'Western loc' rfHE "WESTERN BLOC" in the UNO Security Council headed by the representatives of Great Britain and this country succeeded easily this week in beating down another Russian re- quest for a report by all members on the number and location of their troops now stationed on the soil of nations who were not former enemies. Some Americans will be proud of Sir Alex- ander Cadogan, the British delegate who roundly denounced the "transparent political maneuver" as "disreputable." Some, too, will cheer the Kuomintang's delegate, Dr. C. L. Hsia who, like a true nationalist, declared that the United States and the Chinese govern- ment would decide "when or whether" Amer-' ican troops would be withdrawn from China. To others of us, the issue is not quite that crystal-clear. Perhaps, as Mr. Gromyko sug- gests, the questions which arise from the con- tinued garrisoning of American troops in China' DO affect somebody besides the United States and China, an idea which has not visibly pene- trated the thinking of our State Department. Nor are the Russians alone in their desire to know about our troops and our policies in China. We, the American public, also should be informed about how many troops are there, what they are doing, and WHY. Now that the war is allegedly over, our gov- ernment should have secrets neither from its own people nor from the rest of the world. If we have any realistic expectations of forming a family of nations or of making the UNO any more than a mutual abuse society, we can do no less than establish an open and clear cut policy regarding China, admitting into our confidence the other "powers." -Tom Walsh Atomic Energy One reason the political problems raised by the discovery of the means to release atomic en- ergy are so vast is that it contains inherently contradictory elements. Only by international action can we reap the potential benefits of atomic energy, which are so great for all man- kind; only by international action can we find any security against the bomb, which has de- structive possibilities that are so apalling. But if the bomb is thus the sharpest spur to inter- nationalism, it is also the sharpest reminder that American foreign policy must not forget that American security is endangered as never before. The bomb provides the greatest tempta- tion to aggression ever offered an ambitious people or an unscrupulous leader, and against it the traditional modes of national defense are clearly inadequate. New strategies are called for, alike in the military and political fields. . .,The American policy has on the whole been sound. The Anglo - American - Canadian Declaration gave statesmanlike evidence that we recognize the scope of the problem no less than its critical nature. But we have been slow to act, and that slowness has been costly. A great psychological opportunity to enlist public opir/ ion in favor of the necessary grant of sovereignty was lost at the very beginning; and every step that has been taken... has lost force by being delayed. ... The necessary faith in international control cannot be called into being by the touch of a wand. It must be built link by link, and further power as it proceeds. But there is not a momtent to lose... Once again-and more truly than ever before-the race is between education and disaster. Football Tickets To the Editor: I WAS very much interested to read in today's Daily the article which dealt with the pro- cess by which football tickets are dispensed and the abuse of same by un-named and undetected students. The reason I was so fascinated is that my wife and I have seats in Section 28, Row 8, Section 28, as you may possibly know, is in the northeast corner of the stadium. Perhaps, if we manage to get in the stadium with a peris- cope and a pair of strong field glasses, we may be able to tell at which end of the gridiron the players are struggling. Perhaps. I happen to be in the law school, having start- 'd this summer, and so far as I know, I am a fully accredited student. Such a status entitles me to football tickets within the stadium. Tech- nically you might say that Section 28 is within I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: For History By SAlVtUEL GRAFTON 'HERE will now be a great rub-a-dub of spec- ulation as to what Stalin meant by the sur- prisingly amiable and gentle statement in which he has pooh-poohed the dangers of war. It is an unexpected statezxent; little birds twitter in it, doves hop from paragraph to paragraph; it is like springtime at the Roxy, complete with ev- erything except a chorus of maidens in lace pants. What can Stalin mean by saying that there is no danger of war, that he believes un- conditionally in the possibility of friendly and lasting cooperation with the west? What an out- rageously calm thing to say at a time when everybody is so excited! Friends and supporters of Mr. Byrnes will, of course, say that the statement is the fruit of hard American policy; that a year of pres- sure has finally brought forth a twig with an olive on it. But to make use of Stalin's state- ment strategically, in our home debate, is not quite the same thing as to understand it. It is equally possible to argue that no friendly statements came from the Soviet Union until Wallace spoke up; that perhaps Stalin is delib- erately encouraging Wallace and his "peace party" by giving them something on which to build. If I may say so without vainglory, I men- tioned in this space on September 19 that one overlooked possibility in the Wallace incident was that it might call forth a reorientation of Soviet policy; perhaps that was a lucky hit. Yet the statement, in a sense, leaves Wallace high and dry; if the danger of war "does not exist," there was hardly any call for Wallace to get hot and lose his job. Where are we? Oh, yes; though this curious, double-jointed state- ment does take some of the ground from under Wallace, it also hits hard at the febrile crew of shouters for a preventive war. It hurts them even more than it hurts Wallace; for, in their press' columns and on the air, they have been describ--! ing, in detail, the imminent approach of a de- mon; and here comes somebody carrying a dish' of ice cream. At this point we begin to sense some of the effects of the Stalin interview; it has an extra-.. ordinary capacity for throwing a number of persons off balance; and the feeling arises that this statement, so meek and mild on the sur- face, is, in essence, a kind of challenge. We must remember that it is Communist dog- ma that Communism never starts a war; Com- munism goes its peacefur way, humming a wordless tune, until it is hit on the head by capitalism, then there is a war. If war starts, the great item of Communist propaganda (and it will resound around the world) will be that capitalism started it. The Stalin statement sets up a framework in which to adavance that claim; it draws a perspective of permanent peace, as a make-ready device for assessing war guilt later. In February, Stalin said that war was "inevitable" in a capitalist world. In- evitable in February and a non-existent danger in September? Can it be that Stalin not only denies that he wants war, but even denies that war is possible, so as to set up the question of who is to blame, if it does come, in the clearest way imaginable? But if it is a challenge, what do we do with it? Here, it seems to me, we need enormous wisdom, something much better than our current gay over-confidence. For merely to continue with the tough policy is not to ac- cept the challenge, but to fall into the trap, in a struggle that is being fought, not for ter- ritory, but for influence over the minds of peace-loving men. We need to exert pressure for what we con- sider right, but with less of that lust for the kill which has lately been cropping up; we need to look more as if we want a solution, and rather less as if we want a showdown; and we need to be suspicious of some of these bully boys of in- ternationalism, who have so joyously entered the movement only when it bogged down. We must show in tone as well as tactic that what we want is peace, or we shall flunk on thisI extremely delicate business of handling the subtle Stalin challenge. For it was a statement issued, not for its immediate effect, but to be remembered later; and it can be said about some of our own present statements that they will make poor remembering in time to come. (Copyright, 1946, N.Y. Post Syndicate) the stadium, but for all practical purposes I might as well be on the outside selling popcorn. I spent my undergraduate days at a large east- ern university where the bowl held 70,000. There the students were placed between the 20 and 50 yard lines-and it was possible to buy a seat for a date and sit with her, and still be between the 30 yard lines. The athletic officials there sold the tickets in the corners to the poor sacks who came out late Saturday afternoon-they certainly wouldn't foist them off on the visit- ing student body, and they even felt that the supporters of the team were entitled to decent seats. I don't blame anybody for trying to get a good seat in the stadium; but I do think that it's shocking that any student should have to resort to subterfuge. There are 18,125 odd stu- dents, plus, say, 7,000 other persons who are all entitled to tickets. Throw in another 5,000 for graft, and the total is about 30,000. In a stadium built to hold 85,000 people, there should be at least 50,000 seats between'the 10 yard lines. There are no bonds to pay off that I know about, yet the choice seats still go to outsiders waving the proper amount of cash. I think it's a stinking mess when the students end up with the lousiest seats in the stadium. SAlfred B. Fitt Obscuring Uproar To the Editor: THE UPROAR about the football tickets is ob- scuring the real issue in the situation. Sel- dom has such idealism been apparent in mis- administration. And now, altho a student up- roar is sufficient excuse for the college author- ities to hand the situation to the student govern- ment, let's make no mistake about the location of the real trouble. I don't believe the student government will have the majority support in any move it makes to punish offenders. Will anyone be surprised if the tickets just don't get turned in? Dustin P. Ordway MAN TO MAN- 'Hit and Run' By HAROLD L. ICKES ONCE AGAIN the "hit and run" pattern of the Truman administration has been im- pressed upon the country. But, unfortunately, the Wallace episode could not have occurred at a worse time. We are deep in negotiations with the other powers at Paris and the curtain is about to go up on the last act of a national elec- tion which bids fair to have an unhappy ending for practically everyone concerned. One may be permitted to be less sorry for Henry A. Wallace than amazed at his apparent inability to appreciate the trte Truman form and be prepared to avoid the consequences of it. In perspective it seems perfectly natural that the President should have read the draft of Wallace's Madison Square Garden speech and smilingly approved it without suggesting the crossing of a single "T." It was just as natural that at his press conference, on the morning of the speech, President Truman should publicly again endorse the speech, and cheerfully assure the newspaper correspondents that the Wallace pol- icy of "spheres of influence" was not at variance with the "one world" theory of international re- lations to which most of us thought that the country had been committed, Even a last-min- ute ringing of the alarm bell by Acting Secretary of State Clayton, although in time to deflect the lighted match from the tinder that would pres- ently break into flames, did not disturb the self- assurance of President Truman or penetrate the dense ignorance of his "intimate" advisers. Before stepping onto the platform at Madi- son Square Garden, Henry A. Wallace, if he had had any of his Scotch caution left, would have delivered his resignation as Secretary of Commerce. Apparently he had forgotten the Pauley incident where the Truman form was first clearly displayed to the plaudits of the "Missouri Gang." In the Pauley case, President Truman deliberately closed his mind to the possibility of a political explosion. When the Secretary of the Interior showed the President the telegram from Senator Walsh summoning him to appear as a witness at the hearing an Mr. Pauley, the President's only comment was, "Or course you must tell the truth, but be as easy as you can on Ed Pauley." Which was ihe equivalent of saying: "I know that this is a hot potato, but try not to drop it." Here we have two outstanding instances of the President's disposition to run out on members of his own team. Probably his own neck is too precious not to be saved even at the cost of loyal and honorable behavior, but his disposition, which constitutes a glaring weakness of the President, may be one answer to his inability to get the "good men" whom he complains he can- not get for his administration. Of course Secretary Wallace should not have delivered the speech, even with the cobwebby support of the President. He should have re- signed before giving it. However, whatever Henry A. Wallace might or might not have done does not tend to serve the reputation of Presi- dent Truman. The people like forthrightness and courage and loyalty. They do not enjoy the sight of one man being made to suffer for the, mis- step of another. (Copyright, 1946, N.Y. Post Syndicate) 1 . - ,,, r ' e e 7d "Yer uckyit'sclot.
