Supersecretory of Stute

A good many people would be
inclined to support the reasoning
behind the pronouncement of Jo-
seph P. Ryan, president of the
American Federation of Labor's
international Longshoremen's As
sociation, that his men will load
no more UNRRA supplies for Yugo-
slavia until proper action is taken
against those who were responsible
for shooting down our planes" Our
continued shipment of supplies to
this unfriendly country so closely
parallels the continued sale of scrap
iron to Japan before Pearl Harbor
that there is wide resentment over
the policy, regardless OF the inter
national character of UNRRA.
In this case, therefore, Mr.. Ryan's
veto OF a national policy will re-
ceive some public support. That
should not be permitted to obscure
the dangerous significance of what
he has done. If Mr.. Ryan can get
away with it in this case-and he
can get away with it under the
absurdities of our labor laws-some
other union can with equal success
step in and assume the dictation of
other international policies. There
is discomtlting evidence already
that this has been attempted in the
past and, unlike the case of Mr..
Ryan, that such dictation has fol-
lowed the party line from-Moscow.
Mr.. Ryan would say that in our
democracy no man can be forced
TO work against his will and that
If he chooses not to load ships for
Yugoslavia there is no power to
make him do 50. 1t Is the same
argument which rationalizes the
decision of union to cut of cleo
tricity to a community, to cut off
the supplies Of bread or milk, to
enforce its DEGREES by infiicting all
manner OF penalties against the
public. And the unions will con-
tlnue to make such decisions, ex-
tending, as in the case OF the long
shoremen, into the field OF inter
national relations, until we find
that we have gone long way to-
ward substituting anarchy for de-
mocracy. The unions will do this
unless the American people force
their political leaders to draw the
line between the rights of a union
and the public interest, and to make
all union rights subservient to the
public interest. The value of Mr..
Ryan's invasion of the field of
foreign policy is that he has shown
SO clearly, for all to see, the direc-
tion OF the path we are now follow
ing.

Trieste Aqoin

The warning issued by Hector Nc
Neil, British delegate on the Italian
Political and Territorial Commission.
that Britain will return to it's orig
lnal view on the entire Italo-Yugo-
slav border problem unless the Paris
Conference can implement work.
able formula for the International
lied status of Trieste reveals the
hollowness of the agreement" ar
rived at by the Big Four on this vital
matter.
The entire course of Soviet diplo-
macy during the conference shows
that Moscow is endeavoring to at
tain by indirection that for which it
originally contended-namely, COM
plete Yugoslav control of Trieste and
the entire Venezia Giulia region.
Soviet Delegate Vishinsky has now
reiterated his moral backing of the
Yugoslav thesis, coupled with sup
port for new Yugoslav claims which,
If acceded to, would result in full
de facto control over Trieste, what
ever legalistic camouflage might veil
the actual situation. To this the
British declare themselves unalter-
ably opposed, insisting that the in
ternational status of Trieste must be
reality and that it's control by the
United Nations must be assured.
Otherwise, Britain feels that Trieste
and an adequate portion of Venezia
Giulia should remain under Italian
sovereignty.
In this vexatious controversy two
major factors are involved. The
first Of these is political and stra-
tegic. Trieste has become a touch
stone OF the diplomatic contest be-
tween the Soviet and western blocs
which Is most acute in the Near and
Middle East. Trieste in Yugoslav
hands would be not only window
on the Mediterranean, but also a
gateway for Soviet pressure on and
penetration into Italy itself, which
Britain intends to prevent.
The second factor is economic.
And it is here that the basic equities
of the case coincide with western
policy. From the strictly economic
viewpoint, Trieste is vital neither to
Yugoslavia nor to Italy. 1t owes its
very existence as major port to its
logical role as the Mediterranean
outlet for the commerce of Central
Europe. That role IL fulfilled down
TO World War !, when Trieste formed
Evening star., 1946-09-10

part OF the Austro- Hungarian En-
pire. Since that empires dissolu-
ton Central Europe has been eco
nomicaHy stifled by tariff walls and
communication barriers. A genuine
international status for Trieste
should provide not only for free
port, but also for transportation over
all the trunk railways leading into
its economic hinterland. Such an
arrangement was made regarding
Salonika between Greece and Yugo-
slavia many years ago and worked
satisfactorily until the ambitions of
the Tito regime for political control
over Salonika overshadowed the eco
nomic aspect. Nothing less than a
free port will make the interna-
tionalization of Trieste a viable
experiment.

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,yn

The French government 30 far Is rs
much opposed as Russia to the Byrnes
plan for the political unification of the
Reich.
Foreign Minister Bidault is reported
to have indicated to the American Sec
retary OF State that France would CO.
operate, under certain conditions, to the
economic unification Of Germany but is
firmly determined to annex the coal rich
Saar Valley and the Rhineland under
one form or another
It appears to our top-ranking diplo-
mats who are now In Europe that most
of the Allies are bent on getting their
pound of flesh out Of the war. The pro-
visions Of the Atlantic Charter SO en-
Enthusiastically adhered to by all its sigma
tories that "First, their countries seek
no aggrandizement, territorial or ether"
and Second, they desire to see no ter
ritcrial changes that do not accord with
the freely expressed wishes OF the peoples
concerned" have been completely dis
carded. At the Paris Conference and at
other diplomatic side-shows now taking
place behind the scenes in Europe there
seems to be scramble between the VIC
torious nations-the United States ex-
cepted-to get as much loot out of the
war as the traffic can bear.
The Slav bloc is making territorial
claims not only for the nations which
fought the Axis but also for the former
German satellites. It insists, for in
stance, that Bulgaria-an Axis satellite
be rewarded with q slice Of Greece,
although the latter Balkan country
played an important role by delaying
the Nazis armies in their march to the
Mediterranean long enough to allow the
British to stave of the Germans in
North Africa resulting in the eventual
defeat of Marshal Rommel
4 X
All the ideas of justice and fair play
emphasized by the Allies while they were
fighting the Axis vanished in thin air
soon after the hard fought victory was
won.
The French, who have been restored
as world power-principally in name
by the efforts of the American and
British forces and by American economic
support, are no exception.
Under the pretext that they must
obtain full security against the pro-
strated Reich, they now insist on their

right to annex large German territories
inhabited exclusively by Germanic
peoples.
Some Of the lowest characters, includ-
Ing . number of former Gestapo men
and other active members Of the Nazi
party, have been enlisted to that cause.
These individuals, who did not hesitate
to oppress their own peoples in Hitler's
day, are now reported to have sold their
services to the French in order to escape
punishment and secure favorable living
conditions.
Behind this security" reason there
is. however, a stronger political motive
which compels Frances present top
government ofncial, Foreign Minister
Bidault, to oppose the Byrnes plan.
It Is the fear that in the event of an
armed clash between Russia and her
satellites and the western powers,
France might be among the first coun-
tries to fall prey to possible Russian
aggression.
The French army is weak: so are the.
American and British forces. The
French general staff figures that In the
event the Red armies receive orders to
march they could reach France within
few weeks. Under these conditions M
Bidault is afraid to associate himself
with any major political move of the
western powers lest he anger the Krem-
lin. The French, who in the past have
been known for their close-knitted
logic. now believe they can play both
ends against the middle.
The request of the French govern
ment that the American radio station
at Algiers be closed and the encourage
ment it gives to the Anti-American
Society, Communist organization In
North Africa, are all Indications of the
uncertainty prevailing in the highest
circles OF the French government.
M. Bidault is not entirely to blame.
He is aware of the strength OF the
Communists in France who will be-
come overly active il the Russian troops
are ordered to march. He hopes to
appease Moscow by token gestures such
as closing down the Algiers broadcast
ing station and at the same time gain
popularity within the country by his
strong demands to expand Frances
territorial boundaries.

and the Wallaces, the Bilbos and the
Ickes. As a practical matter, in elec-
tions some Republicans are found swing
ing to the Democratic standard, and
some Democrats to the Republican, de-
pending on which group in their own
old parties is in the ascendency at that
particular time, or what particular major
issue Is involved in the campaign.
Harold Stassen has q material follow
Ing throughout the country. He has,
however, a tough road ahead in his quest
for q Republican presidential nomina-
tion-with plenty of competition from
other potential candidates in the near
ofdng. The Minnesota Republican, as
evidenced by the fact he was invited
to make the keynote speech at the Con-
necticut Republican convention, has
plenty OF friends in the East as we'll
as in the Middle West. He does not
hesitate to make his position clear on
issues Of the day or to attack the
Truman administration, both for its
foreign and domestic policies The Dem
ocratic administration has failed in the
postwar leadership in this country and
abroad. This, in the opinion Of Mr.
Stassen, makes it easier for the Repub-
1icans to win in the coming congress
sional and State elections.
Opponents of Mr. Stassen for the
presidential nomination have argued
that what the COP needs is q candidate
dlametrically opposed to the entire New
Deal-no matter what. They attempt
to paint Mr.. Stassen as me too can
didate-ready to adhere to some OF the
New Deal ways OF doing business. They
say that Gov. Dewey Of New York and
the late Wendell L. Willkie were "me
too" candidates in 1914 and 1910.
In his attack upon the Truman ad-
ministration Mr.. StaSsen has shown
little Of the '.me too" OF which he has
been accused. He demands . new and
fortnight national labor policy ito 1T
the needs Of modern mass-production
industry" He adds 1t will be no easy
policy to evolve, and that 1t will be nee
essary to avoid the extremes on both
sides. This will not please either the
extreme prolabor group nor the ex-
treme antilabor group. 1t should be
remembered, however, that when Mr..
Stassen was Governor of Minnesota
there was written on the statute books
OF the State series Of labor laws which
proved highly effective
An internationalist, MI Stassen never
theless has attacked the administration
because of fumbling although he
charges that the "unyielding and in
transigeance Of Russia" has been a
major cause Of the deterioration of in
ternational relations since the close of
the war. He has no use for the Com
mics" in this country, nor for the Fas-
clsts. He will be assailed from both
sides.

SociuIized Coal?

John L. Lewis is scheduled to meet
today with the coal mine owners in
an effort to agree on a contract
which would restore the mines to
private operation for the first time
since they were seized by the Gov
ernment on May %.
At stake during the negotiations
will be issues of national impor-
tance, such as the unionization of
foremen. But of far greater i'm
portance is a question which will
not be directly involved in the
negotiations-the question whether
this country is to have, in practical
effect, a socialized coal industry.
After the Government had seized
the mines, Secretary of Interior
Krug negotiated a contract with
MIR. Lewis. This was the price which
MIR. Lewis exacted for permitting his
miners to dig coal, but the contract
contained clauses which the opera
tors, or most of them, are not willing
to accept. And since thefe Is no
reason to suppose that Mr.. Lewis will
surrender anything that the Gov
ernment contract gives him, it seems
obvious that, If the operators do not
yield, a choice must be made be-
tween continued Government opera
ton OF the mines or a. return to
private operation under conditions
certain to result in another strike.
The chances are that the Govern
ment will continue to keep legal
possession of the mines. That would
be the easiest course, but it Is also
a course which would bring a de
facto socialization of a major seq
ment OF American industry. And
1t would have been accomplished.
not through any legislative process
or as a result of some expression of
public desire, but it would come as
the end product of fumbling ma
tional labor policy which piles
expedient upon expedient until, at
last, there emerges something which
nobody intended and nobody wants.

Whittier GERMANY?
By Georqe Fieldinq Eliot

THE HAGUE.-Perhaps there could
have been no better place for the first
reading OF Secretary Byrnes' Stuttgart
speech than quiet Dutch drawing
room, after a day spent in talking with
Dutchmen of various walks Of life, from
cabinet ministers to elevator operators.
No people in Europe have better cause
for enduring hatred of the Germans
than the Dutch. Yet, they do not hate
the Germans. They dislike them in
tensely, but they have no vengeance in
their hearts. They recognize that they
must, whether they like 1t or not, con-
tinue to live alongside the Germans.
They are desperately anxious to find a
way to do so in safety; they are also
anxious to find safe and secure way
of resuming those commercial relations
with Germany on which so great pro-
portion Of their former prosperity was
founded. And, in their sensible way,
they say to the American visitor: I'VE
know the Germans rs well As most
people. Is there not some way in which
we can help to deal with them? We do
not like to be excluded from your coun-
cils on the German problem"
The truth Is we could use little help
in dealing with that German problem.
1t is becoming more and more apparent
that until something Is settled about
the future OF Germany there will be no
peace, no recovery, no hope in Europe.
Secretary Byrnes voiced something of
this feeling at Stuttgart. Behind his
words lay growing impatience at the
eternal delays and the eternal cross
purposes among the four occupying pow
ers, which have SO far prevented the
emergencies Of sensible program for
Germany. It Is Mr.. Byrnss' hope to
deal with Germany rs IN economic and,
one may presume, as . political whole.
In effect, the Secretary was saying to
the Russians: Are you going to carry
out the provisions Of the Potsdam Agree
ment or not?
II the Russians do an about-face and
really join with the western powers in
the spirit of the Potsdam agreement
or what we thought was the spirit of
that agreement-well and good There
will be occasion for cheers and con-
gratulations Ill around. A dark shadow

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

After the last war the country faced
somewhat the same situation. There
was q housing shortage and inflated
prices. The City of London went into
the housing business and we are still
paying for that headache. The munich
pal authorities have wisely kept out Of
the house building business after the
experience of Is years ago, although
helping private enterprise and CO.
operating with the Government. But
the builders are stymied by lack of ma
terials and Ottawa can alone solve that
problem. Mr.. Howe can best help by
speeding up production and by endeav-
curing to bring about industrial peace.

Viscount MONTGOMERY

Field Marshal Montgomery of
Alamein need not be told that he
Is welcome in Washington. He is
one Of the great British command
ers OF modern times who really is
known to the American people. The
beret which he customarily wears
has been familiar symbol to them
during half a dozen years of mill
tary effort In which the forces of
his country and those of the United
States have collaborated. He has
earned his fame, and no amount of
carping criticism on the part of
those who differ with him on the
details OF the operations in which
he took leading parts can alter
that fact.
But 1t would be an error to sup
pose that Viscount Montgomery was
made" by World War II. On the
contrary, he came to eminence in
the army the hard way, working up
step by step from South Africa in
1899. He was only a lieutenant
colonel at the beginning of the first
global conflict in 1914. The end of
that struggle found him a major
general. He was deputy chief of
staff in India between 1920 and
1922. Back home, he was promoted
to Adjutant General of the Forces
In 1881 and received his baton
designation in 1885. Meanwhile
from 1888, he was Chief of the
Imperial General Staff. His assign
ments between 1884 and 1s41 in
cluded: The Royal Tank Corps; the
Twentieth Burma Rifles and the
Royal Malta Artillery.
Reading this record, however
gives no adequate idea of what
viscount Montgomery really has
accomplished. His lob" frankly
has been that of dramatization. He
has done very much what a COM
petent master of ceremonies does
he has quickened, vitalized, invigor-
ated "the show when otherwise it
might have Jagged or perhaps
halted. The victories in North Africa
were proof of his genius in that
line. He played in top notch" COM
pany In the grand assault on Fortress
Europe in 1914 and held his own
with the best of his peers.
Now Viscount Montgomery essays
new task. He puts the fruits Of
his experience before the world
public. 1t is true, as he has insisted,
that the strength Of nation lies
In its national character, and it
likewise Is true that the survival
capacity of free and unregimented
