which is necessary in the type of war
fare which can be developed in Eastern
Anatolia.
At the same time, disquieting reports
are being received from France 1t was
generally believed in informed quarters
here that Communist revolution could
be expected in that country this sum-
mer. According to the most recent re-
ports from Paris-some Of them only "a
hours old-there are strong indications
that Maurice Thorez, Moscow's trusted
man, has decided to advance the zero
hour by several months and may
attempt coup d'etat by the end of this
month.
Moscow's decision to send 400, 900 tons
OF wheat to the hungry French popula-
ton 'at Thorez's request" is meant to
strengthen the Communist leaders
hand with the French masses It is
also intended to show the French people
that while the "decadent democracies"
are haggling and discussing way and
means Of helping the starving Euro
peans, the efficient Communist methods
can perform such an operation immedi-
ately.
The belief that the Russians are max
ing this gesture merely to advance their
aims In France is strengthened by the
fact that Russia Is claiming that she is
In need of assistance and the UNRRA
has agreed to send large quantities of
food to the Ukraine and Bielo-Russia,
while Moscow is sending wheat to the
French from its evidently abundant
stockpile
The reports from Paris now indicate
that Thorez intends to synchronize
popular revolution" against the pres
ent weak French government with other
militant Soviet moves in the Near and
Middle East. Such move would have
serious repercussions throughout West
ern Europe and particularly in Spain
and Portugal. In other words, a Com
munist uprising in France would inevi-
tally plunge the whole of Europe into
complete chaos.

Obstacles to Peace
By George Fielding Eliot

fThis is the first OF series OF
three articles on American foreign
policy.)
THE OBSTACLES TO PEACE-I.
We have won the war, but we are in
danger Of throwing 6way our victory.
The peoples Of the world are con-
fused, disappointed and\ frightened. In
large part they are also miserable.
These were not the promises of VIC
tory. We thought that victory would
bring us q better world. We thought
that victory would bring us peace and
hope. 1t has brought us only fear and
suffering.
1t was not for this sort of world that
we fought and sacrificed to win VIC
tory. It was not for this sort of world
that we created and ratified the char
ter Of the United Nations.
What we fought for, what we sought
to bring about, was union of peoples,
union of all mankind to enjoy to-
gether the bountiful fruits of the earth
which we inhabit. So far this hope has
not been realized
No people bears greater responsible
ity for the present state of affairs than
we, the people of the United States;
not because of what we have done,
but of what we have not done. 1t is
doing that is required of us, because
the need is so great and because we
have SO great proportion of the power
available in the world to meet that
need. When we let that power lie idle,
when we are unwilling to use it or too
Indifferent to use it effectively or too
ignorant to use it wisely, the world suf-
fers and the hopes born of victory dis
integrate into chaos of phantoms.
M 4
This is responsibility which belongs
to the citizens Of this Nation; it is unjust,
1t Is almost cowerdly and dishonest to
seek to cast the blame upon the Presi-
dent, or upon the Secretary of State, or
upon Congress. They are the servants
of the people. They are not the masters
of the people. It may be fairly said
that their duty is to lead, and that they
have spoken, like a biblical trumpet,
with but an uncertain voice. Yet we
should remember in so saying, that
these men are the creatures Of political
system which conStrains them to
upon then-or seems to force upon them
the seeking Of compromises with
reality.
If. therefore, an American is to write.
in these troubled days, Of the obstacles
to peace, he will do well to admit, at
the outset, that the chief OF these
obstacles is In his own land-the failure
Of the people of this country to make
up their minds. Not only as to what
they want Ia this world, but also - to

Herald of Sprino

On a blustery sunny day in March
when tree tops are thrashing in the
wind and the countryside is a
camouflage pattern Of bare brown
spots there comes suddenly from
the old orchard behind the barn q
quavering lovely carol OF music. The
countryman lifts his head and
pauses a moment from the task OF
splitting wood. 1.-THE bluebirds are
back" he says to himself. Spring
Is here again"
There is something poignantly
appealing about the bluebird's song.
1t Is sweet, high-pitched aria,
tender and sentimental. The robins
song is robust and a bit on the
challenging side, but the bluebird's
Is soft and almost plaintive. There
are many who think the bluebird is
one OF the most attractive Of the
countryside. The male has a beauti-
full reddish-brown breast that ends
in irregular streaks on his under
body. His upper parts including
the wings and tail are a deep vivid
ultramarine blue. His mate is more
demurely dressed. Her breast is
dun, and her upper cloak a steelish
gray-blue.
For a short period now while
spring finishes her conquest of
winter the bluebirds will sing from
dawn to dusk. They light for a few
minutes in the old naples in the
farmyard and pour forth their
carols. Occasionally they perch on
the fence posts by the garden. And
at each stopping place they render
a concert. Soon they will start
house hunting and find a spot in a
hollow limb or tree trunk, or perhaps
in birdhouse the countryman has
made in the farm shop. But now
for an interlude their sweet warbling
song fills the March days. They are
the heralds of spring.

lronicul Reflections

1
Ing the nomination of Edwin w.
Pauley as Undersecretary of the
Navy at the request of the nominee
said that he could not take this
step without "ironical reflections. F"
He did not enumerate the reflec-
lions to which he referred, but there
can be no doubt that the Pauley
episode affords ample basis for re-
lection, ironical or otherwise.
The nomination was withdrawn
with reluctance after it had become
evident that the Senate would not
confirm Mr.. Pauley. Yet it may be
doubted that presidential selec-
ton for what was to become a cab
met post has ever been rejected on
evidence that was less conclusive or
more confusing. In withdrawing
the nomination, the President ex-
pressed his "full confidence" in Mr..
Pauley, and said that his "honor,
integrity, fidelity to duty and capac-
ity for public service have been
completely established" A major
ity Of the Senate Naval Affairs Com
: mittee. which could not muster
enough votes to report the nomina-
ton favorably, said that "they have
no doubt regarding his personal in
tegrity and administrative compe-
tence." Former Secretary of In
terror Ickes, who vacated his cab
met post after telling the committee
that Mr.. Pauley had said he could
raise 100000 from oil men for the
Democratic party if the Govern
ment would not press its suit claim
ing title to oil-producing tidelands,
said that he would not oppose Mr..
Pauley for any governmental posi-
ton except that in the Navy De-
partment.
The net result of this is confu-
sion compounded With the excep-
ton of the reservation noted by MIR.
1ckes, the Democrats think that MIR.
Pauley is man of integrity and
competence. And yet, although they
control the Senate, they could not
rally enough support in their own
party to confirm the Presidents
choice.
1t is obvious that this is dam
aging to the prestige Of the Presi-
dent. Although perhaps less OBJ
vious, it is nonetheless true that it
is also damaging to the prestige
throughout the world of this coun-
try This is a time in which the
peace for which millions and mil
lions OF people gave their lives is
gravely menaced. Yet for a period
of six weeks an important commit
tee Of the Senate, and to a consid-
cradle extent the entire administra-
ton, have been deeply immersed in
a controversy that is richly colored
with domestic political considera-
lions. Mr.. Pauley may have received
his just desserts, or he may be a
victim of the current hysteria" to
which he alludes. But that is some
what beside the point. A more I'M
portant consideration is that this
Nation, which should be asserting
leadership in troubled world, has
been making an unenviable spec
tacle of itself, and this is one iron
ical reflection" which should not
be overlooked.

People used to debate the rival
claims of David Garrick and Sir
Henry Irving, trying to decide who
was the best of all English actors.
Then spoke Winston Churchill and
