prav nasprotna doktrini Zdruze-

socialisticnih in komunisticnih
drzav.
Tretjic, nova Trumanova dok-
trina je dosti podobna predvoj-
nemu "paktu proti kominterni,' -
XII so ga sklenile osiscne drzave.
Isto kot "pakt proti kominter-

oznacila veliko socialno previ-

the mood of the English speaking nations
between the two world wars. Both hoped
to avoid conflict with totalitarian theories
of government. In that respect they Ger
tainly represented most Of their con-
temporaries.
Baldwin saw the danger Of Hitler and
warned against it as early as 1884. But he
did not move fast enough to prevent the
ultimate denouement. The reason he was
slow in the circumstances was that Britain
was unready for positive action. When
finally his country took up the challenge
of the Nazis, he had retired and the
responsibility of leadership had passed to
Neville Chamberlain, from whom it was
transferred to Winston Churchill. 1t is
easy to be critical of all of these men now.
What in fairness should be conceded them
is the solemn truth that their short
comings, their mistakes of judgment, COM
monty were our own-the attitudes of
majorities on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Chest X-Ruy Survey

The Chest X-Ray Survey, which begins
In Washington next month, will represent
the greatest single effort ever made in the
examination of community for tubercu-
losis infection. It's success will require the
cooperation of all citizens. The objective
is so worth while that, if understood, this
cooperation will be forthcoming.
An attempt will be made to x-ray every
person living In Washington who is over
fifteen years old. Beginning on January
IL and lasting until June Is, 5000 persons
a day, and 10000 week, will be examined
When the survey is over about 100000 per-
sons will have been examined.
A committee of citizens, the two med
ical societies, the Health Department and
the Tuberculosis Association are working
together to perfect the details. Fourteen
X-ray machines, with their crews, will be
working in the Government departments,
private Office buildings, commercial estab-
lishments and residential areas. The ex-
aminations are brief, without risk to those
examined, and are made with minimum
of personal inconvenience.
Their purpose is to detect the presence
of infection and to notify those who are
found to be infected of what they should
do in the way of treatment. A successful
survey will save many lives. Furthermore,
it will represent great step in stamping
out a plague that through the ages has
been one of the greatest killers.
If the pattern revealed elsewhere runs
true to form here, about per cent OF those
neutrality-suspicious. 5000 in Washington
will be found suffering from some degree
of infection. Of this l per cent, about
80 per cent will show a minimal infection
which should respond to care and treat
ment. Twenty per cent will be advanced
cases which should receive disqualification.
Hospital facilities, however, are inadequate.
About 286 hospital beds in Washington
have been withdrawn from use now be-
cause of untitled personnel shortages. But
with identification and diagnosis some
care and treatment will be possible in cases
which today are not known.
For the most part, examinations will
be wholly voluntary. The exception may
be the $4,000 food handlers in Washington
who are required by law to undergo phys
ical examination But it is the voluntary
response on which the survey will stand
or fall for it's success. And the nature OF
this response will in large degree deter
mine the community's ability to work more
rapidly and effectively toward the eradica-
ton of a disease whose early detection
holds most promise of cure.

The Passing Of the Spy

Progress is wonderful thing, to be sure,
but few and insensitive are those VINO
experience no nostalgia twinge as they
watch the old order changing. The refer
ence here is not to politics Rather it is
to those brave human institutions which
once gave life such pageantry and still
spice the memory of it's former flavor. One
bv one. they are falling by the Wayside,
and nothing arises to take their place.
The lampughter is drowned in the wave
of the future; so is the chimney-SWeep.
Before them, it was the knight-in- armor
and the man who rode the pony express.
Tomorrow, when television catches on, it
NAV be the movie actor. Today, it is the
spy.
Let us face it: The spy, as we knew him,
is a thing of the past There was hint of
his demise last week in the public
description by House Armed Services
Subcommittee of the exact method by
which anybody with two atom bombs
or even with mere modern weapons
could wipe out our West Coast naval
installations Any foreign spy lurking in
this country must have felt pretty foolish
when that one came out. If his govern
ment could get this sort of information
from members of our Congress, what use
would it have for him?
The hint has since been confirmed in
sad advices from Europe, always the
theater of classic espionage 1t is not, OF
course, that the quest for international
secrets has been abandoned. No, the spy
appears to have suffered fate worse
than death. He has decayed Gone is the
long black cloak Cor the tight black dress
with dagger in sleeve or stocking, as the
case might be. Gone are the password
secret code, little black book and poison
vial. And in their place, according to such
recent accounts as that of Mr.. Lionel
Shapiro of the North American Newspaper
Alliance, is nothing but fat, respectable
businessman, buying and selling secrets
in the open market, Ibis calling card -
on file with the military intelligence Sec
lions of the foreign embassies"
This captain of Europe's second most
lucrative clandestine industry-the first is
the black market-never tries to dig out
secrets himself, according to Mr.. Shapiro.
He simply buys them, serving as middle
man between the poor who know something
and the rich who want to know something.
Totally without loyalty, he is in no danger
because both sides accept him and rely on
him.
And, says Mr.. Shapiro as If all this
were not enough, "the top dream of every
master spy is to make financial killing
and retire from business"
Dream, indeed! The spy we used to

Ideoloeical' Treason

To the Editor OF The Star:
How about Uncle Sam giving himself q
Christmas present of constitutional amend
ment defining a new kind of treason herein
after named Theological treason?
Armed with such weapon we would not
need to sit back supinely while Communists in
stitute a blockade of our interior economic
system, as they did In France and Italy re-
Gently.
An Theological traitor" differs from the
common or garden variety only in the fact
that he would betray us to some high sound
ing international" outfit while the ordinary
traitor betrays us to a national outfit. Where
is the difference in the long run? Both equally
are guilty of subversion, Of giving aid and
comfort to the enemy and OF paving the way
for our downfall in war and peace.
The number of ordinary traitors never has
been great. Ample laws and the Constitution
itself provide the remedy. But the number Of
theological traitors is legion, and may be In
creasing.
Suppose it did take year or two to get such
an amendment through; all the more reason
to start now.
Let's shake the snakes out Of the folds Of

The Hollywood characters recently under in
vestigation had a good deal to say about the
alleged abridgment of their right of free speech.
But the fundamental question Is whether COM
munism per sc Is movement or conspiracy
having as Its objective, or as one of its OBJ
jectives, the overthrow of the United States
Government. 1t is true there Is at present no
statute designating 1t as such or spot-ighting
its activities as ininical to American institu-
lions. 1t was the purpose of the investigation
to ascertain whether 1t is feasible or necessary
to enact such legislation. II the fact is estab-
lished that the activity or relationship is
inimical or reasonable, the act would so define
It, as other crimes are defined by statute.
And when this has been done, with suitable
deterrents provided, the police powers of the
Constitution would go into action.
Even in the absence of explicit words in the
Constitution, it would seem that the power is
inherent in any government to protect itself
from destruction. If this were not true the
government would be in bad way. The Su-
preme Court has held on numerous occa-
sions that such inherent powers do exist In
fact 1t was by virtue of such decisions, in
absence Of the letter of the Constitution itself,
that the Supreme Court, especially under the
leadership OF John Marshall perfected in our
system Of constitutional law the greatest bull
wark Of human liberties the world has ever
seen. r. A. RYLAND.
