When the Socialist party won the

The Political Mill
BY Gould Lincoln

The General Assembly of the United
Nations was hailed, when the UNO
Charter was completed in San Fran
cisco, as the town meeting of the
world" at which questions of all kinds
would be aired. Nothing was said along
that line about the Security Council
which was to be the powerful execu-
tive agency of the new organization.
In London, however, almost from
the drop of the hat, the Council. meet
ing in open session, has taken the
spotlight and provided debates of dra-
matte intensity. Indeed, the frank Ian
guage of Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin
OF Britain, Deputy Foreign Commissar
Vishinsky of Soviet Russia, and other
members of the Council made the dip
lomatic world gasp.
1t Is a tribute to the new organiza-
ton for peace that it did not burst
its seams almost Immediately after it
was launched, and a complete refuta-
ton of those who have said that the
nations, or some of them, did not

Although it had been the hope of
many that the first sessions of the

matters and political issues could be

did not work that way.

The Iranians were the first to file

indicated In the Assembly they would

that the Russians were seriously in

their country. The Russians and the
Ukrainians were quick to hit back
for they seemed to believe that the
British had abetted the Iranians-
with complaints against the retention
OF British troops in Greece and In

From this point on it was clear that
the smoldering hostility and suspicion
existing between the British and the

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The State Departments release Of the
text Of the secret agreement signed at
Yalta by President Roosevelt, Premier
Stain and Prime Minister Churchill
contains nothing that is not already
known to the public.
But the acknowledgements story of the
agreement is edifying. The participants
to the Yalta Conference recognized I'M
hesitatingly the justice of the Soviet de-
mands for territories lost to the Russo
japanese war of 1904. Those few men,
bers Of the American delegation who
knew of Russia's demands were astound-
ed at Stains insistence that the Kurile
Archipelago should be thrown into the
bargain, in order to obtain Russia's
promise to 60 to war with Japan.
This insistence showed the American
and British delegates that the u S. S. r.
was moved by practical rather than
theological motives in her crusade
against the Axis. Stain indicated that
his main concern was Germany. If we
wanted Russia's cooperation in the Far
East we had to pay an extra price.
This frame Of mind was further evil
denced by speech of one of the most
important political men in the Soviet
Union, Comrade Malenkov, broadcast
from Moscow last Thursday. Malenkov
Is one of the four secretaries of the
Communist Party General Committee.
The other three are Stain, Gen. Zh-
danov and Commissar Andrew.
In his electoral" speech, Malenkov
praised the victories of the Red armies
and urged Russia to remain strong be-
cause "weaklings are not respected, they
are beaten" Then referring to the great
Russian global victories, he said, 1--WE do
not like to pull chestnuts out of the fire
for others, but if we have got chestnuts,
we are going to keep them"
1t is evident that it was this Chestnut
theory and not the theological desire to
destroy japanese fascism that prompted
Stain to strike a-hard bargain as the
price for the Red armies contribution
in the fight against Japan.
President Roosevelt's military advisers
who had been discussing possible Rus
sian demands in the Pacific before the
Yalta Conference were opposed to the
idea that the Kuriles, which are eco

anxious to leave; but fear a re-
newal of native uprisings against
the French without their restrain
ing influence. On the other hand,
they do not want to press France
too hard, because they want good
relations with France as a make
weight against the power of Soviet
Russian and the spread of COM
munism in France itself.
Although Moscow is not directly
involved, it is watching the situa-
ton carefully, both because of it's
general interest in the Middle East
and its solicitude over the possible
precedent which a Council decision
on the Syria-Palestine affair might
establish. The action of its repre-
sentative on the Council will thus
be indicative of the general line
which Moscow is following in the
entire region.
