'(Continued fro-a rage One)
:erference. This was pointed
ipfecifically at Britain's veto of
Jount Carlo Sforza as foreisn
minister in a new Italian govern-
Britain did not consult the
United States before blocking
the appointment. If it had done
10, indications are that the Unit
td States would have argued
vigorously against the action. ,
Problem Raised
For President Roosevelt and
Secretary Stettinius it raised the
nuestion: How far are they will
ing to back the policy with ac
tion? The answer may he in
specific cases rather than by
generalization, but at the outset
action is certain to be limited to
political persuasions.
As a matter of policy, how
ever, officials said that the ap
parent split with Britain would
not be permitted to become seri
ous and that Secretary Eden's
insistence on the British position
was not, in the circumstances,
unexpected here.
After -Italy, Greece is the first
specif ic- case which arises. The
feeling in official quarters here
is that., the situation has been
badly handled. On the one
hand it is 'believed that at the
moment the EAM resistance
groups have fallen under the
control ef a minority communist
leadership which would not give
the Greek people full freedom of
political" action.
On the other hand, authorities
believe that use of force by the
British probably could have
been' avoided and should now be
nded as quickly as possible in
the .interest of future good
Greek-British' relations. The
United States itself has no troops
in Greece, but officials are
working on the theory that
American interests in a peaceful
Europe are nonetheless immedi
ately involved.
It is recognized that for the
British the problem is acute.
Churchill and Stalin apparently
agreed that .Russia should keep
hands off Greece. But commun
. ist supremacy: in Greece, in view
of the way .the communists ad
here to Moscow foreign policy,
would effectively negative the
agreement.
American, officials apparently
are sympathetic with the Brit
ish. Their argument boils down
to the fact that they believe
forcible imposition of a govern
ment on a liberated country is
the . certain road to wide-open
power politics and more violent
conflict in Europe.

Supreme headquarters regard

forged this week. All along the

stout and thick Siegfried line.
Flood Bad
Flood conditions along the

Cologne were so bad that the
U. S. 9th army, along the stream,
failed in its first attempts to get
patrols to the other side. Near

miles from Cologne.
The first army gained a bit

edge of the Hurtgen forest with
in pistol shot of the Roer.
First army . infantry, with
strong artillery support, smash
ed three determined German
counterattacks in Bergstein
early today as the enemy strove
to regain the last high ground
short of the Roer in the section
six miles southwest of Duren.
The first drive, in battalion
strength, gained 1000 yards to
the outskirts of the village be
fore it was beaten back. The
second drive was beaten quickly
and the third, again in battalion
strength, precipitated a battle
that sec-sawed for an hour be

But, right or wrong, we've
GOT TO FINANCE IT. If we

do it the wrong way, For it
HAS TO BE DONE.
The right way is to do without
other things so we can have
PLENTY OF WEAPONS AND
MUNITIONS NOW. Every man
hour of labor used to produce
something else has to be TAKEN
AWAY from making materials

the British have needed AND
HAVE USED influential friends
throughout the world.
Out of the wreckage of this
greatest of wars, they are trying
to SAVE their ancient and fa
miliar system of influential
friends in high places through
out the world.
They want a FRIENDLY GOV
ERNMENT in Greece and they
are preparedto fight for it.
THE British may be wrong.
But they THINK THEY ARE
RIGHT that they are doing the
things that are ESSENTIAL to
their future welfare. They are
a tough and determined people,
and they NEVER hesitate to do
the thing that according to their
lights is the RIGHT THING FOR
THEM to do.
'
WHAT is said here today may
ha itnriitlv tnlerant. There
are grim times when too much
tolerance isn't a virtue.
But if were going to get
through with this war and make
a world afterward that people
can live in in some degree of
fieace and happiness, we're go
ne to have to exercise a LOT
OF TOLERANCE.
We might a well begin now.
