"Years ago I took to leaving my No. 2 overcoat at the office -just in case. Since then so many optimistic acquaintances have arrived in town with only toothbrush for baggage and have gone home wearing my second-best Benny that I think of them as my Overcoat Club. "That's why I had the nerve recently to offer a membership to brand-new acquaintance, even if, until a few days ago, be was a full 'chicken' colonel with lots of ribbons and influ ence in his community. He was just borne from the tropics end shivering. - "Afterward he told me he doubted if a five-star general could get a store-bought civil ian overcoat in these clothing shortage days. So, until some store supplies him, Old No. 2 Is keeping him warm. And we're both happy. "All this moves me to ask you to write one of those non commercial ads of yours and suggest that instead of leav ing tverytbing to Uncle Sam everybody try person-to-person ways of helping veterans. "Remember that unlike your 8,000 not all veterans have jobs a-walting. Many youngsters are groping for a start. Many older veterans face problems in picking up those loose ends. Others must find ways to use new capabilities and a new maturity. "When such men knock at our doors for counsel, let's earn a fioe inward glow by giving them our best personal atten tion. Let's remember they did not hesitate when it was their turn to do something for us in person. So how about that ad?. ..Can do?...J.H." Answer i Dear J.H. : Can do ! You've done it!

News Behind The News By Paul Malloo l'irfllJ Paul Mallnn Washington, Feb. 25 In com plete official privacy, the state department has spent some weeks getting up a new state ment of Amer ican fo r e i g n policy. The only great quest ion, of policy, of course, is how to treat Russia. On this, the paper was not illuminating in its original form. The Byrnes policy established at Moscow and London since mid-December has been sub stantially this: Press no point which would be offensive to Russian claims. Retreat on pol icy as much as possible and ac cept Russian contentions. The apparent but not professed pur pose has been to entice Russia out of her nationalistic isolation into dealing in the world of af fairs. THIS has kept world news rather calm but events be hind the news, particularly from Europe, are working up boldly and may break sensationally. Do not, for instance, let your self be currently misled into be lieving the domination of the French government by com munists and socialists is a per manent arrangement, or that the name pt De Gaulle will re main forever in retirement from French politics. Give greater notice than has been given to the victory of the Belgian Cath olic party over both communists and socialists. Belgium is half French with all the same ele ments of French politics in mina ture. Indeed throughout Europe, even in Yugoslavia, the resist ance to communism is taking the only effective form yet evidenc ed in the gathering together of Catholic elements. I have heard American states men say these Christian groups are the only ones in the world today who know how to resist communism, Ideologically or po litically. They have a firm ide ology themselves. BRITAIN was the first nation to talk up to the Soviets, but the diplomatic resistance of Bevin at the London UNO con ference was tactical rather than formidable) The Russians had raised the question of British influence in Greece, primarily to cover their own tracks in j Poland, the Balkans, Iran, Tur-1 key and other places where they are attempting to extend their Influence. They forced Britain to the defensive by rais ing this question. After accomplishing this pur pose, and succeeding in getting UNO to allow Moscow to deal separately with a pro-commu nism Iranian prime minister in stalled at Teheran for the pur pose Russia withdrew her Greek charges against Bevin. The Indonesian charges she con tinued to press, keeping Britain on the defensive. Bevin, treating with Moscow, twice passed "the lie" to them and they backed down, true enough. But when you add up the results, you will see Russia won the action she wanted from UNO, while Bevin won nothing except the red herring. PRESIDENT Truman, mean- while, is recognizing that the army seem to know how to get along with the Soviets, without losing their shirts, better than our timid and confused diplo mats. He chose Gen. Marshall to go to China to get Chiang into a peace with the commu nists; and now he has selected Gen. Eisenhower's chief of staff to be ambassador to Moscow, instead of a diplomat or a poli tician. Army men, by nature, should be more interested in results than in the political ideas of Justice for this and that, which have so confused our diplomats in recent years. (Latest example: Joe Davies, who thinks Russian spying, on Canada justified, but no doubt would cry out against any Canadian spying on Russia, whereas any realist knows all nations have always spied on all others and always will.) THHIS new reliance on army realism is the most hopeful development in . American for eign policy, in contrast to these childish but pompous accumula tions of vaporous generalities the state department plans to put out under the claim that they are great state pronounce ments. I mean it is most import ant, if a recent pronouncement by Mrs. Roosevelt does not out measure it. Mrs. Roosevelt has been rec ognized as a spokesman for the class-thought which pressured Byrnes into the appeasement policy, causing him to retreat from his resistance established at the London council of foreign ministers last summer. She has counseled a giving policy and believed realism to be red-baiting. But to the American sol dier in Germany, after a little personal experience in dealing with Russia herself at UNO, she gave this formula for treating with communists: Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do. This is substantially the coun sel you have read in this spot for a couple of years.
