On the Record
Only Likely Restraint on Russians
Is Seen as Fear of Atomic Bomb

no chance whatever for the saliva

Although the revival Of the Com
intern is, in essence, an act Of war
entirely incompatible with peaceful
relations between Communist and

better understood than Franklin D.
Roosevelt-any suggestion that Rus

is countered by the denial that 1t
exists.
Enforceable System Needed.
We do not even think 1t Is worth
while to propose total disarmament
Of all categories Of weapons beyond
those used in the normal policing Of
states-conscripted armies, general
stats, heavy artillery, battleships,
submarines, armed airplanes-sim-
ply because such universal disarm-
ament is impossible without an en-

law with constant supervision and
control, which the Russians, in prin-
ciple, reject.

ported to have remarked that the
weapons of destruction already in
use were quite powerful enough for
his taste.
But If there Is any restraint on
the Russians 1t Is the fear Of the
atomic bomb. The Allies would be
wise to consider q parable. attributed
to Mr.. Churchill, and republished
the other day, which concerned dis
armament conferences.
Parable of the Beasts.
In the parable. the wild beasts
held a disarmament conference. The
lion, observing the eagle, proposed
the abolition Of wings. The tiger,
observing the bull, proposed the
abolition of horns. The bull, OBJ
serving the tiger, proposed the aboli-
ton Of claws. And the bear sug-
gested that all these categories
should be abolished and he would
receive all into his warm embrace.
In all disarmament conferences
which occur In times Of crisis. the
purpose Of each disputant is to dis
arm the other Of the particular
weapons in which the opponent is
superior. Had the Russians q we'll

craft engaged in the Frankfurt
Berlin shuttle is SO heavy that by
next spring it is probable that none
of the planes will be of any real
use, according to experts on the
subject.
But a greater worry to those who
look at things realistically is the
fact that If the Russians should
make surprise attack during the
election period or the Christmas
holidays, they could destroy all the
airlift transports, either by bonn
bardment of the western zone air
fields or by sabotage.
The Japanese did this on Decem-
ber Z at Pearl Harbor, when they
attacked not only the Pacific Fleet
but also the airfields where our
planes were neatly lined up. With
that sorrowful experience in mind,
many officials in Washington are
worried over what might happen If
the Russians used a similar strategy.
There is little difference between
conditions as they existed in the Pa
cific in November and December,
1941, and those that exist today in
Europe. The loss of most Of our air
transports might be as serious as
the loss of warships and planes on
December 7, 1941.
Little Marshall Can Do.
So long as the Moscow govern
ment refuses to entertain any sug-
gestion for settlement of the Berlin
question except on terms which are
aimed at the diplomatic humiliation
Of the Western powers-and par
ticularly the United States-there is
little that Secretary of State Mar
shall can do except stick to his guns.

The Kremlin knows that it car

cheap price of making q gesture
to save the Western powers from
humiliation.
It is generally admitted that the
choice of Berlin as our political bat
tleground with the USSR has beer
unfortunate. Strategically an
logistically the former German capi'
tai is a liability to us. But once
we had announced formally that
we would not yield to Red pressure
there was nothing we could do but
stick 1t out.
Airlift Expensive and Risky.
Our adventure in Berlin is expen-
sive and risky. The airlift is cost
ing the American taxpayers an av-
erage Of $40,000,000 a month. This
includes the cost of the supplies
the gasoline used by planes shutting
between Frankfurt and Berlin and
the wear and tear on the planes
themselves.
But what worries many military
men more than the actual cost Ii
the fact that we have denuded our
selves of a large proportion Of the
available military air transport in
this country and In the Pacific in
order to make Operation Vittles'
a spectacular success.

Norman Thomas Sees
Peace Peril in Asia
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.-Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President. said tonight that "condi-
tions in Asia might be more danger
GUS to world peace than conditions
in Europe"
I'm that great continent popula-
tions are on the increase as II by
explosion" he told a Socialist din
ner meeting here. It was billed as
his major address of the campaign
on foreign policy.
"The wretchedness of economic
conditions invite Communist exploit
tation and the passions of national
ism burn furiously," he said.
Mr.. Thomas added "it Is indeed
important that these areas should
not be turned over to Stains i'm
perialism but the remedy does not
lie In blindly clinging to the Western
colonialism Of the 18th century"
Specifically discussing China, Mr..
Thomas said:
ideally, the hope of China lies
In the development of democratic
forces almost equally opposed to the
new style tyranny Of communism
and the corruption and ineficiency
OF Chang Kai-shek's regime,
IF I were President of the United
States, I should not feel justified in
pouring money and perhaps ulti-
mately the lives Of young Americans
into the business of snoring up the
unpopular government of the clique
around Chang Kai-shek.
Il should want to do all that could
be done economically to aid peace
full China and, by persuasion and
economic aid, to stay the march Of
communism"
