Going on Without Russia

Current press dispatches from London
based on authoritative information tend
to confirm what has been already bruited
here in Washington, namely that both
British Foreign Secretary Bevin and
French Foreign Minister Bdault are plan
ming to come to our Capital City next
month for conferences with this Govern
ment. Primarily, these conferences wall
have to do with German economic recovery
in general and the question of the Ruhr
in particular. But it is logical to presume
that broader aspects of Europe's imple-
mentation of the Marshall plan will be
considered. And the significant point in
all this Is that Soviet Russia will be out of
the picture, having deliberately excluded
itself therefrom. .
These projected tripartite conferences
of the three western powers are, In turn
part of much larger picture embracing
virtually every aspect of the world situa-
ton. And throughout is visible what
appears to be pattern of developing
action without Moscow and it's satellites
The trend emerges in our Governments s
proposals for peace conference on Japan
despite Moscow's objection to the sug-
gested method of procedure. 1t likewise
emerges in sush diverse phases as the
Security Councils deliberations over the
Balkans, the U. N. Atomic Energy Control
Commission, and even the international
economic conference at Geneva. Every
where we see visible a growing resolve of
the majority of sovereign states in the
world not to be further blocked in their
efforts toward world recovery and security
by the obstructive tactics of Moscow and
its satellites. In default of Soviet CO.
operation, methods and techniques are
being evolved to go on without Soviet par
ttcipation. And, the more Moscow en-
deavors to counter this trend, the more
the trend will crystalline sand develop.
1t should, of course, be clearly under
stood that the impetus behind all these
developments is neither antagonism to
Moscow nor deliberate exclusiveness They
are, indeed, being entered into with heavy
hearts by statesmen whose basic objective
remains co-ordinated, harmonious world.
But the worlds work must be done some
how, and if Moscow balks and rejects
every constructive suggestion, the work
must go on, not against Russia but without
Russia, until such time as the disadvan-
tages for the Soviet Union and its satel-
ntes become so tellingly obvious that either
Moscow will have change of heart or
the Soviet bloc may show signs of fissure
under economic strain,
That. at least, is the hope of every
forward looking statesman in the western
world. The alternative Is, not return to
"appeasement" of Moscow, but frank
recognition of the long term character OF
the existing ''two-world" split, with all the
grim connotations that that implies.

AIbuniu Before the Court

In agreeing at last to the jurisdiction of
the international Court of Justice in the
Corfu Channel case, Albania apparently
has recognized that its renewed applica-
ton for membership in the United Nations
would get nowhere If it persisted in re-
jecting such jurisdiction.
The case involves the mine explosion
that hit two British destroyers and killed
forty-four British sailors in Corfu Channel
in October, 1946 Britain has labeled the
incident as an Albanian Crime against
humanity" and last April, by 7-to-2
vote, the Security Council held this charge
to be true at least in part A Soviet veto
nullified the finding, but the Council-with
Russia and Poland abstaining-there
recommended that the dispute be referred
to the World Court.
In view of its professed desire to be a
member of the United Nations, Albania's
months-long delay in accepting this rec
ommendation - promptly welcomed by
Britain-could hardly have been continued
much longer without blasting away all
Albanian avowals of good faith The
Security Council having referred the case
to the World Court, and the World Court
being an integral part of the U. N. Albania
has at length had to agree to the Courts
jurisdiction to save itself from virtual
admission of guilt and from disqualifying
itself for entry into the U. N.
What remains to be seen now is whether
the Albanians will accept the final judg
ment If it goes against them. The case
is the first to be sent to the Court, and it
can be settled by simple majority vote
of the judges. The test involved will
measure not merely the Courts power,
which must be largely moral, but also
Albanias character as Soviet satellite
seeking to become part of system de-
signed to establish just peace under
world law

President Truman expressed during his sur

what he has said many times in private TO

This Senate inconsistencies may become sig
nificant when Mr.. Truman leaves the White
House. He has supported proposals to make
ex-Presidents Senators at large entitled to all
rights and allowances except voting.

S3O.S4O-BHion Budgets

In the opinion of some top-rung Government
analysts, the Federal budget will never again
get out of the 30-to-4 -billion-do range.
Their view is that when it looks as though
the budget will drop to the 3O-billon figure
those who want the Government to do more
things will put on more pressure than those
who want it to do less.
At the 4o-billion top side Of the bracket they
