situation?
The case against Russia in East
ern Europe-and the reason for
Tito's revolt--is that the So
viets have made colonies of the
East European countries. This
was further confirmed on Janu-
ary i8 by the resignation Of DR..
Aleksander w. Rudzinski as legal
adviser to the u. N. delegation
from Poland.
In his speech before the Ma
tional Press Club, Mr.. Ache
son predicted that the Russian
policy Of turning Communist
satellites into colonies would
Eventually turn all peoples against
the U. s. 8. r., so the way to
counteract this is for Western ma
tions to do the same thing. Ap-
Iparently, Mr.. Acheson thinks so
for he has said Cautiously that
the United States did support the
French proposals. Mr.. Acheson
has abandoned many policies OF
his predecessors. He should aban-
Idon this one, in order to be con-
sistent, at least, with himself.

It's different, however, when the
rival parties have to deal with
foreign affairs, when it Is aSques-
ton Of presenting a common

Strain Begins to Tell.
That's the way it has been now
for several years. The two par
ties have co-operated pretty well
and, without being ridiculous,
each could make an issue of which
had co-operated the most, or
which had Shown the greater dis
position to sacrifice partisan ad-
vantage for the national good.
The Republicans have been able
to point with pride to their own
performance in this respect and
with particular pride to the BIZ
partisan leadership given by one
of their number, Senator vanden-
berg. They have enjoyed the
commentator of conservatives
and liberals alike for this mani
Hesitation of patriotic virtue.
But, this campaign year, the
strain is beginning TO tell. Among
the party's leaders there are some
who have come to question the
political wisdom of the course
that has been followed. Their
virtue, they say, hasn't paid off at
the polls and shows no signs of
doing so. 1t is time, they say,
that they had a foreign policy of
their own, regardless of the Dem
ocratic administration; time to

Republican Senators and Rep

an Assistant Secretary of State in

Mr.. Hiss became, however, a

between 1910 and 1947. During
those years he was an assistant
chief of the Far East division,
where-although subordinate to
the chief Of that division-he ex-
ercised a good deal of influence.
In 1914 he became one Of the
strongest influences in the State
Department when he was moved
to the position of deputy director
of the Office of Special Political
Affairs, the policy advisory body
OF the department.

On the Record:
Deterioration of American Prestige
Due to Abandonment of PRINCIPLES

Poland first dismembered Ger
many by detaching the territories
In the East. So instead of con-
centrating German attention on
that, we are to divert 1t to dis
memberment in the West?
And all this Is to contribute to
the uniflcation of Europe?
Without Standards.
1t Is the thesis of this column
that the disintegration of West
ern civilization and the appalling
deterioration of American influ-
ence and prestige are not due to
Russia but to the abandonment by
ourselves of every principle of
equity and law with which alone
We could successfully oppose the
Soviet Union. We are utterly with
out standards of reference.
The Potsdam agreement con-
tains some Of the most immoral
statements ever to appear in a
political document. Under the
title Acknowledgement of Ger
many" it states:
"The United Kingdom. the
United States and the Soviet
Union shall possess supreme
authority with respect to Ger
many. In the exercise of such
authority, they will take such
steps including the dismem-
berment of Germany, as they
deem requisite y
Compare this blatant declara-
ton that might makes right with
the Atlantic Charter which all
allied nations signed when the
outcome of the war was still du-
bious:
Their countries seek no terri
torial aggrandizement.
They desire no territorial
changes that do not accord with
the freely expressed wishes of
the people concerned.
After the destruction Of the
Nazi Tyranny they hope to see
a peace which will afford all
nations the means of dwelling
safely within their own bound
aries !"

This Changing World
Conviction of Hiss Seen Likely to Prove
Embarrassing to State Department

| Byrnes, leaned heavily on his ad-
vice in all major matters. Ir
1945 he was assigned by Mr.
Stettinius, it is said, to go to
Yalta as one of President Roose-
Ivelt's advisers because he knew
how to handle the Russians.
Republican Senators and Rep
tresentatives now will ask the
State Department for a full re-
port on how many officials have
been appointed on Mr.. Hiss rec
ommendation and are still in the
Far East division, where policies
leading to the present catas-
trophic situation in the Far East
were formulated.
viii Ask How Many.
They also will ask how many
officials in that division who are
known to oppose the policy of
supporting the Mao Tze-tung
faction have been forced to re-
tire from the foreign service be-
cause they disagreed with the
policies of those who regarded
Chang Kai-shek as a danger to
democracy" that is to say, q
resolute foe of communism.
The Republican legislators will
try to find out to what extent
Mr.. Hiss influenced the thinking
of our top representatives at
Yalta. where not only Poland
and the Balkans were handed
over to the U.S.SR., over the OBJ
jections of some of those who
were close to Mr.. Roosevelt, but
Ialso where the fate of China was
decided.
They will want to know who
induced Mr. Roosevelt to hand
over the Kurile Islands, which
the japanese did not conquer but
purchased from the Russians.
This liberality with the property
Of an enemy before q peace
treaty now may permit the So
Wet government to raise claim
to Alaska, which also was pur-
chased by the United States from
at time when the czars
were in need Of hard cash.
It is recalled that at the time
Of his confirmation as Secretary
CT State, Mr.. Acheson said cou-
rageously that he was Mr.. Hiss
friend and would continue to be
his friend until he was found
guilty Of the accusations then
pending against him.
A number of Senators who did
not take exception to this lauda-
BILE attitude want to find out now
from the Secretary's own mouth
how far this reliance on Mr.. Hiss
affected some of Mr.. Acheson's S
decisions at the time he was Un-
dersecretary Of State and acted
as Secretary.

Demanding New Investigation of Navy

mission had been issued.
Waving photostat Of the
second Denfeld commission, Sen
ator Mccarthy. Wisconsin Repub-
lican and former Marine, saw in
all this proof that Secretary Mat
thews' character required investi-
cation. The Secretary explained
through Senator Tydings that
President Truman's naval aide
took the unusual step of delivering

tary's knowledge. Mr.. Matthews
argued that since no oath was

piled with, the vacancy legally

Senator Tydings drove this
point home in colorful debate in
which he STAYED off a whole
platoon of Republicans who de-
manded another investigation
that would keep the Navy's sad
story in headlines. Two facts
still stand out:
One, since Senator McCarthy's
photostat had to come from some
where. either Admiral Denfeld or
his admirers in confidential posi-
tions are not averse to tanning
the old quarrels. Two, the !Tru-
man naval aide. Rear Admiral
Robert l.. Dennison, is something
OF an apple polisher who likes to
bestow White House benefactions

wants to give the Navy q chance
