It was agreed by all members that without the police force the UN would have little value. But two years after its organization the UN, what-J ever its other accomplishments, still does not have a police force because the mem- ber nations, though agreeing on its import- ance, cannot agree on what form it should take. This lack of agreement has resulted in a problem of great importance. At the present time the UN is involved in an. attempt to settle the Greek civil war and the Indonesian conflict between Dutch and Republicans. Although there has been no decision as to what to do about Greece the Council has taken the first step in Indonesia by asking both parties' to cease fire. But this raises the question: What can the UN do to enforce its decision in Indonesia or any action it may decide on with regard to Greece if either or both parties in the conflicts refuse to obey UN orders? Without a police force it is pow- erless to do more than request; it cannot demand. General Joseph T. McNarney, speeaking on the radio program "Our Foreign Policy," stated that the Russian disagreement with the other big powers is the reason for fail- ure to create an effective police force. He listed three points of basic disagreement: First, and most important, is the Ameri- can insistence that each country furnish armed forces according to its ability and Russian insistence that no one power should make available more forces than any other. The reason for Russian insistance on this point is obviously her fear that a police force based on the ability of each nation to' contribute would be dominated by the western powers. But, as General McNarey explained, the result of following the Rus- sian plan would be a police force kept to the strength of the weakest member and powerless to interfere effectively in any maj- or conflict. The other two issues under contention are the right of the police force to use bases and pass across the territory of UN members, and the location of the forces when they are not being used by the Security Council. The problem, however, goes deeper than any of the disagreements on this particular question. It is rooted in the fear, distrust and suspicion between the eastern and west- ern blocs which have been the cause of the other conflicts within the UN. It is under- standable that on this, perhaps the most important question of all, there will be the most difficulty in reaching an understand- ing. But without thi understanding and its result-an effective police force-the UN will be reduced to the position of the League, a high-sounding but ineffective debating so- ciety. -Allegra Pasqualetti THE UNITED NATIONS has received an astonishing telegram from Ethiopia, say- ing that the country can get along without any relief money. It doesn't even need funds to keep its people from taking up Com- munism.--The New Yorker By JOSEPH AND STEWART ALSOP THROUGH THE TURMOIL of the day to day news, two vast facts show up like huge and menacing submerged rocks, which are now washed over, now left naked, in stormy water. First, the Soviet Union is plainly giving serious thought to employing its obedient satellite states in new aggres- sive moves of the most critical character. Second, the slowness of American succor for a desperate Britain and Europe has permit- ted critical weakening of the Western world's power to resist these aggressions if they are finally ordered by the Kremlin. It is, of course, in the Greek situation that the first fact is most apparent. The American State Department and British Foreign Office have been in consultation for some time on the meaning of the various moves on the puppet side of the Greek fron- tier. And it can now be stated on excellent authority that a decidedly threatening sig- nificance is tentatively ascribed to these TOP SECRET: Cautious Army By VICTOR RIESEL O CAUTIOUS now is the Army in its top secret work, that it has marked off areas in certain plants as out of bounds for left wing labor leaders whom the military men just don't trust. In one sprawling Eastern radio apparatus factory, the Army and Navy have roped off sections know as "17-5". This is prohibited territory, for officials of the leftist union in that plant. At the same time, union members known to be leftists are being transferred from 17-5 areas after investigation by Army and Military intelligence. Our security officers are determined that there will be no leaks from these plants via lefty union grapevines which have been known to piece details to- gether and send them abroad ... * * * * For a while last Thursday, Suite 1508- 10 in New York's Hotel Roosevelt was the CIO secret national headquarters. Phil Murray, in town from the Sidney .Hill- man memorial services, quietly called his top lieutenants together for a broad dis- cussion of important CIO strategy. So quiety did some of these men slip into the city that even their own local head- quarters didn't know they were around. Most important part of the off-the-rec- ord discussions centered on how to handle the inner CIO right-wing-left wing battle at the October national convention .. . Talking about conventions-there's one scheduled which will have among its dele- gates radio's Superman, Mr. District Attor- ney, and Fred Allen's Mrs. Nussbaum. They are, of course, respectively, radio actors Clayton Collier, Jay Jostyn and Minerva Pi- ous, who will be among the 300 delegates elected recently to the American Federation of Radio Artists convention scheduled for New York Aug. 14. Those delegates, representing radio play- ers, singers and announcers in 25 cities, are of course, a tremendous talent gold mine for the AFL new huckstering policy. Much time will be spent working on techniques to help the AFL fight for repeal of the Taft-Hart- ley law. Other business: setting wage scales for television and looking for ways to limit the 24-hour day disc jockeys who are eating up time during which the players could be employed. CIO's Political Action committee is back and is trying to put the heat on Sen. Taft right in his home town of Cincinnati where a year-round voting registration system is in effect. PAC headquarters boasts it is bring- ing out 100 new Democratic voters a day by registering them so that they'll be eligible to ballot in November 1948-and cast a big anti-Taft or anti-Republican vote right in the Senator's own bailiwick . . . Railway union leader A. F. Whitney, one of the few important labor chiefs in Henry Wallace's Progressive Citizens of America, will quit that outfit .. . Boston's Robert Murphy, who failed to sign the big leagues up with his Ameri- can Baseball Guild, now wants the Dept. of Justice to take action against profess- ional baseball as a monopoly. Murphy still hopes to organize a baseball players un- ion, he tells us, and has plans for an American Hockey Guild, an American Basketball Guild and an American Foot- ball Guild, but is doing very little about unionizing athletes this year although he has set them all up as unincorporated as- sociations . ..< Dixie Doodle-There's an AFL crowd down in Asheville, N.C. which won' picket jails or courthouses again before it counts noses in its own unions. It all began when the AFL chiefs there decided to embarass Southern CIO leader Van Bittner by throw- ing a picket line around a courthouse in which he and his lieutenants scheduled an important strategy session. As an excuse for the picketing, the AFL charged that prison labor had been used to repaint the courthouse. goings and comings in Bulgaria and Yugo- slavia. The evdience for this tentative con- clusion, so far as it has been disclosed, consists of items of information like the pieces of a puzzle. For example, it is now known that Yugoslavia has recruited and trained a Macedonian brigade from dissident Greek Macedonians, and has incorporated this unit in the Yugoslav army. The brigade is now reported sta- tioned at Bitol, in position for a move to "liberate the fatherland" if need be. At Sofia, in Bulgaria, "free" Macedonians have also been holding rallies for an in- dependent Macedonia. And on several levels, culminating in the recent talks between Marshal Tito and Georgei Dimi- trov, representatives of the Yugoslav and Bulgarian governments have been in busy conference. These and other bits of information have been fitted into the final conclusion, which is very simple that an offensive to estab- lish a "free Macedonia" is now contemplat- ed.. It is thought that Tito and Dimitrov agreed upon plans for this effort. It is thought further that the frontiers and organization of the new "free Macedon- ia" have already been decided upon. If the contemplated moves are undertaken and succeed, the "free Macedonian" capital will certainly be at Salonika, and it is consid- ered probable that Tito and Dimitrov mea'j to supplement the territory of the new state with small portions of Yugoslav and Bul- garian territory. It is further assumed that the plans include the eventual establish- ment of a greater south Slav federation, comprising all the Kremlin's Balkan pup- pets, in which the new Macedonian "state" would play a role similar to Albania's. As stated above, these conclusions are of course only tentative, and certain American analysts tend to dissent. The probable truth is that the plans described above (the existence of which will of course be denied with screeches of in- dignation) have actualy been prepared, but for use on an if, as, and when basis. In short, these plans will be put in mo- tion if the Kremlin calculates that the West will not react decisively. The Soviet veto of the proposed Balkan border com- mission plainly supports this interpreta- tion. Under the circumstances, the much bet- ter publicized developments in Britain take an additionally alarming aspect. For some time, officials of the British government have been hinting both to our permanent representatives in London and to travelling high American officials, that something very serious might occur in the near future. The truth is that in their appalling eco- nomic situation, the British government had been consistently acting on the most hope- ful assumptions. Now that events have in- stead substantiated all the gloomiest fore- casts, the British are confronted with the catastrophic prospect of exhaustion of their resources for buying food and raw materials abroad before the Marshall plan can come into operation. The result has been the series of emergency Cabinet and Labor party meet- ings, at which a general contraction of British commitments has necessarily been agreed upon. The worst of it evidently is that plans for this contraction include withdrawal of the expensive garrison in Greece, as'well as reduction of the Brit- ish troops in Italy. The American gov- ernment has long been notified that these moves would have to be made even- tually, but in the face of the possibility of another push by the Kremlin, the timing could hardly be worse. None the less, there are two hopeful as- pects of the situation. First, the British are finally facing the harsh realities of their position, which in the long run may be healthy if the United States does its part. Second, in the event of an open threat of another Kremlin push, both governments are understood to have agreed already, ir principle, to display the utmost firmness. The plight of Britain must obviously tempt the Kremlin, as does the chaos in Greece. Yet if the leaders of the Soviet Union are aware that true firmness will eventually be encountered, they can be counted on to be cautious in the end. Lenin once remarked that certain situations had to be "probed with bayonets," but the implication of this was that if the bayonets struck anything unyielding, it was time to call a halt.

This kind of cour- age is worthy of our greatest re- spect. Perhaps the first step in any sort of reform is an aware- ness of its existence. However, Miss Rateaver has enlisted herself in a very lonely endeavor in the face of the general lethargy of the American people. Her efforts em- phasize the fact that there is more oppression in the world than we commonly know about. Through efforts of this kind of beginnings can be made that may eventually result in freedom for more people. If only such efforts were multi- plied by millions! -N. M.
