Stand on Secret Pocts Soft
Government Expected to Express Itself in Language
Much Stronger Than Eisenhower Declaration

william D. Leahy, who accom-
panied President Roosevelt to
Yalta, told friends he had ad-
vised Mr.. Roosevelt that it was
all right to make territorial
concessions in the Far East but
it would be best, as a long
range policy, if the Reds stayed
out of the japanese war. So
far as Poland is concerned. he
relates that when Mr.. RooSe-
velt showed him the draft
about Poland's future he ex-
pressed his view that it was too
elastic and the Russians would
be able to interpret it in what
ever manner they wished.
There is an uneasy feeling
among many people in this
country that the new admins
tration, since it assumed the
responsibilities of Office, may
be inclined toward the old
diplomatic pattern of "long on
words and short on deeds"
This feeling, beginning to
crystalline in some sections Of
the Nation, is worrying many
Republican legislators.
Last Saturday this reporter
called on one of the Republican
leaders in the Senate. The
Senator was in a happy frame
of mind and asked this reporter
how he liked the situation. The
answer was that considering
that the administration had
been in Office only a month
things were going well, but
there was some concern lest
the line of conduct of foreign
affairs might be slowly put in
reverse.

irresponsible Senator. Since
the immediate object of at
tack is the departments in
formation program. they may
really think the way to save
themselves is to give up the
program. Anything to keep
Mccarthy out of their hair.
This may not be their think
ing but they give cause for
believing it Is.
Meantime, a new man, pre-
sumably more satisfactory to
Mccarthy, is taking charge
of the information program.
This man tells the press he
thinks Mccarthy 'is trying to
be helpful" Not a good omen.
It almost seems to presage the
substitution of the voice of
Mccarthy for the Voice Of
America.

away into a mere exchange of
indignant addresses. For the
United States is being asked
to accept the responsibility Of
world leadership and not only
to send it's youth to do battle
in Korea but to send billions
of dollars of taxpayers money
to bolster up the economic
structures of many free ma
tions, 1t now will be interest
ing to see how many friends
America will find at her side
in the United Nations and
what the attitude of other
governments will. be toward
the natural follow-up steps
which must come when Soviet
Russia is put on trial for her
fragrant action in breaking the
peace of the world through her
instigation of the Korean ag-
greesion.
The U. N. is today supported
by American public opinion
despite the many vicissitudes
Of its brief existence, but the
U. N. will die the same death
as the League If the free ma
tions forfeit their opportunity
to mobilize the moral force of
the world behind the drive
that must some day penetrate
to the peoples behind the Iron
Curtain as they learn the
tragic truth. For, after the
bloody years of World War II,
the Moscow government is Gre
ating a situation that will drag
its innocent people into war
once more by such dangerous
adventures as now have been
disclosed in the Far East.
The term psychological
warfare" has been variously
described, but it's best meaning
is the use Of moral force to
unite the minds of people on
both sides of the Iron Curtain
in a single thought-to elimi-
nate any group of men in any
regime which insists on plung-
ing its people into war. And
the case against the Moscow
regime is only now beginning
to be made as it should have
been months ago.

Lowell MeNett:
Whose Is the Voice Of America?
In Foreign Field Must Be State Department. No Wisdom
In Proposal to Creote Independent nformotion Agency

1t Is difficult to see any wis
dom in the proposal, now being
revived, to create a separate
and independent agency to
handle Government informa-
ton and propaganda in the
foreign field. This would in
clude the operation called
the Voice of America, now
being attacked or "investi-
gated" by the Mccarthy COM
mittee of the Senate. If Amer
lea is to have a voice in world
affairs. as 1t inescapably must
have. its voice should continue
to be the State Department,
the agency responsible for
conducting our relations with
foreign governments and for
eign peoples.
The present big and expen-
sive organization within the
State Department may or may
not be doing a good job. It
obviously is not satisfying
everybody. But that would be
true, no matter how independ-
ent Of the State Department
1t might be made. If there is
anything wrong with the in
ternational information and
propaganda operation it means
there is something wrong with
the State Department. and
that is where the correction
should be made. Even If the
State Department should wish
to divest itself Of the RESPONSE
bility it should not be per-
mitted to do so.
II is hard to conceive, of
: course. of any Secretary of
State willingly relinquishing
control over the people who
speak for America abroad,
whether they speak in person,
by radio or through the
printed word. This is q func-
ton Of his own Office. Hand
ing 1t over to another could
cause nothing but confusion.

hard that for a long time he
didn't like to talk about it.
But then, they thought, he
wasn't much Of a babbler, even
when things were going well In
the Senate.
They figured also that he
had been trained In a tough
school and would in time be
reconciled to the turn of
events. He had, after all,
been his fathers secretary in
World War I when, after
Fighting Bob had voted
against the declaration Of war,
other Senators would get off
an elevator when the La Fol-
lettes stepped into it.
Young Bob's bitterness, how
ever, persisted. He resented
Mccarthy sitting in the seat
that had been his and his
fathers. The contrast between
what they had stood for and
the line Mccarthy was taking
underlined his Illustration.
A heart attack struck about
the time that Mccarthy was
beginning to attain the status
Of Wisconsin's most prominent
citizen. This meant that La
Toilette could not work so
hard. He was already denied
the relaxation of golf or other
physical exercise by a leg all
ment. so that he could not
spend long and healing hours
outdoors in the company of
men with whom he could

conversation took place be-
tween the Senator and one Of
the local party bigwigs In his
faraway State regarding some
appointments. Before hanging
up, the Senator asked his
friend how things were going
in that area. The Senator
laughed and told the man at
the other end that he must
have a dictaphone in his Office.
When the conversation ended,
the Senator said: 1T really Is
remarkable; my friend re-
peated exactly what you were
saying and added that the
people in my State were be-
coming uneasy lest we may
tend to back away from the
strong policies we advocated
during and after the elec-
tions."
This fear may be unwar-
ranted since the new leaders Of
Government who have been in
Office for such a short time
are faced with a domestic
and international situation
unprecedented in our history.

was due only in part to the
fact that young Bob" could
no longer practice the pro-

he had literally spent his life.
He is described as feeling also
that a great tradition went
down, a great State was re-
Progressing and that he had
somehow failed his father,
Fighting Bob.
The former Senator had had
no trouble making excellent
business connections following
his defeat by Senator Joseph
Mccarthy in the 1916 Repub-

private means. Since the

After the bitter campaign

Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam.
the draft resolution sent by the
White House to Congress ap-
pears to many Congressman
unduly soft.
Neither the foreign-born
Americans whose home coun-
tries are now enslaved by the
Reds nor the subjected peoples
themselves expect any i'm
mediate results from a stronger
declaration. Neither do the
Japanese political men seri-
ously consider a mere denun-
citation of the Yalta agree
ment tantamount to the re-
turn of Sakhalin and the Ku-
rile Islands. But Americans and
foreigners who had to suffer
from the MuscoviteS' thirst for
power expect the Government
to express itself in strong, clear
language instead of the diplo-
matte mush used so frequently
by the past administration.
Those who want, for do
mestic political reasons, to find
mitigating circumstances for
these secret executive decisions
say the Yalta agreement was
necessary since the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the military
commanders in the field
desperately wanted RuSsia's
support in the war against
Japan. And there was no other
way. they say, to obtain that
help. How accurate that as
sumption is cannot be ascer-
tanned definitely now. Admiral

BAVARIA SHUTS OUT DPS

MUNICH. (JTA)-The Bavarian
Cabinet decided last week to ban
the return to Bavaria of Jewish dis
placed persons who left Germany
for Israel after the war.
In announcing this decision, Prof.
The0dor Oberlaender, Bavarlan
State Secretary for Refugees, salc
that 386 Jewish DPS had come to
Germany illegally" in recent
wears and that the majority OF
them are at present in the only
Jewish DIP camp in West Germany,
located at Foehrenwald, near
Munich.
The Bavarian State Secretary,
who was at one time high-rank-
ing Nazi in German-occupied Uk-
raine and Crimea, claimed that 600
Jewish DPS are now en- route from
Israel to Germany and that many
more are now in Italy and Austria
waiting for an opportunity to enter
Germany.
When the Foehrenwa1d camp was
placed under German administra-
ton in 1851 by the US. authorities,
it was considered a test case OF
the goodwill of the Bavarian au-
thorities. Knowing that they were
being watched, they appointed
camp manager who was himself
a non-Jewish victim of the Nazis
and who surrounded himself with a
staff sympathetic to Jews. The Jew
ish DPS in the camp were more
or less satisfied with the admins
tration of the camp and registered
no serious complaints.
New Policy Feared
The policy of creating order in
Foehrenwald' which has been an
nounced by Secretary Oberlaender
is taken as an indication that the
Ravarian authorities are adopting
a new attitude toward the only
Jewish DIP camp in Germany. This
policy. it is feared, will result IN
friction between the camp admin
istration and the Jewish DPS, some
of whom have returned from Israel,
but only in the expectation OF being
able to collect compensation pay
ments due them, or to be able to
proceed from Germany to Canada
or the United States.
