The Hope Of Potsdam Believe It OrNot--- By Robert Ripley The National Whirligig Side Glances-By Galbraith. New "Big Three" Era Possible LOSE observers of the Washington scene unanimous in forecasting that the American participation in the Potsdam Big Three" meeting will be both more realistic and more outspoken than in preceding.con- fabs between the highest officials of the U. Great Britain and Russia. Flanked by a larger number of experts than his predecessor, the late President Roosevelt." ever took with him to such conferences, President Truman, indications are, will present this country's ideas and suggestions "right across the board," relying more 3 marshaled facts and statistics than upon personal powers of charm and persuasion. If Mr Truman does enter into the Potsdam conversations in a straight-irom-the- shoulder manner, he will only be doing over there what he has been doing over here ever he became President of these United States Those who have had official connection with the President these last months are unanimous in describing his dealings as crisp, practical and right to the point.

Those who know Russia best, and who have had the most success in Dealing v-ith the Russians, are of the opinion that J. Stalin Co. are easier to get along with by starkly realistic. Certainly, the Russians are that-and so is Winston Churchill to a degree greater than that of most Britisn- ers. Perhaps out of Potsdam, and at least par- tiallv due to a new realistic tack by the American delegation, will come a new era of better understanding between the great powers which were successful allies in war and should continue as successful allies in peace.

There are grounds for hope in this direction. One Frenchman Remembers IS refreshing to note that one Frenchman knows that his country owes its existence as a nation today perhaps to the grace of God and the efforts of Britain and America. In a stormy debate over the Syrian question the other day, Pierre Cot, former member of the cabinet, said: reproach Mr. Churchill for having taken a little too much interest in our affairs in Syria. But if Mr.

Churchill, at a certain period, had not taken an interest in our affairs, General de Gaulle would not have been able to make his appeal in 1940." Needless to remark, Mr. Cot did not bring dowrrthe house with his frank and honorable admission. General de Gaulle, was taking the "other side," was given the applause. General de Gauile is coming to the United States soon. May he come in the spirit of one who appreciates the saving of his country and obligation therefore to his hosts, rather than in the arrogance of a conqueror- Let him not forget, furthermore, while spouting his criticisms of Churchill, that England gave him and his few soldiers haven after France fell into the grasp of the Nazis, and that England fought for France when France, rotten to the core because of political and social difficulties of her own making, was unable to lift a hand to fight for herself.

NBA Service. Inc.) Pre-View In Pacific WA.5K1KGTOK By Turkvr I EUROPE the United States the Amy High Command has started the retraining of six million troops who will be redeployed to fight the Japs. The purpose of this vast system of reeducation of men green to ths wiles of Pacific warfare is to make every odd in their favor in their new assignment.

Officers are receiving their instruction from Far Eastern veterans at miniature war colleges. The Gls are getting it in barracks and on a thousand fields stretching from France to San Francisco. For the redeployment of the men who crushed Hitler must be mental as well as physical. In a sense i they must get the same sort of briefing that a salesman shifted from Berlin to a Tokyo branch office would need. For ihe benefit of mothers I and fathers whose sons will now I fight in the Orient, it can be said that they will be battling a foe cidedly inferior in spirit, savvy, supplies and equipment to those I of the Prussians whom the so- called cowboy" chased TUCKER from the Nile to the Rhine and a bit beyond that historic stream.

And don't worry too much about their supposed exposure to disease or discomfort. Chief of Staff George Marshall began preparation for the Japanese campaign long before Hitler was polished off. He has taken every precaution for holding down casualties from bullets or boredom. There follows a short summary of the differences and likenesses of warfare which the doughfoot will encounter when he is shifted from the European to the Far Eastern theater of operations. DULL: The climate in the new "Over There" will be better than that in Europe in some respects, for our forces have moved northward from the swamps and jungles ridden with snakes, insects and malaria.

It will be no hotter than the sands of North Africa and the Campagna in the daytime, and no colder than nights in Tunisian deserts, in the mountains of Italy or on the wet, damp plains of France and Germany. The hours of combat will be intense, they will be shorter, and the rest periods will be longer. Our concentration of power against a single enemy enables us to provide more frequent relief. We will enjoy the enviable advantage of Knute Rockne's famous Notre Dame football teams. He could rush onto the field a new team every 15 minutes of the SC.

The greatest enemy will be ennui. Even a sleepy Italian town or a one-street French hstnlet, with its estaminets and hippy belles, is more exciting than coral or volcanic dots on the awesome Pacific Ocean. But the Army and Navy plan to step up recreational theaters, libraries, educational centers far beyond past activities in this area. Nevertheless, redeployed veterans must become reconciled to a dull and drab job.

''On Saturday we will read The Future Course Of Food WORLD-WIDE developments oh the food front raise the question whether peoples ever will eat again according to prewar customs. Denmark announces it is cutting its diet to the level of Britain's. The British and Americans sacrifice what they might have so that others may eat at subsistence levels. Whether any people will permanently deny itself to help the low diet nations remains to be seen. Many theorists have contended there should be a leveling off of menus to lift up the semi-starvation countries.

That is being practiced now in the United States with a vengeance. The British, who have always been well fed in peace times, are thinking in terms of synthetic foods for postwar meals. One British scientist advances the theory that cattle should be diverted to dairy products and steaks replaced by a new type of yeast which can be produced from waste materials. But our guess is that when the food difficulties arising out of the war have disappeared, people will go on eating pretty much as they did before. In this country, you can bet your bottom dollar that yeast from waste materials will never gain favor over thick and juicy steaks which, it may be hoped, will be Americans' right again after victory over the Japanese over the bunglers in the War Food administration and OPA.

who. although in the minority in those agencies, have caused more food woes on the home front than those chargeable to the war itself.

WINNING THE WAR By Albert Leman AUTHOPJZING Pan American World Airways, American Export Lines and TWA to engage in transatlantic the Civil Aeronautics board has settled only one phase of the explosive ocean flight problem.

There is still plenty of dynamite lying around. Applications for air routes across the Pacific and to South America are pending. No decision has been announced on the request of steamship companies to operate planes. Rumors are rife in Wall Street that one or more airship concerns are being organized to carry passengers and freight by dirigible. Congressional committees are still in angry deadlock over postwar aviation policy.

For months a bitter row has raged in commercial flying circles on who or how many would be permitted to rake in the lucrative transocean trade, which will be around eighteen per cent of all air traffic. CAP's verdict is a compromise. Executives of Pan American, the pioneer overseas company, have realized for a long time that after the war they could not hope to monopolize international business. Domestic airlines have been LEMAN holding public protest meetings and flooding Washington with complaints that thay are being squeezed out of the global jield. To offset the clamor and to save the foremost position for Pan President Juan Trippe pro- puifd that hereafter our national effort should be concentrated "behiiit! a single American international operation." This has been dubbed the "chosen instrument" policy, a term which Trippe dislikes because it is the phrase applied to air tions by foreign government owned lines.

STOKES Special Corrsspondeni ASHINGTON. It's not nice to think about, but there are those who are promoting legislation which will set tw-o powerful segments of our postwar population one against the ex-service men and labor unionists. The object of promoting this dangerous cleavage is to weaken laboi- unions. It happened after the last war, contributing to the wave of intolerance that swept the country hi the early '20's. During this war there have been manifest attempts here and thsre to set the soldier agair.

st the worker at home. Some attempts were made in Congress, some outside. STOKES The postwar period, because of its natural confusions, will offer opportunities for those who would use -the veteran to fight unions. Both the returning soldier and the are from war tensions. They can find sources of friction, if they look hard, or if they are encouraged.

Later Sseks More As the nation emerges from the war, labor naturally is going to try to get more money in the pay envelope. That might as well be expected. Labor has seen tha price of things rise, W'ith its income fixed. Labor organizations have been pushing at wage ceilings, with occasional, and limited success. They are beginning to push more energetically.

All during the war, businessmen and farmers have been pressing, too, to break through price ceilings. They operate through their organizations and their representatives in Congress, and they have had some successes also. Both also have had nice profits. A LL of these conflicts will add up to enough troubles in the postwar period of adjustment without exploiting the tensions of war's aftermath by setting one group against example, the war veteran against the union worker. Typical of the latter technique is the current activity of Rep.

John Rankin Miss.X Ke is sponsoring a bill which would provide that war veterans cannot be required to join a labor union or pay union dues and assessments. Innocent as it may look, this is designed to break down ihe structure of unionism by setting off the war veteran against the union worker. Mr. Rankin's purpose is clear from his own record. It is in keeping xvith the philosophy he has exemplified in recent years.

It is more easily understood by taking into Recount his background and his locale in a poll-tax state and a state where labor has little in- iluence. Hankin Is Criticized Labor bills are handled in the usual course by the House Labor committee. Mr. Rankin is chairman of the House Veterans committee. In a characteristic, high handed manner he put the bill before his committee, without any previous consideration or testimony.

And without the full membership being present. Then he called for a vote and announced it had been approved. Thereupon he reported it to the House. Now he is confronted xvith a "minority report" signed by more than a majority of his committee disapproving the bill. That is quite a rebuke to P.

committee chairman. One member, who voted with him on the voice vote in the committee, said he thought only he and the chairman and one other member voted for the bill. The measure may now be recalled, since a majority has signified its opposition. TN its "minority report," the J- committee majority pointed out that Gen. Frank T.

Hines, chairman of the War Veterans Placement Training board, has been holding conferences with representatives o'f labor, industry, veterans and government to work out problems incident to the re-employment of war veterans and that there is every reason to believe this will bring a solution. General Hines recommended that legislation be deferred. A The committee majority ssS the necessity for the Rankin bill has not been established and "there has been no convincing demonstration that the proposal will be in the best interest of veterans." It said also that "the effects of this measure would be so many and varied as to be unenforceable; the changes in contracts, agreements and laws would be so numerous as to be incal- cuable without study." Mr. Rankin has discredited himself, but he will not be stopped so easily, nor will others with similar aims. Soong Confers With Stalin Fourth Time MOSCOW, July 12.
