DEPARTMENT OF PEACE WASHINGTON. — This columnist recently proposed that we begin thinking a little more about the Ser mon on the Mount in our internation al relations, und among other things establish u Department of Peace. It was suggested that along with the Department of War and the navy department, we set up as our first line of defense a Department of Peace to promote the idea that the only alternative to the atom bomb Is to teach the world and ourselves that we must get along with each other. One aftermath of this idea is sig nificant. It occurred in the appro priations committee of the house of representatives the other day when its members voted appropriations for the state department. It happens that the nearest thing we have to a Department of Peace is the Department of State. That or ganization is by no means perfect, and might not be ideal to operate a Department of Peace. But its new chief, Jimmy Byrnes, has some good ideas and is working hard to establish new bureaus for spreading goodwill and helping peace. He is trying to carry on the Ideas of the office of war Information which furnished propaganda to newspa pers, aimed toward a better under standing of the USA. Byrnes Is also trying to raise salaries. For years state department officials have struggled along on starvation wages. This is partly the fault of the wealthy career clique which wanted to keep wages low and thus oper ate a closed shop for themselves. So Secretary of State Byrnes is try ing to raise diplomatic wages as the I first step toward having alert dip lomats guard the peace front. However, when Byrnes' appropri ation bill got up before his old friends in congress the other day. the house appropriations committee slashed it to ribbons. They particu larly cut the new agencies patterned on the general idea of a Depart ment of Peace. MRS. ROOSEVELT'S TRAVELS Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will soon be off on another globe-girdling tour designed to help international relations. This time Mrs. Roosevelt plans to visit Russia as well as oth er war-ravaged nations in Europe. In recent weeks, she has been tak ing a more vocal, outspoken posi tion on public issues. Although she denied having blasted Secretary of State Byrnes publicly for his han dling of the foreign minister confer ence. Mrs. Roosevelt has been very sharp in private conversations about the way Truman and Byrnes have been rocking the ship of state, espe cially when it comes to foreign af-* fairs. Mrs. Roosevelt claims age is creeping up on her, but to an out side observer she gives no evidence of slowing down. She is now almost as active as she was before her hus band's death — certainly still the most forthright lady ever to live in the White House. WHY M EN LEAVE NAVY Worried about the failure of men and officers to remain in the navy. Secretary of the Navy Forrestal re cently put out an order to naval sep aration centers to interview the next 100 reserve officers who came up for discharge. The result showed bitter resentment on the part of reserve of ficers against the Annapolis clique. Here are some typical inter-views quoted verbatim: ‘.‘The only reason I would join the navy again would be if I were starv ing.” “It's mighty late for the navy to try to sell itself to reservists.” ” 1 think the officers of the regular navy are grasping, pushing and self- centered.” “The attitude of the majority of Annapolis officers to reservists is that they are to be endured only for the time being." "The Annapolis grads should cast aside their childish attitude.” MERRY-GO-ROUND <1 Judge Samuel Rosenman, one of Franklin Roosevelt’s closest friends, has become a staunch defender of Mississippi’s George Allen, who holds a similar position with Harry Truman. To his skeptical New Deal friends, Judge Rosenman protests, “ But George is a liberal." Allen, a protege of the late Senator Pat Harrison and an insurance execu tive, spends part of every morning with Truman going over his prob lems. <]. The White House is quietly pass ing the word around to newsmen not to pack their bags. There will be no more presidential junkets for quite a while. Truman got enough kidding about his journey to the Missouri county fair to last him a long time. <1 OPA estimates that 700,000 vet erans and their families have no place to live. Their wives and chil dren have been living “doubled up” while the G.I.s were out fighting. Now the veterans want a home of their own and can’t find it. Reports coming to me say that homeless vet erans will stage a demonstration in New York City. <1 The house committee on un-Amer ican activities has investigated ex- Sen. Robert Reynolds’ Nationalist party. But, according to Investi gator George McDavitt, it found nothing wrong with this group. Hard Metal Carboloy metal, near In hardness to the diamond.
