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.
