That would be, it seems to me,
a dramatic and constructive re-
turn to first principles. It would
place us in the role we ought to
fill - as the disinterested sup
porters of the general interest of
Europe rather than as one of the
CONFERENCE.-The too active com
blatant, many Europeans are be-
ginning to think in a gigantic
conflict between the two g r e a t
non-European world powers. Not
only would it place us in u
proper role; it would immensely
strengthen u legitimate influ-
ence, which we are squandering in
an unsuccessful effort to impose
our ideas where the Soviet Union
is strongest, most sensitive, and
most obdurate.
MI. Byrnes has changed h i S
course once since he took office
and he should not be too proud to
change it again. Intending to OPP
pose and indeed reduce the ex-
pansion of the Soviet Union into
eastern and central Europe, he
has nevertheless played into M.
Molotov's hands. By agreeing to
zeal first with the satellites in the
Russian orbit and with Trieste on
the edge of it, and to conclude
treaties before beginning to dis
cuss the German. the japanese,
and the colonial settlements, he
has offered M. Molotov all the IA
%cilities and every inducement to
consolidate the Russian DONNA
ton, and has renowned all in
ducements and compulsion to
prevent or modify this DONNA
ton.
If he goes through with this pro-
gram, it would mean that the dis
cussion of Germany, which Mr..
Vandenberg admits is the key to
postwar Europe, will begin with
everything settled that the peace
conference can settle east Of Ger
many, and with nothing settled in
the west of Germany and in west
ern Europe. Thus Mr.. Byrnes
would, as he faced M. Molotov, be
disbarred from asking anything
further in eastern Europe, whereas
M. Molotov would still be free to
ask for all sorts of things in the
rest of the world.
1t would be wiser, and 1t would
be more astute, to leave the satel-
lite treaties tentative until a Euro
pean treaty %centering around Ger
many can be negotiated. Our in
fluence in eastern Europe is not
very great, certainly not decisive,
cut it will be greater before we
have signed the satellite treaties
than it will be afterward.
Moreover, if we take the bold
step of sponsoring one multiple
treaty for Europe as a whole, there
would, of course, be some delay.
We could most profitably and con-
strutively use the interval to try
to do what should in any event
have been done before negotiating
with Russia about Germany: we
could use our best efforts to pro-
m o t e agreement by Britain,
France, Belgium, and the Neither
lands about the region of the Ruhr,
and to prepare the three western
zones of Germany for a genuine
federalism.
That would enable the Western
powers to negotiate with much
greater effect. For then the west
of Europe would be as well organ
lied as the east, and it would have
great things to give and to with
hold in negotiating for a settle
ment for Europe as a whole around
the central problem of Germany.

that collision with an iceberg, even
at moderate speed, would probably

The Midway is by far the largest
ship ever to venture into Arctic
regions in winter. Exploring expe-
ditions with much smaller ships
have always started out in late
spring.
The problems to be encountered
by the Midway, Capt. McGregor
says, are in many respects simpler
than those, confronting Col. Baird,
who already has penetrated into
the treeless country of great glacial
boulders which sometimes are piled
up for miles in impenetrable walls

ABOARD U. S. S. MIDWAY, Mar

The first is Capt. Clifford j. Nc

pert formerly with the Carnegie In

spent much of the past Is years in
Greenland. Siberia and Northern
Canada. He is meteorlogist of the

The other is Comdr. j. H. Arbick,
head of the air arm of the Ca
madam Navy who passed years on
the fringe of the Arctic as a North
west Mounted Police official in the
desolate Ungava territory north of
Labrador.
Both men had been associated
with a parallel Arctic expedition,
Operation Musk OK of the Canadian
Army, to test the acclimatization of
men and value of equipment, a ,0OO-
mile trek from the frontier town of
Churchill in Northern Ontario,
where the Arctic starts, northwest

Victorialand, and then southwest to
Edmonton.

This expedition which started
about two weeks ago under the COM
mand OF Col. j. D. Baird of the
Canadian Army is accompanied by
American Army observers and is ex-
pected to serve about the same pur-
pose in testing military equipment
as will the Midway expedition with
respect to naval equipment.
1t Is expected that any actual COM

in the Arctic would involve not only
naval and air fighting but the use
