On the Record
Soviet Note to Tito Appears to Wreck
Any Hope for Austrian Peace Treaty

likewise my concern"
But. says the Soviet note to
Tito. independence and integrity
do not prohibit rectiflcation of
frontiers. Though . division Of
Austria was a reactionary meas
ure,", dividing it (by looping of
areas of great strategical and
economic Importance does not
constitute division! BY this time,
constant reader is boggle-eyed but
not confused, as neither will the
Austrians be. For 1t is clear that,
If q Cominform government sup
planted Tito, Yugoslav claims on
Austria would be renewed.
Other Soviet Claims.
In London the prospects OF
peace for Austria have been re-
treating rather than advancing
even apart from this question,
which everyone thought had been
settled. Other Soviet claims fur
ther reveal their extraordinary
notions Of the meaning Of SOW
ereignty and independence. In
claiming German" assets. the
U. 8. S. r. is demanding perma-
nent and irrevocable rights over
Austrian resources, and an extra
territorial status in regard to
Soviet enterprises that would put
them outside Austrian law: and
is insisting that Austria be for
hidden to employ any foreign
technicians in rebuilding her
armed forces or in her civil
aviation.
What Russia actually Is pro-
posing is the withdrawal of all
armed forces and the substitution
of a permanent. exclusively Rus
sian, economic and political occu-
patton.
Thus the only achievement of
the Paris conference founders, as
usual, on the fact that Russian
words cannot be translated into
terms understandable to civilized
men. BY . remarkable hocus
pocus, everything turns out to
mean the opposite of what it
seems to mean.
Perhaps the destruction of
language Is the worst atrocity that
this barbarous land and move
ment have committed.

which they hope will ease the
crisis.
According to quarters close to
the officials who will meet daily at
the State Department, the pres
ent discussions may go much Tar
ther than the question of tempo
rary relief for the hard-pressed
British. The moving spirit OF the
conference unquestionably is the
practical, hard-headed and sur
prisingly imaginative British For
eign Secretary Bevin.
Economic Zone World"
A hint of what may be expected
was contained in the statement
of the British cabinet officer when
the delegation arrived in New
York. He spoke Of zone world"
of the free and democratic ma
tions.
This statement was interpreted
to mean that an economic lone
world" of countries outside the
iron curtain necessarily must
come into existence, If the politi-
cal lone world" already in exist
ence, is to survive.
Mr.. Bevin is credited by many
observers in Washington with hav-
ing unofficially fathered the Mar
shall Plan and the Atlantic pact.
Hints and suggestions, skillfully
and tactfully conveyed to Wash
ington, caused our top officials to
open their minds to such ideas,
when it became obvious that
Russia would not play ball.
The shrewd British labor leader,
while outwardly still enthusiastic
over the United Nations and all it
stands for, is said to be fully
aware that under existing circum-
stances that great forum Is not
able to accomplish its purposes.
Without suggesting changes he
reached the conclusion that only
new democratic United Nations
could defend the interests of
countries where constitutional
governments are in power.
The Marshall Plan, with all it's
shortcomings. was the first step
toward clarif1cation of political
conditions in Europe. It succeeded

Within a minute or two he had

but that was about all.
In less than the time a matador

It was then that he was halted.

he would wind up in jail, decided
to see that he didn't. Hundreds

most Western countries, partlcu-
larly on the European mainland
and in stemming the great strides
Of Moscow's puppets throughout
the world.
Mr.. Bevin is said to have been
fully aware that economic i'm
provement alone could not ap-
pease the fears of Europeans
They all looked fearfully east
ward and wondered what would
happen to their partial economic
rehabilitation If Russia should
start moving her military masses
across present borders.
Pact Offset Some Fear.
This brought forth the Allan
tic pact, which, in spite of its
many shortcomings, has Offset to
some extent the fears Of many
continental Europeans that they
might have to face the Soviet
music alone. For the present the
Atlantic pact has more psycholog-
ical than practical value. This is
due more to our own administra-
tion than to any mistakes COM
mitted by the Europeans.
Unlike the Europeans, we have
two strategic frontiers: The At
lantic and the Pacific. Yet the
administration, on advice from
the State Department inspired by
an ill-advised theology. has set
out to ignore altogether our west
ern frontier. placing the accent
on our military security in the
Atlantic alone. This Is the real
cause of the administrations re-
cent difficulties in Congress in
connection with the military aid
program.
Mr.. Bevin believes, however
that the foundations for a world
based on constitutionality already
have been laid, insofar as political
matters are concerned. The Mar
shall Plan, in spite of its appar-
emily exclusively economic aspects,
is considered to be a political
by most European OBJ
servers.
The British statesman hopes to
lay the foundations here for a real
economic association on the pat
tern of the political beginnings
already made. That the United
States will have to bear the brunt,
temporarily at least, Of such a
plan, is beyond question.
Mr.. Bevin Is said to have great
ideas about an economic lone
world" with a unified currency,
no tariff determinations, no quo
tas or irksome import and export
curbs and no regional markets.
He does not hope to accomplish
this gigantic scheme, or even por-
tions Of it. in the near future.
But he hopes to be able to i'm
press on America that there is an
unbreakable link between politics,
economics and strategy these days.
He will try to convince us that
what at first glance may appear
to be the selfish interest of his
government is in fact for the good

came out Of the Paris meeting IN
June. What had previously stood
in the way had been chiefly Yugo-
slav claims to areas Of the Aus
trian province Of Carinthia,
where the population is partly
Slovene. These claims had been
backed by the Soviet Union. It
was the withdrawal OF Russian
support for these claims-in
themselves very badly founded
that made any agreement possible.
The latest Soviet note to Mar
shall Tito concerns itself almost
exclusively with charging that the
Soviet Union never abandoned
the claims Of the "Yugoslav peo-
ple" to this Austrian territory and
that it was Marshal Tito's own
government who betrayed" the

Munition in War Of Nerves.
ALI this, Of course. is munition
in the war of nerves. The Soviet
government, while denying the
right Of a Yugoslav government
to have any will of its own or any

appeals to Slav nationalist greed

Split May Elect Dulles
Republicans Pin New York Election
Hopes on Democratic Divisions

also has nominated Mr.. Lehman.
1t will take the lead in developing
the story Of Senator Dulles as one
|of the foremost corporation law
yers of America. The Liberals are
fervent precinct workers and they
are we'll supplied with funds from
union sources.
Senator Dulles sought to put
the campaign on a national basis
when he announced that he would
run on the issue Of statism. This
is shaping as the Republican bat
tie cry in 1852: how effective it
is in a State with a long history
of social legislation remains to be
seen.
Democrats already are scoffing
at it. 1t is, however, the precise
issue on which Senator Dulles diff
fers from the Democrat, MIR. Leh-
man, since both are International
lists and personally sober intellec-
tuals with wealthy business back
grounds.
Dewey's Stake Heavy.
Gov. Dewey has a considerable
stake in the Dulles candidacy.
Sen. Dulles Is his foreign-affairs
adviser and his political creation.
Should the Dulles candidacy catch
on with Gov. Dewey's aid and win
the victory. it would be a resound-
ing Dewey answer to those poll
ticians in his own party who have
scornfully written him of.
The mayoralty election re-
bounds to Mr.. Lehman's benefit.
Despite errors of commission,
Mayor oDwyer remains a popular
figure except with Democratic
leaders. Mr.. Morris is a liberal
Republican, led into public life
by the late Fiorello La Guardia,
who has no special appeal to the
Republican organization. Repub-
leans are considered unlikely to
register and vote, so they can
make him mayor and thus give
Sen. Dulles the incidental benefit
of q big city turnout. Republicans
declare, however, that upstate
their organization Is in good
shape and will do well for SEN
ator Dulles.

an inconceivable situation a pro-

COP. Only Can Deplore.
As it is the Democrats, with
their eyes firmly fixed on the
Congressional elections next year,
can gather and make a little hay.
The Republicans can only look
on and deplore their own predica-
ment. one that doesn't seem to
have improved since last Novem-
Der when Joe Martin, preparing
to retire as Speaker Of the House,
gloomily predicted so more years
In the wilderness for his party.
The question arises as to why
with prospects so pleasing. the
Democratic machine should be as
actively engaged as If the election
were this fall instead of next
There are two or three answers.
One Is that the national organi-
zation is completely committed
to the Truman program and hopes
to carry through the projects,
patterned on the IVA. which
are basic to that program In the
West. At the time the confer
ence was called, 1t was not GER
tain that the Southern Demo-
atic-Republican coalition would
fail-as has since happened-to
turn the power from the Western
dams over to the private utilities
The conference was expected tc
strengthen the administration
hand in that fight.
Another Is that, remembering
1916, no chances are to be taken
on the 1850 congressional elec-
tions.
Real Majority Needed.
The third and compelling one
is that the administration needs
an even bigger majority in Con-
gress-or perhaps it should be
said, a real najority-in order to
override the combination Of. Re-
publicans and dissident Dem
ocrats. Apart from the desire to
do more Of the things promised
the people than has thus far been
possible, there is the feeling that
the recalcitrance of the South
will not always be accepted as an
alibi.
so what is being sought is q
r)majority or something close to q
majority in Congress, regardless
Of the South.
Therefore the effort to mai
down those Western districts ant
the effort to follow up the sue

Canada.
He told a news conference here

with Canada rather than under
the 1941 leases.
However, Mr.. st. Laurent en-

Mr.. st. Laurent pointed to the
