Ruhr and Rhineland, but in the
meantime plays along in what is
fast assuming the appearance of
an anti-Soviet front.

The deep cleavage on economic
isues between Britain and the
United States is for the moment
subordinated to a common politi-
cal policy which is expressed
most clearly in their refusal to

recognize the governments of:
Romania, Bulgaria and Hun-
gary. And- the “democratic”

changes, urged by Britain and
the United States in these coun-
tries are of the kind which will
give greater -power to the _oppo-
sition forces within them, the

very; forces which. are anti-So-:

viet and collaborationist.

All this takes place in an ete

mosphere - for the moment “con- |!

It is a rather obscene spectacle,
the way our highest statesmen
are playing with this extremely
dangerous weapon, like a child
playing with a loaded revolver.

The most alarming ‘thing about
it 4s the bullyish, if immature,
fashion in which our statesmen
are using the atom bomb. After
all, that is an old story. A big
navy, a big army, a big air fleet
