed forces alone fought four long years-with the hope that it might be the last time human beings would have to go through the terrible ordeal of war.
 Today in Paris comes the climax of their dreams, and already dislusonment has begun to set in. AL ready the dreams tinged with nightmare-the spectre of another war.
 Here are some of the distressing facts this ference has to face in trying to chart the peace of the world:
 1. Historians criticised Woodrow Wilson because he slow in negotiating peace. But he got started two months after the armstice and finished six months later total of eight months after the war. In contrast it is almost year after the arm istice with Japan and fifteen months after the istice with Germany yet the final peace conference is only getting started.
 2. The longer peace is delayed the more the Allies fall out the more the other nations forget their gratitude. So the longer the delay the harder it is to negotiate permanent peace.
 g. Russia has deliberately endeavored to postpone the peace This conference could have been held long ago if the Soviet had not said No.
 Moscows delay tactics by means acci- dental They carefully planned, and with three motives behind them:
 A. The longer peace was delayed the more time Russia got to nail down its hold the Balkan satel lites-Hungary Austria. Anti Russian factions had to be stamped out; pro-Russian factions trained to carry This could not be done overnight.
 B The more uncertaintity and unrest occurred in the non-Soviet-occupied countries-France, Bel gium the Netherlands-the greater the likely growth of Communism. Unrest breeds Communism, and the spread of Communism is one great aim of Moscow.
 C. Finally, Moscow did not want the Red Armies converging back to Russia. There wasn't food to feed them, and their quick return risked economic, political turnovers So they left live off foreign countries; and long no peace treaty signed, armies of occupation justified
 Thus, since V-J Day Russia has been the greatest obstacle to early peace.
 In this peace conference however. not everything is black white. There is gray shading in between.
 And in real fact American diplomacy during the early stages of this greatest of all diplomatic deavors just guilty of saootagng the peace as the Russians-rperhaps more say so because we pride ourselves on being advanced more alert, idealistc.
 Yet actually, our diplomats were just woefuly

of the three leading candidates, seems to have the edge
 Despite the manifest falling off of interest in politics, this is being hoty contested The can- dldates are chasing each other up and down the state
 There is demogogng here, too but not on the low order recently seen in Georgia and Mississippi. It is being indulged in by the ether Congressman seeking Senator Bankheads seat, Rep Frank Boykin, of Mobile He is exploiting the British loan and ship ment of food to Europe in manner familiar this year to the Mid-West. Also he is praising the Townsend Old-Age Pension Plan.
 He obviously is seeking to kindle coverty the preJudlces aroused to such fever in Mississippi and Georgia by proclaimng that he for both Sen ator Bllbo and Gene Talmadge. This looks like the strategy o desperation and bosters the forecast that he is likely to third The other candidates have refused to be drawn down to this level.
 The other of the three leading candidates is James A. Simpson, Birmingham corporation lawyer, Well-knoWn in the state from long service in the Alabama Senate. He is labeled conservative on his record but in this campaign taken stand some issues, including federal aid to education, to put him in a slightly more advanced position than when he ran unsuccessfuly against Senator Lister Hill two years ago.
 Jim Simpson is figured by the experts to run second to Rep Sparkman and perhaps close enough to cause run-off between the two.
 Rep Sparkman is conducting deal type of campaign. He has the support Of both C.IO. and AFL. well of the effective political organza- on of Senator Hill who though not participating in the campaign, has announced he will vote for MT. Sparkman.
 Big Jm' Folsom likewise privately is telling his friends that he is voting for John Sparkman.
 There will be general voting by Negroes in Tuesdays primary, as in Georgia last week Some few will vote but many who sought the franchise have been disqualified on one preteXt or another. This issue so influential in Georgia has not been he called on the people to support the Supreme Court decision banning the white primary"

Alabama Primary

BIRMINGHAM, ALA-In the current political tur. mol in the South this state offers conlpensatng relief.
 It is, temporarily at least, a sort of oasis from the noisome WhirlV-nd that blew up in Georgia and Mississippi where the people got another dose of Gene Talmadge in one and Senator Bilbo in the other
 Alabama offers somewhat of refuge from the hate and bitterness and prejudice stirred up in those states that turned them backward again in an omin- ouS reaction. Also Alabama seems to yield some hope to keep progressiVsm fickering in sector in what IS, to put it mildly off-year for progreSsivsm ir the South.
 A progressive trend is observed here in a state wide contest already decided-for governor-and in the predicted outcome of the special election next Tuesday to fill the U S. Senate of the late John H. Bankhead
 Alabama has had her fill of elections this year which probably accounts for noticeable et-down n interest in the Senatorial contest from the high pitch of the Governors previously It took two elections to pick a Governor, and run-off may be necessary to select Senator, which would make four elections within few weeks.
 
 The run-off for Governor resulted in victory for new sort of political figure, 38-year-old Big Jim" Folsom, six feet, eight inches tall and 245 pounds in weight
 His election might aptly be described as peo- pes victory. He was swept into office by the votes of farmers, labor and many not identified with either of these groups who apparently were weary of the oldfashoned politician of the machine type and were ready for different and fresh figure such as Big Jm He ran on program of reform which includes state convention revise the constitution; abolition of the poll tax; reapportionment of the state not done since 1900 and sorey needed increased old-age assistance and tax reforms.
 It is indicated that the people will turn again toward pro9ressivism in picking new Senator Rep. John Sparkman of Huntsville, Democratic whip of the House, who has the most progressive record

unprepared for peace the Army and Navy for war at Pearl Harbol. When it should have been ready for the most important peace offensive in the history of the world, the State Department caught completely mapping.
 Congress has spent several months of intensive study to ascertain who responsible for Pearl Har bor; yet has lifted finger to probe the equally important disaster of unpreparedness for peace.
 If Senators probed the files of the State Depart ment however or their files, significant facts would to light Senator Wiley of Wiscon- sin, for instance, has in his files letter from then Secretary of State Hull dated Oct 21 1942 declining to give his views world cooperation The real fact was that Hull had not even begun to think about the vital task of winning the main objective of the war-world peace-and he could not answer Wieys letter.
 State Department files will also reveal interest ing insight into the most important factor before the present Paris conference.-the presence of little tons.
 Their attendance is of the most important victories achieved by Jimmie Byrnes. He had to all his persuasive charm plus threats to pin down Russias Mootoff on full-fledged peace conference with the little nations present.
 Yet back in 1943, State Department files will show that Roosevelt and Churchill had OKd a con- prehensive plan for world peace worked out by the then Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles calling for the participation of smaller nations. They have most to lose by war most to win by peace argued Welles, and usually to be found backing the United States
 FD.R. and Churchill backed Welles up but later, when Cordel Hull took his famous trip to Moscow, the Welles plan drastcally amended. The little nations dropped. Perhaps this because of Hulls antipathy for anything authored by Sumner Weles. Perhaps it was Russian aversior-even then to the smaller nations.
 But at that time, we had the diplomatic whip hand over Russia never have had since. Russia needed more than needed her We in a position to bargain MT. Hull, however, surrendered this important point
 Later the White House issued public statement aimed at bringing the smaller nations back into the picture. But it too late Not until today, as all the allies sit down at the conference table have been able to retrieve the ground lost by that vital mistake.
 Knowing he could not bar the smaller nations indefinitely, Molotoff has demanded that all essen al problems be ironed out by the Big 4" in advance The big question at Paris, therefore is whether the small nations will now merely sign the dotted line, or whether fighters like Australian Foreign Minister Evatt will stand up and throw parts of the proposed treaty back in Molotoffs teeth. The betting is that lot Of words will be thrown, but no teeth knocked out.

So, in the name of freedom we must tolerate them. But let us re- member, Protestant and Jew and Catholic, that whoever denies the spirit, and the things of the spirit, is taking up the whip and the torch against us. There are other ways of destroying the Talmud than burning it. There are other ways of betraying us than selling our secrets to Russia. There are other ways of putting us in bondage than letting the Klan run loose.
 The history of Western culture
 has many pages that make us
 blush. Persecution, blood ba ths,
 butchery in the name of religion,
 sham in the name of piety-but
 we can still blush. And we blush
 because we know these crimes are
 crimes against the spirit-against
 the law of God. We are all sin
 ners-and there is some hope for
 our salvation as long as we are
 aware of sin. It is only when we
 say there is no sin, and anything
 goes, that redemption is denied us.
 If the high moral code that comes to us from the Old Testament is as dead as the financial customs that were in force among the ancient Jews; if the gospel of love brought to us by Christ is worthy of no more consideration than the laws of Nero; if the code of morality worked out by Christian society is no more valid than the geography of the Middle Ages, then our civilization has been wiped out. It is destroyed, not by an atomic bomb, but by the new discovery that we are animals, and no more. For, if there is now law, there is no reasoning faculty in man. And by this token, the wars, and the slaughter, and the persecution and the oppression are validated.

Two Trials

A few hours after Gen. Draa Mkhailovch died before firing squad Belgrade Lieut. Nicoai Redin of the Soviet Navy found himself freed of charge of espionage by jury Tn Seattle. Perhaps it stretching point to the two recent events Yet the contrast between the trials of the two men offers an interesting comparison.
 The Mikhalovitch trial notable for it's omissions for it's disclosures The disclosures were confusing. There were admissions of Chetnk-Parsan clashes but doubt to who fired the first shot, There admissions ot meetings with Naz but doubt to whether these for the purpose of arranging collaboration truce.
 Omitted, however, any mention of the first two years of General Mkhailovchs international fame. Dur ing that time between the Nazi invasion and Communist Marshal os beated emergence the Chetnk leader guerras haassed the Nazs upset their timetable for the Russian mVasion and kept Naz divisions engaged which Hitler might have used in his losing for Moscow against the approach of Russias freezing winter.
 Nothing heard from Allied flyers and others who had been rescued by the Cheniks and had them ton against the Nazs These anxious testify refused the opportunity. Allied personnel and policy ceVed some dlsparagmg comment at the trial But Amer- cans and Bons were not permitted to speak defense the General or their actions.
 In short, the accused received political trial of which the outcome in doubt Marshal Tito had said in effect that Mkhalovtch would be given fair trial and then shot, That was the price for backing the wrong political horse As for Lieutenant Ren he has been found innocent and there doubt quarrel with verdict But what contrast between the trials Belgrade and in Seattle!
 Thus we have seen in matter of days triumph of politics and triumph of justice We may regret and resent General Mkhallovltch fate. But can be happy and hopeful In the story of American justice which young Lieu tenant Redin will take back home to Russia
