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

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.

Before one of the Senate hearings Dr. Oppenhelmer was asked

tuck on this country 40,000-,000 Americans might be wiped out

He not only got the report,

photostat copies of testimony

from 65 officers at the fighting
fronts in the field, and all this
has been released to the press
the past few days.

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-:

Hill and Johnson bills will not i
be acted upon before the recess
of congress, which means they
cannot be passed before next ,

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.
