hell rings to end the final round. The
question that absorbs most general at
~tention is whether, when the bell has
rung a decision will have been reach
ed.
If there is, the powers that won the
war will have met on COMMON ground
and unitedly written a peace treaty
with fairness for all nations and peo-
pies concerned.
If there is no decision it will be prov
ed that the military powers capable of
working together for victory cannot
work together in peace and separate
spheres of influence with the western
democracies arrayed against the
newly risen Soviet Union in the east
will be set up.
The New York Times puts this
pithily, saying the outcome will ode
pend almost entirely on Russia - on
whether Russia is willing to negotiate
a joint peace in good faith and with
fairness to all concerned, or whether
she is determined to continue the
policy of diplomatic attrition which she
has pursued against her allies secret
ly during the war and openly since
then"
Although the Times can loan news
print to the Daily Worker, the New
York communist paper, when its sup
ply is gone, it minces no words in
summing up the situation which the
United States must face during this
Big Four session in the Russian cap
ital. "The final testing of this policy"
says the Times, (which has already
scored such startling success against
Britain, France and other countries and
now counts on a postwar depression to
curtail Americas foreign interest as
well, is long overdue, and after nearly
two years since victory in Europe can
no longer be delayed. For that reason,
the Moscow Conference meets in a rath-
er grimmer atmosphere and with less
diplomatic fanfare than is usual on such
occasions. And it meets amid the rum
bles of American preparations to coun-
ter the Russian policy with rather
more vigor than heretofore, especially
at such strategic key points as Greece,
Turkey, Hungary, Austria and Ger
many, on which depends the survival
of the West"
Yes, there are plenty of hard blows
ahead. Strange as it may seem, the
outcome could depend to a large extent
on the helping hand the United States
extends in the Middle East.
President Truman's message TODAY
to a joint session of Congress on this
pressing issue assumes greater signifi-
canoe because of the Moscow sessions.

mildly. for the Jumping of
Catholics with Negroes and
Jews as suppressed or dis
eliminated minorities.
He inferred that rather than
a defense for Catholics one
must see today 1.-The strength
of present-day Catholicism"
that it has found favor with
the Ku Klux Khan.
BELIEVE Mr.. Daniels po-
sition, undoubtedly accepted
by many others, is incorrect
and dangerous. Europe has
given us some vital lessons in
its struggle against fascism -
and we are dealing here with
an extremely well-organized
and developing fascist trend.
Fascism will destroy the
Catholic laitY. II will destroy
thousands of the Catholic
priests. II did just that In
Spain. Austria and Poland.
But in its struggle for power,
fascism must divide the people.
SOME think that they are
not menaced by its terror, thus
separating them from other po-
litically less secure minorities
which are carefully singled out
for first victims. Where fas-
