Big Chinese Welcome for American Leathernecks
The usually phlegmatic Chinese let themselves go with wild enthusiasm to welcome the first contingent
of U S marines that arrived in Tientsin. China, during the occupation of North China. The cheering crowd
stood like this from dawn until the leathernecks arrived late at night. The leathernecks are well known by the
Chinese, for during peacetime some U. S. marines were always on duty In that country.

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.
