Perry As a way of getting out of fill ins our allotted apace this day and date, plug the pressure of other household duties, herewith la printed the major portion of an editorial from the esteemed New York Herald-Tribune that covers what is bothering a lot of folks, hereabouts. It reads: The Vie of Secrecy "Mr. Eden has returned to London to tell Parliament that he has been summoned back by a 'number of serious and dis quieting issues.' But he did not tell Parliament what they were. Mr. Churchill has expressed a 'devout' hope that there will be an early meeting of the Rus sian, American and British chiefs of state, but he hag not said why he should wish for it go earnestly. 'It would be very od,' he tactfully remarked, 'If auch a long, fierce war ended without any settlement among the .vic tors,' but he did not explain what there is which remaina to bo settled or why great nations dedicated to a common aim should, on the morrow of their inspiring common victory, be so concerned about the possibility of their getting together. Pres- IH.nf Tnimati I... malii thnt (I,... will be an early meeting of the I Big Three;' he hag not said what! they will talk about. There la something grotesquely ly wrong about this picture. And, to our mind, It is not difficult to discern what it la. It is the impenetrable cloud of secrecy and suppression and rumor in which all issues of inter-AUled relations have been wrapped. There is, at thlg moment, no dis cernible difference in interest, policy, purpose or attitude be tween Russia. Britain and the United States which la worth a I candle by comparison with tha enormous sacrifices and suffer ings through which the respec tive peoples have fought their way to the threshhold of a bet 'tT world. Thera is no intell liglble reason for long faces, alarmed 'disquiet mysterious fears aa among three great and free peoples, each firmly dedi cated in its own way to the dig nity of man, whose soldiers know the close comradeship of the battlefield even If their pub licists do not. There ig nothing here of consequence; there lg only a log of censorship, a night of timid suppressions in which non-existent ghosts of rumor are free to walk, rattling non-existent chains of auperstltion and ancient prejudice. "It is not easy to opportion the blame for this situation. The Russians must take a heavy ahare. Perhaps the major cause of the growing public discour agement over our chances of working well In peace with the Russians has been their unhappy retention, after a great victory won with powerful allies, of at titudes and methods worked out in years of Isolation from the world and barely veiled hos tility. Only this can explain the stupidity of their Informa 'tion and publicity policies, the coyness of their administrators in eastern Europe or the brug quencsg of their representatives in the west, Deep-rooted fears and prejudices and old bad habits are an explanation, but they are no Justification for the lack of dignity and self-confl-dence with which the Soviets too often put their worst foot forward in dealing with their allies." Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, May 22. Whatever this conference does,. . . . . Linrf B nortain aoes noi ao, oo mine. , . , It has demonstrated in countless ways, the crying need of such an organization aa it proposes to create, namely: An organization to settle international differences on the basis of justice and fair piay, raraer .nan u u u We have Just returned from a press conference put on by the ... .1 ' Crta and T plinnnn aeieKtuiuii um It didn't promise much, but that is one thing about this gather ing, you never can leu. ..... . .

Kn ihmrm vou have it. Essentially the same problem as the problem in Poland, from the standpoint at least of the London, as opposed to the Lublin Polish, government. And so with India, and beiore this meeting adjourns pernaps with many other countries. We will say this: The representatives from Lebanon and Syria they are two independent republics, no longer under mandates. maae a very stronB case. They answered every question. Their representatives taiicea in French, English and Arabic, with equal faculty. We wll sav this: One of the French newspaper men asked several questions (In French) trying to establish the fact that France had done nothing out of the way, but had an army in Syria and Lebanon Just as England had and has. and the riots and casualties had been due to misunderstandings on both sides, rather than any effort on the part of France to establish by force any sphere of influence. - Well, so what? Your correspondent as an innocent bystander admits his sympa thies were with the Arabs, but only one side was presented. At least officially. The French newspaperman did not represent his government, only himself. So here we have a perfect example of the need of some judicial and impartial tribunal, such as the proposed World Court would be if and when established. The representatives of Syria and Lebanon said one thing. The French newspaper man said, or tried to say, something entirely different. WHO was right? WHO was wrong? Obviously if force the old army game of trial-by-battle Is to decide. France will win. We doubt if Syria and Lebanon would have much more chance against the French army, than the Medford police force against the U. S. 9th army or the police force of New York City. But that would not decide anything from the standpoint of what Is right and just. A W6rld Court properly organized and conducted WOULD. It would listen to the charges made by Syria and Lebanon; then it'vvotild listen to the refutations from France, and then, like any civil court, it would decide who was right and who wrong. And Its decisions not the desires or special pleas of the dis putants, would be established and then upheld by FORCE. e e e e Yes, there lg a perfect example, as we see It, of the need of a World Court 8S an firiltlnpt in tha nrnnncoJ not., Ton,.,,. .
