SUNDAY, AUGUST 8 194 THE ESCANABA (MICH.) DAILY PRESS PAGE DISCUSS WORLD PEACE PLANNING Rep. Bennett Discusses Subject At Editors' Meeting Here Rep. John Bennett of Ontonagon, congressman from the 1 21ti district, discusned America's place in peace talks which will follow the war in a thought-provoking uddress to editors of the Upper Peninsula at the closing luncheon session of the district meeting of the Michigan Press association held yesterday afternoon at Ks- canaba golf club house. should talk and consider the peace terms it desires when the war ends. It should lie hs frank and realistic in its views and discussions as are Stalin and Bennett declared.

Since the United States has already assumed the responsibility for feeding the war-stricken millions of the world, this should he used as a lever by this country to Mjt up the machinery for world Periodically peace which this country desires, he said. Peace Talks In U. S. should demand that the peace conference following this war be held in the United Bennett asserted. will bring to our American people an understanding of the peace plans and policies which must be discussed.

We have loaned billions to our allies. we should have the big say in writing the peace terms." Bennett pointed out that in after the first World War President Wilson and his representatives went to Paris. He expressed admiration for Wilson's ace plans and declared that if they had been followed we would not now again be engaged in war. "He made one mistake, Bennett said. "He first tried to sell his Ideas to foreign diplomats, and then came home and tried to sell the American people on what had been done.

He should first have had the consent of his own people on the peace terms discussed in Asserting that he bad no peace of his own to offer. Bennett urged the American people to think deeply on what it desires from the to follow the war. In opinion the first need is a coalition of governments. world tribunal, or a league of! nations, which will be empowered to settle international disputes. But such a world tribunal will be powerless unless it has police authority to enforce its decrees, he pointed out.

The Plilted States, the only major power which can attend a peace conference in complete good faith, should insist that nil nations disarm, our allies as well as our enemies. is a oue-man covern- metit, ruled by a selfish man so far as his country is Bennett said. wants to take Finland and other small countries and brinn them into the Communistic fold.

Moscow Dateline BY HENRY C. CASSIDI Beconif Munising News with him wi physiei sur pri P( Hr.

Hart In Munisi cd to see ea a i i t. a fnr- Bot ot her Britain and Russia Allies Chapter ft For wetkn the great question in Moscow was: Where is Stalin? And then suddeuly, Stalin stepped of to the fore. He did so in the simple, undramatie manner characteristic of the man, in a way that was as understandable to the Russian as it was bizarre to foreigners. At a. July 3.

when the Soviet radio was starting its usual transmission and Stalin waii ending his usual night's work, he sat before a microphone in the Kremlin and talked to his people. There was no special occasion for the speech, such as May Day or an anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. There was no announcement in advance, to attract listeners. Stalin simply had something he wanted to say, and he said it at daybreak. For the rest of the day the speech was read bv announcers, and broadcast through loudspeakers iu the streets and squares.

The text was posted on fences and walls. By nightfall. everyone knew the words of the leader. citizens, brothers and sisters, men of our army and he said, 'my words are addressed to you. dear In plain words he told them that German troops were occupying Lithuania, much of western White Russia and western Ukraine; that German planes were bombing Murmansk, lensk.

Kiev, Odessa, and Sahas- topol, and that 'great danger overhangs our He explained that the Germans had been able to advance because of their sudden, treacherous attack, executed by forces better prepared for war. He explained that his government had previously made its non-aggi ssion pact with Germany to gum a year and a half of peace and time to prepare for war. Having explained two points which had sorely puzzled the Russians, he went on to tell them what they must do next: realize the terrible danger in which they stood, give everything for the front, tighten the rear, and. when forced to retreat, scorch the earth. He ordered them to form guerrilla bands behind the German lines and Popular Guards behind the Red army lines.

He announced that the state committee of defense, of which he himself was head, had taken over full authority, and invoked his own name in calling the people to around the party of Lenin and Stalin, and around the Soviet government, so as to render self- sacrificing support to the Red army and Red navy, to demolish the enemy and secure The important thing was that Stalin, the man of steel, had taken hold of the war. Their heads shoue from combing, their cheeks from shaving. They were obviously excited. After the party I rode to Moscow with two RAF officers, one whom remarked casually that Sir Stafford should be sitting oil of the world I carried a coded telegram which Ambassa dor Steinhardt asked me to drop at the telegraph office. Only the did I learn what it was all about.

On July 12. Great Britain and the Soviet Union had become allies An agreement on joint action in the war against Germany had been signed at the Kremlin at 5:15 m. that afternoon by' Crlpps and Molotov. The pact was arranged in two i talks between Cripps and Stalin It was simply worded, with only two provisions that the I powers should extend each othei mutual aid and not conclude sep- I aiale peace During the ceremony of signa- ture champagne was served, a very good, dry Caucasian champagne 'as dry as a as one guest put It. Chocolate bon bons also were passed around perhaps to show Laurence Cad- bury that the Soviets had rhoco- I late of theli own.

No one touched it. Stalin, looking small and tired, stood with Marshal Born Shaposhnikov, principal military adviser and chief of the Red army general staff, and kept peeking up, almost timidly, at the former imperial colonel. Then the protocol was brought in. signa ture, blue ribbons, and red wax seals were nffixed. photographs were taken, and the agreement was made.

While the photographs were taken, John Trant, roly-poly little consul-general who once toured America as an actor and whose favorite pastime was parodying Haile Selassie, stood beside Stalin, lie nudped the leader and asked: you sign, Stalin was puzzled, and said 'That's the foreign said Trant. have my ambassador sign for me. Stalin did not think this was funny. He looked at Trant, wonder ing who he was The agreement was announced jointly in Moscow and London at 2 p. July 18.

The Soviet authorities gave the agreement a good press, but it was not swallowed quickly by the public. As it was being announced on the radio, I heard a Russian sav: I thought we were signing with honest There had been too much anti-British propaganda before the war for the people to be able to make an immediate turn-about.

This action was taken by OPA after refusal of some truckers in Delaware, hauling from the I)el- niarv a Dela ware-Maryland-Vir- giniai area, to divulge such Information. A program of requisitioning poultry is beime carried on In cooperation with enforcement division, with the ble-barrelled purpose of assuring hicken for the men and women in army camps and of smashing the black market which had been keeping that chicken from them The manifest, which also must be posted in any freight car or other vehicle transporting poultry items, must further show tho place from which the items were shipped, their quantities, tvpeg, Ktades and weight classes, and the number of head of each. A more surprising speech came days later.

The correspondents were told, the morning of July S. that there would be an important broadcast that night at 11 p. m. When they submitted telegrams, warning their offices to be listening at that hour, Nikolai Palgunov. chief of the press department of the foreign commissariat, coyly suggested not tell them it will be a speech of That was a surprise! Litvinov had been in retirement since his replacement by Molotov as foreign commissar just after the May Day celebration of 1H3M.

Periodically, it was rumored abroad that he had been shot, although we In Moscow had seen him from time to time, sitting obscurely in his seat as a Leningrad deputy at tlie Supreme Soviet, or with hia Knglish wife. Ivy Low. at the Bolshoi Theater. Yet, what was more natural than that he should emerge now. He had been champion of collective security and cooperation with the Western Powers during his career as commissar.

He had been shelved when that policy went bankrupt and Russia signed the pact with Germany. Still, he had been carefully wrapped up and 1 kept on ice for another day. That 1 day had come. His speech had a prophetic note. His main point was this: is all-important that Hitler should not have a moment spite, that he should disappointed iu his hope of a de facto truce in the west.

While his aim is to strike at one adversary at a time, ours should be to strike together, simultaneously, without respite, untiringly. Each blow struck now is ten times as effective. and entails infinitely less expenditure and sacrifice, than if it is delivered when any one of his adversaries become The words and were underlined in bis original text.
