What Price Allied Unity?
President Roosevelt, in his annual message, scath
ingly scored those who are trying to engender dis
unity in the allied high command.
And auite nrorierly so. Anyone in the allied camp
who is TRYING to do that should be shot at sunrise.
But who is?
THE point is, no one thus far mentioned is or has
been TRYING to disrupt the "High Command"
or cause disunity among the allies.
But many are or have been contributing to that
lack of unity and among them must be listed Presi
dent Roosevelt himself! -
Whv? Because the President has recently taken
a stand regarding Poland which is diametrically op
posed to the stand taken by his allied comrade-inarms
Joseph Stalin, big-chief of all the Russian.
NOT only that, but Prime Minister Churchill, on
the same issue, has sided with F.D.R.

principles of the Atlantic Charter.
And President Roosevelt, as he recently stated.
still believes in the principles of that charter, and
intends to continue to base American foreign policy
on them.

Herald-Tribune.)
N Other words: ,
Here is disunity among the allies which every
one at least everyone outside of the Axis deplores
and yet HOW can it be avoided?
In this particular case in two ways only.
Either Messers Roosevelt and Churchill must join
with Stalin on this Polish issue, or Stalin must join
with them.
What chance is there of any such action?
In the opinion of this department the favorable
chances will never add up to more than "one-half-of-one-percent"
MORE than that.
" What is true in Poland, is also true to a greater
or less extent, in Italy, Greece, the Balkans, France,
China and what have you.
Soviet Russia will Insist upon "friendly govern
ments" in all these countries. And by a "friendly
government" Russia means a government that would
not only be pro-Russian, but in any serious interna
tional emergency could be depended upon to side
with Russia, if necessary with force.
The United States on the other hand and prob
ably to a less extent Great Britain insists that not
Stalin, but the people in these various countries
should decide, what form of governments they de
sire. CO THERE is the split disunity in the allied camp
J if you' please.
How can it be remedied?
Again only in two ways. Either Russia must come
over to the present Anglo-American position or Brit
ain ana me united states must join with the Russian.
The chances are greater that the latter rather than
the former course finally may be decided upon, but
tnese are decidedly slim.
Which is only another way of reaching this inevit
able conclusion:
By the essential political nature of the allied set
up absolute harmony is impossible and will become
more and more difficult to attain as the defeat of
the Axis comes nearer and nearer to fulfillment
"Ike" and His Army OK
General Montgomery's hieh nraise for General
Eisenhower and the American doughboy is most
timely, and we believe entirely deserved.
There is no doubt the break in the American lines
in mid-December was a serious set-back. With the
exception of Pearl Harbor probably the most costly
of the present war, as far as American troops are
concerned.
But like Pearl Harbor and Bataan which was
the direct result of it the disaster was no reflection
upon the quality of U. S. generalship or the fighting
stamina of American troops.
SURPRISE was the cause of the trouble in both in-
No one at Pearl Harbor SUSPECTED the Jarjanese

portions against Pearl Harbor and before war nad

not only on the ground but in the air where and when
thev did.
And we mean that literally no one at least no
one in authority in the allied command.
RUT in both cases what couldn't be done, WAS
done. And in both cases the treat wonder is not
that the resulting losses were considerable, but that
they were not far more devastating than they were.
As General Montgomery is generous enough to
point out, it was the high fighting duality of Ameri
can troops, and the excellent defensive stratecrv and
resourcefulness of "General Ike," that brought this
crusning surprise attack to a halt, and enabled the
allies in a comnaritively short time to take over the
offensive from the enemy, and resume the slow but
sura drive toward Berlin.
Wsahlngton, Jan. 9 The fog
In which we have been stumb
ling along toward a world peace
organization is
beginning t o
thin out. The
outline of cer
tain events to
come Is be
coming dis
cernible. True enough,
the British
press has tak
en to abusing
American pol
icies (no doubt
for our crlti-
clsm of their policy In Greece)
and threatening - to Join the
Russians against us, while the
Russian press occasionally snaps
at us also, and our own people
look on confusedly as both the
Russians and British are con
niving against each other for
power in postwar Europe.
Yet In this very confusion
there lies a great clarity. It
seems to me events obviously
are shaping up this way:
THE administration plan is
to stage a big-three confer
ence (Roosevelt, Churchill and
Stalin) for a final settlement of
principles in a postwar club of
nations, and then have the
working diplomats draw up a
charter for it, which will be
ready in April (they hope and
expect).
This charter will pursue the
Dumbarton Oaks line to a con
clusion, and the current tend
ency, both of the administration
and much of the American pub
lic at large, is to worry whether
It can get through the senate,
with the two-thirds majority
which will be necessary.
Thus we are fretting about
crossing a distant bridge, not
only before we get to It, but
even before we cross a longer
bridge immediately ahead. The
pending problem Is to get a
sound agreement on a charter,
and the success or failure in
laying this first bridge will
automatically determine the re
sult on the second bridge. The
arrangement Itself will deter
mine whether the senate will
accept it
Thus we should be worrying
now only about getting a good
charter, yet this matter is little
discussed:
LEGISLATORS 10
STUDY QUESTION
ON LIQUOR STOCK
Salem. Ore.. Jan. (U.RV
Oregon legislators today studied
a recommendation of Gov. Earl
Snell that a Joint legislative com
mittee conduct a far-reaching in
vestigation of recent liquor pur
chases by Oregon and Washing
ton because of "certain lnnuen
dos and accusations" In the re
cent political campaign.
Snell referred to the purchase
by the two states of Kentucky
distillery stocks to furnish ex
panded liquor supplies for etate
stores. Criticism developed and
the Issue has become controver
sial, particularly in Washington.
The governor added the liquor
recommendation to his biennial
message to the legislators only
a few minutes before he ad
dressed the Joint session yester
day afternoon
Good Name Involved.
Citing that he had named men
of Integrity and character to the
commission, Snell said they were
entitled to a thorough audit and
investigation.
He suggested two senators and
three representatives be named
to direct the employment of a
oiiohio nuditine firm for the in
quiry, to be financed from the
liquor control commission iuuuo.
"Obviously." he added, "the ex
amination should, and I am sure
will be, conducted on an impar
tial, unprejudiced, non-political
basis."
Snell explained that the re
lease "of a certain audit In
Washington precipitated the ac
cusations and maintained that
the facts should be developed
because "the good name of the
state of Oregon was Involved.

COL CHAMBERLIN
TO FORT LEWIS
Col. Frank T. Chamberlln
was in Medford for a few hours
yesterday en route to Tacoma,

tioned In the future as post sur
geon for Ft. Lewis near Tacoma.
The officer left Camp White
last summer for Camp Lockett,

The officer stated mat Mrs,

CONSIDERABLE fog around
this immediate bridge has
been dispelled by recent events,
though not all.
Russia is taking military con
trol throughout central Europe
and her military occupation In
evitably will result in the es
tablishment of political regimes
under her control, directly or
indirectly. The British are do
ing the same thing In Greece,
Belgium and Holland.
France has largely been oc
cupied militarily by us, but we
are not exerting much political
control, and the French are
making certain arrangements
with Russia. Joint Anglo-American
influence prevails in Italy,
but It is the British who are
directing the choice of cabinet
ministers or vetoing them.
The realistic point of this
condition is that the Russian
seizures are absolute, unques
tioned (also completely under
censorship as to news), while
those controlled by the British
are open, democratic in theory
and subject to international
dickering and constant contro
versy (even Including shooting
revolts).
now inese occupations are
all being made under a purely
military United Nations agree
ment supposedly made at Teh
ran, and later, by Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stalin.

Will the Russians then come

maintained with the arms of
the big three? I believe they
will. They will then have what
they want and naturally will
desire a world organization plus
