...Committee (TIME, Aug. 21) blaming Administration "blunders" for the U.S.'s hasty postwar demobilization, for "failing to recognize the true aims and methods" of Soviet Russia, for giving the Kremlin "a green light to grab whatever it could in China, Korea and Formosa." Snapped Democrat Tom Connally: "A document of complaint and quarrelsomeness." Added Connecticut's Brien McMahon: "These masters of hindsight seek to cut themselves in on the victories of our foreign policy and to divorce themselves from our defeats . . . The record shows that more than one-half of the Republican party has vigorously opposed ... the Greek...
...Peace?" Petition collectors, who had experienced a moment's dismay, swarmed over the U.S. with renewed zeal. The document they flourished was whomped up at a meeting of a Communist-sponsored something called the "World Committee of Peace Partisans" in Stockholm last March. Innocently worded, it simply condemned atomic bombing as aggression; it did not mention other kinds of aggression-like the Korean. At ballparks, in subways and factories, on street corners, the partisans solicited signatures. "Who isn't for peace? I'll sign," was the reaction of the guileless, the dupes, the muddled.

Without even waiting to see the Tydings report, McCarthy announced that it would be "a disgrace to the Senate." Unfortunately for him, however, there were other headlines being made these days...
Three weeks ago, East Germany's Communist Deputy Premier Walter Ulbricht signed a treaty with Communist Poland, formally ceding German territory east of the Oder and Neisse Rivers to Poland (TIME, June 19). Last week Ulbricht signed another agreement-with Communist Czechoslovakia. The document proclaimed as "permanent and just" the postwar expulsion of 2,000,000 Germans from the Sudetenland-the border region of Czechoslovakia which Hitler seized in 1938 and which was returned to Czechoslovakia at the war's end. Henceforth, declared the agreement, neither country would have any territorial claim on the other...
