WHAT IS STALIN TRYING TO DO?

STALIN'S demand that his Polish Lublin regime be-seat-ed at San Francisco is another of several serious Moscow blows at united nations political unjty. “Russia has failed to carry out the Yalta agreement to set up a new provisional Polish government representing all major democratic parties. Because the Lublin Poles are still a puppet government, Roosevelt and Churchill have flatly refused Stalin's demand. Stalin’s purpose is not clear. He knew his demand would not be accepted. Why then: did he make it?

8 n.8 . FV. 5 8

ONE THEORY in Washington and London, where officials have not yet recovered from the surprise, is that Russia is inventing an excuse for withdrawing from the Golden Gate. conference. Evidence of this is not entirely lacking. Stalin already has deflated San Francisco's significance by withdrawing Foreign Commissar Molotov as head of the Russian delegation—again breaking a Yalta pledge. This, of course, fits in with Stalin's general unwill_ingness to submit to any international process or decision which he cannot control. And, despite all the veto ‘powers which Roosevelt and Churchill have granted to Stalin, the conference may refuse to rubber-stamp the Russian set-up. Nevertheless, we find it hard to accept the theory that Stalin made his latest move for the purpose of sabotaging the Golden Gate conference. Though we rarely. can follow his reasoning, we hold to the assumption that he is trying to advance Russian interests at any cost. Wrecking this conference would not help Russia. It would destroy Big Three post-war co-operation, which is essential not only to us and Britain-but particularly to Russia. Only a fool would deliberately throw that away—and we don’t think Stalin is a feo! by a long shot.

r # J = ” ”

ANOTHER THEORY among the stunned allied diplomats seems more plausible. It is simply that Stalin is resorting to the oldest diplomatic strategy—making extreme demands to build up a better bargaining position. Maybe he can use this {o delay the promised Polish réorganization until Roosevelt and Churchill accept a windowdressing change in Warsaw. Maybe he can obtain the exclusion of Argentina by agreeing fully to the exclusion ‘of his present Warsaw puppets from San Francisco. Or maybe he thinks he can get more secret agreements out of Roosevelt and Churchill by this maneuver. . "But-—whatever the explanation—in the seven. weeks since Yalta, Stalin figs weakened allied political unity. * Though we doubt. that fie intends to wretk that unity, we do not doubt that he may wreck it by going too far beyond the danger point. If Roosevelt and Churchill can convince him that this danger is immediate, there is still an gpportunity for Russia to play thg heroic role in -peaceinaking that she has played in the nearing defeat of Naziism.

Some came out of it with ‘one leg missing, a great many With both gone. Later you learn these fellows, back from Italy and the battle of.the bulge, are victims of land mines. It seems a land mine strikes low and over a wide circle.

one of these veterans was a casualty you might not have suspected it. In some instances you would "want to bet against it. They carry themselves so perfectly, a tribute both to what the army is doing for its wounded and what the fellows are doing for themselves. It must take a great deal of patience, plus pride, for a legless youngster—or éven a youngster with one®*leg—to master these mechanical devices (the best the world produces, by the way) and in the end to regain a certain balance and equilibrium.

| 'At Once Tragic and Stirring’

TO WATCH them as they,come in and climb to their seats is at once tragic and stirring. Tragic | for obvious reasons. Stirring because they keep their | chins high, seem light-hearted and give you a group | impression that, come hell or high water, they are | going to walk again so that not even their next door neighbor will be able to detect the slightest show of stiffness in their leg movements. . The game was under way when a captain and a first lieutenant came in looking for seats. They paused in front of where I was sitting. The captain walked with a cane. It was obscene to speculate whether one or both legs were gone. The only vacant seats were five rows up. and there were wide, dangerous gaps in between the rows. “Think you can make it up there, Jack?” the lieutenant asked. : “Hell, I can make it anywhere” the captain answered. And he did, pridefully, a little awkwardly, and, I couldn't help but feel, a little painfully, and probably more than a little.

was revealing and, I guess, unforgettable. As I said, this section was filled ‘with wounded veterans, but as the captain struggled to get to his seat not one offered to assist him, not even the lieutenant who was with him.. There appears to be a Spartan code that the wounded help themselves.

"They Are Nice on the Eyes'

MIDWAY IN THE GAME I left and joined the Easter parade. I know nothing about chic hats or form-fitting frocks exeept they are nice on the eyes, especially the latter. What caught my eye and did little things to my emotions were—well, here's a sergeant pushing a baby buggy. There are six stripes

AR Mobilizer James F. Byrnes, who submitted his rest —'¢" —ignation yesterday, closed the books with another | zood report to the President and congress.

IN HIS FINAL report, besides renewing those basic proposads, Mr. Byrnes outlines what. the country can expect | n the months following the defeat of Germany.

{ Poor Start By Wm. Philip Simms

« WASHINGTON, April 3.— The Golden Gate conference of the united nations, now barely three | weeks off, is approaching in a manner which can scarcely delight anyone -except Adolf Hitler and the desperate gang | about him. ; Few here openly criticize the Yalta decision to call the meeting for April 25 because the Big Three probably did not know the war in Europe would move so swiftly. It is the private view of some united nations diplomats, however, that it was a mistake. { At this moment the Nazis have but a single fortorn | hope and that is a break among the allies.

Points have been placed on lunch meats and raised so high on good cuts of meat ‘that everyone. wishes to save as many points as possible to buy better cuts if he can get them. The result is that thousands of people who formerly edartied a lunch are now buying their lufbh at a cafeteria. Furthermore, whole families that are short on points are now eating meals at restaurants that never did before. The result of this is that there is at present a large oversupply of lunch meat. . If you happen to be a butcher and want to get any fresh meat, bacon or ham, you are simply compelled to buy lunch meat whether you want it or not.

Our Rhine

By Thomas L. Stokes

ALONG THE RHINE, April 3.— We came in our rough-riding jeep —Capt: ‘Robert Graham of Philadelphia, formerly of Atlanta, Ga. and myself—to the Rhine a few days ago at the very piteh of excitement, just when Gen. Patton's 3d ‘army was starting its crossing. The armies are far away now, Facing across Gers many. At every camp where we stopped we watched the distance to Berlin grow shorter as briefing of= ficers recounted the day's progress and shared the enthusiasm about this climactic assault on Nazi Gers many. You could feel the keen rivalry among the armies which infected even the veteran war cors respondents to whom it all is old stuff now. Even before the armies pushed across the river in this new advance, while they were waiting poised upon its banks, the Rhine had assumed an . American atmosphere, like the Hudson or che C.no,

'Fotgotten Man of the Supply Forces' AMERICAN BOYS are everywhere along its® banks. .The ‘road signs in English direct -you to their many outfits. “The fellow who paints the signs is the forgotten man of the supply forces, He rides for miles, and complains, as one of them did: “I go everywhere—but I never se¢ anything.” There was evidence that the enemy still was Just across the Rhine, at various spots. At Coblenz an MP informed us that there still was machine gun fire at the docks, back and forth across the river, and that the Germans still were tossing in an occasional; shell from their howitzers. The snipers across the Rhine are cracking away, too, at any random target that offers itself in wrecked Cologne, we learned when we stopped there a few hours. The frayed strands of a war which has moved much farther away still are manifest in little pockets or resistance. But the American soldiers along the Rhine, in the supply forces and in the reserves wait ing to move forward, pay no attention, nor do the inhabitants of this now liberated valley. The chile dren go right on playing in front of their homes, not even looking up at the occasional burst of artillery from the heights above the river from both sides, as the guns snarl lazily at each other,

'Rhine Valley Is a Lovely Place’ WE PASSED American soldiers playing base ball on a beautiful spring afternoon. We saw some pitching horseshoes. Three of them had a speed« bot and were racing up and down the river. One was washing his clothes in the Rhine. Another was writing a letter which inay have begun: “Dear Mary Jane: I'm writing this on the banks of the Rhine. It's not so much of a river, but there sure is some pretty scenery, castles way up on the hills, and nice little houses along the banks like I would like to have for you some day.” The Rhine valley is a lovely place. We crossed the river first on a pontoon bridge, one of several thrown up hastily by those engineer outfits which do their jobs so quickly and so well. Just in front of us, in the convoy moving supplies across to the armies ahead, was a truck chuck full of K rations, a sign that the boys are in the field and must take their food along with them. Honningen was a shambles in sections.” One old woman was down in her gutted ground floor, “walking around, feeling the pipes in her kitchen, A deserted cow mooed forlornly from somewhere within another row of wrecked homes. Among papers lying around in a blasted garage was an adyertisement of a 1938 Ford model—a paper symbol of the time before all this began.
