Soor Election Causes Misqivinqs
Results May Be That Western Germany Will Now Feel
More Inclined to Lend Ear to Kremln Overtures

The Kremlin considers Ger
many as the greatest European
prize. Stalin's present short
range policy is to detach some
of the NATO members, and par
ticularly France, from that CO.
alition. Moscow and Paris are
engaged in a secret Irritation.
But the intentions of the Krem-
lin are strictly dishonorable.
Stain wants only to further
weaken the NATO fabric.
The long-range policy of the
Kremlin is to place Germany in
the column of it's "allies." Last
March 1t offered the German
people the one thing they most
ardently desire: Unity between
Eastern and Western Germany.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
and many far-seeing political
men in Western Germany were
quick to realize that an "alli-
ance" with the Kremlin would
mean that Germany would take
a place in the ranks of the
satellite countries. But a large
segment of the German popula-
ton in the West feels that if
the allies are unwilling or in
capable of bringing about the
unity Of the former Reich, it
might be worth while to take a
calculated risk by accepting the
Muscovite offer.
Red agents are very active in
Western Germany. BY word of
mouth and in pamphlets they
emphasize the old hatred and
jealouSies of Germany by her
Western neighbors, particularly
the French. The Communist ag-
itators pointed out that France
is not only opposed to a united
Germany but wants to further
dismember Western Germany.
This propaganda has now
gained substance since the Paris
government has succeeded by
skillful maneuvers in detaching

Constantine Brown:

The results of the Saar elec-
tlon have created misgivings in
Washington where Germany is
regarded as much the key to the
defense of Europe as China is
to the Far East.
The Kremlins ascendancy in
Asia dates from the time when
we and our Western allies ig-
nored the consequences of
China's entering the Kremlin
orbit and remained impassive
at the strides of the Communist
puppets headed by Mao Tse-
tung.
A wishful thinking attitude
on the part Of the administra-
tion, which espoused the polit-
ical philosophy of such experts
on the Far East as Owen Latti-
more, caused the American
Government to adopt the lack
adaisicai attitude of "let the
dust settle" in that part of the
world.
President-e Eisenhower
inherits the thankless task of
remedying the blunders of his
predecessors. Whatever rem
edy he may find or suggest after
his return from Korea unques-
tionably will be burdensome.
Political mistakes are always
costly. Our allies discovered
that, by fighting World War II
after they had been too timid
to face Hitler squarely while
there still was time.
The Russians always have
recognized the Importance of
the Far East for their aggran-
dizement. Lenin and Stain
have repeatedly stated that the
road to Berlin and Paris goes
through Peiping and Shang-
hal" We considered these as
mere rhetorical statements.
Now our European allies seem
to overlook the possibility of
another China" on their own
continent.

George Humphrey, the new Sec

Charles E. Wilson reflects
the new approach to the main
problem of the Defense Depart
ment, which is to eliminate
waste and get production of
armament from business and
industry going on an efficient
basis. It is a business rather
than a military job.
Herbert Brownell is one of the
ablest lawyers in the country,
and his willingness to take the
portfolio of Attorney General is
a welcome sign Of the sacrifices
being made today by successful
men to go into Government
service.
Ezra Taft Benson is an ex-

cultural expert, and his selection
as Secretary of Agriculture has
been hailed by farm organiza-
tionS as an excellent choice.

David Lowrence:

Three objectiveS were achieved
by President-elect Eisenhower in
appointing Martin P. Durkin to
be Secretary of Labor.
1t is an unwritten law of
politics that, if possible, there
should be at least one Catholic
in the cabinet. 1t is also con-
sidered desirable to appoint a
pro-union man to be Secretary
of Labor. It is likewise impor-
tant to recognize the minority
party.
Mr.. Durkin is a Catholic. a
Democrat who supported Ste
venson. and president of the Ma
tional Plumbers Union affiliated
with the American Federation
of Labor.
In recent years there has been
a tendency to avoid appointing
either a CIO or an AFL man be-
cause of the rivalry between the
two labor organizations. Before
the split occurred, two AFL men
were appointed to the cabinet
portfolio known as the Depart
ment of Labor. Since it ap-
pears that the AFL and CIO
may unite soon, the fact that an
AFL leader was chosen is not
likely to set up any new antag-
onism from the CIO.
The President-elect has Ger
tainly shown excellent judgment
in appointing Mr.. Durkin. It
means that union labor will
have direct access to the White
House. 1t means also that the
new President will have at his
elbow a man who can tell him
how labor will react to various
proposals OF pubic policy. Like
wise. Gen. Eisenhower will have
a spokesman who can interpret
the views of his administration
to labor and the public.
A cabinet is supposed to be
representative of a variety of

whom the cause may command
no conscientious obedience.
Therefore, the prisoner may be
persuaded to make a choice for
such considerations as privi-
legged treatment, or remain
loyal for fear that detection will
be punished by his camp mates,
who will kill him, as has been
the case in Korea, whose camps
seem singularly badly policed.
The Soviets, who initiated the
idea of perpetual and unre-
mitting war by any and every
feasible means against the
whole bourgeois world" were,
in the modern age. the first to
recruit for their own forces
from the ranks of their captives.
Many of the Soviet's gauleiters
in satellite countries today were
converted to communism and
the Soviets while they were
Russian prisoners Of World War
I. These men never again set
foot in their countries until
they returned as Soviet COM
miSsars.
Soviet Russia holds today,
seven years after the war,
thousands of German and
japanese troops-or they have
been killed, or have perished,
without accounting.
Evening star., 1952-12-02

And by an extraordinary
irony. the same session of the
U. N. Assembly which heard the
Russians demanding conven-
tional procedure and repatria-
tion, heard the Greeks pleading
for the repatriation of the $4,000
children abducted by Com
munist guerrillas into Rumania,
Bulgaria, and Hungary years
ago, there to be trained as Com
munist janissaries for the future,
while the International Red
Cross had to announce the total
failure of it's negotiations for
their repatriation.
What we cannot understand,
however, is why prisoners who
resist repatriation should not
have been given the choice be-
tween repatriation and a South
Korean uniform. They have no
legal right of asylum. And we
can't quite see why American
men should be fighting and
dying for that right while they
sit out the war. No one Is re-
patrlated from a grave.

Paradoxes in the POW Question
Russians Champion Conventions They Never Signed
But These Same Treaties Prove Unreal in 1852

There is an air of unreality
In the United Nations dis
cussions Of the prisoner of war
question, with the Soviet cham
pioning international conven-
tions which they themselves
never signed, and whose pro-
visions they have never upheld.
In various treaties covering
treatment Of war prisoners to
which the United States is
party, notably the Geneva
treaty of 1929. no authority
exists to keep prisoners who do
not want to be returned.
Nowhere. I think, does any in
ternational convention establish
the right of a prisoner to seek
asylum in the country Of his
captivity or refuse repatriation.
But these conventions are un-
real because the assumptions
behind them are unreal-car-
ried over from less barbaric
times. when wars were fought
for limited and not millennial
aims. The assumption was that
the dearest wish of any soldier
would always be to return home,
and that upon his return he
would be welcome and secure
within his family, state and
community.
This is no longer universally
, so, and all armies practice in
doctrination and screening of
prisoners in an attempt to use
them for purposes hostile to
those of the states whose uni
forms they wear. And this is the
more easily done because 20th-
century wars are predominantly
theological, their soldiers en-
listed less for service to God
and country than to some SUI
pernational aim, such as the
one world concept Of universal
communism or the one world
concept Of the u. N.
In that concept the end of
hostilities never ends the strug-
gle. The native returning will
again be screened to ascertain
whether he has been corrupted
by his captors. Witnesses will
be called from among his
prison-camp mates, and if
doubts Of his persistent loyalty
exist he may face a firing squad
or years Of gruelling forced
labor in another prison camp.
Also, these theological wars
are not fought by professional
armies or volunteers for the
cause. but BY conscripts from

but not a unionist in Labor?
He reminded the President
elect that the last Republican
President. Herbert Hoover. had
done it with the appointment
of William Doak.
The AFL recognition is the
more striking since last fall it
indorsed a presidential candi-
date for the first time-Gen.
Eisenhower's opponent, Gov.
Stevenson.
The big question now is what
Mr.. Durkin can make of his nice
new job which has been a foot
ball for Congress during the
Roosevelt Truman administra-
tions. Mr.. Roosevelt personally
stood by his Secretary. Frances
Perkins. fairly we'll, but Mr..
Truman. though fond Of Secre-
tary Tobin. let his assistant,
John Steelman, run the labor
show from a White House
office most Of the time.
All Washington chortled when
Congress advertised it's stand in
the matter by playing favorites
among the Secretaries Of
Justice. Interior, Agriculture
and I,ah0r in the matter ~
their official limousines. The
Appropriations Committees gave
Agriculture a green light to get
the best, put a moderate limita-
ton on Interior and Justice and
held down Labor to $500.
Secretary Tobin's loyal staff
says now that they persuaded
General Motors to give their
man first-class limousineship,
but admit it took a little talking.

the problems of reclamation and
development of natural re-
sources. particularly from the
Western viewpoint.
Arthur Summerfield, a sue
cessful businessman, will, as
Postmaster General, give the
American people a businesslike
administration of the postal
service.
All in all, the President-elect
has picked his own men on the
basis of merit. Where he has
made his selections. he has not
looked for pro-Taft or pro-
Dewey men as such but has
sought out the ablest men, and
it so happens that both wings
of the Republican Party have
representation.
Probably the appointment of
the new Secretary of Labor will
come as the biggest surprise. For
here a Democrat who didn't
support Eisenhower is given
cabinet post of far-reaching i'm
portance. It will be noted that
Mr.. Durkin served the Demo-
cratic administration of Gov.
Horner in Illinois as State labor
director and he helped to estab-
lish and manage a health and
accident division, an unemploy-
ment compensation system, and
State conciliation and media
ton service. This means he
probably will ask that the
United States Cancellation Serv-
ice go back to the Department
of Labor. though Congress will
finally decide that question.
1t is a good cabinet-one of
the best in the last so years. 1t
is a cabinet of men who have
been successful in their voca-
tions-men who bring to the
Government service both ability
and integrity.

consultation with business than
with politicians in it and con-

East. They are pointing the
finger at Gen. Eisenhower
Army associate, Gen. Lucius
Clay. formerly in command of
occupied Germany, and now
chairman of the board of the
Continental Can Co.
Secretary of Labor Durkin, a
Chicagoan, Is an emphatic ex-
ception. He is a triumph for
the new president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, George
Meany, a member of the same
union.
In naming him, the general
did what no Democratic Presi-
dent was willing to do. which
was to select member of one
of the rival trade union fedora
tions. 1t is true that Mr.. Meany
is a symbol of more modern and
more moderate AFL policy and
instantly made overtures on
unity toward the CIO. That
unity is still a long way off,
however.
Mr.. Durkin, a Democrat who
supported Gov. Stevenson, is a
Catholic, which was important
to the Eisenhower planners as
that faith was heretofore unrep-
resented in the top brackets.
The argument for a trades
unionist as Secretary of Labor
was strongly put by Mr.. Meany
to the general. Why, asked the
AFL president, is it all right to
put a businessman in Com
merce, a farmer in Agriculture,
