Drifting Further Apart

The widening breach between the
Western Democracies and the Soviet
Union Is emphasized by the announce
ment that Mr.. Bevin, the British
Foreign Secretary, and M Bidault, the
French Foreign Minister, are planning
a visit to Washington for conferences
with Secretary of State Marshall next
month on European reconstruction.
If Mr.. Bevin and M. Bidault, who
are both under heavy obligations on
domestic affairs, can arrange for the
trip, the meeting will be the first
among foreign ministers of the princi-
pal Allies without the Russian Foreign
Commissar.
The chief democracies and the chief
totalitarian state are definitely drifting
apart.
1t is said in dispatch from London
that the chief problem before Mr..
Marshall, Mr.. Bevin and M. Bidault will

Although coal is the primary pur-

must be taken up when the next four

November. Mr. Molotov of Russia will
be IN attendance then.
The supposition is that while in

inc the value of nest egg. 1t has been
the effort of economists and bankers,
from the time the first defense bond
issue was sold, to impress the public
with the desirability of having fund
in reserve against the day when the
high wages of wartime would no longer
exist and the job of making ends meet
would become more and more difficult.
Because money was so loose so long, no
real nroqress was made in this direc-
tion. Bonds were cashed in with the
same sort of prodigality displayed in
general buying.
Those easy days are past, despite
the increases in wages and because OF
the consequent spiraling costs OF llv-
ing. AS one result, if the figures re-
leased by the Treasury Department
provide the index to public thinking,
the holders of savings bonds are at
last boarding these savings and increas-
ing them as they are able, the better
to meet the impact of the recession most
economists believe is inevitable in the
future.

From four sources a fair picture

at large still has but vague idea

Blame is broadly placed upon
Holland and England, by the first

Cheribon pact of last November
and by the sec md for occupying g
the country when the japanese

Savings Bonds

AS compared with the campaigns
bonds d ur ing the feverish years
Of the recent conflict, the present sales
drive for savings bonds has received
little publicity. Most newspapers of the
country announced the Treasury effort
to stimulate purchases by payroll de-
duction and bond-a-month plans but
for the most part the promotion ended
there.
Notwithstanding this, savings bond
sales have been large and what is more
important redemptions have been
smaller. A tabulation just issued by the
Treasury Department is interesting.
Comparing sales during the first half
pf 1916 and 1947, it shows the net gain
IN E. F. and G. bonds in the first six
months of this year was 81 1,465, ,O60,-
300, whereas in the same period of
1916 the gain was $709,3O6 900.
In E bonds alone the difference is
more striking. During the January
June period of 1947, the gain amounted
10 $3.50, ,435, 900. Last year, in the same
lime there was net loss of $605, 187,-

East Indian trade"
And if indeed trade is at the
lotion of the trouble, the Post
Dispatch declares: "A trelchfu.l
o. cannon fodder is not a proper
avenue to trade, ard the world IS
sick of salesmansnip by armed
force. If the Dutch want IndCne-
sia's business lei them win it on
their merits"
1t remained for the New York
Times to find a lesson that conld
be of tremendous value to other
nations which have long exploited
the resources and peoples Of the
southwest Pacific. "A new start
(in Indonesia) will have to be
r1ade," says the Tlmes,' when
the present phase of military ac-
tvity ends. The next agreement,
il would seem, will have 10 be
guaranteed by some third party,
either another nation or the Unit
co Nations Then bitterness
would not be center ed against ore
nation, as Dutch bitterness has
been centered On the British
whose troops reoccupied the coun-
try after the Japanese defeat ard
which acted as the mediatory
power in bringing the Dutch and
the republicans together. -
Whereupon the Times turns to
colonization and colonials, add ng:
THE hour is growing late. how
ever, for peaceful resolution of
the problem of coiGnialism in that
part of the world, The three colon
ial powers OF Southeast Asia-Br;t-
eln, France and the Netherlands
do not have the money o. the
arms to impose colonialism where
!. is not wanted. All three were
exhausted at nome by the wsr
against Germany. None of the
three has either the men, the
money or the arms to carry on a
prolonged colonial war withcu, the
help of the United States. Britain
has not even attempted to. She
has given India ard Burma the
right to rule themselves, to de-
eide their own destiny. France
and now the Dutch. are attempt
ing to stem the tide Of national
ism that is sweeping that part of
the world.
If conditions are permitted to
deteriorate, it would not be sur
prising to see even more revolu-
tonary developments than any
that have yet occurred"
Obviously, and as a part Of the
world reorganization which was
started by World War II and is
still long way from completion,
the disturbance in Indonesia is but
a straw in the wind. Whether it
ii. dicates a tornado Or a passing
zephyr will depend on the course
taken by the leading powers.

WASHINGTON - Ihe one big
gest issue before the Congress just
closed and in the session ahead
is whether the United States must
fight another war. Everything
else is Insignificant beside that
1t is also the biggest issue on the
Presidents desk, in the S:Ste De-
partment and before the Ameri-
can people.
As Chairman Charles A. Eaton
of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee remarked. the shooting
war" may already be on. 1t is
entirely possible that World War
III has already begun - in the
border clashes in Greece in
Chinas civil war, in the Dutch
Indonesian fighting. and in the
armed truces under which Rus
sian and Allied forces face each
other across the 38th parallel in
Korea and the occupation zone
boundaries in Germany and Aus
that every country in the world
wars began over incident. and diff
ferences tar less serious than
these.
This is not a pleasant prospect.
But it needs to be faced.
There is general agreement that
when ard if war comes, 1t Will
be Russia and her satellites
against 4,le world. What the line
up would be can be guessed. But
the important consideration is
that every counry in the world
is so weakened from the last war
that it would be more of burden
to support. as an ally, than to be
oVerrun, as an enemy.
Where this war would be fought,
or how, is deoataDle. Any idea
| that the United States could drop
few bombs OF Moscow and end
the war in week is nonsense.
Even if victory could be won that
easily. ..here would remain the
problem of occupation. AS the
United States has discovered in
Germany, the reform and reor-
ganization of a conquered nation
takes longer than the defeat.
While the Axis was defeated in
the last war it is apparent only
now that nobody really won it.
The corollary to that is that no
body coulc win in the next war,
either.
Facing that gloomy prospec', it
may be said there are four ways
TO maintain the peace: Appease-
ment- giving Russia whatever she
wants on the theory that any sacri-
'flce is cheaper tnan war; impos-

Foreign Policy Outlook

ing the vii of the United States
on Soviet Russia - by economic
force if necessary; by dividing the
world into two spheres OF influ-
ence communist and non-com-
munist; or by long, exhausting
and compromise negotiations to
arrive at a satisfa ctory basis Of
cooperation in one world.
This last was the Byrnes policy.
But endless arguing did not bring
the desired results. 1t was the old
philosopher riddle of the immov-
able object-Russia - meeting the
irresistible force - the United
States. That led to the Marshall
plan,~ which, at the present mo-
ment, seems beaded toward the
creation Of two worlds instead Of
one. This is the third of the
alternative policies listed above.
The question is whether this is a
step towards peace or war.
While it is the President and his
Secretary of State who tradition
ally make American foreign poll
cy, it is the Congress which must
give 1t authority, finance it. rati-
fy it. 1t is still bipartisan poll
Icy. But the record of the Con-
gress just closed has been halting-
ly but definitely toward the crea-
ton of two worlds.

ization now being discussed at
Geneva, nor for the reciprocal
trade program intended to free
commerce from artificial bar

build new barriers.

The real showdown test on the

That will be i'll the next session
of Congress, after the Western
European nations make known
their needs as follow-up to the
Paris Conference.

minded and reaey for a showdown
with Soviet Russia. it has shown
no great inclination to back up
such ioteign policy with mill
tary support. A look at that side
OF the matter will be taken in the

Negro Division
Community Chest
Drive Goes Over
Top
TOTAL MORE THAN
$4,000 GOAL

Rev. A. L. Rice, Pastor of Mt.
Helm Baptist Church, rounding
out his third consecutive year as
Chairman of the Negro Division
of the local Community Chest
Campaign announced early this
week that the Negro Division had
gone over the top in raising some
thing more than $6,034 to top it's
goal of $4,000.
In commenting on the success
of the drive Chairman Rice said
that he wanted it mad crysta
clear to everyone that the success
of the drive represented the COM
bined work and cooperation Of
churches, civic groups, organiza-
tions, and individuals, and no one
person could claim any unusual
credit. He said that more than
anything else, the success of the
drive was a credit to the Negro
Citizens of the city because it was
tangible evidence of their growing
appreciation for, and willingness
bear their share of community
responsibility.
During the three years which
Rev. Rice has served as Chairman
of the Negro Division the goal
has been raised from $4,000 to
$4,000 and each year the goal has
not only been realized but ex-
ceeded.
The chairman said that if any
special praise were to be given, it
would go the special gifts division
