Secretary of State George Mar- 1 shalTs recent remarks before the j House foreign affairs committee were of exceptional interest. For the first time, a top official came out directly for a balance of power between the Soviet dominated part of the world and the west. In addi tion. the Secretary’s outlook for the future was somewhat more opti mistic than it has been on previous occasions. World conditions, he said, have reached bottom, and some im provement can be expected. General Marshall’s main purpose in appearing before the committee was to strongly oppose the proposal, now up for discussion in Congress, to change the United Nations or ganization and leave Russia out if she continues her obstructionist po licy. That, in his opinion, would ismply produce more cleavage in the worlcfc and greatly increase the danger of an international catastro phe. Then he added: “It is a mis conception to suppose that domina tion of the world by a single sys tem is inevitable. It is a miscon ception to suppose that differing systems cannot live side by side in peace under the basic rules of in ternational conduct prescribed by the United Nations." Finally, he described the U. N. as “an open door to communication between the east and the west." There may be a guide in this to the course of our foreign policy in the days to come. It is certainly true that a feeling is making the rounds that we and the Soviet Un ion can and must come to some sort of an agreement. This agreement This agreement would necessarily prescribe spheres of influence of both a political and an economic nature. It would be roughly com parable to the tacit arrangement that existed between England and Imperial Germany many years ago. In line with this, a number of quar ers >r now suggesting that it would be wise to arrange another conference of the heads of the ma jor powers. The fact that the previ ous conferences did almost nothing to promote the cause of peace does n’t prove thai another one would HERE'S WHERE TO EAT The Best of Food and Service for your money Breakfast — Lunch Regular Dinners Sandwiches of All Kinds Bar-B-Cue MILL & OAKLEY Where Everybody Eats Cor.

The ^ presidents and ministers and their advisors would have the enormous experience of the past two years to draw upon, and they’d be in a position to take a completely real istic view of their problems and differences. Still another section of General Marshall’s remarks deserve wide attention. He is aggressively in fav or of building up our military strength, and he has endorsed both peacetime selective service and universal military training. But. he said. "The emphasis often placed ! solely on the military aspects of j world affairs does a disservice to ; the cause of ponce ... The more ' that present differences are talked I about and treated exclusively as a military problem, the more they tend to become so." This would seem to indicate that the Secretary, who is one of the most distinguish ed professional soldiers in Ameri | can soldiers in American history, I is definitely concerned lest an ex cess of saber rattling lead to a j drawing of the blade. The danger that a real war hysteria might be fanned by loose talk and wild ru mors is too obvious to require dis cussion. It is perfectly clear that the “one world" ideal has been abandoned, at least for the time being—though many still feel that it must be the ultimate solution if errible wars are o be avoided. We are going to have two worlds, and we will lead one of them and Russia will lead the other. The great difficulty is to es tablish the line of demarcation. No one seriously believes that the So viet Union will surrender any of the gains she has made since the end of the war. But there is some reason to feci that she may be will ing to stop about where she is. A short time ago, it looked as if a Soviet drive clear to the Mediter ranean was in prospect, and if that had happened the chance of war would have been increased. Now that menace is nowhere near as mminent as it was. The most ex plosive spot on the globe is the Middle East, but, even there, it looks as if the trouble can be local ized, though no one has made any progress at all in figuring out how the Arabs and the Jews can be brought to terms. U. S. policy today isn’t a great deal different than Theodore Ro osevelt’s policy of “walk softly and rarry a big stick." The big stick is our preparedness program. But, at the same time, the olive branch is being held out to all the world. t__ . The Ohio primaries did exactly nothing to clarify the Republican presidential situation. Stassen did fairly well, but not well enough to ' aid impetus to his boom. And Taft’s showing was about the minimum he needed to keep him in the run ning as ohe of the leading contend- j ers. The fact that the campaign is j really a horse race is shown by the strength of the candidates in pledged convention votes. Of the 1.094 delegates who will go to convention, 770 have been chosen Dewey has 125, Stassen S3 and Taft 14. It takes 548 to nominate. So no one is anywhere near the win ner's circle yet.
