It becomes more and more apparent that while the war in Europe has The revolution started long before the war did, In fact pro duced It. o Signs of this truth are scattered furpnre. Take the latest press gatherings Jntrnslavla. one Poland, still another indirectly, Norway and uen- mark. And a fourth, not a press here, regarding Spain. What Is the common denominator of them all? ' , Just this: RUSSIA! Bv that we mean the conflict flict between those who want Communism, and those who don't. The pattern is so plain it is hard to see how anyone could miss it. There was M. Constantlne A. Fotltch, former Jugoslav ambassa dor to the United States down at the Palace, for example. What was his complaint? Marshal Tito is merely a tool of Stalin, and unless the United Nations take action, the Jugoslavs will be forced to become vassals that Is the term he used, of Moscow. e e e Only a short time later Marshal Tito's foreign minister one Ivan Subasich, Issued a proclamation to the press here stating that M. Fotitch s pal, General Mihailovlch, would soon be arrested and shot as a traitor, he had not opposed the Germans except In token fashion, he really had aided them. Then Norway came along, Denmark and indirectly Spain. What did they want? Well Norway did not want Quisling, neither did they want Com munism. So with Denmark, they but they didn t care for the Bolsheviks. And Spain well Spain was determined to overthrow the unspeakable General Franco, but they did not want General Koroloff in his place) So ad infinitum ad nauseum, unless you have a strong stomach! Well, what, have we here? We have the revolution which of a century ago and is still going Hitler and the Nazis opposed it. Now less clearly, but no less You don't have to be the 7th son to be Nippon's finish. So willy-nilly the Russian revolution Is going to win! Yes, we believe that is the truth, in a general sense. That Is, this revolution is going to win in the same sense the French revolution won. The world is going to move far reaction during which the same world will move back to the right, and finally there will be another turn to the left, the final upshot being a marked social and political advance. At least that is the way the present writer sees It. We fail to see how anyone attending this conference, and these press conferences, could come to it is written all over the place, e a e We neglected to elaborate on But the organized Poles In this ex-Ambassador Fotitch of Jugoslavia has, namely, unless the United States and Great Britain get together and oppose Soviet Russia, Poland like Jugoslavia will be a Russian VASSAL state. So all over Europe there Is that line of cleavage within practi cally every country, those who want Communism and those who don't. Or to express the same Idea in another way, and the way Comrade Stalin would prefer, those who want Fascism, and those who don't. The trouble with that argument is the only alternative to Fascism appears to be COMMUNISM! e.aeeo Wa wish someone here, and someone in the world at large for that matter, would get up on his hind-legs and proclaim they DON'T want Fascism, and they DON'T want Communism. They do want a DEMOCRATIC world, a world in which the people, not the dictators, the bureaucrats, or the "men on horseback" determine what political course should be taken 'and what NOT. That would clear the atmosphere considerably and give one a sense of relief and of hope! But this course between the Charybdls of COMMUNISM end the Scylla of Fascism does the exact reverse. R.W.R. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, May 16 Several top navy directors have private ly served notice on State Secre tary Stcttinlus that they will not relinquish the security bases in the matter what deal he makes at San Fran cisco. This warn 1 n g followed the t h r e a t of navy and army aasrf 4 V ' ' -f Paul Manna men to with draw their support of the world conference and walk out In pro test to the Stettinius proposal for international trusteeship over the Japanese Islands we have won (reported in this col umn alone Mny 0). a e THIS action bespeaks the an- ger of all mtlltnry men with the administration's tendency to handle that problem as Island se curlty and human rights matters, when the American fleets In sea and air will be charged with the responsibility of maintaining whatevet security Is to be ob tained In the Pacific. And these defense officials also are not much Interested In "human rights" of the Japs on those Is lands. This opposition, yet undis closed officially for diplomatic reasons, may break up the Stct tinlus trusteeship program which already Is enmeshed In opposi tion from Britain and China. If not, It will preludlce chances of senate ratification of the treaties which come out of San Fran cisco. e e 'THE basic position of the navy and army I can report Is sim ply this: Any conflicts of the future are sure, to arise between the great powers, meaning specifically the Big Three, not the Big Five. The three ration. Russia, Brit ain and the United States, not only have the remaining power to make war, but under the very I terms of the San Francisco for tmula, each is reserving the right ended, tne revolution nas nui. o o all over and through this con- for example, one concerning conference but a report released that Russia represents, the con were glad to get rid of the Nazis started In Russia over a auarter STRONGI And you know where they are. certainly, Japan is opposing it. of a 7th son. to know what Is to the left, then there will be 'a any other conclusion. and in box-car typel Poland. town have the same complaint, to make war In its own interests (veto withdrawal right). Russia has not Joined the Chi cago agreement for air univer sality. She withdrew from that program opening world airports, commercially and to some extent militarily. She is not opening her sea or air bases to us any where. Territories she has con quered such as Poland, Bulgaria. Romania, Yugoslavia, etc., are not being laid bare to "interna tional trusteeships." Yet, her planes tnd fleet would have ac cess to those territories we have conquered. . Any future conflict between Russia and the United States is likely to find action In the Pa cific rather than the Atlantic. Russia is contiguous to us in the Aleutians and has bases facing ours, across Pacific waters from the Siberian mainland. Indeed, she is apt to wind up this war with more in Asia than is yet ap parent because her communists have strongholds In China. We would, with our Interna tional trusteeship proposal, pro vide her stepping stones across the Pacific to us. She could use Okinawa, the Marianas, Caro lines and other American-won bases coming this way, and she might some day develop the will for this. If Stalin promises not to, who can now say what Stalin's successor will decide in the future? . QN the other hand, we have v no desire for Asiatic con quest and would use the islands in the nlstorlc defensive Amer ican way If they were ours. Let no one say the position of the military in this matter suggests opposition to Russia, or Is anti-Russian, or overly fearful of communism. If our military does not look forward to such possibilities It would be delin quent In Its primary duty. I report these secret facts not to encourage suspicions of Rus sia. This, after all, was our own proposal, made by our state sec retary. 1 report them as a news duty.
