~ Time and again at the San Francisco conference of all the United Nations, as well as in the Big Three and foreign ministers’ meetings, Russia has ruled by the simple expedient of “waiting for instructions” and so deadlocked the negotiations until she got her way. It never seemed to us, however, that Russia was solely to blame for this. If the other nations were so stupid or helpless as to invite such treatment, it was hardly surprising that Moscow would act accordingly.

When the Russian delegate moved to postpone the security council, which was going against him, Secretary _of State Byrnes cut loose. He pointed out that Russia and all the others had been given plenty of time to prepare, and that if Russia could postpone this action any other nation any time would have an equal right to block the assembly on any othét vote. Britain, of course, agreed.

PLACES WILL FAIL THEM” : By Harrison White, Indianapolis * Commentators say “the world. is at peace, but there is too much ill will among men all over the world.” This ill will which seems to be so rampant is not actually between men as man to man, but is superinduced by the thin propaganda put out to cover the deceit in high places, seeking continued and final control over the people of the earth, which causes the tribulation of all nationals now as in ages past,“of all colors, degrees and Fetigions under the sun. Lk The word democracy as propaganda has been stretched out to cover so much, its thinness makes the deceit beneath so apparent. You heard someone say “things don't just happen, they are planned that way.” On V-J day, Gen. MacArthur pointed to the Philippines as having “the ideal government for all Asia.” Shortly after Paul McNutt, the high commissioner to the Philippines (said, “I am going to institute the good soldfer policy in the Philip-

lo, and_his OPA satellites for |Pnes—do0 as you are told.”

Koreans looking to us as: their benefactor, shoot down American soldiers because our secretary of state faithlessly added communism to their control. Our secretary of state does the same thing to Japan with a Communist veto over Gen. MacArthur, Because Communists stir up internal strife in China, we propose China, our best ally, is not capable of self government, then our administration proceeds to tell the world what kind of a government China must have, then propose China should lie down witn communism; at the same time the present administration fails to govern the United States of America because of Communist induced wave of strikes all over this country. Every time death to the American way of life i§ uncovered in the administration, anyone who would be for America is hooted down. The Dies committee, Gen. Hurley and the administration's treatment of Gen. Patton are examples. Never before has it been American policy to keep kicking an adversary in the face after he is down and cries for mercy. ’ All of the world's present fears that are- leading to continued war or hell as you choose to call it against Spain, Finland, Turkey, Iran, the Holy Lands, Argentina, Denmark, Sweden and from within against the United States is superinduced behind the prestige of the foreign policy of this administration. I do not believe it is t00 late for ycongress to take the neckband of internationalism from the throat of America; we must meet this inflation and go through it; it can be done with a congress that would be right with American industry and the American home; the New Deal must be liquidated or we will be forced intd communism as the obJective of the New Deal. We have gone through V-E day, V-J day and we are now approaching that day when the best laid plans of those in the high places will fail them.

WORLD AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—There is still considerable uneasiness in United Nations circles over. the Soviet Union's attitude towards the UNO whose genera] assembly is now in session in London. It is feared she may yet walk out. Technically, Russia is just -as solidly in the UNO as the United States, Great Britain or any of the other 48 nations. Nevertheless, it is observed, there is a considerable difference. : While Washington, London and western democracles generally are backing the new world organization with everything they've got, and hail it as mankind's “last chance” of salvation, Moscow remains strangely, but definitely lukewarm. When. Secretary of State Byrnes returned from Moscow a fortnicht ago, it was’ said that his long journey was worth while because it made certain that Foreign Commissar Molotov would attend the meeting in London. Mr. Molotov's presence, it was remarked, would be an indication that Russia was giving the UNO its full support.

Commissars Too Busy BUT MR. ‘MOLOTOV is not at the meeting. He is “too tir-4.” .ir. Byrnes, older and less robust, is there despite four recent Atlantic crossings. So are the foreign ministers of Britain, France and other countries. Not only did MY. Molotov stay away but so did his vice commissars who correspond to our assistant secretaries of state.

Russian UNO Stand Still Uncertain

It is an historic occasion. It marks the start of the UNO's official existence as the world’s new peacesaver, Hence, all nations—especially the Big Three— were expected to send top-level delegations, and did— all save Russia. Mr, Vishinsky may now be in London. But neither he nor his chief was there for the assembly opening. Another straw in the wind is the treatment ace corded the UNO meeting by the Soviet press. Pravda, an organ of the Kremlin, devoted eight lines to the assembly opening on Jan. 10. On the same day the New Times, another voice, emphasized the role of the Big Three—rather than the UNO—in directing world

NEVER has a Soviet official indicated that Russia —

regards the UNO as a substitute for a strong foreign policy .of her own, or as taking the place of “the victorious Soviet-Anglo-American coalition” in post~ war affairs, It is this attitude which is continuing to cause anxiety. From the outset Russia has been “from Missouri” with regard to the UNO. She’ has steadily organized her own chain of buffer states all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific, along her southerrr border. In fact, she is still working at it regardless of what the UNO or anybody else may think. Today, therefore, Russia remains uncommitted to the UNO, insofar as her people are concerned, Were the United States to quit, it would shock Americans hardly less than the first atomic bomb. It would split the country wide open: - Were Moscow to walk out, however, the Russians wouldn't bat an. eye. The Kremlin ‘still retains a perfectly -free hand.

College ‘Clearing Houses’ Urged

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Establishment of regional clearing houses to co-ordinate university enrollment under .the G.I. bill of rights was urged today by a veterans administration spokesman. - H. V. Stirling, assistant administrator for rehabili tation and education, predicted this will eliminate an “educational bottleneck” which has. turned thousands away in some schools while others operate below capacity. Mr. Stirling revealed full extent of congestion at the top ‘when he reported 41 per cent of ex-G.1's are now enrolled in 38 schools. At the same time, a survey of 1202 colleges uncovered 400,000 openings. With ‘a normal capacity of 1,336,000 stuttenta, they have 936,000 enrollments.

Openings in Smaller Colleges “SMALL LIBERAL arts colleges report ample facilities for thousands which are not being used,” he said. “We cannot expect. a handful to take all the load nor can we reasonably expect them to expand abnormally, while others can help.” The top five in G. I. enrollment are New York

2200, Washington (Seattle) with 2008, and Southern California with 2000. ' Others are Colorado university, Denver, California, Chicago, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Marquette, Houston, Georgia Tech, Illinois Tech at Chicago, Illinois, Northwestern, De Paul, Indiana, Purdue, Louisiana, Tulane, Iowa State, Boston, Harvard, Michigan, Michigan State, Wayne, Minnesota, Cornell, Syracuse, Ohio State, Pennsyl-

He warned veterans against “hysterical crowding” at the start of the program. ° “There is plenty of time,” he said. “On Dec. 28, congress extended from two to four years the time for starting an education and providing nine years for completion.” He said veterans seeking admissien to particular schools and turned away would do well to put their names on waiting lists for the next term. Meanwhile, effective solution of the housing probe lem appeared lost somewhere between the war department, surplus property board and federal public housing authority. FPHA said its allocation of 20,000 temporary units to schools has been used or is being assigned. It can allocate only those units certified to them as surplus by the army and navy. The army engineers’ disposal branch, on the other hand, said it can provide “all the houses they want” —another 100,000 if need be—but is limited to filling requests from FPHA.

Laments British Critics Abroad

LONDON, Jan. 15.—During the Napoleonic wars, Charles James Fox and the Whigs never ceased denounéing Prime Minister Pitt and the Tories for waging what they considered an unjust, anti-liberal war. If Fox had been alive during the recent war, he certainly would have been incarcerated under the home security act. In 1803, shortly after the Treaty of Amiens, Fox. went to Paris, where he was received by Napaleon,

had a sympathetic audience, complained in bitter terms about Pitt and wound up my saying, “And now I have positive proof that, not content with waging war against France, Mr, Pitt is now plotting. to have ‘me assassinated.” Fox replied, your mind.” I've always thought this anecdote about Fox provides a model of how Englishmen should conduct themselves abroad. However bitterly they may quarrel at home, a united front should be presented in other countries. The majority of Englishmen, for the most part, unconsciously behave this way.

Critical of Ambassador. A LAMENTABLE exception to this rule, however, is A by the recent expedition to Jugoslavia of a dozen members of the house of commons, Although 10 out of 12 were members of the Labor party, they did not scruple to attack their own Foreign. Secretary. Bevin wherever they went, making plain that they thought he was pursuing 'a reactionary policy. They showed a similar distrust and hostility toward the British representatives they encountered in Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Trieste. In. Belgrade they were received by British Am-' bassador Sir. Ralph Stevenson. They asked him to: give them his views on Jugoslavia. When they’ found he took a somewhat, less rosy view than they did of. ; their spokesmen, ba bs

When they discovered that 20 or 30 of the British troops in Belgrade, providing essential services for the ‘embassy, were critical of certain features of the Coms= munistic regime, Mrs. Leah Manning announced that this was due to the fact that British troops had rela. tions with Chetnik girls. Again, when Mrs. Manning paid a visit of only a few hours to Trieste and discovered that the few British soldiers with whom she talked did not favor the idea of ceding this port to Tito, she declared to a member of General Harding's staff that this was due to the fact that British troops had been corrupt« ed by Italian girls, who, unfortunately, were prettier than the Slovenes,

Mixed. on Members AFTER HER return to London, Mrs. Manning made a speech in the house of commons giving fellow members the benefit of her Balkan impressions. Have ing mistaken Mr. Kenneth Pickthorn, member of parliament for Cambridge university, for Brigadier PFitaroy MacLean, the member for Lancaster, Mrs, Manning delivered a brusque attack upon the latter under the misapprehension that he had made a speech which, in fact, had been made by the former, This unlucky mistake about identity led Mrs, Manning into the observation that she wished Briga« dier MacLean had “had the courage to accompany her | to Belgrade” It is hard to judge what particular dangers Mrs, Manning envisaged, but Brigadier Mace Lean had parachuted into Jugoslavia three times dure ing the war I recently covered a large part of the same route as was traversed by the British parliamentarians, and 1 talked to more than 20 British officers and officials who had the privilege of meeting this strange deputation, Every single one of them told me that whens ever they gave the members of parliament any infore mation or offered any opinion ‘which in any way cone flicted with what the deputation had been told by the Jugoslavs, thé members of parliament insisted on bee lleving what shey had been told by the Jigoslavs and
