S. 1848 Editorial Correspondence New York City, N. Y Nov. 1 We can see breakers ahead for the Truman administration in many ways, but particularly in the field of foreign relations. That was F.D.R.'s strongest department; unless there is radical change In Washington It never will be Mr. Truman's. And for principally one reason, the Truman administration has no foreign policy, none at least that this department can ais- cern. Take the policy toward Russia, for example. At San Fran cisco the policy was essentially conference it was one of resistance; now it Is one of appeasement again. It Is everything by fits and starts and nothing long. In nine cases out of 10 official pronouncements add up to nothing but double-talk. Take Secretary Byrne's latest flip-flop on our Balkan policy at London, opposing Russia's dominance there, but favoring it now. In his sensational admission that Russia has as much right to a Monroe doctrine in Europe as we have in the western hemis phere, Mr. Byrnes proceeds (apparently without batting an eye) to again uphold the Atlantic Charterl But the Atlantic Charter guaranteed to every country regardless of size, the right to de termine the sort of government it or a majority of its people desired. How CAN Mr. Brynes do such a thing and keep a straight face? ' At San Francisco the present writer talked often with a rep resentative of Lithuania, one of Russia by force and now declared to be a part of Russia, ihe people of Lithuania are OVERWHELMINGLY opposed to being governed from Moscow, they can't do anything about it of course any more than Poland, Latvia, Esthonla or Finland can; but we believe history will sustain the contention that the desire for com plete independence in these Baltic states is Just as strong, and Just as Justified as the desire of our forefathers at the time of the Boston tea party. But these long suffering "Russian slaves" have no Atlantic ocean to protect THEM! e Now the latest policy announced by Secretary Byrnes, that Russia has as much right to a Monroe doctrine along her borders, as we have along ours, may be the right one. (If the Monroe doc trine were to be Interpreted in Moscow as it has been In Wash ington thero would be little question.) But that isn't the point. The point is: We can't have our cake and eat It too. We can't Brant the right of Russia to rule for that is precisely what Russia has done and intends to do, and at the same time, grant to those same countries their fight to govern THEMSELVES, a right lantic charter. In other words we can't uphold the right of national self- determination In one breath, and deny it the next. That is unless we wish to go on record as being liars and hypocrites, double talkers, double-dealers and what have you. Wo can't believe the Truman But that is what in the past few Who reallv KNOWS the significance of the atomic bomb, what its discovery means to the world This department certainly does laymen. But the scientists, particularly and perfected it, MUST. Nothing has been more surprising in mis atomic aeoaie in deed, than the contention of the politicians and the professional militarists, who for selfish reasons don't wish the present set-up changed materially, that these same scientists don't know what they are talking about when they comment upon the change this application of atomic power has done and will do, that they have become hysterical about it, grossly exaggerate its Importance, etc., etc., etc. ' 1 Well, we grant scientists are merely human. And it is con ceivable that a scientist might blow-his-top and throw a fit over some scientific discovery. But we can't conceive of all scientists doing so over the same discovery, at one and the same time. But that Is what has happened in the case of this atomic bomb. An amazing unanimity has been shown. And without excep tion the scientific world maintains this discovery is so sensational In character, so devastating and far-reaching in its effects, that the entire political character of the world must be changed 'or an Indescribable disaster will result. And with almost as great un animity the scientific world holds that some form of world government must be created to take charge of atomic power and control it or there will be no world, or at least not much of a world, left. Only a few days ago a group of over 100 well known Amer ican scientists drew up a resolution making the following five main points: 1. Other nations will soon be able to produce atomic bombs. No effective defense Is possible in atomic warfare. Safety can not be attained by superiority in atomic arma ment. Atomic war will mean the destruction of a large fraction of civilization. International cooperation of an unprecedented kind is 2. 3. S. necessary for our national Do you believe the scientists about, or that these men who are professional seekers after facts and the truth (science literally means to KNOW) are merely cock eyed and seeing tilings under the bed, while the. professional poli ticians and professional militarists, who naturally wish to keep their Jobs, ALONE know what this discovery means and what it doesn't? Finally, call In another witness who surely can be termed a qualified one. His name Is Dr. J. R. Oppenhclmer of New Mexico, who is conceded to be more responsible bomb product, "a genius in the realm of atomic power and de velopment" Is the way other scientists describe him. Before one of the Senate hearings Dr. Oppenhelmer was asked If It would be a fair statement to say thot In case of an atomic at tuck on this country 40,000-,000 Americans might be wiped out in our congested districts in one mark that, ONE raid. Hore is his considered reply: "I am afraid it isl" Forty million that Is 30 per one night! R.W.R. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Nov. 8 (U.PJ The Gen, George report for uni fication of the army and navy has now been p r I ed loose from the Joint chiefs of staffs who had hid den it r o m President Tru man and the public eye since last April. The pry ing Job was done by Sena tor Johnson of aui MalHio Colorado, act ing chairman of the military af fairs committee. He went to the White House and demanded the right to see the report in con nection with the hearings on his bill and the similar Hill bill pro posing to authorize the unification. m one of appeasement; at the London the Baltic states taken over by all countries along her borders guaranteed to them by the At administration wishes to do that. weeks it has donel and what it doesn't? not. XNor, we Deneve, ao otner those who discovered tne pomp survival. know what they are talking than anyone else for the final cent of our population gone in He not only got the report, but the White House furnished photostat copies of testimony taken by the George committee from 65 officers at the fighting fronts in the field, and all this has been released to the press the past few days. a T'HE George report, you will recall, was first published in tills column October 9. The re lease of the full document now confirms what was then pre sented to you. Thus the stale mate worked by Adm. King of the navy to throttle the move for a single department, has been broken. But the Inner situation is not entirely clear yet The only known opposition now to this agreed method of modernizing the national defense is restricted to the chairmen of the naval af fairs committees in the senate and house. The others have come around in the past few weeks. But the old navy crowd is doing Its utmost to delay ao-: tlon and rather successfully. j The prospect now' is that the Hill and Johnson bills will not i be acted upon before the recess of congress, which means they cannot be passed before next , TRIBUTE TO r'arryv.jv 1 tu CITATION FOB A TEACHER, It. Elizabeth Raynard, first member ol Women's Reserve of the U. S. Naval Reserve to receive a military naval decoration, was given a. commendation ribbon and citation by Secretary of tho Navy James Forrestal for outstanding service In connection with the development of the Women's Reserve. 8he helped train officers Investment In Victory Bonds will back those who must carry on until conditions are more stable in conquered countries. - V. S. Treasury Department spring. Overwhelming support will rally to whatever final de tailed arrangement is agreed upon between Johnson-Hill and the war department authorities, but the delay of action will be costly. The plan will no doubt re quire a year to be brought to full working efficiency. The changing of the status of bu reaus all down the line will re quire at least that much time. Simultaneously also, a reor ganization of the top men in both services Is in prospect. Adm. King will go as will Gen. Marshall, and there is a definite determination to move younger men to the top of the new single department in which the young er generals of the air force, for instance, will have equal stand ing as a third department along side the army and the navy un der a single cabinet chief. T'HE departure of Marshall and King were slated for the first of the year, but an effort has been made to induce Mr. Truman to keep Marshall on for a while to promote the youth draft plan which is his main cur rent interest now, and to keep Gen. Eisenhower in Europe be cause of the difficulties which have arisen through Russian tac tics there, delaying genuine agreement on the peace setup. There is no valid reason for these delays. The new plan should be launched immediately and the changes in personnel could best be made with the launching of the program. The delay in presentation of the re port since last April already has postponed for a year the inaug uration of the new setup. Adm. King and the old-line navy people have presented their testimony and have clearly lost the argument. Their com plaints have been rejected by the vast majority of congress. To put the matter off now fur ther and further is to tamper dangerously with the defense of the nation. The new defense plans can not be worked out until unifica tion is accomplished. As every one can see it coming eventually, decisions made now are neces sarily only of a tentative nature in both services. If Mr. Truman considers the state of the world such that he cannot demobilize speedily and completely, it then must be similarly urgent to get the unification plan into action as the efficiency of the armed forces relies Just as much upon that as upon the number of men retained.

He called on an executive of one of the big plants here, but the man was not Interested enough to even listen to his qual ifications. He just brushed him off by saying he couldn't use him, Just like that. Would it hurt to ask him to be seated, to interview him and show a little interest? Perhaps after he heard his qualifications he could ar range an interview with some other business man of his ac quaintance who would have need for such a person. Why can't they at least be courteous and interested in the returned soldier? I happen to know that this veteran has a business back ground far above the average, is college trained, has a wonder ful personality, is good at fig ures and is an exceptionally fine salesman.
