THE League or Nations wus a beautiful concept. The TROUBLE with It was that we became lost In admiration of tilts beautiful thing wo had concolved and did nothing further about it. We thought world peaco was hero because we had mndo an entrancing plcturo of it to LOOK AT. MUCH blood has been shed since then. Much NEED LESS blood. The world has been swept by terror and sorrow and agony. NEEDLESS terror and sorrow and agony. Tho agonies wo liavo endured have saddened us and MADE US WISER.

While no concrete develop ments are expected before the impending "Big Three" meeting, its is believed in Ankara that Turkey will sound out opinion in both Washington and London in the meantime. It is expected that Foreign Minister Hasan Saka may stop off in Britain for talks with Prime Minister Chur chill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden en route home from the San Francisco security conference. Few developments affecting Turkey since the start of the European war have stirred Ankara so much as the rumors which have been current for the past 48 hours. While official quarters have remained silent, it is possible to state on reliable authority: During discussions prelimi nary to negotation of a new Turkish-Russian pact of friend ship and non-aggression in Mos cow, the Russians raised for dis cussion the questions of the pro prietorship of the northeastern Turkish province of Kars and the possibility of making changes in the Montreux convention which would givo the soviet union a favored spot with respect tc control of the Dardanelles.

Truman Warns World Charter Only First Step Toward Peace Br JOHN F. CHESTER ' SAN FRANCISCO, June 27 (fP) President Truman sent weary authors of the new world charter homeward the world around today with stern admonition that "if we should falter in the future in our wljl to use it, millions now living will surely die." Addressing the glittering closing sesiion of the world security conference, the chief executive pounded repeatedly late yesterday on the theme that the drafting of the charter was only a first step. Gesticulating, he declared, "the world must now use it." "The time for action is now," Mr. Truman asserted. "Let us, therefore, each in his own nation and according to its own way seek immediate approval of this charter and make it a living thing. "I shall send this charter to the United States unite at one. I am sure that the overwhelming country ana oi tneir represei- tatives in tne senate is in lavor of Immediate ratification. The president was interrupt ed frequently By the applause of delegates from all SO of the United Nations. One of the loud est bursts came from the seats of the smaller nations nations which in some instances had claimed the new instrument gave too much power to the larger countries when he de clared: "We all have to recognize no matter how great our strength that we must deny ourselves the license to, do al ways as we please. No one na tion, no regional group, can or should expect any special privi lege which harms any other na tion. If any nation would keep security tor itself, it must be ready and willing - to share se curity with all. That is the price which each nation will have to pay for world peace. "And what a reasonable price it is. "Out of this conflict have come powerful military nations, now fully trained and equipped for war. But they have no right to dominate the world. It is rather the duty of these power ful nations to assume the re sponsibility for leadership to ward a world oi peace. Mr. Truman praised the dele gates for the job they had done in creating "a great instrument for peace and security and hu man progress in the world." But he conceded that "no one claims that it is now a final or a perfect instrument." Like the American constitution, he said, it would have to be "expanded and improved as time goes on." Idle Workers Mark In Labor Troubles By The Associated Press The number of idle workers caused by strikes and work stop pages throughout the country edged toward the 100,000 mark today. . - . , . . In Washington, eovernment labor aKencies expressed anxi ety over the mounting number of strikes. In Detroit, the idle hit a new high for 1943, as more than 50.000 men and wom en stayed from their jobs be cause of various labor disputes. The latest count for the nation was more than 90,000. "Tragic Folly" As the total idle continued to grow steadily, a CIO union offi cial in Detroit described the se ries of controversies in the motor city "tragic folly." Today's es timated 90,000 out on strikes and stoppages nearly doubled murai code on June 22 four days after Lt. Gen. Simon Boli var Buckner Jr., commanding the 10th army, was killed by an enemy artillery shell. Rejects Appeal Several days before, Ushijima had rejected Buckner's. appeal to accept honorable surrender. By the thousand, however, other Japanese officers and men have been giving up. The story of the hara kiri ceremony was told by a Japa nese prisoner who said he had been a cook for General Ushi jima. - His story:' ' ' . ;..

One Bright Spot The only bright spot along the labor front was in Chicago where the-11-day old walkout of some 6000 truck drivers appar ently had ended. More than 2000 members of the Indepen dent Chicago Truck Drivers un ion last night voted to "return to work, joining approximately 8000 members of the AFL In ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters who are back on their jobs. After the government seized the . 1700 . truck lines to break the strike, which stemmed from a war labor board wage-hour de cision, soldiers were called in to drive and guard the trucks. In returning to work, the drivers accepted a $4.08 increase for a 51-hour week. They had de manded a $5 weekly hike for a 48-hour week.
