fI( COlta WAR, it seems, has been en-
tering a new phase lately with the par-
ticipants harking and growling over defense
pacts.
Latest development in this new game is
Russia's offer of a non-war pact with
Norway, who in turn has sent her for-
eign mias(er, altvard Laun', to the
United States to se* if he can be admitted
to th _ proposed North Atlantic Defense
Pact-
1 she uiakvs the grade, Norway will be a
member of the Wet:ern Block, of which the
North Atlantic Defense Pact would be a kind
of sub-division. Russia's proposed pact with
Norway, contrariwise, is something of a
warning to her to steer clear of the West-
urners,
- l is no small tragedy that the nations of
the world <aniot live together peaceably,
but bec;e they apparently cannot, the
network of pacts is necessary, almost in-
evitable.
According to the charter of the UN,
all international squabbling should go on
within the walls of the security council
chamber. But the veto power, whereby one
nation can wreck any mutual defense
measures the others decide to take, makes
this body ineffective in stopping aggres-
sion.
While these factors were weighed when
the UN charter was framed in 1945, it wa!
hoped and assumed that the great powers
of the world coulpI get along.
But defense pacts among the several na-
tions remain the only insurance against

authorizes regional defet se agreements-to
be, however, definitely subordinated to the
power of the securit y council.
Thus both the Eastern World and the
Western world have made or planned net-
works of Pacts which will lasso the world.

S trka t .ds and Luxmlbourg wh icl will o-
ably grow into a North Atlantic efense
Pact, including the United iates, Canada,
and several others, possibly Norway.
President Truman okayed this plan in his
inaugural address.
Another important pact is the American
Hemisphere Pact, drafted in 1947 at Rio
de Janeiro, the basis of which was the
1945 Act of Chapultepec. The Arab League,
embracing many near Eastern nations is an-
other. The South Pacific nations (Australia
and New Zealand, possibly the Philippines)
are said to want to make one with the West-
ern powers for their area.
The Russians, of course, have made count-
less defense pacts with their satellites.
The ultimate in pactism, if there be such
a word, is the talked-of world-wide pact of
mutual defense which could be open to any-
body wanting to join, and which would cut
down the Soviet complaints.
As far as the Western world is concerned,
Russia is not the only potential aggressor.
Prance, for instance; fears a revitalized Ger-
many; Australia, a healthy Japan.
Defense pacts, though, have their faults.
As the New York Times has pointed out,
they are helpless against psychological
warfare and are impotent if the nations
signing them do not keep their word.
Instinctively, defense pacts seem to be a
warlike move, but if pacts can keep the cold
war cold, then out with all-powerful pen.

STRANGELY ENOUGH there are few real
mourners lamenting the death of the
University's Workers' Education Service.
It is strange because there was quite a
healthy out(ry when the service was first
8t1 pped. las sutnmmer. Of course a lot has
happenled ainlue th u-to explain the present
lack of t(,ars.
The Unions really howled last summer
because they had been enjoying one of the
best workers' services in the country. At-
tendance was high, and instructors, who had
worked with labor men as well as with
theoretical problems, were able to interest
their students in what are vital problems
for every working man.
Even after charges of "marxism" by a
general motors official had pushed the
university into closing the program, un-
ion officials came back to help rebuild
the service with the University. .... .. . .
But just when general agreement to pro-
ceed had been reached, the University came
out with a surprise list of courses and in-
structors which they had planned without
consulting the labor men.
Already irate over the University's meth-
ods, the union men took one look at the
pedantic respectability of the new plan and
told the University to keep it.
The result was rather unique. The Uni-
versity was giving courses which no one
attended. Thus the University's "sudden"
decision to drop the workers courses.
No one, therefore, need be very surprised
that the workers themselves aren't marching
in a funeral procession for that kind of
program.
BUT THERE REALLY ought to be some
people in the - University who mourn
this death. Unfortunately,'the real mourn-
ers lost out long ago, when the University
first stopped the program, and they, too,
now have nothing much left to weep over.
Those who express sadness now, saying
the University really did its part with that
last excuse for a workers' program, are
merely sympathizing with a nice general
principle of spreading education to labor.
They cannot be real mourners for la-
bor's cause, because they never under-
stood it; they never tried to offer more
than a sickening compromise with un-
founded charges.
And finally, it should be obvious that
there will be nothing but cheering within
the neat offices of the motor companies.
BECAUSE THE UNIONS are gradually
building an education program of their
own to replace the University service, they
will not be the real losers.
It is the University which must really
suffer in the long run: We have seen how
readily the University bowed to the dictates
or persuasions of business interests and we
have witnessed its failure to act in good
faith with the union;.
But most seriously of all, we have seen
the University fail as an educational in-

ONE MIGHT HAVE supposed that the
collapse of China would have startled
America into a fresh examination of what
Communism is, how and why it wins, etc.
Certainly an event of this magnitude re-
quires that we approach the subject newly,
throwing away our preconceptions and our
patter, our vain underwriting of each other's
hunches, our grim adherence to remedies
that don't remedy. In a country like our
own, which prides itself on research, an ex-
amination of the whole subject, from the
beginning, as if nobody had ever looked at
it before, is long overdue.
But if there has been any such reaction
to the fall of China, I have seen no signs
of it. Instead, with incredible triteness,
we drag out the same old "answers to
Comniunismn," mostly along the line of
represiom, which China has used for
mmure than twenty years., and with such
spetacta~r lhek of success. The only reply

BELGRADE-Abandonment of the Krem-
lin's imperialist program is not a fea-
ture of the Soviet "peace offensive," judging
by the situation here in Belgrade. In fact
while Generalissimo Stalin is all sweet rea-
sonableness toward President Truman, he
and his lieutenants are grimly intensifying
their efforts to reconquer this rebellious and
heretical former province of the Russian
empire.
The new economic union of the Soviet
sphere just formed at Moscow will un-
questionably be used to increase pressure
on Yugoslavia, and if a political and stra-
tegic union of Russia and her satellites
results from Soviet Deputy Foreign Min-
ister Andrei Y. Vishinsky's "health cure"
at Karlovy Vary it will also be used in
the same fashion. In fact, the Karlovy
Vary meeting has almost certainly super-
seded a great rally of Cominform powers
--a rally with no purpose except to plan
MNarshal Tito's destruction-which was
originally scheduled in Bucharest in Jan-
uary.
The first question that therefore arises
is whether Tito and his band of heretics
can withstand the pressure that is being and
will be used against them on the political
plans.
For the present Tito and Kidric are in
a grave economic dilemma which is made
all the worse both by the proclamation of
popular Comnmunism" here and by Mos-
cow's political pressure. "Popular con-
munism" in itself implies a certain limit
on the state's ruthlessness toward its peo-
ple.
A second 'question thus presents itself. Can
Tito be forced to recant his heresy and
make peace again with Stalin? The answer
is that he cannot possibly do so, since the
would certainly be burned at the nearest
stake the moment he placed himself in the
power of Stalin's M.V.D. Tito's only remote

No matter how we try, we will never be as
good at it as a Russian czar or a Chinese
warlord. We don't have the talent, and, be-
ing Americans, we can never have an un-
complicated approach to it. About such
points it is good to be clear. For to realize
that there are certain dubious talents which
we do not have, may make us freshly re-
member better ones that we do have.
The answer to Communism is not to
1 hate the Communists but to love the
people. And one merit of this non-fero-
cious answer is that, for all its seeming
mildness, it raises theoretical questions for
Communism, which other approaches do
not always do. The man who hates the
Communists, and who also hates the
ideas of popular reform, is duck-soup for
Communism. He is the fellow the Com-
munists know; he is the character they
have expected to meet, in an historical
rendezvous; he is out oi their books; they
make their noltical livinas ot of him.
