i i 4' THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1946. PAGE THREE ft 7 . LOOKING AT WASHINGTON By HUGO S. SIMS, Washington Correspondent 'Capper Wants Eisenhower For 1948 ' . 'i .

I he reason is not hard to - find.

Mnrarinll fnrmor Chiaf nf ; Staff, as a candidate for the Presi- aency out not mucn nas been said about air or naval leaders. It may be readily admitted that both Gen. Eis- enhower and Gen. Marshall possess unusual ability and that they have exhibited superior qualities of leader ship but, so far, little is known of their views on political issues. To Test Atomic Bombs On Obsolete U. S. Warships The test of the newly discovered atomic bomb upon obsolete American naval vessels will give us an idea of the destructive power of the devastat ing force at sea. It is a smart move to make such an experiment. Every nation will eag erly watch for the great event, des tined to reveal the possibility that warships are outmoded by the power ful explosive and disintegrating power of the atomic bomb. Obviously, the warships used will be subjected to direct hits, without any attempt to set up a defense or to em ploy evasive tactics. Consequently, the bombing will not be exactly like what would happen in real warfare, uui mere is a uisunct cnance mat valuable information will be obtained. Foreign Ministers Face Task Of Seeking Unity It is very important that the for eign ministers of the three big nations get together, if possible, on world af fairs but we must not lose sight of the fact that agreement can be blocked by one nation. , Admittedly the United States and Great Britain have pulled close to gether in recent months while the drift from Russia has been pro nounced. This does not mean, in our opinion, that the English-speaking peoples should give up everything in order to have amity and kind words HERTFORD OIL CO. Hertford, N C. PHONE 3641 from Russia. We have always expressed our sym pathy with the development of free dom inside the Soviet and the belief that the Russians will work for peace. However, it is possible that the way to a permanent understanding and a just settlement of vexatious questions requires that there be some differ ences of opinion at this time. It may be, although we doubt it, that the Russians have decided upon a nationalistic, isolationist and im perialistic program. If so, there is nothing that the United States and Great Britain can do in the way of reconciling divergent views and it will be up to the Russians to show their hand. This might lead to a clash be tween the three powers, which would be bad, but not as bad as the abject surrender of democratic ideals to the Soviet. U. S. Senators Deserve Thanks Of Americans The United States Senate, by a 65-7 vote, passed legislation to authorize! full active participation by the United States in the United Nations Organ ization. It is interesting to observe that the San Francisco Charter was ratified 89-2 last July. The opposition, there fore, increased by five votes and the advocates of international cooperation dropped 24 votes. Just why only 72 Senators voted is not clear. The final showdown came when the Senators defeated 65-9 an amend ment to require the President to ob tain specific Congressional authoriza tion before he could use American armed forces to carry out a mandate of the Security Council in an effort to halt aggression or maintain peace. The vote in the Senate indicates that opponents of international coop- erati0n hav e not gained many adher ents, although it appears that their attack has lessened the ardor of some Senators to support our participation in the United Nations Organization. Nothing else explains the 24 Senators who voted for the San Francisco Charter ratification but have failed to support the bill to implement our co operation. Leaders Expected Japan To Start War In 1941 The Congressional committee in vestigating the Pearl Harbor disaster has developed the fact that President Roosevelt, eleven days before the sneak attack, warned our High Com-1 missioner to the Philippines that a Japanese aggressive movement was I taking form and that it might "cause' Q n,,hi, r it:i:: .1.1 yfL uuotiiikica ucLwtren tilt; United States and Japan." In addition, the committee has an affidavit from General MacArthur, dated Mav. 194H. statino- t.W. tfc Wr Department sent him ample informa- tion" before December 7th for alert ing nis rnmppine command on a war basis." In addition, the Philippine commander stated that he received, through the Navy, some of the inter cepted Japanese communications, which, as a matter of security, were not given to commanders in Hawaii. Says U. S. Must Sell Its Objectives Abroad While "Americans know that our in ternational policy is based on the same democratic principles on which our country was founded and is neith er one of economic or political im perialism," Ambassador Jefferson Caf fery, now stationed at Paris, points out that this is not always recognized in foreign countries. Mr. Caffery suggests that "we must not assume that other people take this for granted" and we must "work constantly to see that our real aims and objectives are understood." This is a timely utterance, indicating the basic task before the diplomats who represent this nation abroad. In fact, it is the fundamental pur pose of diplomacy, if nations want peace. Every nation's motives are suspected by the people of other lands, who can only judge policies by incidents and events which affect there Therefore, in the interest of peace, it is essential that there be no failure to promulgate the principles upon which this nation depends. If the effort, is to succeed there must be evidence in facts and deeds to support the protestation of ideals and principles. Mere words will not ac complish the task. Past Events Demonstrate Democracies Slow To Arm Ernest Bevin, Foreign Minister of (irpflt Krifmn nrhn vannnH.. r... 1 a world assembly of elected renresen . -. , ...IV . lvviilij auvwaiCU tatlves from cnonpratintr not inn a n rrr sueiresta that th "commnn Ki allowed to vote in the 'W1H nrii.l ment" on whether he wanted to go to war. The idea is theoretically sound and will become established at some future date but until world conditions change considerably it is dangerous. As we have repeatedly said, the peril of a democracy is not that it will make ag gressive warfare but that its people will fail to sense approaching danger from aggressors. Let us consider the United States and the course of this nation when the Axis powers were patently lining up for world conquest. It may be assum ed, we think, that the average intelli-1 gence in this country will measure up to the average of the . various con stituencies that Mr. Bevin would let vote on whether to go to war. What happened in this country? Well, the Air was filled with the cla mor of those who were against all preparedness because "nobody would attack the United States." The clamor oi partisans or tne various European ; factions drowned out the counsel of wise men who saw a threat to this na tion. The situation was further mud- died by well-meaning religious and educational leaders who were pacifists, first, last and all the time, and ready to disarm despite the increasing arm ing of others. Would the people of the United States, prior to Pearl Harbor, have voted for adequate national defense, if it involved compulsory military training, higher taxes for armament and inconvenience as they gave up peace-time goods? Frankly, we have our doubts. The vote of Congress, one month before Pearl Harbor, when only one vote saved the draft act, il lustrates the point. No intelligent man who reads the stories that come from Nuernburg can doubt the intention of Hitler and his stooges as to world conquest, nor the brutality which they were willing to use upon helpless people to control the earth. That the program included an eventual attack upon this country is plain, as of today, but not many of our political leader saw it clearly. Let us consider what is going on in the world today. Having won a great war, the Allied powers face certain onerous duties in connection with making permanent the gains of their triumph. This requires the policing of enemy countries, the maintenance of order throughout the world and the erection of safeguards against new aggressions. What is the attitude of the average American? It is to get his boy home, to have every peace-time convenience and to forget the responsibility that cannot lx ignored without inviting an other conflagration. If the people voted today on the question of draft ing soldiers for service in Japan and Germany, how do you think the ballot ing would result ? SNOW HILL NEWS Mr. and Mrs. (I. W.
