Dodeconese to Greece

The decision of the Foreign Min
isters' Council to award Italy's
Aegean Islands to Greece, with no
strings attached except their perma-
nent demilitarization, is as hearten-
Ing as it is unexpected. Here. at
least, is settlement which accords
with justice and equity.
Those Italian possessions are
commonly known as the Dodecanese,
meaning "The Twelve Islands" As
matter of fact, they number four
teen. The twelve refer to the group
of small islands which form the
eastern links in chain extending
clear across the Southern Aegean
Sea from the coast of Asia Minor to
that of continental Greece. In ad-
dition, there Is the relatively large
Island OF Rhodes, and the isolated
lslet OF Castellorizo (Castelrosso)
which lies far to the eastward of the
rest.
All these islands lie within sight of
or relatively close to the mainland
of Asia Minor, and it was for this
reason that when Greece gained its
freedom more than a century ago
they were left under Turkish sover-
eighty, despite the fact that they
were as Greek in blood, language
and tradition as the rest of the
Aegean Isles. The DodecaneSe passed
under Italian sovereignty as a result
Of 1taly's war on Turkey in 1911.
Greece protested vigorously at the
time, but Italian possession was con-
hrmed Mnder the Versailles settle
ment as part of Italy's reward for
having Joined in World War I
against the central powers The in
habitants of the Dodecanese were
always restive under Italian rule
and after the advent of Fascism
they were subjected to harsh meas
ureS of Inflammation. 1t was like
wise under Mussolini that the is
lands were heavily fortified and
played notable part in the control
of the Aegean which the Axis gained
after the conquest of continental
Greece and retained until the very
close of World War II.
Even the Italians seemingly were
resigned to losing these unjust spoils

This Changing World
By Constantine Byo,gn

Throughout the Eastern European
and Balkan states a wind of rebellion
is rising against Russia's domination
and her puppet governments which the
few observers familiar with the situa-
tion describe as even worse than the
underground movement in the DAYS of
Hitlerism.
The outside western world knows
little about it. The few screened"
American reporters who are permitted
to exercise their functions write little
about this Development They cannot
leave the main cities and even when
they dig up a bit of inside" info~ma-
ton the drastic censorship keeps their
dispatches from reaching their news
papers.
Yet, in spite of the iron curtain which
envelops even the diplomatic missions
of the United States and Great Britain,
our representatives in Warsaw, Buch-
Arrest and Belgrade manage to get a
glimpse of the tragic situation which
has produced bitter guerrilla warfare
throughout the satellite states.
In Poland the underground movement
received orders to dissolve soon after
the Yalta agreements, were nominally
enforced and new government replac-

lied. But it soon became evident that
the London Poles" who had agreed to
become members of the government
were mere puppets without power or
influence.
The Poles, who are known for their
fanaticlsm when their independence is
concerned, soon gathered once more into
bands fighting the secret police and
the Russian troops supporting the
Beirut puppet government. The under
ground organization is now more active
than ever. The Polish troops recruited
and organized by the government were
not able to cope with the movement
and the whole country was divided into
seven large areas in which Russian
regular troops, backed by large units of
the NKVD, took over the control
Many suspects are being arrested,
deported or executed. But since the

results.
similar situa ton exists in Bulgaria.
When the Russian troops commanded
by Marshal Toboukin entered that
country after the Nazi defeat they
were received by the masses as real
llberators. For the first time since

Letters to The Star
Some Readers Speak Their Minds

ooIhS NSdACIS opSdh HCIT 1NllldS
About Army Uniforms, Etc.
To the Editor o. The Star:
Your editor who writes the editorials
on the Doolittle report seems to lack
information on what actually is going
on in the Army. Take the matter of
uniforms. I do not believe that General
Eisenhower would need to wear star
shaped neon lights, as suggested, to stand
out in any company. I have heard that
he appeared to very good advantage in
rather distinguished company in Europe
wearing the so-called Eisenhower jacket,
which is nothing more, or less, than the
present battle jacket the authorized
uniform for all Army personnel.
I believe that most Army officers are
wearing today, and have worn since
the beginning of the war, the same
uniform as enlisted men. l know that
when I commanded battery I
bought all my clothes, from long johns
out, at Quartermaster store from the
same stocks that were issued to en-
listed men. The only difference was that
shirt and sew it on the shoulder.
The merits of of1-post saluting are
debatable, but as a practical matter.
how long has it been since you saw a
salute on the streets of Washington? To
my mind, the situation is much better
than in the early days of the war when
the MPs tried to enforce the saluting
regulation. A good soldier knows when
a salute is appropriate. The new regula-
tion is recognition of this fact.
Tell Mr.. Bergman that I am dis
appointed in him. He has seen too
much Washington gold braid He should
come to the Pentagon and see Gen.
Eisenhower in his regulation uniform.
He does not let his tie hang out like a
Marine, and he does not wear combat
boots unless he is on field duty.

Mongolia and the U. N.

The application filed by the Mon
golian Peoples Republic for mem
bership in the United Nations has
political implications far transcend
ing it's immediate significance. This
republic acquired a technically in
dependent status as the result of
the Sino-Soviet negotiations year
ago, under which the Chungking
government renounced it's claims to
sovereignty over the vast yet mainly
desert region previously known as
Outer Mongolia. In fact, Outer Mon
golia had been under Russian con-
troll even in czarist days, and this
control had become virtually abso-
Lutte with the revolution of 1924,
whereby the theocratic rule of the
Buddhist lamas was overthroWn and
replaced by a Soviet regime on the
Russian model and animated by
communism. Since then, Outer
Mongolia has been an obvious satel-
lite of the Soviet Union, its political
ties with Moscow being of the
closest, it's economy tied in with
adjacent Russian Siberia, and it's
army Russian trained and equipped
Outer Mongolia followed the Soviet
Union in declaring war on Japan
at the eleventh hour of the struggle,
and it is this participation on which
the claim to U. N. membership is
chiefly based.
How much longer the Mongolian
Peoples Republic will remain tech
nically apart from the Soviet Union
is a moot question. Within the past
year, another satellite border state,
Tannu Tuva, was summarily an
nexed to the Union. Furthermore,
some sort of state has been set up,
under Soviet inspiration, in part of
Inner Mongolia since the driving out
of the Japanese. Lastly. there is
the de facto communistic regime set
up in the Russian zone of occupa-
ton in Northern Korea. which
frankly aspires to extend itself to
the American zone and thus bring
the whole of Korea under Soviet
control. Here, then, we see chain

UNRRA and the News

In passing an appropriation
amendment to deny the use of
United States funds in UNRRA to
any nation refusing to let American
newspapermen report freely on the
distribution of relief supplies, the
House has taken an unWise but thor
oughly understandable step. Aimed
primarily at Russia, the action
makes sense to the extent that it is
the product of long series of provo
cations, and it would seem timely
and to the point if such factors as
the following did not argue strongly
against it:
First, since the basic UNRRA
agreement is international and
makes no provision for free news
reporting. the House amendment, if
finally enacted, might be construed
as a unilateral and technically un-
warranted act by the United States.
Second. although there have been
numerous stories of abuses, UNRRA
provides for impartial observation
teams to watch and report on dis
tribution methods. Third, Marshall
MacDuffie, the American head of
one of the teams operating in the
two Soviet republics most affected
by the pending appropriation, in
sists that his mission has had full
access to information and has found
the Russians cooperative. Fourth,
the two epublics-Ukrainia and
White Russia-are sorely in need of
relief. and it Is hardly conceivable
that the cause of world news free
dom can be advanced by a measure
permitting aid to them only on the
threatful condition that they be
opened completely to our newspaper
correspondents.
Because of these and similar rea-
sons, because basically it would con-
Stitute an unsound. emotional and
embittering approach to the difficult
task OF increasing the area of free
and uncensored news. the House
amendment might easily accomplish
much more harm than good, and
Congress as whole would therefore
do well to reject it. just as was the
case when the Senate blocked it last
November. That said, however, the
point is worth repeating-and it is
a point that ought not to be lost on
Russia and its satellites-that this
measure has wholly understand
able motivation and unquestionably
reflects the sentiment of a great
many Americans who are rightly
aware that they are footing about
10 per cent of UNRRA's bill and who
want their money spent honestly.
Although the UNRRA observation
teams are designed to insure hon
esty, and although the American
leader of one of the teams in Russia
has spoken reassuringly, the fact is
that the iron curtain" makes sus-
picion inevitable. and the suspicion
feeds and fattens on reports
whether exaggerated or not-of the
shoddy political manipulation of
relief in places like Yugoslavia. 1t
feeds and fattens, too on stories of
terror in the Balkans and Poland
and on such things as Communist
dominated Romania's custer of
respected correspondent like Reuben
Markham of the Christian Science
Monitor.
Considered against a background
Of this sort, the House UNRRA
amendment is not surprising. But
it is dangerous and is not the right
way to correct what Is wrong.

To the Editor of The Star:
Many thanks for your candid editorial
on current Army reforms. The Star is
to be congratulated for courageous ad-
herence to principle on this and other

One wonders how many real soldiers
will be attracted into this new Army.
In the event of Army Navy consolida-

military standards of the Navy and Ma

Dewey Perry Is
Missing In Florida

Much concern is felt in Lincolnton

nor has he been seen since that time
and it is not known whether he
reached his boat Or not.
