The \aashingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) stage a walk—as the Russians did at New York. \’ Biggest test: Whether the USA| would consent to arbitrate disputes | with its Latin neighbors. . . .Hughes bad instructions to duck even this. The State Départment didn't even want to discuss the matter. It was a tough fight to bar all debate of arbitration, but Hughes won out even on this. Pan-American Arbiiration Con- ference, Washington, 1929 — US. public opinion, usually ahead of the Government, by this time had begun to change. .There had always been resentment against landing troops in Nicaragua. The Pulitzers plus other liberal news- papers poured a torrent of abuse ocn the State Department. Even conservative papers were skeptical . . . Charles kvans Hughes was raked over the coals for opposing even the discussion of arbitration at Havana. . . . Like Russia, we still demanded the veto, but unlike Russia, the American people didn't support their Government. They were way ahead of it. Meanwhile two small Bolivia and Paragus ail tangle in the Chac Since the United States did not have to sub- mit to arbitraticn, it was gled to recommend arbitration for others. The Chaco dispute was arbitrated. After tuat ¢ couldn't very well aveid acceplig the principle of arbitration oursclves. Hughes and Hcllogys went into reverse, wrcte a eping formula for ar- bitrating disputes. . . .However, the question of landing U.S. troops on our neighbors’ soil still remained our prerogative. We still retained the veto. . . And it took years for the Senate to consider the Arbitra- tion Treaty finally signed by Hughes and Kellogg. Montevideo, 1833—ZCordell Hull salled to the Seventh Pan-Ameri- ecan Conference a very green Sec- retary of State. . .American pub- lic opinion by then had moved far ahead of the old swashbuckling days when we landed troops in La- tin America at the drop of a hat Henry L. Stimson had begun to pull the Marines out of Nicaragua and Haiti. There was general dis- approval of landing troops outside our borders. . So far, however we had ducked any official move by a Pan-American Conference fo deny us the right of armed inter- vention, Cordell Hull, sailing for Monte- video, wanted to continue ducking “is . .After arriving, Hull called on the Argentine and Chilean For- Ministers, later informed Am- n colleagues that Argentine Saavedra.

Commissioner of agencies. It people this vital body. that the ngn. w0 intervene by force must be preserved. He said they even promised to speak in favor of the American position, after which he, Hull, would rise and support the Argentine and Chilean Foreign Ministers. Other U.S. delegates could hardly believe their ears. For Latin cham- pionships of the right of armed in- tervention meant political suicide. .They went to the session, however, and listened. The Ar- gentine Foreign Minister rose, spoke briefly against intervention. It could not be tolerated, he said ..... Delegates noticed that Cor- dell Hull suddenly bent over and began hastily scribbling on a pad of -paper. . . .Next came the Chil- ean Foreign Minister. He also said it was time to outlaw the right of any nation to land troops on the soil of another. . . .This was just the opposite of what Mr. Hull expected. Finally Hull arose and delivered the new speech he had been scribbling—a speech backing up Argentina-Chile, placing the USA on record against armed in- tervention. . . .‘That was partly how the Good Neighbor policy was born Sumner Welles did the rest. New York, 1946—Today, Russia, fuming against the United Nations, is in the same boat as the USA before the Pan-American Union. Instead of Nicaragua, it's Iran. . . . But there is an essential difference JIn 20 years, the USA moved far ahead in international moral- ity—due to the power of public opinion. The American people, its press and pulpit, were continually pushing their Government. % The opposite is true in Russia. The Russian people know little about Iran, little about the UNO confer- ence, have to take what their Gov- ernment gives them. A Stars and Stripes quiz of Red Army soldiers showed that most of them thought Churchill was an American. We have to make allowances for Russia because in a sense she is a new nation—sensitive and sus- picious. But until the Russian pecple run their Government, until we penetrate the Soviet iron cur- tain and get to know the Russ people, we face the dismal pros- pect of turmoil and misunderstand- ing for many years to come. COLUMNIST ICKES Probably it was pure accident, but Harold Ickes begins his new career as newspaper columnist on the same day he is needed most in his old job as Coal Administra- tor. And, good columnist that he is bound to be, probably most people would prefer Ickes at the helm in this coal dispute rather than wielding a pen three times a week. As a columnist, Ickes should tell the. inside story smarted John L. Lewis during the last coal strike and made him call it off. However, since he probably won't tell it, this competitor will.

The Government-owned Big Inch and Little Inch pipe-lines no longer were needed to carry oil to the East Coast; so Ickes threatened to convert them to natural gas. Natural gas is the thing which John L. Lewis dreads most. It makes him see things under the bed. Piped up from Texas where much of it goes to waste, gas can be sold in the big Eastern indus- trial centers at a rate which would put many coal mines out of busi- ness. Furthermore, Texas gas op- erators figure that in five to ten years, atomic energy will jeopardize their investment, and they are anxious to sell their gas now. With this trump card, plus the fact that the miners themselves didn’t want to strike, Ickes bull- dozed Lewis into calling the strike off. Today the two government pipe- lines are filled with salt water, and Mr. Ickes, instead of battling with John L. Lewis, is brandishing a from THE EMPIRE [ b e APRIL 2, 1826 Slightly over $100 was cleared at the All Fool's Day masquerade : APRIL 2 : dance given the previous night by the local lodge, No. 700, L.
