United Nations Now Seen at Stage
Of Complete Futility on Peace Aims

hooked. Somehow we must get un'
hooked. The question is how. The
suggestion that the United Nations
should be reorganized without Rus
STA has been made a number OF
times. 1t is urged that this great
peace loving power" should again
be expelled, as she was in 1889 from
the League of Nations because OF her
indefensible attack upon Finland
But that is idle talk. It merely re-
veals how slight an appreciation
there Is of the trap into which we
have fallen. There is not the least
likelihood that Russia will Withdraw
from the United Nations and certain
it is Russia cannot be legally ex-
PEELED.
Evidence Is Convincing.
The idea that she might resign is
silly. The Morley assertion that Rus
STA Joined the United Nations solely
to keep it ineffective while Russia's
own organization is developed OF
course can be sustained only by cir
cumstantial evidence. But this is SC
strong as to be entirely convincing
to most of our and most OF Britain's
representatives. From the viewpoint
of the Kremlin, the policy of block
ing from within the Security Council
is working wonderfully.
If we do nothing about 1t, nc
sound reason can be given why they
should abandon it. AS for expulsion
the charter makes the impossibility
of that perfectly plain. So it comes
down to this-if Russia continues in
her policy of blocking, an intolerable
situation exists. Inevitably, the
question of dissolving the United Ma
tons must come to the front. There
Is no other means by which Russia
can be removed from the organiza-
ton she now dominates. The "Tru-
man Doctrine" and the Marshall
Plan" it Is commended, In effect, are
operating to dissolve the United Ma
tons and form a new agency can
didly opposed to the extremely ef-
ficient Soviet league.
Those who believe there Is nc
chance of an alteration in the Soviet
attitude and, therefore, dissolution
of the United Nations is the only
sensible course, insist that before
that step is taken plan should be
considered for the revival of the ole
League of Nations at its seat ir
Geneva. They concede that while
this easily could have been done
three years ago. the difficulties are
much greater now. Still. II there IL

cooperation in the interest of per.

gested. We now are in an organi.
cation supposed to promote inter-
national peace but which has ne

great need of the world Is the re-
constitution of an organization
which at least can do that.
OF course, should the Russians
have a complete change of heart, all
would be we'll But after two years
very few believe in that.

This Changing World
Marshall Plan Stymied Due to Failure
Of European Nations to File 'Blueprints

would menace the structure of the
governments In Western Europe If
the promised help did not material
ize. OF this the White House and
State Department are fully aware.
But they are also aware that it
would be sheer folly TO ask Con-
gress for sums estimated between
20 and 80 billion dollars over the
next three to five years without
showing something concrete.
Congress gave the administration
a blank check during the war and 1t
was used lavishly for lend-lease.
Congress also gave close to $1,000
100000 for UNRRA, without any
guarantee of efficient expenditure.
Since We day Congress has ap-
proved close to $4,000, 900, 900 more
for various purposes abroad. But
whether the House and the Senate
will indorse another blank check Tor
assistance to Europe, under the
vaguest possible terms, Is considered
highly problematical by the admin
istration.
Political Results Feared.
Deep concern is caused in Official
circles in Washington by the failure
of any of the countries which are
accepting American assistance to
present us with detailed working
plan, as they have been requested
to do. 1t is realized that If the
conditionally offered assistance Is
not forthcoming the hopes OF West
ern Europe will be dashed and ex-
tremely serious political results may
follow.
The French and italian govern
ments, for instance, could not sur
vive such a "cataclysm" for more
than two weeks and the chances
are that they would be succeeded by
Communist or near-Communlst
regimes. But at the same time the
administration in Washington can
not possibly accept the blanket hg-
ures submitted by the interested
governments, because 1t realizes
that Congress would balk.
Mr.. KEENAN,, who has followed
developments closely, was ordered to
Paris in order to make a last at
tempt to convince the beneficiary
governments that they must present
tangible plans which Congress can
consider and, possibly, approve If
it is shown that the requested aid
will mean permanent recovery for
Europe.

For nalo.American Oil Treaty Delay

treaty before his committee. Here
was an instance Of one Senator
being bigger than his committee,
and overshadowing the Senate itself.
In 1916 he was candidate again
for the Senate. His reelection was
certain, but he chose to believe that
his seat might be IN jeopardy. So
he kept the treaty in his pocket for
purely personal, political reasons
When, Unexpectedly in 1s46, the
Republicans won control OF the
Senate, Senator Vandenberg OF
Michigan succeeded Senator Con-
nally as chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee. Senator YAM
denberg, a statesman who does not
play petty, personal politics with
important public business, gave as
surance that the treaty would have
a fair hearing. Unfortunately,
however, in international oil mat
tiers, the State Department has
been a dog in the Manager" and
from the beginning had sabotaged
this treaty. 1t put the treaty so far
down on its priority list that 1t was
late in being reached. For this
Senator Vandenberg was not to
blame.
Meanwhile, Harry F. Sinclair, Of
Teapot Dome disesteem, organized
campaign in Texas against the
treaty. Just why he opposed 1t, un-
less it was because Of natural cuss-
edness, no one knows. In any event,
an elephants fear Of mouse was
nothing when compared with Sena-
tor Connally's trembling trepida-
ton as to Harry F. Sinclair. AL
though he had been reelected for
full term, Senator 'Connally con-
tinued to oppose the treaty, despite
the fact that practically every oil
man in the United States supported
it, excepting only Harry F. Sinclair
and few others. And also despite
Increasing evidence that the country
was facing an oil shortage.
At the hearings of the Foreign
Relations Committee, the State De-
partment made miserable showing.
Undersecretary Dean Acheson
gave perfunctory approval to the
treaty, and then, SO far as the
State Department was concerned
the whole matter was turned over to
Charles B. Rayner, petroleum
adviser" a kindly man of good in
tentions but OF no force. Secre-
tary Marshall apparently did not
choose to testify in behalf of this
important agreement. Undersecre-
tary Clayton, who had promised to

I had been a Samson, I do believe
he would have liked to be picked up

No Ordinary Critter.
This bulls name is Cantor
Questor, and he is no ordinary crit
ter. Just a few hours before he had
been named grand champion of
the Argentina National Cattle Show,
which makes him just about the
best shorthorn bull in the world.
And just few hours later, while
I was still admiring him and Won

to the hotel and get my travellers

ring and, after spirited bidding
among some Of this country's rich

for 100000 pesos.
I still wish I had Cantor Questor,
though. I could have cut hundred
steaks day of him for year
without him knowing it. There was
more beef on him than you'll find
in the average supermarket butcher
shop. And he wouldn't have minded,
I am sure of that. He was so sweet
