quently he corrected his testimony.
As is often the case, however, the
correction received far less attention
than the original accusation, and
the members of the renegptiation
board were amply justified in their
vigorously worded protest to the
Mead committee. One of the more
serious problems during the war was
that of obtaining the services of
competent, men for the Government.
And not the least contributing fac
tor was the fear of being subjected
to public attacks based on misinfor-
nation or, at best. nothing more
than unsupported suspicion. 1t is
unlikely that a man of Mr.. Warren's

Mr.. Warren told the Mead COM

negotiation?" To which Mr.. Warren

something like ten billion dollars

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The decision as to whether the world
will once more be plunged into war or
remain peaceful rests entirely with the
Moscow government and Its stooges in
the Balkans
The administration in Washington
sent an ultimatum to Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia when he threw the gantlet
at the Nation which supported him dur
ing the war and which has been feeding
his people since the war ended.
The word ''ultimatum" sounds harsher
than it actually is. The United States
does not contemplate anything more
than to bring the matter before the
U. N. Security Council, where Titos
sponsor, the U. S. S. r., has the veto
power.
The official statement of the Belgrade
leader in connection with the shooting
down of American planes is as far from
the truth as Tito is from being the real
representative Of the 100000 Yugo-
slavs Tito is believed in official quarters
here to have spearheaded the first step
of RuSsia's offensive against the western
nations when, from the veranda of the
royal palace at Bled, he watched the
lease-lend fighter planes shoot down
slow-moving American transports.
X \
According to reports which have not
yet been made official, it appears that
the Yugoslav airmen were tipped off
when the American planes took off
from the Vienna airdrome, which is
situated in the Russian zone. The state
ment of Tito that the Yugoslavs had
signaled from the ground for IL min
utes to the, American pilots to land
because they were violating Yugo-
slavias "air sovereignty" holds no
water. The route over Yugoslav terri
tory between Austria and Italy Is
strip only II air miles long and requires
only about six-minute fight. Conse-
quently Tito's signalers could not have
spent II minutes in ordering the pilots
to land.
Moreover, from all available accounts,
the Yugoslavs do not have enough
planes, nor is there any necessity in
time of peace to keep 24-hour air
patrol. The nearest airf1eld to Bled,
where Tito stood to watch the attack,
Is at Ljubliana, some IL miles away. 1t
is small field in mountainous re-
gion. Had the Yugoslav aviators not
been prepared to pounce on the Ameri-
can plane they would not have had
enough time-during the minute in

ereignty-to take off and give chase. All

Caution of Small Nations
Bv Ravm M0ley

An incident in Norway earlier this
year and a decision of the Danish
Parliament in July clearly show the
influence of big nations over their
small independent neighbors. In one case
there was the overshadowing of VIC
torious Russia in the other, of a de-
feated Germany.
King Haakon of Norway had invited
Winston Churchill, at the beginning of
this year, to visit Norway, and the whole
press Of the liberated country hailed
the invitation of "the architect of vic
tory" But after Churchill's speech at
Fulton, with its violent attack on Russia
and her iron curtain" policy, the Nor
wegian Secretary Of State, Lange, had
to write an embarrassed letter to
Churchill. He explained that, owing to
Norways special political and geo
graphic situation as an almost -neighbor
of Russia, the visit of the former British
Prime Minister might lead to demon
strations which might be interpreted as
an anti Russian attitude of Norway.
When knowledge of this letter leaked
out, the Norwegian Secretary OF State
certainly made a wrong move. limiting
that Norway wanted to be member
of the Paris Peace Conference and that
this might be endangered through publi-
cation of the Winston Churchill affair,
he asked the press to be silent about it.
The immediate consequence was that
the liberal opposition, IN It's weekly
paper, disclosed the steps connected
with the Churchill visit and limited that
the fear of Russian displeasure might
have been the real reason. Whereupon,
rumors of direct Russian influence
sprang up, from the North Cape to Oslo.
Secretary Lange had to deny this and
added that Mr.. Churchill "has answered
that he has full understanding for the
Norwegian Kings attitude" It was per-
haps not the greatest Of diplomacy
that Norways Secretary OF State in
volved his King in this delicate affair.
Whatever we may think about the
seriousness of this incident In which,
according to Lange's story, the Russians
had no part. 1t shows the feeling Of

Immediately after the return Of peace
Canadians could look at the strikes that
multiplied in the United States with
some astonishment We also had the
satisfaction of noting that things were
going better here than they were with
our neighbor. Unfortunately that state
Of affairs did not continue Once more
we have to observe that the world is in
divisible and that, above all. the North
American countries are conjoined, in
peace as in war If quarrels in industry
and Interruptions in labor have not yet
attained in Canada the acute stage they
have among the Americans, the situa-
ton in our country is nevertheless such
that we should be seriously disturbed by
it. The whole immense work of recon-
struction in which Canada should en-
gage its energies is retarded; production
is paralyzed; every citizen of Canada
has suffered as well as our export busi-
ness which we must above all develop
and establish on wider and permanent
base in the future.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

I continue the confidential report on
Germany coming from a German Of
interchangeable record and competence
whose position has made possible pro-
longed visits in all German occupa-
ton zones. I previously reported that
whereas hopes which started below
zero under the Russians are rising, the
far greater expectations awaited from
the British and Americans have been
dashed as conditions become not bet
ter, but worse, even in comparison with
the past winter.
To continue:
'It is, I repeat, in the western zones
an all but general belief that the
worsening food conditions are part
of a conscious design to starve the Ger
man people.
In the British zone the contraction
Of industrial activity is paralyzing all
spirit. Many industries, full of faith
and hope, had made far-reaching plans
for the future. But permission for
enterprise is rarely granted. The rea-
sons are not made clear. The Ger
mans repeatedly are assured that eco
nomic contraction is not due to bad
will but to circumstances beyond con-
troll. Most Germans do not believe
this.
IF expressions of such despairing
conviction came only from Nazis who
had predicted from the beginning that
Allied occupation would vengefully de-
stroy the people, this would be neither
astonishing nor disquieting. But alas,
such disillusioned conviction is today
held by the very people who actively
fought Nazilsm, and were convinced
that their fight was worth while be-
cause something purer, more humane
and more intelligent would replace
Naziism
"Disillusionment Is rooted even in
people who are intelligent enough to
know that the NaZi madness, ending
in defeat, could not be overcome in one
year or in many. If such people, who
during the whole regime waited in hope
for the day of its collapse, welcomed
defeat, and during the past year have
given their best, now ask themselves
whether the struggle had any sense, that
is very serious, for it means the dissipa-
ton Of every asset for vital reconstruc-
ton.
added to the overwhelming problems
in the western zones are the fugitives
from the east. Most of these have so
desperate an existence, feel themselves
so uprooted and lost. that I can well
believe the sincerity Of the old man
who said: Why do the Allies refuse us
compassionate death in a gas chamber
The fugitives feel themselves pariahs
The resident Germans, themselves des-
