It seems to us the best of signs that easy optimism has
become a very scarce commodity at San Francisco. A few excitable souls have from the start alternated between hope and
despair. The general observer is learning to ignore the day by
day grist of surface maneuver and turn to fundamentals and
the long pull.
There is room for both encouragement and alarm in such
a perspective. The mechanisms of security are likely to be served well by the conference; after necessary weeks of debate
and dispute, a sound charter seems almost certain to emerge.
To the extent that a document and an organization can advance the cause of peace, San Francisco can hardly fail.
But the effectiveness of that organization is another matter. We think that Americans are learning the hard way how
utterly dependent upon’the realities of national attitudes is
the concept of world union. If San Francisco did nothing else,
for example, than make our people sense the nature of the
Russian outlook it would perform an invaluable service. If we
can become realists about the Soviets, their tactics and their
_aims, and act thereon, we can do more for the peace of the
world than by any other route.
Let us start with the tactics. In a general way, Americans
have known that the Soviets were difficult to deal with. Their
behavior in negotiation almost follows a pattern—a __ threephase routine. Our agents in Moscom have become all to
familiar with it. The first phase would be devoted to friendliness and sense. The second would turn suddenly to grimness.
The third—if there was a third—saw a return to civility and
accord. >
Why the second phase? The Russians are great horsetraders; perhaps they think to gain by shock and surprise. But
the answer can hardly be so simple. The attack is delivered
with a gusto that suggests a practical_joke. It has seemed to
some observers that Soviet diplomats took delight in waiting
till everything was caefully arranged—the table set and the
tea poured—and then pulling the,rug out from under the
whole proceeding. Probably the real reason for the tactic stems
from sources that are hard for Americans to fathom since they
exist only under a dictatorship. We would do best. therefore,
to concede at once that we do not understand ruthlessness in
Russian behavior whether it is exhibited ir diplomacy or in the
graver matters of political action. We do not like it in either
case. It should be part of our realism to say so—bluntly.
But having done so we should do our utmost to continue
to work with the Russians. That is,the other half of any realistic effort to keep the peace of the world. It may fail. The Russian people are plainly going through a period of unpredictable growth and change. Our best efforts will not necessarily
succeed. But what has become unmistakable at San Francisco
is the fact that Americans are the one people who are close
enough to the Russians—in character, in outlook, in basic
problems, to achieve a solid friendship with them.
This is no new or romantic invention. It is a part-of history. From the birth of the American republic the two nations
have had bonds of understanding. Americans have, at times,
disliked Russian governments; they have always liked the
Russian people. We have spoken of their sense of humor.
Their character shares with ours a sense of spaciousness. Today more than ever, as they progress eastward across _ their
great frontiers their development parallels our own frontier
days. Their swift advance into industrialism brings another
factor of resemblance.
We have spoken of sources of misunderstanding. Americans could. and should do much more than they are doing
to comprehend the Soviet republics. Therg is here an especial
opportunity for our younger generations to learn the Russian
language, to make themselves expert, by study and by contact
with the facts of Slavonic institutions. Obviously, we should
seek to break down Russian isolationism while increasing our
own ability to understand.
. There can be no question of the power of Russia. The
fate of the world depends upon her decisions equally with
htose of the United States. We count it a fortunate chance for
the world that these two great peoples hold such possibilities
of friendship. We speak of romantic pretense of understanding where none exists. We urge only straight talk between
strong peoples who by nature and experience have much in
common and who for generations have liked each other—New

In their eletion, the people of Northern California might
well pause and ask themselves: What has been the cost?
The cost to the United States can be counted in the loss of
seventy five $1,000,000 superfortresses by
alone.
enemy action
Millions and millions of dollars already have been spent
to make possible these gigantic raids. Millions and millions
more will have to be spent to keep them goin.
And those bombings are just one phase of the effort that
will be needed to knock Japan out of the war.
How much will it cost, in terms of dollars, to land in
China, to transport and supply our army there, to maintain the
greatest Navy in the world’s history?
e answer is war bonds, and more bonds.
The Mighty Seventh War Loan Drive is now in its fourth
week. Only three more weeks of the greatest money raising
effort in history remains.
Indications are that every Northern California citizen will
have to step up his or her bond selling activities if quotas are
to be reached.
Every person in every home in every community must
meet the challenge. There can be no backsliding.

The navy has found, too that a lot
of publications the men do not want
still are being sent overseas to them.
Servicemen now are required to make
a written request for a new subscription or renewal of subscription to
‘any publication.

increase in the volume of mail passto the ships.at sea and the far away
naval bases of the Pacific ocean. In
a recent week, for example, the fleet
post office dispatched 6832 pouches
of mail to men overseas, but in the
same week of 1944 the volume of
mail amounted only to a little over
2000 pouches.
Oddly enough, navy mail statistics
show, that the volume of mail addressed to any particular area increases at a greater. rate than the increase ih personnel on duty in that
area, so with the focal point of the
‘war now solely pointing to the Pacific it is anticipated that ‘the San
Francisco fleet post office will be
called upon to perform a statistically staggering job in getting letters
from home on their way to the men
at sea. But the navy, fully aware of
the morale value. of mail from home
for sailors who have been away many
weary, battle filled months, will get
the mail to its men.
At present, navy airplanes bound
for the islands of the Pacific, carry
tons of air mail to overseas points,
but naval officials again urged both
public and servicemen to use V-mail
as much as possible in carrying an
their correspondence. V-mail enjoys
the highest air priority because it is
handy to tronsport and does the job
og keeping home folk and_ service

One thing the navy hopes the publie will do toward helping. it deliver
