Memo from
a friend
"Dear Standard of California!
"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

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. It comes
