The casual reader Of news reports
from the Paris Peace Conference could
hardly be blamed II he wondered
whether Greece fought for the Nazis
during the war and whether 1t was true
that she fought on the side Of the
United Nations against the tyranny Of
Hitler and his satellites.
Unless this same reader had followed
the progress Of the war fairly we'll he
might also be forgiven for regarding
Bulgaria as one of the Allies, rather
than as one Of the defeated Axis nations
which was summoned to Paris to hear
the penalty for its fight at Hitler's side.
These are but few Of the strange
effects which are coming from peace
conference which has turned from its
primary purpose of arriving at peace
settlements to consider numerous ex-
traneous matters.
The Paris conference was summoned
for the specific purpose OF assisting In
the drafting Of peace treaties for Fin
land, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and
Italy. Bulgaria, as may be seen, Is there
In the role of defeated nation. Greece
Is attending In the role of one Of the
victorious United Nations Nothing
should be permitted to obscure these
facts.
The Slavic bloc. however, has per-
verted the purpose OF the peace
conference by presenting and actively
agitating for the dismemberment Of
Greece in cessions OF Macedonia to
Yugoslavia and Western Thrace to
Bulgaria.
There Is nothing new about either
OF these claims. Serbian efforts to
wrest Macedonia from Greece are his
toric. Bulgarian demands for Western
Thrace-and the outlet to the Aegean
which that would give her-are equally
supplied with antecedents. But these
issues had nothing to do with the war
against Hitler and his Axis satellites.
They are pure and simply extraneous
issues thrown into the Paris conference
by the Moscow-dominated Slavic bloc
to confuse matters and support bargain
ing positions which otherwise would
fall of their own weight.
The territorial adjustments which the
Paris conference might reasonably make
would be those between the i've defeated
Axis nations and the victors-in favor
OF the latter-and adjustments between
any two or more of the defeated nations,
such as Hungary's return Of Transyl-
vania to Romania.
There Is nothing in the terms Of ref
ence Of the peace conference which
supports either OF Yugoslavia's or Bull
garia's claims on Greece. however. And
II the Paris conference were to treat
them seriously 1t would be usurping the
power and authority which belong to
the United Nations. The charter adopted

More Violence in Athens

The decision of the mayor and the
board of aldermen of Athens, Ten
nessee, to resign their Offices In the
face Of continuing violence and
threats serves to point up one of
the principal dangers which accom-
panies a resort to force in the settle
ment of political problems.
Athens, a quiet farming cemmu-
nifty of 1000 inhabitants, came into
national prominence on August l
when a group of war veterans, con-
vinced that county election was
being stolen" from them, engaged
in a shooting battle with deputy
sheriffs and other county officials.
After a night of violence the vet
erans won, and there was little dis
position throughout the country to
condemn the tactics they had en-
ployed.
The latest developments in Athens,
however, put somewhat different
face on the matter. The mayor and
the aldermen were not involved in
the election battle. Nevertheless,
they have been subjected to a con-
tinuing reign of terror, including
threatening phone calls and letters,
and eliminating in the firing of a
fusillade of shots into the home of
one of the aldermen, endangering
his wife, two daughters and a six
year-old grandson.
Apparently this was not the work
OF the veterans who fought the elec-
tion-night battle, but of wholly ire
sponsible individuals who have taken
advantage Of the breakdown of es-
tablished authority in Athens and
who cannot be handled by the GIs
who ousted the sheriff and his
henchmen. But even II the veterans
themselves are guiltless in this latest
episode, the incident stands as a
clear warning of the dangers which
attend the use of force to settle po-
litical disputes. What is happening
in Athens can happen elsewhere,
and the lesson Is one which should
be taken to heart.

multiply the speeches and add to
the labors of the diplomats, the
projected New York meeting would
be hardly likely to interfere seriously
with the proceedings in Paris. On
the contrary, by giving world opinion
another outlet, 1t might well serve to
speed them up.

ViIIuins and Meat

Depending on personal fancy or
prejudice, every one can pick out
his own villain to blame for the i'm
minent meat famine" which many
expect to be the worst in the Nations
history. But the situation, like the
recent sharp break in the stock
market, cannot be attributed to any
single cause without oversimplifying
the facts to the point of gross dis
tortion.
The famine" to begin with, is
not famine in the sense that there
is an actual acute shortage of meat.
The supply on the hoof, though not
equal to the demand, appears to be
large enough-if fairly distributed
to satisfy at least the minimum
wants of the American people. The
trouble is, however, that livestock
raisers, who received all-time record
prices at the stock yards during the
free market of recent weeks, have
virtually stopped selling because they
are opposed to the ceiling prices
which went into effect at the slaugh-
tering level on August 81 and which
are to be restored-after substantial
upward revision-in the retail field
tomorrow.
Thus, according to authoritative
reports, farmers and cattle raisers,
many OF them having stripped their
pastures of almost all granted
stock during the free-market boom,
are now holding back animals for
fattening, while the Western ranges,
whose grass-fed CRITTERS" yield the
utility cuts that constitute the major
meat source at this season, are re-
fusing to send anything to market
under price control. Also responsible
for the shortage is the fact that the
consumers have eaten an average
of 100 pounds of beef and the like
per person since January /.
At first glance-again depending
on ones individual fancy or preju-
dice-it would seem plausible enough
to attribute the impending famine"
which is throwing great numbers of
packing-house workers out of jobs,
either to the greed" of the livestock
producers or to the stupidity" of the
Government as represented by the
OPA. But such oversimplified ex-
plantations do not stand up under
inspection. The farmers and cattle
raisers, for example, can defend
their views with some cogency, in
Guiding the view-shared by many
packers and retailers-that If the
Government had let the recent free
market continue, supply would have
caught up with demand and "even-
tually" corrected the cost situation.
BY the same token, however, the
OPA has persuasive arguments to
offer, too, not least of all the argu-
ment that "eventually" is a vague
word and that the average Ameri-
can food budget would have been
totally upset If ceilings were not re-
stored on skyrocketing meat prices
(Which incidentally brought no in
creased profit to the general run of
retail stores.
In short, the factors responsible
for the famine" including the fac
tor of human nature, are too COM
plex to justify the singing out of a
special villain. To know this, of
course, can be of small comfort to
the housewife who must feed a
family. Since the actual shortage
Is not acute, her indignation will
rightly mount against one group or
another unless the livestock raisers,
the packing houses, the retailers and
OPA officials figure out way to get
at least minimum of meat to her
neighborhood butcher.

Editorial Approved

To ths Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial entitled, "A Good
Precedent" was very good and I heart
lily concur IN 1t.
Our Government is remiss in its said
accounting to the United Nations in
failing to cover the District of Columbia
under its jurisdiction. When our Gov
ernment interprets Its obligation to call
for complete data on any land whose
people do not enjoy the same rights as
the ruling power it should cover the
disenfranchised people of the District
of Columbia, who do not even have q
delegate In Congress.

Work for War Criminals

To the Editor of The Star:
An ancient conqueror of Egypt pun
ished Egyptian criminals not by death
but by labor in the raising Of cities.
Now that 50 much OF the world il in
ruins, 1t would be interesting to know
what is thought both here and in other
countries about our policy in the execu-
ton Of war criminals. Besides the
objection to capital punishment in gen.
eral, that 1t sends into eternity those
guilty and unprepared, there is the
question as to whether the war GRIM
inal, however guilty Of revolving atroc-
tiles, may not become a martyr to his
own people by the mere fact of being
tried and killed by the victorious
enemy. There is danger that, how
ever impartial and fair our trial Of
him may be, we may be accused OF
the vindictive cruelty for which We
are condemning him.
The drama Of execution and the
sympathy 1t excites could be avoided
were the war criminal sentenced to
labor in rebuilding the country he op-
pressed when in power. ANNE.
