New Defense Set-Up

UCCESS of the armed services unification will depend largely on the willingness and ability of-the three noncabinet secretaries of the army, navy and air to work as a team after the “unification kickoff” scheduled for next month, ’ "The three divisions of the national military establishment are made co-equal under the unification act. Teamwork is the core of the new security organization. In filling the new positions, the President did—the natural thing: He promoted the men whose most recent assignments are closest in line with the new duties. As secretary of the army, he chose Kenneth C. Royall, now secretary of war, who served 19 months as undersecretary and four months as special assistant to the Secretary. As secretary of navy he selected John L. Sullivan, undersecretary for the past 14 months and assistant secretary for a year previously. As secretary for air he named W. Stuart Symington, assistant secretary for air for the past 18 months and previously an army consultant. To All three appointees have had ample experiénce to fit them for their new posts. All are familiar with the aims and purposes of congress and the President in the unification experiment. All enjoy sufficient confidence among senators to make certain their confirmations. Messrs. Royall, Sullivan and Symington will enter their new jobs with great opportunities to serve the country. They will succeed if they adhere to the spirit of team play which the new law intends.

Neither side is free from guilt. - Senator Lodge's fight against the treaty was as indefensible as was the President's first attempt to negotiate peace practically without the senate. As Talleyrand is reported to have said: “It was worse than a crime—it was a blunder.” Stir these three draughts of politics—of Donnelly, Ingersoll and the peace makers of world war I in the mixing bowl of a free-for-all American political fight on a low level. You then have a political brew that leaves intelligent men unfit to ‘make a treaty of peace to calm and guide the bitter, wrangling world that came after world war I. Yet you have

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—-The U. 8. is making plans to take over most of the cost of governing— and building up—the combined American zones in western Germany, it was learned here today. Britain and the U. 8. now share the cost on a 50-50 basis. London can't go on carrying its share of the total burden much longer, Washington is convinced. Either London must be relieved of a large part of the load it is now carrying in the Reich or the British will have to pull out of Germany altogether.

Step Would Avoid Red Clash

IF BRITAIN PULLS OUT of Germany, one—or both—of two things will happen, as Washington sees it. First, the British zone would “probably break down in starvation, rioting and disease. Second, there would almost certainly be an appalling crisis between the U. 8. and Russia as to

as would amount to amendment.” The amendmens . Nov. 14: “The United States assumes no obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political indee pendence of any other country or to interfere with & controversies between nations, whether members of . the League of Nations or not, under the provision of . article 10, or to employ the military or naval forces - of the United States under any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless in any particular case cone gress, which under the constitution has the sole power to declare war or authorize the employmens of the military and naval forces of the United States shall by act or joint resolution so provide.” Thus America was gast into the midchannel drifé of world affairs July 2, 1921, when President Warren G. Harding signed a peace resolution ending world war I.

forces to seize control of the British zone conjures up visions of disaster which cause officials to break out in a cold sweat. Undisputed Russian control of the British mone would mean that most of the rest of western Europe would soon fall under Russian-Communist dominge tion. This would be a disaster to the VU. 8. the administration believes. Accordingly, officials here are working out ways and means for the U. 8, to relieve the British of a large part of their present burdem in Germany, Britain would stay on in Germany, if these efforts were successful, and thus there would be no crisis with Russia. 4 The administration will ask congress to approve these “ways and means” as part of the "Marshall plan.” It cost Britain $560 million to keep up its sone in Germany up to March 31 this year—exclusive of
