In the early years of the Hitler war there was another. It is prudent for Canadians to remember that this never was about whether the Americans ,'hould come Into the war on our side. It was whether they should relax the "Cash on the Barrelhead" policy and substitute that of Lease-Lending war supplies to the anti-Hitler nations, v ho had already exhausted their ability to pay cash for U.S.-ma le supplies. Canada did not qualify for or accept Lease-Lend, then or later, as we were always able to pay our way. oOo BOTH ROOSEVELT und WiU- international tension, which seemed many times near breaking point in 1950. There seems to be some encouragement in the Russian reply but there can be little benefit unless the proposal is not only accepted but accepted in the spirit in which it has . been made. Another meeting of the council after the pattern of those held in Moscow and London in 1947 would serve little purpose. On each of those occasions, Mr. Molotov opened the conference with a salvo of accusations against his allies, hurled charges across the table which he made no attempt to substantiate, and continued through dreary controversial weeks to use the council simply as an instrument of propaganda against the western powers. These were the meetings which effectively destroyed what goodwill had survived from, the days of the alliance. They were for the Russians part of the operation of declaring the cold war. They linked with Molotov's withdrawal from the Marshall Aid conference, with Zhdanov's formulation of the doctrine of the two camps, and with the attempt to drive the western powers out of Berlin by blockade. To repeat these performances would at best be a waste of time. And it is, therefore, a wise suggestion that the first step should be consultation between the representatives of the four powers to see if some "mutually acceptable basis" can be found or a meeting of their principals. In the meantime, Soviet acceptance of the three-power proposal will have to be greeted with cautious satisfaction rather than with enthusiasm. It would be folly to expect much until we know more. It would be folly to assume that it means change in "the general attitude' of the Soviet government which is a basic condition for any real change in the world situation. Above all, it would be folly to expect miracles from a mere decision to hold, a meeting of the council. But that does not mean that the alternative to a miracle is a catastrophe. Even rejection of the three-power offer would not mean that Russia is determined to make war, any more than its acceptance would mean that she is determined to make peace. Moscow's policy has been well summarized in Vfpamphlet just published by the London Bureau of Current Affairs, tracing the history of the cold war. The author, Miss Anr.e Whyte, concludes that the Soviet government, with "no certainty that a world war would benefit her in the long run," believes the cold war much more effective for her purposes. "We niust reckon, therefore, on the most favorable assumptions, that the cold war will go on indefinitely." That seems to strike a realistic if somewhat depressing mean between unjustified optimism and equally unjustified pessimism.
