The Washington Nofebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—In the light of hind
sight, there is no particular point in in trying to
defend the Yalta agreement of February, 1945, ex
cept for the historical record. The Yalta agreement,
made by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stalin, brought Russia into
the war against Japan, In a secret agreement not
made public until later, Russia was given three
seats in the United Nations and the Big Four veto
procedure in the Security Council was approved.
For the sake of argument, admrit that all these
concessions to Russia were bad. Admit also that
President Roosevelt was in poor health and not in
posession of the faculty for hard political bargain
ing which he showed in his prime,
Granting, then, that the agreements made at
Yalta were all a mistake, there still remains one
important guestion for consideration in any attempt
at am impartial apprisal of the results of Yalta to
day. This question is: What difference would it
have made if there had been no Yalta?
RUSSIANS RECOUM™ 1904 WAR LOSSES
First recall the terms of Yalta—the price paid for
Russian agreement to enter the war against Japan,
The main text is-only a little over 300 words long.
Its mrain points are these:
1. There would be no change in the status of
Outer Mongolia. (By a treaty of 1924, Russia had
recognized Chinese sovereignty over the area. But
Russia later claimed it was under rule of the Mon~
golian People’s Republic, a Chinese Communist-
Soviet satellite state.)
2. Russia was given the rights it held in north
@ast Asia prior to the 1904 war with Japan. These
included possession of southern Sakhalin Island.
The Kurile Islands were given to Russia outright.
Russia was to get back her naval base rights at
Port Arthur, Dairen was to be made an interna
tional port, with Russian interests preeminent.
3. The Chinese Fastern and South Manchurian
railroads terminating at Dairen were to be oper
ated by a joint Soviet-Chinese company, Russia
having preeminent interests. (Roosevelt apparently
meant this last provision to cover only traffic
rights. The Russians took it to mean preeminent
economic rights.)
4. China wag to retain full sovereignty in Man
churia. (This is the most misunderstood and the
nrost misrepresented point in the whole Yalta
agreement. Critics of Yalta frequently claim that
“Manchuria was given to the Russians.” Actually,
Nationalist Chinese rule over Manchuria was rec
ognized and guaranteed at Yalta.)
GIVEN AN INCH, RUSSIA TAKES A MILE
Consider what has happened on each of the
Yalta agreements:
1. Russia took over not only Outer Mongolia, but
also Singkiang, northwestern Chinese province, as
well,
2. Russia took over southern Sakhalin and the
Kurile islands because there was no force to stop
her, Even as late as early 1951, after the Korean
war began, Russia completed occupation of the
southernmost Kuriles, only a few miles from Japan.
This possession is even now confirmed in the new
U. S. peace treaty with Japan,
3. There was so much U. S. pressure to “bring
the boys home” from the Pacific in 1945 that any
greater American military assistance to Nationalist
China would have been impossible. U, S. transport
did move Natienalist Chinese troops into Machu
ria, but they failed to hold.
4, With Manchuria lost to the Chinese Reds, there
was no power other than Russia able to run the
Manchurian railroads, There was no other power in
the area in position to occupy ‘the vacuum, holding
and operating the ports of Port Arthur and Dairen.
Today’s critics of the Yalta agreement blame the
loss of Nationalist China and even the Korean war
on the concessions made to Stalin by Roosevelt in
this 1945 agreement.
That is probably as much of an over-statement as
the contention by defenders of Yalta that it was a
« good agreement, if only the Russians had lived up
to its terms, .any fair-minded appraisal must con
clude that the truth lies somewhere between these
axtremes.
This is our riskiest hour in a land of calculated
risks. That is why we are cacheing a stockpile of
arms so anrple . . . that an aggressor anywhere
will count ten before he speaks—and then bite his
tongue before he speaks at all.—Eric Johnston, eco
nomic stabilizer,
The responsibility which history imposed upon
me yesterday to save the nation fromr the abyss to
day commands me to intervene directly to show the
way and lead the nation. — General Charles de
Gaulle, French soldier-politician.
Communism will not go to jail with . . . Com
munists, No (court) decision can forestall revolu
tion whenever the existing government fails to
command the respect and loyalty of the people and
sufficient distress and discontent is allowed to grow
up among the masses,—Robert H. Jackson, Supreme
Court justice.
Qur Editorial Moralists On
Football Hypocritical
Some of the newspapers are scolding universities
and colleges for “overemphasizing” football. They
claim that this “overemphasis” is back of the West
Point incident when several football players were
expelled for cheating,
One editorial writer said the two-platoon system
is the cause of it all. No one approves of cheating,
but we think it is going a little too far to blame a
particular system of football for the cheating that
goes on at West Point, or anywhere else,
Cheating has been going on in schools ever since
they were established, Some high school students:
cheat, some university students cheat; some foot
ball players cheat and so do some students who
never engage in football or even go to a game of :
football. |
As for the “overemphasis of football which seems
to worry some of our editorial writers, we deem it
that the newspapers themselves have contributed as
much, or more, to that than any other agency.
Wait until the football season opens and turn to
the sports pages of the newspapers that at this
time are moralizing on “emphasis.” You'll see. And
while we are talking about football, it might give
the coaches a break that they would welcome and
it might serve to take some of the pressure off the
coaches, and the players, if sports writers did not
do so much to demand that every coach be a win
ner—or else.
Some, perhaps most, of the sports writers subject
coaches to ridicule because their teams do not win
every game, despite the fact that the defeated teams
play well. The newspapers, for the most part, have
not “played up” the coaches and players for play
ing good games, win or lose. They “play up” the
winners and scorn the losers.
If the newspapers would emphasize the playing
of the game for the sake of the thrill that comes
from well-nratched teams in a contest, they would
be contributing immeasurably to this “de-empha
sis” of football that their editorial writers profess
to lament. There are scores, perhaps hundreds, of
excellent football teams throughout the country but
the newspapers practically ignore them when it
comes to publicity. They see only the champions.
In the Southeastern Conference, for instance,
there are a number of fine teams, either one of
which is capable of defeating the other on any given
day. But the newspaper sports writers insist that
some one team must be the best, passing over the
fine qualities of all other teamrs. Watch it next sea
son and you will see teams played sky-high one
week for winning over a highly toutegi opponent
and berated the very next week for losing to an
other team — all in the newspapers, or over the
radio.
The newspapers are responsible for giving
coaches ulcers and sleepless nights and causing
young men to have moments of despair because
they fail to perform miraculously every time they
get the ball. Small wonder they are always in a
strain,
Some of our editorial moralists are being some
what hypocritical, especially in view of the fact
that they will miss few games themselves next sea
son, demanding, of course, seats on the 50-yard
line.

Baruch And Eisenhower
Bernard M. Baruch gave America something new
and profound to think about for 1952 when he step
ped off the boat from Europe the other day.
In essence, it was: “Don’t draft Ike.”
Mr, Baruch believes that the job Eisenhower is
doing now in Europe is too important to give up—
a job, said Baruch, that “is probably the most im
portant a single individual has had in our life
time.” Because of that, he thinks it would be a
“great disservice” to Eisenhower to put hinr into
politics.
No one can quarrel with Mr. Baruch's definition
of the role General Eisenhower is playing as mili
tary leader of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion, a role which may well determine whether we
have peace in our time, a role on which hinges the
security of the whole Free World.
The “Draft Tke” sponsors had better consider Mr.
Baruch’s words carefully. And leaders of both par
ties better think things over, too, before they seize
upon lke as the man either to keep themselves in
power or to get back into power.
But the consideration should be two-sided,
neither a tub-thumping rush to draft a hero on
whose coattails they can ride to victory, nor a quick
brush-off of his presidential possibilities because of
the job he has now. For Mr. Baruch had some other
words to say about General Eisenhower.
“He is a man entirely without self-interest, Ba
ruch said of the general. “His sole desire is to bring
the Western nations together and also satisfy the
American people.”
If those are good qualifications for a man who is
leading the Free World toward security, they also
sound like good qualifications for a man to lead the
United States. And if, under the pressure of poli
tics, General Eisenhower could still fulfill his sole
desire, it might be a “great disservice” not to draft
him,
Speech is not an absolute right . . . (and) noth
ing is more certain in modern society than the
principle that there are no absolutes. To those who
would paralze our government in the face of im
pending threat by encasing it in a semantic strait
jacket we must reply that all concepts are relative.
—Fred Vinson, chief justice, Supreme Court, on
free speech.
