The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

LONDON, Jan Decentralization and
relief to suffering millions must 60 hand
in hand with the United Nations If there
Is to be peace in this war-torn world.
Britain. keeniy aware of this, plans to
propose to the General Assembly Of the
UNO at its first historic meeting here
Thursday that UNRRA be given a con-
nection with the Assembly and, thus, a
permanancy and a prestige which 1t
does not now possess The question Is
to be brought definitely to the attention
Of the UNO through resolution.
Whatever may be thought of UNRRA
tributor. this relief agency is today the
hope Of millions of people in Europe.
The British press generally has sup
ported the proposal that there be in
creased international aid and activity
to bring about relief and rehabilitation.
For example, the London Daily Herald
says:
During the last Is months, UNRRA
has fashioned itself into perhaps the
most effective international body which
the world has ever seen. Like all such
organizations, 1t had its troubles at the
beginning. It was bitterly criticized and
attacked, and there were plenty Of cynics
ready to prophesy complete failure
They have been wonderfully confounded
and when the debate on its work takes
place there will be spokesmen from many
nations who will be able to testify to the
effectiveness of its efforts. 1t is not too
much to say that in some countries
UNRRA has meant the whole difference
between hope and despair"
=
The British government is not only
suggesting greater prestige for UNRRA
ss an adjunct Of the United Nations, but
that new nations should enter the gen.
eral compact and that generous contri-
buttons be made by all. The London
Telegraph and Morning Post, comment
ing on the proposal, says:

Assembly stands resolution put down

This Changing World
By Consfanfins Byo,cn

The UNO does not expect to have
any stormy discussion when 1t meets
for the FIRST time Thursday. The fear
that the Teheran government may place
before the delegates the matter Of Azer-
baijan has now been allayed. The Brit
ish diplomatssin Teheran have persuaded
the Iranians to let sleeping dogs he."
The British Ambassador at Teheran
has presented to the King and to the
Prime Minister q disco,iraging picture
Of the chances Of obtaining any satis-
faction at the forthcoming meeting OF
the UNO. He is reportsd to have ad-
vised the Iranian leaders that the pres
entation Of the case" might be used by
Russia to refuse even to consider the
formation Of a tripartite commission as
was suggested at the Big Three foreign
ministers meeting in Moscow.
The American Ambassador at Tehe-
ran, Wallace Murray, is said to have
not been consulted by his British col
league when the latter made friendly
representations to the Iranian govern.
ment on January 2.
The American Government takes the
position that the Iranian- Russian dis
pute is q typical case for the UNO. It
that 1t would not be expedient for a
small country like Iran to raise q major
controversy at the first meeting OF that
international organization intended to
settle disputes between all its members.
The planned tripartite commission is
considered by some American policy
trainers as mere coyer-up arrangement
to put the final stamp Of approval on
~ 80 - -
United Nations between two great
powers. The vote Of the American dele
gate-if such commission is estab-
'lished-would be overriden by the Brit
ish and the Russian representatives.
In the meantime, reports from Tehe-
ran say that an article published in the
Russian governments official newspaper,
Pravda. protesting the presence OF a
handful OF American soldier on Iranian
soil is being widely distributed in reprint
in Iran.
The article, which was not trans
mitted to this country, is said to accuse
America Of unayowed imperialistic in
tentions because 1t was still maintain
ing . small force in Iran in December.
1t also pointed out that the presence of
an American oficer, Col Norman
Schwartzkopf, as the head Of the Persian
gendarmerie Of the "reactionary Teheran
government" is further proof Of the
Obscure" aims of this country.
The American unit in the Persian
Gulf Command is very small. It's task
Is to hquidate the remainder Of the vast
American material which was taken to
Iran to provide the Russian armies with
the necessary supplies to defeat the
Germans This material played a vital
part in the defense of Stalingrad and
the Moscow government has recognized
that without the line of communica-

plan Sea and the Caucasus, the Ger

Woods in Winter

To him who loves Nature in her
myriad forms there is something
very appealing about the woods in
winter. Now in the Northland's
sleeping time when the pulse is slow
and irregular and the voice of the
snow-covered land is thick with cold,
the trees stand patiently waiting
waiting for the cycle of the Storm
King to pass away and whispers of
new season to come inching from
the Southland.
This Is the heart of winter and in
the woods and swamps, on the hill
sides and around the fields, in the
slough bottoms and along the up
land roads, the trees stand revealed
in their beautiful bark-pattern
robes. Individual naples, oaks and
elms are intricate etchings against
the sky. Sometimes when a low
circling January sun tips over the
horizons rim in flaming fire of
reds and scarlets, tree or group
Of them make unforgettable pictures
against the first months skyline.
After storm of soft moist snow the
evergreens are appealing patterns
of green and white and the decidu-
Gus trees stretch horizontal, white
clothed arms in the gray air.
. Deep in the woods all is hushed
and peaceful. The pines cluster
together and hold gentle caucus
about the weather. On quiet days
one listens closely to hear the soft
conversation in the tree tops. Some
times when the weather man is
brewing q storm in his sky cauldron
Of sleet and snow the high limbs
bend and toss In mounting excite

Letters to The Star
Agrees With Mai. Eliot That
Germans Should Suffer

To the Editor Of The Star:
In his column on Needs OF the Lib
Grated" Maj. George Fielding Eliot has
spoken SO fervently the thing that lies
closest to my heart that feel . great
urge to commend him for his words,
which should find an echo in the mind
Of every decent. loyal citizen of America.
The following statement ought to be
posted on the highways that "he who
runs may read: Frankly and honestly,
I don't care very much what happens to
the Germans. They asked for 1t. : .
They were willing enough to fatten on
the rest Of Europe. They were willing
enough to work their neighbors to death
as slaves. They were willing enough to
treat those neighbors as subhumans and
to see them slaughtered like animals
II they have to suffer for these
crimes, maybe the example will do the
rest Of the world good. At any
rate, the Germans are the last people
we should think of. They should sit at
the bottom Of the table, or on the floor,
and let the scraps be thrown to them
II there are any scraps. Let the
Germans face the consequences Of their
war, however terrible"
1t is my deep conviction that Ger
many, henceforth, should be considered
as . nation accursed, to be ostracized by
the world as such, for not in thousand
years can she make restitution for her
terrible orIilt in which she feAls ,,eith er
shame nor sorrow. She who boasted of
her culture" is the darkest blot in
barbarity in the present society Of
nations"
Maj. Eliot has shown us clearly that:
''The peoples the Germans have tor
tured, ravased and despoiled for six
dreadful years-they are our RESPONSE
bility. Let us make this our first
order OF business in the new year. I"
They shall not die!"

by the British government. 1t calls for
new international effort to relieve dis
tressed populations and hasten economic
recovery. The work Of UNRRA may well
be considered in all its aspects 1t needs
much-increased support to produce en-
during Improvement Assemblies and
councils would take place in vain If the
world were left without hope of emerg-
ing from its present misery.
I'VE see everywhere examples Of dis
cord and internal and external strife
endured by wretchedness. Economic CO.
operation between the nations is no less
essential than agreement on frontiers
and mandates and treaties and other
political matters
The British earnestly hope for full
cooperation by United States delegates
on this proposal. They realize that the
question OF further heavy contributions
to UNRRA has been debated at length
in Congress. But they realize. too, that
Congress In the end has hastened the
appropriations required as the share of
the United States in this great under
taking
The tremendous task of relief and re-
habllltatlon Is understood thoroughly
only by those Americans who have actu-
ally visited the devastated areas Of the
world today, and they are comparatively
few. 1t Is certain, however, that these
huge areas must be given a chance to
revive with their peoples If there is to be
lasting recovery. And unless there is re-
covery, the debilitating effect will be
felt in all nations. no matter how rich
and how powerful.
The British, as the host nation to the
UNO Assembly, are determined to make
this first organizational meeting a Sue
cess. They further believe that the UNO
should at this meeting give the utmost
emphasis to economic cooperation
throughout the world Particular en-
phasis will be placed on this phase Of
the meeting by England's leaders, in
cluding Prime Minister Attlee and For
eign Minister Bevin.

Charter Goino Home

The Lincoln Cathedral copy of
the Magma Charta is going back to
England. DR.. Luther H. Evans,
Librarian Of Congress, will deliver
it to the Earl of Halifax, British
Ambassador, next Friday, and the
historic document, sheltered here
during the war, soon will be on dis
play again in the beautiful old
church on the Cliff hills above the
Witham and the Foss Dyke where
it belongs.
But no edition of the famous
charter can be regarded as an
exclusive property Of any single
place or institution. BY its nature
and in harmony with its purpose,
each parchment has a public char
acter which now extends to the
entire human race. Originally there
were many of them. They were
deposited throughout King Johns
realm for the convenience Of his
subjects, great and humble alike.
Most Of them disappeared as the
centuries passed. Two are in the
British Museum in London and one
is at Salisbury Cathedral in the
shadow of the tallest spire in Eng
land. It is important that all should
be preserved against the assaults Of
time as well as the occasional mad
violence of men. They are relics Of
an age which, however remote, still
never will be completely gone. As
such, they have value and worth
in the eyes Of thousands.
More significant, though, is the
fact of the Magma Charta's relation
to modern expressions of humanity's
most precious ideals. It may seem
long way from what the Barons
did at Runnymede in June, -1215
and what was done by the delegates
of fifty nations at San Francisco in
June, 1945, but the distance actually
is inconsequential-except as 1t has
afforded mankind experience con-
ducive to the final achievement Of an
equitable and peaceful civilization.
In the Library OF Congress the
great charter has been shown in
close association with the Declara-
ton of Independence and the Con-
stitution Of the United States with
both Of which 1t is everlastingly
connected. Washington residents
who have not seen them together
have a few more days in which to
afford themselves that privilege,
But even when the Magma Charts

Atomic Weapons and Fear
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

The problem Of controlling atomic
weapons is largely problem of control
ling fear.
The worst kind of fear is fear of the
unknown. If you know the dimensions
and character of danger. you can at
least estimate your chance of resisting
or avoiding 1t. You are much less subject
to panic and to the hasty decisions to
which panic may give birth.
At present we find all sorts of people
making guesses as to how long it will
take the Russians or somebody else to
make atomic bombs, ands as to various
methods by which these bombs might
be delivered on American targets-in-
cluding leaving them in the parcel room
Of the Grand Central Station. We are
not thinking so much about what we
may do with such bombs; yet we are
the only people who have any. We know
we are not going to start an atomic war.
But do others know it?
Are we not, in fact, by excessive
secrecy, building up fear Of the un-
known" in the minds Of other peoples.
especially the suspicious Russians, which
may result in the very thing We are
trying so desperately to avoid-an
atomic ornaments race?
There is certainly very definite i'm
preston to be gathered from reading
official statements, evidence at congress
sional hearings, and talks by scientists
and Government oficials. that the
United States is going right ahead with
the extensive manufacture of atomic
bombs and with the manufacture and
storage Of fashionable material.
y
It has even been said that some Of
these bombs are 1000 times as power
ful" as the bombs which erased the
cities Of Hiroshima and Nagasah from
the map Of Japan.
Under these conditions, is It any
wonder that other people get q little
nervous? II we continue to make bombs,
and continue to shroud the whole ques-
ticn in secrecy, would it be any wonder
II the Russians bent every effort toward
catching up with us both in the develop
ment Of atomic energy and in the manu-
facture OF atomic weapons?
wouldn't 1t be better to say frankly,
