On its face this arrangement is highly discriminatory,
and the McCarran act would freeze it.
Whether the government would want to adopt the com-
mission's proposal for complete abandonment of the "na-

further study should show this a wise move, it is probably
loo drastic a step to win wide wup|M>rt at this time.
In summary, the commission appears to have done an
intelligent job. recognizing that a steady flow of Immi-

rather than a destructive element in the nation's future.

In March. 164*. President Hugh

Btalln. requesting hts opinion on
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's argument for speedy ac-
tion by the united notions In sei-
ning the Iranian case.
In reply. Sialln ducked He said
he could not admit Mr. Churchill's
arguments as convincing "Aa to
the question of the withdrawal of
Soviet troops from Iran.” Stalin
then replied with customary terse-
ness: "It Is known to have been
already settled positively by agree-
ment between the Soviet govern-
ment and the government of Iran.”
At about this same time. Eddy
Ollmore. Associated Press corre-
spondent In Moscow, aent three
questions to Stalin.
Btalln replied that he attached
great Importance to the UN. Its
strength was based on the aquallty
of states and not on the dom-
ination of one state. In other an-
swers Btalln said he waa convinced
no natlona or their armies were
aiming at a new war. To preserve
peace, all nations should organised

ALEXANDER WERTH of Man-
A (heater Ouardtan was the next
to take a crack at Stalin with a
questionnaire, later tn 1*48. To
Werth. Stalin replied that It was
absurd to say tHat western Europe's
Communists were taking direction
from Moscow ... A policy of using
eastern Oermany against western
Europe and the U. 8. would be
contrary to the Soviet Union's na-
tional Interests . . . Friendly and
lasting cooperation between the
Soviet Union and the west was
bound to continue.
The tone of this line changed
sharply when Btalln granted his
next Interview In October. 1*48
This was a planted questlon-and-
answer statement In Pravda Then
he regarded the united nations de-
bate on the Berlin blockade as ag-
gressiveness In the policy of Anglo-

council were lending their support
to this policy, he said.
