Time for Finesse
United States abandonment of Palestine partition is not
necessarily a betrayal of the Jews or a betrayal of United Nations;
it is. rather, an admission of failure of our muddled and equivocal
foreign policy.
Two weeks ago Senator Wayne Morse urged in a senate
speech:
" I think we want, above all, an honest policy toward Pales
tine . . . We do not want Palestine to become a football of domestic
politics. Neither do we wish to use it as a pawn in a power
politics maneuver abroad ... If we made a mistake in voting for
a partition of Palestine, then I say we should admit it, and before
the world we should take the position that we favor reconsidera
tion and a change in our vote. But let us take action one way or
the other . . ."
The United States has taken action by supporting a pro
posal made by Canada a week ago: That an interim trusteeship
be set up by the security council to "freeze" the present situa
tion in the Holy Land and maintain order while a definite settle
ment if- reached.
Whether this new move is any more '"honest" or realistic
than our previous dilatory policy is doubtfuL The issues remain
the same.
It was agreed that a national home in Palestine would be
provided for the homeless Jews and partition was the method
whereby this home was to be provided. When the Arab nations,
members of United Nations, expressed their disapproval of a
UN decision by violence and force constituting a breach of the
peace it was up to the security council, UN's peace-keeping
agency, to bring the fighting under control. The security council
could do nothing because it had no international police force
to maintain order.
So partition failed. Partition might have worked had the
United States been willing to support Haganah. the Jewish
militia, as we support the Rightists in Greece. But U. S. inaction
then as well as the latest move now would indicate that the
United States is as much concerned with protecting air bases
in the Ntar East and access to oil supplies as in fulfilling promises
to displaced Jew.
The trusteeship suggestion is no solution. It is another stall.
And. as such, it gives the United States through United Nations
an opportunity to redeem its lost face.
If The Jews suspect the United States will renege our prom
ise to them that, perhaps, this country might pull another
Trieste in Palestine they will certainly fight against trustee
ship as they have fought for partition. But if the Jews, as well
as the Arabs, can be convinced that UN and the U. S. are work
ing for their best interests, the warring factions may sign a truce.
Certainly it i not likely the security council will send an inter
national army (with Russian troops) to enforce order in Palestine.
There is one way out: a compromise settlement establish
ing a binational state in Palestine. This is the cantonal idea
proposed by UN Delegate Warren Austin. If such is in the cards,
let our statesmen play them honestly, exert pressure forthrightly
and fairly; for our bluff has been called and we have made our
bid.

a political victory, that hope
vain. To date his foreign policy
stands conspicuous for its failure.
It was a year ago this month
that the president boldly pro
claimed his purpose to contain
Russia, and aid to Greece and
Turkey was demanded to im
plement that doctrine. Today, Bul
garia, Hungary and Czechoslo
vakia are within the Soviet orbit
and results in Greece are strictly
negative.
The address of Wednesday
sounds like "thunder in the In
dex." It invokes the weapon of
force or threat of force with little
indication of how that force may
be used effectively. As far as
Europe is concerned, geography
favors Russia, and the alliance of
countries of western Europe is
plainly too weak to do more than
a brief holding operation. I agree
with Walter Lappman that we are
over extended with our pouucal
commitment in comparison with
our available and effective mili
tary power. In this pass wo need
to amplify our usable military
strength but wo need also to re
examine our political obligations.
To quote Lippman: "Unarmed,
unmobilizzed, and in a state of
civilian privacy, we cannot any
longer carry out the unlimited re
sponsibilities of universal leader
ship on every issue in every con
flict, everywhere in the world.

Boston has had the "worst win
ter since 1873-4, say the old-
timers, and remaining piles of
dirty snow and ice attest its severity.
The legislature is in session. One
of its hottest battles has been over
the question of whether dogs un
claimed at the pound may bo
turned over to medical schools for
use in the cause of science (instead
of just being shot or chloro
formed). Quite a contrast over the
grave problem which the president
discussed Wednesday and con
gress now ponders.
Trieste A Bribe
Shrewdest move the United States has made since it dropped
its hands-off policy in Italy is the joint proposal with France
and Britain that the free territory of Trieste return to Italy.
A year ago President Truman said the United States would
not oppose any regularly-elected communist government any
where. The April 18 national elections in Italy promise to be
as regular' as any in areas where communists are major con
tenders for office, but the U. S. has decided to horn in anyway
. . . and rightfully so.
American drum-beating for the Christian-Democrat party
in Italy has recently taken these turns:
1. President Truman transferred passenger and cargo
ships to Italy.
2. The state department warned that Italy would get no
more American aid if the communists win controL
3. Speaker Joe Martin has urged Italian-Americans to flood
their relatives in the old country with pleas to vote against
comrr 'mists.
4. The state department's information office using every
means possible to tell Italians that life behind the iron curtain
is no fun. Great efforts are being made to show Italians what
they wil get under Marshall plan aid if they vote ' right."
The Trieste move which, it is said, just beat Russia to the
draw is the fifth and best calculated of all. as far as influencing
the election is concerned.
It is a move that shows plainly that expediency has become
the watchword of American foreign policy. Had the Russians
first suggested Italy get Trieste, the United States would have
protested Triestians' right to be free and independent, and the
allied military government in Trieste would probably have been
strenthened.
Actually. Trieste's independence was extremely precarious
anyway. The British commander told the UN security council
recently that there was no evidence of a real disposition to
build up a local Triestine political consciousness. Some Triestians
simply wanted to be restored to Italy; others wanted to belong
to Yugoslavia. Economically, the territory was having a bad go
of it depending on European business to survive.
And Triestians were convinced that their fate depended
upon the Italian elections. They thought communist victory
would make the Anglo-American position in Trieste "untenable."
They anticipated, in that event, that Trieste would be halved
between Red Yugoslavia and Red Italy.
It would seem. then, that the "bribe" Trieste offered to
Italy by the democracies will win for us the friendship, not
only of Italian voters, but of the inhabitants of that little sea
port city. Maybe Russia- will realize the best way to influence
people is to win friends, not to purge enemies.
Bennett Cites
Need for More
School Space
Seven new grade school build
ings the. size of Garfield will be
needed to take care of pre-school
children now living in Salem who
will be in school by 1952, Frank
Bennett, Salem school superia
dent, told the Salem Chamber of
Commerce forum luncheon Mon
day. The increased need for class
rooms is not the result of recent
consolidation, ho stressed. Because
of the consolidation it will be pos
sible to build more economically,
he said.
Bennett was introduced by Roy
Harland, chairman of the Salem
school board.
The unusual jump in tho birth
rate in Marion county, and within
school district 24 in particular,
was cited by Bennett as the rea
son for the immecbato future needs
for school class rooms. He said
elementary school class rooms had
been increased by only one since
1927.
While classes have been increas
ed it has been at the expense of
play rooms, extra library rooms
and similar extra rooms and in
addition two elementary schools.
Yew and Lincoln, have been dis
continued. Bennett said.
His talk was in support of the
$1,500,000 bond issue to be vot
ed upon April 16.

WASHINGTON Tho pattern
is always the same, whether in the
United States or Europe. First
there is no mora
than a 1 1 1 1 1 o
gentle footy
footy between a
non-communist
liberal or left
winger and the
c o m m u nist.
Then, he sud
denly finds
himself their
political and in
tellectual pris
oner. Tho Lib
eral is then
compelled to
turn and rend the non-communist
left and liberal movement of
which ho was once a part. And
finally, he is forced into the kind
of petty political and intellectual
dishonesty which is the stock in
trade of his communist captors.
Henry A Wal
lace has now
completed this
process. Very
few of his fol
lowers are com
munists. They
are rather per
fectly sincere
and honest peo
ple, who have
joined tho Wal
lace movement
in a desperate
search for
peace. Certainly few of them un
derstand tho remarkable extent
to which the shaggy Wallace, with
his simple eminently American
appearance, has become the cap
tive of a group which clearly
serves a foreign interest.
Meeting Cited
Yet this can be very simply il- j
lustrated by the story (which will t
no doubt be denied) of certain '
meetings in New York City. Al- !
most every week, and usually on
Wednesday evenings, a small and i
select group gathers in a house in '
downtown New York. Tho po- ,
Litical coloration of this group I
may be judged by the fact that I
the host is none other than Mr. j
Frederick V. Field. Mr. Field is j
a known communist, a former
contributing editor and principal
angel of the new defuct com
munist magazine, "The New
Masses." The purpose of the meet
ings is to do 'research'' for, and
to plan the general tenor and
content of, the frequent speeches
of Henry A. Wallace.
The actual writing of tho Wal
lace speeches is a task usually
performed by Wallace's clever
and literate chief, gfiost. Mr. Lew
Frank, who is understood to be a
non-communist in the same, sense
that Wallace himself is a non
communist. Mr. Wallace thus pro
vides the voice. Mr. Frank pro
vides the words. But the select
company to which Mr. Field plays
host provides the ideas.
Lettish Himself Be "LaesT
This should surprise no one
who has followed Mr. Wallace's
data would spoil certain defeat
for Mrs. Douglas, and by splitting
the liberal vote, insure the elec
tion of a republican. And the
telegrams specifically queried the
two represenaUves on their atU
tude toward ERP, which it is the
announced objective of the com
munists, and thus of the Wallace
movement, to wreck. Mrs. Douglas
courageously replied re-affirming
her support for ERP. So did Mr.
Holhfield.
Mrs. Douglas and Mr. Holli
field were clearly marked for the
slaughter when tho telegram was
sent, although there is reported to
be some sentiment in national
Wallace headquarters that to kill
off a pair with so unblemished a
liberal voting record would be too
crude. Tho decision may thus be
reversed. If it is not. Reps. Doug
las and Holhfield will doubtless
soon undergo tho same campaign
of political assassination which
Mr. Paul Douglas of Chicago has
already been subjected.
EJLP Support Amllfi
Mr. Douglas, an able liberal and
new dealer, and democratic candi
date for senator m Illinois, has
been ticketed for defeat by the
Wallace forces because ho has
supported ERP. The result will al
most certainly be- the election of
the "Chicago Tribune's" fair
haired boy. Senator Curley Brooks.
Mr. Douglas has been publicly
described by Wallace propagan
dists as an advocate o immediate
war against Russia, and a friend
or the Taft-Hartley act. Both
charges are, of course, lies.
What is surprising is that Wal
lace, while proclaiming himself
tho sole inheritor of the new deal,
can lend himself to this sort of
political murder of the old new
dealers. That concerns the last
step in the Wallace pattern, which
will be considered in a forth
coming report in this space.
