Allied Diplomats Out on a Limb
Washington and London May Be Forced to Renege
On Pledges to Return Trieste to toLon Contro!
Constantine Brown:

Marshal Tito, Yugoslavia's
dictator, won't play even if the
Western powers who embraced
him so 'gleefully in the hour of
need plead with him not to
interfere with their plans to
return Trieste to Italian con-
troll.
We went out on a limb during
the last Italian election. WASH
ington and London made the
sensational announcement that
Trieste would be returned to
Italy. It seemed a good policy
at the time even if our dip
lomats did not quite know how
they would pull this trick. The
supporters Of Italian Premier
Alcide de Gasperi were hard
pressed. Ambassador James c.
Dunn was reporting daily from
Rome that everything pointed to
a Communist victory. The
Communists were as we'll sup
piled with foreign exchange to
influence votes" as to Gasperi.
Something more dramatic was
needed; something which would
appeal to the national feelings
Of the Italian people; something
the Communists could not pos
sibly offer.
Washington and London put
their diplomatic heads together
and on the eve of the election
both governments announced
that the hopes of the Italian
people for the return of Italia
1ridenta" would be fulfilled in
part If Premier De Gasperi's
supporters in Parliament were
returned, thus continuing the
non-Communist government in
Office. De Gasperi won a ma
jority although the Communists
made a good showing in popu-
lar vote.
But because Of the haste in
which this action had been de-
cided nobody thought seriously
about how to return Trieste and

versial figure of George Allen.
Mr.. Allen now holds no pub
lie position but Is listed as "of
counsel" on the letterhead of
a prominent firm Of tax lawyers
in Washington and he has
many other business interests.
Should he appear at the right
hand of a major candidate for
President, his affairs would be-
come a matter Of public in
terest and discussion, as they
did during his association with
President Truman.
Because Gen. Eisenhower has
no experience in large areas of
domestic affairs, the men next
to him will be unusually impor-
tant. That they will receive
close attention is q foregone
conclusion.

will allow an impartial group
OF economists to study the
facts for him.
If the Government, under the
guise Of an international emer-
gency which it is believed will
last another decade anyway, is
to set up a permanent system
whereby wages are to be in
creased whenever the labor
unions demand it. but no price
increases are to be permitted TO
compensate the producers, then
the collapse of the major in
dustries becomes a realistic
threat.
Mr.. Truman says he is not a
candidate to succeed himself,
but he wants to see q Demo-
cratic Party victory. Hence
Trumanism becomes the issue.
The campaign debate may de-
termine how far Trumanism
has tended to coincide with
state socialism in depriving
those who save their money
from receiving a fair return on
their investments.
Imitation is slowly depreciat-
ing fixed investments. Tru-
manism is now about to impair
the only hedge the investor has
had-the opportunity Of equity
stocks to rise. But, with Gov
ernment seizure and with Cow
ernment dictation. there can be
no hope of reasonable divi-
dendS.
There are more wage earnerS
than stockholders, SO on polit-
ical basis Trumanism holds to
the false premise that it is polit-
ically sound to increase wages
no matter what happens to the
financial position of the COM
panieS.
The crash that will result
from such q misguided policy
will do the workers of America
more harm than any wage in
crease can do them good. For
if private enterprise is crucified.
if incentive is impaired and if
efficiency is retarded, the end
result is Government control
and then operation of all major
enterprises. This was the in
stinctive purpose of the New
Deal and it is the obvious pur-
pose of the so-called Fair Deal.
The political crisis of 1852 will
have direct bearing on the
economic crisis that is certain
to come If Trumanism is to be
the dominant philosophy of the
Nation in economics as we'll as

Thomas L. Stokes:

Thoughtful and sagacious
Republicans are carefully as
sessing what they regard as a
different and bigger task in
November since the Democratic
pilot, Harry Truman, quietly
dropped himself voluntarily.
No longer are they running
against what seemed vulner-
able symbol, the man Harry
Truman. Instead, they now are
running against an institution,
the Democratic Party, which is
something quite different. How
different is regularly demon
strated by successive Gallup
polls that show the Democratic
Party still ahead in answer to
the question:
Under which party do you
think you would be better OFF,"
That is so no matter how low
Harry Truman has fallen, from
time to time, in popular favor.
Despite this party strength, as
such, Republicans and many
Democrats had come to believe
that Harry Truman had per-
Sonally become so much the
scapegoat Of dissatisfactions
with the administration that
his presence at the head Of the
ticket would carry the party
down with him. Republicans
also were beginning to count
Southern States as chickens
ready to be Matched. That's all
changed now.
With four months to go be-
fore their convention, Republi-
cans have been deprived Of the
whipping boy they have been
beating about daily. an act with
which they hoped to keep party
enthusiasm at fever pitch. This

When the President abruptly
quit the game Of White House

effectively called on all those
ambitious to succeed him to
stand forth under their true
colors. The personal devil is

must now talk more about what
they are for instead of relying
on what they are against.
Both parties are challenged by
this infusion of q new spirit

Decision Now Up to White House
Y. S. Moving Toward Economic Crash Worse Than in 1922
First Steps in Cycle Certain Come With Steel Strike
Dovid Lowrence:

America is moving slowly to-
ward an economic catastrophe
which may be worse than the
one that was ushered in back in
1929.
The decision whether such q
diaster shall be averted rests
with White House action in the
next few days. The 10-year de-
preston period-1929 to 1899
started with very little warning.
At least, the Nation was not
prepared for it.
The next crash will come in
a matter of months-not years
If the White House persists in
driving to the edge Of the preci-
pice The Nation will be able
to see the cycle start. No one
will be able to say this time that
no warning note was sounded.
The first steps in the cycle Of
disintegration will come with a
steel strike. This is due to start
next week. Then will come
seizure of the steel companies
by the Government.
Immediately after seizure,
the Government will surren-
der to the unions by ordering
the recommendations of the
Truman stabilization board to
be put into effect at once.
The financial structure Of the
steel companies thus will be
sabotaged. Their stockholders
will interpret this to mean that
from now on the Government
intends to allow unlimited wages
to union workers. but will re-
fuse to pay fair wages to the
investors.
When this happens, it is the
beginning of the end of the
free-enterprise system. Inves-
tors generally will lose conf
dence. For the same pattern
followed in steel will be ex-
hibited to all industries-higher
and higher wages will have to
be paid or seizure will be the
penalty.
With a rising wage level and
no offsetting Of costs through
higher prices, it Is only a ques-
ton Of a few months before the
backbone Of the entire defense
program In America-the steel
industry-will have its back to
the wall. Stain could hope for
nothing more useful to his pur-
pose.
President Truman Is being
advised that he must not per-
NIT any price increase in steel,
and that the companies must alb
sorb all wage increases out of
current profits. Actually there is

ican and British troops to the
mother country. In 1946 a
peace treaty was signed between
the victorious powers and Italy.
1t is now belatedly recognized
that it was a bad treaty in
which the Western powers re-
neged on their original promises
to the former King of Italy and
his government under Marshal
Pietro Badoglio. The State De-
partment was aware that Rus
Sia, one of the signatories, would
OBJECT. But in view of our
present relations with Moscow
this objection had become un-
important. What was impor-
tant however, was Tito's posi-
ton.
The Yugoslav dictator had
broken with the Kremlin and
was veering toward the West.
The Western diplomats appar-
emily believed that because we
were to provide the Belgrade
government with war materials
and economic help at a time
when Yugoslavia was on the
verge of economic collapse Tito
would adopt an understanding
attitude" He was supposed to
object to any changes in the
status of Trieste without his
consent. but in the main he
would offer only token resist
ance.
For Two years we attempted
to convince the former ally of
the Kremlin of the necessity of
doing something to appease
Italian nationalism. Another
election in which the fate of the
De Gasperi government hangs
in the balance will be held in
the near future. On orders
from Moscow. Italian Com
munist leader Togliatti took
advantage of the situation.
Through his agents he spurred
the nationalist feelings of his
countrymen and during the last
10 days there have been serious
Evening star., 1952-04-02

riots and uprisings in Trieste,
Rome, Naples and Milan. The
demonstrators have demanded
loudly that America keep its
word and De Gasperi take
action to see that our pre-
election promises are fulfilled.
Because the forthcoming elec-
tions are as vital as the previous
ones it became evident that
something had to be done. Tito
was tactfully approached and
urged to help us by not object
ing to a change in the status
of Trieste. Neither America nor
Britain is interested in keeping
some 10000 good troops as a
police guard in the Trieste area
which is under Western control.
Tito was told that this force
could be replaced satisfactorily
by elements of the new Italian
army while our own forces could
be used to much better advan-
tage in other defense regions Of
Western Europe. But we did
not count on Tito's stubborn
ness. He objected and in order
to make his stand as clear as
possible he told us from the ros-
trum of the Belgrade Parliament
that he is unqualifiedly opposed
to any changes in Trieste's
status. Moreover, he warned
us that the 80 Yugoslav divi-
sions-which he implied we may
lose if we act on that matter
without his approval-could be
lost to the Western defense sys-
tenn. And this force, he added,
is far more effective than any
thing Italy possesses now or
may have in the future.
What our next diplomatic
move will be to help De Gas
peri, who is losing political
ground, and at the same time
not antagonize Tito is a problem
for which our diplomats have
no answer at this time. But
they admit while seeking a So
luton that diplomatic expedi-
ency rarely pays in the end.
Evening star., 1952-04-02

a basis for compromise in Q
modest wage increase and q
moderate increase In prices.
What Mr.. Truman may do
this very week, therefore, is to
set the wage levels for the lean
years that must come when the
defense program tapers of.
Peace is always q possibility.
and any decided turn for the
better in the international situ-
alton can catch the American
economy in a trap.
High wage levels cannot be
Debated. Instead of allowing
the steel companies to build a
reserve and to accumulate funds
now to buy new machinery so
as to operate more efficiently
and to reduce prices, especially
for future construction needs,
the President is being told by
Economic Adviser Leon Key
serling that he now can boost
the wage levels to unprece-
dented heights. 1t was Mr.. Key
serling who upset the applicant
on Mr.. Truman's return from
Key West by telling him the
steel companies could pay the
wage increases based on nor
NAL profits" and normal op-
erations." His reasoning has
not been divulged, but it is not
in accord with facts put in
evidence at the recent hearings.
The Keyserling formula means
that the Government will lose
hundreds of millions in tax
money. Other sources Of rev.
enue will have to be found. The
stockholders in steel will face a
wage cut. It means. moreover,
that such q high level of wages
will have been forced upon the
steel industry that, with the
slightest contraction of defense
orders. there will be extensive
casualties among the marginal
steel companies. This will re-
suit in widespread unemploy-
ment and further loss of tax
money.
The design for an economic
crash is being made this very
week in Washington. The 1929
debacle was the result of over
speculation by private citizens,
but the crash that lies ahead
will be Government-made. It
is doubtful how much of the
wreckage q new administration
taking Office in 1853 can pos
sibly repair. The momentum
Of a downward cycle is hard to
arrest. It can be stopped In
its tracks now if Mr.. Truman
