And a little later on the brakes write: It is a
fact that today the United States is virtually
helpless against such an attack with atomic
weapons) and that we have been sliding at
increasing speed towards a military impo-
tence that is an open invitation to disaster.
The brakes touch on the dangerous the
ory that there will be no atomic war be-
cause it would be too horrible-that no ma
ton would bring itself to employ so fiendlsh
a means of destruction. They say in reply
to this attitude: Let us not forget that
there has never been a weapon invented IN
human history, from arrows to flame throw
ers, that has not been used to the utmost OF
its capacity. If we, a tolerant and enllghten-
ed nation, could bring ourselves to drop
atom bombs on the homeland of an enemy
are we prepared, in the absence Of an Ell
fective international police force, to rely
solely on moral force to prevent an enemy
from dropping bombs on us?"
That is the terrifying question. 1t IS
clearly a question that the United States
must answer-and soon.

The Hollywood Inquiry

Columnists and reporters have had some
treason to launch Parthian darts at the con-
gressional investigation of communist in
fluence in the moving picture industry,
which indeed brought some cinema used
Ito-wasers back into the limelight. But it
has not been wholly useless.
It has brought at least four valuable facts
Into the open. AS summarized by Roscoe
|Drummond of the Christian Science Moni-
tors Washington staff, these are:
l. Communists and their sympathizers
have obtained strategic highly paid writ
ing positions with the movies.
2. Even though they apparently thus far
have introduced no significant %subversive
propaganda into films, they certainly can
not be counted on not to do so. The sooner
the industry gets rid of them, the better.
3. This group of still unknown proper
tons of 500, 0OO-a-year Hollywood Com
munists provides a lush well from which
the American Communist Party obtains
needed finances to enable it to carry on
both it's visible and hidden activities.
4. The movie industry has been usefully
put on guard against the Communist in
filtrators, and while the producers will
rightly resist any Government pressure to
censor the screen which would be as
much an invasion of free speech as cen
soring the newspapers-they will be more
alert to free themselves from Communist
influences.
Certain of Mr.. Drummond's facts cannot
be overemphaisized. He is right in saying
that there is no assurance that subverslve
propaganda will not be introduced IN pic
lures. He is probably right in declaring the
Communist party finds Hollywood a rich
source of revenue for its activities. 1t can
only be hoped that the industry, now proper
ly alerted, will take all necessary steps
to free itself from communist influences.
If managers and producers are not ca
pable of doing this, the financiers whose
capital is poured SO lavishly into hollywood
SURELY should take over, especially as COM
munism is opposed to capitalism.

Question Begs Answer

A great deal is being written about the
startling decline in the size and potency of
our military forces. On VI Day, we had
the most powerful Army-Navy-Air Force
team on earth. Now, two years later, we have
a good but undermined Navy, a small Army
with a handful of understrength, green d.
visions, and, according to the experts, pratt
cally nothing in the way of a modern Air
Force.
One of the most thought-provoking- arti-
cles on the possible significance of this leads
off the October issue of the Atlantic Month
ly. Written bv Francis and Katherine Drake,
it is called "Our Next Pearl Harbor?" And
it's tone is found in this sentence: "Our land
lies naked before a weapon which, in the
words of the Smyth Report, rs potentially
destructive beyond the widest nightmares
of the imagination: a weapon so ideally suit
ed to sudden, unannounced attack that E
sountry's major cities might be destroyed
overnight by an ostensibly friendly power

THE WAR

Though everywhere in Europe
every one talks about war, what
virtually all Europeans are pre-
pairing for is not to fight a war
but how as individuals, COM
munities, and nations they can
sit out a war if it comes.
The Germans are a special
and very complicated case
which I shall try to deal with
in another article. I have some
doubts about Tito. For though
1 did not 60 to Yugoslavia I
found that even in eastern Eu-
rope among his Slav brothers
he was regarded with some mis-
giving - much as the German
general staff regarded Musso-
lini-as capable of forcing their
hand in adventures of his own.
But elsewhere, in tn nations
which would really matter in
case of war, the conviction has
settled in that they can do moth
ing about it, that they will be
ruined if it occurs, that they
cannot afford to arm, that in
a conflict between the Russian
infantry and the American air
forces it is not worth arming.

Start Saving Paper Now

Here is a drive that will not cost a single
person a penny 1t does involve a little prep
aration and some boarding, but that is all.
On November % the Junior Chamber of
Commerce is to engage in a waste paper
collection. All you individually lave to do
is to put your contribution at the curb in the
morning.
OF course you are urged to tie old news
papers and magazines into bundles for easy
handling and place scrap paper in contain
ers. This will speed the work, which means
a good deal in itself as there are many
streets to be traversed by the trucks and
time saved en- route will speed the work.
The undertaking well deserves citywide
cooperation, especially as the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce devotes the proceeds from
paper drives and all other of it's money
raising efforts to worthwhile projects.

WASHINGTON, - Warnings
pile up that the ERP, or Eu-
ropean Recovery Plan, is head
ed for a rough reception when
Congress convenes Nov. II. Sen
ator Taft's critical comments
are just an advance sample.
Much of the opposition will be
based on what are now consider
ed to be the completely I'm
reasonable expectations of til e
Is European countries. Their
demands are presented to
American officials in terms
about like these:
The U. S. has three courses
of action it an follow in help
ing western Europe get back on
it's feet.
First, the U. S. can support
Europe with a four-year plan for
full recovery. By 1852, the U. S.
will then have a working Eu-
ropean economy with which it
can do business. Both Europe
and America stand to profit
from this trade recovery.
Second, the U. S. can cut back
on this program and deal with
war-torn Europe on a relief
basis only. That would m e a n
furnishing merely the food and
fuel necessary to keep Europe
ans alive. Their economic saliva
ton would be up to them. The
inference here is that it would
take much longer than four
years for Europe to recover.
The third choice is for the U.
S. to do nothing, taking the po-
sition that this country cannot
afford to aid in European re-
covery without jeopardizing the
American economy. In that
case, Europe goes down the rat
hole.
Exactly what will happen if
Europe is allowed to indulge in
"Operation Rat : hole," is not
specified. 1t is left to the imagi-
nation, which always magnifles
horrible details. The Europ e a n
experts may not know the ans
wer themselves, in the same
sense that they don't know how
accurate are their estimates of,
need in the Paris Report on
Economic Cooperation. They're
just guessing.
But their fear is that many
European governments could
not survive. Their only chance
would be to reduce their stand
ard of living to 1900 calories a
day and hang on by the skin
of their intestines.
In this situation they feel they
would be easy pickings for the
Communists. In their under
nourished condition, the western

The State of Mississippi seems
to have decided to rejoin tn e
Union, with it's election of Cir
cult Judge John S. Stennis to the

the late and unlamented Theo-
dore C. Bilbo.

has sent to the legislative halls
in Washington a man of dignity

rabble-rousers who were cen

alive John Rankin and Forrest
Jackson, both loud and raucous
champions of white suprem-
acy" in its most extreme a d
noxious form.
The 46-year-old junior Senator
from Mississippi is a University
of Virginia law graduate. He
made a temperate campaign,
and refused to stoop to the bill
%lingsgate and demagoguery
which have been so grievously
prevalent in many Mississippi
canvasses. Like Representative
Colmer, the runner-up, Judge
Stennis declined to beat the TOM
toms of race hatred; he content

Rough Going Ahead

Europeans envislon the Soviet
government moving in with
enough food to stave off star
walton, even if the necessary
relief supplies would have to be
taken away from the Russian
people.
Having reduced the situation
to this extremity, the European
experts go back to what it will
take to bring about full 1e-
covery.
Aside from the two principal
rrelief requirements of wheat
and coal, emphasis is put on
three items-steel, shipping, and
the purchase of supplies from
other countries, principally
Latin America. The Europeans
want the U. S. to finance all
three.
The U. S. hasn't any too much
steel for it's own needs today,
but the Europeans want the U.
S. to restrict it's own consumpt-
ion. and it's normal exports to
other parts of the world, in
order OF make up Europe's def
cit need of nearly three million
tons a year for the next four
years.
Some of this steel would 60 to
European shipyards to build up
their merchant marine. ALI Eu-
ropean trading nations want to
get back their world shipping
business. They figure it will take
four years to rebuild their fleets.
In the meantime they want the
U. S. to haul some 70 million
tons of their relief supplies and
pay the ST. billion freight bill.
The fact that the U. S. now
has some 1900 surplus Liberty
and Victoryl ships, which
it would gladly sell cheap, is
ignored. Europeans don't W t
them. They want new ships OF
their own building to compete
with the American merchant
marine. And they want the U.
S. to furnish much of the steel
to help build up that competi-
ton.
That, however, is peanuts
when compared with the laid
from the rest of the American
continents" which it is expected
the U. S. will pay for. The u.
S. share of the four-year ERP
is now put at 1904 billion, seal
ing down from Sc billion in 1948
to $4.3 billion in 1851. Aid from
the rest of the American CONT
nent totals SAB billion for the
four years.
This is the bale of straw that
will probably break the
elephants and the donkey's
backs when the ERP gets before
Congress.

The. remedy, it seems to me,
is almost self-evident. 1t is to
find a way of stating clearly

stice line would be an act Of
war; that the armistice is not
within the jurisdiction of the Sc
