The Palestine Statement.
Onicial silence is maintained about
the State Department, where leaks
such as the abortive Vinson mis-
sion and Undersecretary Lovett's
cryptic Palestine comments this
week have given the Republicans so
much ammunition. But when Mr..
Truman gets around to writing his
memoirs, that would be a good place
to dip into first.
This is the history Of the Pales-
tine statement which Mr.. Lovett
has enwrapped In a fog hurtful to
the President because 1t tends to
substantiate old charges that he
shoots from the hip In foreign
policy:
1t had been decided that q clari-
flying statement on Palestine must
be made before November 2. Gov.
Dewey was thought to have stuck
his neck out in some remarks on 1t
last week, thereby af7ording a peg
on which the White House might
hang its remarks. AS the President

Will to Use Power.
No government can be stronger
externally than 1t Is internally.
True, there are riffs within the
satellite states of the Soviet Union.
But totalitarian states have a
simple way Of overcoming such dis
sensions. They liquidate the dis
senters, and terrorize potential
suspects. Wishful thinkers always
hope such purges will lead to col
lapse. but so far they never have.
AS long as the government has
the guns, the secret police and the
will to use them, 1t has the effective
power. Hitler survived the Roehm
plot; Stain survived, and was
strengthened by, the 1936-37 purges;
and Mussolini survived the hostility
Of the Italian people to the war.
No to.alitarian state ever has beer
overthrown except by external force.
So again I ask: Why should the
Soviets retreat, except for tactical
reasons. on either the military or
political front?
Theodore Roosevelt used to say
Speak softly and carry big stick
When we had big stick - the
mightiest armed force ever mobi-
lized-we spoke softly and gave the
Russians everything they wanted

This Changing World v
U.N. Delegates Marking Time in Paris
Pending Results of American Election

Mr.. StimsonS messenger informed
Mr.. Roosevelt that the Secretary of
State would be glad not only to
open up every file in his possession
but also would follow the views OF
the incoming administration. He
was willing to do anything the fu-
ture Secretary of State desired.
The hottest question at that time
was the conflict with Japan, caused
by the invasion of Manchuria. Mr.
Roosevelt did not fully accept the
offer of Mr.. Stimson, because he
had not made up his mind on who
should become Secretary of State
But he did send to the State De-
partment one of his youthful BRAIN
trusters, just to make contact.
Situation Different Now.
The situation is different now
The Republicans have been kept in
formed about everything that has
been done in the State Department
in the last 18 months concerning
the bipartisan policy. Moreover,
Gov. Dewey, unlike Mr.. Roosevelt
Is years ago. seems to have decided
to appoint the man who has al
ready been in closest touch with
our recent foreign policy. Hence
there will be no interruption in the
State Departments activities after
the smoke of political battle clears
away next week.
Eventually there will be some
drastic changes in ambassadorial
personnel, but these shifts are no
longer of much importance. Am
bassadors today are little more than
exalted messengers, whose job is to
repeat faithfully to foreign govern
ments the teletyped instructions
they receive from Washington.
Neither will the inevitable
changes in the top-ranking officials
of the State Department make any
difference in the overall foreign
policy of the United States.
The present Allied line Of con-
duct, described as firm patience,
will be continued, regardless of the
result at the polls next Tuesday.
After the final results are known,
the American delegation at the
U. N. will take its cue either from
Gen. Marshall, II Mr.. Truman Is
returned to the White House, or
from Mr.. Dulles, If Gov. Dewey is
elected.
The policies will not change, but
more action is expected to follow,
not only on the East-West con-
flict, but also on other matters
such as the undeclared Arab-Jew-
ish war in Palestine. q new effort
to end the Communist aggression
in Greece. resumption of ambassa-
dorial relations with Spain, and
other matters which at present
occupy the minds not only Of
American policy-makers but also
those of Western Europe, the Mid
die East and the Far East.

suit and cheap cotton sweater that

directly aimed at Dorothy Thompson.
France-his moving into the Rhine
land and scrapping the treaty OF
Locarno-occurred when France was
without a government. The tnsta-
bility of French governments, the
shifting coalitions which continually
composed them, resulting in con-
flicting pressures and weak compro-
misses, continual falls of government
and indecisive reconstitutions of
them, contributed between the wars
to loss of French influence In
Europe, and in some measure to
French defeat.
Whatever may be ones attitude
toward the personality of Gen. De
Gauile, he at least saw that
fourth republic which embodied all
the structural weaknesses Of its de-
funct predecessors probably would
repeat their experiences. He stood
and stands, for a constitutional
structure with strong executive
and division of powers-the kind OF
government which makes possible
real leadership in q crisis.
Weakness Is Glaring.
The Communists, naturally, want
ed a weak government-the better
to overthrow it. But other and
moderate parties supported the con-
stitution that won, out of fallacy
regarding the danger of dictator
ship. Usurpers overthrow weak con-
stitutional orders, not strong ones.
The moment for the dictator ar
rives when the legitimate govern
ment demonstrates its incapacity to
keep order, as in italy, during the
strikes that paralyzed the nation a
year before Mussolinis march; as
in Germany, when the democratic
forces yielded to violent pressures
from Nazis and Communists; and
as in Spain.
Today the weakness of the French
government is glaring. and alarm
ing. The third force'-a coalition
of parties at loggerheads with each
other over many questions-fears
new elections from which all its
components might suffer, and keeps
itself in power not by governing,
which would require unity, but by
not governing-thus avoiding the
issues over which it might split and
fall.
Such a government" or antigov-
ernment. is a dubious ally in a
crisis. Frances contribution to the
dispute over Berlin has been a
Communicated strike in the coal
areas, which is paralyzing the eco
nomic life of the nation and has
taken on the characteristics of a
rebellion perilously close to civil
war. While we were asking France
to join with us in admcnishing the

We are against war because it is contrary
