Interpreting News
by William L. Ryan
AP Foreign News Analyst
John Foster Dulles has to ibe
more diplomatic in his public
pronouncements than his bro
ther Allen, or than George Me
any, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
As secretary of state, Foster
Dulles’ chief objective at this
moment is to determine whe
ther Soviet Russian expres
sions of policy are to be accept
ed or rebuffed. He’s not sup
posed to take chances either
way, or to say anything that
might endanger the least hope
of peace.
As head of the Central Intelli
gence agency. Allen Dulles
provides much of the informa
tion on which Foster Dulles
miust base his judgments, and
isn’t supposed to say much of
anything.
An important part of George
Meany’s jo*b is to see to it that
American labor doesn’t get
sucked in by ‘isms’ which de
flect it from its main goal. His
organization has been active
not merely in combatting com
munism in the United States,
but also in thwarting the plans
otf the World Federation of
Trade Unions. This is a Mos
cow-sponsored organization wh
ose only purpose is to enlist
labor all over the word in the
Red revolution, the success of
whiidh would condemn all la
bor organizations to the impo
tency and “bollaborationism”
of those in Russia.
These three Americans dis
cussed Soviet policy this week.
Foster Dailies spoke in a con
siderably more conservative
tone than when he first return
ed from the Big Four confer
ence at Geneva a few weeks
ago. The United States is mak
ing a ceaseless effort, he said
in effect, to protect each and
all of its own interests while
studying every possibility that
a more peaceful world can be
worked out. Hiere was nothing
remindful in his word of “peace
in our time,” but doors were be
ing kept open.
His sober approach may or
may not have been influenced
by his brother. A short time be
fore Foster Dulles spoke, Allen
had been staying he had no in
formation to indicate that Rcs
sia was backing down on the
cold war. The subversive cam
paign of international comimun
ism goes forward as usual, he
said. Foster recognized the pos
sibility that Russian peaceful
emanations were merely a part
of the old' familiar communist
tactics of uzig zag.”
Speaking from the same Am
erican Legion platform after;
the secretary, Meany was more
specific about the blacks and
whites, especially blacks, of
the situation. He was under no
compulsion to keep any doors
open.
Nothing has happened, he
said, to indicate any change in
Russian plans for world domin
ation. That’s why, he said, the
Federation of Labor has “flat
ly turned down all propositions
of exchanging delegations with
the communist countries.”
The nature of the different
duties of the three men must
be taken into consideration in
considering their words.
