U. N. Converts Modern War Plant Into Peace Factory 'u ;- By BAUKHAGE. Newt Analyu and Commentator. WWB Service, 1(1* Eye Street, n.W., ? Washington, D. c. Lake success, n. y ?At this writing, committees of the United .till meeting in the great modernistic factory building, now converted into a plant tor the manufacture of international good will. A hun dred committee meetings are be ing held in the rooma where once the delicate machinery turn ing out instru ments of warfare nnr* KiimmaH merrily and efficiently. Here delegates to the assembly of the United Nations, split up into groups, tackle the various subjects allotted to them just as the com mittees of congress discuss the bills and agree upon their form before they are submitted to the "commit tee of the whole house" for con sideration and action. The difference is that the assem bly, unlike congress, cannot pass laws, it can only express the will of the majority. Its value is to register, before the world, world opinion as expressed by the nations which make up the United Nations. This Is the 4rst step toward a world govern ment whose chief purpose is to po lice the world against war. While the committee meetings were taking place the security coun cil, which compares roughly with the senaW, held some of its meetings in the same building, for unlike the as sembly, which meets only once a year, the security council is a con tinuing body. The Council of Foreign Ministers, which also is meeting in New York, is a body entirely separate from the United Nations. ? e ? Baokhaf* Saddl, U. S. With V. N. Expenses It vu characteristic of the desire to maintain a "realistic" attitude (let ns hope) whioh resulted in the emphasis on fiscal matters, causing newspapers on the first day's com mittee meetings to display a head like this;. , 0. S. OPPOSES y*' FATING HALF OF V. N.'s BILLS At the meeting of the budgetary committee, Senator Vandenberg got in a sly dig whan he suggested that if the other nations (alt the Amer ican economic system was so good that it could put up hglf the money to run the organization perhaps they might adopt a similar system. Capi talist America would Day 49.89 -oer cent of U? N/s bills while Communist Russia, although much greater in size and population, would provide 6 per cent in the plan submitted. Of course, any amount balanced against the price at war is-Small. ... ? ? ? Powerful Committee* Are inrth* Making The work of We committee! of Um asacsnbly covers a wide scope, eince besides offering the sounding board for world opinion and con trolling the pursestrlngs of the whole ,organisation, the committees Uka wise supervise the several impor tant subsidiary agencies, some of Which will become extremely pow erful when and ft they carry out the duties planned for them. For instance, the many plans for im proving living standards and social relations throughout the world, which is the purpose of the econom ic and social council, end the project ed trusteeship council which will oversee the relationship between the dependent countries and the nations held responsible for their control and welfare. Another important fimctioa of the assembly is initiating amendments ?to the charter, and this session bris -tled with talk among the smaller countries for amending provisions governing the power of the veto in security council. ? ? ? Raeeimn. Vie to Lot Maude Early tn the meetinge of the gen eral committee (the steering com mittee) and in the assembly itself. It became evident that the Russians I were following a general plan of pro cedure which was not unlike that which bad appeared and still Is ap pearing in all the controversies. The Russian delegates frequently oppose violently1 a point sad then, when they see that thiajr ere beaten, yield. Sometimes this looks like pure ob structionism ; sometimes it seems merely an effort to display strength and combativeness, sometimes it is only s patent move to keep Russis in the forefront of the negotiations as a force with which to be reckoned. There is also the language barrier. Probably there are no more com petent performers among the vari ous types of experts than the trans lators at these international gather ings. Much has been written of their remarkable ability to translate, with out taking a single note, long para graphs of some speakers who get so deep in their subjects that they for get that the translator is waiting patiently to translate one segment before the speaker goes on to the next. Prize of them all is Pavlov, the lean and scholarly looking young man who appears to wrap himself about Molotov or Vishinsky and with his lips close to the listener's ear pours in the words so rapidly that it would appear they synchronize with the movement of the speaker's lips. But even s perfect translation may produce a different meaning, just bs the same word may mean two different things in the same lan guage to two different pairs of ears. You may recall the famous Molo tov outburst at the opening of the assembly, the speech in which the Russian delegate demanded disarm ament, objected to the Baruch atom ic energy plan and went right down the line walloping everything in sight. As I remarked earlier, there was more smoke than Ore in that tirade and American Delegate Aus tin, suspecting as much, made the terse comment on the speech, "smart but tough." When the translations came beck from the report in the Russian press Austin's words became "smart but sharp." Now it may be that "tough" is a tougher word in Russian than it is in English because the Russians' or dinary conduct in such and some oth er matters, all the way from danc ing to breakfasting on vodka, may be what we would consider tougher than the Anglo-Saxon approach. ? ? ? American* Conscious Of Foreign Policy ?? ?> ? Most Americans do not realize how far this nation has gone in the establishment of a foreign policy built on popular desire. In the past, the foreign policy of the United States always had been a rather vague thing to people in general, something evolved behind a screen of formal phrases in the ancient high-ceilinged offices of the old state department building, where they still have marble fireplaces that really work in some of the rooms. In the early days the subject was kept out of domestic politics simply because the politicians knew that the people knew as little as they did as to what it was all about and didn't care any more. Then came the fa mous Wilson versus Lodge flght over the League of Nations, which was really something far deeper than that, a flght of two powerful person alities and two different concepts of government?not world government but domestic government Lodge and Wilson became so definitely committed to their own respective views that they couldn't afford to compromise. AftfP thikt airk nirtv mnai/4ap*^ It fair gam* to rip tha othar up tha back whan It came to a discussion on foreign a (Tain and the Una old tradi tion (which waa really a negative thing) "foreign affairs ends at the shore line," was split wide open. And than tha bloody conflict of World War n made people realize that Democratic and Republican blood when It flowed on the battle field was the same color and caused tha same gaping wounds at home. The campaign which we have Just witnessed, while It wss character ized with tha same old fuss and fury of tha past, omitted tha question of foreign policy except when It was raised by persons already discredit ed by both major parties. That is the hope, as I see It. for American dominance, for the domi nance of the American idea of hu man freedom. We have learned that when It comes to facing the world, we meet it shoulder to shoulder as Americans and nothing else. BARBS . . . by Baukhage - t ?. ~.

" r~ on HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF WASHINGTON. - II you think times are tough today, drop in at the public library and ask lor the back flies of any newspaper for the fail of 1919 or the early part of 1920. That period was just about as long after World War I as we now are from World War II and the headlines are amazingly similar. In fact, with the mere change of a few names, a glance at 1919-20 headlines would almost convince you that you were reading the news papers of today. We were having the same troubles with Russia then? only a little worse, with Ameri can troops In Siberia and Mur mansk. The northern Adriatic, as now, was the ehlef bone of contention at the Paris peace conference. Only it was Flume instead of Trieste which caused riots in the streets of Rome and Belgrade. * "Jews Massacred, Robbed by Poles," was another tragic but familiar headline. "Foresees Jewish state in Palestine. Judge Julian Mack tells of atrocities and asks for migration to Jewish home land." "Pershing denies large quantities of war goods destroyed in France." "Rep. Emerson offers resolution asking war department to what ex tent soldiers were overcharged in France." . . . "War department criticized for offering $1,000,000 worth of fabrics for sale at pub lic auction." . . . "Sergeants arrest ed in Paris charged with theft of American stores." When it came to strikes, race riots and soaring prices, the domestic scene of 1919 was even more alarming. Labor troubles caused far more blood shed. The alleged Communist menace was much worse. May day celebrations in Chicago, Cleveland, Boston and New York produced riots, "citizens' armies" and an untold number of skull and political fractures. By July 6, 1919, the army stood at 704,845, with 235,000 of these in Europe. Eight months later when the Junkers and German army seized power in Berlin, forcing the Ebert government to flee to Dres den, the American army of occupa tion totaled a nervous 18,000. Meanwhile, the war department was recommending a universal military training program of three months for all 18-year-olds?more or less as today. Unchecked by governmental pleas and voluntary programs, prices spiraled. Shoes were three times their prewar price and women's stockings were offered at "2?$25 a pair." Coffee prices jumped 7 cents a pound and, although the government declared 11 cents a pound a fair price for sugar, it was selling for 30 cents within a year. "Food now costs N. Y. residents 88 per cent more than six years ago," announced the New York Times. SV_1_ ? 1 ?v ? viuj a oauuau ouycrs strike" in 132#, with prominent society women feeding their families on a dollar a day while their trasbands were wearing overalls to their Broadway of fices, changed the trend. New York clergymen were mak ing a survey of churches in an at tempt to ease the housing short age. Headlines on August 16, 1919, don't seem out of place today. "Di rector General of Railroads Hlnes sees danger of ccal gouging. Cau tions senate that rumors on short age may pave way for price ad vance." . . . "Begin jailing Ger mans as war offenders." . . . "Amendments to food control act supported and fought before con gress committees." AD this and prohibition too. "Thousands return to Europe, blaming prohibition here." Not only were there strikes, but also there were tlie same, familiar strikes. Telegraph and telephone workers, maritime and a steel strike lasting into the fourth month. . . . Omaha faced a general strike. ... In the spring of 1919, 10,000 men were locked out of the Willys Overland plant in Toledo, a strike committee controlled Winnipeg and police were using machine guns in Connecticut strike riots. In the fall of 1919 a United Mine Workers' strike closed all bitumi nous coal mines and produced a news story headed "Lewis says mines' demands are 'subject to negotiation' ? puts blame on operators. ? No, history is just the same. His tory always repeats after a war. ? ? ? MERRY-GO-ROUND Gordon Clapp, who succeeds Da- . rid Lilienthal as head of TV A, haa been a thorn in the side of Job hungry Senator McKellar for years. Clapp believes in the revolutionary practice of raising a man from the ranks when he does a good Job, rather than handling McKellar polit ical plums. . . . Charles Bay, U.
