The War Veto Issue .
a
To the Editor: I
We were interested in your editorial regarding the
Dumbarton pact in your Friday's issue, as this group has
been studying the matter. Haven't you overlooked an lm-.
portant point In your criticism of the program as far as the
Security Council Is concerned. It is our understanding that
not only the five great powers you mention but six other
? lowers are to be members of this body and the latter not
he former will hold the balance of power in any action
taken. So if war were threatened the five great powers alone
could not veto the use of force, the six powers could over
ride them. T'S'G-, :
(Name on file)
We haven't the complete text of the Dumbarton
agreement but we have
issued at the close of the October meeting, ana assume
that is correct. ,
Accordintr to that summary there is a Council of II
members but only 5 permanent ones, the United
States, Russia, Britain, France and China. And in
case of a threatened war, to prevent which all peace
ful means have failed, any decision to employ force
must be UNANIMOUS.
That is what we meant by veto. .
Say 30 years from now France should decide to
attack Spain because of boundary disputes in North
Africa. Spain should appeal to 'the League Council
to take action against France. This action could NOT
be taken, unless France agreed to it What chance
would there be of that I
"THE Council does consist
majority would rule in
in the case of a war declaration. Can our correspond
ent imagine a condition, even in the former case,
where the permanent five great powers would be
overruled by a combination of the six small and
temporary ones?
Only one of the latter would be needed for the five
permanent powers to gain
And look ,at the overwhelming force behind that
permanent as compared with the temporary member

defect in the Dumbarton agreement, but it is, as
we see it, a serious one which should be corrected.
It Will Be No Picnic
The approaching "Big Three" conference may well
be the most important of
to speak, is over.
In previous conferences the defeat of Germany was
the main topic, the ways and means.
On this question, Britain, the United States and
Russia were in perfect harmony, and anything any
one of them believed would contribute toward this
end was highly acceptable.
BUT while Germany has not yet given up the ghost

So the main topic at this meeting will not be how
to defeat Germany but what to do with Germany

LUMBERMEN ARE
URGED TO FALL
E
Portland, Ore. (U.B Prema
ture logging of young growth in
West Coast areas may threaten
the future of forestry and opera
tors should move at once to get
on a basis of continuing growth,
warns Emanuel Fritz, forestry
faculty member of the Univer
sity of California.
Fritz told members of the
Western Forestry Assn. of Drob-
lems created by the sudden In
crease In the industry's output
in the past few years. He urged
concentration on stands which
are mature or over-mature and
said the lumbermen of Califor
nia, Oregon and Washington
should be thinking of the days
when their industry must be
supported by new stands.
Sustained Yltld
"Sustained yield is only an
Ideal," Fritz explained. "No
lumberman will know when he
has a sustained yield on his tim
ber lands. However. It is an
ideal that should be aimed for
and approached as nearly as
possible. But -neither the public
nor the private forester will be
able to say positively that this
or that timber stand has a sus
tained yield."
Fritz said Public Law 273,
living the U. S. forest service
power to set, up co-operate tim
ber stand ownership working to
ward sustaining yield, "is a step
In the right direction, provided
the federal government doesn't
use it to build up its own local
power." He said one possible
downfall in applying the act
would be the private individual
who will put less into the co
operative agreement than he
gets out of it
Plastics No Cure-all
Plastics will not be a cure-all
for the Industry, although they
have great possibilities, Fritz
said. He said lumbermen must
not lose sight of the fact that
when they make plastics they
are making a product which Is
in competition with their own
major project of lumber. He
added that the steel and light
metals industry are organized
better than is the lumber in
dustry as to research and mar
keting facilities for new prod
ucts aiter uie war.

in Washington state has grown

18,000 GTS AIL
EUROPEAN FRONT,
FLOCKTO PARIS
Half Involved In the Black
Markets Arrests Triple
Past Month
Paris, Jan. 27 (U.B Between
18,000 and 19,000 American sol
diers equivalent to one and
one-half combat infantry divi
sions are absent without leave
in the European theater, mostly
in this city, the provost mar
shal's office disclosed today.
The statement followed one
by Brig. Gen. Pleas B. Rogers,
commanding general of the
Seine section, who placed the
number at about 12,000 with
more than half involved in
Paris black market operations.
Simultaneously, . Col. Ernest
Buhrmaster, formerly London
provost marshal and now of the
Seine section, said., arrests in
Paris had tripled in recent
months.
'In London, 700 MPs took
care of the situation," Buhrmas
ter said. "We have . 4,000 in
Paris although It is not as im
portant a base as London was
before the invasion. .
He said the number AWOL
was twice as high as before the
invasion, but emphasized it was
lower than during the first
world war.
'Even more serious Is the
channelization of crime among
soldiers into gangs,'' he added.
Black market operations are
rife for two reasons, Buhrmaster
said. First, the low exchange
rate gives soldiers only meager
pay while it enables them to ob
tain fabulous prices in France
for government equipment. Sec
ond, acute civilian shortages
have created a market for any
thing the soldiers sell.

APPROVAL
SENATE
OF WALLACE HELD
Democrats Maneuver For
Peace In Own Ranks
No Compromise
Washington, Jan. 27 U.R)
Senate confirmation of .former
vice president Henry A. Wallace
as secretary of commerce ap
peared highly improbable to
night. This appeared to be true re
gardless of whether or not the
commerce secretary Is permitted
to hang on to the vast lending
powers which have been exer
cised by Jesse H. Jones.
Senate sentiment against con
firmation shaped up as a little
band of democratic senators ma
neuvered behind the scenes to
persuade Wallace himself to take
some step to placate his opposi
tion.
These senators have no Inten
tion of voting for confirmation
unless they are assured that the
reconstruction finance corp. will
be divorced from the commerce
department.
If It is, they said, they will
vote for confirmation. That is
the way they would like it to be,
because it would be embarras
sing for them to have to vote
against their party leader's
choice for the post.
They have asked Wallace to
send an emissary to the com
merce committee which yester
day voted against Wallace and
for divorcement of the RFC or
to senate leaders with the sugges
tion that his nomination be held
up until the RFC bill can be en
acted. These senators, who never ob
jected to the dual job of com
merce secretary and loan admin
istrator as long as Jones held it,
said Wallace also might ask
President Roosevelt to Inform
senate leaders that he would
sign the George bill taking the
RFC away from the commerce
department
That Wallace would do either
of these things did not seem like
ly, however. One of the more
articulate groups supporting
him, the businessmen for Wal
lace committee, declared today
that he should get the commerce
post with all its RFC trimmings.
The statement was signed by
James H. McGill of Valparaiso,
Ind., chairman. '
But senator after senator
democrats as well as republicans
indicated in off-the-record con
versation that they would vote
against confirmation in any
event. There thus appeared to
be no margin for compromise.
