German Unity THE OCCUPATION OF GERMANY will soon be making the headlines. Last week Ameri- ca stopped reparations shipments to Russia from the Americsan zone of occupation, and Moscow Radio has decried this action as an attempt to form an Anglo-American block against Russia. The administration of Germany as a single eco- nomic unit will be the issue at stake when the foreign ministers meet on June 15. The plans for Germany's occupation estab- lished at Potsdam last August were based on the presumption that Germany would be con- trolled as a single economic unit under the con- trol of a four-power council in Berlin. The same attitude prevailed last March 26 when the re- parations agreements were signed. The theory was that German production would soon be r- sumed and that non-essential industrial plants could be taken as reparations. Under these agreements Rtissia was to receive 15 per cent of all non-essential industrial plants in western Germany for which she would pay in food, coal, and other mineral products, and an additional 10 per cent which she would receive without making any payment. Unfortunately, this system has not worked out. Production in Germany is far behind schedule. American AMG officials lay the blame on Rus- sia. The Russian zone contains the raw mater- ials that the highly industrialized American zone must have in order to increase or even maintain production, and Russia has thus far opposed a free flow of goods between the sepa- rate zones. Consequently only a trickle of raw materials has reached the American zone and production has been stalled. American deliveries have been halted "to safe- guard the economy of our zone" in the event that Germany is never to be administered as a whole. The American policy, as announced by military government officials is: "If Germany is to be divided permanently, our denuding of industry in our zone would merely give us the dubious pleasure of always having to support Ger- many." The fact that our $1,000,000,000 annual food shipment must be increased to prevent famine in our sector is an added argument for free exchange between the agrarian Russian zone and the industrial American zone. From both economic and political stand- points, unified control of Germany is desirable and necessary. However essential the objective may be, our action was certainly ill-timed, and it can scarcely be expected to further amiable Russian relations or to encourage united Allied control. Perhaps it is coincidental that the embargo was announced soon after the adjournment of the inconclusive Conference of Foreign Minis- ters in Paris. Even if we believe this, we still cannot deny the Russian accusation that we are lining up the sides for a permanently di- vided Germany by a move that plainly con- tradicts our previous decisions and agree- ments. Mr. Byrnes would probably term this move "diplomatic coercion." Whatever advantage this open break may add to our "fight Russia" cam- paign, it has little chance of accomplishing our avowed purpose of obtaining a free flow of trade or of establishing a central economic con- trol in Germany. -Tom Walsh U M am y Rva/n'e .lI NATIONAL POLITICS are grinding slowly into high-gear, and the old-liners from both parties are resorting to their usual tricks in the drive for re-election. The Republicans seized eagerly upon Presi- Dulles' Analysis On Soviet False IN ITS MAY 27TH ISSUE ever-aspiring Life presents an analysis of the Russian "problem" and concludes that there is no "misunderstand- ing" between Russia and the West; there is a conflict. The chief support offered by Life for its edi- torial conclusion is the current Russian aggres- sion in Europe and Asia. This conclusion repre- sents a dangerous confusion of Soviet aims and Soviet methods. In the June 3rd issue of Life, John Foster Dulles, scholarly analyst of international af- fairs, concludes: SOVIET LEADERS ASSUME THAT PEACE AND SECURITY DEPEND UPON QUICKLY ACHIEVING WORLDWIDE ACCEPTANCE OF SOVIET POLITICAL PHILO- SOPHY, WHICH SUPPRESSES CERTAIN PER- SONAL FREEDOMS IN THE INTEREST OF ACHIEVING SOCIAL HARMONY. If this conclusion is valid, then it would seem to substantiate the view expressed in the Life editorial. But is Dulles' conclusion entirely justified? WE DO NOT PRETEND to be able to inter-. pret the mystical silence of the Kremlin Politburo. But although we do not believe that Dulles intentionally "stacked the cards" in order to present an apparently irrefutable argument, yet he did not fail to deal in the ace of spades. For the purpose of discussion it is convenient to divide the world of Soviet influence into three distinct groups-an Inner Zone, a Middle Zone and an Outer Zone. It is the Middle Zone with which Life and Mr. Dulles are most con- cerned. The Middle Zone comprises territory, current- ly or recently occupied by Russian armies, which is nominally independent but whose governmen- tal policies are subjected to powerful Soviet influence. This wide belt extending almost un- broken along the Russian border includes Po- land, eastern Germany, 'Czechoslovakia, Eastern Austria, the Balkans, Outer Mongolia, Man- churia, northern Korea, and the Sinkiang Pro- vince of China. Dulles points out that there are current efforts to extend this zone to Greece, Iran, Turkey, Kurdistan and southern Korea. Many of the controversies, labelled as ag- gression in some quarters, in which Russia is currently engaged are actually nothing more than natural developments in long-standing, almost traditional, disputes. It is impossible to consider the Polish ques- tion objectively without some knowledge of the long and involved history of the struggle be- tween Poland and Russia. The road between Warsaw and Moscow is a much-travelled and bloody highway. The Iran controversy is not, as many believe, a manifestation of Soviet im- perialism; it is rather the natural outcome of a commercial rivalry in Iran between Britain and Russia that can be traced back to the first World War. IN THESE AND OTHER cases we should be wary of labelling Soviet expansion as "un- warranted aggression." Opportunistic leaders may be pressing more or less legitimate claims. Certainly these claims, legitimate or not, should not be evaluated merely on the basis of current dims and policies. Many Russians believe, not without some reason, that they are confronted by an Anglo- American bloc. If the present rightist tendencies in France continue, Russian suspicions of a solid bloc of the major Western powers will certainly be aroused. Soviet counter-strategy is to encour- age "friendly" governments in all bordering areas. The ultimate goal of Russian leaders is a wide protective belt of pro-communist gov- ernments encircling the Soviet Union and pro- viding a "barrier" against physical attack and the penetration of dangerous Western influence. The most obvious precedent for this type of foreign policy is our own wartime interpreta- tion of the Good Neighbor Policy. Certainly the establishment of "friendly" governments arbund the borders of the Soviet Union is no more aggressive in principle than is the at- tempt of the United States to establish a solid democratic front in Latin America for the ultimate purpose of strengthening its own position. If there is a discrepancy in the com- parison, it is the difference between the eco- nomic pressure used by the United States to accomplish this aim and the militaristic mea- sures employed by Russia. We agreed that Russian policies are ruthless. It is not easy to justify Soviet methods in the light of our own moral code. Soviet Middle Zone expansion, however, can be reasonably justified. Despite the implications of Life and Mr. Dulles, there is no reason to believe that this expansion of Soviet influence heralds World War III. -John Campbell dent Truman's proposed labor bill as a perfect opportunity to regain labor support for the GOP. Bob Taft, rightly termed "Ohio's senior obstacle to progress" by Sam Grafton, swarmed into the fray with indignation in his voice and votes on his mind . . . a new champion of or- ganized labor. This is, there is reason to believe, one in- stance in which experience may turn out to be a handicap. A man who has spent 25 years in politics has doubtless accumulated many facts which are unknown to the new-comer, but often he merely fits the new facts into the old pat- terns. That's the way it is with Taft. He has spent his life learning seventeen thousand ways to be elected senator from Ohio; but he refuses to pull back the curtains and let some light into that dark, medieval mind. He is still in the pros- perous year of 1929, before labor came of age. He seems really to believe that he can support the Case Bill which is designed to permanently hobble the American labor movement, knock the props out from under OPA, attack Great Britain and Russia, and still pose as- a "friend of labor" by simply attacking Mr. Truman's labor bill. Mr. Taft seems to believe that the majority of voters are still naive . . . the other possibility, of course, is that Mr. Taft is naive. In Georgia today there is another example of an attempt to win votes by the use of tactics which are as outmoded, as hopelessly obsolete, as those used by Taft. The Ku Klux Klan has emerged from its two years in the nether-world, and is once more prowling the roads by night and the polling places by day. They hope to drag out again the old campaign cry of "White Supremacy," bully and bluster their way into office, and then use their legal power to crush the growing strength of labor and the Negroes in the South. This is another attempt to divert the voters' attention from the real issue to a phoney issue, and then steal him blind while his back is turned. It's the technique of crying "Wolf" in the morning, and then unleashing the bear in mid-afternoon. In Georgia it is a ease of degenerate, moro- nic Gene Talmadge plucking his red galluses and announcing that he welcomes the sup- port of the KKK. In Ohio it is a case of de- ceitful, reactionary Bob Taft shaking hands with labor with his right hand while he beats its head in with his left. To say that these tactics are stupid and medie- val is not to say that they are merely humorous. They are also dangerous. Five thousand cowards with white robes and whips can kill tens and hundreds of defenseless citizens. The recent atrocity in Columbia, Tennessee should remind us that race riots and vicious brutality are not yet a memory only. The actions of both Talmadge and Taft are motivated by fear, fear of the growing organi- zation and activity among workers, Negroes, and poor farmers. We must not judge, as was sug- gested at the beginning of this column, that Taft and Talmadge are naive and have failed to see the storm. They see it clearly and are fright- ened by it. Every time the National Farmers Union gives another instance of its growing solidarity with labor, Taft becomes quickly pan- icky and digs deeper into his bag of demagogic tricks. When the National Negro Congress sends a telegram to the United Nations demanding an investigation "of the oppression of Negroes in the United States," Talmadge plucks his gal- luses more furiously and screams his epithets more loudly. Taft and Talmadge both fear that this unity of Negro, laborer, and farmer will sweep them onto the political scrap-heap. -Ray Ginger A nother 1919-1939? Looking at world events today and the out- come of the recent war brings a picture simi- lar to 1919 and 1920. The world has organized a security council which does not guarantee security, a debat- ing society similar to the League of Nations. The allies have demonstrated their inability to achieve world cooperation at the Big Three meeting at Paris. Wilson voiced his ideals at Paris also to a group of unhearing ears. The same famine and poverty is prevalent throughout Europe with the same oppor- tunities of warping the next generation. in 1918 the Russians staged a revolution whose full impact was not feA until 22 years later. In China today a state of : revolution exists which may change the world power balance in years to come. The United States crawled into a period of isolation as soon as the shooting was over in 1918. Today Congressmen are starting a war against the OPA and the draft, two measures along with the civilian control of the atomic bomb are a definite threat to the security of tomorrow. -Kay Peffers Real Brotherhood We can all demonstrate real brotherhood by continuing our contributions to the Famine Re- lief Drive.
