bassador in Washngton the Soviet permitted foreign CTS inside Russia, while the Soviet Embassy staff in Washington mingled freely with Americans. Exam bassador royanovsky for instance, was great bridge playing friend of Jesse Jones, Mrs. William E. Borah, and various other capital bigwigs.
 Today Troyanovsky is relegated to minor clerk ship in Moscow while Ltvinov is out of favor new Kremlin policy is in vogue-a policy of permitting no social intercourse between the Russian people and the western world
 If Russian officers in Germany Austria become too friendly with American officers, suddenly they are warned by the NKVD (secret police) to keep to themselves
 In Moscow the American Embassy has begged the Soviet Government to permit the extensive circulation of the State Departments propaganda magazine, "Amerika," picture book printed in Russian which is tremendously popular and has proved an eye opener to the Russian people. However the Kremlin permits only 50,Oo0 copies monthly to be seen by Russians.
 Meanwhile Moscow conducts skillful propagan- da campaign not only Russia but in Czechoslovakia and other satellite countries aimed at stirring up suspicion against the western world According to the Moscow radio the United States had no part in the war against Japan, Alaska from Russia by an American trick and ynchings and riots are staged ii the U.S.A. almost every day.
 This anti-American propaganda may have behind it sense of insecurity the part of the little group of men inside the Kremlin. But whatever its motive it is not the act of a friendly nation
 Thus our showdown with the Soviet might start exactly this pOint Are are we not Sollls to be friends? If so let's begin working at it. Let's begin by exchanging several thousand Russian and Amerl- can students by permitting the entry of books and magazines, scientists and newspapermen. Let's begin to be friends.
 That ouestion-as to whether Russia really wants friendship-ough to be asked soon. and in no uncer- tain terms by the highest officials of the American Government Furthermore, at first we should not take no for an We should be just as persistent in peace in war
 If in the end it becomes clear that Russia does not want friendship then it will be time to examine Prof Ureys suggestion that may have to unlooSe the atomic bomb advance preventative

LONDON-There is often sad contrast between the declarations of politicians when eiectioneering power.
 Prior to last years general election in Britain the Labor Party committed itself in a most complete way on the question of Palestine At party confer ence held in London in December, 1914, resolution adopted from which quote this extract:
 There surely is neither hope nor meaning in Jewish national home unless we are prepared to let the Jews if they wish, enter this tiny land in such numbers to become majority" The resolution went refer the possibility of transfers of pop ulation, and added: Let the Arabs be encouraged to out the Jews move in" Later the reso- ution observed: we shall reexamine also the possi- bility of extending the Palestine boundaries by agree ment with Egypt Syria and Trans-Jordan.''
 The Conservative Party behaved in a far more responsible fashion and refrained from giving any pledges Of so far-reaching or precise a character
 On the other hand in the United States both the Republican and Democratic parties committed themselves up to the ht in their prediction con- ventons in 1914 The Republican Party statement on Palestine called for opening Palestine to their (the Jews) unrestricted immigration and land own- erShp so that Palestine may be constituted a free democratic commonwealth"
 The Democratic Party convention used almost identical words: We favor opening Palestine for restricted Jewish immigration and colonization and such policy to result in the establishment there of a free democratic Jewish commonwealth"
 Thus, we have situation where the British Labor Party, now in power, is committed delib- crate policy of persuading the Arabs to out to make room for the Jews. And the Democratic Party which today constitutes the Government of the United States, is committed not only to unrestricted mmi- grafton but also to the establishment of Jewish state.
 Despite these pledges, neither the British Labor Government President Truman's Administration

EDITORS NOTE-This is the last of Drew Pearson's columns on the tense relations between the US.A. and the U.S.S.R. and what be done to prevent war; WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-I suspect lot of people
 are getting bored at my continued writing about
 tangled foreign relations and the fact that the Paris
 Peace Conference is doing so little to unrayel them However the unmistakable impression of the ob-
 server at Paris is that though the Russian people don't want war and though the last thing the Amer ican people want is war, both slowly edging in
 that directon-despite themselves So perhaps it is
 better to face these facts now than regret them later
 is Dr. Harold Urey famed atom scientist, who recently pointed out that the alternative to international con-
 tro of the atomic bomb is an early war by which the
 United States would secure control of the World later war which would end civilization. This column has suggested less drastic program for heading off which be summarized as follows
 1. The U.S.A. to avoid being the tail the
 British Foreign Office kite cooperating 100 percent
 with the United Nations instead and building 1t up to a position of genuine world strength 2. NO appeasement of Russian Make it clear that the first aggressive step taken by the Kremn
 will be the last. Now that the United Nations has
 been organized, there is no reason why the Russians
 should not submit their dispute with Turkey to the LIN. That's what fought this war for-to set up world organization for peace-and the Russians
 should be reminded of the fact So should the British 3. International control of the atom. The United
 states mas laKen an step COWarQ atom con-
 tro by offering to share knoWledge-provded the
 atom is governed by majority vote not the veto The Russians so far have refused
 4. Cultivate the friendship of the Russian people regardless of their government.
 Of this four point program, the most important
 of all is friendship Friendship is the chief reason there never will be a war between the British and American people. We know each other so well that We understand each others faults. Our common
 language is of the biggest aids to this understand ing.
 But because there is common language be- tween ourselves and the Russians we have to work harder friendship. So far the United States has done little; the Russians far less.
 So far the State Department has proposed news and cultural programs for Russia limited scale,
 has even made small start in this direction. But it
 has had to work in the face of reluctant Congress

 Committee and supposed to be an enlightened states man. failed to press passage during the closing days of the last Congress of the State Departments gram for exchanging students and promoting cul
 tural relations.

pension, have chosen this as the place where they will make their homes during their last days.
 American government of the Slands-under the Navy from 1917 to 1881, under the Interior Depart ment since then-has been nothing to brag about. If the islands haven't exactly been kicked around, they have been unduly neglected and exploited. All these simple, kindly people want now is just little better understanding in Washington, just little bit better standard of living, just halfway decent break in their struggle for existence
 That's where Governor Hastie comes in All the native people look to him to pass miracle and estab fish the millennium, quick For that reason, the troubles that Governor Hastie will encounter will come more from his own people, who expect too much and probably doomed to disappointment, than from the whites who expect too little.
 In whatever degree he fails, critics will probably say What else could you hope for?"; to whatever degree he succeeds it may be said See what happens when Negroes given chance
 Governor Hastie has few whites at the top to help him. Morris De Castro, who is government secre tary, is of these. Another is Walter Taylor who has been commissioner of St. Crox for years third is Roy Gordon, president of the council, who back to the island sin 1888 to form the Progressive Guide, the islands one and only political party which controls the native vote and the reform move ment calling for lower electric rates sewers, better water supply more sanitation and health price and rent control, and minimum wage of 20 cents hour
 It is such little government, but, oh so import ant to the na<ves who place such pathetic faith in it. If the great United States can't give these tiny isles decent local, native democracy, what hope there for the other islands, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific which the Army and Navy want for bases? That is the larger importance of the Virgin Islands experiment.

is attempting to carry out such policy today Even MT Truman has not asked for more than the ao- mission of 100000 Jews. And Prime Minister Attlee has made it plain that he Wll not even accept 1espoh sbility for modest entry without the full support and cooperation of the United States.
 No doubt. these election pledges on both sides Of the Atlantic were sincerely given, but the hard facts the situation compelled them to be abandoned later.
 Even President Roosevelt. less than year after he champoned policy of unrestricted Jewish mnl- grafton and the establishment of Jewish common wealth thought it necessary write letter to his great and good friend" King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia which contained the following passage:
 Your Majesty will recall that, on previous casions, communicated to you the attitude of the American Government and made clear our desire that no decision be made with respect to the basic with both Arabs and Jews. Your Majesty will also doubtless recall that, during recent conversation, I assured you that would take no action which might prove hostile to the Arab people"
 Why did President Roosevelt write this letter? Because early in 1945 his way back from the Yalta Conference, he had meeting with King 1bn Suad in Egypt and sought his collaboration to per- suade the Arab world to accept an increase in Jewish immigration into Palestine Ibn Suad flaty refused, and Roosevelt was so impressed by his obduracy that he undoubtedly revised his opinion on the Palesnan problem This proved concluSively by his letter. for no one could pretend that the Arabs would regard restricted immigration and the creation of Jewish state in Palestine anything but hostile" act.
