The gods are certainly cooking a mess of pot tage that even the Europeans will find difficulty in swallowing. Eeven before victory is won, the big three are in disagreement over the situation in Greece, where the communists and anti-com munists are attempting to fight, with Britain trying to control the reds. As a result the state department of the United States has reprimand ed John Bull for interferring in the politics of occupied or nazi-freed countries and has emp hasized its “hands o ff” policy in such matters, but Great Britain tenaciously clings to her pur pose. Stalin has said nothing about the Greek em- broglio, although he naturally is interested in trouble involving communists, especially in a country that he considers within his sphere of influence. Although fighting has not broken out, the situation is bad in (Poland, France, Belgium, Italy and perhaps other countries. The concensus in this country seems to be that a world-wide police force will be necessary to maintain peace for a few years after the end of the war. How is the United States’ polciy of refusing to interfere with selection of leaders in the various countries going to stand up before the anticipated demand for-a police system? The people of Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy and other countries selected their own leaders— and we are helping to pay the bill in blood and money. It looks like a ruthless policeman or a lot of education is going to be required to extinguish the fires of war that forever burn in Europe and perhaps it may take both. The policeman may be necessary for a while because the education may not “take” before the people are ready for anotJipr war. -------------------------------------------------- 1 ----------------------------------------------- ert, who are employed In defense ------- i work In coast cities, spent several Announcements have been rece- days at their home here, lved of the marriage of Jesse Ross j B 8 o ra n t of Portland called on Johnston sergeant In the United friends here during the past week States army air forces, and Miss and attended to his ranch Interests.
