The Irish and Catholic
Power
BY Paul Blanshard.
Beacon; $780,
Mr.. Blanshard also ad-
dresses himself to Ireland's
problems but from quite
different vantage point. His
book Is intended as a warn
ing about what to expect
should the Catholics ever take
over America. a doubtful even
tuality. Ireland, he says, is a
democracy in name only; it
is actually a clerical state,
which combines the CONT
mental and medieval ecclesi-
astical monarchy of Rome
with a modern, streamlined
parliamentary system" The
priests control the schools and
the hospitals, they invade the
field of social services. Gen.
sorship, incidentally, has
reached the point where even
the innocuous Frances Parki-
son Keyes has been banned.
After investigating clerical
education, the partition prob
lem and Irish history, he
moves over to America, where
he sees the Irish dominating
the hierarchy. Mr.. Blanshard's
dim view of the American
hierarchy is we'll known to
readers of American Free
dom and Catholic Power" and
Communism, Democracy and
Catholic Power"
I think that, although there
is no organized anti-clerical-
ism in Ireland, many young
people resent the power of the
clergy in Ireland-but not for
the reasons Mr.. Blanshard
gives. These things are in any
case better said by the family,

This is the book of Sir Win
ston's Illustrations in contrast
to his previous volumes, with
their spirit of high adventure
and their hard-won triumphs
after black days.
But the Illustrations do not
diminish his stature. His
judgment of the future was,
as usual. brilliantly sound. He
tried in vain to keep Russia
from pushing deep into Eu-
rope-to stay there. In the
end he engages in no recrimi-
nations.
If the backs-to-the-wall
heroism of the earlier volumes
is lacking, the account of the
final stages of the war and of
the Yalta and Potsdam Con-
ferences is absorbing. The
Nobel Prize for Literature,
awarded for his earlier VOL
umes and for his speeches, may
well crown this volume, too.
The book has, already had
newspaper and magazine seri-
alization.
Sir WinSton'S Illustrations
begin when he could not OBJ
tain agreement to forgo the
weakening of the allied forces
in Italy for the invasion of
Southern France. He saw an
alluring picture Of a sweep up
the Italian peninsula and then
an end run toward Istria and
on toward Vienna.
In Moscow in January, 1945,
he described the grand alli-
ance as "at it's peak" He and
Stain could transact business
together speedily.
Postwar Trouble
Thereafter came Yalta. The
agreement on the Polish ques-
ton reached there, he writes,
would have served it's purpose
If carried out with loyalty
and good faith" 1t soon be-
came clear the Soviet govern
ment was not going to do that.
. "As war waged by a coali-
ton draws to its end political
aspects have a mounting i'm
portance." Sir Winston writes.
: But at that moment there was
a deadly hiatus" between
"the fading of President
Roosevelt'S strength and the
growth of President Truman's
grip of the vast world prob
lem" Britain and the United
States were at the height of
their power when the Ger
mans surrendered. Sir Win
Ston pleaded for postponement
of the withdrawal of the Brit
ish and American troops to the
lines agreed on earlier until
problems were worked out
with Russia. Mr.. Truman, Sir
Winston writes, found it i'm
possible to agree to postpone
ment; he had been advised it
would harm our relations with
Russia. And so the Russians
moved into the center of
Europe.
Mr.. Truman, no doubt, was
more concerned with the con-
tinuing war with Japan than
was the British Prime Min
lister.
Illustration was the fate Of
the final conference of the

were formidable questions, but

Wet Mans S Premier
Cool 10 Negotiation

SAIGON, 1ndo-C China, Sept. 26.
Wet Nam Premier Nguyen Van

to end the war in Indo-China "is
to beat the Wet Mini militarily
and diSperse their armies"
He was commenting on the
statement made in the United
Nations yesterday by Maurice

if they really desire peace in
Indo-China.
The premier said he had great
reservations on negotiations with
Peiping and Moscow.
Mr.. Tam declared he would
have no faith in any Chinese
Communist promise to stop send
ing aid to the Wet Mimi. He said
it would be impossible to deter
mine whether such a promise
was being kept.
Mr.. Tam said "since the Wet
Mimi are incapable of defeating
us militarily and we can inf1ict
on the Wet Mini a decisive de-
feat, negotiations would have the
effect of giving the Wet Mimi
an enormous advantage over us. "

Big Three Reported
Studying East-West
Security Treaties
By the Associoted Press

LONDON. Sept. 26.-The Big
Three Western powers were re-
ported today to be mulling over
ideas for series of far-reaching
security pacts for proposal to the
Soviet Union.
Informed diplomats said one
plan under study-but not widely
supported-would create a de-
militarized zone along both sides
of the Polish German border.
Another suggestion was said to
be for separate security treaties
between the United States and
Russia; Britain and Russia; the
six-dation European Defense
Community and Russia. Pre-
sumably each signatory nation
would be bound to support the
other side in the event Of an
unprovoked attack.
The United States, Briton and
France were reported inter-
changing thoughts on the pro-
posals.
Would Be Unique.
Such a many-sided security
system between great rival power
blocs would be unique in modern
diplomatic history. The United
States, for instance, never has
entered any peacetime treaty
with Communist Russia.
If the Western allies agree on
the proposals, they may have the
opportunity of putting them to
Russia next month. The SovietS
have been asked to join a con-
ference of foreign ministers on
the German and Austrian ques-
tions at Lugano, Switzerland,
