channels. But the pattern of the
Anglo American partnership is
far less important than the fact
of the e partnerships existence.
What matters is that in the field
of strategy, Britain and the Unit
ed States are collaborating with
the closest intimacy.
International good will is, on
the whole, an extremely rare
emotion amoung soldiers, sailors
and airmen of any nation. Ger

soldiers and sailors and airmen

The Big Four

The Big Four conferences that have both
entertained and frightened US, clearly DEM
onstrate the futility of unanimous govern
ment, unanimous in that if one of the four
disagrees the remaining three might as
well 60 home.
That is what is happening in London.
That is what happened in the United
Nations. Russia said no and thus prevented
the majority from carrying on.
So, instead of majority of the nations
planning for the future, they, by their very
participation in such set-up, make it pos
sible for one nation-Russia in this in
stance-to rule the world without having
to do battle to do so.
Russia controlled the situation during the
United Nations meetings here. Russia is

in accord with the other known
facts about the military-stra-
tegic aspect of the Anglo-Ameri-
can relationship. AS to this
there is no need to speculate.
It can be stated on tn ehighest
possible authority that the war
time frankness and intimacw,
the close wartime partnership,
between British and American
strategists and planners has now
been revived in these times of
peace that is not peace.
Behind this state of affairs,
there is a curious and important
history. Not very long after VI
Day, when the British were
prime targets of the Soviets' po-
litical and propagandistic drive,
London formally proposed plac-
ing the Anglo American COM
bined chiefs of staff-the formal
link in the Aglo-American stra-
tegic partnership-on a perma-
nent peace-time basis. It was an
old idea of Winston Churchill's,
which he had both sold to the
Cabinet and discussed in public.
The Truman administration,
then bemused by the great,
phony "back to normalcy" cam
paign in the United States, re-
acted to London's overture like
a nervous sea anemone being
poked with a sharp stick.
Officially, the combined chiefs
were then only kept in being be-
cause certain areas of combined
military interest, such as Italy,
were still garrisoned by consid-
cradle Anglo American forces.
After about a year, however,
these forces were reduced ma
terially; the tareet Of the main
Soviet attack shifted to the Unit
ed States; and the British gov
ernment became alarmed by it's
own left wings constant aoita-

Gated to Washington that since
there was no desire to maintain
the combined chiefs on a per-
manent basis, the agency might
as we'll be liquidated at once.
In the interval, fortunately, the
Administr alton in Washington
learned about a few of the hard
facts of the postwar world.
Washington was Mortified by
London's n w proposal. Where
the pleading had emanted from
London the year previous, it was
now from the other end of the
cable wire that the pleading
came.
Washington's pleas were sue
cessful. The combined chiefs
again survived this new danger
in their rather Perils of Paul

An Editorial From The Rail
Rail Passenger Service
Greensboro Record

The Norfolk and Southern
Railroad Company is applying to
North Carolina and Virginia
state authorities for permission
to abandon it's passenger train
service between Raleigh and
Norfolk on the ground that such
service is being maintained at
great loss. Meanwhile the
Southern Railway System seeks
permission to curtail passenger
service between Raleigh and
Goldsboro, on the old North
Carolina Railroad. It has also
applied to Virginia authorities
eliminate passenger service be-
tween Danville and Norfolk.
This is in line with a trend
which has prevailed for the last
several years on branch line
railroads in this section of the
country. Most people are using
busses or private automobiles
for the shorter journeys. Mean
while passenger business oa

LONDON, - In tracing the de-
velopment of tn e Anglo-Ameri-
can relationship since the end of
the war, the role of Lieutenant
General Curtis E. LeMay is not
the least interesting problem to
consider. The tough, hard-faced
young general, who brandishes
a cigar like a club, now has his
headquarters in the small Ger
man city of Wiesbaden. From
Wiesbaden, although Britain in
l947 is certainly no holiday re-
sort, he makes fairly frequent
trips to London. Here is mist
cry, which must afflict the chief
Of the Soviet intelligence SER
vices like a throbbing tooth, and
should interest any one who
wishes to understand British or
American policy.
General LeMay after all, is
probably th e greatest younger
fighting leader who emerged in
the American air forces in the
second world war. He con-
tributed vitality to the tactics of
our heavy bombardment of Ger
many. He led the crushing grand
assault against Japan. He COM
manded the Goth Air Force when
the bombs were dropped on Hi
roshima and Nagasaki. And now
he has been plucked from the
key post of director of air re-
search and set down at W,esba-
de in command of the pitifully
small American air force in Ger
many, succeeding an officer of
lesser rank. Why has this ex-
traordinary thing been done?
1t does not take very power
full mind to guess tn e answer.
General LeMay is engaged in on
the-spot tactical and strategic
planning, of the if, as and when
kind that may never bear fruit,
but is none the less essential to
preparedness. AS his trips to
London clearly indicate, he is
working fairly closely with the
British Air Staff and, one
suspects, with the imperial Cen
eral Staff as a whole. At the
same time, despite the small
ness of the forces under LeMay's
command, his mere presence in
Germany is no doubt also in

with an inclination to be too
venturesome.
There is nothing official about
the foregoing speculations, and
the conclusions are likely to be
vociterously denied Yet the bet
ting is approxim ate]y 9 to l that
these conclusions are correct.

Two Communisms

There are two types of communism in
the world today.
If one is to assume that the word-coaa-
munist-means person who subscrloes 70
the communal way Of doing things this
would not be true.
/! One Is the near-hated Red who would
destroy, tear down and deny civil rights
to others of his kind. Most of these Reds
are men and women who failed IN thelr
lifes ambitions and permitted themselves
to become engulfed in burning hate Tor
the things they were denied and for those
who managed to attain them. These are
the Reds of the vishinsky group, the Stain
group and the Trotsky faction. These are
the dangerous Reds, or communists.
If the word communist is to be taken to
mean communal, we in the United States
can teach a few communal things to the
communists of the Red variety.
Our post office is communal affair
Our police is communal affair and our
fire department, just to cite three. Com
munal in that all the people pay their
proportionate share for the upkeep n d
service of these services without regard
or consideration to which gains the most.
All help support the fire department. Yet
few need it or ever will. That's communal
It's a system inaugurated by the people
themselves, not thrust down their throats
Few need the aid of policeman through
life's travels, yet all contribute to the
maintenance of the department. That's
communal operation, too.
NIL :, <o hof when communist
of the Red type smoothes one along with
such comparisons as these he is doing TWO
things, trying to claim credit for our COM
munal enterprise and, secondly, trying 10
win converts to his theory.
There is a differenc. A wide gulf sepa-
rates the two.
Communism is where farmers have to
give their grain to a common bln-or else.
Communism is where a man works When

Just so long and so far. Then would come

Communal practices first saw the light
of day under the Magma Charter. The
Scots, considered the first liberals, took it
a step farther along the way. Then the
United States, with its Constitution and ui-
timately it's Bill of Rights, paved the way
for what may be the ultimate fight against
world oppression, that is to say, communal
peoples against communistic peoples.
