Lett Is Right The French, to whom we are in debted for our political designations of left and right, seem to have scrap ped these symbols pretty thoroughly in their recent elections. For the three parties which won the majority of votes are all to the left. Yet the com munists, traditionally the leftest of the leftist parties, lost out apparently be-cause-of their rightist tendencies. For if right means restriction as well -as reaction, coercion as well as conservatism, then the French comrnu-nist-'iarty is well to the right of the Al. li(.;P., which superceded it, and the socialists, who ran third. And the bulkVpf French voters didn't want what the radical right had to offer. France is the cradle of European liberty. It was a Frenchman who saidj' ''I wholly disapprove of what you say but will defend to the death your, raght to say it." And it is obvi ous .".that Frenchmen, even though weary, hungry, and dispirited after a disgracing defeat and four years of bondage, did not forget that heritage. The sentiment of the French today is clearly for socialism. But with their program of advanced socialism, the comnaiinists also offered a program in which democracy and individual liber ty played no part. They did not offer this openly. But the stamp of the Mos cow pattern was in the communists' hands, read' to be applied to the coun try in the event of victory. Jlie time might have seemed ripe for communist victory in France. TheVlast days of the prewar republic had not been glorious ones. The war's end had brought much bitterness and discouragement. Demands for a new broom" might have been expected. 'Yet even so, the French tradition triumphed. For that tradition is com pletely opposed to a tradition in which th$ state is all and the individual a Futservient component. ;?Miat it did so is a heavy blow to Euio"pean communism. Russian com munism has never had to stand the teJt of a free vote by the Russian peo ple But elsewhere, Russian-model communism has had to submit to com petition with other systems of govern meVi.and to the choice of free peo-pli'-in free elections. None of these elections has been so important as the test in France. Foi France, with her size, strength, industry, culture, past glories and promises of future eminence, is still the heaffcraf the European community of nation; Her repudiation of the re strit&Ve "democratic dictatorship" of communism cannot fail to have a pro found-effect on coming events in Eu rope'arid the world. KERRY- 6 w bps v n mum . - E UKJttV FEARS OI? WASHINGTON Elder statesman Bernard M. Barueh has worked out a formula for hand ling the atom bomb which may resolve other international problems. He hopes, by his form ula, to persuade the Russians to drop their veto power over every step the United Nations tries to make. This has been the greatest single handicap to future world peace. Earuch plans to propose that the atom be placed under an L.ter-national committee provided no member of that committee shall have a veto. Decisions must be made by ma jority vote. Since the Russians are beside themselves with eagerness to be a member of any commit tee condoling the atom, they probably will ac cept tins non-veto provision. If so, Baiuch hopes to use it as a precedent to show tr.e .Russians tnat cue veto power should be dropped in regard to all U N prob lems.

Messenger Boy Steitinius U. S. newspapers referred to Soviet enccy Gromyko as a -Moscow messenger boy whose hands were tied in the Kremlin. This was true. However, we also had a messenger boy of our . own at the United Natione, Ed. Stettir.ius which was one reason he resigned. Stettinius wasn't allowed to make a move without getting directions from Washington, and on more important occasions Secretary of State Byrnes carried the ball himself. He did not trust the handsome Mr. Stettinius. At one point, Stettinius asked the State De partment to place him in command of all American diplomats attached to the United Nations, including Bernard Baruch's atomic eneigy committee and John Winant's social and economic council. The State Department refused. Stetti.iius also had strict orders not to make statements, not even open his mouth without orders from Washington. For some time, Stettinius had been flirting with the Harry Byrd machine to run for senat or from Virginia. So, a few days after Senator Carter Glass drew his last breath, Ed resigned. Note Though Stettinius left the UN partly to avoid taking orders from someone else, friends- are wondering whether he hasn't jumped from the frying pan into the fire. The notorious Byrd machine is equally good at giv ing orders and expects them to be carried out. Capital Chaff President Truman's new flying White House is a shiny, double-decker, custom-built DC-6.
