ssay Stalemate N OW, four years after World War II, we have achieved a worldwide stale¬ mate. The chaos, destruction, “blood, sweat, and tears’’ of actual warfare are behind us, but is this peace? David Bernstein aptly calls it “.the Cold Peace,. . . . the not-war of the late 1940’s.” It is compounded of a series of stale¬ mates backed by the steely firmness of Russia and the United States. The two greatly divergent economic systems, American capitalism and Russian nationalistic socialism are not in any period of collapse. There has been no sharp and serious depression in America; she has even furthered her system by Marshall Plan aid. Russia’s gamble on a quick boom and bust in America has failed. The result — stalemate. The situation in Europe approaches a balance of power. Idle line between East and West runs clearly through Europe. Russia has been able to take over Czechoslovakia, but the non-Communist forces have won out in France and Italy. Only in Austria and Germany are there potential trouble spots, but these are subject to frontier revision. Again . . . stalemate. A similar situation exists in Asia. Russia has on her side Soviet Asia, northern Korea, and now China. But, unless we are criminally negligent, we have on our side southern Korea, Japan, the Philippines and southern Asia, including India and Turkey. It is apparent that the United States is not morally prepared to drop atomic bombs on Russia or she woidd have done so already. Within a few years, it is true, Russia will also have the Bomb, and there is a possibility that the Kremlin, lacking such scruples, will use it. This is possible, yes, but is it probable? In World War I the Germans experimented with poison gas, but by World .War II chemical warfare weapons were so highly developed that neither side ventured to use them. In the case of the Bomb, our use of it on japan may be comparable to the Germans’ experimentation with poison gas; and the Bomb is likely to join that little group of weapons so horrible, so uncontrollable, so unpredictable, that nobody will be ready to use them. So, we would appear to have a stalemate in weapons also. The myth of the unplanned incident has long since been exploded. There are, of course, trouble spots all over the world: Palestine, Berlin, Greece, southeast Asia, and more. These, although some are violent and vexing, have remained isolated, and their threat to world peace has been contained. Thus, there is no reason to believe these trouble spots will lead to an outbreak of worldwide total war. This is not a healthy peace, but it is far better than war — because, as long as the Cold Peace lasts, there is always the chance to build a warm peace. It is still perfectly possible to build a stronger edifice of world peace by continuing our vigilance and pressure. We must continue to reject the isolationist’s Utopia and step forward with the plan for a new, better One World. If a world government cannot include the whole world, then it can at least, under American initiative, be sovereign over so vast a part of the world the U. S. S. R. will not dare to chal¬ lenge it. At this point the Cold Peace will become warm, and w r e can then have more right to hope than at any previous time within the recollection of living men that there will be no war at all. JUSTINF.
