A short time earlier, Adolph

shun mines they consider unsafe.

West Virginia Panhandle.
At UNIV headquarters here,
directed DR.. R. R. ,Sawyers, out

they would not set a pattern for
the whole industry. However, no
UNIV official was ready to b e
quoted by name on the subject.
Meanwhile, President Truman
directed DR.. R. R. SAwyers, out
going director OF the U. S. Bureau
Of mines, to remain on the j o b
indefinitely, while Congress in

Sawyers had been scheduled to
return to the Public Health ser

John l.. Lewis, UNIV leader,
protested t he Boyd appointment
vehemently He told the Senate

that Boyd does not know the coal

Interior officials explained that
Mr.. Truman's request to Sayers
was made so Sayers would be
available during the Centralia in

Paul took this oath:

Immediately after Paul was

however, refused to accept it and
requested Maximos to carry on.
Paul was deeply moved as he
took the oath. When he had utter

until it was apparent that the con-
ference had reached a stalemate.
Such a stalemate was evident
tonight, after the executive SEES
sion of the ministers failed to rec
oncile Russia's views on repara-
tons with those of Britain and
the United States.
An official announcement said
the discussion today Was limited
tc the subjects of level of indust, y
and PREPARATIONS and ut was
agreed to return to eormal' ses-
sions tomorrow"
All In Accord
Ali four delegations are agreed
that unless PREPARATIONS are set
tied, decisions On other questions
will be largely academic, particu-
larly In view of the Soviet stand
that unless she receives repara-
tons she will not agree TO eco
nomic unity of Germany.
It was authoritatively learned,
however, that PREPARATIONS would
be dropped from tomorroW's
agenda, and that the ministers
would discuss a provisional gov
eminent for Germany.
Responsible sources said this
was the strongest indication that
the four powers had little pros
pect of reaching a reparatsons
agreement, since they would con-
tinue discussions on this vital sub.
ject if there were the slightest
chance of progress.
It was understood Marshall TOLD
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M
Molotov that unless the Russians
were willing to compromise or
separations, the present discus

to result in a showdown. Instead
of the customary large staff Of

turned to his country to share with

gress for authority to act. Before
he can act, the whole proposal will
be examined publicly by the COM
mittees and it will then be de-
bated in Congress.
II the policy can be explained
to Congress, and therefore to the
world, it can also be explained %
the United Nations. A full explana-
ton. and a willingness to consider
objections, would meet the obliga-
ton to consult. There are many
ways Of doing this, and any one
Of them. or all, would relieve us
of the suspicion that we are evad-
ing our obligations. We could in
form the Secretary-General Of the
United Nations about our pro-
posals, and invite him to take no.
tice of the explanations which will
be offered to Congress. Mr.. Aus
tin could go before the Security
Council and explain the proposals,
not waiting until MI. Gromyko at
tacks them. We could notify the
United Nations that we shall not
only explain what VIZ intend to do
and why, but also that We shall
report to them at regular inter-
walls what we have done and why.
We could, moreover, invite the
leading interested nations to send
official observers to Greece to see
for themselves what we are doing.
The great advantage OF some
such action on our part is that 1t
would at once rehabilltate the
moral authority of the United
Nations and would not interfere
with the efficiency of our action
since the whole intervention must,
because Congress is a party to it,
be conducted without secrecy and
in full public view.
But there r many other ad-
vantages of acting, as Senator
Vandenberg puts it, within the
United Nations'-even though we
do not act through the United
Nations. This is the best way to
answer the charge that We are
doing what we have SO often
charged others, particularly the
Russians, with doing-that we are
acting unilaterally and for the pur-
pose of domination and imperial
aggrandizement.
Moreover, by going into Greece,
we shall set up right on the from
tier of the Soviet orbit, a demon
stration Of how we think a weak
country, which is strategically i'm
portant, should be treated by a
great power. We must make the
demonstration attractive as well
as convincing. We must show not
only that we have money and mil
itary strength and technical skill
but also that we are the willing
and eager servants of an inter-
national order, within which small
nations can obtain assistance and
protection without sacrificing their
Independence or their self respect.
Not to act within the United Ma
tons, and in accord with a broad
affirmation of the spirit of the
Charter, would be to aggravate
our difficulties and to miss q goN-
en- opportunity. Let 1t not be
said OF us.
"Then rushed to meet the in
sulting foe, They took the spear,
but left the shield"
For if the spear is our money,
our prestige and u power, the
shield is our readiness to be al
ways faithful to the spirit Of our
! pledges to mankind.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-04-02

| In addition to its vague global-
ism. which has already caused
much misunderstanding in many
iparts Of the world, a most serious
defect of the Presidents message
was the treatment accorded the
United Nations This defect can be
corrected. 1t urgently needs to be
corrected. Otherwise the Ameri-
can Intervention will be highly vul-
Inerable to criticism at home and
abroad, and u task will be more
difficult than it needs to be.
The treatment of U.N. has been
explained, for example by Senator
vandenberg, on the ground that
while I'VE must keep faith with
the pledges to the Charter" it is
mot practical at the immediate
moment" to proceed within the
United Nations because U.N. has
no relief funds-and it has not yet
concluded agreements with mem
Der nations for military support.
Now it is quite true that U.N.
has neither the money nor the
power to act. Almost certainly it is
also true that if U.N. had the
money and the power, the Soviet
Union would veto action by the
But that does not release us
from our pledges under the Char
ter. Because the U.N. Is unable
to act collectively, it does not fol-
low that we have the right to act
unilaterally, or even that II we
have the right, that it is wise to
exercise it.
The heart of the United Nations
Charter and the soul Of the whole
undertaking is the covenant to
consult with the other members,
particularly the permanent mem
bers Of the Security Council, when
an issue of international security
and peace is raised. Indisputably
such an issue is raised here: the
Pre- sident said so in his message.
The fact that the U.N. is not cap
able Of acting swiftly, effectively,
or even Of acting at all, does not
relieve US OF the obligation to con.
suit the United Nations before we
act.
It is possible, I realize, to argue
that the letter of the Charter, if
Article 106 is strictly and narrow
ly construed. Does not oblige us
in this specific case to consult
with one another with "a view
to such Joint action on behalf OF
the organization as may be neces-
sary for the purpose Of maintain
ing international peace and secur-
ity."
We could argue that the Greek
government has invited us to in
tervene, that the exact language
Of Article 100 does not fit this case
exactly. But if we do, we shall
be sacrificing the spirit to the
letter For the obligation to con-
suit is the paramount principle Of
the United Nations, n we 40 not
have the right. nor is it in our
Interest, to fail TO uphold that
principle.
1t was-to put in conservatively
AN oversight to have discussed
our proposed action before the
President announced it to the
world only with the British gov
eminent, and not also with the
French, the Chinese and the Rus
sian. That, however, is water over
the dam, and the mistake can be
repaired. The policy is not yet
adopted. The President has not yet
acted. He is still only asking Con-

answed directly Sen. L. H. Foun-
tain Of Edgecombe who wanted
to know If Null knew OF "any Sc

replied.
Null appeared before the SEN
ate committee to support a House
bill which would prohibit wine
sales and leave regulation of beer
to county commissioners in 20
counties.
Null said he had compromised
on the pattern" bill in order to
get it passed. He said he didn't
like the section permitting sale Of
beer in Grade A and B restaur-
ants.
Sen. Rivers Johnson of Duplin
asked Null with whom such an
agreement was made. I'D like to

Null said the agreement was
made with House Speaker Tom
