EDEN DEFENDS THE POLES FTER Prime Minister Churchill's recent extreme praise of Russian policy in Poland and the house of commons vote of confidence, it surprises some Americans that Foreign Minister Anthony Eden is now leading a diplomatic attack on Russia’s puppet Lublin regime. The paradox, however, is not mysterious: : . The commons vote meant that continued Churchill leadership in the war and Russian partnership were considered essential, but it did not mean that parliament approved the Polish setup. The people of England and their representatives in parliament are very sensitive to what is happening to their Polish allies. Hence the Eden move. . It will be recalled that Stalin at the Yalta conference, in return for territorial concessions in Poland, agreed to

Polish freedom and to broadening the Lublin regime into a |

representative provisional government aceeptable to Britain and the United States. goes on operating. As a result Poland is left without rep‘resentation at the forthcoming San Francisco conference of the united nations, and patriots inside Poland are subject to various forms of terror. o o ” ” SO WEDNESDAY in commons, Eden expressed his strong distrust of the Lublin regime. He warned that its persecution of loyal and anti-axis Poles, because they prefer the London Polish government in exile, must cease, Otherwise, he added, the British government can have no confidence in the Moscow negotiations for a new Warsaw cabinet. ; He said that Moscow, at his request, had released the wife of the premier of the Polish government in exile.-But ‘London Poles followed with an announcement that the Russians had arrested and deported the leader of the Polish Conservative party. There is no reason to believe that the persecution of Poles, which has reached such large proportions, will cease until Stalin gives the order. But the British government deserves praise for its public protest. We hope that President Roosevelt, who shouldered such a heavy responsibility at Yalta for the Poles, will do no less.

CONGRESS AND TREATIES

REP LOUIS LUDLOW is quite correct in his assertion that the proposed constitutional amendment to approve treaties by a simple majority vote of both house and senate would further weaken congress. It would do more. It would also weaken treaties.” There has been mich criticism lately of the fact that 33. senators—one more than one-third of the membership} —can prevent-the United States from making a treaty with another nation. But the provision didn’t get into the constitution by accident. = A treaty is an obligation of all the people, not just of

What I want to tell you is that I've finally got my hands on a train ticket and it looks as if I might be getting gut of here sometime today. Well, it is not exactly a ticket, it is a letter of introduction to the engineer of the Champion which is the name of the train though I have yet to learn whether this is a heavyweight champion or a flyweight champion or whether the sinister figure of Mike Jacobs lurks in te background. !

Here is how the .business of the letter came about.

The man of science listened thoughtfully ... “I know all about engineers and engineering,” heesaid modestly. “Now let's consider your situation from the standpoint of pure logic. Who takes the train out of the station? The engineer. Who should you see dif you want to be on the train when it leaves the station? The engineer, of course.

WORLD

I Te France's Position By William Philip Simms

MEXICO CITY, Match, 9. — There is ‘widespread regret here over Gen. De Gaulle's refusal to accept the Big Three invitation to become one of the sponsors of the united nations conference at San Francisco. France .has nothing but friends here and none more loyal than the United States. Yet every delegate with whom I have discussed the matter fears her stand may be harmful to her best interests. Most of them suspect that »perhaps Gen. De Gaulle may be. allowing his personal super-sensi-tiveness stand in the way of what is best for his country. The allies, it is pointed out, have been most generous in their treatment of France. All want to see her restored to her ‘traditional greatness, They are still giving of their blood and treasure that §he may be free. And none has been more generous than the United States.

Not only would France and Russia have to vote for action, but so would the United States, Britain and China. Any one of the Big Five could veto the use of force. But, it is remarked, the same rule would apply to the Act of Chapultepec. Normally, the act's | curity clauses would work automatically—like the Franco-Russian alliance.

attitude toward world planning for peace must exercise control of their own army and be left free to render what military aid they desire to extend. There is a sentimental attitude that by signing up with representatives of various powers we secure strength; but im nine times out of 10, we merely underwrite what ventures the majority seek to embark upon. The people will in the long run exercise. more power by staying out of such organizations, and in the political world, the isolationists have the better of the argument. But, like fads and fash‘lions, these organizations must run their course and if we embark upon this untried venture of foreign alliances, it is the people who will have to. pay the bill, as they have always done. Freedom js not an abstract term —it means just what it spells and we should be free to aid or hinder without dictation from any power, and our first consideration should be for the people of the United States of America.
