ONLY op ape PER .MONTH NEVADA CITY =a T NUGGET GRASS VALLEY A TWICE-A-WEEK NEWSPAPER MONDAY AND THURSDAY ~ cere aaa aa —— Vol. 20, No. 85 The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY-GRASS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA THINKING OUT . LOUD By H. M. oe The president has spoken again, this time before the United Nations delegates. This time his voice was not a fresh breeze right off the KanSas prarie. In fact it was a good talk in line with American majority sentiment and conviction as regards foreign policy. but we think it was a composite of what the best minds advising the president could devise in the way of allaying world fears of another war. We note in the news that Molotov spokesman for Stalin, and for Stalin only, warmly commended Mr. Truman on his address for peace. We think Molotov is entirely guided bv the desires of Stalin in matters of arranging the post war world. We donlbt if the Russian workers have many ideas about Russian foreign ,, Affairs, and know of a certainty they could not express them, if they did. As a diplomlatwe think Molotoy did the right thing. It is polite of the foreign minister of Russia, to find that the president of the United States has voiced the strong hope for peace that prevails. in the world, and in that respect parallels the recent utterances of Stalin. We confess however, we shall be more convinced that the president’s talk is effective, when Molotov places the Russian foreign policy on a multilateral rather than a unilateral basis, We have to bear in mind that Molotov is the voice of Stalin. He is a servant, serving a hard master, a master who came to the top by suppressing all opposition in much the same way'as Hitler suppressed ovposition. He converted a_ minority into majority by the murder route, for Russian and German purges ‘search since have exactly the same character. . We are willing to admit quite freely that the Russian worker is better off today than he was thirty years ago. His new masters are coneerned more with accumulating power. His old masters under the czarist regime were mainly concerned, as we read the Russian novels, with accumulating pelf. They lived laxuriantly and happily over a smoldering volcano that blew its top. We can well understand that a people sometimes reduced to suckling their babies at the teats of the master’s farrowing pigs, feel greatly uplifted under a government which sees to it that they are given shelter, clothes and food in return for their work. The success and the durble qualities of the Russian armies in.the late war. was not an accident. They were properly trained, clothed, fed and led—vital matterg that the ezars neglected. We have to remember when we deal with the Russians that we are dealing with a two per cent minority of a population, the communists, @ud reducing the percentage still lower, we come to the political bureau which consists of nine men, and those nine, owing their place of power to Stalin, donbtless never oppose him. So we came to the conclusion that we deal with Stalin alone. One man with absolute power and intelligence, sinister or otherwise can be a much better diplomat than a nation of 150 millions. The Russians were pleased with Henry Wallace talk in Madison Square arden, because first it suited their Purposes, and second because it again revealed the world the weakmess of a democracy, in which every “@itizen has a siay-so in government policy, renee ae ,We think the Russians will continue to applaud Henry Wallace. He has come to California, to rescue, if he can at this late hour, the CIOPAIC candidates for congress who would probably cause great rejoicing in Moscow, if elected. It is almost a certainty that Stalin’s idea. ef a peaceful world springs from the kind of peace he has established in Russia. Henry Wallace, like Chamberlain, late prime minister of Great Britain believes in appeasement, though he doesn’t call it by that mame. As an American the probably pushes the thought of war away over . seen the failure of the Wallace philthe horizon and hopes prayerfully. osophy in world affairs. This is a that something will happen to avert. cruel world for Pollyannas. . 'STILL MISSING {from Soda Springs.

It is the result of having -lived nationally for much more than a century without foreign invasions, and ~winning all the wars we were reluctantly pushed into. But. the Henry Wallace ophy, we firmly believe, is now to be discarded, if we are really to survive. We must be prepared for the worst if we do not win, as Russia is trying to win, by diplomiatic means. We regard Stalin as a dictator, more benevolently disposed toward his countrymen at least, than the late Hitler, but nevertheless just as danphilosgerous to the worlg peace. We have mnriority purchases, a service it has giving since last May.
