The Echo
EROSION
The world hope that enduring peace would be built on the
agreements reached at Yalta has been eroding bit by bit since
the first White house announcement. Basicly the eroding fac
tor ha3 been the difference between the Russian intention and
desire to keep the peace, as described by President Roosevelt,
and that country's specific acts.
Mr. Churchill and President Roosevelt have defended the
settlement of the Polish question that was dictated by Stalin
though neither and naturally has been willing to say that
he would have, himself, proposed it. Neither has even de
fended it was simply announced the settlement of the
power veto question left open at Dumbarton Uaks. a,ach
and airain naturally has kept silent on that subject.
Now the world is hearing about and pondering two recent
moves by Russia one of which promises anything but peace.
In the first of these Moscow influences brought about the
overthrow of a government in Romania without agreement
of Britain and the United States. This was done in spite of
the fact that the Crimea conference agreement was for joint
action whenever the allies find it necessary to inject them.
selves into a country's politics- The other and the more seri
ous one is Russia s denouncement of her treaty ot non-ag.
gression with Turkey.
In our simple mind the idea persists that if a non-aggres
sion treaty is called off it is because aggression is planned. In
the case of Russia and Turkey what Russia wants is obvious
and she has put herself in position to go after it without suf
fering a charge of treaty breaking if Turkey refuses the
concession. Russia wants free passage from the Black sea to
the Aegean and thus to the Mediterranean. Does the course
she has embarked upon as a means of getting what she wants
suggest peace
This latest development makes fully understandable the
Russian position on that veto question. Even when it was
being argued the Soviets had their plans made. Of course, they
would not agree to the final peace making procedure that was
proposed, qi course, they insisted on the veto right.
Does Russia in fact want peace?
Was this Dardanelles question discussed at Yalta ?

SULLIVAN RECOGNIZES MORSE
More praise for Senator Wayne Morse for his action
securing the acceptance of an independent agency to review
appeals from war manpower orders is found in one of Mark
Sullivan's recent columns. We like Sullivan's recognition of
Senator Morse as a true liberal. He says :
Important In this Incident are the man who caused it and
his background. Senator Morse is a liberal, and a strong one,
but a liberal In the true sense the sense which says the main
objective of real liberalism is protection of the individual
citizen from arbitrary acts of government. Until last year
Mr. Morse was himself an official of a government agency,
the War Labor Board. He was thought of, loosely and inac
i curately, as a New Dealer, though he'showed restlessness
about some trends within his own W.L.B. and elsewhere in
the New Deal. It was probably this restlessness which led
him to seek the Republican nomination for Senator from
Oregon, which hp won, and he was successful In the election.
It Is pertinent that Mr. Morse is a scholar in law. He was
dean of the University of Oregon law school.

Change in Land

The government has rejected a
proposal of the Jefferson county

word received here today from
Sen. Guy Cordon. The grange,
contending that much of the land
was Irrigable and suitable for
farming, had made the plea sev
eral weeks ago.
Sen. Cordon advised that Hugh
W. Bennett, federal soil conserv
ationist, was not in favor of the
plan because the land has only
eieht inches of average rainfall
and has a record for failure for
dry farming. Bennett held that
only about 500 acres of the mar
ginal land can be irrigated, and
that approximately 102,000 acres
are suitable for grazing "in vary
ing degrees of productivity."
Assurance Given
Bennett was reported to have

I pushed the elevator button
and I heard the car" toiling ilowly

light from the1 car appeared, made
a broadening square on the frost

outer door and had my hand on
the grilled Inner gate. I stopped
there. I stared into the car. It

A SENSE OF UNEASINESS
V
I had reached Arlington Street
before something made me turn
round. It was the quiet time
before the theater crowd got out
nil the streets were almost de
serted.' About a hundred yards
behind me someone was just
lighting a clgaret. The match
flared in the darkness and then
went out. I saw him toss the
match Into the gutter and, as I
crossed the street, I kept him on
the edge ot my vision. Now 1
felt the gold amulet in my pocket
and wished thnt it was back in 1
Calavestri's bag.
The night light in the lobby of
the Commonwealth Apartments
gleamed dimly. The Interior of
the automatic lift smelt of cie.a-'
rets. At my floor I swung the!
safely gate shut with a clang,
crossed the hall, and put Char
ley's key In the lock. The door!
was unlocked. 1 here was a gentle 1
squeak from the hinges as I

"Charley?" I called not tool

"Nick." It was l'at's voice and
there was a note ol anxiety in it.
"I've been trying to gel you for
the last half hour."
"I just got In. What's wrong?"
''Nick. You won't think I'm
being silly." Her voice bloke in
a nervous laugh. "I've a horrible

! At that moment I happened to
glance Into the fireplace and a
cold needle thrill ran along my
spine. In the grate lay a burning
clgaret. Its smoke curling inno
cently up the chimney. Then l'at's
voice came over the wire.
"Nick! Are you there?"
"Yes. I'm here."
"I thought something might
have happened."
"No. Nothing happened."
"You haven't seen Eric?" .
"No. Why should I?"
"I don't know," Pat said uncer
