Danube Conference lllustrates
Danger of Dealing With Reds
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The United States, Britain and
France have taken a bad beating at the 10-power
Danube River conference just concluded in Bel
grade. The only tonsolation to be gained from the
result is that, propaganda-wise, the Soviet govern
ment has been put on record and the Communist
dominated, countries have shown the world how
they intenfi t 0 behave in any future conferences.
When American, British and French diplomats
went into the Danube conference, they knew in ad
vance that they would be outvoted by the seven
power combination of Russia, Bulgaria, Romania,
Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the
Ukraine. '
The Western powers were on record, however, as
being willing to negotiate with the Russians at any
time, on any subject, and at any level in a legitimate
conferencé intended to handle a specific problem.
So they went through with the Danube conference
as provided for by the Big Four Council of Foreign
Ministers ‘under the terms laid down in the peace
treaties with the Balkan countries.
“AGREEMENT” FIXED UP RUSSIANS
The resulting Danube River “agreement” fixes
up everything the way the Russians and their down
river satellites want it. It is a clear demonstration
that these Communist countries are not going to
co-operate with Western Europe. They are going
to do everything they can to freeze the non-Com
munist countries out of Eastern Europe.
As a matter of fact, the Belgrade conference prob
ably settles nothing. For three years the United
States has taken a leading part in trying to get
traffic moving again on the Danube. Recovery in
Europe is almost’ impossible without it. Eastern
European food supplies have traditionally moved
up the river in exchange for Western European
manufactured goods.
Since the end of the war, the Russians have had
a virtual blockade on the lower river. There has
been considerable revival of shipping on the upper
river, in the British and American zones of Austria
and Germany. There has been little information and
probably less traffic on the Soviet-controlled lower
Danube. gt has been a dead river, with an effective
barrier by the Russians below Linz, Austria. River
boats might have moved downstream from Ger
many and Austria, but there was no chance that
any of them might be permitted to move back up
stream.
The new Danube treaty dictated by the Russians
serves merely to formalize that blockade and make
it perma;nent. It is not an agreement to open up
traffic or to help European recovery in any way.
And it e;nphasizes again the danger of what Secre
tary Marshall calls trying to reach an agreement
with the Russians, just for agreement’s sake.
NOTE FOR HENRY WALLACE FOLLOWERS
This is the important point that should be shoved
under the nose of every Henry Wallace follower
and every international Commie-sympathizer who
believes§ “the United States should make a deal to
settle outstanding differences with Russia. The
Danubéi;‘River conference merely proves how im
possible it is to do business with Stalin and com
pany. . ' ¥
The peace treaties with Bulgaria, Hungary and
Romanjay for instance, declare that navigation on
the Dafiibe shall be free and open for the nationals,
vesselsfii commerce, and goods of all states, on a
footin;%equality. »
That was a clear commitment signed by the Rus
sians. figte how it \,\}as carried out in the Danube
agreement they dictated. One sentence in the body
of the agreement says there shall be no discrimina
tion as'to various shipping companies operating on
the river. In the very next sentence it is declared
_that differences in charges based on volume of traf
fic shall not be considered as discrimination.
What this implies is simply that if a Russian com
pany is operating 100 boats on the Danube at one
rate, a company from another country-——say Ger
many or Austria—might be charged a higher or a
prohibitive rate if it operated a different number
of ships.*
A situation involving this kind of discrimination
is bound to arise under the Russian Danube terms.
When it does, there is only one chance for settle
ment by arbitration. Taking an illustration from the
Bulgarian peace treaty, it provides that any dispute
arising under the treaty shall be referred to a
three-man commission, one from each of the two
disputing countries, and a third neutral. If the two
diwum&mfimnnot agree on the third mem
% ber withi' one 'month, either may ask the United
y Nations secertary to name the third.

Russia’s Perfidy In Korea
% RUSSIA’S PERFIDY IN KOREA
The Russian government has many
crimes for which sooner or later it must
answer. One of its supreme acts of perfidy
is the way in which, by virture of its pow
er, it has obstructed the formation of a
Korean government,
During the last few weeks of the world
war, when the United States had practi
cally brought Japan to her knees and only
the atomic bomb was lacking to com
plete the work, Russia declared war
against Japan with no other purpose than
that of edging the fight on the winning
side and gaining a seat at the peace table.
The United States did not need any help
from the Soviet in order to whip Japan.
The fight was over.
The ancient kingdom of Korea had
been stolen by the Japanese in 1904 and
was due to regain its independence. But
Russia was out for control. So it was
agreed that Russia was to control the
northern half of Korea and the United
States the southern half. As soon as every
thing was adjusted Korea was to be given
her independence. But when it came to
actual performance, Russia backed out of
the agreement. The United States lived
up to its promise and, since nothing else
could be done, the Southern half of Korea
has been officially released and has set up
a separate government. Russia, however,
still swings on to the northern half.. That
was simply an act of perfidy. It may be
remedied sometime in the future.
That is an.act typically = Russian. Just
what will finally come to pass cannot be
foretold just now, but the refusal to give
back to Korea her entire independence is
simply another of the acts of peridy that
have become synonymous with the Soviet
government.
That Man Tito
Josef Stalin may be the most powerful
‘man in the world today, but it is becom
ing apparent that he has about met his
‘match in ‘the Yugoslavian dictator, Mar
shal Tito. Both men are ruthless tyrants,
but Tito is the only man in high office in
the communistic countries who has boldly
defied the orders of the Soviet dictator.
It is beyond question that he has gained
immensely in popularity in Yugoslavia.
TThose who are in touch wtih the situa
tion in Europe say that at the present
time, more than half the people in Yu
goslavia are solidly behind Tito in his de
fiance of the cominform and there is no
indication of any break in his lines. He is
Communist but one that seeks to have his
own way just as Stalin seeks to have his.
Even the Serbs, who are largely Catho
lic and who have no use for Tito have
come to the conclusion that they should
give him credit for putting Yugoslavia on
the map and they say of him, in spite of
their cisapproval of many of his acts, that
he has acted like a Yugoslav.
There are four distinct groups that are
giving him loyal and undivided support.
1-—The young partisans who warship
him as the defender of national indepen
dence.
2__The great mass of the people who
do not want to be taken over by the Rus
sians.
3—The party hacks who, having takeu
a stand with Tito, fear the triumph of any
anti-Tito regime under whieh they would
be made to walk the plank.
4—The small clique that is anxiously
.waiting for a showdown, with Russia.
Titc has 1o use for the United States
of America. He has said more against this
country than any man in power in Europe.
He does not all the time tell the truth, but
there is little of the trained diplomat
about him.
Qur government does not approve of
his politics or his ideas of the correct gov
ernment. But the United States can get
some consolation out of Tito. He is giving
Stalin some severe headaches and it may
be that in the end he will be able to stir up
anti-Russian feeling in the Balkans and
make a large slit in Stalin’s Iron Curtain.
It’s just fundamental, it seems to me,
that government has to be held as smalt
as it possibly can be, in order to accom
plish the really necessary functions of
government. — Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York. g o dide s

ECHOES FROM MEMORYLAND
s~ 1
Some Of The Moving Pictures Of Years Now Gone
It has not been so awful long
since moving pictures made their
bow to the Athens publi¢ and yet
they carry memories back almost
a half century. They were not
large or impressive institutions in
those days, the days before talk
ies came out, but they served their
purpose well and furnished us
with both amusement and in
struction. That was the day when
sex and crime pictures were
practically unknown. in -vitiating
screen productions. Ed Stone was
the pioneer in the moving =icture
business in Athens. There was a
small theater on Lumpkin street
near the Banner office between
Clayton and Broad steets and
another on College avenue near
the- office where the Western Un
ion Telegraph Co., now is.
In spite of all the improve
ments that have been made and
the high-salaried artists who
have come on the scenes, T still
think that nothing has excelled
‘the genuine pleasure given by
Margeurite Clark in the presen
.sentation of “Daddy Long-Legs.”
And right along with Marguerite
’1 would rank Mary Pickford and.
the many beautiful and instrue
tive pictures that she presented,
I remember quite vividly the
picture “Little Old New York”
in which Marion Davies starred
as well as several other pictures
by that attractive performer,
Fairbanks wes quite a favorite . in
those days. He presented the
““Prisoner of Zenda” 'on the open
ing of the present Palace Thea
‘ter. Other fine pictures were pre
sented by the Gish girls and
Coleen Moore.
There were two other actors
}whom I miss from the screen
'more than eny others, George Ar
}liss and Will Rogers. To me they
stand out in memory more vivid
'ly than any others. The pictures
presented by George Arliss were
among the most interesting and
instructive ever presented here.
They were chiefly instructive
from a historical standpoint but
at the same time very interesting,

“‘WHAT HAVE YOU EVER BUILT?"
BY T. W. REED
No' picture ever impressed me as
q&ch_’as his “Disaeli.” 1t was one
‘ot the most perfect pictures I
ever saw and the acting of Arliss
was perfeet. Of scarcely less ef
fect were his pictures, “Jefferson
and Hamilton” and ‘Voltaire.”
~ Will Rogers was incomparable.
There may be.-another actor to
come along in his class but that
i doubtful. I cannot recall his
&a’ny pictures by name, but they
ays gave me amusement that
‘lasted and left 21l present in a
'good humor. I think that Will
‘Rogers did as much in holding up
‘the morale of the American peo
ple from 1929 to 1932 in the
midst of the great depression as
‘any other citizen in those irying
;times, for if you can keep a peo
‘ple laughing and smiling you can
face almost any depression. It is
a pity that some of the Arliss and
Rogers pictures are not put on
the screen again, f/though their
originators have long since join
ed the immortals.
“,“The Birth of a Nation,” was
one of the great pictures I recall
as being: presented at the old Col
‘onial Theater -on = Washington
street. Marie Dressler and Wal
lece Beery were among my fa
vorites, Valentino in “The Sheik”
was a great favorite. There were
many others back in those days
who were charming entertainers,
but I will not attempt to list
fhelni, .
Of course there are many oth
ers today who occupy the spot
light, but I just thought T would
recall some of the old-timers
whose pictures 1 used to enjoy
so much.

MAN RAISES HIS ARMS
ABOVE HIS HEAD FOR:
FIRST TIME IN YEARS
A few days ago a man saic the;
rheumatic pains in his arms and
shoulders disappeared and nox‘.'{
he' can raise his arms above his|
head for. the first time in years.
He said the pains he used to have
from . this rheumatism were
simply . awful. Sometimes his |
knees and hips were stiff and
soré¢ but the pains were mostly in
the back of his neck and across
his 'shoulders. Now, however, his
suffering is entirely gone and he
says the change is due to taking
TRU-AID. “Oh, What relief!”,
states this man. “Why don’t other
rheumatic = sufferes get TRU
AID.” :
TRU-AID is a new formula. It
contains Three Great Ingredi
ents, so it is almost like takin,ql
three medicines in one. It goes
right to the source of rheumatic'
aches and pains. Miserable peo
ple soon feel different all overl!‘
So don’t go on suffering! Get
TRU-AID. Sold by all Drug"
