Like a man in the dentists chair
they sit dumbly and wait for the
worst to happen. At times they
seem even to have got past the
point of wincing when the drill
hits nerve as in the current
spy revelations. The impression
given is that they are only wait
ing for 1t to be over.
Like a Funeral Home.
Democratic headquarters has all
the vivacity of a funeral home.
Democrats in Congress have been
taking their own sweet time about
attending sessions and few bother
to attend the sparse committee
hearings the Republicans have al
lowed or 60 to the floor. This situa-
tion got to be such scandal that
special efforts are now being made
to arrange some fireworks for ad-
journment if not before, with in
terested parties preparing power
full diatribes that Senators and
Representatives seem unable to
think up for themselves.
But up to now the Republicans
have had it all their own way with
no comments from the sidelines.
Their Presidential candidate, the
sheltered" Governor Of New York,
has rested undisturbed in the half
in, half-out position he prefers to
take on controversial matters. No
rude questions by Democrats have
intruded upon him.
The barrage laid down by Re-
publicans against the special ses-
sion has not been adequately
countered. The transparent Re-

looked as if it had come from a

I stepped out of a creaking old
taxi (said to have been a gift from
Noah to Job), followed by my

Old and New City.
No city In the world can of1er
such q contrast between the old and
the new as can Ankara. The old
part of the city known then as An
gora) dates back to the time OF
the Romans and is still thickly in
habited. AS you know, the new city
was created from barren plain
by Ataturk in 1928. There was not
50 much as a tree or a bush when
Ataturk said, "Get to work-we will
create the new capital of new Tur-
key right here" It's as modern as
Washington, D. c., and nearly as
pretty. All done in IS years. The
streets are tree-shaded, the gar
dens are magnificent. and the build
ings majestic.
With special police permission we
visited Atatllrk'S tomb. It is a tenn
porary tomb, a new and more mag

struction. But the quiet dignity OF

ing Big Four conference which
could have for it's purpose settle
ment Of all outstanding issues be-
tween East and West.
Such an agreement will necessi-
tate, from our standpoint, the lift
ing of the Berlin blockade. If
Prime Minister Stain has agreed
to do that, it is possible to look
ahead to what could develop in the
immediate future. 1t is particul-
arly desirable to do this, because
of the extreme secrecy which the
State Department has thrown
around the whole matter Of even
approaching Prime Minister Stain.
Deductions Can Be Drawn.
1t was known in Washington last
week-but was unprintable under
conditions attached to the disclos-
ure-that an attempt was being
made to carry the Berlin crisis to
Prime Minister Stain. Some at
tempt has even been made to throw
newspapermen off the scent as to
what will be taken up in aW pros
pective Big Four conference, and
it was even vigorously denied that
anything broader than the question
of Germany is being suggested as
the topic.
Against this whole background of
mystery and secrecy it is not likely
that any conclusions will be dis
closed until they are final and COM
plete. However, certain deductions
can be drawn from the known facts
of what has gone on in Moscow.
In the first place the strategy of
carrying the whole question to Prime
Minister Stain suggests the climactic
nature of the whole discussions. We
are at a crossroads Of history where
the course of our whole future may
Evening star., 1948-08-04
This Changing World
Future of Nation May Well Be Decided
In Diplomatic Discussions at Moscow

well be decided, for unless events
operate now in q positive way for
peace, the only other prospect is
conflict and the only remaining
question viii below long?
In the second place, the approach
to Prime Minister Stain this time
was made by three Western Allies
in unison, contrary to the fiasco of
last April when Ambassador Walter
Bedell Smith, apparently as the re-
suit of imperfect decisions in the
State Department, andior the White
House, made what many persons be-
lieve was an overture to get negotia-
tions started again with the Rus
slams without giving any hint OF
weakness. Gross ineptitude in our
whole approach at that time pro-
vided the Russians. with propaganda
ammunition which they promptly
used against us.
Mistakes Being Avoided.
The mistakes of April are being
avoided this time, and care is be-
ing taken to avoid providing the
Russians with fresh propaganda am
munition.
In the third place, even if we are
informed that agreement has been
reached on lifting the Berlin block
ade and the holding Of Big -Four
conference, the prospects Of agree
ment in such a conference have
two strikes against them, on the
basis of past experience.
That is to say, simply, that
genuine optimism over prospects for
peace must await the Big Four meet
ing 1t would be the gravest kind
of mistake to assume that East
West relations are definitely on the
road to settlement if in return for
negotiation the Russians lift the
Berlin blockade.
Resumption Of negotiations is, of
course, the first necessary step on
the road to settlement, but it has
nothing to do with actual solution
OF the issues.
Vigilance must be maintained
Restoration of the national defense
must 60 on. The American people
must not let themselves become
psychoiogically disarmed to the ex-
tent that failure Of the prospective
Big Four conference will come as
a terrific jolt and cause for despair.
We will all feel lot better in the
long run If we receive the news from
Moscow with just little skepticism
and disposition to defer any re-
joicing until we see what finally
comes from this new approach for
peace, and above all how the Rus
slams carry out their part of any
def1nitive agreement.

On the Record
Youth in Wallace Movement Called
Assemblage of Problem Children

There was nothing wrong, either,
with the intellects Of the Nazi
leaders. Intelligence tests showed
many of them to be on the
genius" level. They also combined
a pathological capacity for cruelty
with extreme sentimentality. Goer-
ing loved animals; Hess was a mys-
tic; Hitler's massacre of the Jews
was justified as a crusade for
purity" Robespierre, Marat and
Lenin were all idealists, with only
painful prediction for cutting
off heads.

Exceptions to Inertia.
There have been exceptions to
the inertia. Representative Helen
Gahagan Douglas, California Demo-
crat, put Speaker Martin on the
spot with regard to housing Monday
when she swiftly moved for sus-
pension of the rules so the Taft
Ellender-Wagner bill might be
considered. The Speaker, plainly
annoyed, announced that all such
requests had to be cleared through
the majority leader and refused tc
entertain the motion.
Senator Pepper at the same time
was ironically leading Senate
Leader Wherry through the Presi-
dents recommendations and getting
from him admissions that little
could be expected regarding them.
Obviously the Republicans have
the votes and no legislation could
be forced past them. But the op-
portunity to spotlight their onis-
sions with their reasons therefore
is dribbling away.
The spy scare is also beyond
Democratic control but there also
answers could be made and motives
could be spotlighted, including the
question of the timing of the hear
ings which 50 effectively steal the
headlines.

bilities But 1 shared with Miss
West the impression Of distinctly
disagreeable characteristics.
Self-Righteous, Impertinent.
Two of these were self-righteous-
ness and impertinence. I already
have spoken of the admonitions of
one young woman that "tell the
truth" with the obvious implication
that this was not my usual pursuit.
When Paul Robson appeared,
crowd of young women, who had
poured into the press field, greeted
him with delighted shrieks.
Another characteristic was their
avid response to hatred. A fourth
was susceptibility to sentimentality;
and q fifth was an extraordinary
lack of humor. Although these
young people Joined hands with
their Negro fellow countrymen," i"
they gave frenzied applause to
speeches splitting class hatred; yet
they mooned with delight at Sem

1t repeatedly was made apparent
that their love for one part of the

My impression was that Of re-
markable assemblage of problem
children, who were finding in the
Wallace movement sublimation for
personal Illustrations and revolts.
They were distinctly the intel
lectual" type of know-it-all which
manages to get itself heartily dis
liked by its contemporary COM
rades, and thus be pushed of into
an isolated clique. Young people
of this caliber congratulate each
