To Save the Hunory

The Presidents figures on our
bread grain shipments abroad make
gratifying reading. Earmarked for
the Worldfamine emergency, the
shipments totaled some 5,5OO,OOO
tons in the first half of this year.
The goal was fixed originally at
5000, 900, but the shortage will be
made up within the next few weeks,
so that the overall picture is a good
one, rejecting credit on the Nation
as whole.
AS the President warns, however,
the crisis is not yet over. Widespread
starvation will continue to threaten
vast numbers of human beings for
months to come. Up to now, by
working together with other coun-
tries in position to help, We have
done much to control the threat, but
the battle must 60 on. Wheats and
fats still constitute the critical
need; we have merely to keep on
conserving these, to reserve a small
percentage of them for the invisible
guests" at our tables. and we shall
be saving lives all over the world.
This rescue work cannot safely be
relaxed now. The individual Ameri-
can needs only to resort to the mild
est kind of voluntary self-denial to
carry 1t on. The British are ration
ing their bread by government de-
cree; the least we can do is to con-
tinue, Of our own free will, to eat
just trifle less than we would nor
mally do. What one person does in
this respect may not seem to amount
to much, but cumulatively, when all
OF us do 1t together, it spells the
difference between life and death
for the hungry.

According to the present Soviet
constitution, the incorporation of a
country into the Soviet Union does
not debar it from separate member
ship in the United Nations, because
theoretically the Union is fedora

which could legally exercise SOW
ereign functions. though practically
the political monopoly of the Com
munist party renders those rights

ready been acknowledged by the

ship the Ukrainian and Byelorus-
sian white Russian) S. S. RS. So,
in considering the admission of
Mongolia. the General Assembly will
have to face the practical issue of a

with the European satellites from
Poland to Albania. we see here the

Here are nine sure changes in the

tough battles for denomination by Sem

Military Guarantees
By George FieIdine Eliot

return in this article to the question
Of military guarantees, which seems to
me to be fundamental to the immediate
problem of atomic agreement. and to
the greater problem of the establish
ment of an atmosphere Of confidence
among the nations of the world. With
out such confidence there can be no
real agreement and no real and lasting
peace.
The Russians, in their proposals for
atomic control place military guaran-
tees first in order of importance-pri-
mordial is the word they use. Before
anything else can be done, before the
question of control system can even
be considered, the United States must
agree to give up the use or possession
of atomic weapons, and must actually
destroy all such weapons within three
months after the agreement to do so
is ratified.
Very we'll, we may say. We, too. wish
to abolish atomic weapons, but we
recognize the fact that at the moment
the possession by us of atomic weapons
is the principal military counter-b balance
to the vast Russian military power in
Europe and Asia.
=
In other words, we cannot talk of
military guarantees within the rigid
limitations of a single form Of military
power If we are asked for such guar
antees, we have a right to ask for
reciprocal guarantees. OF what kind?
Let us begin with the United States.
Our plans call for armed forces of about
1.750,000 officers and men as Of July l.,
1s47. This is approximately IA per cent
of the population of the United States
and its territories and possessions. 1t is
a much higher figure than We have
ever before maintained in time of peace.
If we are asked to give military
guarantees to Russia and the world by
giving up our most potent weapon, it
seems fair to ask that others maintain
no greater scale Of armed force than
the maximum which We have thus set

Bulgaria from the Turkish yoke Rus
sian armies set foot on Bulgarian soil.
But the enthusiasm soon dwindled.
The Russian liberators appeared in
the eyes of the freedom conscious
Bulgarians as oppressors. Thousands
were imprisoned on the flimsy excuse
Of having been collaborators. These
people hated the Germans but did
not want to surrender the freedom of
their country to Moscow.
The result of this dissatisfaction soon
became apparent. Men and women
took to the mountains as in the days
Of the Turkish domination and or
ganized themselves in bands and raid
ed isolated posts or warehouses which
were not adequately defended The
ranks of these rebels are now being
sWelled by peasants and white collar
workers who have chosen a precarious
free life in the mountains to Russian
domination, ruthlessly enforced by the
Moscow stooges in the government
The situation is not much different
in Romania. Romanian peasants and
members of the middle classes are
taking refuge in the Carpathian Noun
talns and are organizing themselves
into bands called "haiducs"
Marshal Tito, the Yugoslav dictator,
has his own share of trouble with the
stubborn inha bitants of Serbia and
Montenegro. He is making a grand
stand play for the incorporation of
Trieste and Venezia Giulia into Yugo-
slavia. But, according to available re-
ports, the rebellious Serbs and Monte
negrins care little about how far the
boundaries of the new federated state
extend, They want freedom and can
not get it in state dominated by Sc
cret police where any expression of op-
position to the regime is drastically
suppressed. The Yugoslav Army, which
has been organized by Tito and mem
bers OF the Red Army general staff,
may be willing to fight American. Brit
1sh or Italian troops, but its loyalty
Is doubtful when 1t comes to fighting
its own kin.
The adamant attitude of Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov in regard to
the withdrawal of Russian troops from
these satellite countries is explained
not only by MoscoWs desire to retain
complete control over the puppet gov
er11ments but also by the necessity of
having Russian troops to deal with
these rebellious movements of the Par
tsans in Poland, the Commitadjis in
Bulgaria, the Haiducs in Romania and
the Chetniks in Yugoslavia.

Hard Facts

FROM the s.. Louis Post-Dspatch
When Howard Mumford Jones OF

omitted the usual congratulations to
the class so members Instead hs

tracing what he believes to be a course
of disaster, in the form of civil wars
and revolutions, since 1889, reaching
the nadir of bestiality at Buchenwald
and the climax of slaughter at Hiro-
Shima"
To Mr.. Jones mind. it is almost in
credible that, while military hospitals
are still filled with human wreckage
and the bodies OF the men who died
in World War II are hardly cold in
their graves, irresponsible officials arc
happily planning a new world war
This, despite the fact that the creation i
of the atomic bomb, If used on a broad .
scale, might "extinguish all human
life"
The theme so brilliantly expounded
in James Harvey Robinson's book, The
Mind in the Making" even more true
now than it was when the book was+
written two decades or so ago was re-
expressed by Mr.. Jones in these words.
I'VE educate the finest engineers and
chemists and biologists in the world,
but our human engineering is so bad
that IL months after victory we do
not know what to do with it,
Such pessimism is depressing, and
Mr.. Jones may have embraced mood
too ardently, but unfortunately there
are catalogues of fresh news from all
over the world to bear out much of
what he says. What this world needs
are voices like the Jeremiahs and Cas-
sadras of old and hearkening to such
voices that the doom of our precarious
civilization may be avoided.

However, the decision was hitherto
held up by Soviet Russia's attitude,
Mr.. Molotov previously indicating
that he had designs of his own
which were interpreted as demand
for one or more of the islands as
Russian base or bases. His sudden
acquiescence to Mr. Byrnes' sugges-
ton that the matter be equitably
disposed of is understood to have
left the Secretary f1abbergasted.
What Molotov's sudden change of
policy in the matter may portend,
only time will show. At any rate,
the ending has been happy one for
Greece and for the principle of in

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The freshman class in the Senate in
the new Congress which comes into
being qext January will be large,
Voluntary retirements defeats for re-
nomination and defeats in the general
election in November will play their
parts in the coming turnover One
third Of the Senate membership of the
upper house is up for reelection and two
more Senators are serving by appoint
ment.
Less than half of these Senators have
run the gantlet of the primary elec-
tions or State party conventions. Three
have been defeated for denomination
Senator Willis of Indiana, Republican,
and Senators Radcliffe of Maryland and
Gossett of Idaho Democrats.
Five more Senators have taken them
selves out of the race They are Andrews
Of Florida and Gerry of Rhode Island,
Democrats and Hart of Connecticut,
Stanfill Of Kentucky and Austin of Ver-
mont, Republicans. Another, Senator
Mead Of New York, Democrat, has been
so strongly advanced for the guberna-
torial nomination that it looks as though
he would have to go through with it
even If he should wish in his heart to
run again for the Senate.
Democratic leaders in New York, in
cluding Ed Flynn of the Bronx, national
committeeman, agreed months ago to
get behind Senator Mead for the gub-
ernatorial nomination to run against
Gov. Dewey. At that time the situation
appeared favorable for a Democratic
victory-and Mr.. Mead fell in with the
plan. He sought the gubernatorial
nomination against Dewey in 1912 but
the then Democratic state chairman,
James A. Farley, defeated Mr.. Mead
who had the support Of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt-and nominated James
J. Bennett in dramatic State conven-
ton.
The Democratic nomination for Sena-
tor has been promised to former Gov.
Lehraan-who wants it. For that rea-
son, too. 1t would be difficult for Senator
Mead to get back into the senatorial
picture. The nominations for Governor
and Senator will be made the first week
in September.
Senator Austin of Vermont is retiring
from the Senate to become the United
States representative on the United
Nations Security Council This Repub-
lican Senator, devoted to the cause Of
international collaboration for peace
and a member of the Foreign Relations

for ourselves, that is, IA per cent of
their respective populations. The effect
of this on the Soviet forces would be
to reduce them to about 2,400 900 Off
GERS and men. The British are pro-
posing to maintain 100000 officers and
men as of December 13, 1916; the popu-
lation Of the United Kingdom and it's
territories and possessions Iexclusive of
India, where there are still heavy Brit
ish military obligations) is about
1O6 ,000, 900.
Then let us ask the Russians to sit
down with the British, the French and
ourselves and negotiate for reason
able limitation Of the occupation forces
to be maintained in Europe (and, of
course, in Korea).
In return, we could then take certain
definite measures toward eliminating
the danger which the Russians profess
to feel from our exclusive possession
Of the atomic bomb. We could agree in
principle to the total abolition of atomic
weapons. And right now we could
without impairing our security in any
way, do the following things: % Stop
manufacturing atomic weapons; 90
Declare the number of bombs which we
now have; 90 Give a solemn pledge
never to use them except when actually
threatened with attack by atomic weap-
ons. and after specific authorization
by Congress.
The virtue of the foregoing sugges-
tions lies in the effect they would have
of clearing the international atn1os-
phere of much of the fear and uncer-
tainty which now poisons it. Under
these principles no power would be in
position to begin war without giving
ample notice to every one else Of its
intentions We could then sit down
to the table and really begin to negoti-
ate system Of atomic controls and

haps-who knows?-against war ITSELF"

Ready for Able Doy'

Weather permitting, cable Day"
will dawn any time now between
tomorrow and the following Sunday
Translated from the code book of
"Operation Crossroads" that means
that momentarily-perhaps within
the next twenty-four hours-the
same preternatural power that was
unleashed over Hiroshima and Ma
gasaki will be unleashed over the
lagoon at Bikini against a great
guinea pig fleet. 1t will be the first
phase-a midair burst" to be fol-
lowed some weeks later by shall
low subsurface burst the first
atom-versus-N Navy test in history.
The experiment, involving the use
of by far the deadliest, most revolu-
tionary and most destructive explo-
sive force ever harnessed by man,
will be hazardous one, but the
fullest possible precautions have
been taken in preparing for it. To
begin with, scientific calculations
have been carried out to make sure
that the "bursts" (the curiously mild
official word for the gigantic explo-
Sions) will not result in a catas-
trophe. The inhabitants of Bikini
and of other places In the danger
zone have been evacuated. The
$4,000 men participating in the test
as part of Joint Army Navy Task
Force One have been carefully
drilled and will be stationed at safe
distances when the zero hour comes.
The crews chosen to drop the bomb
and take related measures have
been painstakingly trained and have
just conducted a dress rehearsal
complete in every detail except the
employment of the awesome atomic
substance itself. AS for mechanical
preparedness, apparently nothing
has been overlooked-cameras, elec-
tronic devices. radio equipment,
measuring instruments, pilotless
planes destined to fly through the
heart OF the radioactive cloud are
all in working order.
Everything, in a word, is in readi-
ness for able Day" To the extent
that it is humanity possible to do so,
all the foreseeable aspects of the test
have been provided for. AS the hour
approaches for the historic event,
the world at large-not to mention
the near observers-may anticipate
1t with growing edginess, but this is
a natural and understandable thing.
The element of personal danger
promises to be negligible. it is true;
yet never before in peacetime has
there been anything quite so star
tling, dramatic and significant as
what will soon happen at Bikini If
the wind and sun are willing. 1t is
so big, so full Of strange possibilities.
that the mere act of waiting for it
is bound to occasion some nervous
ness, not least among those who find
1t upsetting to think that traditional
sea power. along with many other
things, may suddenly be shown to
be the relic of an age as dead as
prewar Hiroshima.
