Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia is
mid at Sir Harold Alexander for
stating Tito is attempting to take
Trieste and parts of Austria, In
"a manner reminiscent of Hit
ler, Mussolini and Japan." Those
are fighting words, even if Sir
Alexander did smile when he
said them.

HOW THE WIND BLOWS
"During a recent storm at

blew so far away that he has not

Hand Caplinger found it on the
reservation and cut it up into
post holes and sold them to the
ranchers there. This was the
worst storm that we ever saw."

Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, May 17. One feature of this conference would
have delighted former President Wilson, open covenants openiy
arrived at.
There are secret sessions of course, have to be. But If the
people of the country don't know pretty well what is going on in
those sessions their newspapers are 'falling down on the Job
terribly. For almost every day there is a report of progress in
thi.au nnen rjress conferences, and in 90 of them, we are con
vinced, ALL the cards are laid on the table. Whatever the final
result of this gathering there should be no doubt of this:
That result will be the product of essentially DEMOCRATIC
processes.
One of our favorites. Commander Stassen, had a conference In
the Red Room at the Fairmont today. And, as usual, he handled
himself, and the conference, in masterly style.
In marked contrast to so many other of the "Big Shots" here,
he is dignified without being pompous; gracious without being
Ingratiating; self-assured without being assertive.
And, also in marked contrast, he is a quick thinner ana a succinct
counter-puncher, verbally we mean.
In the opinion of the writer, at least, ne stands neaa ana
shoulders, above any other member of the U. S. delegation.
The Commander reported progress on the troublesome trustee
ship Question. (The details have been carried in the press reports,
of course, so they need not be repeated here.) Russia now is the
only stumbling block.
As usual our East Indian friend who looks like a stage Mephis-
topholes in a burned cork show, but is a very gentlemanly and
well-spoken member of the Fourth Estate, asked about trusteeship
as it might affect those countries that are now members of the
United Nations. (East India is represented officially by a hand
picked delegation here.)
And. as usual, he aot nowhere.
(We have to say this1 for the East Indians, they are about as
civilized, intelligent and attractive as any group here, but (we are
referring to the nationalist group) they are almost as inept as the
Russians when it comes to savoir faire. They Just don t know
when to keep still, and when not to.-
The delegates to this conference certainly earn their pay, though
they get none. They literally do work night and day, with no
overtime and not much rest on Sunday.
Even so their hours of hard work can't compare with the mem
bers of the Secretariat. The Secretariat occupy the entire fourth
floor of the Veterans Building at the Civic Center, they do all
the clerical work, keep the books so to speak.
Strolled around there yesterday on a press tour, quite a sight.
Talk about mimeographing! What would you think of a million
sheets every 24 hours?! And in every United Nations tongue but
Chinese. The Chinese have to make their reports by hand,
believe it or notl And that la what they do, put the proceedings in
pictures ideographs if you please.
We used to call tha japs wonderful little people." This con
ference has convinced us the Chinese are wonderful BIG people,
big spiritually we mean.
But tha printing Job can't be done by mimeographing alone. So
they have a branch of the government printing office here and
then the overflow Is sent out to local printing shops. We should
say this is the most colossal rush printing Job ever undertaken,
and no one Is falling down on it.
No wonder the higher-ups are getting a bit concerned about
expenses and have established an interim budget committee, to
cover the period between the time the new League Is formed and
it starts to function. The job that is being done here In clerical
directions alone, runs Into money big money.
a e e e a
But to return to the Chinese for a moment.
We have frequently referred to Dr. Soong's splendid keynote
speech and his emphasis on the vital point of sacrificing some
national sovereignty, if this or any International organization
to enforce peace is to be successful.
Well the Chronicle here publishes a dally bulletin of foreign
newspaper comment on the conference, which is distributed to the
press, a very fine service Indeed. The latest issue leads off with
the following from the "Ta Kung Pao, Independent paper of
Chungking:
"While fully aware of the Importance of building the
proposed international organization itself, we feel the crux
. of tha question lies here:
"Whether tha people who are to enforce and safeguard
this organization will resolutely and with courage discard
all traditional self-interest, narrow-mindedness, inertia and
short-sightedness, and whether they will bravely take their
responsibility as citizens of the world."
Put that statement with Dr. Soong's and you have the ESSENCE
of the entire world peace problem! R.W.R.
IBALL AND CHAIN
T
Washington, May 21 U.R
The tight web of wartime con
trols over production has been
loosened considerably since V-E
day but a study of regulations
remaining on the books indicat
ed today that manufacturers are
still in a straitjacket as far as
making civilian goods is con
cerned. More than a hundred of civil
ian products have been released
from restrictions in the past few
weeks. But the action lifting the
ban on. their production is sim
ilar to freeing a prisoner while
at the same time ordering him to
go on wearing a ball and chain.
The prohibition on making
these articles is gone but most
of the orders denying use of
materials remain.
Barkley Blames "All
Germans for Nazism
Pittsburgh, May 21 UPJ
Senator Alben W. Barkley, re
cently returned from a tour of
German concentration camps,
said that all German people
should be punished for the dam
age inflicted on the world by
Nazism.
"It was the people of Germany
that elected Hitler to rule them"
Barkley said, "and it is the peo
ple of Germany who must now
answer for him."
The Kentucky senator said
that he believed that all the
German people, from the highest
government official to the lowli
est peasant . farmer, should be
punished to some extent.
