Russ Reject U. N. Berlin Proposal;
Stalin Hits Three Western Powers
As Attempting to Start a New War

DIFFERENT COAL STRIKE . . . French troops in battle array march
into the Villlers mine in the St. Etienne area of France as the govern
ment seized strike-bound coal mines throughout northern France.
Vicious rioting and assorted civil battles preceded the government's
action in taking over the mines.
REJECTION:
U. N. Proposal
Russia wouldn't play- ball with
the United Nations on the settle
ment of the Berlin dispute.
A six-power "face-saving" reso
lution for solving the crisis was
presented to the Ü. N. security
council and promptly batted down
by the Soviets—to the surprise of
no one concerned.
THE RESOLUTION proposed
that Russia lift the Berlin block
ade immediately; that the four
military governors of Germany
begin immediate negotiations to
implement the Moscow agreement
of August 30 for a Soviet-backed,
four-power controlled mark in Ber
lin by November 20, and that a
foreign ministers' council be con
vened within 10 days thereafter to
take up other serious differences
over Germany.
Russia's stated objection to the
resolution was that it provided for
the lifting of the blockade before
the currency control went into
effect.
Previously, the western powers
had turned down Andrei Vishin
sky's counter proposal for simul
taneous lifting of the blockade and
putting into effect the currency
agreement.
ference upon which the latest
deadlock centered was a minor
one, but it served to illustrate the
vast gap that must be closed be
fore a meeting of minds between
the East and West can be achieved.
MOREOVER, it has become in
creasingly clear that Moscow does
not even have any desire to lift
the blockade. It is. for them, too
good a weapon with which to at
tempt to bludgeon the U. S. and
the West into granting them fur
ther concessions in Germany, in
cluding a voice in the operation
of the all-valuable Ruhr industrial
area.
STALIN TALKS:
' Horrors'
In what is probably the most
amazing outburst he has made
s nee the war, Soviet Premier
Josef Stalin told the world that the
U S., Great Britain and France
are seeking a new war through a
"policy of aggression."
The accusation, despite the high
level of its source, amounted to
nothing more than a repetition of
the already stereotyped Russian
practice of attempting to turn an
opponent's reasoning back on him.
HOWEVER, he added, the "pub
lic forces favoring peace" are too
strong to permit "the instigators of
a new war" to plunge the world
again into the "horrors" of con
flict.
Stalin named Winston Churchill
as "the main instigator of a new
war" and predicted that Church
ill's "pupils of aggression" would
be rejected by the people just as
Churchill has been.
Although he did not label Presi
dent Truman or any other leader
as a "pupil in aggression," the
implication was too clear to be
mistaken, particularly since the
Moscow radio had broadcast a pre
diction that Mr. Truman would be
defeated on November 2.
STALIN accused the U. S. and
Britain of twice rejecting settle
ments of the Berlin crisis with
Russia and said that debate on
the Berlin question in the U. N.
security council "was a display of
aggression on the part of Anglo
American and French ruling cir
cles."
The British and Americans, the
Soviet
"null and void"
reached in the Kremlin confer
ences August 30 that would have
said, declared
an agreement

Toothaches are old-fashioned.
That is the opinion of Dr. John C.

lifted the Soviet blockade and
ended the crisis.
HE CHARGED that the western
powers fear "most of all" to reach
any agreement with the Soviet
Union.
"What they want is not agree
ment and cooperation, but talk
about agreement and coopera
tion, so as to put the blame on the
U. S. S. R. by preventing agree
ment, and to 'prove' that coopera
tion is impossible."
Stalin's statement obviously was
issued as a high-powered propa
ganda stroke—a move the Rus
sians undoubtedly hoped would tip
the Berlin scales in their favor.

BLUFFING:
In Berlin
Gen. H. H. Arnold, wartime com
mander-in-chief of the U. S. air
forces, turned up in the news with
a military man's hearty opinion
about what to do with the Russians
in Berlin.
"WHY NOT take a motor convoy
and push it through the corridor to
Berlin?" he suggested. "Perhaps
we might have learned something
from Gen. George Patton's tech
nique. If Patton were running the
show he would take it through."
Russia, he claimed, is attempt
ing a tremendous bluff against the
U. S. and the western allies, but
is "not ready to fight, doesn't want
to fight and won't fight" if some
one should call her bluff.
WHAT would the Russians do if
an armed convoy did plow through
the blockade? "Not much, if any
thing," was Arnold's laconic esti
mate.
"It would be a grave and basic
error to let the Communists bluff
us out in the present deadlock in
Germany.
" ney are not ready to fight and
they do not want to fight. We should
curb the national tendency to be in
awe of the Russians, an awe
amounting almost to fear.
"TIME plays with the Russians.
We have the superior power now.
They may have it later. Meantime,
it would be folly to let them bridge
the gap by bluff alone."
Whether he was right or wrong.
Hap Arnold at least had done the
worrying U. S. public one favor:
By reducing the problem to hard,
simple terms of pure action and
divorcing it from the intricate
realm of diplomacy he made it ap
pear more understandable, less
overwhelming and less frighten
ing. General Arnold, at least, isn't
expecting a war tomorrow.
TREATY:
On the Way?
In view of the existing physical
and ideological rift which has di
vided the world into two opposing
battalions, it has come to seem
almost inevitable that the western
bloc sooner or later would devise
some kind of formal military
treaty for the mutual protection
of the nations concerned.
AND A few days before the elec
tion word began to creep out from
among "high American sources"
that a military treaty was on the
way.
The report was that drafting
was scheduled to begin soon of an
agreement pledging full aid to the
five-nation Brussels alliance of
western Europe. Results of the
U. S. election were in no way sup
posed to affect the plan, since
both major parties had committed
themselves in principle to backing
the Brussels alliance.
SUCH AN alliance supposedly
will link the United States and
Canada in formal treaty relation
ships with Britain. France, Bel
gium, Holland and Luxembourg.
From a behind-the-scenes stand
point. this will not be a new move.
It is highly probable, indeed, that
the broad outlines of a north At
lantic pact—with some details
sketched in—has been in existence
tor some time.
The alliance is expected to com
mit the U. S. and Canada to:
1. BUILD up air, land and sea
forces of the Brussels powers.
2. STANDARDIZE equipment and
training.
3. CREATE a seven-nation uni
fled military strategic command
under an American commander-in
chief.
4. PLEDGE a guarantee of each
nation's territorial integrity in case
of war,
5. GIVE the North American
powers the right to establish air,
land or sea bases in any of the
five other countries.
U. S. officials expect that the
treaty will be ready for ratifica
tion by the middle of 1949, barring
extraordinary events. How con
gress will react to such a treaty
is, for the time being, a debatable
question.
