Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, May 13. 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.

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

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

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.

Washington, May 16. (U.R)
There won't be enough materials
for mass production of consumer
items during the summer months
but September should see sub
stantial output of typewriters,
washing machines, and many
household items, Production
Chief J. A. Krug said today.
He indicated that automobile
oroduction may be slower in get-
tine started than had been be
lieved, although production of
consumer goods as a wnoie
should reach the 1939 rate by
the end of the year.
Krug also said that the next
two or three months will pro
duce problems in redistributing
workers.
About 15 cities in all will be
seriously affected by the end of
September, Krug said. These In
clude San Francisco, Portland,
Ore., and a number of small one-
industry towns, which he de
clined to name.
"We've pulled the economy
out of shape during the war," he
said, "and many workers will
have to return to their pre-war
