Mr. De Valera’s Regrets (New York Times) In making a personal call at the German Legation in Dublin “to ress condolences for Adolf Hitler's death,” it is pessible that President Eamon de Velera was merely following what he believed to be the pro- tocol required of a neutral siate. Considering the character and the record of the man for whose death he was expressing grief, there is obviously something wrong with the protocol, the neutrality, or Mr. de ralera.

We don’t want other nations meddling in coun- tries near us in the Western Hemi- sphere. And before we learned our lesson we sent troops indiscrimi- same nately into most of these countries, | even as far south as Paraguay. We put puppet presidents in power, and we ousted them from power—even late as 1933, the first year of t New Deal. The Russians have done exactly the ame thing with their puppet Lublin Government of Poland. And they don't like our telling them who else to include in the Lublin Government any more than Joe Grew liked the British nosing a 1to Nicaraguan waters. Probably the chief difference be- tween our general policy in the Caribbean and Soviet policy toward Poland is that Russia has been in- vaded twice through Poland in 25 years and we have never been in- | vaded through Latin America. However, just as the Monroe Doctrine has protected us since the early history of the United States, Russian policy toward Poland has not varied with the Empress Cath- erine, or Peter the Great, or Joe talin. Russian policy on Poland s fixed 200 years before Drake whipped the Spanish Armada. Even then it was determined that Russia could not hope for peace unless the Prince Hohenlohe, a Pole, who married the step-daughter of Tony Biddle, ex-Ambassador to Poland, is @ related to the Prussian nobility.

He y at home among the Prussiar The Prussians and the Polish no- bility understand each other, are interchangeable. This is why Stalin began two or three months after Pearl Harbor to make his views on Poland absolutely clear. It was in February, 1942, ister Molotov came to London to urge a second front. Russia was then in desperate straits. The Red Army was fighting at Stalingrad, its back to the wall. But even then, though Molotov came hat in hand, he made it clear that Russia must have Poland, up to the Curzon Line, restored He asked for the same thing in Washington, as reported in this column on June 8, 1942. He begged and implored Roosevelt to start a second front, but he also made it quite clear Russia was neither. We were not ready to start a second front, and though the British were quite willing to agree on Poland—in fact did sign a memorandum on it — Roosevelt asked Molotov to postpone any agreement with the United States until after the war. American tra- dition, he said, did not countenance that Foreign Min-| yielding | nothing on Poland. Molotov got | policy Soviet mistakes. But it does show how strongly the Russians feel— just as strongly as we did when Wilson sent Gen. Pershing into Mexico to arrest and kill a lot more than 16 followers of Gen. Pancho Villa.

(One is re- puted to be British agent no disavowed by London.) Kerr also told Eden he thought the missing 16 Poles were a poor issue on which to make a down fight. Kerr even tried to per- suade Soviet-hating U. S. Ambas- sador Averill Harriman that the United States was wrong on question; but he made no progre: Eden and Ha a the Poles, but the way the Russians had handled the matter. In regard to this, of course, they were tech- nically right. The Russians have bungled the matter, but so have we.
