Ambassador Douglas

AS United States Ambassador to Britain
during the past three and half years, Lewis w.
Douglas has served with great distinction in
post of unique Importance to this country ana
the whole world That he is resigning now
primarily because his doctors have advised him
to take several months of rests development
that gives rise to sense of most genuine regret,
as the President has said But the work he has
done over there has been done so well that 1t
promises to keep on bearing good fruit long after
his departure from the Court of ST. James.
In his letter of resignation, Mr.. Douglas has
emphasized the point that continuing close
relationship between our own country and the
people of the United Kingdom and British Com
monwealth 'is one of the solid cornerstones OF
the civilized world" There can be no doubt about
that. Politically economically and militarily, 1t
is a great central fact of our time It is a fact
that bears fundamentally, vitality, on the imme-
date and long-range peace and security not only
of Americans and Britons but of all free nations
now engaged in building up system of collective
defense against the threat Of direct and indirect
Soviet aggression.
throughout his period of service as Ambas-
sador Mr. Douglas has labored hard and effec-
lively to make the "solid cornerstone" solder
than ever. He has done so by playing key role
In such matters of high international policy as
Britain's participation in the Marshall Plan, the
Atlantic Pact and the current effort to rearm
the West as fast and as thoroughly as possible.
It has been role calling for exceptional talent
and experience in many fields, and Mr.. Douglas
with his scholarship, his knowledge of world
affairs his deep understanding of economic
processes his years of distinguished governmental
work at home and abroad and his numerous
other gifts of mind and personality-has demon
strated that he possesses that talent and expert
ence in abundance.
The result today is that our relations with
Britain probably are closer and stronger than
ever before in our peacetime history. Accordingly,
on November /, when Mr.. Douglas resignation
becomes effective, his successor-Ambassad
designate Walter S. Gifford-will be walking into
an Anglo American diplomatic situation that is
excellent already. For his own part, Mr.. Clifford,
former head of the worlds biggest telephone
company and man with considerable experience
as a governmental advisor, seems well qualified
to take over his new post and live up to the
standards set by Mr. Douglas. The fact that he
is Republican, moreover, should be helpful in
bolstering our bipartisan foreign policy.
d. As for Ambassador Douglas future, it is
typical of him that he has expressed his willing
ness to the President to serve again in some
difficult job just as soon as he has had the rest
his doctors have ordered. It is safe to say that
this patriotic offer will not be forgotten and that
in due course he will be back in harness for the
good of his country. Meanwhile, he can be sure
of the American peoples best wishes for his
speedy recovery to full health.

IF Our Troops Stop

AS veteran who was stationed in
Seoul. Korea. after World War II, I
am disturbed by the possibility that
United Nations troops may not be sent
north of the 38th Parallel in Korea. The
import of such a decision could not
be oyerstated. In my opinion this would
mean that all Of our efforts in the pres
ent conflict would have been in vain.
While stationed in Korea, I learned
that the principal desire Of all Koreans
is to re-establish the unif1cation Of
their country. The masses do not under
stand communism or democracy, but
they do know that the economy of their
country is dependent on unification of
the Northern and Southern sectors. They
suffered many hardships because COM
merce between the two sectors was in
terrupted, and they learned that the
South Korean factories could not operate

Robert A. Lovett's past service. But it carries no
derisive implication. Its real message in fact, is
one Of hope that in time Mr.. Lovett will himself
become the occupant of No. l. instead of a

selection as Undersecretary of Defense and of the
personal considerations which led to acceptance

For the Public Welfare

The Ford Foundation, with assets IN the
neighborhood of 1898 million is the largest
endowment in the world It represents the fruits
of an industrial genius the products OF which
have done much to raise the physical standard OF
living. But in making the difficult choice OF how
best to use this money "for the public welfare"
the trustees have concluded that while there are
many things that might be done to improve mans
physical standard of living, the great and unmet
need in the world today is "To acquire more
knowledge of man, of the ways in which men can
learn to live together in peace in complex,
conflicting and ever-changing world"
For the trustees decided that the critical
problems in advancement of human welfare are
social, rather than physical and that the greatest
OF all such problems is the achievement OF world
peace-'the greatest single issue OF our times
In their approach to that problem, the trustees
have given the broad outlines of activities which
the Foundation will assist. While the Foundation
will add its resources to the many private and
public agencies throughout the world whose aim
Is world peace it will concern itself even more
with the study of methods for removing some OF
the underlying causes of war;
The report of the trustees is an inspiring
document which will find high place in litera-
ture of the sort. It deals, of necessity, with
generalities For its aim is to explain the selection
OF a broad field of endeavor, rather than to spell
out any precise plan of action. That will be the
duty of the director. There are many reports, as
yet unconfirmed by any statement from Paul
q. Hoffman himself, that the direction of the
Foundation will go to him. It would indeed be
difficult to find another man whose attainments
and personal philosophy so well equip him for
the administration of this great enterprise

backlog has developed.
A soldier ready to go home on leave
hits an even greater snag, because his
records are kept at Walter Reed. First.
the doctor on the ward must approve the
leave. Next the hospitals executive Of
ficer must approve. This done, Walter
Reed is notified. Orders are issued at
Walter Reed and sent to the soldier at
Bethesda.
The process usually takes four days.
An Army Medical Service Corps Of

best. awaiting reinforcements. Aid will
come in the form of Army technical serv-
ice units. soon to be sent to naval hos
pitals throughout the country where
soldiers are being treated. The Navy
will form similar units wherever sailors
are in Army hospitals.

These technical service units will OPP
crate directly under the Surgeon Cen
erals Office instead of local Army hos

Issuing leave papers will be matter of
minutes instead of days.
Also. medical records and physical
charts of the three services are being
standardized for more efficient admin
istration. Students in advanced service
medical courses are being traded.

Monitors Fan Mail

The letter signed Monitor" saying,
that when we get ready to put soldier
in the field. we frequently move his entire
family his furniture and the family
cat 10000 miles to where they can be
as close to him as possible" shows such
distressing misinformation that 1t must
be corrected.
The Army does not send and never has
sent dependents anywhere near a war
zone or near any place where soldier
is Gin the field" They are sent only
when they can be with him in times
of peace. and even then there are some
places where that is not allowed. No
families have gone to the Far East
since July.
Many Of us are separated from our
husbands for the second time, after q
painfully short interval since World War
II, and 1t is dismaying to discover that
there are those who are not even aware
Of the sacrifice we have been forced to
make

I wonder If the person that calls
himself Monitor" has ever been over
seas away from his loved ones. either
in peacetime or wartime. If he ever
has, doubt If he would be so concerned
about the cost of sending dependents
overseas.
No doubt he doesn't have to worry
too much about money matters, only
about how much taxes this extra expense
Is costing him.

Job for the 1900

May I make. a suggestion as to what
to do with the $4,000 Communists in this
country which Mr.. j. Edgar Hoover has
designated as dangerous? Since the very
thought Of concentration camps Is re-
pugnant to most Americans. should
like to propose that the $4,000 be rounded
up and sent over to Korea to help re-
build the homes and schools and farms
which suffered under the sad necessity
of bombardment.
Occupational therapy is valuable adj
junct in the treatment of the mentally
i'll, and it is evident that in the face of
the real menace of Russianism emerging
at last, these warped and destructive
Communists may find saner outlook
by constructing for others and clearing
away the awful rubble of war. And
should they escape to Moscow-well-

Toft and the Miners

Toft and the Miners
John L. Lewis has finally supplied in
disputable evidence that slave labor
exists generally within the United Mine
Workers of America. I refer to the re-
cent Lewis statement that the miners
would strike if Senator Taft visited the
mines. The inference is, of course, that
union miners dare not vote for Taft. 1t
Is matter of record that there have
been severe reprisals against union mem
bers who have violated the orders of
these demagogues. who like to call them
selves leaders.
Members of these several unions. ac-
cording to their officers. dare not have
opinions on public matters. They must,
like slave labor in Communist Russia,
vote as directed and for one party.
No union dares have the Taft-H Hartley
law fully explained to all its members in
an open forum by fully Uniformed, un-
biased, disinterested party. It would
bring an end to slave labor in America.
