An Obvious imperative

Every American interested in es-
tablishing sound peace will be en-
couraged by Majority Leader Bark
ley's prediction that the Senate will
pass the Gurney bill to extend selec-
tive service until next May. AS mat
ters stand, under the temporary
emergency resolution adopted last
month. our armed forces cannot
raise the manpower they urgently
need. Senator Gurney's measure is
designed to meet that need. Unlike
the indefensible one adopted by the
House. 1t would declare no morato-
rum on inductions, nor would it
exempt teen-agers. Instead, it would
continue the draft on a realistic
basis in keeping with the conditions
that prevail in the world and not in
keeping with political expediency
related to the elections in November.
If, as Mr.. Barkley expects, the
Senate enacts this measure the re-
sponsibility will then be on the
House to decide whether America is
to have adequate power to discharge
its all-important occupation duties
and other obligations, or whether it
is to be stripped of the strength it
must have if it is to play it's proper
part in shaping the peace. When it
passed its own bill some time ago,
the House placed wishful emphasis
on the hope that enough manpower
could be raised by voluntary recruit
ment. In doing so, however, it
ignored the fact that the prospect
OF being drafted stimulates many to
volunteer and that when the pros
pect is taken away the volunteering
declines, as has already happened.
Ignored, too. was the solemn warn
ing OF such authorities as General
Eisenhower that Congress would be
gambling with the Nations security
If it failed to extend selective service
without crippling provisions.
Senate adoption of the Gurney bill
Cdil prevent tnlS gamble, assuming
that the House retreats from its own
measure and concurs. It is difficult
to see how any Congressman with
the country's interests at heart can
fail to do anything other than con-
cur. Our own long-term national
security depends on the kind of
peace we help to shape In this diff
cult and uncertain transitional
period, but we cannot help shape it
very much If we do not supply our
armed forces with enough man
power for the vital tasks involved.
Quite clearly, the prompt extension
OF the draft, without strings, with
out emasculating amendments, is an
imperative.

The Political Mill

from these reasons is the desire OF the
Democrats to hook the Republicans
into an action which they feel is not too
popular, no matter how necessary it
may be.
Some of the opponents OF the con-
tinuance of the draft act-and they are
vociferous-insist that enough men can
be obtained for the Army through VOL
untary enlistment. The truth of the
matter is that no one knows that sys-
tenn of voluntary enlistment will pro-
vide the requisite number of men. No
one can know. If the Selective Service
Act is allowed to die-and the enlist
the Army will suffer, or men already in
the service must be retained. Either
alternative is abhorrent.
The rate of enlistments is declining.
Voluntary enlistment was greatly stimu
lated after the end of hostilities when
Congress provided for short-term en-
listment. Young men. who were subject
to the draft, or about to be. preferred to
enlist rather than be drafted and SUBJ
ject to retention in the armed forces
for a much longer period. Unless the
draft act is extended, volunteering for
military service will be substantially
less than II it is extended.
*+
The House knocked from its bill ex-
tending the draft authority to take boys
18 and 10 years of age. 1t was thought
to be a popular move-with an election
coming up. 1t is not popular, however,
with the parents of young men now in
the service and who may not be de-
modified If the draft fails to bring in
the necessary number Of requirements
without the teen-agers. The manpower
reservoir has so dried up that, except
for the 18 and 10 year-old men, there
are only $4,000 to $4,000 LAS who can
be called into the Army. These are the
leftovers after the list has been combed
for physically fit men not clearly en-
titled to deferment.
The United States Army which won
the war has been demobilized since the
fighting stopped to degree that has
left it wreck. as it is. 1t still has a
huge job on its hands. But. with the
exception Of France. the Army now
planned for the United States is smaller
than any of those of our major Allies
Russia has announced plans for an army
three times the size of ours.
If the United States is to be in posi-
ton to defend itself, if it is to be potent
in the drive for peaceful world, 1t
must be militarily strong. To abolish
the Selective Service System now would
defeat both these ends.

This Changing World
By Constantine Broyn

The results OF the elections in France
and Italy do not indicate a victory of
the conservative forces in Western
Europe but reputation of the police
state totalitarianism" that exists today
in the u. S. S. r. and in the Soviet -dom-
mated countries in Eastern Europe.
In France, Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault, the head Of the Popular Re-
publican Movement party, has obtained
a decisive victory at the expense of the
Communists, headed by Maurice Thorez.
The Socialists of the elder statesman
Leon Blum suffered a serious setback
because a section of the party which
ly tied with the Communists voted
solidly for Thorez's organization.
1t is considered significant that such
men as former Premiers Daladier and
Herrlot have been elected to the Ma
tional Assembly. They were defeated
in the November election. Daladier was
prevented by force from campaigning
on his own behalf. while Herriot was
showed under by the Communist votes
in his constituency of Lyons, where for
more than quarter of a century he
had never failed to win at the polls,
regardless of the trends existing in
France at the time.
The new government, which will be
formed this week, unquestionably will
adopt an extensive program of nationali-
zation Of industries and take other i'm
portant steps to reorganize Frances
economic life
But with France on the road toward
important social reforms, it's people re-
fused to put the Communists in power.
The French are probably the most politi-
cal-minded electorate in the world
and have quickly realized the difference
between socialism and the political
state, which is the fundamental re-
quirement of communism as practiced
today.
Moscow's efforts to extend substantial
assistance to it's puppets ~ making a
spectacular announcement that 1t would
give France 100000 tons of cereals was
offset at the last minute when former
Premier Blum made arrangements in
Washington for the United States to
provide France with credit of $3.50 ,000,-
600 to cover the vital needs of his coun-
try during the next IL months. The
French people, who have learned to
Evening star., 1946-06-04

look a gift horse in the mouth, realized
that the credit from the United States
had no political implications. They are
aware that the United States is not
seeking bases, nor does it wish to place
puppets" in the French government.
In Italy the bid Of the Communists
headed by Palmiro Togliatti have
equally failed. For the first time the
world had the spectacle Of duly an
nolnted King running campaign in
favor Of the monarchistic form of gov
ernment just like any other political
leader. King Umberto had political
headquarters in most of the cities of
Italy and a registered campaign man
ager who fought an electoral battle
like the managers of all other parties.
Whether the final results will show
victory for the supporters of Umberto
or the republicans is immaterial. The
Communist party under the leadership
of Togliatti, who has spent about 20
years as an official of the Comintern in
Moscow, has been rejected by the Ital-
ian people, who refused to jump from
the frying pan into the fire-from the
Fascist to the Communist dictatorship.

due not only to the desire of the Ital-
ians to live under constitutional re-
gime which guarantees them freedom
Of speech and thought, but also is due to
the Soviet governments strong support
of Marshal Tito's claims to Istria and
Venezia Giulia, as well as Russia's de-
sire to take over some of Italy's colonies
and a major part of her fleet.
While the results of the elections in
the two Latin countries have been re-
ceived with satisfaction by the western
democracies, the question uppermost in
the minds of these governments is:
What neXt?" Will Moscow, which
controls the Communist leaders in
France and Italy body and soul, accept
defeat philosophically and bide its time
for better chance. or will it see in the
election results a danger that Western
Europe is to become stabilized to
mode of political living contrary to the
doctrine of the police state?
In the latter event, Russia's prospects
of destroying the democratic fabric In
Western Europe will decrease and the
Soviet may claim even more vociferously
that western bloc" Is being organized
against her.
Evening star., 1946-06-04

The reasons for continuance of the
Selective Service Act are unanswerable.
Nevertheless from many different
sources comes clamor against It's ex-
tension by Congress- or for its emascu-
lation.
Actual fighting has ceased-yet there
is no peace. No peace treaties have
been drafted, and none made. The
maintenance of peace, is struggling to
get on its feet. The United States is
under obligation to police Japan and
a part Of Germany. 1t has small forces
of men strung out across the world,
protecting surplus war materials that
are still awaiting disposal and main
tanning lines of communication.
The greatest obligation OF all. how
ever, is the proper preparation for the
defense of the United States should
new troubles arise.
No effort has yet been made to say
what shall be the strength, in personnel
OF the Army and the Navy, once peace
has been made. All that we have be-
fore us are the estimates Of the top
military authorities regarding the num-
ber OF men required for this interim
period. These estimates are that the
Army Of the United States shall be
l,070,0 900 men on July l, 1947, following
monthly reduction from a total of
$780, 1000 men on July this year. 1t is
the present plan to use 100000 of the
100000 in the air forces, and the
remaining $4,000 in ground and serv-
ice forces. Approximately half of the
Army would be on duty outside of
continental United States, and the
other half would be used for training
and other duties in the United States
If the Selective Service System is
allowed to die, as it will July l unless
given further life by Congress, there
is no assurance whatever that enough
men can be found to maintain the Army
at the proposed strength-unless the
men now in the service are held by the
Army, irrespective of the length of
service, combat or otherwise, they al
ready have completed.
All of this has been outlined in the
Senate by Senator Gurney of South
Dakota, Republican member of the
Military Affairs Committee, who strange
ly enough has been intrusted with
plotting the bill extending the draft
act for year although the Democrats
control the upper house Two obvious
reasons for assigning the leadership
to this South Dakota Republican are
that his heart is in it and he has the
knowledge and ability necessary. Aside

sonable." 1t was part of his job to
travel back and forth over the Soviet
terrain, listening to disputes and
Strengthening out difficulties. The
first five-year plan was one of his
responsibilities. He was expected to
"sell'' it to the people-and he did.
Joseph E. Davies, when he arrived
in Moscow on his famous mission"
in 1887, found Kalinin in the Krem-
lin, awaiting him. The president
impressed the American Ambassador
instantly as "a kind, good man and
very able in simple way" Trotsky,
in the recently republished zap
praisal' Of Stain, paints different
picture. History, perhaps a century
hence, will decide which was right.

France Rejects Communism

Although returns from the colonies
entitled to representation in the
French Parliament are not yet in,
they Will be unlikely to upset the
verdict registered by the voters in
metropolitan France. And that ver-
dict is an emphatic Endorsement for
the CentriSt party known as MRP,
winch stands for program best
expressed as Christian Socialism
combining economic changes toward
collectivization with regard for ira
dltional moral principles and the
rights and dignity of the human in
dlvldual, as contrasted with the
Communist concept of an omnipo-
tent state ruled by a dictatorial
party which suppresses all opposi-
ton and degrades the individual

ing to materialistic and atheistic
ideas.
That was the paramount issue.
recognized not only by the French
people but by Moscow, the western
democracies and the Vatican, each
OF which played its part in deter
mining the outcome. Soviet Russia
was behind the French Communist
party to the hilt, through its politi-
cal sending of food relief, the appar-
ent transmission of funds to the
Communist leaders, and the activi-
ties OF Soviet agents on French soil
which were winked at by the Com
munist members of the present coa-
lltion cabinet. Against these Soviet
propagandist efforts should be
placed Washington's granting of
large financial credits for French
national reconstruction just before
the elections, against which the
Moscow press is today Illuminating,
and the Pope's message to the
French and Italian celebrates. ure-
ing them to stem the Communist
tide. The French elections were
thus not merely of domestic signifi-
canoe; they were an outstanding
factor In the international scene.
The results show that the French
people are definitely against Com
munist domination. The trend began
to show in last months popular
reputation of the draft constitution
drawn up in the first Constituent
Assembly under Communist pres
sure. This made mandatory new
elections for second Constituent
Assembly, which have just taken
place. In the new body, the MRP
becomes the leading party, having
gained more than 100000 votes
over last time, and there is likewise
some increase in the still more con-
servative parties of the right. The
Communists gained about 100000,
while the Socialists, despite M.
Blum's prestige as having negotiated
the American loan, lost considerable
ground. This is presumably due to
the fact that the Socialists tried to
straddle on basic issues. an unwise
policy In crucial times.

Fishing

Probably the women folks will
never understand completely a
mans attitude toward fishing. Mr..
Webster's definition of FISH" as an
intransitive verb is succinct, direct
and admirably impersonal: To at
tempt to catch fish, as by angling
or drawing net. That is, of course,
the commonly accepted objective of
going fishing. But the dictionary
land nonflshers) do not understand
the vitally important by-products of
the situation.
One quickly admits the perplex-
ing angles. There are stormy days
in the off season when a man could
clean the cellar, do housekeeping
job on the garage or paint the
screens. However, a man knows that
flrst things come first, and If his
rods, reels and flies need a few
hours of dreaming attention, then
those first things must be looked
after. Certain onlookers have been
known to comment to the effect
that some men seem to get more
pleasure from their fishing when
not actually engaged in the pisca-
torial quest
The fact is that many men like
to go fishing whether they catch
many fish or not. AS wives NAV
aptly point out: Fish at several
dollars a pound is an infationary
system" But one cannot put an
economic marker on a day spent in
the open. There is no money equiv-
alent for the feel of rain on ones
lace and a wind that blows white
caps en- the pond. Inarticulate man
does not Judge the dollars and cents
OF the sound of water tumbling over
rocks or its beauty as it flows be-
tween willow-lined banks in
meadow. Fishing includes all these.
1t includes watching a new day
come to world and its close in
shadowy peace; it includes trees and
hills and the feel of hot sun. Men
who enjoy fishing find in nature
the peace that they have not yet
learned to achieve in their relation

KuIinin

The official announcement of the
death of Mikhail Kalinin indicated
the intention of the Soviet govern
ment to assure remembrance of his
services to "the Socialist state" It
referred to him as having dedicated
"his entire conscious life to the
struggle for the cause of the workers
for the victory of communism" and
declared him to be IAN example" of
deepest devotion to the mother
land" His endeavors, it insisted,
will be an inspiration to all Com
munists" for "selfless work in the
name of the further consolidation"
of the system of which he indubi-
tably was a builder.
Kalinin was born in little village
OF the Tver district, November 20,
1875. He cast his lot with the revo-
lutionaries when he was twenty
three. The Cars police arrested
him no less than sixteen times. He
was exiled to Siberia at least once.
But attempts to alter his political
opinions confirmed them. In 1912
he was elected a member of the
Bolshevik Central Committee. Thus
he was in position to contribute to
the overthrowing of the imperial
regime and the ousting of the
moderate provisional administration
of Kerensky. He became chairman
OF the presidium of the Supreme
Soviet of the U. S. S. R. in 1919 and
held that position until his retire.

Symbol" of "the close union" of
the small farmers with the laboring
classes. But he also was a skilled
negotiator, an exceedingly clever
manipulation of individuals and
groups whose support was wanted.
The fact that he survived changes
which eliminated the majority of
his comrades is significant. He was
frankly adaptable and expected his
contemporaries to be similarly "rea-
