Liberal bround Swell Sweeping Over Europe Underground Coalesces Democratic Groups in Fight for Popular Government; Look to 'Big Three.' By BAUKHAGE Neus Analyst and Commentator UJVIfT e. 1 - - -*T_?? ? ? ? *- - niiu ocrvice, \union 1TUSI Building Washington, D. C. As the New Year approaches, Washington is preparing to experi ence the results of two titanic strug gles which will chart the course fol lowed by this nation and the world in the decades ahead. One contest will be witnessed on the floors of congress. The other in some unnamed spot where Presi dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, Marshal Stalin and per haps General De Gaulle will sit down and try to agree on details of the framework of an international or ganization for the maintenance of peace. The election was supposed to have settled the old issue of "isola tionism versus internationalism" but those terms were far too indefinite to delimit any lasting decisions and since November our allies have been strewing land-mines of doubt along the way, causing many cases of non-interventionist jitters in con gress. There will be debate in the senate flavored with remarks, the tenor of those which criticized the British course in Greece. As to the battle behind closed doors, you can imagine that the American viewpoint will need all the support the President can rally behind it, to overcome the tendency of Messrs. Churchill, Stalin and De Gaulle to fall into all the old bad habits of their happy power politics days. In order to understand the differ ences which have already arisen be tween those who support British armed intervention in Greece and those who support the state depart ment's action in protesting against it, it is necessary to take a look be hind the scenes and see what these forces are which are bound to shape the new governments of Eu rope as they are re-born after the period of democratic hibernation during Nazi-Fascist occupation or control. U. S. Favort Self Rale In the first place, there is a pow erful, liberal-oriented ground swell to be discerned everywhere if we look for it. It is the belief that, even tually, this force will dominate, which has prompted the American "hands-off" policy. Uncle Sam merely says: "Let the people of the various countries choose the form of government they want. Those who want democracy enough will get it if there is no outside interference." That is one thing to bear in mind. Another is that this ground swell, as I call it, is the result of many dif ferent factors ? not merely hun ger and discontent or faith and en lightenment; not only inspiration or desperation, but aspiration as well, aspiration toward the natural his torical and evolutionary goals of progress which are a part of man's eternal struggle for liberty. The reaction against Nazi tyranny and the successful resistance to German control in the form of the underground, generated certain forces toward freedom and inde pendence. The underground made its own laws, gave opportunity for the coalescence and strengthening of all democratic movements. It was natural when the Germans were driven out that these forces re fused to bow to representatives of any regime, no mattter how benefi cent, if it had about it even the slightest odor of sanctified feudal ism. It is necessary to get this premise firmly fixed in our minds or else fall into the error of writing off ev ery revolutionary movement as "communist," including some cer tainly no whit less virtuous than our own in 1776. It is well to study the France of today In this connection, and inter esting to note the comment which appeared in the French press at the time of the first revolts in Belgium and later in Greece where Allied support was given the government in power. The "Franc-Tireur," whose name indicates the "underground" flavor of its opinion, explains why, so far, France has had no such inter nal trouble. "It has been our great good for tune," It says, "to have a man to protect our honor and prepare the liberation, who had such character and personality that he is univer sally accepted, acclaimed and fol lowed by the entire nation as our leading member of the resistance." The last seven words are the important ones ? "as our leading member of the resistance." In other words, De Gaulle was able to lead his fellow countrymen into liberation without chaos because he had the approval of the most ac tive and most militantly democrat ic elements of the underground. New Spirit tn Greece Papandreou, premier of Greece during the revolt, with all his vir tues, was no De Gaulle in that re spect. I was reliably informed that Papandreou had expressed firm anti-monarchic sentime.nts, that he is, as he says, a democrat and a socialist, that he had a clean rec ord through the occupation. But? and what a "but" there is, judged by such standards as I imagine "Franc-Tireur" would hold up ? Papandreou was selected by the King with British consent. The mo tives back of his election may have been honest enough and practical enough from the standpoint of the old order. Here was a man with a good record who, it would seem, could reconcile the royalists and the leftists. But that formula itself violates the very principles of the new order, and when the left-wing ers began to feel that the cabinet was monarchist and British-made, thev .withdrew and their followers refused to give up their weapons. All armed groups in Greece not absorbed officially by the army ^ were ordered to turn in th?ir arms. The police, of course, did not turn in their arms and they were the same police who had helped the pre war Metaxas dictatorship, and later the Germans, "keep order." The "sacred battalion," a group com posed chiefly of former Greek offi cers who fought bravely beside the Allies al lthrough the African cam paign (and were charged with con taining a strong monarchist ele ment) was not disbanded but became a part of the army. Translate the above into terms of the French attitude and see how impossible acceptance of a Greek government such as that could be to groups thinking as the French resistance groups think. There is every reason to believe that the leftist movement in Greece and elsewhere in Europe, even where the majority of their leaders may be led by communists (as was not the case in Greece) is actually at heart a drive against tyranny and toward democracy. Here again it might be wise to examine some of the opinion ex pressed by Frenchmen now back ing the De Gaulle provisional gov ernment which is a product of the forces similar to those operating in other liberated countries. The leading editorial in the December issue of "Free France," that attractive and informative magazine published in New York by the French provisional government, gives the reasons for the change of attitude toward the French com munists as follows: 1. The French communist party joined the resistance movement and later gave its allegiance to De Gaulle's national committee. X The Comintern was dissolved. 3. The communists rendered in valuable aid to the resistance movement. 4. The striking collaboration of all French patriots in the underground struggle removed many prejudices, including the suspicion of "com munists sans patrie" (a political group with loyalty to no fatherland). The editors of Free France cau tiously state that it is too early to answer the important question: Have the French communists ac cepted democracy as it is under stood by the western democracies? Nevertheless, they note for the rec ord that so far "the communists helped to draw up the National Re sistance council program of Uarch, 1944, tacitly accepting the democrat ic principle" and "the abolition of private property is not listed among the immediate demands of the com munist party."

They are dressed so cunningly these days it would seem as if they had stepped right out from the colorfully illus trated pages of a story book. De signers who create such adorable clothes surely have a talent all their own. It is interesting to note the mate rials these designers favor most in fitting out little folks with pretty and practical clothes. If a vote were taken there is every reason to be lieve that corduroy would score first in favor with velveteen a close sec ond. Corduroy has a way of being sturdy and utilitarian with prac tically "no wear out about it" at the same time that it makes up beau tifully in dressy little frocks and coats. When it comes to hard wear, corduroy meets every test unfail ingly, and when it comes to fashion ing pretty-pretty dresses this win ter, it is proving a fabric ideal. The prestige of this practical as well as most attractive material has been greatly enhanced during the last several seasons with the introduction of an especially fine pin wale corduory called cordurella, which is voguish both for chil dren and grownups. You can see, centered above in the illustration, how prettily cordurella makes up into a cunning bolero suit with hat to match. It was a clever move or the part of the designer who took mother's and big sister's favorite fashion, the bolero suit, and copied it in miniature for little daughter. The tiny jacket ties at the neck and haj a beanie to match. The ensemble is trimmed in gay peasant flowers tc the delight of the youngster that wears it. Another type ot dress that should be In every little girl's wardrobe Is the Jumper. Youngsters love to wear their pretty jumper frocks of bright cordurella, and mothers like this fabric because it can be easily washed over and over again, com ing out as smart-looking as ever. With a change of blouse each day it gives variety, to the delight of the little wearer. Then too, it solves the what-to-wear to school and at-play problem so easily and simply. Ice cregm makes a party for most every little Miss, and so does a cun ning red velveteen dress, as pic tured to the left. Especially does it look "partyfled" when trimmed with dainty irish-type lace, as you see here. The nice thing about cotton velveteen is that while it is practi cal and comparatively inexpensive, it tunes perfectly to Sunday-best wear and to all sorts of important occasions in a child's life. Soft string bows, sweetheart neckline and puffed sleeves such as prettify this dress, are gay little details wee young ladies like. A cotton oxford cloth jumper dress is shown to the right. It is gaily trimmed in narrow bright embroi dered banding which outlines the bib effect and gives an extra fillip to the graceful simulated pinafore that is sewed in as a part of the dress. Cotton oxford cloth is attractive in any color, but in navy or wine, trimmed with gay embroidery it looks more than an ordinary wash dress. You can easily get inch-wide Mexican - embroidered buid trim ming which adds just the nght dash of color to the dress pictured, at lace or dress-trim counters. Since 1 peasant fashions are so popular, this : type of trim is appearing on both 1 dresses and sheer Mexican ? type ? blouses for youngsters. ! The young fry just love the new t checked taffeta that is being made ' up into sprightly little dresses. 1 They also like the gay plaid taffetas, ! for the rustle of taffeta is music to ' the ears of a little girl who likes 1: to feel dressed up. i Released Western Newspaper Union.
