E. Davies, former Ambassador to
Russia, and Miss Anna Rosenberg
and Judge Samuel I. Rosenmarl,
both formerly identified with the
New Deal and strong advocates OF
policy of getting along with Russia
at all costs; and on the other, such
men as Father Edmund A. Walsh,
regent Oh Georgetown University's
School of Foreign Service and vet
eran critic of Kremlin policies, and
the intellectual and realistic Karl t.
Compton, president of Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology.
They have come to a clear,
unanimous and strong conviction
about the course which our country
should follow in respect to universal
training in the foreseeable future.
Risk of Defeat Held Alternative.
The Advisory Commission on
Universal Training set up by Presi-
dent Truman did not mince words
and warned the Nation that unless
it's recomendatious-which do not
come from war-mongers - are
adopted, in spite of the staggering
cost, the United States will soon
risk calamitous defeat at the hands
of an aggressive power which in a
few years will possess the know
how" of the atomic bomb and other
instruments of destruction now
unknown to the public. Russia was
not named in the report, but all
those who can read between the
lines know whence the danger will
come.
The commission In making this
renOrt has rendered a signal service

committee that q bill to aid the
schools could have the right Of way
would bring it before the House In
short order.
Nothing less partisan ever has
confronted Congress. Recently the
Republican open forums through
out the country made the question
of Federal aid the subject of one
weeks discussion. When the vote
was taken it showed that IA per cent
of all those participating were in
favor of Federal aid. The method
of providing Federal aid preferred
by most of those voting Is the meth
cd provided by the Taft bill, Incl
dentally, Notwithstanding that the
open forums originated in the Stas-
sen campaign group.
The situation, bad now, will be
worse next year. The first of the
crop of war babies will be starting
to school. In the five years follow
ing our entry into the war 13,000,-
600 babies were born. The popula-
ton experts had predicted only g.
100000. Who thought up the ad-
ditional 100000 doesn't matter
now. They are American children
and We owe them a decent Ameri-
can education.

Writer Sees Signal Service to Nation
In Report of Commission on Training

to the county. Congress Is economy
minded and, just as was the case
after all previous wars, feels that
it can drastically reduce military
expenditures.
Many members Of both houses
are aware that peace Is still q long
way or. In fact, more members Of
Congress feel that way today than
Immediately after We and WI days.
At first the people OF the United
States and their elected leaders
placed high hopes in the efficacy Of
the q. N.
The United States enthusiastically
indorsed the peace organization, be-
lieving firmly that 1t would do away,
more effectively than the League of
Nations, with all threats Of major
wars. Americans also believed that
Russia, after having taken over sew
eral countries which before 1899
were free and independent, would
cooperate with the rest of the world
Cou2 in Hungary Cited.
The Russian threats to Turkey
and Greece, which forced $400, ,000, 900
out of the pockets of American tax
payers, and the Russian coup in
Hungary last week confirm the belief
that Russia intends to play a lone
hand in the international game.
In the effort of bolster up the ma
tional defense, members of Congress
are restrained by the refusal OF some
of their constituents to believe that
actual danger faces this country.
Unfortunately this blind optimism
finds support in the speeches of some
of our highest officials, including
Gen. Eisenhower, Army Chief of
Staff, who has said publicly that an
other war is unthinkable and Ger
tainly very remote. Because we are
tired of war such official expressions
look better to rank and file Amer
leans than the warning that another
aggression, with America as the
target, may be in the ofdng.
The, optimistic element in the
electorate compels both Senators
and Representatives to draw the
strings on the Nations purse when 1t
comes to expenditures for national
defense. Members of Congress con-
slider 1t their mandate from the peo-
pie to tighten up on money for the
Army and Navy, although many OF
them know better.
The report of President Truman's
advisory commission will, 1t is hoped,
shake Americans out of their COM
placency. If it does nothing more
its labors will be fully rewarded.

smith. The President is said to be
eager to name him Immediately but
has been persuaded to wait until all
the vexing details Of the shift can
be wrapped up In one package.
Mr.. Braden's resignation is on the
Presidents desk. Mr. Messersmith,
veteran career diplomat, will re-
tire from the service. Some OF his
old friends are still trying to wangle
another assignment for him but
their success is unlikely.
Elimination of Job Proposed.
Gaining favor among those seek
ing smooth solution Is a proposal
to eliminate Braden's position. 1t
is argued that there Is no Assistant
Secretary for Europe, the Near East,
Far East, ETC., and that these re-
gions flourish acceptably in divisions
which clear through the Under
secretary. American Republic Af-
fairs, it is said, could do likewise.
Should this proposal lose ground,
leading candidate for Braden's job
is reported to be Gustav Pabst, who
advised Secretary of State Marshall
on Latin American Affairs when the
Secretary was Chief of Staff.
Mr.. Braden himself made ready
to depart when the Secretary over
ruled him on the question of max
ing American arms available to
Latin America. This program was
sent to Congress for approval last
week by the President.
Marshall ImmovabIe.
When 1t became clear that his
views were not to be followed, Mr..
Braden formally outlined them in a
Evening star., 1947-06-03
Impasse Dissolving
Departure of Braden and Messersmith
Seen Ending Dispute on Latin Policy

memorandum to his subordinates.
His main arguments were that it
might start an arms race, it would
not strengthen our Southern de-
fenses but would instead reinforce
the nondemocratic elements in the
hemisphere, it would operate to
benefit the richest countries and
finally, it would be far more expen-
sive than its supporters admit.
This document was circulated with
out comment from Braden but all
his bureau chiefs initiated their
approval.
Gen. Marshall was immovable.
He had favored the plan as Chief of
Staff; he still favors it. Braden
insisted that his resignation already
on file must take effect. He agreed
it had not been desirable to depart
while his quarrel with Messersmith
over the amount of recognition to
afford the Peron government was
still smoking. He pointed out that
the new differences shifted and gen.
eralized the grounds and said he
wished to go.
Apparently he, too, has been per-
suaded to mark time until the new
package Is complete.
The department is willing to let
Braden 60, but it desires to avoid
even the appearance of abandoning
the democratic principles which he
has so stoutly championed.
DeadIine Is December.
The deadline against which Gen.
Marshall is working is the next Pam
American conference scheduled for
December in Bogota.
1t will be popular in Congress for
him to give special attention to- this
hemisphere. Since the departure of
Sumner Welles, to whom hemis-
pheric unity was an almost sacred
cause, American republic affairs
have suffered from an inattention
forced by the intolerable pressures
elsewhere upon the procession of
new Secretaries Of State-Stettinius,
Byrnes and Marshall. The career
diplomats have always been Europe
minded.
Mr.. Bruce's visible qualifications
for the Argentine post seem some
what slight though he had diplo-
matte experience in Europe during
the Wilson administration. His ap-
pointment would be in line with the
present Truman trend to wealthy,
conservative businessmen who hap
pen also to be Democrats.

man Allen thinks it should adjourn
and go home. 1t will have fulfilled
the Republican Party'S campaign
promises, in his opinion, and need
do no more. He agrees with other
party leaders that the session should
be wound up by the end of July.
This will mean, of course, that a
great deal of business will be left
unfinished, even if the administra-
ton doesn't think up" a single
additional thing for Congress to do.
Crisis From Lack of Thought.
For example, the educational
crisis in this country wasn't thought
up by the administration. 1t wasn't
thought up by anybody. It has come
upon us as the result of lack of
thought. Because it didn't occur to
us that some day teachers would
quit teaching unless they were paid
living wages and that young men
and women would not prepare
themselves to become teachers I'M
less the profession were made more
attractive than garbage collecting,
We now have desperate situation
in the schools.
The proposed measures to correct
the condition were not thought up
by the administration, although the
administration has been giving them
whole-hearted support. They were
thought up by frantic parents in all
parts Of the country. The woman
in one poverty stricken community
who took her daughter out of school
when she reached the seventh grade
because the teacher had had only
a fourth-grade education helped
think up the solution of Federal
assistance. Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations in every State also helped.
Likewise civic organizations of all
kinds.
Chairman Allen and his ruling
group in the House must know
where the demand comes from.
Every member of Congress has been
hearing from his constituents on the
subject. Over in the Senate bill
designed to meet the demand now
appears likely of passage sometime
in July. 1t wasn't thought up by
the administration. 1t was thought
up by Senator Taft, with the Coop
Grafton of his Republican colleagues
Smith. Cooper. and Tobey and his
Democratic colleagues Thomas, Hill,
Ellender and Chavez, after long
weeks of committee hearings during
which nearly a hundred qualified
witnesses were heard.
Babies More Than Expected.
Similar hearings on similar legis-
lation have been held by the House
Committee on Education and Labor.
