This war was to liberate the -oppressed, bat down the aggressors, and clean up the world in general. And after bur boys had marched triumphantly down the streets of Berlin, we would set up an organization to solve all future international problems. U. S. entrance into World War II meant to Americans that they would have an equal say in this re-organization for a better world. Primarily, we are fighting for our lives, an actual fight of existence against forces which sought to anihilate our way of life, But is that all we are fighting for? In the midst of our all-out war activity, have we forgotten about those ideals which meant hope to oppressed people all over the world? The Oregonian carried several features on the Sunday edi torial page which would lead us to believe that many people are beginning to lose hope in a world based on cooperation among nations, rather than dominated by a few big powers. An editorial in the London Times along this line was re printed in full. The editorial is important because The Times is considered as a mirror of British government thought. Here was an indication that Kngland has not only become resigned, hut is willing to accept a policy which would put Russia in the: dominating and controlling roll in eastern Europe, with Eng land and Krance carrying a similar role in their half. The editorial also made it plain that the old nineteenth century free trade policies "or any imitation of it," were gone. Jt goes on to give Russia free reign in "maintaining her se curity" in the eastern countries. Interesting" to note is Dorothy Thompson's column which runs on the same page. Here she criticizes our leaders for at first adhering to the policy of idealism in speaking of territory settlements after the war, and of now dismissing such problems as Poland as "none of our affair." If Russia wants to take over part of Poland, it is not our affair, even if Polish troops are fighting side by side with Americans in Italy. The Unit'd States will be the only major creditor power left in the world when this war is over. Our great financial and military power should give us a say in the new world we are planning for generations to come. We have a right to demand a world based, not on dominance, but good will and cooperation. Arc we being outflanked? Arc our ideals going down the drain, to he replaced hv a more "realistic" attitude that Europe is none of our business? Can we fight for “freedom” and then shut our eyes to a British return to Hongkong and Singapore; ■or actual or implied Russian control of Balkan countries “to guarantee that her security shall not be exposed to any threat from or across their territories,” to quote the editorial. It sounds like our allies have given up the idea of placing their confidence in a world organization. Russia's demand for security as described in the Times editorial borders on a repeti tion of French demands after World W ar 1, a factor in the League's loss of importance and power. It we are to keep faith with the ideals of the American people we must demand a strong international organization which would rule out the necessity of the old power svstem. Cer tainly the contribution we are making towards victory should give us the right to a large say in the peace and adjustments. America has long been the promised land, the "knight in shin ing armor. ' Are we now going to fail those people who look up to us as the champions of freedom? "W hether or not the Dumbarton Oaks proposition will work depends little, it at all, on the past performance of the ill-fated League. Instead, the results will rest upon the actions and co operation of the participating nations. In this the United States no longer can refuse to act; she dare not."—The Svracuse Dailv Orange emphasizes the need for American participation in the post-war world.—(AC11) - <§? F.sgi lhf:.
