EDITORIALS ON
NEWS

up In China's Chungking gov
ernment. THESE frequent shakeups
x sound like an indication of
Chungking's realization of !hj
seriousness of the situation. An
interesting censored slant is the
statement In today's dispatches
that Soong is supposed to be
more sympathetic with the Chi
ncso communists. One can't
help guessing that the commun
ist situation is tne sore spot in
China's affairs.
rUTSIDE the shooting war, the
weekend's most interesting
development Is a bloody ruckus
tnat has oroken out in ureecc.
It started Sunday, when LEFT
ISTS clashed In Athens with the
British-sponsored Greek police.
There were 21 deaths and 140
injuries (as so far reported.)
This morning a general strike
was ordered (presumably by the
leftists), and more or less all
services In Athens, including un
loading of food-relief ships, seem
to be paralyzed.
Martial law nas been declared.
BRITISH tanks and armed para
chute troopers arc patrolling tho
Streets. British and Greek (gov
ernment) planes are circling low
over the city. t t
AS in all these heavily-censored
POLITICAL warfare de
velopments, we have to do a
lot of guessing as to what is back
of It all.
So hero goes:
The British (whose policy re
quires a "sphere of influence"
in Greece) are backing the
flropU tfnvprnmpnt which In a
carry-over from the pre-war
monarcny. inc -leiusu uinown
In Greece as the EAM) are out
siders who want in. They ap
pear to be communist-minded.
There are slants in the news
that help to guide ua In our
guesswork.
The EAM battlecry. in the
ruckus is said to have been:
"Beans, lentils, but NO KING
only democracy!" Demonstra
tors -in Athens parade past the
ndllch mhitn, rnrrvinff Dis
cards reading: "British soldiers:

TF it were ALONE in Europe,
A this r.rnnU flare-un might not
be significant. But it ISN'T
alone. There have been similar

Belgium, Poland, Yugoslavia
and elsewhere even in France.
The Belgian troubles were espec
ially neavny censoreu, iuiu w
were given only the barest
glimpse of them.
They are significant because
they paint for us a plcture-of a
Europe that is seething with po
litical discontent and will, be
likely to BLOW UP when the
shooting war with the Germans
end5' . . .
IT is hard to escape the con
clusion that the government-in-exile
system, of which we
have heard something but by no
means all, is heavily involved
in this explosive situation. .
These govemments-ln-exile
are political efforts to CARRY
OVER the old regime in Europe.
It is easy to guess that .the people
in the countries concerned, who
have stayed at hortie and BORNE
THE - BRUNT of tha suffering
ON THE GROUND, don't want
the old regimes. ,
They want something better
something of their own choosing.
It is becoming probable that
they mean to have it OR ELSE,
PLEASE bear in mind that on
this writer's part this fs ALL
guesswork. Years of residence
In these countries would be
necessary in order', to KNOW.
Guesswork is excused . by the
fact that those who. know are
telling us little.
Anyway, it is becoming ob
vious that Europe isn't going to
be all sweetness and light the
day after, the war , ends. -

Grew Nominated As
Undersecretary
(Continued. from Page One)
during the time required to in
tegrate its work into the gov
ernmcnt's permanent structure
and to terminate its wartime
activities.
The 64-year-old Grew, in be
coming undersecretary,, returns
to a post he hem briefly 20
years ago. His tenure at that
time was only about four
months, but he has served two
score years in- the diplomatic
service. . : -
He has held two ambassador
ships to Turkey in 1927 and
to Japan in 1932, where he
served until the outbreak of
war. Following his repatriation
from Tokyo Grew was appoint
ed a special assistant to? Secre
tary Hull. Later lie. headed the
department's office of Far. East
ern affairs, his current, assign:
ment.
Boston-bom of wealthy par
ents. Grew was educated at
Groton and Harvard, as was
Mr. Roosevelt. He received his
first diplomatic post, as deputy
consul at Cairo in 1904, as the
direct result of a big-game
hunting . expedition. . President
Theodore Roosevelt, read Grew's
book based on that expedition,
"Sport and Travel in the Far
East," - and gave him the job,
at $600 a year.
In 1906 Grew was transferred
to Mexico City, spent a year
there and at St. Petersburg,
now Leningrad, and then went
to Berlin. He served in the
American embassies at Berlin
and Vienna, then after war
came, returned to the United
States as acting chief of the
state department's division of
western European affairs.
He attended the peace con
ference ss a secretary, later
served , as counsellor in Paris
and as minister in Brussels and
Bern.
Grew's nine years in Tokyo
provided a sharp contrast with
nis predecessors.- The 11 years
prior to 1932 saw see- ambassa

capital.
Mrs. Grew is the former Alice
