close relations between UNRRA and
UNO.
Mr. Bloom is already at work on the
task which has been assigned to him
by the committee. One of his first
steps was to send messages to members
of the United Nations which are not
also members of UNRRA, through their
diplomatic representatives in this coun-
try, urging them to join up and make
their contribution to the work of
.UNRRA, and explaining how they may
be elected members of the relief
organization. Messages were sent, in
this vein, to Argentina Lebanon, Saudi
Arabia and Syria
The story of Europe's children today
is not pretty one. 1t is to the relief
Of these children that UNRRA however,
has given particular attention-children
who are to be the future men and
women in many countries. Millions of
gnome-like, stunted, undernouri shed,
disease-ridden, ragged little people have
been and are being aided
Wherever UNRRA has conducted its
relief and rehabilitation programs, there
have been special feeding programs for
children, for infants and for nursing
mothers. In Italy, for example, more
than a million children are receiving
extra food every day. Greece has 600,-
600 receiving such assistance, and it is
proposed to help as many as million
and half in that war torn country
The children in Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Yugoslavia and in countries of the
Middle East, now being aided, add
hundreds of thousands more to the list
Food from those members of the
United Nations whose lands have not
been ravaged is the only thing that
can rebuild these little people-and
keep from starvation and under
nourishment millions of adults as we'll

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Establishment of the closest possible
relations between UNRRA, which is
making tremendous efforts to relieve
the hungry and distressed in the war;
devasted areas of Europe and the East,
and the United Nations is the aim of
the United Nations Committee on
UNRRA, headed by Representative
Bloom Of New York, chairman of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee and
a delegate to the General Assembly in
London last January.
Mr.. Bloom and his committee are
looking forward to the time when
UNRRA Is to wind up its work for the
suffering Millions time when there
WILL in all probability, remain many
who still suffer. In the opinion Of Mr.
Bloom and his colleagues it will become
the duty Of the United Nations to in
terest itself in this problem and to
arrange for continuing relief of some
kind and through some agency. In the
European area, the work of UNRRA is
slated to end at the close Of the present
year, and in the East, few months
later.

UNRRA, meeting recently in Atlantic
City and composed of representatives
of Canada, China, Dominican Republic,
France, Greece, New Zealand Norway,
Poland, Russia, Britain and the United

ton Of report to the United Nations

First. to communicate with those
member nations of UNRRA which have
not yet made their full contribution to
the relief organization; second, to ap-
proach those members of the United
Nations which have not yet become
members of UNRRA: third to suggest
to the UNRRA Council that its director
general be authorized to obtain in
formation regarding the progress of
those countries now receiving aid
toward economic rehabilitation. so that
this information may be available to
the United Nations; fourth, to re-
quest the director general of UNRRA
and the secretary general of the United
Nations to consult with the committee,

work which are to be submitted to

Britain's Gen. Auchinleck, Air Marshal
Tedder and Admiral Cunningham sent
their warmest thanks and congratula-
tions to Mihailovich for having slowed
down the flow Of Nazi supplies to North
Africa with his guerrilla tactics AS an
indication Of deep appreciation for his
activities, King George presented Mi
hailovich with purse" of $4,000 in
gold.
But after the Teheran Conference of
the Big Three, Mihailovich's star began
to wane. Few persons knew at the time
that the new map of the Balkans and
Eastern Europe had been blueprinted at
Teheran. Greece was marked as being
in the British zone of influence and so
was Yugoslavia. On Premier Stains
advice. Winston Churchill decided to
change the leadership of Yugoslavia
and accepted the services OF the little
known Partisan commander, Tito. The
British Prime Minister knew Tito was
Communist, but he was not concerned
over his political allegiance. He trusted
his Russian colleague, who promptly
undertook to order his henchman to
place himself under the British wing.
From that time on, Mihailovich and
his 10000 or 10000 Chetniks were de-
scribed as collaborationists and ''trai-
tors" The trickle of supplies ended.
His purchase of war materials from the
corrupt Italian generals was described
as proof of his collaboration, although it
was the British high command which
provided the Chetnik leader with the
necessary dollar and pound sterling cur
rency which Mussolini's favorites de-
manded.
Mihailovich's refusal to undertake an
offensive against the Germans when the
Allied forces were still far away from
Yugoslavia, Greece and Italy was taken
as final demonstration that King
Peters commander in chief of the home
forces" had sold out. AS a matter of
fact, he informed the British that an
offensive against the Germans would be
hopeless.
The man who went through the whole
range of adjectives from Balkan Eagle
to the "NaZi collaborationist and trail
tor" is now in the hands of his arch
enemy, the new leader of Yugoslavia
Marshal Tito. None of the governments
which only few years ago heaped
praise and honors on him can do any,
thing to save him. The life of leader,
even If he is known to the governments
Of the great powers to be an honest and
outstanding man, is of little value In the
face of political expediency.

Thinking About the Bomb
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The atomic bomb is scientific de-
velopment that has captured the imag-
nations OF many Of us. Whether the
development is to have a good or
bad effect only time can tell. If bad,
the end will be utter extinction: if
good, it may bring many blessings.
The question, who should control the
further development Of this agent?"
still Is an open one. 1t Is well that it
Is being widely discussed and debated.
Regardless of how the question is
settled, 1t seems to me that the exis-
tence of the bomb itself and its tre-
mendous power should be kept con-
stantly before the world until the
facts sink into the consciousness of
people everywhere. For it is incon-
ceivable that anyone, even of the low
est order of intelligence, can contem-
plate the potentialities of this force
without grave concern and a desire
to subject it to rigid control as a dev-
astating agency.
On the other hand, the possibilities
for good are also staggering, but wheth-
er or not mankind is prepared for them
is another question. The knowledge
that has been gained in the develop
ment of the bomb is revolutionary.
We now stand at the parting of the
ways, and time is not working for us.
We must think clearly, and we must
act decisively once our thinking has
crystallized. With this power under
control and its potentialities for evil
widely understood, the path may be
opened toward long and lasting peace
on earth. the aim of all decent people.
and for the application of the Golden
Rule which the President but recently
suggested as way, the only way, let
me add, for mankind to continue to
live respectfully on this planet.

The Council Veto

OlIlCc GIlcIc has pceu no detailed
official statement on the subject,
judgment must be reserved on re-
ports that Russia may ask the cur
rent session of the United Nations
Security Council to broaden and ex-
tend the veto power of the Big Five.
Possibly such move might have to
do merely with working out more
specific and precise definitions OF
that power, and in that case it could
be proper part of the scheduled
deliberations on matters of rules and
procedure. However, should it be
designed to whittle away the right
Of any member of the UNO to have
the Council consider and discuss
disputes, then it would seem to be
altogether out of order and deserv-
ing Of the strongest possible opposi-
ton.
This point, after all, was thor
oughly debated at the San Francisco
Conference before the adoption o.
the United Nations Charter. At that
time, it will be remembered, kind
OF angry stalemate developed be-
tween Russia on one hand and Brit
ain and the United States on the
other. The Russians were insistent
that any one Of the five permanent
members of the Council should have
the right to veto not only the inves-
tigation of dispute or such deci-
slons as to take enforcement action,
but also even discussion of the dis
pute at any stage. For their part
British and American delegations
along with those of other countries
were equally insistent that the
right should apply merely to inves-
tigatory steps and similar active
measures. It was not until Premier
Stain himself intervened that the
stalemate was broken, with the So
Wet representatives yielding ground
and Joining in Big Five statement
making clear that under the veto
rule mo individual member OF the
Council can alone prevent considera-
ton and discussion" of any case
brought forward by a member of
the UNO.
The reason for this is self-evident.
II the veto power could be used by
China, France, Britain, Russia or the
United States to block discussion at
any stage, the smaller countries of
the world could be deprived of the
right even to air their grievances in
an effort to see justice done In mat
ters affecting not their own vital
interests alone but international
security and peace as we'll. Such q
Limitation, mocking the basic prin-
ciples of the United Nations Charter.
could easily put killing blight on
the whole UNO. This is so obvious
that it Is difficult to believe that the
Russians-who conceded the point
at San Francisco-are planning to
raise the issue again before the
Council members now meeting In
New York. Certainly, if that is what
they really have in mind, it is hardly
conceivable that they will get far
with 1t.

Busic English in Science

AT one time or another in his
career, every college student must
nave wished for simpliflcation of
the language of textbooks. The
Scientific Monthly for March con-
tains discussion of the whole theme
by Professor Tom Burns Haber of
Ohio State University, beginning
with quotation from q letter
written by freshman who COM
planned that her difficulties with
botany traced back not to a funda-
mental lack of interest on her own
part but rather to a maze" of
highly technical words through
which she was obliged to struggle
in an effort to learn the basic details
of "organized common sense" about
plant life.
'"Too many college texts in science"
declares Professor Haber, "are bur
dened with an unnecessarily heavy
style" Where essential scientific
terminology really makes for econ
omy" by saving the students time
and effort over long and tedious
definitions, he agrees. that it is
defensible. But not infrequently the
authors OF required books seem to
believe that unless they write in
the manner of Herbert Spencers
definition of evolution, they cannot
impress their readers with the i'm
portance of their subjects, as If
what is stated simply cannot be
worth learning"
Professor Haber illustrates the
attitude of some scientific author
tiles by citing the case of colleague
who customarily opened his lectures
each quarter with the frank warn
ing: Il do not intend to make clear
to you in twelve weeks what it took
me fifty years to learn" Such in
structors are capable of saying: "The
apperception of self-motivation is a
psychological fact (and) a con-
comitant phenomenon is the con-
sciousness that the origin OF this
motivation Is internal and not
external" when they actually mean
"The mind is conscious that it is
Self-moving, and at the same time
| that the motion comes from within
| itself"
The second of these quoted SEN
tences, Professor Haber explains, is
written in basic English-a simpli-
fed style which he thinks "ought
to have an especial appeal to scien-
tific writer's because its discovery
was analogous to the procedure OF
the scientist seeking basic principles
in the natural world" Particularly
when it is remembered that "the
great impetus felt by scientific re-
search during the past five years
will continue and accelerate" a
reasonable endeavor first to think
clearly and then to write simply
would seem to be a vital need not
for young students merely but fol
ordinary newspaper readers and
radio listeners. A scientific jargon
by its very nature must be unpopular

Steady Is the Word
By Georqe FieIdine Eliot

Iranian Government as the latter NAV
see At? Or have they wrtlng a promise
of recognition Of this regime from Mr..
Qavam in terms which actually amount
to forcible dismemberment of the Iran
ian state? And what of the Russian
demands for oil concessions in Northern
Iran, and the terms of these conces-
sions? There is room here for bargain
ing, certainly-but let us not be too
ready to assume that a conditional
Russian promise to evacuate "if nothing
unforeseen occurs is really anything
more than an attempt to get by indi-
rect methods the postponement of the
Security Council hearing which the Rus
slams have been unable to obtain by
direct application to the Council.
A wise man who knows much of
Russia said to me the other day: Let
us be careful that we don't get another
one of these 80 and 10 deals where the
Russians, after soaring us all into
spasms, make sudden parade of mod
Grafton in offering to give up about 10
per cent of their original demands, and
we are so relieved and happy that We
let them get away with the other 80
per cent"
For example: There are strong hints
in the reports from Washington that
the Russians are about to ask for a
change in the rules of the whole game:
That the effect of the change which
they propose would prevent any of the
big five from ever, without its consent
being hailed before the Security Coun-
Gil as party to q dispute. This re-
fleets the Russian annoyance at being
consistently voted down every time they
have become involved in serious in
ternational argument. The matter of
face" is involved. The Russians place
great stress, and always have, on the
fact that the United Nations Charter
is so constituted as to require unanimity
of the great powers in order to make
it work. But in applying this principle,
their constant tendency has been to
assume that a great power, and especi-
ally the U. S. S. R., must be above the
the law and they cannot understand
why this assumption so outrages the
sense of justice of the American and
British peoples.
So steady is the word. Things look a
little better; the air Is clearer. Good.
But let u not assume too much.
(Copyright, 1e<6.)
Evening star., 1946-03-26

Steady Is the word.
Steady-no wide swings between black
pessimism and rosy optimism. The citi-
zen must learn to be steady as we'll as
the statesman. So much depends on the
citizen today-especially in this country,
which has so much power, so much re-
sponsibility, and where the citizen is
sovereign.
There is a tendency to optimism in
the headlines. To some extent it is JUS
titled Premier Stains words of sup
port for the United Nations have eased
the tension.
Other favorable developments have
helped in this.
The Russians are evacuating the
Danish island of Bornholm. They are
further reducing the Red Army by the
rehabilitation of a number of classes
of men, though we do not know how
far this may be offset by the calling up
OF younger men who have not yet seen
combat; certainly good many of these
have recently been embodied in the Red
Army. The trend of these events is en-
couraging, however
+
Then there is the announcement from
Chungking that the Russians have
agreed to complete the evacuation of
Manchuria by April 80. This is hopeful,
too, as far as it goes; if the evacuation
is carried out on schedule, and if it is
accompanied by the completion of ar
rangements in Korea which will permit
unified administration of that coun-
try, it will be still more encouraging.
Finally we hear from the Moscow
radio that following an agreement with
the Iranian government" the Russians
are beginning complete evacuation of
Soviet troops from Iran" and expect to
finish the evacuation within five to
six weeks if nothing unforeseen should
take place." Despite some uncertainty
in Teheran dispatches, this looks at
first glance as though a direct agree
ment had been reached between the
Iranian Prime Minister, Mr.. Ahmad
Qavam, and the new Russian Anbassa-
dor to Teheran, Mr.. Sadchikov. There
has been evidence of strong pressure to
get such an agreement in time to pre-
vent the airing of the Russo-Iranian
dispute before the Security Council
But some questions remain unanswered
Are the Russians leaving the so-called
autonomous" regime in the Province
Of Azerbaijan to be dealt with BY the
