Brituin and France

lance can be a development of first
Importance in the affairs of Europe.
Although the terms have yet to be
negotiated, Prime Minister Attlee's
office, has made clear that they will
deal not only with mutual military
protection against the possibility of
a resurgent Germany. but also with
economic measures to strengthen
France and encourage close COM
mercial and industrial relations be-
tween the two countries.
Since their security interests are
virtually identical and since they
have been allied in the last two great
wars, Britain and France have COM
pelling reasons to undertake this
partnership. 1t falls far short of the
outright union proposed by Prime
Minister Churchill at the time of
Dunkirk, but 1t is in keeping with
the. world as it is, especially in view
Of the advent of things like super
sonic rockets and the harnessed
atom.
Moreover, apart from its meaning
for Britain and France, the pro-
jected alliance can have much
wider significance. Thus, if it leads
to similar pacts with such countries
as Belgium, Holland and Norway, all
of Western Europe can be bolstered
to give that part of the world
which is now weak in its separate
sovereignties-a firmer position in
the balance of power between the
preponderant strength of America
on one hand and Russia on the
other. This may seem to be out of
tune with the hope that the United
Nations will one day be able to do
away with all systems of special
alliances. Yet, recognizing present
realities, the U. N. Charter itself,
under Article So, allows for regional
arrangements of this kind and it
is under that article that the British
and French propose to work out
their treaty.
How Russia will react to all this
remains to be seen. Conceivably, it
may object on the ground thai an
Anglo-French partnership will tend
to encourage the creation Of q west
ern "bloc" against the Soviet-dom-
mated east Indeed, as recently as
last June, British Foreign Secretary
Bevin declared that he had delib-
erately not pressed for such pact
lest it be misinterpreted in that way
But If the Russians take that view
of it, or if the politically powerful
French Communists resist it for that
reason, they will be forcing an ag-
gressive meaning into what is pri-
marily legitimate anti-German Sc
curity measure. Obviously, OF course,
the proposed treaty has balance-of-
power implications, but so has the
twenty-year treaty of alliance be-
tween France and Russia, and so has
the twenty-year Anglo-Soviet pact
Of mutual assistance-a pact which
Mr.. Bevin has offered to extend to
fifty years but which the Moscow
press significantly enough has just
begun to belittle.
Certainly, If there is Russian
French alliance and Russian-B
ish mutual assistance pact, a good
argument cannot be raised against
the idea of Britain and France get
ting together with each other. Moth
ing in the United Nations Charter
forbids it. More than that, by COM
pleting triangle of special London
Paris Moscow arrangements, it may
have the wholesome effect Of max
ing the power balance in Europe
considerably less lopsided-a stabi-
lizing development helpful to the
peace.

To the Editor of The Star:

After the COP won the election, it just

Protests 'Sniping' at Mr.. Taft
To the Editor of The Star:
note that many political writer's of
left-wing sympathies are trying to Gre
ate the impression that Senator Taft
is a "cold fish," man without per-
sonality, etc.-evidently with a view to
spelling his chance of becoming Presi-
dent
Actually, my personal observation is
that Senator Taft has q markedly
friendly personality Furthermore, since
when did personality become the cri-
terion by which we should select our
Presidents? If we were to go by per-
sonality primarily, our next President
would be Gerald L. K. Smith, who un-
doubtedly has more personality than
any other man in America.
The writer Is not personally a Taft
booster. OF the candidates in sight, I
prefer Senator Bricker. However,
just wish to register a protest at this
unfair sniping at very genial and
great Anferican-Bob Taft.

Comet Series Victors

Washington will be represented at
the Comet Glass international cham
pionships at Ithaca, N. Y, Septem-

Eric Nordholm.
They finished one, two in a five
race elimination series held Sat-
urday and yesterday off Hams
Point. Three races were sailed yes
terday in a good southerly breeze
that sent the Is comets around
courses in fast time
Wright's Fan Ten V, the same boat
in which he placed second in the
1916 internationals, had 70l2 points
at series end. Nordholm's Frenzy
rolled up 81 points. Nordholm prob
ably would have wound up in first
position but for misunderstand-
ing with a member of the race
committee over whether a race was
to be sailed two laps.
Heading for the point under the
impression it was only once around,
Nordholm finally learned that the
fleet he had been leading was away
ahead of him. He returned to the
course and finished tenth.
Henry Brylawski in Nimbus was
tied with Wright for second at the
beginning of the day, but fell to a
final third place. He was twice re-
called at the start for jumping the
gun.

Veteran Hi-Jack Wins
Jumper Crown al
Franconia Show
BY Lorry Lawrence

Garth War rode his fathers vet
eran campaigner Hi-Jack to the
jumper championship at the Fran
coma Fire Department Horse Show
near Alexandria, Va. yesterday.
When Hi-Jack won his first class
of the day-the warm -up-he seemed
so right" he was a favorite to DOM
mate the rest of the division. How
ever. in the opening jumping event
Thomas Holloway's Boots took the
blue while another War entry, Gra-
teur II, placed second and Hi-Jack
had to be content with third ribbon
The big gelding and his young rider
were out of the ribbons in the knock
down and out which was won by
Oak Hill Stables Sir Comet.
Hi-Jack appeared to get his second
wind in the triple bar when he was
forced to jump of several times with
his stable mate Bingo before con-
ceding the blue. In the last class
the modified Olympic. Hi-Jack de-
feated all contenders and was as
sured of the tricolor when this blue
brought his total points to IS.
Thomas Holloway's Boots was
reserve to Hi-Jack with II points
Boots won the open jumping event
easily and picked up a second in the
modified Olympia and a third in
the warm-up.

the guys who spend $375.20 taking
us to lunch each season for a
$3.50 seat.
But there's much more to this
booklet than attendance records,
box Office figures, etc. Leisurely
riffiing through its pages you'll
read that Andy Farkas' 68 points
in 1899 still are the seasons high
scoring mark; that Cliff Battles
75-yard gallop against the Giants
IN 1887 is the longest run from
scrimmage ever made by a Red

bur Moore caught against Brook
lyn in 1943 were tops for one
game; and that XII Aldrich made
the record list by packing FUN
BILE go yards for a score against
the Steelers in 1912.
One section of particular de-
light to this reporter is the all
time list Of Redskins filling three
pages Of agate type. We found
the Tribe never has had a player
whose last name began with the
letter @. v or x. We hope they
never do, because the rest of 1t Is

who would carry the ball every

way can be found to put it in

who follows the pro game. It's a

Freed at last from a web of
psychological murder stories,
Hollywood producers have set
their feet on the path of lectur-
-subtly, of course. The new
film trend is toward thought
provoking stories, tales meaty
with lessons of tolerance in vari-
GUS fields. And as Hollywood pro-
duces these films, it Indirectly adj
mits it no longer believes minds
of the average ticket-buyer are
on a level of the 12-year-olds.
Hollywood is also proving, in these
ne wpictures, that lessons can be
told without detracting from the
primary purpose of a picture
entertainment.
