The firm attitude adopted by Secre-
tary of State Byrnes, supported to "the
hilt" by President Truman, at the
United Nations Security Council meet
ing in New York has alarmed num-
Der Of prominent Americans inside and
outside the Government.
These people, men and women alike,
believe the administration has reversed
It's appeasement policies too "brutally,"
and in doing so we are accepting
grave risk of annoying the U. S. S. r.
The sequel to the reversal, they say,
may render the Soviet suspicious" OF
the U. N. There are still many persons
who are convinced that Russia's atti-
tude in the four years she has been our
war associate was dictated by consid-
erations Of self preservation, security
and suspicion against the English
speaking nations which in the past have

ton in Western Europe and Asia.
Every thinking individual must real
ize that after the destructive war we
have just fought we must be prepared
to face thorough economic and social
change throughout the world.
Such change has occurred after
every catastrophe conflict such as the
fall of the Roman Empire, the Thirty
Years War, the Napoleonic Wars and
after the First World War. The eco
nomic and social changes brought
about are, however, characteristic of
each individual nation.
Justice for Small Nations Aim.
It would be foolish for any one to
imagine that after the havoc created
by historys bloodiest and most de-
structive war the world would return
to the good old days"
The U. NJ, which was created by
peace-loving nations, is not expected to
resemble the reactionary outfit which
was organized by the Vienna Congress

spirit of the San Francisco Charter is
freedom, justice and the right of all
nations, regardless of size, to live as
independent sovereign states.
And it is this {ymmanetal principle
which the Soviet leaders are challeng-
ing at this time.
Under the guise of wanting private
security, the Soviet government has
wrenched from the Washington and
London administrations the right to
create friendly administrations" in all
the countries at the borders of the
U. S. S. r. These borders were con-

Conferences to extend from Finland to

The President of Poland is Boleslav
Beirut. This is not his real name. A
birth he had the name of Krasnodebski
Beirut is contraction of the first sylla
bles of two party pseudonyms he uset
at different times: "B1Ernacki" an,
"RUTkowski" The President of the Pc
lish republic has been Soviet citizel
since 1923 and as Comintern oficia
he has lived in Moscow, Vienna ant
Prague where he was entrusted with
number of delicate missions" by hi
Comintern superiors.
His indoctrination, not so much to tn
Communist ideals, but to the principl
of Russia's expansion, is beyond doubt
He belonged to none of the underground
movements which took great risks il
fighting the Germans and endured Sc
we're hardships. He fought the war from
Moscow and went to Poland in the wax
of the Red armies.
The next important man in the Polisl
government is Hilary Mine, the Min
lister of Industry. He has been Rus
sian citizen only since 1928, when h
left Poland and became professor Q
economics at different Soviet univer
sites. He is equally well-indoctrinate
and has hastened to nationalize the Po
lish industries, banks, ETC., in accord
ance with the Moscow wishes.

Another Russian citizen is the vic
minister of foreign affairs, Zygmun
Modzelewski-whose real name is sal,
to be Fischaut. For more than 10 year
he was assistant to the chief of tn
Soviet Purchasing Commission in Paris
where, besides his official role, he ais
helped organize the French Communis
party.
