NO MORE DELAY It is perhaps useless to try to find the reason or to place the blame for the muddle that seems right now to exist in our handling of foreign affairs. Going back far enough it might be just to say that one reason is that for so long a time the State Department was under the nominal control of an elderly gentleman who was very ill and unable to perform the du ties of his office. The man who was actually in charge was the President, one who was never a good administrator apd who, in his conduct of foreign affairs, did not even attempt to stick to the usual channels. The department was never reorganized, as had been for so long intended, and the new secretaries he appointed were men young in the field and not capable of the great tasks in trusted to them. The negotiations were carried on by the President himself. Perhaps, given his opposing numbers, Churchill and Stalin, President Roosevelt was right in thinking that only his personal hand was adequate. But the risk to which this subjected his pol icies and the country, the risk that that hand might be with drawn, leaving us without its guidance or that of any other, was too great to have taken. The event has proved it. We are now, at a time when the conduct of foreign affairs is of paramount importance, without a state de partment or a secretary compe tent for the work in hand. Nec essary as it may have seemed, this one-man conduct of foreign affairs was a danger which should somehow have been avoided. We are now faced with the need to make immediate decisions on numberless vitally important questions. Apparently we are not ready to do so. The reader of the daily news and listener of the daily commentators is lost in a sea of confusion. And, so baffling is the news that it is hard to be lieve that our ministers who are attempting to cope with the situa tion itself are not equally at sea. Why, otherwise, should their moves appear to be so contradic tory? Why should we on the one hand, have insisted on the admis sion of Argentina to the United Nations and, on the other, criti cise Russia for attempting to ex tend her influence in the Bal kans? Why do we fuss continual ly over the eastern boundries of Germany while making no at tempt, as far as one can tell, to solve her western boundries? 'Why do we condemn Russia for want ing to protect herself by hanging on to the Baltic States and at the same time announce that we in tend to keep as our strategic bases islands in the Pacific thousands of miles away from us? These is lands are along the coasts of Russia and China; how can our claim to them be justified? Pres ident Truman suggested the in ternationalizing of European waterways; yet when it is sug gested that the Dardenelles be in ternationalized, we indignanUy back up Britain, in what would seem a most unfortunate move, to say the least. It would be well, before we al low ourselves to fall in with this game of making Rusia the villain of every scheme, to try to use a little common sense. In the in ternational scene, as in many an other, sauce for the goose can al so be sauce for the gander. Bar gaining is a two-way game; who ever starts it is going to have to play it to the hilt. It is a game that can only end with all the cards stacked in two opposing hands, with the players all set to start the cut-throat game again. This is not what the American people want; it is not what the war was fought for. This is not a time for delay; the stakes are too high, for they are the veri table stakes of life and death, as much now as they were those ^fatal' days hot long ago. A group of Americans realize this; undoubtedly many more are beginning to do so. This group headed by former Justice Roberts, have written a letter to the Pres ident asking him to propose a con stitutional amendment commit- federal government. In the face of the present dismay and confu sion such a proposition smacks of the fairy-land. Yet the men who advance it are nard-headed, intelligent, practical men, as well as great idealists. They have a purpose in bringing their petition before the President now. Per haps they do not believe that it will be acceded to, but it is evi dent that they are convinced that further delay is critically danger ous, that a move is in order, not tomorrow or next week, but right now. Now; when things are bad, growing worse; when the shadow of the atomic bomb hangs over the world like the sword of Dam ocles; now, when the daring of this great idea may catch the mind of man and fire it to this great accomplishment. The people of America, torn with a new anxiety, will watch with the utmost eagerness to see what these next few weeks will bring: what will be the answer of the President, what the actions of the men whom he has intrust ed with the negotiations now in progress, and, above all, what will be the temper of our country in the face of this perhaps its great est emergency, its greatest op portunity. This and That Did you turn your clock back last Saturday night? ■What has become of the plan for renumbering the houses of Southern Pines? A little fire and much smoke in the woods just above the town sign, located on the east side of the highway near the northern boundary of Southern Pines, brought out one company of the Fire Department at 3:30 Thurs day afternoon. Much to their sur prise, not to say annoyance, they were called to the same place at 5:30 p. m. The company answered a still alarm at 2:30 p. m. Saturday af ternoon, for a grass fire on Ridge Street near New, York Avenue. Man bites dog again. That is what some, as yet unknown, mis creant is going to think when Judge D. E. Bailey discovers just who got away with his car, last seen peacefully resting near the Seaboard depot, on the evening of the 26th. Mosquitoes were few and far between during the summer months, but with the advent of Fall they have descended in vor acious swarms. It will be good news to the many former patrons of the New England House that Mrs. J. F. Morris has decided to open her dining room once more. The House is now oppn, and she al ready has many bookings for the season. CARTHAGE Mr. and Mrs. Harold Martin of Greenville, S.
