IF this report is true, the skipper of this department is inclined to credit it, then it is a pretty safe wager "Commissioner" Stalin will have his way. For with the Russians practically in Berlin and the allies still west of the Rhine, Comrade Joe holds four aces, and if the 5th card is a deuce then deuces are wild. If he seriously wants anything therefore at this conference, even though it's two to one, he is mighty apt to get it. COR Uncle Joe doesn't go half way in anything, and 1 isn't bothered with scraps of paper or fine-spun moral scruples. If anything stands in his way or Russia's, he isn't going to side-step or by-pass it, he is going head-on into and over it. He has the men. he has the truns. he has the guts, why shouldn't CO if "unconditional surrender" is done in at this meeting or comes out so mauled and mutilated that its best friends will be unable to recognize it, no one need be surprised. uon't worry. This won't be an easy peace for Germany and nar- ticularly for Herr Hitler and his gang. But it will be an understandable one, with terms calculated to separate the Nazi Germans from the rank and file, instead or tnrowing them "Gotterdammerung." As To Racial Prejudices Calling upon the churches to furnish the leadership In eliminating racial discrimination, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America recently declared In a special Race Relations Message that colored servicemen who have fought along with their white comrades "will not accept in Peace that which in war they opposed unto the death." 'The war has made clear how false have been many of our racial attitudes," asserted the message. "Upon a hundred battlefields and in a thousand camps the tests of war have shown that there Is no basic difference between men." To build a "nation and a world where there shall be no discrimination on the basis of color, creed or national origin," the Message outlined twelve "musts" for Christians: 1. We must realize that we have moral obligations to all men. 3. We must demonstrate in practice our' belief In the intrinsic worth and dignity of every human being. 8.' We must recognize that lines of division based upon color alone are unjust and tyrannical. 4. We must substitute pride in the human race .'or racial pride. 8. We must break away from the prejudices of convention -and caste. 6. We must make sure that every public measure to im prove the quality of life of our people shall apply equal ly to all citizens. 7. We must Insure, in so far as legislation can, equal oppor tunity in every kind of useful work for all persons of equal skill and energy. 8. We must make sure that the life of a person, his standing in the community and ability to meet his needs is not made to depend upon race or color but only upon char acter and willingness to contribute his best. 9. ' We must oppose all charlatans and demagogues, giving no quarter to those who would fan into flame racial animosities, 10. We must support with counsel, service and material re sources all constructive efforts for equal Justice and opportunity for all. TO which we humbly add a devout "Amen!"

But just to be realistic about it: How many CAN? It is like asking a parent, to be as interested in and devoted to the children of his neighbor, as his own. e e e . THE goal is right, and all right-thinking people will endorse this effort of the Federal Council of Churches, to reach it. , But let no one be deceived as to the difficulties ahead. For example : When the veterans of this war return, 10 million strong, and are asked to be as proud of and interested in the human low and Teutonic foes as or them will comply, or could succeed, if they really made the efforw- .

HAND VIEW OF LONDON PRESS Critical of British and Soviet Policies In Greece and Poland. London, Sunday, Feb. 4 0J.R) The Sunday Observer, usually well informed diplomatically, in dicated today that President Roosevelt was playing a dom inant role in the big three con ference, expressing an outspoken American attitude on differences in allied policies. "Hints from high American officials suggest that President Roosevelt is going to play (or is perhaps already playing) a most active part at the big three con ference," the observer said. "He hasmade it clear that he will be outspoken on differences in policies of allies and will make several proposals on how to set tle them." The Observer said the United States opposes an totalitarian or authoritarian regimes, "whether of right or left that may be sponsored or propped up by Rus sia or Great Britain," and that Mr. Roosevelt was believed to be strongly critical of British policy in Greece and Italy and Russian policy In Poland. The United States is prepared to use its many bargaining coun ters, especially economic, to en force open door politics and is likely to ask from Russia that no communist governments be sponsored in liberated countries of the Russian zone, the Observer said. The newspaper added that Mr. Roosevelt favors settlement of Germany's future now rather than at a peace conference and has rejected all lenient peace proposals although not going as far as British and Russian ad vocates of harsh terms. The Observer believed the president would suggest that the German frontier be not along the Oder river, but about half way between the Oder and the 1939 Polish frontier. Similarly, while supporting a Curzon line settlement in Poland, he was said to oppose the "Curzon A" settlement supported by Church ill, preferring "Curzon B, un der which Poland would retain Lwow and the Galician oil fields. The big three, the Observer said, is likely to discuss a new Polish- settlement providing for fusion of the London and Oublin governments in which the politi cal parties and groupings in London and in exile would co operate, the Observer said. The Sunday Dispatch said the No. 1 priority item on the agenda of the meeting of Presi dent Rosevelt, Marshal Josef Stalin and Prune Minister Win ston Churchill is "what to do in case of early German collapse." Since postwar plans for Ger many already have been worked out the big three now has only to discuss their details, the news paoer said. They are also expected to make a final demand for Ger many's surrender, the Dispatch said. The Germans have sug gested that the big three will issue a new version of Wilson's 14 points. The Sunday Times said the first task of the meeting will be to decide on the final measures to end nazi resistance and treat ment to be given the defeated enemy. It added that the nazi leaders are obviously apprehen sive that the allied statements may appeal to the German peo ple "over the heads of the gang sters in control," and that the Germans seem to think such action might lead to that crack of which they are so terrified."

Oihmtn United Press Correspondent Washington, Feb. 3 (U.PJ This, friends, was one oi mose weeks in your national capital. The place ran out of headache powders, for reasons hereinafter to become apparent, and it is with a shaky hand that I record the facts: A zebra In the zoo got loose and trotted down diplomatic row, giving certain jguys in spats the meemies. Rep. F. Edward Herbert, pronounced a-bar, call ed Secretary of Interior Ickes a chameleon. The Chicago tax as sessor forwarded Honest Harold an apology for claiming that he fudged $8,000 on his real estate, returns. Mrs. Roosevelt announced that the White House never ordered; it Just asked. The Hercules Pow der company bought a patent for chewing gum. Senator Alben W. Barkley turned up for -work in a piratical eye patch; he said the doc told him to wear it whenever there was a strong wind, so obviously he'd have to wear it in the senate. '. A couple of congressmen, the Messrs. John Dingell of Michi gan and Edward A. Kelly of Illi nois got their signals mixed and delivered the same speech the same afternoon. At 2 p. m. Rep. Dingell sounded off on the cheap-looking buttons the army gives discharged soldiers. At 4 p. m. Rep. Kelley echoed his exact words about the cheap looking buttons the army gives discharged soldiers. Kelley henceforth will write his speeches, himself. He prom ises. "The Merry Widow" came to the capital's only legitimate theater, but in modern dress: it still sounded fine. The weath er got cold and pigeons crowded by the thousands on the treasury department's ledges; it imme diately became hazardous to walk Into Secretary Morgen thau's place. The senate military affairs committee voted to make Elliott Roosevelt a brigadier general without once mentioning a cer tain pooch, name of Blaze. The federal trade commission out lawed steel-jacketed Bibles, ad vertised as the proper thing for soldiers to wear over their hearts; the commission used 'em for target practice and decided that a bullet which had gone through one made a more dan gerous wound than one which hadn't. The OPA announced there was plenty of coffee. A speaker at the family life conference at Catholic univer sity said perfume ads were too sexy; ditto female underweai displays. Vice President Harry Truman flew to Kansas City in an army plane for the funeral of Tom Pendergast; then he flew back, to find himself threatening to clear spectators from the gal lery if they didn't stop booing Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. What Taft did was say he wouldn't like Henry A. Wallace any more a month hence than he does now. JUSTICE SEIZES Anclsco, Feb. 3 (U.PJ Nat J L.
