IL was llOG lOullO S'
possible to consider the relatively
minor question of providing not a
gift, but a loan for erection Of the
United Nations headquarters.
AS a peace organization the U. N.
has lost much of its standing be-
cause of some signal failures. Those
failures undoubtedly Influenced
members of the United States Con-
gress to ignore the fact that the
organization at Lake Success, re-
gardless of its fortunes in the last
year, still holds mankind's hopes for
a peaceful world when and If the
great powers can settle their dlf-
ferenceS and find a basis for CO.
operation.
Operating on Shoestring.
When the United Nations was Gre
ated in 1945 it was believed that the
American people would support such
an international peace-preserving
agency. Accordingly, when the
question of a site for the world cap
ital was discussed, the United
States was considered the logical
home for the organization which
the world hoped would keep peace.
The United Nations has been op-
Grating on a shoestring. Ever since
its creation, 1t has lacked the means
to do the job it was intended to do.
This has been true not only of its
peace-enforcing machinery, but of
it's physical equipment as we'll.
Elaborate plans were drawn for
erection of a world capital on Man.

The most interesting view of the
kind I saw today at Harold Stas-
sens reception. She was a lady
who was broad in the beam and
she had emphasized that breadth by
choosing for her dress print
covered with enormous cabbage
roses. She showed them up and they
showed her up. Yet should call
her one of the best-dressed women
I ever saw in my life, for when one
saw those great lusty roses one sus-
pected that only a hearty being
would choose them, and when one
went round to the front one found
that she had indeed happy and
hopeful face, and realized that she
had got just the effect she wanted.
Couldn't Look Like Vogue.
She had been eager to wear some
thing pretty when she went to the
convention, and she liked this print,
and she knew that nothing would
make her look like Vogue cover, so
she had the dress made and hoped
that other people would like the
roses as much as she did. Then
she stopped worrying.
She knew that there were other
things which mattered more. Her
eyes were at that moment shining
brightly because she had shaken

the world permanently into

world into two permanent armed

There will be no recovery and,
therefore, no peace and stability
until the Soviet Union frees ali
Europe and retires to the Curzon

Is that impossible? II we assume
that the Soviets believe the time is

is impossible. But Soviet politicians
are no less opportunists than others
and the Soviet situation is not the
best in the world. 1t is doubtful
whether Nhe stooge governments

The Golden Mean
Mrs. Smith Won Maine Race for Senate
Stunning Old Low Level of Backbitins

Mrs. Smith will make the best
kind of show window. Her depth of
character and nerve showed when
she risked a safe seat, to which she
was five times elected, to gamble
on the Senate. Because that dis
trict had large industries she had
to steer a conscientious course on
labor policy. She voted against the
Case and Smith Connolly bills and
for the Tatt-Hartley law. Her serv-
ice on Naval Affairs. now Armed
Services, had equipped her with the
reasons for the internationalist
votes she cast. 1t is solid founda-
lion for Senate career.
She succeeds the retiring majority
leader, Wallace White. 1t means on
Senate roll calls less conservative
vote than Mr.. Whites, a vote re-
hecting better the changed cfrcum-
stances and conditions of the pres
ent Gay. Neither rubber stamp nor

if she had the delusion that to get

people rarely give one chance to
talk down to them unless they know

Stassen and politics were far more
important than the effects of cab
bage roses on her comfortable con-
vexity-a very happy relationship
for a woman to have with her
clothes.
That was typical Of the effect pro-
duced on me by Mr.. Stassen's fol-
lowers; not that many of them have
not slender figures and elegant gar
ments. But they are, for the most
part, happy people for whom first
things come first. I would have been
dubious if anybody had told me be-
fore I came to the convention that
after a few days one can look at a
face and tell without looking which
candidates button will be in the
buttonhole. But after a few days
one can make pretty good guess.
And I must own that whenever I
see an attractive young person of a
special Intellectually optimistic type,
who has the enchanting look of
wanting to pass his or her youth
on to the world and find some new
way of living that will take the old
tired lines off it's face, take for
granted that I have seen a follower
of Mr.. Stassen. The hold he has
on the best people under 30 is
one of the most remarkable things
that have struck me in Philadelphia.
AS a stranger I do not know how
good he is, but he must have some
thing good in him to have got hold
of these young people, and he will
have to be very good indeed to de-
serve them, and the older support
ers of his who fall into a specially
category.
Pleasant People.
In his reception line there stood
a lot of men and women who are
like the people one sees from trains
One sees them stand in pleasant
little towns in front Of pleasant
and one knows that all that
pleasantness must be their work, for
there was nobody else to do It. Now
one saw them standing in front of
Mr.. Stassen in that state of mind
which always makes the idealist
political movements which start in
the Middle West so attractive to
read of. They knew they had built
a region well by the work of their
own hands and characters and now

Might Pick Other Site.
1t would be distinct loss to the
United States and the role which the
American people will be called on
to play in future world events if the
United Nations were forced to seek
another home on American
soil.
The presence of the United Ma
tions in this country has done as
much to awaken the consciousness
of American citizens to their role in
world affairs as have all of the po-
litical speeches, platform declara-
tons and pious assertions of diplo-
mats.
Contrary to the belief Of many
members of Congress and many
members of the American electo-
rate, the United Nations deserves
the support of the American peo-
pie and the Congress which repre-
sents them.
1t may not be able to solve every
international controversy. 1t may
not be able to solve every difference
over the kind of world in which We
are to live. But it has had sig
nificant success in some fields and
it's continued success in reducing the
possible causes of war will depend
upon the support which it receives
from all of its members.
U. S. Was Wise Choice.
The United States wisely was Sc
lected as the home for the worlds
greatest undertaking in behalf of
peace. 1t needed help in order to
establish the physical medium in
which it was to operate. 1t request
ed that help of the United States
Congress; but Congress, jammed in
the completion of its duties, was un-
able to heed the request.
1t is desirable that the United Ma
tions not be moved from American
soil If the United Nations can
struggle along until the next Con-
gress convenes, greater opportunity
will be found for obtaining the loan
which is required in order to build
the United Nations capital.

an eight-year record of moderate
conservatism, preparedness and in
ternationalism. 1t frequently had
put her Left of the House leader
ship which, agreeing with Repre-
sentative John Taber that she was
not hard-shell enough, denied her
seniority earned place on the Ap-
propriations Committee.
Mrs. Smith carefully and quietly
explained her record over the State
She never mentioned her opponents
and never derided President Truman
or Roosevelt or others who were
working on the same problems.
And as Glare Luce and Gov. Green
were earning easy applause with
gags about Is years of depression
and war, Mrs. Smith was leading a
present and past Governor, both
able men with private fortunes and
scandal-free administrations.
Did Not Look for Favors.
BY the time her party's practical
men were resolving the presidential
deadlock in Gov DeWey's favor,
Maine reported more votes cast for
| Mrs. Smith than for her three men
opponents together.
1t is not a feminist victory, al
! though the size of her vote indicates
that women stood by her with some
solidarity The woman angle on
Mrs. Smiths election is that she as
sumed all the sponsibilities that go
with the privileges women now
share with men. She did not look
to men for favors. She worked by
the rules and standards of the House
and served the people of her dis
trict, while taking an intelligent
interest in large problems.
In fact, moderation is her gift
She is in person the golden mean:
She is attractive but not glossy; she
is not great: she is good; she is not
eloquent. she only tells honestly
what she is doing and why.
Mrs. Smith will be the first
career woman Senator-the first to
be elected on merit without the
backing of a State machine, and
the first to have served her appren-
ticeship at the slow, dull tasks of
the House.
She owes her seat only to her
own courage and character and to
the people of Maine, who in the
biblical phrase have now said:
We'll done thou good and faith
full servant, you have been faithful
in little things, I will place thee
over many" 1t was State tradi-
ton to promote good House mem
bers, and Maine did not break it
because the member was woman.
Speaker Martin, COP Chairman
Reece and others telephoned their
congratulations and asked her to
make an appearance here. Before
she heard from them early Tues
day she had only planned to go
back to her desk in Washington and
catch up on the accumulation there.
Party Owes Her Much.
That modesty and lack of dash
have prevented Mrs. Smith from be-
coming as we'll known as now she
will begin to be. But her party ac-
tually owes her much. 1t has suf-
fered long from its rather undue
proportion of orchid-bearers; it has
now cutdone the Democrats whose
Senators while the pioneers-Mrs
Caraway and Mrs. Long-actually
made no dent in the Senate scene.
