organization for the Americans.
An organization acting on behalf
of the requirements of the Ameri-
can aggressors.
Not only the United States and
Canada are striving to unleash a
new war. The same stand has
also been taken by 20 Latin Amer
lean countries, the landowners and
businessmen of which are crav-
ing for a new war somewhere IN
Europe or Asia In order to sell
goods to the belligerent countries
for excessively high prices and
to earn millions from that san
culinary business.
1t is not a secret for any one
that 20 representatives of 20
Latin American countries now
represent the most solid and
obedient army of the United
States Of America in the United
Nations organization.
The United Nations organiza-
tion is therefore taking the in
glorious road of the League of
Nations. In this way it Is bury
ing its moral prestige and DOOM
ing itself to disintegration.
@. Do you consider a new world
war inevitable?
A. No. At least at the present
time it cannot be considered in
evitable.
Charges "Thirst" for War.
OF course, in the United States
of America, in Britain, as also in
France, there are aggressive forces
thirsting for a new war. They
need war to obtain super-profits,
to plunder other countries. These
are the billionaires and million
aires who regard war as an item
of income which gives colossal
profits. They, these aggressive
forces, control the reactionary
governments and direct them.
But at the same time they are
afraid of their peoples who do not
want new war and stand for
the maintenance of peace. There
fore they are trying to use the re-
dictionary governments in order to
enmesh their peoples with lies, to
deceive them and to depict the
new war as defensive and the
peaceful policy of the peace-loving
countries as aggressive. They are
trying to deceive their peoples in
order to impose on them their ag-
gressive plans and to draw them
into a new war.
Precisely for this reason they
are afraid of the campaign in de-
fense of peace, fearing that it
can expose the aggressive inten-
tions of the reactionary govern
ments. Precisely for this reason
they turned down the proposal of
the Soviet Government for the
conclusion of peace pact, for
the reduction of armaments, for
banning the atomic weapon, fear
ing that the adoption of these
proposals would undermine the
aggressive measure of the reac-
tionary governments and make
the armaments race unnecessary
What will be the end of this
struggle of the aggressive and
peace-loving forces?
Peace will be preserved and con-
solidated if the peoples will take
the cause of preserving peace into
their own hands and will defend
1t to the end. War may become
inevitable if the warmongers sue
ceed IL entangling the masses of
the people in lies. in deceiving
them and drawing them into a
new world war.
That is why the wide campaign
for the maintenance of peace as
means of exposing the criminal
Vaccinations of the warrnongers
is now of f1rst-rate Importance.
AS for the Soviet Union, it will
continue in the future as well
firmly to pursue a policy of avert
ing war and maintaining peace.

u. S. Unable to See Change
In Russian Foreign Policy
BY the Associated Press

State Department officials ex-
plored Prime Minister Stain S
new pronouncement on world
problems today for possibl clues
to changes in Soviet foreign policy
Most believed they searched in
vain.
The attitude of the administra-
tion's experts in Soviet behavior
appeared to parallel that of sew
eral Senators who assessed the
statement as propaganda.
Considerable interest was
aroused, however. by the fact that
Stain himself has now taken up
and given final public sanction to
a line voiced for the past year
by lesser Soviet figures: that the
United Nations has become an
instrument of Anglo American
control dominated by what the
Russian premier called the "ag-
gressive core of Western Hem
isphere and Atlantic Treaty ma
tions.
Nothing Essentially New.
There was some speculation that
the emphatic manner in which
Stain pressed this contention may
indicate the Kremlin is complet-
ing a propaganda basis for pull
ing out of the U. N. if any when
such action would appear to serve
Soviet designs.
One line of speculation on this
possibility is that the Russians.
having branded the U. N. as no
longer an organization for world
peace would denounce it, walk out
and present their own already
established Peace Congress" as
the only truly representative in
ternational league.
The initial reaction of RESPONSE
BILE officials in Washington was
that while Stain speaks with a
powerful voice, he said nothing es-
sentially new in reinforcing Rus
sia's known position not only on
the U. N. but on Communist
China. the Korean conflict, the is
sue of blame for present world
tension and the question of the
inevitability of war.
Claim Clashes With Figures.
Stalin's claim that his country
has demobilized clashes with
figures put out officially this week
by the Senate Foreign Relations
and Armed Services Committees
as background information for
the troops to- Europe discussion.

her European satellites had about
5 million men under arms, and

Echo Stain S Latest
Blast Against U. n.
BY the Assoeiated Pres.

MOSCOW, Feb. II. - Prime
Minister Stalin's latest broadside
against the United Nations. which
he termed a tool of American
aggression" was on every front
page in the Soviet Union today.
Repeated broadcasts on the So
Wet radio echoed the Kremlin
leaders pronouncement-his most
important in two years-to the
one-sixth of the world which is
the U. S. S. r. and beyond.
Stain. in a lengthy interview
with Pravda last night, branded
as Shameful" the United Nations
resolution labelling Communist
China as aggressor in Korea.
He also declared:
"If Britain and the United
States reject finally the proposals
made by the Peoples Government
of China, the war in Korea can
only end in a defeat of the inter-
ventionists.
War Still Not Inevitable.
| Do you consider new world
war inevitable? Stain was asked.
The Kremlin leader replied:
mo. At least at the present
time. it cannot be considered in
evitable."
Diplomats here and in world
capitals studied carefully the lat
est authoritative statement from
the head of the Soviet govern
ment looking for keys to future
Soviet policy
I Western ENJOYS in Moscow in
terpreted his views on the Korean
war as highly significant. 1t was
regarded as indicating the door
is not yet closed to peaceful
settlement between the U. N. and
the Peiping government.
Mostly, however, they regarded
Stains carefully worded pro-
nouncement as a reaffirmation of
what lesser Soviet spokesmen have
been saying in the past few
months.
In his first major foreign-p policy
statement in two years the IL
year-old Soviet leader denounced
the United Nations resolution Ia
beling Communist China an ag-
gressor as "disgraceful" and pre-
dicted the U. MS downfall. He
declared:
The United Nations organiza-
ton is therefore taking the in
glorious road of the League Of
Nations. In this way it is burying
its moral prestige and dooming
itself to disintegration.'
Stain charged that the U. N.
was not proportionally representa-
tive of world populations and had
become mot as much a world Or
ganization as an organization for
the Americans, an organization
acting on behalf of the require
ments Of the American aggres-
sors."
He said American GIs fought
brilliantly and effectively in de-
feating Germany and Japan, but
that they were losing on Korean
battlef1elds because they had no
faith in their cause.
/ The broadside from the Kremlin
was in direct reply to a recent
House OF Commons statement by
British Prime Minister Attlee to
the effect that after the end of
World War II the Soviet Union
did not disarm. Stain castigated
the statement as "a SANDER
against the Soviet Union"
The Soviet Prime Minister'S last
major announcement on foreign
affairs came in a question-and-
answer interview with Kingsbury
Smith of the International News
Service early in 1949. A hint
thrown out it in that interview
and seized upon by American dip
lomats, resulted in a meeting Of
the Council of Foreign Ministers
and an end of the Berlin blockade.

be a prelude to a Russian with
drawal from that body, or whether
it was just some more Soviet
abuse. Most diplomats were in
clined to the latter view.
The Communist press in
Britain and on the continent gen.
orally treated the Stain statement
as an abusive outburst that really
did not say very much.

ing of a new aggressive world
war.
@. What do you think of the
intervention in Korea? How
could it end?
A. If Britain and the United
States reject finally the proposals
made by the Peoples Government
Of China, the war in Korea can
only end in a defeat of the in
terventionists.
@. Is it possible that the Amer
lean and British generals and
officers are worse than the Chi
nese and the Korean ones?
A. No. They are not worse.
American and British generals

Wherein lies the crux of the mat
ter then? It lies in the fact that
the soldiers regard the war against
Korea and China as unjust,
whereas they regarded the war
against Hitlerite Germany and
militarist Japan as completely
just.
Calls Korean War Unpopular.
The matter at issue is that this
war is extremely unpopular among
the American and British soldiers.

foibles of adults when it comes to walk

The Soor q Nation

On January the Saar, in theory If not
altogether in fact became an independent
nation. The government of France, in control
of the rich coal territory since 1945 has granted
local officials authority local affairs of every
variety except such as relate to other countries
or are OF predominantly economic character.
How much actual freedom the new system will
permit the Saarlanders will have to be deter
mined by developments of the future. Neither
the French nor the local inhabitants at the
present moment pretend that the Saar really is
any more independent than it was previously.
But a door has been opened 1t well may be
that through it practical way may be found
for solving one of the most aggravating problems
of "the age of confusion" The Saar historically
is connected with both Germany and France
It's coal reserves-estimated at nine billion tons
are a prize both countries have wanted. Geo
graphically France would seem to have the
better claim. In terms of ethnography, however
the Saar is German. The people of the 738-
square-mile area are of mixed French and Ger
man descent but their sympathies always have
been with Germany. A plebiscite held in 1885
under League of Nations management put the
whole Saarland under Hitler, not so much be-
cause the voters admired Der Fuehrer as because
they preferred any kind of German rule to any
kind Of rule by France.

No National Police Necessary

Director Hoover of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation has shown good judgment in re-
jecting proposal that the FBI be empowered
by law to investigate crime in Washington upon
request of the United. States Attorney There
is no more justification for FBI intervention in
local law enforcement here than in New York
City or elsewhere Congress created the Metro
politan Police Department to maintain law and
order in the District of Columbia To project
Federal agency into the District law-enforce-
ment field would be to imply that the local
police are not capable of doing their Job. If
the local police force is incompetent-and the
Davis crime report fails to support such thesis
the remedy is to get better police force, not
to bring in a Federal force.
In an address last May Mr.. Hoover opposed
the idea OF a national police force. At that
time he declared: "The best type of law en-
forcement is by the hometown police Any
other system would be alien to our American
way of life. Each community not only deserves
exactly what it receives in terms of law and
order, but also has within its power the ability
to have law observance and good law enforce
ment II it desires. The law-enforcement
agencies in the land. with few exceptions, are
thoroughly competent and capable They are
willing to do their job if they are unshackled
and supported as they should be by an aroused
cltizenry which will brook no interference and
tolerate no alliance between the upper world
of oficialdom and the underworld of corruption" I"
1t would be not only illogical but unfair to
impose local police responsibilities on the FBI
The bureau has enormous responsibilities as it
is, In investigating espionage, sabotage and
variety of interstate crimes. Mr.. Hoover is on
solid ground in resisting recurrent efforts to have
the FBI assume duties of a national police
agency. There is no place in the American
scheme OF local law enforcement for any central
police authority.

There appears no reason why we

Universal Military Training
By Bruce Borton

Our military services are inefficient
users of manpower. When Russia drafts
five men. four of them show up in the
fighting lines. When the United States
drafts five. one or two of them fight: the
others stay behind to wind and unwind
red tape, fill out questionnaires, write
memoranda, run n1imeograph machines
and so forth.
The services. too, are lavishly extrava-
CANT with money and materials. The
American people were shocked when
Korea revealed that all the billions ap-
propriated for national defense since the
wars end had bought practically nothing
in terms of planes, tanks, guns or other
fighting equipment. If the generals and
admirals had been presidents of corpora
tions, the stockholders would have risen
in their wrath and thrown them all out.
But taxpayers are more tolerant than
stockholders, and more lazy-minded.
All of the above is written without
hope of efecting any change. Wars
business is to kill and destroy, and war;
riors throughout all history have been
and often have had to be-careless of
money and life.
