AMERICANS NOT BLAMELESS

In this peace conference, however, mot everything is black or white. There is some gray shading in be- .tWeen
 And in real fact, American diplo- macy during the early stages of this greatest of all diplomatic en- deavors, was just as guilty Of sa- botaging the peace as the Russians perhaps more so. I say more so, because we pride ourselves on being more advanced, more alert, more idealistic.
 Yet actually. our diplomats were just as woefully unprepared for peace as the Army and Navy were for war at Pearl Harbor. When it should have been ready for the most important peace offensive in the history of the world, the State Department was caught completely mapping.
 Congress has spent several months of intensive study to ascer- tain who was responsible for Pearl Harbor; yet no one lifted a finger to probe the equally important dis aster of our unpreparedness for peace.
 If Senators probed the files of the State Department, however, or even their own files, significant facts would come to light. Senator

Price of Peace
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 World peace can be purchased. It has price as definite and clear as the price of shirts sewing machines While we may consider the price high one certainly it is not out of when compared with the endless cost endless Yet the nations of the world loath to pay They hesitate; they dicker they procastnate looking backward instead Of toward the road ahead
 The price, say, is high. The thing must give in exchange for peace is a precious thing It is old as the human race, and has grown and evolved as civilization has grown. In manner of thinking, it is our most highly valued possession Yet to pur- chase peace, we need not give it all. But to part possession with fraction, is not easy-although the memorable processes of time have stolen crumbs from the edges of table the years have passed
 But peace be purchased True, the contract would be difficult to draw, for it must include most of the people of most of the nations of the earth Tradi on prejudice superstition, bigotry and hatred stand way of many signatures. Those must be broken, at least part before the deal be closed. Some times it seems the world is making progress in the transaction. At other times to be moving backward.
 What is the price? It is simple to tell For all that is required to end is the sacrifice by each and every nation of the world of part of it's national Sovereignty; willingness the part of every people to take suggestions orderS-from a group of other nations; a willingness to lay aside certain national plans and ambitions that plans and am- bitions of all peoples of the earth could succeed
 Such is the price we must pay for world peace. High? Yes. But best goods command best prices. Eternal friendship and brotherhood between the tions of the world if it is attained will be better than the best

PRESENCE OF LITTLE MA TIONS IMPORTANT

State Department files will also reveal interesting insight into the most important factor before the present Paris conference.-the pre- sence of little nations.
 Their attendance is one Of the most important victories achieved by Jimmie Byrnes. He had to use all his persuasive charm plus threats to pin down Russia's Molotov on a full-fledged peace conference with the little nations present.
 Yet back in 1943, State Depart ment files will show that Roosevelt and Churchill had OK'd compre- hensive plan for world peace work ed out by the then Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles calling for the participation of smaller nations. They have most to lose by war, most to win by peace, argued Welles, and usually are to be found backing the United States.
 FDR and Churchill backed Welles up but later, when Cordell Hull took his famous trip to Moscow the Welles plan was drastically amended The little nations were dropped. Perhaps this was because of Hull's antipathy for anything authored by Sumner Welles. Per haps it was Russian aversion-even then-to the smaller nations.
 But at that time, we had the dip lomatic whip hand over Russia as we never have had since. Russia needed us more than we needed her We were in a position to bar gain. MT. Hull, however, surrender ed this important point.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 This is an suspicious day for lovers, particularly for women who have once let love go by and are now offered another opportunity They have nothing to fear if they obey the dictates of their hearts.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Once more an appeal will be made to employers throughout the nation to study their personnel needs with a view to providing jobs for the blind and those otherwise physically handicapped. Many types of work can be done eff ciently and economically by such persons.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Political candidates who depend on the age-old trickery and decep- tive practices of the professional office seeker will get few ex-service mems votes The experiences of the war have made our veterans irreconcilable enemies of every recognizable form of sham and in sincerity.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 No single nation can long hold out against an international or ganization earnestly committed to world peace. Russia may never be a hospitable neighbor, but in the end she must cooperate or else. Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of health and profitable employ ment
 Children born today will be in- telligent. ambitious and generous. They will enjoy many years of in teresting and constructive activity.

WORDY CONFERENCE
 EXPECTED

Later the White House issued a public statement aimed at bringing the smaller nations back into the picture. But it was too late. Not until today, as the allies sit down at the conference table, have we been able to retrieve the ground lost by that vital mistake
 Knowing he could not bar the smaller nations indefinitely, Molo- toy has demanded that all essen- tial problems be ironed out by the Big Four in advance. The big ques- tion at Paris, therefore, is whether the small nations will now merely sign on the dotted line, or whether fighters like Australian Foreign Minister Evatt will stand up and throw parts of the proposed treaty back in Molotov's teeth. The bet ting is that lot of words will be thrown but no teeth knocked out. COPYRIGHT, BELL SYNDICATE, INC 1946)
