Today and Tomorrow
-By WALTER LIPPMANN
I he meeting ot the Allied lead
eis will be a council of war and
it will also be a conference to fix
what are known in international
law as the "preliminaries of
peace.” The success of the meet
ing will depend in no small de
gree upon whether the President,
who has neglected the task of de
veloping an instructed American
opinion, is able to concentrate on
the great and essential objectives
of the meeting.
This will not be possible if the
first things that must come first
become generally forgotten here at
home, and the second things, which
can be achieved only after t h e
first, are made the criteria of his
success. When, for example, Mr.
Mark Sullivan writes that "w'ifh
the military phase practically set
tled, the ideological one becomes
paramount,” he is, I venture to
thing, confusing first things and
second things and jeopardizing
both the military and the ideologi
cal settlement.
• • •
This meeting is a council of war
because in fact the military phase
i? by no means practically settled,
it is not settled at all in the Pa
cific. It is far from settled in Eur
I cpe.
No one has reason to assume,
as Mr. Sullivan's remarks imply,
that the Soviet advance is the con
cluding military campaign of the
European war. It might conceiv
ably be, but in elementary pru
dence we must assume that the
Red Army now, like the western
armies in France last summer,
will have to pause somewhere and
that the Germans will then gain
time to organize their defenses. In
. that event, Europe will be a the
ater of war for a considerable time
to come, and the liberated coun
tries of the west, the east and of
the soutfi, will be the bases in
f.hich the final assault upon Ger
many has to be mounted.
All the “ideological” problems of
these countries will be worked out
in a situation where, the necessi
ties and the limitations of war will
control provisional governments,
relief, rehabilitation, the purge of
Quislings and fifth columnists. The
paramount factor in the affairs of
the liberated countries will be the
effort to mobilize their resources,
their facilities, and their man pow
er against Germany; their internal
problems will reflect the limitation
of our capacity to provide them
with supplies to meet the terrible
r.eeds of their people. It is sheer
illusion to suppose that the ideolo
gy of their eventual form of gov
ernment can be separated neatly
from the great practical issuer
arising from the fact that the lib
erated countries are enmeshed in
a war which is not yet concluded.
* * *
Moreover, even if the present
campaign is the final campaign of
the German war. the military
phase will not be "practically set
tled” until the Allied armies meet
on German soil and have settled
the manner in which they will dis
arm Germany and keep her de
militarized. It is here that our own
ideologists can do infinite harm to
our own ideology and to our na
tional interests. If they act in the
theory that it is now more impor
tant to resist the Russian ideology
than to make sure that Germany
is demilitarized, they will fail to
do either.
For the ground on which the
western countries are in agree
ment with the Soviet Union is the
demilitarization of Germany. This
is tlieif common objective — to
make themselves secure against a
third German war of aggression—
and only by achieving this objec
tive, only in achieving it, can they
make certain that no secondary
conflicts of interest will divide
them.
* * *
Once we become diverted from
this objective, and make opposi
tion to the Soviet ideological in
fluence in eastern Europe our
main concern, we are preparing
the rupture of the alliance. In plain
words, if Britian and the United
States begins to erect ideo
logical barriers instead of concen
trating on the demilitarization of
Germany, the Soviet Union will re
act much more quickly and ef
fectively than we can or shall. If
the Soviets have any reason to
think—perhaps from reading arti
cles in our press—that in 1945 we
have any notion of using Germany
as an ideological barrier as we
did in 1919, they will take ideo
logical control of Germany and we
shall not be able to stop them.
This would, of course, destroy
the chances of a peace settlement,
for that settlement depends upon
the chance that the Soviet system
and the western, both having been
saved from conquest and extermi
nation, will come to rest in the
common task of dealing finally
with German aggression. That will
not be the settled and final peace
we yearn for but it will be the
only possible preliminary to such
a peace, for unless we agree with
the Soviets about the demilitariza
tion of Germany, we shall become
fatally divided from them ovei
Germany. We shall then be facing
a new opponent before we have
settled with our pressnt enemy.
V * •
In measuring the success of the
A.llied meeting we must bear clear
ly in mind that the “military
phase” of the Japanese war is no
•practically settled.” Since s<
large a part or the Japanese powei
is on the mainland of Asia, a con
elusive victory over Japan is dif
ficult to conceive without the inter
vention of the Soviets in collabora
lion with the western powers ant
with China. If we let our polic;
in Europe be one of ideologica
conflict with the Soviet Union, wi
must not be astounded if Moscov
concludes that she will preoccup;
herself with the conflict in Europi
while we carry the whole burdei
of the Japanse w'ar.
In that event there will never be
a world organization on the Dum
barton Oaks plan. For it is evi
dent that a world organization o
security cannot be brought into ex
istence under the leadership of th
five great powers if the war i
not won by all five of them a
fighting allies. That is the ultimati
reason why the meeting of the A1
lied leaders will be successful onl;
if the American people keep thei
minds fixed on the primary ob
jectives of the war, which are ti
defeat and demilitarize both ou:
enemies.
Then, but only then when thi:
primary objective is achieved, on
ly when the foundation of militar;
security is firm, can we procee(
to our ultimate objectives—to all&;
the misery, to restore hope, am
gradually to re-establish law ant
order in which freedom can flour
ish.

BUTNER SCHEDULED
FOR DEER REFUGE
RALEIGH, Jan. 24.—{/?)— The
40,000-acre camp Butner military
reservation is to be stocked with
deer under agreement reached re
cently between the War Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment, Game Commissioner Hinton
James announced today.
Thus another large block of Pied
mont counties which have not had
deer hunting for a generation, once
more may be populated by the
whLe-tails. Some months ago, a
similar project was started in re
cently acquired Uwharrie refuge.
And if the experience on the Fort
Bragg military reservation is a
criterion, James says, the Butner
area eventually may support one
of the finest deer herds in the
State.
The program, a Federal aid
Pittman - Robertson project, will
start this year with es ablishment
of around 25 deer on the reserva
tion, with additional deer later.
Military authorities have agreed
to close the area to deer hunting
for a period of at least five years
After investigating the area,
Frank Eatman, Pittman-Robertson
co-ordinator for North Carolina, de
clared it to be “excellent”, not
only for deer,, but for other game.
