The Charter Ratified i The ratification of the charter of the United Nations by the senate Saturday with only two dissenting votes must have been highly gratify ing to all those who labored on that document and for the cause it U designed to serve. Fre quent references have been made to the con trast between! the present attitude of the senate and that in 1919 toward the old league of na tions. Such' comparisons are of little value. There is a changed mood in the world and a changed mood in the United States. That ac counts for the; quick approval of the charter and lends hope of, its success. j The second outbreak of a global war in which the United States became involved proved to Americans that staying out of the league did not keep us Out of war, and proved to all na tions that a loyal adherance to a world organi zation was necessary if war is to be prevented in the future!. In the face of this overwhelming weight of opinion most of the senators who have been -skeptical of the peace settlement and dubious of a world organization felt they could not vote against ratification. Wheeler, LaFollette, Millikin of Colorado. Butler of Nebraska, Bush field of South Dakota voted "aye" on the final roll call. Only the unpredictable and inexplic able Langer pt North Dakota and Shipstead of Minnesota cast negative votes although Hiram Johnson of jCalifornia, the old irreconcilable, was paired ; in opposition. Capper of Kansas, the only other present member who voted against the j first league of nations, voted for the charter, j , Even the prospect of opposition to later en abling legislation seems slight in view of the statements Monday of Wheeler and LaFollette and RevjrcOmb of West Virginia that if the size of military contingents assigned to call of the United Nations is small and the presi dent's primary authority limited to use of force for police purposes they saw no reason for congressional controversy. That seems a reason able provision, leaving to congress the final authority to! declare war and to provide funds for support of armies, which it has under the : constitution. Perhaps because the result was forecast, per haps because of the surfeit of big news this year there has been little show of enthusiasm over the ratification. This does not indicate public indifjference. All "the tests show public concern andj determination It was public opin ion which, pressed for the working out of plans for world oj-der which brought about the meet ing of Dumbarton Oaks and the later confer ence at Sari Francisco. Now ttie favorable re action of the people to the charter is reflected . in the senate's vote. 1 j The United States thus formally embarks on i a new course in its foreign policy. That same public opinion must assert itself to hold that course and in union with: enlightened opinion i irt other lands hold the world to the high prin- ciples proclaimed at San Francisco. - fleets the mixture of theoretical jntellectualism and the practical hardjwork which have shaped his career. ' ' v- j j . . i Balding Clement Attlee, who has represented the eastern dockside district of Limehouse for 23 years, was ediiiatid at jHaiteyburg, j which ranks with Eton and Harrow as one of Eng land's famous public schools, then went to Ox ford where he was at admirer bf some of the old -line tories. In ef ect, he is j a product of the conventional upper middle class, "old school tie" system, and whil! personally a pacifist h went into World War I despite the fact he was over-age, and served until wounds forced him to quit the combat front.

SIMPSON Associated Pr Wajr Analyst Britain's! New leader A circumstance parallel to that which pre vailed in the United States when President Roosevelt died seems to be unfolding as a result of Britain' recent election. The late president was regarded as a man whose shoes no one could fill and yet in a few short months President Truman has so con ducted himself as to achieve a unity of support almost unique in recent years. And now comes . England. True, the British tossed out their lead er rather than losing him to death. But until the last 7? hours when the personal sketches of Attlee became common knowledge, the rest of the world stood just a bit aghast. Now, how ever, we find Attlee far from an unworthy successor -to the nation's war-time chief. A writer for the conservative Associated ' Press characterizes him as quiet, unassuming, gentle, scholarly, and says his personality re- Editorial Comment TOW A ID A GOLDEN MEAN Although: not the first in the swing back toward general or "liberal education, Harvard's prestige makes the 'report of its committee on the objec-. Hives of a general education in a free society of . great significance to American education. Perhaps the central problem of education in a country such as the United States lies in finding, once the elementary "skills" are taught, the golden mean between the demands of vocational and pro fessional training in a specialized economy and the equal necessity of imparting that broad, per spective and power of critical and creative thinking which citizenship in a Tree Society require. Following the revolt of a generation ago against the traditional classical curriculum, the pendulum swung far in the direction of "practical speciali zation. The movement gained impetus from World War one and will receive another push from the current conflict. For war 'puts a premium on , im mediacy and direct application of knowledge. Happily for the restoration of balance, a move ment toward 'liberal" education-was under way before the peremptory demands of war took over. Not educators alone, but i likewise leaders in the professions,! came to see that those medely trained ' technically j proved both inadequate in their role as citizens land limited in their own professional progress. Some minimum contact with the wisdom of the ages" the common heritage of the experi ence, the thinking, and the creative art of man kind seems essential for its citizens if democracy Is to preserve its vitality. ! The Harvard report recommends a re-orienta-. tion of the university's curriculum toward this ob jective. It jpoints the. , direction for preparatory schools also, advice which, can later be given force through entrance requirements. The several smaller and less famous institutions which have been ex ploring the Way for some years will welcome Har vard's fellowship and the great weight it can add to the movement. It is aid which could not have; come at a better time. Christian Science Monitor.- (Editor's Mote This is ltirke IJ Simpson's last column. He is retiring on a pension after S"j years with the Associated 'Press. Th - cofkuan tomorrow ' will be taken over by James D. WMte of the AP Saii Francisco staff.) The major fact of tbe war in Asia at the end of July, aside from what may cpme out of the Potsdam tripartite conference to affect its dura tion, is that the Japanese high seas fleet has ceased to exist. ; r i . That fleet which rujed the western Pacific al most unchallenged after the Pearl Harbor disaster has paid the full price for that "day of infamy, What remains of it has no more! than nuisance value. It can be written off strategically although its submarines, light surface craft and "suicide" flotillas are a potential menace yet to allied in vasion armadas when jthey move jon to Tokyo. That is the substance jof press advices from Guam reflecting highest naval opinion in the j Pacific command. It means that in bjasting enemy capital ships at their inland sea moorings, Admiral Hal- sey's mighty third fleet sea-air armada has ful filled its first essential mission of' the developing invasion campaign. i By every available sign it ps well ahead of the time-table mapped forjthe operation and Halsey's bold and sustained activities I in Japanese waters have been carried out with no ship casualties and substantially no enemy; resistance afloat and little in the air. j It still seems Improbable in the face of the typhoon season in Japanese i raters, however, that the invasion advance against Japan's home islands could be greatly expediated The way is too long to go with vast landing exp(dition fleets to risk typhoon interception, j The practical destruction ! of what was left of Japan's deep sea fighting strength of ships big and powerful enough o ride out jtypoon weather -and even give battle n the midst of storms ap parently does away wjth on element of specula tion as to enemy strategy in keeping that fleet in harbor despite inshore raiding by Halsey's heavy ships. There has been na munition from any source of a Japanese attempt jto venture against the third fleet or any part of it although the enemy high command must have had reasonably accurate in formation frequently is to its whereabouts and strength. j j r , : In some naval circles it has been argued that the surprise retaliation blow W often promised by radio Tokyo but never struckwas keyed to weath er. A study of what s known of Japanese fleet maneuvers prior to th war has Iconvinced some observers thai, they involved special training for bad weather operations. That has led to an as sumption that Japanes! naval strategy counted on a surprise sortie even with imited forces in the midst of a typhoon to catch allied fleets hovering off the Japanese coast at a disadvantage and deal them critical blow. f i ; I If that did in fact jplay ;ajiy part in Japanese planning after the battles of the Philippine sea had whittled enemy fTjeet strength down to little more than a substantial task force, Halsey's car rier planes backed ui by tanny! bombers from; Okinawa have utterly ioarredj the Conception. They have put out of action, according I to available of ficial allied reports, jrirtually all enemy battle craft able to keep the sea jin typhoon weather. What remains of Nipponese naval strength is strictly limited to inshore Operation in bad or threatening weather. Jt represents no threat to Anglo-American sea power and little or none to ainea communcation lines in the Pacific aside fmm possible sporadic submarine attacks, and there have "vrtw u iuwi a weeas so iar as available reports show. ttere ends for the Writer jan active newspaper career spanning nac over more than four decades.

Seth Gayle, jr of Richmond, Va., can proudly boast i being the first American hospital ever .to oper ate in Berlin, j Within 48 hours after its 30, trucks started for Berlin with the Second armored division, trailing a road column that stretched ' for several hundred miles, it already was receiving patients. I The hospital also claims to functioned under battle condi tions closer to . Berlin than any other American medical outfit. It was only 73 miles from the battered capital when the shoot ing ended. I The going was pretty tough in those days. In; fact, as hospital authorities now see it, they had no business being so close to the lighting with ah evacuation hos pital. When Gayle was recon noitering for a suitable hospital location, SS troopers killed eight soldiers only 50 yards- ahead of him, and his ! driver, Charles Davis of Hartford, Conn!, got away safely. ! Davis was rewarded with a Bronze Star by Surgeon Gen. Norman T. Kirk when he came to Berlin with President Tru man's party. Kirk also awarded Bronze Stars to: Capt. Holland T. Myers of Lexington, N.

To make sure my skull wasnt fractured, Lt Col. William G. Taylor had me carried to the ; X-ray room where Ma j. Herman - Nussbaum of Camden, N. J, made such convincing photos of ; my unfractured cranium that I ; can. never plead that a dent in my skull is responsible for an erronious story. ' My right eyelid was thoroughly lacerated. Capt Raymond L. Shilling of Ashland, Ohio, did such an artistic job of stitching and cross-stitching that lt looks normal again. He also treated my eyes to eliminate certain ef fects of the injury and to com pletely restore my vision. My feet developed an unusual swelling. There was "a rather deep gash in my right leg near the shin bone. Lt Col. Harold H. Hamilton of Plymouth,'. Mass., not only came to my ward with a who lie tray ful of medical gadgets to dress the leg and suc cessfully relieve the swelling, but for safety's sake summoned from the nearby American 101st general hospital Capt R. W. Hall of Dallas, Texas, a skin specialist All in all, I had the comforting feeling that no matter what new medical problem arose, this" out fit was equipped: to handle it. The staff consists of one colonel, two lieutenant colonels, nine majors, 20 captains, eight lieu tenants and 38 nurses, one of them a captain, 11 first lieuten ants and 28 second lieutenants.
