If Russia Won't Play

General Lucius D. Clay intimates that
this country may propose amalgamation of
the British and American zones into an eco
nomically and politically unified Ger
many" with democratic government with
which, presumably, we could conclude
treaties of peace
This possibility rests of course, on out
come of the November Council of Foreign
Ministers meeting. If Molotov should unex-
pectedly end the stalling and conniving,
by which he has made German settle
ment impossible, the course limited by
General Clay after his visit to Washington
would be unnecessary.
The Potsdam Agreement provided that
the Big Three would sign a peace treaty
only with an Allied-approved government
of all Germany. Moscow would cry to high
heaven if we and the British, with or with
out France, went ahead. She would claim
every sort of breach of faith
Technically she would be correct But
she, herself has preached the Potsdam
Agreement, and those of all the other Big
Three meetings, 80 consistently and so fla
grantly that her protest would fall flat.
The very necessity for doing something,
such as General Clay suggests, arises out
Of Molotovs arbitrary ignoring of those un-
derstandings.
| Probably the Big Three could get togeth-
er on German government and the terms
OF treaty at any time, if we, and the
British, were prepared to agree on Soviet
puppet regime in Berlin, and to give Mos
cow free hand to loot Germany Of every
thing of value, in the guise of reparations,
while our country provides the raw mate
rials for the commodities Russia will grab.
We can't do that. Neither can we afford,
indefinitely, to support western Germany
while we quarrel with Moscow about her
free-handed looting. The only apparent al
tentative is, for the moment, to leave
Russia in possession of the eastern Reich,
at war with all Germany, while we try to
put the western areas back to work.
| Obviously, that is a very unsatisfactory
solution. 1t should be a last resort.
The time has come, however, when we are
forced 10 consider whether it is not the
only course open to us.
This situation acquires added signifi-
cance because in a relatively small, local
way, it parallels what is happening at
Lake Success.
If we are driven to an Anglo-American
side settlement with Germany, because
Russia won't play and - when she does
agree-ignores her agreements. lust so there
is increasing possibility that the nations o1
good will at Lake Success may be forced
to bypass the UN.
The UN structure would be retained
Every effort would be made to get Russia
to join up. But, until she did, the rest o1
the world would do its best to improvise
machinery to fill the gap, just as the British
and Americans may be driven to do in
Germany.

have been able, I believe, to
check effectively the military
expansion of the Soviet empire.
But we have not learned the
lesson of the second mistake.
The course of events in west
ern Europe is demonstr ating,
not conclusively perhaps but
with reasonable certainty, that
highly developed countries cam
not be captured by Communist
propaganda and infiltr alton.
They do not react to hunger,
initiation, and the paralysis of
government by turning to the
Communist party. They turn to
the right, not to the left-to the
conservatives, the reactionaries
and in the extremist agony to
fascism.
This is what happened in Eu-
rope after the first world war,
and it is happening again. We
have been greatly misled by
our professional anti Commu-
nists who did not grasp the
elementary fact that the Com
nunists are a CHIEFLY

an urban minority 49, who can
capture a modern state only if
they have an army behind them
which will crush the opposition.
A Communist party, which nev-
er enlists more than 80 per cent
of the people in Western
nation, cannot capture the state
by strikes and sabotage. It can
only paralyze the government
and disrupt the social order. But
that arouses the other 70 per
cent who are not only the great
er number but command most
Of the instruments Of social
power II the national army, the
church, the bureaucracy, the
peas ants who can withhold food
from the cities, the owners Of
industry and of the liquid
wealth of the nation.
A Communist party would
need the backing of overwhelm-
ing military force to overcome
this opposition and to liquidate
it. In western Europe that is
not happening, is not likely to
happen-I would venture to say
it cannot happen as long as
the Red Army is firmly pinned
down at the Stettin-Trieste line.
1t is now pinned down-not of
course by our ground forces in
Europe-but by our total pow
er, and the evidence we have
given that we know where and
how to use our striking forces
if the Red Army, or Tito's
army, crosses the military from.

In retrospect I think we may
say that the advance of Com.

1t was the fury OF Illustration

Chitlum Heights Unit
Protests Low FIvinq

The Chillum Heights Citizens AS
sociation last night expressed its
disapproval of pilots flying low and
stunting over the area as a means
Of "impressing their sweeties on the
ground"
Despite the fact that planes are
supposed to fly at 1000 feet over the
city, and are not supposed to pass
over residential areas, William r.
Bateman said, planes fly low and
stunt, endangering lives and prop
erty.
Mr.. Bateman told the group that
protesting to the proper authorities
would rectify the situation and as
sured the group military authorities
would give perfect cooperation in
clipping the wings" of any guilty
pilot.
Mr.. Bateman pointed out, how
ever, planes must be identified
as to their numbers, types and
branches of service to which they
belong.
Roy L. Burgess, president, referred
the matter to a committee.
The association asked its Member
ship Committee to investigate meth
DDS Of enrolling new members. Earl
Otto suggested the committee try
to find some one who would canvass
the area for members, in return for
a small percentage Of the dues COL
lected.
The group asked the Traffic
Bureau to conduct survey Of the
traffic at the intersection of Ken
nedy and North Capitol streets and
New Hampshire avenue.
The association also voted to Join
the Northeast Council of Citizens
Associations.
The meeting, conducted by Mr..
Burgess, was held in the Luther Rice
Baptist Church, 53l5 North Capitol
street.
