This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

As unpleasant as it may sound to the
American people. the international sit
uation has deteriorated to such a state
that the world must be described as
being in an undeclared state of war.
Some high officials in Washington who
have become accustomed to looking at
facts rather than thinking in wishful
terms are convinced that the world is
drifting toward another catastrophe
The wanton attacks on unarmed
American planes by Yugoslav aviators.
the offensive and adamant stand taken
by the Soviet delegates at the Paris
conference, and the Yenan Communists
formal declaration of war on the Chi
nese government are not separate Incl
dents. They all belong to a pattern
which Is being drawn by members of
the Politbureau sitting in long daily
sessions behind the walls of the Kremlin
in Moscow.
Aside from these incidents, we must
be prepared to hear of another crisis
in the Near East soon after Moscow
receives the Turkish reply to the note
of August 9. The Ankara government
is expected to reject the Russian demand
for naval and air bases in the Darda-
nelles.
According to reports from the Russian
Turkish border. it appears that large
number of Red troops are ready to
march as soon as the Kremlin gives the
signal.
In Paris Secretary Byrnes is making
desperate efforts to talk the Russians
into reason and is pointing out to them
that in the end the U. S. S. r. would suffer
Ear more than the other nations which
would become involved in another
world calamity. Whether his wise words
are having any effect on the Soviet dip
lomats, whose hands are firmly tied by
the group which directs Russias do
nestle and foreign policies in Moscow,
remains to be seen. For the time being
however, all signs point to wanton
provocations on the part of the Moscow
rulers in all sections of the world.
The incidents of the two unarmed
American planes being brought down
by the Yugoslav fighters is considered
in certain official quarters here as even
worse than the Panay incident in 1897
The japanese at least pretended at that
time that the little gunboat protecting
American interests on the Yangtze
River had been sunk by mistake and
they offered apologies and an indemnity.
So far, the Belgrade government, which
is nothing but a subordinate minor

Meat RecontroIIed
Win sunoay MORNING Edition.
ASHIN TON, d. C.

The decision to restore price cell
ings and subsidies on meat is the
most interesting-and most contro-
versial-of the rulings which have
been announced by the Price Re-
control Board
Although the boards ruling was a
unanimous one it has the earmarks
Of compromise decision, and like
most compromises 1t disappoints
more people than it satisfies. There
seems to be relatively little dis
agreement with the revival of con-
trolls on soybeans and cottonseed,
for the acute shortage of fats and
oils is too obvious to be debated.
The refusal to reimpose controls
on dairy products and most grains,
however. has brought forth vehem-
ent protests. The CLIO says that this
dismal failure" on the boards part
will bring greater imitation" to the
American people. Spokesman for the
livestock interests, bitterly critical
of the action on meat, ask how
ceilings can be maintained on meat
without corresponding controls on
grain which constitutes the prin-
cipal item of feed for cattle and
hogs. And members of Congress
from cattle and hog producing areas
predict another decentralization" of
industry and revival OF the black
market.
But the members OF the board ap-
parently do not share these fears.
Pointing out that meat, according
to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics,
accounts for 10 per cent of the food
budget Of the moderate income
family the board declared that the
maintenance of price levels low
enough ito provide an adequate pro-
portion of the total meat supply to
workers in low-income brackets Is
important to attain full productiv-
tty."
From this basic premise it pro-
ceeded to find that meat prices
have risen unreasonably, that the
supply Of meat has been and
will continue to be short in relation
to demand at reasonable prices, and
that the revived regulations are
practicable and enforceable by OPA
It is this last assumption which
deserves to be received with greatest
reservation. Certainly increases In
meat prices from IS to 80 per cent
at the wholesale level, with CORE
spending rises in retail prices, are
unreasonable. And, conceding this,
it follows undeniably that meat is
in short supply "in relation to de-
mand at reasonable prices" But it
requires considerable optimism to
accept at full value the boards
finding with respect to the ability
of OPA to enforce new price ceilings
and stamp out the black market.
OPA was not able to do this in the
past, nor have persuasive reasons
been advanced to show how it might
be able to do so in the future. And
il this is more than OPA can do
then the prospect is not one of more
meat at reasonable prices for those
in the low-income brackets, but of
less meat for all-at least for all
who cannot afford to pay or who
will not pay the black market prices.

In Other Words, Power
From the Christian Science Monitor.

FTom Inc CnrlHtlan Sclence Monltor.
The concentration of power IN the
hands of the Big Three has to be borne
in mind If the methods of Paris are
to be understood. We should remember.
too. that this concentration is not the
result of Machiavellian scheme by
some sections of mankind to dominate
other sections. It is the outcome Of
many natural factors which men de-
velop primarily for peaceful purposes.
1t just happens that these add up also
to what is known as war potential"
or, in a word, power. The calling Of
the Paris Conference is not an effort
to consolidate this power to the detri-
ment of small nations but to mitigate
its worst effects. 1t Is step in peace

Decrepit Automobiles

The International Association of
Chiefs of Police had good reason to
describe as terrifying" its findings
in a six-week Nation wide checkup
on the mechanical condition of
automobiles involved in traffic acct
dents. In report to President Tru-
man, the association asserted that
nearly one out of every three cars
whose drivers were questioned by
police from May Is to July / was
found to have one or more major
mechanical defects.
Chief among the faults, the Presi-
dent was told. were unsafe brakes
and defective lights. both of which
long have played leading roles in
boosting traffic casualty rates. In
joining in the survey, District police
tested nearly 10000 cars during the
six weeks of the survey and found
that about one out of four was me-
Chemically defective. At some test
ing stations the ratio was much
higher than that.
Even more disturbing than these
findings is the fact that conditions
are likely to grow worse before the
flow Of new automobiles from the
factories brings any appreciate re-
duction Of the number Of aging and
decrepit cars on the highways. Car
owners have grave responsibility
during this continued period of me-
chanical obsolescence. Their own
safety and that of the general pub
lie requires constant attention to the
deteriorating condition Of their cars.
Meanwhile 1t would be a good idea
II the Nations police chiefs con-
verted their survey into a continuing
safety campaign, to the end that
defective automobiles be removed
from the streets until they are made
safe to operate. Such a campaign
might save many lives and prevent
a lot of grief during the perilous
period ahead when old automobiles
will continue to be predominant on
the public thoroughfares.

Alternative to Control


atomic energy, DR.. Harold C. Urey
has given voice to frightening but
simple logic in declaring in "Air
Affairs" that the United States
might find it a matter of strict
necessity" to conquer and rule the
world unless A-weapons are sub
iected to effective international
control In the not-too- distant
future.
In actual fact, of course, nothing
could be more remote than the pos
sibility that the American people
would support such course of
conquest. To begin with, they are
so sick of war that a direct threat
to national security or another
Pearl Harbor would be necessary
to arouse them to take up arms
again. Further, If the terrible thing
were done at all, it would have to
be done within the next five or ten
years-before other powers had
time to develop atomic weapons,
before our present advantages were
lost, before the secrets" Of the
atom became known to every land.
Finally, keeping in mind the scant
enthusiasm we have for the vital
job of policing Germany and Japan,
it seems inconceivable to the point
of absurdity that we could ever
cultivate a fervor for ruling the
world.
Nevertheless, DR.. Ureys idea Is
altogether logical, and he has pre-
sented 1t not because he advocates
it or because he feels there is any
likelihood that Americans will en-
brace it, but because he wants to
emphasize how dreadful are the
alternatives to genuine international
atomic control. His thesis has long
since become familiar one, a plat
ltudinous one, but it needs to be
repeated over and over again in
the hope that the world will take
1t to heart and act accordingly
Stated simply, the thesis is that all
the nations will either work to-
gether in Harvesting the atom along
the lines suggested by the United
States or they will engage In the
deadliest ornaments race of all
time-a race pregnant with the
probability Of civilizations suicide,
a race so dangerous that security
considerations would make logical,
If not feasible, a preventive war of
the sort suggested by DR.. Urey.
Only one major power-only Rus
sia-seems to be blind to the grim
ness OF the choice offered by the
atom. The overwhelming majority
of nations, large and small, openly
support the essentials of the Amer
lean control plan, realizing that the
world must otherwise be q place of
collective fear and insecurity, with
each country or blocs of countries
preparing desperately for the day
of atomic war. In such an atmos-
phere, poisoned and panicky, a
cataclysm could happen overnight.
DR.. Ureys conquest idea is not
likely ever to be adopted, but the
United States will have to resort
to some modification of it, will have
to gear itself for sudden forehanded
defensive attacks against potential
enemies, If A-weapons continue I'M
controlled. Lacking full Russian
cooperation, the future will be as
dismal and suspicion-rid as that.

Ihrace Never Grecian?

lhrace Never Grecian?
To the Editor OF The Star:
In a letter to your paper published
August IL, Soterios Nicholson writes
tnst: Bulgaria, true to her historic
ability to stir up trouble, has (again)
set about causing Balkan unrest and
Inlrd World War possibilities.
Latest manifestation of this "his-
torlc ability" Mr.. Nicholson discovers
IN an alleged statement by President
kolaroff of the Bulgarian National As
semoly, according to which: Secretary
OF State Byrnes has announced that he
would have no objection to a Bulgarian
opening to the Aegean Sea, at the ex-
pense OF Greece, II this would mean
peace In the Balkans"
rms answer does not propose to
either deny or confirm the words as
cr1bed to MIR. Kolaroff, respectively, to
Mr. Byrnes. Rather to the contrary
its modest aim is to point out that, II
Mr. Byrnes really entertains the ideas
attributed to him, that only means
that the American Secretary Of State
IN 1946 Is faithful to the very same
American policy, as regards a Bulgarian
outlet to the Aegean, that the American
Secretary of State in 1919 defended 80
valiantly. though unsuccessfully at the
Peace Conference in Paris ~ years ago
Ihat policy, as summarized by the
Hon. Henry White, American spokes-
man for the Council of Heads of Dele
cations of the Five Great Powers on
July 81, 1919, was: "* The Ameri-
can opinion Is founded on GER
tain facts that are not subject to dis
pute, on certain principles which have
guided this conference in It's labors
hitherto, and on one and only one
ambition: namely, to contribute Loyalty
and unselfishly to the great end we all
nave In View--a just and enduring
peace.
There is here no question of giving
territory to Bulgaria The only question
before the council Is: Shall we take
territory away from Bulgaria western
Thrace) and give 1t to Greece?"
One wonders If it would not be wise
to do in 1946 what the powers failed to
do In 1919 when they assured the fatal
contamination of all the sad forebod
ings that Mr.. White and his colleagues
on the American delegation clearly
toresaw.
1t is hardly necessary to add any
thing more than to recall that Western
Thrace never had been part of Greece
until several months after the confer
ence of 1919, when it was transferred
to Greece--in violation of the peace
treaty and without the consent OF the
United States Government.
