The Moscow Conference
the Providence journal.

From the Providence Journal
In summary and weighing the various
points, we are of the belief that the
results at Moscow were constructive as
far as they went but that the omissions,
particularly as to Germany, were prob
ably more important than the commits
sions, except as to China and Korea,
and that certainly Russia got the lions
share Of the bargain. The outcome still
leaves us in doubt as to the effectiveness
of our power to negotiate. 1t may not be
the least significant report from Moscow
that the Russians kept up Mr.. Byrnes
without sleep for so many hours that he
was literally bleary-eyed and worn out.
That was circumstance at Potsdam, 1t
is reported, which led Mr.. Truman to
say that he would never do it again. The
Russians are truly tough negotiators,
and they are looking out for special Rus
sian interests while we must guard our
global interest against the encroachment
of their special interest if we are to have
a really peaceful and orderly world For
this reason, we cannot rate the Moscow
Conference as entirely successful.

they had better go along part of the way

like some of the Republicans in America,
but there are dyed-in-t the-Wool Con-
servatives who believe that the party
should fight it out on the anti-new deal,
anti-nationaliZation of industry line,
come what may. This is the position
taken, for example. by Anthony Mar
lowe, MP for Brighton, who in state
ment published by the Evening Stand
ard said "either you believe in state
monopoly or you do not and If you do
not you must knock its ugly head
wherever you see it."
This is the point at which the Con-
servative party must make up its mind
where it is going. To those millions Of
people in the country who hate state
monopoly, it does no good to say I'VE

its merits ana see where the greatest

Conservatives to clear their minds on
this issue; that they be not overawed
by their defeat but be true to principle.

Winston Churchill, leader of the Con-
Servative party and now in America,
He is an amazing figure Hailed by his

Anthony Eden is looked upon as his

ably Mr.. Churchill. are confident the

to turn it out. But that is not the view
OF close students of politics They do
not see much prospect of a return of the

who show promise, none of them has
yet developed that promise in a big way

iran: Test for UNO

The decision Of the Iranian Gov
ernment to present its case before
the General Assembly of the United
Nations Organization, unless some
arrangement satisfactory to it is
arrived at by the Great Powers,
raises an issue whose disposal will
go far toward determining the
character of UNO.
The issue itself is clear. A separa-
list movement broke out in the
province of Azerbaijan. Attempts
OF the central government to restore
its authority were forbidden by the
Russian troops occupying the prov
ince. A provincial regime has been
set up headed by Soviet citizens or
local persons of known Soviet afil-
1ationS. Whether or not this move
ment has been engineered and sup
ported by Soviet Russia, which
Moscow denies. is beside the point;
because the exclusion of the central
government authorities from Azer-
balJan violates specific pledges made
by Soviet Russia. Britain and the
United States to respect Trans sov-
ereignty and integrity. All diplo-
matte attempts of London and
Washington to get Moscow to live
up to the spirit and letter of those
pledges have failed, and at the re-
cent Moscow Conference Mr.. Molo-
tov refused even to discuss the mat
ter officially or to allow an Iranian
representative to appear there and
present his arguments to the For
eign Ministers.
Faced with this impasse, the
1ranian government announces it's
determination to exercise its rights
under UNO, of which it is a charter
member, by stating its case before
the General Assembly This is
frankly embarrassing to America
and Britain, both of whom wished
to avoid the raising of controversial
issues at the first meeting of UNO
by keeping the agenda to matters of
organization and procedure. How
ever, the Charter is clear on this
point, and Trans right to state it's
case appears to be indisputable.
To be sure. the Assembly can do
nothing positive to settle the matter
beyond a debate and recommended
ton to the Council; and since the
Council is bound by the unanimity
rule, the veto of Russia can block
all action. Nevertheless, a thorough
airing of the facts and equities by
the Assembly should do much to en-
tighten and mobilize world public
opinion. And, no matter what the
immediate repercussions, this would
seem to be worth while. If the So
Wet Union is acting in fragrant dis
regard of the principles upon which
UNO is founded, it is well that this
should be made unmistakably ap-
parent. In a time of supreme crisis
like this, nothing is more dangerous
than illusions. And if, in an atomic
age, the present Charter does not
provide genuine security against
aggression, the instinct of self
preservation throughout world in
deadly peril will surely find way
to remedy an intolerable situation.

Bases in the Pacific

In asserting that the United States
proposes to hold on to all former
Japanese-held islands which were
won by our forces and which are
deemed essential to our future ma
tional security, President Truman
has said nothing basically new. He
has merely reaffirmed a point he
made as long ago as last August
when he declared that 1--WE are going
to maintain the military bases nee
eSsary for the complete protection
of our interests and of world peace"
The Presidents August statement
served to clear the air of certain
misgivings that had been caused
few weeks earlier when he spoke
informally in Berlin and proclaimed
the broad principle that there is
not one piece of territory " = that
we want out of this war" His latest
remarkS-made in answer to queS-
tionS regarding rumored split over
trusteeship ideas among our dele
gates to the United Nations meeting
in London-would seem to place
the matter beyond further doubt as
far as basic American policy is con-
cerned.
AS set forth by the President, this
policy does not seem to differ very
greatly in principle from the COM
promise which the State Depart
ment on one hand and the War and
Navy Departments on the other
were reported to have worked out
last April. during the San Francisco
Conference. The compromise was
that islands essential to the security
of particular country be assigned
to that country-if it had the power
to defend them-and that a distinc-
ton be drawn between strategic
base areas" having only military
significance and "trusteeship areas"
having a population and natural
resources. Under this proposal
which at the time was said to have
had the general support of Britain
and Russia-the United States, for
all practical purposes. would have
complete control of any strategic
base area" considered vital to it.
To this extent, therefore, the Presi-
dents latest statement appears to
do little more than strongly en-
phasize that this country intends to
exercise such control for whatever
length of time it deems necessary.
Last September the Navy tenta-
lively recommended that we hold on
to great network. including Two
Jima and Okinawa. two islands
whose disposition calls for sober
thinking. What the Army recon-
mends has not been revealed, but

The Political Mill
Bv Gould Lincoln

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Plenty of men
are on trial in England today, particu-
larly those of the Labor party Eng
land is in the process of getting its
new deal" and it's bit too early to
say how it is going to work. Conditions
growing out of the war, including short
ages of food, housing and clothing, are
not making it any easier for the party
in power. Naturalization of the coal
and other industries, having particular
public interest, is turning out to be a
real problem.
The Labor party in last summers
election took over in the House of Com
mons in big way. The Laborites-So-
cialistS (call them what you wish) have
a tremendous majority in the House.
They do not have to make concessions
to any other party. They did not, for
example, when the British delegation
to the United Nations Assembly was
named, all Labor, through and through.
The only, danger to them would pos
sibly lie in split within their own ranks.
The recent resignation of Ellis Smith
from the post of parliamentary secre-
tary to the Board of Trade may be a
straw in the wind. He did not like the
treatment he received from the presi-
dent of the board, Sir Stafford Cripps.
He gave us some of his reasons for re-
signing: Too much austerity, which is
the British way of saying tighten the
belt" failure to nationaliZe the cotton
industry and disagreement over the dis
posal of surplus stocks.
Mr. Smith favors the naturalization
of all industry.
No tremendous enthusiasm is being
shown at this time over the Labor gov
ernment, but the people are inclined to
give the government chance to show
what it can do. BY the same token.
there is in sight no turning to the Con-
servative party. That party is in pretty
much the same fix as the Republican
party in the United States after the de-
preston hit the country in 1929, and
since. 1t has nothing to offer except
return to the old days or watered-
down reproduction of the old days, ap-
parently that does not appeal to ma
jority of the British people.
The Conservatives are themselves in
quandary. Some are not sure but that

Let the Investor Beware

The New York Stock Exchange has
launched an unusual advertising
campaign that conveys a message
of warning so timely and so frank
as to be worthy of special note by
newcomers to the investment field.
Those who learned the risks of blind
plunging in the stock market during
the frenzied financial operations
preceding the crash of 1929 probably
need no reminders today but Stock
Exchange officials, noting recent
trends, believe that there are many
others who could profit from a word
of caution by experts in the busi
ness. The theme of the advertising,
investigate before you invest" is
not new one. but apparently the
tendency to ignore this sound advice
is causing grave concern in Wall
Street and elsewhere.
In one advertisement the Stock
Exchange warns against playing
lunches or following tips from "the
grapevine" This is a form of
gambling that is certain, soon or
late, to bring disappointment and
possibly disaster. Furthermore, the
inexperienced dabbler in the market
should remember that the mere fact
that stock is listed on an exchange
does not guarantee it's reliability,
any more than the entry of a horse
in race is indicative of its quail
fications to run the course. The
listing of a stock means nothing
more than that the corporation
offering it has registered a state
ment of the facts regarding it. The
facts themselves, in some cases, are
such as to constitute warning to
investors.
The Stock Exchange points out
that never before has there been
so much factual information to
guide responsible buyers and sellers
of>secprities." This is because. as a
condition to listing their stocks,
companies are required to report,
regularly. all essential data concern
ing their financial standing and
their operations. Careful investors
always examine these statements in
detail, or seek advice from their
brekers, before purchasing stocks

This Changing World
BY Constantine Bro,cn

High officials in the State Department
believe that the question of Russia's in
reference in the domestic affairs OF
Iran will not receive "active considera-
ton" when the Iranian delegate, Seyed
Hassan Taquizadeh, presents his coun-
trys appeal before the UNO to aid in
settlement of the Russo-Iranian dispute.
The Iranian government has been
strongly urged" not to trouble the quiet
waters of the first meeting of the coun-
cil 1t diSregarded this advice because
it firmly believes in the justice of its
claims. Trans territorial integrity was
guaranteed not only by the Declaration
of Teheran on December !, 1943, when
the idea of United Nations Security
Organization was only in its embryonic
stage, but also by the charter of the
UNO. This charter provides that all
members shall refrain in their interna-
tional relations from threats or use
of force against the territorial integrity
Of political independence of any state.
Although "the law obviously is on
the side of Iran. the members of the
Security Council and particularly the
Big Three do not wish to have any ma
jor disturbances at the first meeting,
since it Is certain that the Soviet rep
resentative will use his veto power.
The whole matter Is expected to be
postponed until the next meeting of the

American Guide Series

The books of the American Guide
Series had been wanted for long
time. 1t Is not too much to say that
they serve in the United States the
same purpose that Baedekers, Muir
rays and Muirheads serve in Europe.
They are of value not merely to
travellers but also to scholars con-
cerned with history, geography and
especially ethnography-the science
of human culture. Unfortunately,
however, they were not issued in
editions large enough to meet the
demonstrated need. They were Fed
eral Writers Project enterprises, and
perhaps for that reason were pub
lished only in small numbers. 1t
follows that most of them now are
out of print.
But the Oxford University Press,
which brought out eleven of the
original guide books, stands ready to
make the series current again.
There should be a new edition for
each State at regular intervals.
Otherwise, the data provided get
out of date. A staff of competent
writer's and editors, assigned exclu-
Sively to the task of revision, obvi-
ously will be necessary. Local au-
thorities in each instance must be
consulted. That seems to mean that
there should be regional Offices to
keep in touch with developments
In the States as they occur and to
arrange for the proper changes in
the several texts. The work is Ger
tain to be expensive, and the guides
on that account cannot be cheap.
A basic element of quid pro quo is
imperative, if the venture is to
succeed
That it ever can be richly profit
able is unlikely. The oxford Press,
then, is volunteering for what will
be, in effect, labor of love. 1t will
deserve all the assistance it can
recruit. Here in the District of
Columbia many of the men and the
women who collaborated on. the
volume entitled Washington: City
and Capital" produced in 1887, are
sure to wish to aid.
