to be sheer innocence:
Whatever happened to the
United Nations?"
Whatever did? A good ques-
ton. Probably millions of others
in this country and the world are
asking it,
It is noted now that there is
creeping into the official cam
paign on behalf of the Atlantic
Pact the suggestion that this re-
gional arrangernent-which. in
cidentally. takes in = rather
diverse group of isations-may be
! the beginning of another United
Nations. This regional pact, 1t is
intimated, would be hooked upewith
the one we have already with
Latin American republics. Then
there would be a Mediterranean
Pact and a Pacific Pact and so
on until, presto, we'll have another
United Nations. including prac-
tically everybody but Russia.
Good Excuse.
II Russia wants to come in after
it gets all fixed up, then all right.
But If she doesn't, and if she
wants to start anything after she
gets all hemmed in, then all the
rest Of us will be ready for her.
and she won't dare. At least
that's the thesis. 1t may be
sound, and again it may not, for
there is a human tendency of
those who get hemmed in to try
desperately to break out.
1t Is a good excuse, anyhow, as
history demonstrates. In start
ing the last two world wars Ger
many complained she was being
hemmed in and so convinced her
people. It is good psychology for
those who want to expand to say
they are hemmed in. and to add
to that some fiowery. If illogical,

blood or race or ideals or eco

such as Germany did in Europe
and Japan did in Asia with her
talk about an East Asia Co-Pros-
perity Sphere orr whatever the
phrase was. Russia talks like
that, too. Nor are we entirely
guiltless, for though we have no
aims whatever of expansion, we
speak glibly Of bringing the "de-
mocracies" under our cover, and
our pact is getting beyond such,
for they are not too plentiful In
the world today.

The request that all officials in

regarded to mean that an entirely
new set of officials will be placed
in responsible positions-and they
will be- handpicked by the Com

Error Of Policy.
Some Chinese experts" in the
State Department have main
tanned in recent years that this
country need not be concerned
over Mao TIE -tung and his aides
taking over China, since they pay
only lip service to Moscow and are;
in fact, only "agrarian reformers."
They expressed their firm belief
that once the corrupt 'Kuomin-
tang government. and particularly
it's key men around Chiang Kali
sflek, were removed, We would be
able to continue our traditional
friendly relations with China
through the Communist leaders.
These arguments were accepted
at face value by our policy makers.
who were convinced that we would
be able to deal with Mao and his
associates. This belief was akin
to Washington's, conviction prior
to. 1947 that we need entertain no
fears that Russia would not sin

full reconstruction of the world
and that she had no real expan-
sionist designs on her nelghbors.

The aim of the projected alli-
ances is to preserve peace by arm
ing ourselves all over the world It
is defensive. negative. and old as
man and has proved futile for
centuries. It can do nothing but
start an arms race and that is not
only costly but dangerous. That is
the reason for the questions raised
in Congress about the proposed
program, supplementary to the
pact, to supply arms to Western
Europe, while there is general ac-
ceptance of the pact itself.
The U. N. was q weak sort OF
vessel from the start. 1t got stalled
with the veto which permitted
big power domination. and while
achieving something in the eco
nomic and social field, it has failed
completely of two basic objectives.
One Is disarmament including
atomic control; the other. an in
ternational police force to check
aggression. For all this Russia is
much to blame, but not altogether.
The Atlantic Pact and the pro-
jected extension of such regional
arrangements are but the inevi-
table result of a policy that
started with the Truman doctrine
in Greece and Turkey which was
thought necessary to counter Rus
sian expansion. 1t established a
which could lead no
where else.
There was another direction,
choice. which was to pro-
ceed boldly to make the U. N. a
real world government, a positive
force. for which the world
yearned. But nowhere in the
world was there leadership for
such a course and so we find the
U. N. disintegrating in a series of
secession movements. The whole
world has hemmed itself in with
concepts and prejudices.

The House of Representatives last
weekend passed an appropriation
totalling $l,200,000 for payment and

The appropriation is the first to

It is part of the Department of
Justices multi-million dollar budget
requests.
The SI,2OO.OOO fund was appro-
we'd by the House as part of the
Justice Departments regular ap-
preparation for the next fiscal
year which begins July l. The bill
stipulated that Sl,OOO.OOO will be
used for payment of claims, and
100000 is for administrative eX-
penses.
An additional $248OO. to be used
for administrative purposes in con-
nection with claims payments is
expected to be approved shortly as

While expressing satisfaction that
the major appropriation was appro

priation to be made for evacuation

claims and the payment of 400 OF

ney General for claims of $500 OF

Under the Claims act. awards OF
over $500 must be submitted sep
arately to Congress for payment,

be paid by the Attorney General
