sake of an understanding with
the Russians.
Leaving out the fact that the
Yalta agreements gave the Rus
slams all the advantages they
wanted, and are responsible. In
part at least, for the present tragic
situation in the world. conditions
are different today from what
they were then. The relationship
established between Russia and
America at Yalta can be compared
to a marriage of convenience. In
compatibility was proved within
two years.
Rift Caused by Russia.
It was not America, however
which was to blame for the rift
Russia herself became SO moody
unmanageable and exacting that
we inevitably reached a parting OF
the ways. We and our associates
among the Western powers are
willing and anxious to resume cor
dial relations with the Soviet
Union. But this must be preceded
by some positive action on the
part of the Russians to show that
the Kremlin really wants such
relations-permanently.
In discussing the situation prl.
vately President Truman Is said
to have asked what purpose a
meeting with Mr.. Stain possibly
could have. There is nothing
that the two men can decide be-
tween themselves concerning the
fate of their own and other ma
tions. The rift is not caused by
any differences over Americas
selfish interests, but by the ag-
gressive actions of Russia all over
the world.
We no longer live in the 18th
century, when emperors-God's s
anointed, according to their own
view-could settle the fate OF
millions of people by agreements
between themselves. We fought
two costly wars to establish the
right of free peoples to live free
ly. The only thing that Mr..
Stain could offer Mr.. Truman In
secret conversations would be a
suggestion that we divide the
world between ourselves. reserv-
ing the lions share, Of course, Tor
the Red dictatorship.
Norway's case is typical OF Rus
sia's concept Of international ne
gotiations. Because that sover-
eign state did not accept Mos
cows suggestion" to enter into
a nonaggression pact. and chose
instead to investigate the North
Atlantic pact, she is now under
such heavy pressure from the
Kremlin that her government
fears more drastic" action dur
ing the next few months.

Boyle Handles Patronage
Democratic Committee Trumanized
Through White House Back Door

/ Montana and Robert Jackson of
New Hampshire.
That Roosevelt purge was sue
cessful. If its victims thought the
Roosevelt position over cynical,
with respect to them. they held
their peace and quit the commit
tee promptly.
There has never been any ques-
ton of the Presidents personal
aggressive honesty nor has Mr..
Boyle's conduct of his affairs been
called in question. In fact, while
other Missourians have found the
White House door barred to them
because the President felt they
were trespassing against old
friendship. Mr.. Boyle has stayed
conspicuously in the Truman good
graces.
Spending Opens Up vistas.
But advocates of paid personnel
at the committee suggest tn a t
human nature remains substan-
TALLY the same and that the stu
pendous spending Of the Federal
Government opens up very large
vistas indeed which 1t Is idle not
to acknowledge.
Those who had hoped that the
Presidents great patronage and
party powers might be mobilized
through the committee to serve
the Truman social and economic
program are likewise disappoint-
ed. Mr.. Boyle has been a success
full politician and he is loyal to
Mr.. Truman; his interest in the
program is confined to its effects
on the Presidents political for
tunes. It Is another case Of the
President putting a man In a po-
sition that could be important to
his Fair Deal who is not q Fair
Dealer by conviction or expert
ence.
The President never has tried
to take advantage Of what service
the committee might render him
in this field. More and more he
makes 1t clear that he regards 1t
merely as a housekeeping agency
useful only for channeling lower
echeion Jobs. It is a concept
which naturally reduces the i'm
portance and the usefulness to his
program Of the committee men,
bers within the States. And their
acceptance of this role represents
in a very real sense their abdi-
cation.
