Today And Tomorrow
By WALTER LIPPMANN
Though money for radio broad
casts and printing is needed so
t4u the voice of America may be
b’eard in foreign lands, our great
est need is to have something ctefi
he clear, and convincing for that
foie- to say. There will be little
opposition m -Congress to an ap
propriation if it were not for the
feeling that the men who conduct
our propaganda have side to do
f ith the making of our policy, and
,",at the sales department of the
government is. so to speak, writ
fae advertisements about goods
f0° which the production engineers
rave just begun to maxe the first
blueprints.
^ for the customers abroad,
jj,ey are undoubtedly confused
an£j suspicious, partly no doubt be
cause the rival firm misrepresents
us but chiefly because we sound
60 hot and bothered when, as a
reat power, they expect us to be
coo) and definite. Mr. Benton's
difficulties with Congress and with
the opposition abroad will aimin
jflj when his chief, Secretary
,ja.shall, has had time to form
jr.d to organize a concrete Ameri
can program for the settlement of
the war.
The elements of such i program
have. I believe, gradually emer
ged from the vast and intricate
debates, and c a n be formulated
n0,v as the basis for further dis
cussion. They could, I think, be
jtated in some such way as this:
1 The division of the world into
two great coalitions—one with its
center in Moscow and the other
with its center in Washington—is
on1 apparent. The world cannot
be divided in this way. The coa
litions cannot be organized. The
nations of Europe will resist the
idea that they are the satellites
#f the two non-European great
powers and that their continent
is the predestined theater of a So
viet-American conflict. In so far
as the "Truman Doctrine’’ con
sciously or unconsciously treats
Europe in this fashion, it is an
obstacle to the making of peace
and is destructive of American in
fluence on the making of peace.
* * *
2. The revival of Europe under
fte leadership of Great Eritain
and France, now the principal
European, powers, is necessary.
There can be no German settle
ment except within the frame
work of a European settlement.
The political and economic unifi
cation of Germany is neither pos
sible nor safe except within the
framework of a European eco
nomic union, and of enough Euro
pean poiiticc.1 union to provide
the primary guaranties ol the
German settlement. The ’Kussian
and American guaranties of Ger
man good behavior will nave to
be secondary to the European
guaranty.
3. Though in the end the unity
ol Europe must comprehend the
hole of Europe, a partial unity
is better than none at all. The
unity of western Europe alone
cannot be self-supporting and sol
vent. it will require artificial sup
port from the Western Hemis
phere, principally from the United
states. But if the support is given
On conditions which promote and
induce unification, the partial
union 01 Western Europe will ex
ert immense attraction upon
eastern Europe.
* * *
4. These considerations enable
us to state the definite terms upon
which we could propose to settle
the Soviet-American conflict. Our
object is the revival of Europe as
an independent power in the
world. To attain this object we
shall have to provide the equiva
lent of lend-l=ase for a term of
years as the necessary working
capital, obtainable nowhere else,
for a European economic union.
The Russian contribution will
have to be the military evacua
tion, simultaneously with a Brit
ish, French, and American mili
tarv evacuation, of the Continent.
The armies must go home, leaving
behind them only token forces in
Germany and at sensitive and un
settled points such as Trieste and
the Greek frontier. The military
evacuation of Europe would have
to be followed by agreement that
a European states may enter the
European economic union.
In return for that, we could af
ford to finance some German rep
aration payments, and to provide
some credits, to the Soviets.
In the Middle East we should
propose a new treaty covering the
Dardanelles, the borders of
Greece and Turkey, the port of
Salcniki, and the oil concessions
of Iran.
Such a settlement is, I believe,
ultimately attainable because it
reflects the actual balance of
power, which neither can alter
radically, between the Soviet
Union and the United States. The
Red Army is deep into Europe.
The settlement calls for its with
drawal to the frontiers cf the
Soviet Union. We cannot compel
it to withdraw. On the other hand,
wt can prevent it from advancing
farther because of our ability to
strike at the vital centers of
Russia. The settlement would rec
ognize the military deadlock.
To this settlement the United
States would contribute financial
support, lgrge by peace-time
standards but insignificant by
war-time standards. This assist

very hard to misrepresent, and
