Britain and Russia were very nearly destroyed and America was very nearly left to face alone a victorious coalition in Europe and Asia. The lines of policy which kept us divided in 1939, 1940 and 1941 were therefore profoundly wrong. These lines of policy must be al tered if we are to remain united to maintain the peace which fol lows this war. The American line is known as our government could take no dip isolation, and it has meant that measures to defend American se lomatic measures except verbal curity until we were actually at tacked. Our enemies could arm, could form hostile alliances against us, could seize strategic positions from which to attack us, could vanquish our natural allies and still — under isolationism — the United States government could only utter words and make ges tures. This is the fatally false prin ciple of diplomacy which the Ful bright and Connally resolutions are designed to renounce and discard. But the British and the Russians have also had their own brand of isolationism, as deeply rooted as ours in their traditions, which they have now to renounce and to dis _A The British brand of isolation ism is known by another name: it is known as the doctrine of the balance of power. It served the British reasonably well in the 18th and 19th centuries, just as our isolationism served us reasonably well until this century. The British doctrine of the bal ance of power consisted in oppos ing the strongest military power in Europe by supporting the other military powers of Europe. This policy did not prevent war. But against Spain, France and Ger many it enabled Britain to win eventually the great v. ars she had to fight. The ultimate justification of the policy lay in the fact that first Spain, then France and then Ger many, were so close to the British Isles, that if they became supeme on the Continent they could dominate and starve and de stroy Britain. In 1918, however, when France was no longer a very great power and Germany was prostrate, the doctring of the bal ance of power no longer served British interest. There was no very great power within striking distance of the British Isles. Nev ertheless, the doctrine continued to shape, though confusedly, Brit ish foreign policy. Thus in t h e ’20s, Britain tended to encourage the restoration of German power in order to balance the apparent and temporary military ascendan cy of France. This was, as the event showed, a fatal mistake aris ing out of the old habits of British dmlomacv. Then when Germany’s military power revived in the ’30s under Hitler—Britain having refused to prevent its revival—the obsolete habit of the balance of power led the predecessors of Mr. Churchill tc hope that German aggression could be deflected toward the east, that is toward Russia. This was the inner meaning, as the Russians saw it, of the British appeasement of Hitler, and it led inexorably to the terrible failure to reach an agreement with Russia in the fate ful summer of 1939. The failure to reach an agreement with Russia in 1939 meant that Britain had to begin the war on the Continent with only Poland and France as her allies. Britain is now, as a result not of her diplomacy but of Hitler’s actions, the ally of Russia. But the continuance of this alliance, after Hitler is finished, depends on Brit ain’s part upon how clearly and consistently she renounces the doc time of the balance of power. For Russia will be the strongest con tinental state, and if Britain has not abandoned the doctrine of the balance of power, she cannot re main the ally of Russia. The Russian policy between the two great wars has proved to be nc less unsound than American iso lationism and the British doctrirne of the balance of power. It was founded originally on the enormous error of promoting and counting upon a world revolution directed from Moscow, which automatically made practically every state an enemy of Russia, and at the same time upon strategic isolation, which meant that in a war Russia would have many enemies and no de pendable allies. Later on—under Stalin—while continuing to support Communist parties abroad, the Russian government did earnestly experiment with collective securi ty at Geneva.

C. State college Monday to make final plans for launching the “food fights for freedom” piogram in North Carolina, Chairman G. T. Scott of the State War Board said today. LENOIR, Nov. 3—W—Edward R. Larkin, 55, a member of a party on a deer hunt, was acci dentally shot and killed yesterday. aroused by the Communist agita tion rendered impossible any con fident dealing with Russia in main taining the peace. Still later on. that is to say after Munich, the Russian policy was nothing more than a frantic at tempt to buy ime o prepare, and to gain strategic advantages, for tne inevitable war with Germany and Japan. Only the supreme val or of the Red armies and the in credible exertions of the Russian people saved the Soviets from the tempt to buy time to prepare, and Stalingrad — losses which would have meant their defeat and their destruction. Thus Russia, too. has to alter her policy radically — renouncing revolutionary intervention abroad and discarding the policy of stra tegic isolation. If then, the Moscow conference is successful, in the sense that it portends a continuing collaboration by Bitain, Russia, and Ameica, and thus by all the United Nations, the success at Moscow will be due S to the fact that all these powers i have moved away from their ' pre-war theories of how to conduct ; their foreign policy. r ~. Negro Is Apprehended On Burglary Charges Frank Sumpter, Negro, is in the county jail, booked on a charge of vagrancy, but remains a sus pect in connection with a break in at 1207 Princess street, early Wednesday morning. Sumpter’s bond has been fixed at $1,000, and his case is sched uled to be called in Recorder’s court Saturday. According to police records, E. L. Bohannon of the Princess street address, was awakened in the night by screams of his daughter, who reported that a man was crawling through her bedroom window. Moulding on the screen had been pulled off, wire pulled loose, and the screen unhooked, investigation showed. Footprints were found on the ground under the window. Three soldiers told police offi cers W. J. Millis and E. P. Her ring that they had heard a woman scream, and had seen a Negro run from the house west on Prin cess toward 11th street. They gave chase, but failed to catch the man. They described him as wearing a sleeveless sweater, brown pants and blue shirt. H. P. Langston, taxi-driver, di rected police to 1122 Rankin street, where Sumpter was picked up. His clothing answered very nearly the description the soldier witnesses had given. A shoe taken from his room fitted neatly into tracks found under the Bohannon window, even to the impression of three iron taps. the speedy comfort you can get by promptly using Penetro Nose Drops when stuffy, sniffles of colds have you feeling down.

(AdvJ I Italian War Prisoners To Aid Local Industry The employment of 320 Italian war prisoners, now being held at the Camp Butner internment camp, in fertilizer plants and for pulp wood production in and near Wilmington has been approved by the Fourth Service command of Atlanta, it was learned here Wed nesday in a telephone conversa tion with Col. William S. Pritch ard, of Fort Bragg, North Caro lina district internal security offi cer. The Italians will be sent to Wil mington at an early date, prob ably this week, Colonel Pritchard said. To be under control and guard ed by the United States Army, the war prisoners will be interned in a temporary prisoner of war camp to be established by the Army in the vicinity of Wilming ton. Colonel Pritchard explained that the government consented to the use of prisoners as laborers in the Wilmington area only at the re quest of local industries, .and after Felix A. Scroggs, manager of the U. S. Employment Service of the War Manpower Commission, cer tified to the Army that no labor was available in Wilmington or vicinity to do this essential work. The Army made its approval following investigation, which was brought on after Governor Brough ton made the request for use of war prisoners at the instigation of state pulp wood producers Colonel Pritchard emphasized that the prisoners of war are not to take jobs of local persons but are being sent here to meet a temporary emergency. As soon as the emergency is over they will be withdrawn. All wages paid by fertilizer and pulp wood dealers for their work will go to the United States gov ernment, he said, and the prison ers will only draw the prescribed 80 cents a day, as approved by the Geneva convention agreement of 1929. The prisoners will be furnished the same type of living quarters and Army rations as enlisted men of the U. S. Army.__ Its flavor Fresh coffee tastes bet ter.
