Good Police Work

Wilmington police, by their perseverance
hended three persons sought in Connection
with a hit and run case in which two per-
sons were hospitalized.
This is good work. Perhaps other would
be hit and run drivers will think twice be-
fore they try to get away, leaving the NAMED
and injured by the roadside.
The average cop, to use a word that seems
tc be have been born from the fact that
policemen do cop off (capture) criminals, is
a right sort of a chap. Few are embrolleo
in personal activities repulsive to private
citizens, the more so because they are sworn
to uphold the law as its officers.
Few officers of the law are prone to esca-
pades. True. many of them will never ON
pete with J. Edgar Hoover but they don't
have to. Their principal task is the pre-
vention Of crime and one way to contribute
toward less crime is to be civil, to non-mem-
bers of the force.
The cop who becomes tough when some
one parks a wee DIT wrong or commits some
other minor infraction of the ordinances, is
not contributing to the good name of HIM
self and his co~-workers. People, it is true,
are too prone to seize upon every instance
to pan the officers.
The percentage Of misfits on the Whining
ton force is no greater than in any given
class of society or vocation.
Under Mayor E. L.. White and Chief
even smaller percentage.

deadlock, he will offer what the
|Soviets have already offered ir
observation-disclosures withdrawal
of all occupying troops in Ger
many.
1t may seem odd that this
prospect fails to delight the Amer
lean policy makers. 1t has long
been the first objective of Amer
lean foreign policy to get the Red
Army out of Germany, and out
of those Balkan states in which
the Red Army remains for the
ostensible purpose of keeping
open the lines of communication
to Germany and Austria. Yet
this American objective is OF
course conditional on a peace
treaty with Germany, including
real political and economic uni
fication of all zones, and super
vised free elections of a German
government.
The astute planners in the
|Kremlin, on the other hand, il
they decide to use the same tao
teal maneuver they have al
ready used in Korea, are expect
ed to demand a simple referen-
dun of the German people be-
fore the evacuation of all for.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-20

eign troops. Already, on the So
lviet-controlled radio in Berlin,
there have been hints of such
a referendum. 1t would merely
call for a vote by the German
people on whether foreign troops
should be evacuated and Ger
many unified. The Germans
would, of course, vote an over
whelming Eyes" on both ques-
tions. Then, if the Soviet pro-
posal takes the expected shape,
the occupation armies would
simply pull out, leaving Ger
many to the Germans.
Naturally, before making any
such offer, the planners in the
Kremlin would have made very
careful preparation for a possible
acceptance of the offer by the
Western powers. In northern Ko-
rea, before making their evacua-
ton offer, the Soviets establish
ed an all-Communist peoples
government" consisting exclu-
sively of willing Soviet stooges.
They also trained and equipped
a Korean Red Army" of more
than 200, 900 men. Thus, the
Kremlin planners undoubtedly
calculated, if the Americans
were idiots enough to accept their
offer of simultaneous evacuation,
all Korea would very quickly be-
come a Soviet bailiwick. If the
Americans refused, the offer
would at least be an effective
propaganda device in Korea and
throughout the world.
There are reliable reports that
precisely the same sort of prep
arations are now in progress in
the Soviet zone of Germany. The
Communist control of the Soviet
SpOllSOlc oOC1dllSI Olllty pd1
ty' is now wholly unchallenged.
The unreliable deadwood has
been ruthlessly cut out. The
Communists have an iron grip on
the labor unions throughout east
ern Germany, and the Commun-
list minority is on the offensive
throughout the western zones.
Finally, the German equivalent
of the Korean Red Army" is
being prepared.
There are reliable reports that
this new Russian-created Ger
man army, whose core is the
German survivors of Stalingrad,
numbers at least 100000 men,
and probably far more. 1t is be-
ing kept in readiness in south

charges that Soviet Russia's ul-
innate goal is Ito dominate, in
one way or another, all of Eu-
rope" are made by ex-Secre'
tary of State James F. Byrnes
in his new book, speaking
Frankly" published by Harper
and Brothers. The accusation is
made in the next to the las.
chapter significantly entitled,
What Are the Russians Aft
err"
In summary, Byrnes charges
that the international ambitions
of Communist Russia differ
very little from the aims OF
Czarist Imperial Russia a.
Byrnes further charges that
these 'emands vary little from
dema1 IS Stain and Molotov
made on Adolf Hitler in 1910.
For proof, Byrnes cites his
own experiences in dealing with
Stain and Molotov from Yalta
to the first peace talks, and he
quotes Karl Marx, father of So
cialism and communism, writ
ing on "The Eastern Question"
in 1853.
Most damaging evidence
comes from German documents
captured by American forces in
Berlin. They are translations Of
blow-by-blow negotiations be-
tween Hitler and Ribbentrop,
Stain and Molotov, and their
ambassadors in Moscow and
Berlin.
Byrnss quotes Kari Marx to
the effect that. since the time
of Peter the Great to 1858, "the
total acquisitions of Russia dur
ing the last 60 years are equal
in extent to the whole empire
she had in Europe before that
time"
In another dispatch Marx
wrote: "And as sure as con-
quest follows conquest 50
sure would the conquest of Tur-
key by Russia be only the pre-
Jude for annexation of Hungary,
Prussia, Galicia and the ulti.
mate realization of the Slavonic
Empire. The arrest of the
Russian scheme of annexation
is a matter Of the highest mo-
ment."
"How contemporary that
sounds!" observes Byrnes.
He then recounts that from
1853 to 1914, Russia acquired
971. 900 square miles.
The Bo1shevik revolution of
1917 cost Russia 500. 600 square
miles through the loss of Fin
land. Estonia. Latvia. Lith
uania, Kars in Turkey, Bessara-
bia in Romania and a large
area in the new Poland.

Russian Imperialism
BY T S

But, in 1899, Russia again en-
barked upon an era OF ex-
pansion that has already netted
800, 600 square miles. "Expan-
sionism," writes Byrnes, sis
not an innovation of the Com
munist regime. 1t is rooted
in Russian history. Only the
personalities and tactics have
changed"
From the captured German
Foreign Office records. Byrnes
reports that in November, 1910,
Ribbentrop proposed to Molotov
two secret protocols. They were
intended to divide up the old
world, on Hitler notions. Ger
many was to get Central Africa,
Italy North Africa, Japan tn e
Pacific islands. Russia was to
get a free hand in the Black
Sea, the xardanelles and every
thing south of Russia towards
the Indian Ocean.
On Nov. 25, 1910, Molotov
made a formal reply, saying
Russia would 60 along on the
deal on four conditions:
l.. That Germax troops be
withdrawn from Poland. 2. That
Soviet security in the Darda-
nelles be guaranteed by a pact
with Bulgaria and the establish
ment of a Soviet military base
on the straits. 8. That Soviet
aspirations in the general direc-
ton of Iran and the Persian
Gulf be recognized. 4. That ia
pan abandon its concessions on
Sakhalin Island.
Writes Byrnes: "Molotov ap-
parently had not realized how
ineptly he had played his hand
in Berlin, nor the degree OF Hit
ler's indignation. The Soviet
government never received a
reply to this message"
But compare Molotov's 1910
demands with today's situation.
It shows that the Soviet govern
ment has extended its ambi-
tons.
Demands against Finland
have been satisfied. But Nor
way has been asked to grant
greater privileges in the Splits
bergen islands. In the east,
Russia now has all of Sakhalin.
In addition, it has the Kuriles
and rights in Port Arthur,
Dairen and Manchuria. Soviet
aspirations to the south have
not been realized. The effort in
Iran was blocked by the United
Nations Security Council.
Coming at a time when the
Russians are accusing the Unit
ed States of having imperialistic
ambitions, this record gives an
answer that cannot be laughed
of.

Huge New Polio
Program Starts

Judge Geo. Beardsley, Chair
man of the Benton County Chap
ter of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, said today that
local contributions to the March
of Dimes had helped make pos
sible huge new program aimed
at expanding the reservoir of
scientists trained to carry on the
fight against polio.
He said that program had just
been announced by national
headquarters of the foundation
and the National Research Coun-
Gil; of Washington, D. G. It will
be financed with 100000 in
March of Dimes funds and will
be administered by the Research
Council.
The foundation grant, Judge
Beardsley said, continues support
of fellowships for young ply
sicians of exceptional promise in
virology, orthopedics and pediatric,
and will make possible new senior
fellowships in neurology and
epidemology.
xAooSA SAAl6 SAAC AAGW 81 dIxL sup.
plements $4,000 previously al
located by the Foundation for
similar Research Council fellow
ships, Judge Beardsley said the
funds were derived from the so
per cent of March of Dimes sent
to national headquarters by local
chapters.
The fellowships provide up to
$4,000 annually per fellow and up
to $1,000 annually for laboratory
expenses. Most fellows will study
for three years at various uni
versities throughout the country
The local chairman said the fell
lows would devote much of their
time to work in the field and in
laboratories, and would be avail
able during polio epidemics for
special assignments on behalf of
chapters of the National Founda-
ton.
The end of the war, he said, had
released many promising young
scientists to civil pursuits, and
the foundation is expanding its
support of the fellowship pro-
gram SO as to harness their tall
entS in fighting disease.
