San Francisco. May 11. Russia, Russia, Russia, 1"
We are getting a bit tired of the theme-song of this conference,
but the plain truth is it IS the theme-song.
And one can't report this conference without reporting the
Russian attitude, for in practically every question Russia's attitude
is the vital or the most interesting factor.
e
Took a walk along the waterfront this morning, a sunny
MORNING for almost the first time since the conference opened,
And there what did we run into? The "M.S. SMOLNI" all decked
out in colorful signal flags with a huge "USSR" in red on white,
along the hull and the Muscovites all over the place.
So you can t escape the Russians in this man s town, and no
doubt the Japs will have the same trouble as did the Germans!
This ship, incidentally, is the one advertised as full of caviar,
vodka and pink-cheeked Slavic stewardesses, where sounds of
revelry are heard day and night.
Mebbe so, mebbe so.
But according to a U. S. riveter working on the ship, he had
seen no signs of any particular whoopee, or signs of vodka and
caviar either; but he believed there was to be a two-day victory
celebration starting that night that was why the boat was all
dressed up. And probably everybody would get pretty tight. He
also said he liked the Rooshians , they was quite a chummy lot.
But he couldn't say as much for "Vodkee!"
And so it goes. Russia, Russia, Russia all over the place Indoors,
outdoors, on the roof, down in the basement, and along the water-
frontl
But that remark of the riveter that the "Rooshians was a
chummy lot," interested us for it is the one thing we, and we
believe the entire press crowd here would maintain the
"Rooshians" are NOT.
So what? Well we believe that simple fact explains something,
the Russians are not only class-conscious but they are class-haters,
If there were 2500 members of the labor press here, we have no
doubt the entire Russ-allied situation would be very different.
And then up the hill to the Mark Hopkins for Mr. Anthony
Eden s last press conference. And what a contrast to the final
appearance of Comrade Molotov, except in the crowd, both
men had the SRO sign out 15 minutes before the time set.
Mr. Eden has everything Mr. Molotov lacks, charm, candor,.
culture and, last but far from least, a sense of humor.
But there, too, up popped Kipling "bear that walks like a man.
the first crack out of the box.
And those who have tried to make out all is. and has been.
sweetness and light between Russia, Britain and the United States
and that talk of friction merely "propaganda of the plutocratic
press" especially the Hearst press, were certainly knocked into
a cocked hat.
For the Polish question was the first 'thing Britain's foreign min
ister brought up. And coming from the official spokesman of
Britain it was dynamite, for in the world of diplomacy, criticism
of other countries, and particularly of an ally, are always models
of UNDERstatement.
In brief Mr. Eden declared Russia's action in imprisoning that
delegation of Polish officials that had been invited by Russia to
visit Moscow, and then keeping the matter secret for several weeks,
was sucn a flagrant breach of International etiquette, and so
estranged the conference representatives of the Big Three, that
all negotiations here on this problem had to be broken off, and the
matter referred back to the heads of the respective governments,
Churchill, President Truman and Stalin.

sailed their little gasoline launch

tection but that of the angels,
and no inducements to the na

the life and death of Christ, they
challenged heathenism in its
deepest and darkest den. And
they, came off conquerers. How
glad were those 70 odd pilots

in the hands of Christians rather
than cannibals.

As usual the East Indian representatives of Independence were
there with their usual questions, also the Palestine Jews. And
also as usual none of them got anywhere. But Mr. Eden was more
effective in this direction than Lord Cranborne had been. For he
gava more facts.
Mr. Eden explained to the Indians that dominion status had
been offered India, that the offer had never been withdrawn and
now with the German threat removed, dominion status would be
granted Just as soon as the Indians themselves could get together
and decide what form of dominion status they really wish.
e e
That certainly sounded fair enough. And the Indians apparently
had no comeback or if they did, none was offered.
The answer to the Jews was less satisfactory, but Mr. Eden did
declare there had been no vital change in the Balfour declaration,
and while the mandate difficulties had proved to be tremendous,
Great Britain Intended to fulfill the obligations of the mandate,
Just as soon and as completely as conditions allowed.
Here, too, there was no further reference to the subject.
e a
Later: Just had breakfast with one of the East Indian editors.
The Indians have a comeback but. they gave none for our friend
claimed "only questions can be asked, arguments can t be indulged
In." (That is technically true, of course, but the Indians could have
given an answer to Mr. Eden In the form of a question had they
wished. That Is repeatedly being done at these press conferences.)
The "comeback" ts briefly, that INDEPENDENCE not dominion
status is what India wants, and while Britain claims to have offered
dominion status, no such thing has really been done, it is domin
ion status in name only.
So the Indian debate could go on and on. But It won't. The
nationalist delegates have at last become convinced there will be
nothing done about India at this conference.
Our antl-camcra-shot-crusade Is making some progress. One of
the indignant editors interrupted proceedings at the Molotov
gathering and asked if the room couldn't be cleared of camera
men so the news men could hear and see SOMEthlng. No action
was taken but it shows how newspaper sentiment is running,
and in what direction.
And that reminds us.
Mr. Molotov clnlms he can't speak or understand English. But
put this historical fact down In your notebook.
At that same Molotov conference when he arrived and the
camera brigade started their usual barrage, several newsmen
yelled "sit down, sit down!" referring to the camera men, who
were standing and obstructing everyone's view.
But you should have seen tha expression on M. Molotov'a face!
He thought they were telling him to sit down, and in an angry
chorus. We shall never forget the look he gave his interpreter
and his bodyguard, before the former explained to him what
the newsmen were mad and were yelling about. It was the first
time we have ever seen an expression of strong emotion on that
Impassive poker face, and it was the emotion of dismay and fear.
So don't let anyone claim Mr. Molotov did not understand that
outburst at once, and In English "Sit DOWN!" R.W.R

Fire Marshal Taylor French to
day condemned Portland's 40-
year-old Vaughn street baseball
park as a great fire hazard.
His written report to Mayor
Earl Riley said the park is oper
ated in violation of fire codes,
that recommendations to owners
go unheeded, and that a blaze
there during the park's occupan
cy would result perhaps in its
destruction within quarter
hour, with serious casualties.
French recommended that 'only
limited time and use of the prem
ises be permitted."
He said center field bleachers,
with splintered, dried, warped
wood, were declared unsafe, and
their razing was recommended.
Neither this suggestion nor those
to rebuild faulty exit gates and
extend aisles and stairs were
followed, he said.

Tha Missionary's Work
To the editor: One of the by
products of this global war is
the changed attitude of the aver
age business man towards for
eign missions. As a rule, such
men know little about missions
and care less. Being of a prac
tical turn of mind they value all
lines of activity according to vis
ible results. And because their
reading is not along the line of
church work, they usually know
but little of what is being accom
plished by the missionary.
But the war has brought the
lowly missionary to the front as
nothing else has ever done,
wherever the soldier has gone,
he has found that the missionary
has been there before him; and
mighty glad has he been that
this is the case. Some 30 years
before our troops landed on Sol
omon Islands, a Seventh-day Ad
ventist missionary by the name
of Capt Jones and his wife
