Russian Gold Bruid

The respondent black-and-gold
diplomatic uniforms which Ambas-
sador Andrei A. Gromyko and his
aides displayed at the Soviet En-
bassy's celebration of the twenty
seventh anniversary of the Bolshe-
vik revolution this week have
significance transcending their mere
interest as society item.
They are surface indication of
change in Soviet theology which
has been marked since the middle
1905. They indicate a revival of
Russian nationalism which con-
trasts sharply with the internation-
alism of Communism as preached
by its arch disciples, Lenin and
Trotsky, in the turbulent days which
followed the downfall of tsarism.
In the Soviet Classics state" of
the 1920's, every effort was made to
obliterate all marks of official dis
tinction. Red Army officers, for in
stance. could be distinguished from
enlisted men only by modest red
tab on their collars with small bars
and diamonds to indicate their rank.
The sanctity of the family as the
basic unit of social organization was
openly sneered at, while Russian
history books were rewritten to give
children the impression that every
thing that had happened in Russia
before November 7, 1918, was merely
an unimportant and inglorious
prelude to the creation Of the Soviet
Union.
On the completion of the first
"flve-year plan" in 1888, however,
and concurrent with an improve
ment in Russia's economic status,
marked changes began to occur in
the theology of Soviet leaders. Some
observers Of the Soviet scene believe
that Joseph Stain personally was
responsible for them.
To the amazement of the old Boil
sheviks, the Soviet press, dominated
by the Kremlin, began an editorial
campaign to glorify the sanctity of
the family. Schoolbooks were re-
written again to give children =
more realistic picture of Russian
history and Of the outside world.

courage. Samuel Rutherford wrote:
When am In the cellar of af1lic-
ton, I reach out for the Kings wine"
Second, we must identify ourselves
with our high moods and not with
our low moods. We have low moods
when we are sordid and sullen, sus-
picious and stupid-the green mood
of jealousy, the red mood of anger,
the black mood Of despair, and the
yellow mood of cowardice. We have
these moods Of rebellion when re-
sentfully we cry out against the
world. In these moods we are not
at our best.
We do have our high moods when
we are happy and hopeful. generous
and gentle. To all Of us come moods
of insight and inspiration when we
are devoted and dedicated to what is
good and true and beautiful. In
these moods we are at our best.
With which moods shall we iden-
tify ourselves? Two mothers lose
their sons In the war. One mother
gives way to her sorrow, becomes
discouraged, and is always despond-
ent. The other mother, sustained by
her faith in God, is calm and COM
forted; therefore she Is able to keep
up her courage. One mother iden-
titles herself with a low mood and
becomes discouraged. The other
mother Identifies herself with q high
mood and becomes courageous. II
We want to keep up our courage, II
we want to live q more creative life,
we need to identify ourselves with
our high moods.
Third, we must have a greater
faith in God II We feel we can
depend only upon ourselves and per-
haps 1 few friends to meet any even
tuality Of each day, our strength is
limited. But If we possess the con-
viction that We can depend not only
upon ourselves and our friends but
also upon God, a living God, a God
who is revealed in Jesus Christ, then
our inner strength is enlarged and
our courage greatly enhanced.
THE everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not nor is weary. He CIV
eth power to the faint and to him
that hath no might He increaseth
strength"

Keeping Up orr Courage


We need to keep up our courage.
Almost before we know 1t We ind
ourselves walking through the valley
of the shadow Of death, or we jour-
ney through the vale Of q lingering
illness, or we take our way through
great disappointment by reason of
blasted ambition. We are dis
heartened by shattered hopes, dis
mayed by broken plans, discouraged
by the greed and selfishness about us.
The war comes and our sons and
daughters, our husbands and wives
leave flor the service Of our country.
Amid experiences like these we need
real courage.
We will not obtain this courage
simply by wishing for 1t. Real cour-
age is not gained by wishful thinking.
The wish is the first step, but the
wish must be made to come alive in
q will to work for 1t. The desire
must become q determination, and
the determination must become a
discipline.
~ ~
What are some of the conditions
by which we can keep up our cour-
age? First, we must accept the
responsibility for our own moods.
The center of any courageous faith,
the core OF any creative living can
be found in our own moods When
we face trouble, when sickness comes
our way and sorrow becomes our lot,
we are likely to become discouraged
and respondent. We place the re-
sponsibility for this encouragement
and dependency upon circumstances,
upon other people. or even upon God.
The thing we need to see is that the
decisive element in any situation is
not the situation itself, but our reac-
ton to the situation. The deter
mining factor in any event Is not the
event SO much as 1t Is the response
to the event. What counts most In
life is not what the world does to
us, but what we, by our moods and
our attitudes, do to our world
Depressing circumstances need not
make a depressed person; discour-
aging conditions need not make a
discouraged person. In fact, the
more depressing the time, the more
we need to manage our moods. The
more discouraging the experience,
the more We need to keep up our

A Peace Question

1t seems reasonable to assume
that the resignation of Premier Saed
and his cabinet In Iran has been
brought about, at least in part, by
the strong criticism aimed at them
recently from Moscow. Occasion for
the criticism was the Saed regimes
refusal to give immediate considera-
ton to Soviet request for oil con-
cessions, a refusal which promptly
won such open displeasure from
Russia that it became clear that the
Iranian government would have to
be revised if it wanted to be on
friendly terms with its great neigh
Dor to the north.
In some respects, Moscows atti-
tude in this case bears at least a
surface resemblance to our official
attitude toward the Argentine gov
eminent, but there are important
differences, chief of them being that
we are not seeking any concessions
in Argentina and that our policy
in respect to Buenos Aires has been
worked out in consultation with the
other American republics and pre-
sumably with Britain as well. In
respect to the Saed regime, how
ever, Russia appears to have brought
pressure to bear unilaterally, even
though Saed, whether his position
was sound or not, seems to have had
some American and British support
for his decision.
Although its Importance can easily
be exaggerated, the upset Of the
Saed government thus leaves an UNI
fortunate in PRESTON. Rightly or

A Soldering Reality

mere IN America, Tar from the
sight and sound of war and amid a
lovely Indian summer, most of us,
In our safe and comfortable sur
roundings, tend to be perhaps too
cheerful or too complacent when
we follow the news of the great VIC
tories being won by our own and
Allied forces all over the world. The
military outlook is so bright and
the desperation of the enemy so real
that there is an inclination among
us to think that the task ahead will
be relatively easy and that the worst
OF the blood, tears, toll and sweat is
at an end.
A measure of this optimism is, of
course, justified. but too much of it
most certainly is not. For there is
one SOLDERING reality that ought not
to be forgotten by any of us, a real
lty that is kind of paradox-the
reality that the more we succeed.
the harder we shall probably have
to work and fight. This is so for
two reasons: First, because the
greater the advance they make, the
greater the supplies our troops will
need to exploit it swiftly, and Sec
ond, because the closer we come to
the heart of Germany and Japan,
the bitterer, the fiercer, is the en-
emy's resistance likely to be.
From the standpoint of home
front effort, War Mobilization Di-
rector Byrnes has just made the
point graphically clear. I'VE must
not let pride in our accomplish
ments blind us to our needs" he
says. At this very moment, not be-
cause of failure, but because they
nave been so successful, because
they are months ahead of their
timetable, our armed forces urgently
require certain vital equipment, es-
peclally heavy artillery and mortar
shells. Against Germany General
Eisenhower is already dipping into
his reserve supplies, and in the
Philippines, during this month of
November alone, General Macarthur
will use as much l05-MM ammuni-
ton as he did throughout the whole
OF last year. AS result, according
to Mr.. Byrnes, items not scheduled
Tor production until next March
must be obtained from our arms
factories right now and must be
shipped to the fronts with the
utmost speed
Similarly, from the standpoint of
the men who must do the fighting
and dying, Secretary of War Stim-
son warns that the hardest battles
may yet have to be fought, for the
enemy is still strong, still resource
ful and doubly dangerous because
he feels the desperation of a trapped
animal. Our Army and Navy cas-
ualty figures-which now stand off,
cially at almost $4,000, including
close to 10000 known dead-bear
grim witness to what Mr.. Stimson
says, having jumped more than
100000 to their present total within
the past two months, months of
great successes almost everywhere.
Clearly, all too clearly, victory
does not come cheap; the greater
1t becomes, in fact, the greater its
costs seem to grow. The reality is
one that should sober everybody
here at home, making us fully un-
derstand that, short of a sudden
collapse in Germany and Japan, the
rest OF the war will be far from easy
and may. indeed, be more violent
and bloody-even though much more
short lived-than all that has gone
before. In any event, it is certainly
too early to assume otherwise.

Progress for De GouIIe


has been invited to full membership
on the European Advisory Commits
sion, coupled with the Armistice Day
visit to Paris by Prime Minister
Churchill, marks an important adj
vance in the politico- diplomatic
field for General Charles de Gaulle
and his provisional government.
AS member of the Advisory Com
mission. France will acquire an in
fiuential voice in the formulation of
the peace terms to be imposed on
Germany. It is also reasonable to
assume that this move is prelimi-
nary to a formal invitation to
France to assume place on the
postwar security council proposed in
the Dumbarton Oaks recommends
tions.
Presumably Mr.. Churchill will
discuss all Of these questions with
General de Gaulle during his visit
to Paris. Military matters will not
be neglected, because the war in
Europe goes on. Despite German
tenacity in the field and the "V"
bombardments, however, victory Is
assured within a measurable period,
and the conduct Of the war, there
fore, probably will be of secondary
Importance in the forthcoming dis
cusSionS.
Those discussions, so far as Paris
is concerned, should have two gen.
eral aspects. One of these is doubt
less to prepare the ground for the
meeting of the Big Three
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stain
which we are assured will take place

tai, with General de Gaulle attend
ing. But whether or not Paris will
be the chosen spot, certain it is that
liberated France should logically
play a much greater role than has
been the case in previous major con-
ferences.
Besides this wider international
aspect, the talks between Churchill
and De Gaulle will undoubtedly be
concerned largely with Franco
British relations and with their
bearing upon a new politico -diplo-
matte alignment in Western Europe
which seems to be potentially in the
making. Perhaps the most vital
problem of British foreign policy is
how to assure itself place in the
postwar world commensurate with
the position Of, the United States
and the Soviet Union Some of the
outstanding spokesman for Britain
and the empire see the accomplish
ment of this aim in the creation
of West European bloc closely as
ISOLATED with. the British Common
wealth of Nations. The Belgian
government is heartily in favor of
the idea, with the governments of
Holland and Norway seemingly on
the same side. But France is, of
course, the indispensable corner
stone on the continent for any such
arrangement, and the attitude of
France is as yet far from certain.
1t may be reasonably surmised,
therefore, that Mr.. Churchills mis-
sion is to explore the situation with
General de Gaulle and the provi-
sional government of France, incl
dentally strengthening the prestige
of that regime by his presence and
the support that Britain may be
prepared to offer in case an under
standing can be evolved.

Many comparable improvements were
made by colonial governments of other
powers In the East. But there was a
difference, difference in attitude
toward the natives which undoubtedly
is paying dividends in loyalty now. The
Filipino was taught in his public schools
that men are born equal, theory that
was neither expounded nor encouraged
by European colonial governments in
the East. An important part Of the
mission entrusted to American gov
ernor generals was to help the Filipino
stand on his own feet and be q free
man, with promise Of gaining his even
tual independence as 4 nation Is soon
as he was ready for 1t.
That independence was just around
the corner-four and . halt years were
yet to run-when the Japs struck. But
future independence which would cut
the Filipino loose from the relative Sc
curity Of economic dependence on the
free markets Of the United States was
becoming matter of concern to all
thinking Filipinos, who contemplated
the prospect as q dangerously mixed
blessing.
We have promised them Independence
anew as soon as the Japs are expelled
and the islands are recovered from the
effects Of the invasion. But there are
many friends Of the Filipinos, as well
as many Filipinos themselves, who are
thinking less Of national Independence
these days than they d Of the new
