Complications Mark Soviet Approach
Friendly Russian Element
Holds Out Hope for Peace
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.
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.

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.

‘GENERAL’ REDEEMS PROMISE ... In Johns Hopkins hospi

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

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

rine committee’s investigation of
wartime shipbuilding profits, with
these prominent facts emerging aft

ing profits against losses of its Fon

showed a deficit of 13 million dol
lars on its wartime operations. An

used shipbuilding profits to pay off

2. The government’s general ac

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.
The increase last year, represent
ing the final war period, fell far be
low that of the record 62 billion dol
lar rise in 1944 when the war was
in full swing.
Main item in the increase was the
federal debt, which rose 42 billion
dollars last year. Offsetting this
gain, declines were reported in oth
er debt spheres.
Declines Noted.
Corporate short-term debt de
clined 8 billion, 800 million dollars
during 1945, totaling 46 billion. 500
million dollars at the end of the
year.
Other declines were listed as fol
lows: State and local govern
ment debt, 349 million dollars to
13 billion, 700 million dollars; long
term corporate debt, 950 million dol
lars to 39 billion 300 million dol
lars; farm mortgages, 190 million
dollars to 5 billion 100 million dol
lars for the lowest level since 1915.
Increases reported for the year
1945 included: Non-corporate urban
mortgage debt, up to 162 billion dol
lar*; short-term commercial and fi
nancial debt, up to 2 billion, 541 mil
lion dollars, and short-term consum
er debt, up to 957 million dollars.
Production Gains.
During the four-year war period
between 1941 and 1945 there was a
net increase in all debt from 202
billion 400 million dollars to 400 bil
lion 500 million dollars. During the
same period the gross national prod
uct—the total of goods and services
produced—rose from 120 billion dol
lars to 199 billion dollars.
The downward trend In farm
mortgage debt, which has been con
tinuous since the early 1920s, soon
may be halted, the department pre
dicts. In 1945, according to the sum
mary, farm mortgage debt in
creased in 20 states, compared with
increases in only eight states the
previous year.
