This Changing World
U.N. Acceptance of Palestine Partition
Might Require u. S. Troops in Area

the basis of Article a of the Char.
ter. All that is necessary for en-.
forcement of that article is unani.
nous consent of the Big Five.
In the case Of Greece the U. SIS. h
refused to permit any such step by
using its veto. But it appears highly
improbable to observers OF the tragi-
comedy in New York that Russia
will exercise its veto in the Palestine
case. The present policy of the
Kremlin Is to embroil the United
States in as many difficulties as
possible.
Soviet Attitude.
Those who carefully analyze the
Soviet maneuvers have come to the
conclusion that the U. S. S. r. would
welcome the creation of a difficult
international situation for the
United States in the Middle East
This attitude, say these observers
is not promoted by any particular
Interest of the Russian government
in the Zionists, but by the desire to
see an end to friendly relations be-
tween the Arab states and America
Americas prestige in the Middle
East and our important strategic
interest in that area have been thor
oughly evaluated by the Politbureau
And Russia will miss no opportunity
to help create a break between the
Arab states and America.
| Many official quarters in Washing
ton consider it out of place even te
mention this country's strategic in
terests. It smacks too much Of
"warmongering" they say and such
talk serves only to confirm Mr.
Vishinsky's attacks on this country
But the truth is that in the present
situation OF the world, major strate-
gic interests cannot be overlooked
regardless of how >peace-minded the
American people and their Govern
ment may be.
Neither France nor Great Britain
are likely to contribute any con-
tingents for the enforcement OF
partition in Palestine. They will
probably excuse themselves on the
ground of economic difficulties, thus
leaving the United States holding
the bag. This belief of some OF our
observers seems to be confirmed by
reports received yesterday from Lon.
don to the effect that Britain will
continue to deliver war material
ordered by the Arab states, In spite
of the massing Of Arab troops or
the Palestine border.
Under these circumstances 1t Il
likely that If the Arabs fout tn
u. N. decision on Palestine, the
United States will be in line to maxi
the major contribution for an ex'
peditionary force.

Not the faintest flaw mars the
perfection Of this highly stylized
production Of one of the most en-
during artificial comedies. It Is set,
costumed, directed and acted with q
kind of hilarious fidelity to the ar
rogant, empty, petulant plane of its
authors thinking. Every perform
ance from Gielgud's spiritually at
Senuated John Worthing, ]. p, to
Stringer Davis portrait Of Worth
ing's butler, Merriman, is a shining
revelation Of what life would be like
II Wilde could have recreated the
species in his image.
The caliber of acting not only
makes certain that audiences will
laugh with the playwright at all
the right times, but at him as well.
So much of merriment is far too
painfully missing from the theater.
X X \ \
Life is amazingly funny viewed
down the noses of Wilde,s aristo-
crates and their aristocratic serv-
ants. To make. this plain. Gielgud
and his associates expertly distort
the human body to create the i'm
preston that the head is something
to be worn tilted backward. That
walking can escape vulgarity only
If 1t Stimulates floating. and that any
handclasp that is less. than high
and fragile Is the essence Of the
base.
The effect of all this strained
elevation of humans above their
normal altitude is hilarious. Even
when 1t is done In such flashes
as Gielgud,s STOPPING exit through
q doorway three feet taller than
he is. This is one Of the funniest
things any one ever saw, an addi-
ton to Wilde that the arrogant
fellow never had any right to ex-
pect, but which is typical of dozens
of Gielgud's ornamentations Of
Oscars poppish, dainty style.
X \ X X
In a cleverly pointed curtain
speech, ever so brilliantly merited
Gielgud told Broadway not merely
that he was glad to be back, but
most especially to be "a member Of
so gifted an ensemble. He spoke
on this with conspicuous and well
placed gratitude for each of his
colleagues contributes memorable
performance.
The brightest Of these, If there
are degrees in such things, is Pamela
Brown as the exquisite Gwendolen
Fairfax, beauty whose hauteur Is
happily tainted with a snake-like
guile that makes her one of the
theater's most amusing heroines
She is never less than a fair match
for Gielgud's ascetic, foppish John
Worthing, who also is counter
pointed expertly by Robert FIemyng's
Algernon Moucrrieff, an aristocrat
whose instincts have not atrophied
in higher society.

company. A group that even in SO
light a play as Wilde's is capable
of challenging the Old Vic Com
pany's standing as England's first
team ira the theater: This is an in
credible thing, but it is precisely
what happened night before last at
the Royale Theater on West Forty
fifth street.
Anything so incredible just has to
be sensational, a word which infre-
quently escapes a critics type
writer, but one honestly earned by
Gielgud's revival Of "The Impor-
tance of Being Earnest"
The sensational quality of it lies
In the vivid reminder that acting is
an art, truth that has been amaz-
ingly obscured in so much of the
debris that passes itself of as drama
In our time.
Few playwrights have enjoyed the
distinction of being accepted so
avidly on their own terms as Wilde
is on this occasion. The greatest
literary posturer of his period is
revealed in the fullness Of those
posturings. He comes off as a
gifted society wit who could not
