ByrneS avowS the Christmas
season peace he made al Mos
COW is an excellent compromise
of difficult divergent views
a $3.50 settlement. He is preju-
diced. He made the agreement.
To an objective analyst, the
agreement resembles the rab-
bit stew prepared by Old Trader
Joe out in the Dakotas and sold
10 the Indians. One day an
Indian complained bout the
rabbit stew. He said:
1T tastes like hOrsemeat.'
"Oh, no." said Trader Joe
in an injured tone. 'It has
good rabbit In It,"
But does IL have any horse
meat ," asked the Indian.
"Only $685." conceded Joe
"Whattayamean fifty-fifty:"
shouted the Indian. This Is
horsemeat."
well, If you want to know"
confessed Joe, II always use in
each preparation one rabbit
and one horse"
EOR JAPAN, a national we
l. conquered and occupied
alone. there is to be established
a governing commission of the
So-called United Nations, each
with a veto power. We are to
surrender our control TO other
nations. including Russia.
But for the nations Russia
conquered aRd-eeeHPied- alone.
there are 10 be no governing
commissions. We do not have
veto power in any. Nor does
any other nation.
In Romania and Bulgaria.
both enemy nations now in Rus
sian hands, Mr.. Stain pro-
nounced himself in favor of
matters as they now stand, says
our state secretary. But MIR.
Byrnes thinks he Won something
he considers as concessions by
Russia in Bulgaria and Romania.
AS regards Bulgaria. the agree
ment says:
"The Soviet government takes
upon itself the responsibility of
giving friendly advice TO the
Bulgarian government"
There it will insist upon some
additional leaders who 'are
really suitable" (?) and who
will work Loyalty" %.
As soon as Stain finds men
who are really suitable and who
will work Loyalty, then the
United States and Great Britain
will recognize that government
but Mr.. Byrnes says Stain is
already satisfied.
The rabbit is SOM ew h [
larger for Romania. Free
and unfettered elections are
advised there. "as soon as
possible" and the reorganized
government should" - mark
you. need not-but should
give assurances concerning the
grant of freedom of the press,
speech, religion and association"
none of which basic Atlantic
Charter freedoms are mentioned
for Bulgaria.
MIR. STAIN will let a three
w nation committee in TO see
things, and aiiow one repre-
sentative of two parties get
INTO the government some
where.
These are the hareS of Mr..
Byrnes' stew, the concessions
he won for our way of life.
Even the remaining horsemeat
is doubtful and vague.
Korea we split with Russia
$3.50 China. we will withdraw
from. leaving Chang TO survive
Communist revolution if he can.
The conquest of northern
Iran by Russia is not men
toned nor is Yugoslavia. al
ready under Russian controls.
Mr.. ByrneS says Gen. MacAr-
thur will have a free hand in
Japan, but the agreement says
otherwise. To the United Ma
tlonS commission is specifically
entrusted all matters of pol
icieS, principles and standard"
which seems TO cover every
thing.
While Russia has but one

any nation can veto any Mac

by demanding a review"
MR.. BYRNES forgot TO men,

emergencies "only following
consultation and the attainment
of agreement" in the commits
sion, even as to fundamental
changes in the regime of con-
troll.
As for the atomic bomb. Mr..
Byrnes says we are 10 give
away no secrets. but the agree
