POBLISIERJI 4-S$)l ATIOM Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, Csl May 20th: Ona hears all sorts of wild rumors. Went out to the Cliff House for dinner which Incldenlly Is no relation to tha Clift Hotel her In San Francisco, for many years a Medford favorite. And there we met a newspaper man, who informed us that the plane we were observing winging its way over the ocean toward the setting sun carried none other than Senator Tydings of Mary, land who is flying to Manila to get the low-down on the situation there. That may be true. On tht other hand It may not be., ee.ee- The same newspaper man Informed us that he hBd talked with Walter Davenport of "Colliers" awa and that in Walter's opinion ing were mixed to wit: The Nazis were "yellow;" the Japs were not. The Nazis with 3,000.000 well-equipped troops QUIT! The Japs, with less than 20,000 troops on Okinawa refused to quit. So, our Informant maintains, the war in the Far East won t be over until 19461 There was a plenary session But It was to be frank a flop. been n. g. such a long time, got up doors of the Opera House were opened and then Jammed the place, except for those sections reserved for the delegates and the press, and listened to unimportant and unimpressive remarks In French, Spanish and everything but AMERICANESE. (And let it be stated here and what might be termed Oxford language). So they ware very MUCH disappointed. Well, as far as that goes, everyone was. In fact lust WHY they held the It was to mollify the various and sundry holders of admission tickets in San Francisco and environs, who have not been able to use them. For awhile the Judicial commission reported that the old Hague World Court would be abandoned and a new world court formed for League of Nations No. 2; there were so many other important matters NOT decided, that at least from a news standpoint, tha open session might Just as the slate, so to speak, had been Moreover the conference Is at a There la a tide In the affairs of finitely at a low "ebb" and has been for several days. The reason, as usual, is Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia can't or hasn't, made up her mind (that should be HIS!) as to regional agreements or trusteeships. As a result nothing can be DONE and the isted since the show started Is now In fact In certain quarters there ence will break up with the Russian delegation climbing aboard their vodka ship and setting sail for home. Well, that COULD happen a bucket of pearls against a can of But the Russian issue is, we by hour rather than less so. You should listen to some of these British newspaper men talk, off tha record. We have an listened to them and then speculated about the defeat of Germany the second time, following the pattern of her defeat the first time when, as everyone knows the allies took on Red Russia before their armies had been disbanded. Again that COULD happen. If war is merely an extension of political strife, well, there is plenty of political strife not only under between the Kremlin and 10 Downing Street. But once more we wager almost anything against practically nothing It WON'T! Our belief that all this Is an ebb-tide that will soon turn to flood, is based upon the conviction, that within REASON, Russia will be given anything she demands here and her demands will ultimately be granted as "REASONABLE" by a majority of the powers assembled here. (The word for such action was once upon a time termed appeasement, but appeasement as a term is no longer fashionable In allied circles!) R.W.R. San Francisco, May 21st: If former President Roosevelt were only here! What a different situation there would be. For he would Im mediately sense the fundamental difficulty and in a trice correct It And how readily ha could do It. We seriously doubt If anyone else in the U. S. or any other delegation can. Yea this Impasse, as It now exists at least, would be made to order for F.D.R. Remember that speech at tha time of his Inauguration over a decade ago "There la nothing to fear but FEAR?" How true that waa psychologically speaking, and how miracul ously It cleared the atmosphere. The entire country was a dif ferent country the next day. Well, all that is needed here Is that same speech, slightly altered to fit international rather than national conditions. Then, com bined with tha former President's dynamic leadership and firm grasp of International problems. (After all neither thia depart ment nor any other, ever opposed Franklin Roosevelt on his IN TERNATIONAL policies) and needed miracle would be performed. Yes. In the wink of an eyelash what a change there would be! For all the trouble here can be placed directly at the doorstep of FEAR, fear of this, fear of that, fear of something else again, a a a a a First and foremost, of course, comes the Russian fear, a fear that has dominated and determined Stalin's policy from the outset. Fear of another "cordon-sanltalre" or In plain English, an al liance of the United States and Great Britain against Russia now that the German menace la out of the way. And no fair minded or Informed, person can deny that Judg ing the future by the PAST there Is some Justification for such distrust, such suspicion. That Is what happened after the 1st World War, how can Stalin be certain It won't happen after this onef a a a a a And then there Is the Anglo-American fear. This Is not officially admitted but it exists nevertheless, parti cularly in the subconscious of one Winston Churchill, namely: That having rid Europe of one totalitarian menace, Britain will have to face another and more Russia. And who will deny that on the attitude toward not only Poland, to the Dardanelles is strikingly similar to the old Hitler attitude toward her eastern borders. Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, before the present war started. Look at the situation In Trieste as this Is written! And Tito's explanation Is almost IDENTICAL, with Hitler's when the latter marched Into the Sudetcnland, asaln fear, fear that if he didn't, the allies or some other power, would! a a a a a Then there Is tha fear here In San Francisco on the part of the small countries that this pact Is going to make them mere pawns In the hands of the Big Three. And the fear of the Big Three that If they don't absolutely control all vital decisions, they will be forced some day by the numerical superiority of the minor powers Into taking action they do not wish to take, even to the extent of fighting a war to pull some small nation's chestnuts out of tha fire. From the outset that fear has almost entirely controlled the at titudes of the smaller nations here. a a a Fear fear, fearl Why does tha United States. now ardently backed by William Randolph Heart and his newspapers. Insist upon taking over certain island bases In tha Pacific, and having complete and ab solute control over them, the new League of Nations notwith standing Fear! ' Tha feu that If this is NOT done, soma other nation or group of who had Just returned from Okin the colors internationally speak a yesterday, the first In two weeks. People with tickets which had at sunrise and waited until tha now that here in San Francisco English is also rated a "foreign" open session is not clear, unless well have been postponed, until completed. sort of dead-center now. men, and this gathering Is de anti - Russian feeling that has ex near the boiling point. is definite fear that the confer ANYTHING can, but wa wager fish worms It won't. grant, getting more serious hour idea Messrs Mallon and Pearson as some philosophers maintain the surface here, but above it formidable one, Communist surface at least, the Russian but all her border states down nations, in soma distant future curity and survival as Japan has e e And the Big Five veto, one covenant as now proposed, at Why do the Big Five, and especially Russia Insist, upon the re tention or this veto power? Fear again, only fearl Fear that if this is NOT done the spirit of thst old "cordon sanitalre" will again come to life, and Russia may face Interests and her wishes. Fear, fear, Eliminate fear, and we refer types of fear and this conference could write a new chsrter of peace tonight and present it to sion tomorrow! And we thoroughly believe here today In person, he could, Perhaps some other person or session ends. But we doubt lti Flight o Time Medford and Jackson Co.
