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."

unarmed protestants against a foreign military dictatorship, and
demanding a special sphere of influence in that section of the
Near-East.
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.

Yes, there lg a perfect example, as we see It, of the need of a
