The World
This Week
By Virgiia Raysor
Events on all fronts have been
taking place thick and fast during
recent weeks. Action in the Pacific
proves that the Japanese home is
lands have been completely block
aded by U. S. air and sea power
even before redeployment from the
European to the Asiatic theater has
been more than well started.
Perhaps the $65 question of the
week is "Who can tell all the new
cabinet appointees which President
Truman has made during the last
few days? For your information
here they are: Treasury, Fred
I Moore Vinson, who replaces Ilenry
Morgent hau; State, Jimiy ' F.
B3yrnes, who replaces Edwat d Stet.

Attorney General, Thomas Clark,
who replaces Francis Biddle; Post

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
Owen J. Roberts, has also resigned,
but no successor has been named.
President T-uman and Jimmy
Byrnes are on their way to Berlin
for the meeting of the Big Three
Conference, the first since the close
of the war in Europe and the first
since Roosevelt's death. During the
President's absence the Senate will
begin debate on the United Nations
Charter, drawn up at San Francis
co. Hearing begins Monday, but on
1)' eight Senators have asked to
speak against it. In presenting the
Charter last week, the President
made the statement, "There is a .
time for plans, and there is a time 1
for action. The time for action is I
now!
Proponents for the Charler make
no extravagant claims for it. The
central theme of their whole de
hate is, in the words of Comdr. Ilar
old E. Stassen, "only one step in
the whole field of our world policy.
