the representatives of the Western
powers to throw the matter to the
U. N. Security Council with the idea
of going to the General Assembly
when the Soviet veto stymies action
in the council.
The Western foreign ministers
move was prompted by their full
realization that the threat of war
a devastating war, far uglier than
any the world has ever known-is
imminent.
Up to the last minute the West
ern ambassadors at Moscow had
been under instructions from their
governments to be as conciliatory
and compromising as possible and
to accept almost any conditions
short of complete surrender to the
Kremlin-to solve the present tragic
situation.
Known From Beginning.
Nobody in the Western capitals
has been under the delusion that
the East-West conflict-Which CEN
tered on Berlin because the Soviets
chose that spot for the showdown
could be settled by the United Ma
tions. From the very beginning,
when the U N. was organized in the
1945 San Francisco conference, it
was known that the U. N. might be
capable of settling disputes between
lesser nations, but would not be in
position to do so when major ma
tions are involved, and particularly
if Russia ever goes on rampage
Today we are confronted with the
very problem which caused the
greatest apprehension to the states
men who created the U. N. Russia
has definitely decided that she
wants to dominate the world-start-
ing with Europe and Ashland there
is little, if anything, that the inter-
national organization can do about
it.
Washington diplomats, looking
realistically at the situation, believe
question of who is to control Ger
many can be amicably handled.
The record of the negotiations
indicates that the parleys mostly
concerned narrow points and not
the overall problems that have been
separating the East and West. Ap-
parently an effort was made by the
Western powers to get an agreement
to lift the blockade and arrange for
currency in Berlin without tackling
the broad questions that are behind
the whole cold war"
Diplomacy Seen Failure.
1t seems unfortunate that there
is a grave crisis over what kind of
marks shall circulate in Berlin or
how a central bank there is to
handle the issuance of currency.
Neither these small matters nor the
technical difficulties" that Russia
gave as an excuse for the blockade
are in themselves as vital as the
broad question of how Germany,
and particularly the Ruhr, shall be
governed in the future.
It would have been better If the
Allies had developed a plan for the
temporary lifting of the blockade
while all the bigger questions were
discussed. But evidently the West
ern representatives have all along

The Chinese peasants take the adj
vice Of the book as seriously as.they
do their religion. Every week or 50
there Is Z day which is inauspicious
for everything, SO the peasants stay
indoors and do nothing. And there
are many days when q mans activ-
tiles must be limited to one chore,
such as telling trees, making wine,
or placing grain mortars.
A prediction precedes each of the
chapters or Moons" The one be-
fore the Ninth Moon, which covers
most Of October, reads:
Frost on the first day Of the
month will harm the people. II no
rain occurs on the day Of Chung
Yang October 11th), the whole
winter will be fine: If red color is
seen in the sun there will be sick
ness; II thunder occurs the price
Of rice will rise"
Rainbows and the direction Of the
wind Is well handled by "A Year
Of the Rat" too. A rainbow In the
West on October q means that all
beans will be expensive, and If the
wind blows from the Southwest on
that day there will be worms in
water and trees, and horned cattle
will be expensive.
So don't ever say I didn't warn
you.

There isn't a catch in q carload.

Dewey's Efficient Odyssey Continues to
Please Local Politicos, Audiences

stage Just as 1t does from the front.
It Is efficient, courteous, and 1t never
relaxes.
The candidate never drops in on
the SO reporters accidentally or sug-
gests to any one Of them the loan
Of q scotch and soda. There is no
time for q press conference, which
wouldn't be successful anyway on so
crowded train. Ones legitimate
needs - advance copies Of the
speeches, warning Of telegraph ia
cilities, hotel rooms, etc.-these are
managed with superefdciency. But
there are no dividends Of personal
contacts, informal discussions Of the
actual political realities within the
various States or any hint of the
foreign news that is regularly 81
phoned into the Dewey car from
Paris and the State Department.
Mrs. Dewey Poised.
Mrs. Dewey takes her appointed
place in the frame Of reference. She
is invariably poised, gentle and sn1il-
ing. She is extremely pretty and
carefully costumed. Her slip never
shows and when she received re-
porter who was personal acquain-
tance she kept her hat on. Most Of
the reporters have no contact at all
with her.
1t is rather noticeable that on this
very long haul across the country
and back. no personal friend ac-
companies her. Instead she is
stated with a woman politician
from New York, who handles the
local women politicos as Ed jacket
does the men, and with her own
press agent.
She has yet to open her mouth in
public or to discuss any question
beyond her personal role as the wife
of the candidate. Her maternal
instincts, however, are not proof
against illness; if Mrs. Dewey hears
any one isn't well aboard the train,
it is she who fetches the doctor and
fuses over the afflicted one.
Already, one correspondent who
hoped over to the Dewey special
from the Truman train has sug-
gested witstfully that he Is homesick
to hear the President ut II o'clock
at night telling some bunch OF
sheepherders about those wicked
Wall streeters who are stealing the
West away from them. r-5,,s

kind that makes headlines, al.
though editors along the route con-
tinue to suggest wistfully that such
would be a real favor.
But if Gov. Dewey or even some
prominent member Of his entour-
age should make some thunder
ing bobble or lose his pants, temper
or dignity at q critical moment,
morale would zoom to the top OF
Mount Hood.
There doesn't seem to be much
chance. The Dewey unveiled on
this journey to meet the folks and
bail out suffering Senators is the
great white father who keeps all
things firmly under his hand. Ac-
cording to one reluctantly admir-
ing Democratic actress, he has even
managed to chicken" his voice to
suit the part.
Audiences Seem Satisfied.
. Papa, he seems to be saying,
knows best; he will take care OF
it; he understands. Controversy
and the horrid details Of how it
can be accomplished alike are BAN
ished.
It must be said that his audiences
seem satisfied. They continue to
turn out in great numbers and one
of those same no-headline speeches
in San Francisco got 80 rounds Of
real applause. Local politicos are
satisfied; he mentions their names
and always, gets them exactly
right, even to their nicknames and
precise pronunciation-and he
never leaves them with anything to
explain.

u, ). Officials in Dark
Over Cheekmating Of
Stain by PoIitburo
Publication of Record
OF PorIeys Seen Way to
Mobilize World Opinion
By David Laureace

Publication Of the full texts of the
record Of the lengthy negotiations
over the Berlin blockade does not
solve the mystery as to why Gen.
eralissimo Stain was checkmated by
his own military general and hui
inflated before all the world as a
man who either doesn't keep his
word or is prevented from doing SO
by one of his subordinates.
American officials are in the dark
as to the meaning of the inconsist-
ency They do not know whether
it represents a sharp split in the
Politburo over methods or whether
it merely reflects the day-by-day
changes in Soviet technique.
Clearly the three governments
Great Britain, the United States and
France-made public the documents
not to force any showdown of arms
but merely as a means of mobilizing
world opinion. The United Nations
is opportunely available as a forum
for discussion and there is likely to
be no act Of war, at least until the
debate has concluded.
Immediate War Doubted.
If Russia, however, intends war
and it may be that extremists inside
the Politburo think this is the time
for 1.-THE puzzle still presents it
self as to why aggression was not
begun earlier when it was so easy
for the Soviet armies to sweep over
all Europe in a few weeks.
Despite the outward appearance of
gravity and crisis, there are few
here who expect war to develop in
the immediate future. This view is
based on the theory that the Rus
slams will not commit acts of ag-
gression to bring on war but will
Quibble and harass the Western
powers up to the point of determin-
ing whether armed resistance to an
aggressive move will follow.
The airlift provides test. If the
Russians want trouble, they can
interfere with the transport planes
going to Berlin. This would lead
to an allied announcement of an
intention to provide support with
fighter planes. That would be the
climax. Then Russia would def
initely be confronted with a decision
as to whether she wants to force
q war. 1t may be necessary for the
Allies to 70 that far in order to
persuade Moscow that aggression
will be resisted.
1t will be admitted that the pres
ent controversy contains no issue
that cannot be easily resolved-cur-
rency and blockade problems are
simple enough-provided the basic

felt there was no use talking to
Russia, and the Soviets have prob
ably had the same impression about
the governments at Washington,
London and Paris.
But here there are rumors Of
another war-and Foreign Secretary
Bevin warns it will be an atomic
war-and somehow or other nobody
knows of any long-range policies
as to Germany having been form
ulated as yet among the Western
powers or by Russia. It seems a
tragic turn Of history that a war
should be fought over how to handle
defeated power from whom Russia
still fears a recurrent attack some
day. ea
Diplomacy has failed again to
steer the negotiations into peaceful
channels and has returned to the
open debate. Maybe it will return
to the negotiation stage again when
the extremists inside the Politburo
see that Stain was probably right
in his earlier efforts to make a COM
promise settlement.

This Changing World
Soviet Finally Has Sounded Death Knell
Of World Collective Security Idea

that the most that can be expected
from the General Assembly now
meeting ia Paris is a vote Of con-
fidence in the Western powers, thus
lining up the rest of the world
against Soviet aggressive intentions.
This is the optim!sts' view. But
there are those in the capitals of
the Western powers who fear that
the General Assembly may not even
have time to vote a resolution cas-
tigating the Soviet governments be-
havior.
There is increasing apprehension
that the Kremlin may press the but
ton for war, and either will order
the Red forces-comprising mostly
wild Mongolians-to dislodge the
token Western forces from Berlin, or
will order the Soviet-Sponsored Ger
man police" forces organized by
Field Marshal Won Paulus in Russia
during the war to take over Berlin In
the name of a German" govern
ment, which the Russians can create
overnight in the Eastern occupation
zone
Either step is possible, and there
is no action the U. N. can take
against it. The Russians have taken
good care to prevent the formation
of the international army which was
to be available to the U. N. for just
such emergencies.
Old Defense System.
Britain's Foreign Secretary Bevin
has warned the world that the
present crisis may result in third
world war, thus killing the idea of
cooperation. He de-
clared that the world may be COM
PEELED to return to the old regional
defense system.
In fact we are in that situation
now. The Western European bloc,
consisting of Britain, France, Bel
GUM, Holland and Luxembourg, is
in being. 1t is probable that
when the situation becomes more
critical other nations, such as Italy,
Spain and possibly Switzerland, may
be included. And they all look to the
United States, not only for economic,
financial and moral Encouragement,
but also for immediate active help.
The present conflict is enormously
considered a struggle between East
and West. It is primarily conflict
between the U. S. S. r. and the
United States, prompted by the de-
sire of the leaders in the Kremlin
to give a fatal blow now to prosper
Gus and free America. If they sue
ceed, the rest of the Western world
will be engulfed by the Asiatic
masses.
Hence, Western leaders on the
other side of the Atlantic are con-
vinced that there will be no delay
whatsoever on our part If the Red
masses start moving toward the
Rhine and the English Channel,
