Is Soviet Policy Realistic?

It often sad in explanation extenuation of Soviet government policies, that the Russians realstsprae tca politicians who know what they and go after it without too much diplomatic subtety.
 Recently there have been few dissenting opinions. Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times, for one brought from Russia the impression that Soviet leaders confused and uncertain due to onesded education and lack of KnoWiedge of the outside world This view would seem to be strengthened by Andre Gromyko elaboration of Russas previously stated position the question of atomic energy control.
 If Russia instead of the United States were sole posses of proven workable atomic bomb the Soviet position might be considered realistic ruthless. If Russia has intended to attempt production of atomic bombs which to be doubted from statements by Mr. Stan and MT Mootovths attitude could be ascred to an mrabe trust sister nations exhibited by the Soviet Union up to
 But the first hypothesis is untrue and the second unlikely the present Russian plan appears surprisingly realistic Let us look at Mr. Gromykos arguments from the viewpoint of which has not progressed as far In atomic development the United States which professes to despise the blackmail and atomic diplomacy of Amer lcan policy and to fear the warmongerng of reaconay circles in America.
 Russia wants control of atomic energy kept in the Se curty Council not vested in independent international agency But in any event the veto power must remain. Russia admits that Security Council action might be sary to prevent atomic violations but the same time she wants an arrangement whereby of the big powers could block such action by the veto
 Russia would have the individual signaories to treaty of atomic control enact their own severe punish ments against treaty violations. Atomic development how ee ls sucl vast expensive proposition that only ernment could finance it. Hence government would not ony know of violations but would order them It is naive to suppose that government under such circumstances would severely punish" itself.
 Russia opposes international inspection of atomic in stalatons as violation of national sovereignty Thus great power bent atomic would have vet another safe guard durng It's preparation In short the Russian plan would give all the breaks "war-mongering. America which already has the bomb while the American Bareh plan wound seem to offer Russia better protection under present circumstances.
 This is cod-booded reasoning which fortunately does not conform to official policy But it seems that if Rus sian leaders are realistic advertised as nmica  are the above line of reasoning would be more in char acter.

POtSdam to Peace, Cont.

WASHINGTON Aug. g. (NEA) - Preparations settlements have caused more squabblng among the Big Four powers than has almost any other subject covered Of the Potsdam agreement. If anything the powers are farther apart this issue today than they were year ago. when the Potsdam papers were signed It may take special meeting of the Council o1 Foreign Ministers another meeting of the heads of the four governments to bring order out ot the present separations mess.
 Part of the trouble from the Russian seizure Of what they call war"booty"-the spells of war which conqueror can take from defeated nation without any accounting. The word booty" does not occur In the Potsdam Communque, however, and It has been impossible to get from the Russian government satisfactory definition of what consti- tutes booty and what constitutes reparations
 What the Potsdam declaration did provide was that reparation claims of the U S.. Britain France, the Netherlands and other western countries would be taken from the western zones of occupied Ger many and from appropriate" German assets held Tn foreign countries. Appropriate" apparently any such assets they could lay their hands on.
 Russian separations claims were to be met from the eastern zone of occupied Germany and from any appropriate German assets the Russians could lay their hands on in eastern Europe plus fourth ol Gernanys industrial capital equipment in the western zones This capital equipment was to be drawn from factory equipment not needed to main tain Germany's domestic economy
 Sixty percent of these western zone reparation. handed over to Russia were to be interchanged fol an equivalent value of food coal lumber oil ant similar raw materials taken from the eastern zon, aii uoVli iouteo ailolls tle western zones. The re malnng 40 percent of the western-zone surplus fac tories was to be turned to the Russians free an without payment of any kind.
 The Potsdam agreement declared that the amour of equipment to be removed from the western zon, and given to Russia should be determined within & months. The deadline for that was therefore, la March 9 The deadline not met and it stl hasn't been met.
 Potsdsm further provided that delivery of we- ern-zone industrial-equipment reparations to Rusa should begin at once and be completed by March2 1948. Russian deliveries of food and raw materiasto the western zones were to be completed by Ma,h 1851.
 Most of these provisions now appear to be dad

| PARIS-(By Wireless)-Perhaps it has ceased to be news but, it can't be emphasized too often that this so-called Peace Conference is actually choosing up of sides for another unless something vital and electrfying in the way of diplomacy steps ill to prevent it.
 Events are moving with terrific speed while this conference moves with humdrum slowness. In the Russian Zone of Germany, twelve factories pour ing out munitions for the Red Army. In Czechoso- vakia, 100000 have been appropriated for muni- tions-all of a standard type, interchangeable with either the Czech the Red army. Yugoslavia and Poland also are pouring out standardized Russian arms.
 Meanwhile this Peace Conference talks sonorous- y, piously of procedure and precedents Meanwhile also, the sides chosen-the lineup, unless heroic measures head it off-for the next war; The lineup of Russian satellites never varies In all the conference voting, from San Francisco through the United Nations Assembly in New York to Paris today Russia'S Stooges only once voted against their masters in the Krenlin That when Belorssia got it's signals crossed Russia abso
 utely sure of the following votes on every rocall come hell or high water: Belorussia, the Ukraine Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. Sometimes also Russia swings the vote of defenseless Norway worried sick over its easy striking distance from the Red Army.
 The lineup on the other side varies It is signfi cant that the British Dornnions frequently desert England. This proves there's real Democracy in the British Empire. Australia and New Zealand votes more than half the time against England; Canada about fifty-fifty. South Africa and India are ire quently aligned with England though not always
 The most fortnight leaders of the anti-Soviet bloc are Australia the Netherlands, Brazil and Bel gium.
 Note-The most pathetic satellite in the Soviet lineup is Jan Masaryk of Czechoslovaka now nick named The Prisoner of zenda' Son of old Pres- dent Tomas Masaryk, who founded the Czeehoslovak Republic in Pittsburgh in 1918 under the godfather ship of Woodrow Wilson, Jan Masaryk's sympathies are all with the United States and Britain But with his country solidly surrounded by Russia he votes consistently with the Russian boc

that the university still has consid- erable opportunity open at this university branch. There is some uncertainty as to the exact number that can be accommodated, depend ing on ability to provide enough educational staff and equipment in the short time before school opens. At present registration is open to men only.
 President Albert N. Jorgensen ex- plains that applications will be ac- cepted for the present only from veterans who are residents of Con- nectieut and who can qualify under the GI Bill and who meet normal college entrance requirements. It may be possible that soon also some male civilian students from the New London area may be accepted if facilities warrant.
 A complete freshman and soph- omore program is to be offered at Fort Trumbull. The courses will parallel those offered at Storrs and at the Hartford and Waterbury branches of the university. Degrees will be offered in engineering, busi- ness administration, agriculture and arts and sciences, following comple- tion of the requirements at Storrs. Competitive sports are to be organ ized for the students at the Trum- bull branch.

UNITED CHURCH VOICE
(Hartford Tilnes)

Protestant leaders from eight na- tions, meeting at Cambridge, Eng land, have placed themselves on record as favoring the assertion of a united voice of Christendom in support of world peace. Specif1cal- ly, they expressed desire to CO., operate with the Catholic Church in this matter
 In this way they seek under standing at the highest level pre- Sumably between the World Coun- ell of Churches and the Vatican" The statement can be little more than a wish in it's first utteranee but it embodieS aspirations that could be of inestimable service in behalf of world peace if it could somehow become inplemented in the considerations of statesmen and other men of power and influence who play a large part in designing the plans of international life.
 It needs to be recognized, of SOt4oS, liletO GiOGcSUdlll 16dQtIS, IlI1- like Catholic prelates, can not speak with authority. In most Protestant groups, broad policies or principles can be carried out only if they have been referred back to the members of the congregations and have received approval at that level. That is the democratic pro- cedure of Professionalism as opposed to the system of hierachry in the Catholic Church. These differences need to be recognized in assessing announcements by top-level lead CTS. *
 Of the underlying purpose that all Christendom should speak as with one voice for peace, there can be only praise and mankind's fer vent hope that it will make itself heard and felt in the counselS of war and peace. The world is in desperate need for such an influ- ence which is above economic, po- litical and even religious partisan ship.

tiers, but the progress to date may be summed in over-simplified form about like this:
 The March deadine for determining how much urplus industrial equipment could be turned over to Ier1nany couldn't be met because the Control Coun- Il in Berlin didn't reach agreement on what Ger nany's living standard and economic level was to oe until late in May.
 The Americans and British tried to carry out the equations agreement. Some 140 German plants in the U S. zone have been eacmarked for delivery to HuSSla. About 40 have been delivered But now de- livery mas been stopped from all the western zones
 This has been done for two reasons First be- cause Russia hasn't been delivering any raw materials from the eastern zone to the western zones in ex- change for these capital goods Second, because the o S IS now considering stoppage of further deliver. 1es to make up for booty" taken out of Manchuria by the Russians
 It has been impossible to cary out the Potsdam separations agreement because three basic aEsump- tons of the entire postwar settlement have not been realized.
 The first assumption that the territory of western preWar Germany would remain intact in any consideration of reparations division France baked at that What France wanted first was that the entire industrial Ruhr Valley territory be award ed to her. without any of it's industries being removed reparations
 To date no separations payments s>eve been made tc Russia from the French zone. None will be made until the Ruhr-Rhneland boundary is determined
 The second assumption that all of Germany would De considered as an economic unit, with free flow of goods between and revenues from the sale of all Germany exports between zones and revenues from the sale of all German exports being used to pay for needed imports. Until the recent US-Brtsh efforts to operate their two zones as economic unit, there has been practically nothing done along this line
 The third assumption was that all separations would be taken out of capital assets and not out of new production. The Russians and the French have been taking separations out of current production.
 If the Russians collect the 10 billion dollars worth of German separations they want, it may take 50 years to complete payments This may be one reason Russia doesn't want to build up central German government and sign German peace treaty now.
