Essential Leadership

In emphasizing that the United
States is looking forward to a per-
manent world peace and that it be-
lieves such a peace can and will be
achieved, President Truman's in
formal remarks. to the Cadet Corps
at West Point may be regarded as
having the effect OF adding his voice
to that of Premier Stain and For
eign Minister Bevin in belittling the
recent excess Of talk in this country
and abroad about the imminence of
another war.
The remarks may be regarded,
too, as an American reatfirmation to
the ever suspicious Russians that
we feel anything but enthusiastically
inclined at the moment. In the
Presidents judgment, although we
are not likely to forget their i'm
mense Importance in this dangerous
transitional period, we probably are
nearing the time-as after all our
past warS-when the Army and
Navy especially from the standpoint
OF expenditures. will be not nearly
so popular as they have been in
recent years and when lot of ILL
informed people (the ones who seem
congenitally hostile to the so-called
brass hats') will become very vocal
again with unflattering campaigns
against the "entrenched military
class"
II history repeats itself, as it
usually does, this antimilitaristic
mood will certainly spread among
us after the peace is reasonably well
established, and in predicting as
much, the President has in effect
cited to the Russians another reason
why they battle the American public
when their propaganda suggests
that the United States is war-minded
and intent upon imperialistic ad-
ventures. Thus, assuming that Mos.
cow has come to understand this
and Premier Stalin's recent state
ment pooh pooling war indicates
that it may have-we ought to begin
hearing less and less Soviet talk
about our aggressive" intentions,
and to that extent the international
atmosphere may become a bit more
friendly.
In speaking as he did TO the
Cadets, however, President Truman
made clear that the United States.
irrespective of whatever postwar
mood it may develop. will need to
educate and encourage the best pos
sible military leadership and that
this leadership, which can enrich
our civilian economy as we'll as the
Army and Navy, will continue to be
national asset of such great value
that America will be robbing itself
II 1t fails to foster it fully. The
constant maintenance Of a topnotch
officer corps is not a war measure:
on the contrary, as the President
has suggested, it is an indispensable
part OF the strength we must per-
petuate not merely for our own Sc
curity but for the permanent world
peace which we are confidently seek
ing to build now in concert with the
United Nations.

Science and Cooperation

speaking at Princeton University
10 an international gathering of
nuclear physicists, DR.. Harlow Shap-
ley, the distinguished Harvard as
tronomer, has given new emphasis to
an old idea. The idea is simply that
science, being of itself universal and
operating in fields that know no
national barriers, can be a prime
mover In bringing more unity to
mankind. To this end DR.. Shapley
would establish great world-owned
and world-operated laboratories and
institutes in which scientists from
every land would work together to
vrest new secrets from nature by
undertaking joint studies of diseases,
the aging process, nutrition, the
atom, the outer reaches of space and
other concrete and abstract prob
lens OF vast practical and theoretical
Importance.
As DR.. Shapley sees it, the creation
OF such Institutes, besides being
highly valuable in the sense of max
Ing 1t possible to carry cut projects
that might otherwise be too costly
or difficult for any one nation to
undertake alone, would have the
special virtue of encouraging the
habit OF international cooperation
in a way that could ultimately
spread, like beneficent contagion,
from the scientific plane to the polit-
ical, social and economic planes. This
can be readily imagined Indeed, we
nave already had limited demon
stration of the idea in the Joint
development of atomic energy-a
three-party endeavor that has un-
doubtedly had at least some effect On
Anglo-American-Canadian relations
outside the field of science. More
over, under the plan proposed by the
United States to the United Nations
historic effort is now being made
to broaden that endeavor to include
the world as a whole, so that it will
work as one to harness the good
things of the atom through the
mechanism Of an international au-
thorlty, which would in fact be q
great laboratory and institute of the
kind envisioned by DR.. Shapley.
1t does not seem too much to as
sumo that if our proposed atomic
authority is established. with scien-
lists from all parts of the world
working together in it, important
new discoveries will be made and
these discoveries will slowly but
surely have visibly beneficial uses in
every land. The laboratory Cooper
alton, in other words, will paw uni
versal dividends, and that in turn
will tend to promote economic, DO
htlcal and social cooperation. In
short, II the different nations will
but begin with the atom-and at the
moment Russia alone seems reluc-
tant-Dr. Shapley's idea will be far
advanced and mankind will have
reason to hope for an unprecedented
burgeoning of united international
undertakings rich in the promise of
peace finer than any known before.

COP Hopes Soar
By Jay g. Hayden

The wallace affair, coupled with the
growing meat shortage, has enormously
boosted Republican hopes of carrying
both the House and Senate in next
months elections.
The devastating feature OF these de-
velopments from the administration
standpoint is that they hit hardest in
large cities which have provided the
bulk OF Democratic majorities every
where outside the solid South.
Even before the Wallace upheaval,
there was plenty Of evidence that the
Russian Communist issue was causing
violent dissension among racial. relig-
ious and labor groups heretofore over
whelmingly Democratic. Now the head
quarters of both political parties hear
that the Wallace affair has greatly in
tensified this condition, while the meat
shortage has added still more tntra-
Democratic controversy and discomfort.
Specifically, Republicans have at least
doubled the number Of city districts in
which they believe they have at least an
even chance Of victory.
Sixteen predominantly city districts,
which the Republicans all along have
had great hopes of carrying because
they lost them in 1914 by less than q S
per cent margin, consist of two in Chi
cago and one each in New York, Phila .
delphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Kan
sas City, Indianapolis. Rochester, New
Haven, Wheeling, Akron and Hamilton.
To these now have been added-as
prime Republican prospects-four in
New York City, three in Philadelphia.
two in Los Angeles and one each in De-
troit, Oakland, San Diego, Santa Bar
bara, Delaware Qargely urban), Chicago,
st. Louis, Milwaukee, Seattle, Wheeling
and Canton.
Getting down to cases, there is abund-
ant indication that the Russian Commu-
mist controversy, actively exemplif1ed in
a Snnashup of the previously impregna-
BILE Democratic-American labor combi-
nation, has placed at least four presently
Democratic and one American laborite
seats in New York City in grave danger.
Whereas the Democratic, American
Labor and Liberal Parties all supported
the incumbents in 1910, these groups
now are at each others throats. The
New York City congressman most seri-
ously threatened with defeat by this
condition are Peter A. Quinn, William b.
Barry, John J. Rooney and Donald l..
OToole-all Democrats, and Vito Mar
cantonio, American Labor Party.
While there is no formal party divi-
sion of the New Deal front IN California,
infighting among the former Roosevelt
supporters in the cities of that State Is
just as violent as in New York.
Candidates in present Democratic dis
tricts in California said to be definitely
on the anxious seat include Frank r..
Havenner, George E. Outland. Jerry
Voorhis, Clyde Doyle, Ed v. Izac, Ned
Healy and Helen Gahagan Douglas
all incumbents. and two new nominees,
Harold Hardy and Patrick w. Nc
Donough.

Football Versus BusebuII

Footballs efforts to take over the
Nations sports arena have encoun-
tered some unexpected opposition
from that other popular national
pastime, professional baseball. With
the National League pennant race
tied in knots the fans in Brooklyn
and st. Louis also are fit to be tied
and all sports lovers with craving
for photo-finishes are getting set
for the first pennant playoff in TO
years of organized baseball.
There are those who believe that
the World Series itself will be
rather anticlimactic compared to the
two-out-of-three series between the
Cardinals and the Dodgers, start
ing tomorrow. Most American
League fans regard the Boston Red
Sox as cinch to win the world
championship Of baseball, irrespec-
tive of the outcome of the breath
taking National League race. But
fans who prefer their contests close
ana exclClng are looking forward
eagerly to the bitter final battle
between the Buns" and the Gas
House Gang.
AS though infected by the tying
fever the Washington Redskins gave
their faithful following an all-even
opener against the Pittsburgh
Steelers yesterday, but it was evident
from the roar OF the crowd when
the National League results were
announced that baseball was not
completely out Of its thoughts. Nor
can football hope to monopolize the
stage until the National League
champion is determined and until
that champion knows it's fate at
the hands of Williams, Pesky, Doerr
and company.

This Changing World
By Constantine Browu

There are three immediate storm
centers which are interconnected and
are causing deep concern to the highest
American of1cials: Turkey, Greece and
Trieste.
In August the United States Govern
ment informed the U. S. S. r. that it was
deeply interested in solution of the
question Of the Dardanelles, which this
Government considers an international
matter. The Russian point of view had
been all along that 1t was question
to be discussed between Turkey and
the Black Sea powers, that is to say
Russia and her Bulgarian and Ro-
msnian satellites.
The note sent by the State Depart
ment after consultation with President
Truman, the Secretaries of War and
Navy and the chiefs of stan Of the
armed forces was couched in most
diplomatic terms, but did not conceal
The fact that this country. although
not a signatory of the Lausanne con-
vention regulating the straits, intended
to participate with the other signatories
in any conference dealing with that
problem The Turks had taken the
same attitude.
X y
The Moscow government did not
answer the State Department note. But
last Saturday 1t rejected it indirectly
when 1t requested the Ankara govern
ment to start bilateral conversations
with Russia and the Black Sea countries.
The Turkish government has already
signified to the Kremlin that it was not
willing to discuss even preliminaries
without the attendance Of the powers
which signed the Montreux convention.
These were Great Britain, France,
Russia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece,
Romania, Japan and Italy.
Japan, Of course, will have no claim
to an invitation. But the Italian gov
ernment may ask to be represented on
the grounds that since Bulgaria and
Romania -- former enemy countries
are being pushed into the foreground
by the u. 8. S. r. because Of Russia S
interests in the straits, there is no
reason that Italy, which is also inter-
ested in that waterway, should be
refused the privilege.
Neither the Turkish nor the Western
governments will object to Italy's par
ticipation. Russia, however, insists that
no other states but those bordering the
Black Sea have any say in the settle
ment Of the Dardanelles matter.
This country has taken the position
that all questions pertaining to natural
International waterways, particularly

Everybody Free to PIun

From the Brantford (Ontario) Expositor
Some Russian sources profess to be
greatly disturbed because, as they claim,

with planning the defenses of this
country. Well even if this were the
case, what's wrong with planning de-
lenses? The Russians have done good
deal of 1t and their "plans" have in

territory and the swallowing of big sec
tions of populace,

Communism
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal

There is no such thing rs Russian
communism, British communism, Chi
nese communism or American commu-

the philosophy Of a man who was
himself German national. 1t Is world
communism. 1t enveloped the Russians
and has now engulfed most Of Europe
and . tremendous area in Asia. If we
don't wake up 1t will engulf us. Let's
have the awakening light which the
Department Of Justice can and should
provide.

Angela Morsan Remembered

Angela Morgan Remembered
To tn. Editor of The Star:
Who knows when the phrase united
nations" was first used and who origi-
mated it? Until recently had supposed
it to be original with President Roose-
welt, but have found 1t in q poem by
Angela Morgan, written before 1880, en-
titled Answer, World!", in which an
army is called for:
Swift to the worlds salvation,
Splendid, equipped and strong,
Not nation armed against nation.
But men srrayed against wrong"
And at the close of the poem comes
the inspired reply:
Justice shall be your weapon and
Truth the bomb you hml,
Flag of united nations the banner
you unfurl."
1t would seem rs II the poet must
have beheld vision of the future-of
a time when all nations would be work
ing together to rid the world of the
evils which have led to poverty, crime
and war. Can it be that, notwithstand-
ing the tumult and confusion and vio-
lence that are rife throughout the world
today, that time is at hand and that
the foundation is slowly being laid on
which shall be built the structure over
which shall be unfurled the flag of
united nations?

Commendation for Mr.. Names
To the Editor OF The star:
1t was my pleasure to follow quite
closely the work of your correspondent,
Caspar Names, at the recent General
Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church at Philadelphia. He was inde-
fatigable through long hours in order
to give the readers of The Star ac-
curate and comprehensive stories OF
the proceedings. was much impressed
with his courtesy and keenness in per-
ceiving the news values In all Of his
many contacts with bishops, clergy
and laymen. I felt indebted for his
thoughtfulness in providing the mem
bers Of the Washington deputation with
copies OF The Star each day, and it was
pleasure to see the place given his
stories which I had read before they
had been sent from Philadelphia.
AS secretary of our Washington Dio-
cesan Convention and = deputy to the
General Convention, felt qualified to
judge the merit of Mr.. Names work,
and you are to be congratulated on
having such an able representative

Penmanship Editorial Praised

TO the Editor OF The Star:
I wish to comment on the excellent
article OH penmanship. which appears
to be q lost art.
Having made a specially of penman-
ship and taught it for many years, it
brought back memories of two great
leaders in penmanship and former in
structors of mine who have passed
away: Miss Mary L. Champion Of Iowa
and Austin N. Palmer, founder and
author of the Palmer method.
MRS. CLARA I. BOONE.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial on penmanship deserves
comment. Without doubt nearly all
older children and adults are potentially
capable OF signing their names and
writing social letters legibly by hand,
and we should all try to make our
handwriting ineligible, but just how
much incentive is there to practice fine
writing in the era Of the typewriter?
Calligraphy has lost its pragmatic
"raison detre" in this mechanical era,
rarely being used for anything but
school and Sunday school diplomas, and
ike flne needlework and horsemanship
will be a hobby for only very few
persons.
However it would be an excellent
thing to acquaint our children, as part
OF their heritage, with illustrations of
beautiful writing, not only from the
hands OF our American forefathers, but
also from medieval and Oriental manu-
scripts, Egyptian hieroglyphics, etc.
Possibly The Star could run a series
OF photographs OF noteworthy examples
In the Sunday rotogravure section,
Many children could paste them into
their school notebooks and also view
some Of the originals in Washington
collections.
MRS. ROYAL c. BRYANT.
Change of Policy Suggested
To the Editor OF The Star
l have applied for a position at the
Philippine Embassy, and the official I
talked to informed me that it is the
policy of Ambassador Elizalde not to
employ husbands and wives in his Office.
1t seems TO me that Mr.. Elizalde
does not practice what he breaches.
because his ONCE has husbands and
wives as members of its staff who are
drawing big sums Of money with less
work. This writer learns also that rela-
tives Of top ofi1cials are being employed
by the Embassy.
Nepotlsm should not be injected into
government Office. II this is the
policy Of Ambassador Elizalde, 1t is
about time to change it.
