THE SUCKER GAME

No one knows what secret weapons
Russia has developed or is producing be-
hind her iron curtain of isolation" de-
elares Senator Joseph H. Ball, of Mime
sofa, who opposes the suggestion of Sena-
tor Pepper, of Florida, that we destroy
our stock of atomic bombs
Mr.. Ball makes a sensible comment
II Is all right to be willing to discard the
atomic bomb and to share our information
about atomic energy but, before doing so.
We should be certain that no nation, shar-
ing our generous gesture for peace. is tax
ing advantage of our sincerity of purpose
The only time to enter a conference,
in connection with disarmament or a new
world order, is when other strong, power
ful nations are willing to make contribu-
tons within their power TO the general
advancement of the world. To throw all
that we have to the four winds, without
knowing that other nations intend to do,
and will do, the same, would be to play
the sucker game.

DOMINATING FACTOR

Tomorrow is Army Day. Probably
that information is news to most of The
Citizen readers, for the Army, unlike the
Navy, Is not given TO using what may be
termed press agents. Whether at home or
IN the field, the Army performs its tasks
quietly, efficiently.
SO does the Navy perform its tasks
e1flciently. but the glamor of the sea
permeates the Navy, from its aCmirals
to It's apprentice seamen As 4 result of
that glamor, the world knows for sew
eral weeks before time that October 27
is Navy Day. And after the world is first
told OF that date, it Is reminded, day after
day. Of the preparations that are being
made to celebrate Navy Day, with its en-
tertainments, blare of trumpets and
parades.
The Army is stirred by Army Dav
JUS. as much as the Navy is by Navy Dav.
but the Army is not demonstrative: if
does no shouting from the housetops: if
is seif-eontained, assured of its power to
carry on when the time comes to carry
on.
What about atomic bombs, rocket
guns. rocket propelled planes, the marvels
OF radar. robot bombs, as they affect the
Army? You have read, time and again,
and have heard over the radio, time and
agaiasN that.sthe atomic bomb may make
the Naxy obsolete. N M
Bqt not word about the effect off
the atomic bomb an the Army why = Be

of war, are of no consequence unless there

people of the territory that has been

The tramp, tramp, tramp, of the sol
der follows in the wake of any kind of

plan too hastily prepared.
A joint commission on ap-
proaches to unity had submitted
a seven-paragraph plan to the
deputies but the body acted on
only two sections, agreeing to study
the proposal for another three
years before sending the matter
to congregations.
The commission itself was con-
tinued for the three-year period
during which it was requested to
make further research and seek
to eliminate some of the objec-
tions to the merger.
Most objections were that the
commission plan did not fulfill
requirements set forth in the Lam
beth Quadrilatera1, which in 1888
outlined a four-point credo under
which any merger of Anglican
faiths must be effected.

the reaction abroad, especially in
Moscow and among the Soviet dele
cation here.
Connally and Vandenberg issued
statements calling for unity in
American foreign policy after a
day of crisis caused by President
Truman's apparent support of Wal
lace's foreign policy line which
would repudiate Byrnes' &c e t
Tough with Russia" campaign.
Both Vandenberg and Connally
made plain they stood squarely be-
hind Byrnes.
Connally declared that. ''there is
no place in international rela-
tons either for partisan politics or
for intraparty division or personal
ambition" Vandenberg warned
fatty that the bipartisan foreign
policy was threatened and that
1--WE can only cooperate with one
Secretary of State at a time.

Vandenberg's statement was is
sued shortly before and Connally'
shortly after Mr.. Truman's an
nouncement at the White House
that he had not intended to indi-
cate a change in American foreign
policy by his endorsement of Wal
lace's speech.
Byrnes, earlier, had let 1t be
known through his aides that he
was hopping mad" about what
he regarded as a personal affront
and a complete reversal Of the
line he has been following at Paris.
Despite Mr.. Truman's statement
and those of Vandenberg and Con-
nally it was feared that American
influence in the peace deliberations
might be weakened. at least tenn
porarily, by apparent differences
in American ideas as to how to
conduct her foreign relations. (
Connally said there must be emo
division behind the lines" If Amer
lean influence is to be successful
at Paris. He strongly defended
Byrnes' line.
