WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street,N.W., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C.—"America has no foreign policy”! That is one of the bromides which has always been popular among critics of govern* know on what the remark is based. If we haven’t any foreign policy to day, then many hundreds of thou sands of words have been ex pended in com ment on nothing While the re cent Byrnes-Wal lace controversy was raging 1 ■■■■■■ spent many hours Baukhage trying to find out what our foreign policy toward Rus sia was supposed to be, and if so, why. I shall report as nearly as I can what I have heard. The report will not be in the formal language of diplomacy, in which, we have been told, words are used to con ceal thoughts. I report it, com pressed, of course, but as nearly as possible in the phraseology used by gentlemen who ought to know what they are talking about. We start with the not-too-startling revelation that American negotia tions with Russia are complicated and difficult. They are complicated because it appears the approach must be made along two separate paths, each lead ing to a separate Russian group. They are difficult because there are unusual obstacles put in the way of the diplomat, especially our representatives in Moscow; ob stacles which, I am assured, must be encountered at close quarters to be appreciated. The two groups, since neither is homogeneous nor closely identifi able, might better be referred to as two elements. One comprises that great indefinable and inarticulate body, roughly classified as "the Russian people.” Americans who have spent some time in Russia and who have enjoyed such contact as Is permitted with the Russian peo ple, say they are devoted to their country with a Spartan loyalty, sen sitive to its shortcomings, proud of its achievements. Many in this grqup, especially those who have met Americans, like us. All want to know more about us. For example, they de vour the big, propaganda, picture magazine "Amerika” printed In their language and distributed by our embassy. Formerly we distrib uted 35,000 copies. Later we were permitted to increase the printing to 50,000 copies. It is estimated that a hundred Russians read each copy of Amerika; it is black-market ed at a high price and read to tat ters. This group admires and respects mechanical know-how, our indus tries, our technical skills. Officially there has been no propaganda to cry down American achievement in -A. the production fields, but rather ex hortations to emulate and surpass us. Soviet Official* Hate America The other Russian element which we have to consider and with which we deal directly is composed of the leaders, the party bureaucrats, the secret police. They hate America with an almost incredible hatred. Their attitude is so extreme that it does not seem real; it appears to be prompted by a policy, rather than a normal, human, emotional reaction. If either of these two elements existed alone it would be simpler to establish a line of procedure. But, my informant points out, each ele ment requires a separate and dif ferent approach, since the two con tradict each other. Because the only visible hope for an understanding with Russia de pends on the semi-friendly group, nothing must be said or done in our relations with the other (now in power) which would make it seem that we are building a wall against Russia. That impression would al ienate any potential sympathy the semi-friendly ones might feel for us. This dual approach was exempli fied by the Byrnes speech calling for the unification of Germany, un der a single government, with all four occupying countries acting to gether as co-directors of the whole. Byrnes made the proposal inclusive. Russia would participate equally with the rest The intention of the United States was firmly stated. There would be union of British and Americans, presumably the French, and the Russians too, if they con sented. If the Russians refused, the United States would go ahead with the plan but it would not slam the door on Russia. We are to be friendly but we must be firm. That is what makes nego tiations so difficult. To convince the “haters” we mean what we say, the United States must state its de cisions firmly and emphatically, out line exactly what we will do and will not do; what we will permit Russia to do and not do. Our firmness has to depend on our words. We cannot use force, be cause we have not the force avail able to use. This, however, does not mean we cannot succeed, because I am op timistically assured the Russians are weaker than we are. Although their military forces on the con tinent of Europe are stronger than those of the Allies, it is believed that the Russians lack the econom ic, physical or moral strength to en gage in a major war and they know that in the long run the rest of the world can develop a greater power. Politically they have not the in fluence, either, to risk withdrawal from the United Nations. They know they could not take a suffi cient number of other nations out with them and thus, withdrawal would mean ostracism and threats from the rest of the world. This the Russians know as well as we do. X X Evolution of Typewriter Continues If there had been a word-count ing device on my typewriter, I would not be writing this end-piece now. But it is just as well authors haven't adopted these wordometers or they might find their thoughts be ing regimented. The typewriter has already ad vanced far in its evolution. There is now a typewriter for the Chinese with their 5,400 (believe-it-or-not) characters. It is a product of the miracle working International Busi ness Machines corporation. But it is no miracle for IBM which built a gadget used at the Nuernberg tri als whose dial we could twist to produce with equal fluency. English, French, Russian or German, re gardless of what language was be ing spoken. Of course human be ings — lightning translators — are cogs in its works. The Nuernberg trials lasted too long as it was—but they would have lasted four times as long, if it hadn't been for IBM. I understand a typewriter is be ing perfected into which you talk and which obligingly types the words you speak with no manual effort on your part. How. I wonder, would this recording typewriter spell: If you spell the word “house" on the ordi nary keyboard it comes out that way, h-o-u-s-e. But if the machine operated by sound, “house", de pending on where the speaker was born, might come out "ha-ows”; "idea” might appear as "idear’\ For my part 1 should be very hap py if a gadget were invented which would spell better than my type writer can or even if the gadget would produce a synonym now and then after I had repeated the same shopworn word three times. • • • American air force men are teach ing German youngsters to sing “The Star Spangled Banner" in laborious German translation.

In Johns Hopkins hospi tal, Baltimore, where he submitted to a sight-saving operation, nine year-old Juliano Cabbia, known during the war as ‘‘The General” to several American fighting divisions which adopted him, said he hoped the children of Feltre, especially 60 orphans, would be given aid. Now back in Italy, Juliano, still wearing his army uniform, is the hero of his village. NEWS REVIEW Strife Rages in Greece; More War Profits Bared GREECE: Civil Strife King George II of Greece faced no happy return to his homeland as open civil war raged in the moun tainous northwestern border region and the Red-dominated Albanian and Yugoslav governments were charged with actively aiding the rebels. Premier Constantin Tsaldaris bluntly attributed the strife to Rus sian efforts to tighten their grip on the Near East. Said he: “It is as clear as noon-day that this is . . . for the benefit of those who aim to take advantage of our troubles with a view of securing an outlet to the Aegean sea.’’ As a last resort. 40,000 British troops ensconsed in Greece were be ing readied for intervention in the dispute if the government forces failed to check the left-wing upris ing. With the country occupying a strategic position near the Darda nelles and Suez canal, Britain and Russia have been waging a bitter diplomatic war for control—the British to protect their lifeline to the East, the Russians to weaken their rivals and to extend their own dominance over the rich area, SHIPBUILDERS: Probe War Profits Figures, figures and more figures featured the house merchant ma rine committee’s investigation of wartime shipbuilding profits, with these prominent facts emerging aft er the mathematical smoke had cleared away: 1.

Failure of the accounting of fice to include renegotiation and taxes resulted in its estimate that New England Shipbuilding corpo ration had made a 11V4 million dol lar profit instead of approximately 1% million. LABOR: Defy Injunction Always jealous of its right to strike to enforce wage and other de mands, organized labor presented a united front against a county court’s anti-strike injunction against the In dependent Association of Employees of Duquesne Light company in Pittsburgh, Pa. In issuing the injunction, the three-judge court heeded the city solicitor’s plea to act in the public interest in preventing a costly pow er strike. Though the order later was dissolved when the solicitor de clared that it had served to force a resumption of bargaining between the disputants, IAE members re mained adamant about returning to work as long as it stayed in effect. Apprehensive of the no-strike and no-picketing features of the injunc tion, AFL and CIO unions support ed the IAE walkout Labor charged that the court order was in violation of both the state and federal anti injunction laws and there was no law requiring men to work against their wish. MEAT: Dems Differ Heightening of the meat crisis found Democratic leaders at odds over the retention of controls, with President Truman calling for con tinuation of regulations and other party heads favoring a relaxation, if necessary. Declaring there was a shortage but no famine in meat, Mr. Truman looked to a fall run of grass-fed cat tle to relieve the nation-wide scarc ity. Attributing the current shortage to heavy livestock marketings dur ing the recent suspension of OPA, the President asserted that removal of controls now would add to diffi culties later. Mr. Truman spoke shortly after the Democratic national executive committee took cognizance of the meat situation and instructed Chair man Hannegan to discuss higher prices, decontrol or other remedial measures with government authori ties. The committee’s action came close upon Democratic House Lead er McCormack’s plea for a 60 day suspension of meat control. STILL SOARING All Debt in U.S. Shows Increase WASHINGTON. — Total privates and public debt in the United States climbed 35 billion 400 million dollars in 1945 to reach a record figure of 400 billion 500 million dollars, it is revealed in a department of com merce report.
