It was the first real Russian edi- | torial reaction to President Tru- man’s speech to Congress Wednes- day wrging U. S. aid for Greece and Turkey. “In Washington,” said the edi- torial, which was eagerly read by foreign delegates to the Big Four Foreign Minister’s Conference, “they | do not want to consider | obviously the obligations adopted by the United States government before the United Nations organization. “Expressing unusual nervousness, President Truman did not even deem it necessary to wait for the results of the work of the Security Council's mission sent to Greece to determine the situation there.” One end of Moscow to the othef this editorial, which in size alonc was one of the longest to appear in' many months—it stretched from the masthead to the bottom of the front page throughout two columns; | President Truman overruled his top | mostly in Italy, while 15,873 more} was read with avid interest by all! | CHIEF EXECUTIVE IS JUST "LOAFING” - DURING VACATION Kept lnformed on Reac- tion to Message, Curb- ing Commumsm By ERNEQ B.

Note—This is the sec- ond of Drew Pearson’s columns on the background problems faced by Secretary of State Marshall in Moscow). WASHINGTON—It goes without raying that the most important in- | gredient to a successful conference in Moscow is Russia’s desire to get along with the United States. Regarding this there are varying iichools of thought. One school— that of Soviet satellite diplomats earlier column—is that there is a cleavage of opinion inside the Kremlin regarding lasting friend- ship with the United States. This may well be true. However, the view of this columnist, who has watched Soviet-USA affairs over a period of many years, is that the 14 members of the Politburo, despite some differences of opinion, have never lost sight of their main goal. That goal is not war. Russia is not prepared for war, doesn't want war, won't be able to fight a war for five or ten years. Furthermore, ! her leaders don't think war is nec- essary. The main Soviet goal is some- thing else.
