This Changing World
Idea of Europe.Wide Settling of Issues
Called Illusory and Extremely Deceptive

political leaders In Washington,
London and Paris to make any such
proposal with the expectation that
it will be accepted, or If accepted
will be carried out in good faith.
The test Of relations with the Soviet
Union must always be not in an
ticipation of Soviet performance
according to the Soviet word, not
In written agreements duly signed
and sealed, not in the assurances OF
Soviet statesmen, but in what the
Soviet Union does or does not do.
Actions not words.
Even If we assumed the existence
Of sincere desire on both sides to
arrive at a general European settle
ment, what would such settlement
embrace? Germany with all its
facets-the issues of a central Ger
man government, German economic
revival, Soviet participation in the
Ruhr, and numerous others-is just
the most aggravating problem Of all
at this moment.
Many Points Of Conflict.
There are 50 many other points
of conflict: The Austrian peace
treaty, Greece, the presence Of large
masses of Russian troops outside
Russia, Soviet maintenance Of Com
munist fifth columns In all the
countries Of Western Europe,
Trieste, the Danube, restoration Of
free government in the satellite
states, and, near the top, the Mar
shall Plan.
The scope of a general settlement
would have to be so broad that it
must cover even such commonplace
things as hostile propaganda and
some curb on the Soviet use Of the
veto power in the United Nations.
In short, settlement for Europe.
without a settlement everywhere
else in the world, would be pretty
useless, for even if Europe could be
eliminated as a field of conflict be-
tween the great powers, there would
remain Asia, which is also pow
der keg, If somewhat less potentially
destructive.
We must not look for tangible re-
suits, however, along the line of a
complete settlement of European
issues so much as settlement of
the immediate crisis in Berlin and
then q progressive rapprochement
which will lay the foundation for
an ultimate settlement of issues.
It simply is not possible to leap
at once from a condition which ap-
proximates armed conflict to full
f1edged condition of peace between
East and West. Any such Settle
ment" would be illusory and ex-
tremely deceptive.
The foundations for general set
Element can be laid. but they must
be laid first through the lifting OF
the Russian blockade in Berlin, then
series of conciliatory developments
to restore true four-power govern
ment to Berlin, subsequently q re-
sumption of the question of a Ger
man peace treaty in the Council Of
Foreign Ministers and finally, pos
sibly as a part of those discussions,
the consideration of all Europe's
power politics problems

Pleasing To The Eye.
Few Americans, I among them,
ever associated Turkish people with
a great sense of feeling for the dec
orative and the beautiful. But they
definitely have it. Everything that
can be made more pleasing to the eye
is done. The horses wear necklaces,
for example. He may be drab old
plug, pulling a drab old cart, but
around his neck will be blue beads,
red beads, and back of his ear he
will sport jaunty feather.
We saw an old fellow pushing a
melon cart. His suit was threadbare,
but in every buttonhole there was a
different colored flower, and his
melons didn't rest on tho floor Of the
cart, but were cushioned by fresh
ferns and flowers artistically ar
ranged.

mitigating but exacerbating ten
sions. The Klan is rising again
with the ugliest visage in years.
There Is more anti-Negro feeling
in the North and more suppressed
antisemitism in the Nation than I
ever have known in my lifetime.
For where racial or religious
Isympathies or antipathies are con-
cerned, the forces engaged are
emotional and irrational, with roots
twisted all through the unconscious
mind and capable, therefore, Of
producing the most explosive reac-
lions.
Discrimination is a phase Of hu-
man nature not confined to any
group. If Gentiles discriminate
against Jews. so do Jews against
Gentiles; and so do Negroes-when
the opportunity is given-as in the
reconstruction era, against whites.
Jewish Zionists vilify non-Zionist
Jews, and antisemitism flourishes
among the colored.
The racial problems Of such a
heterogeneous nation as ours cannot
be solved" except by gradually ex-
panding tolerance over great rer-
iods of time. We have to live with
them, as we have to live with all
our real problems-each Of lis, OF
whatever race, bearing his share
of the burden, with as much justice,
mercy and humor Of which he is
capable. Unroll the whole issue
of race and religious prejudice in
an attempt at a radical solution and,
instead of brotherly love, you will
promote hate; instead of social
peace. civil war; instead Of mercy,
persecution; and instead Of justice,
revenge.

chance there is for an end to the
growing conflict between Russia and
the Western Allies was coupled
with the disclosure that Britain is
considering q halt to her demobili-
zation program as q precaution in
case force becomes necessary.
The idea of q complete general
settlement with Russia is as in
triguing as 1t is fantastic at this
time. What firm ground for lasting
world peace could be laid If be-
tween Russia on one side and the
United States, Britain and France
on the other q final and deflnitive
settlement Of all issues could be
arranged!
Far From Reality.
What JOY could properly be dis
played in every city of the world If
all peoples knew-and could be
sure-that henceforth no European
issues would raise the specter of a
new devastating conflict! The cele-
bration could rival We day.
There is every reason for the
peoples of the world to desire and
seek a conclusive solution of East
West troubles in Europe. We all
want to get back to a normal world
in which our energies can be focused
on winning battles against the
enemies of all mankind, rather than
on winning battles against each
other.
Unfortunately, however, the idea
of a general European settlement
at this time is 50 far removed from
the realm of reality that 1t almost
seems like useless effort to assess the
chances of such san occurrence.
In the first place, If the Western
Allies make the offer which has
been attributed to them 1t will be
for the ultimate purpose Of merging
the German question into the
broader European question and
seeking to utilize the present crisis
over Berlin as turning point for
the stalemate which grips all OF
Europe.
This is not to imply any insin-
certify to the western governments,
for all of them want nothing more
than to be rid Of the troubles which
plague them in Europe. If any pro-
posal for a general settlement is
presented, 1t will be presented in all
good faith and with every desire to
arrive at such q settlement.

want civil war to break our exter-

he said that he would, if President,
end segregation in the United States

he would send Federal troops into
the South to end segregation and
Jim Crow.
This question Mr.. Wallace lodged
as he lodged all questions of sub

had asked the critical question. For

Launched

The hopes OF two decades cul.
minated in the launching of the
boat The Evangel Oh Monday
by the Rev. Glen Chandler, who
will use it as a floating chapel
around Kodiak Island.
The boat is sponsored by the
Women's American Baptist
Home Mission Society.
Largely constructed by Tom
Williams, the boat was put into
the water Monday at the float
ing dock at the Baptist Mission,
from which it made a run down
the channel and back. Since it
then became too rough to tie it
up at the dock, it was taken to
the City Dock.
While the boat was being
launched Ben Rice slipped ON
the deck and fell into the icy
water, but got out Immediately.
He suffered no i'll effects.
Mr. Chandler, who will be in
change of The Evangei, plans, as
soon as spring comes to inaugu.
rate a regular schedule around
the island, to serve the small
villages The boat is equipped to
show sound movies and slides
and the cabin will hold 90 or 80
persons for services.

arise, and will carry clothing
and other supplies around the is
