PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1945 Fifty-Fifth Year WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Byrnes Faces Pro-wFranco Fiasco DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-Wise-owl Sec. State Jimmy Byrnes has decided not to consider State De- partment reorganization of personnel until he returns from the Big Three conference. Most other policy matters, unless of major importance, will also wait. One policy matter which will come up for review soon--it may even be brought up by Stalin at Berlin-is our continued close re- lation with Dictator Franco of Spain. Byrne's predecessors in the State Depart- ment, led by Jimmy Dunn, have followed a policy of sending oil, sugar and other strate- gic materials to Franco. If we withheld these or withdrew our ambassador, Franco would fall overnight. The extreme lengths to which Byrnes' prede- cessors in the State Department have gone. to protect Franco is known to very few. For in- stance, it has been kept a carefully hushed-up secret, that, in advance of the San Francisco conference, State Department officials brought pressure to bear on several Latin American governments to keep them from breaking with Franco. stances under which Patrick J. Hurley, U.S. ambassador to China, received $75,000 from the Sinclair Oil Company during 1945, and $108,000 from Sinclair in 1942, while in U.S. 'Army uniform. Senator Langer also asked how many times Ambassador Hurley has visited the oil-rich countries of the Near East on his way to China, an area in which U.S. oil companies have a big stake.

Poland Recognized DEMOCRACY, LONG NEGLECTED in central Europe, may have a chance to go into action now that the United States, Great Britain, and China have sanctioned a Polish provisional gov- ernment of national unity. After much bickering and stalling, the Allies have agreed upon a government in accordance with the Yafta agreement; the Warsaw govern- ment has been expanded to include other Polish democrats, with Stanislaus Mikolajczyk, former London-Polish leader, as vice-premier. Follow- ing the Crimean plan, the United States recog- nition provides that the new government' must hold free elections later. The news of such agreement on a provisional coalition is obviously significant as the end of a cause of Big Three friction and as the be- ginning of the working of past Allied plans for sponsoring representative governments. Minor problems remain, matters of the ordin- ary workings of a new government. However, these problems, plus the existence of the London government may accumulate and aggravate the age-old conflict of groups in Poland. -Pat Cameron Fraternity CLUBS FRATERNITIES, nations-these are the beloved barriers in the way of a workable world; these will have to surrender some of their rights and some of their ribs. A "fraternity" is the antithesis of fraternity. The first (that is, the order or organization) is predicated on the idea of exclusion; the second, (that is, the ab- stract thing) is based on a feeling of total equality. Anyone who remembers back to his fraternity days at college recalls the enthusiasts in his group, the rabid members, both old and young, who were obsessed with the mystical charm of membership in the particular order. They were usually men who were incapable of genuine brotherhood or at least unaware of its implica- tions. Fraternity begins when the exclusion formula is found to be distasteful. The effect of any organization of a social and brotherly nature is to strengthen rather than to diminish the lines which divide people into classes; the effect of state and nations is the same and eventually these lines will have to be softened; these powers will have to be generalized. It is written on the wall that this is so. I'm not inventing it, I'm just copy- ing it off the wall. -E. B. White, as quoted in the New York Times Book Review, June 10, by Clifton Fadiman. Hospital Aides ALTHOUGH summer enrollment represents a drop of almost 50 per cent among women students as compared with last fall's registra- tion, the need for hospital volunteers has not decreased. From 50 to 150 women are needed to help in Sovereign Nations . * I ATIN AMERICAN countries are sovereign na- tions and not supposed to require advice on how to conduct their relations with European neutrals. However1 on April 4, when a resolution was about to be presented in the Cuban Con- gress, the American embassy in Havana dis- creetly but vigorously protested. So, virtually taking orders from the U.S.A., Cuban foreign minister Cuervo Rubio met in secret session with the Committee on Foreign Affairs and urged that no action be taken toward a break with Spain. Temporarily, the resolution was held up; to be passed overwhelmingly about a month later. Again, on April 26, the Venezuelan Chamber of Deputies was discreetly informed that it must withdraw its resolution calling for a break with Franco. A much more diplomatic- ally worded resolution was substituted. Also, the Costa Rican Congress voted 36 to 3 to break relations with Spain. But suddenly U.S. diplomats called upon the Costa Rican president and foreign minister, and assurances were given that no action would be taken to break with Franco. In the end, such a surge of anti-Franco re- sentment boiled up at San Francisco that State Department officials were powerless to stem the tide.. However, more show-downs regarding our pro-Franco policy are certain to come up un - less the new State Department under Jimmy Byrnes beats Latin Americans to it by revis- ing our pro-Franco policy. Middle Roaders By SAMUEL GRAFTON WHAT HAS HAPPENED to American conserv- ative opinion since the accession of Presi- dent Truman? It seems to be having its troubles. The Ameri- can conservative finds, himself, in spite of him- self, rather fond of the new President. He is a Missouri farmer, who spent his boyhood follow- ing a pair of mules; he is not an Easterner, who might conceivably have passed his formative years curled up with a copy of the New Repub- lic, or the Nation. It is obvious to right and left alike that no dim ideological visions haunt the new Presi- dent. Even his habit of making important ap- pointments on a more or less straight party basis, by and with the advice of Mr. Robert E. Hannegan, rather endears the new Presi- dent to the opposition. That is being a Presi- dent, as politicians understand the job; it is reassuringly familiar; and the Republicans would rather see a straight party man in of- fice, who froze them out, than a liberal who would give some of them jobs, for ideological reasons. They infinitely prefer losing to a politician, rather than to a prophet. AT THE SAME TIME, the American conserva- tive has a certair sinking feeling; he real- izes that Mr. Truman does not intend to cause the repeal of any of the New Deal reform laws. The American conservatives may be glad that Mr. Roosevelt is no longer in office; but the feel- ing is growing on him that though he has won a battle, he has lost a war. So long as Mr. Roose- velt was president, the fight over the labor re- lations act, social security, the regulatory agen- cies, etc., was a fight in the present tense. With Mr. Truman's accesssion, these disputes become a wrangle over ancient history. A blow at Mr. Roosevelt was a blow at re- form; a blow at Mr. Truman is a blow at Mr. Truman. It is no longer possible to make sub- tle point against trade unionism by saying something about the President's wife. American conservatism had a dream about the administration which would succeed Mr. Roosevelt's; it was going to be (so fantasy had it) an administration whose leading figures would devote happy months to tearing up stat- utes and throwing bits of paper ecstatically over their shoulders. But a neutral kind of adminis- tration has succeeded Mr. Roosevelt's instead, and the American conservative does not know quite how to deal with well-intentioned neu- trality. THE OLDER AMERICAN conservatism has been thrown a bit off balance by these events. It does not quite know what to do next, and so it stages inconclusive demonstrations. It seizes a Senate committee, and hands down a tough report against cutting tariffs. But the report is disregarded on the 'floor. It makes a field day of the earlier stages of drafting im- portant legislation; it howls and roars and writes in the most terrible proscriptions against O.W.., and the most dreadful plans for ending price control, knowing full well as it does that all this matter will be thrown out in conference, and on the final vote, and that all that is being accomplished is to articulate a hopeless passion. Watching all this, we begin to see in a new way what the Truman administration is. It is the new American conservatism. It is a con- servatism which has been able to accept, and swallow, and digest the reforms of the last few years, and then go on; it is kindly, well- meaning, devoted to American ways, but it lacks that quotient of irreconcilability which marks and dates the older conservatism. It is a true synethesis of many elements, a fact which gives it an inescapably modern char- acter, and makes the older conservatism seem narrow, attenuated, and primitive. We had hoped that the older conservatism, would "learn a lesson," accept modern reform, and push ahead. It never did, but men who have learned the lesson have pushed it aside and come to power.

This is the story, so the legend goes, of a tempestuous love - and very stormy it is. Charles Boyer is handsome as ever and twice as debonair and Michele Morgan quite the "femme fatale.. Boyer, in love with the lovely Michele, is most inconveniently married. Boyer is harried,Miss Morgan is tortured and the wife is long-suffering. The two principles did as much with their roles as a rather hack- neyed story would permit, but this stereotyped version of the ever- present triangle gave them very little with which to work. The film contained the cliche to end all cliches - "I suppose you despise mne,"says Miss Morgan the morn- ing after. Nonetheless, it's well worth see- ing, if only for the seriousness with which the French treat their marital tragedies. -Betty Roth * * * At the Sate : "The Royal Scandal," supposedly a Ernst Lubitsch comedy is a parody of Russian life during the era of Catharine the Great. a In the role of Catherine is Tall- lah Bahkhead whose voice is the product of a iot ct cigarette smoke. Opposite, Tallulah in the male lead was William Eythe who looks pretty in a uniform, but should have been cast in something else - anything else. At the Michigan: "Brewster's Millions" is a light comedy which was funnier than "The Royal Scandal,"and was nothhammed up so often. Dennis O'Keefe takes the role of a discharged G.. who suddenly ob- tains a fortune which he must spend in order to meet the stipulations of his uncle's will. The plot, by no means new, gets a little more complicated as the pic- ture rolls on, so a detailed summary is not necessary. There were numerous off-color re- marks in the show which prompted the lady behind me to comment about the absence of the Will Hays influence. Also Helen Walker, the feminine lead wears a dress in the opening scenes which makes her quite a neat package - if you like that sort of thing. -Bob Goldman Sugared Spain - * S Meanwhile, at as secret meeting just before Byrnes took the oath, State Department officials proposed sending 60,000 tons of sugar to Spain. This is a reduction from theprevious year's ship- ment to Spain, which totaled 100,000 tons. One official sitting in on the hush-hush meeting remarked: "Wait till the newspapers get hold of this one." State Department officials claim that if we do not sell sugar to Franco he will come into the Cuban market and buy it anyway in com- petition with us. However, the Cuban govern- ment is anything but pro-Franco, and not likely to do as much business with him as the State Department seems to think. Hurley's Oil Fees . .

Pedestrians, with the exception of a few hardy souls who possess a superior amount of agility, are often in need of an adequate approach signal, now that the fleet of bicycles is loose on campus walks. Lacking such a warning, they might settle for a little less rambunctious riding. Con- sideration on the part of those lucky enough to have bikes would avoid all sorts of nasty collisions as well as protect the grass upon which walkers usually retreat. -Anita Franz BARNABY Let's stop in at the Witch's house.
