Churchill Trade Results
rpHE ASSOCIATED Press sums up the Truman-Churchill
' conference as follows:
Churchill got (1) a “guarantee” of the right to purchase
a million tons of American steel, (2) a “written commit
ment” that the United States will not use its A-bomb bases
in England without first consulting the British Government,
and (3) a “specific agreement” for close American-British
•consultation on any developments increasing the danger of
war.
Truman got (1) British “endorsement” of the United
States’ Far Eastern policies, (2) an “agreement” on an At
lantic command under a United States admiral, and (3) “re-
affirmatiion” of British support of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and its tentative army. In addition, the United
States was promised unspecified amounts of tin and alumi
num from the British Far East, in return for the million tons
of American steel.
There are two noteworthy differences in the character
of the things obtained by Great Britain and those obtained
by the United States. Churchill obtained concessions aimed
primarily at strengthening the British homeland and guard
ing it against Russian aggression. Truman obtained conces
sions aimed primarily at bolstering our projects abroad, in
the Far East and Europe. Again, Churchill got very definite
commitments. We got general promises. Note above that
Britain got “a guarantee” (of a million tons of steel), a
“written commitment” and a “specific agreement.” We go
an “endorsement,” an “agreement” and a “reaffirmation.”
Only the agreement respecting the command of the fleet was
definite.
However, it would be unfair to Truman at this stage to
say that he was outtraded. The chief concern of Great Brit
ain today is safeguarding itself against extinction in event of
World War III. Our chief concern is avoidance of World War
III, wherever it may break. It is the price we must pay for
world leadership.
Any such conference must be proved by the way in which
it is carried out. And here Mr. Truman must be on his guard.
The things he granted are subject to very little future inter
pretation. The things granted by Churchill are subject to
much interpretation, except in the matter of command of the
Atlantic fleet. A year later we will be in better position to
appraise the results of this latest of historic conferences.
