General Denikin

The Bolshevik propaganda has misrep-
resented General Anton Ivanovich Denikin
so grossly that even conservative writer's
have been persuaded to deal with him less
fairly than he merited. He was born the
son of serf, was trained in the imperial
army in the days when such training was
rigorous in the extreme, rose from captain
to colonel in the war with Japan and
was commander in chief OF the Russian
forces on the southwestern front during
the First World War The revolution of
1917 drove him to the right" with Korni-
Low, and he was arrested and imprisoned
with that leader in Bykov, allegedly on the
orders Of Kerensky How the two escaped
always has been a question. In any case
they did manage to join Alexeyev on the
Don and to associate themselves with him
in the White movement against the soviets.
Kornilov's death on March 81, 1918, made
Denikin the military head of the campaign.
He defeated the Reds in the northern
Caucasus in February Of the following year
and gradually extended his operations

Men Against the Sea

Although the novel Kon-Tiki raft expe-
dltion has ended on coral reef in the
South Pacific, its sponsors have the salts
faction of knowing that their main objec-
tive has been achieved. This objective was
to show that it was possible for pre-Incan
blond inhabitants of South America to
cross to Polynesia by raft or other crude
sailing vessel This possibility lends sup
port to the theory that the natives of
some of the far Pacific islands originally
came from the American continent.
To demonstrate their theory, six young
Norwegian scientists set out from Peru
more than three months ago on twenty
f1ve-foot-long balsa wood raft. Their only
motive power was an ungainly sail and
prevailing ocean currents. Keeping in
touch with civilization by means of radio,
the occupants of the raft reported their
generally uneventful progress until dis
aster overlook them last week. The raft
Is wrecked, but the hardy navigators are

motu Archipelago.
The Kon-Tiki voyage ended In the man.
ner that members of the expedition believe
that some pre-1ncan raft journeys may
have ended. Their theory as expressed
before their departure, is that the ancient
mariners from Peru not only helped to
colonize some of the Polynesian islands,
but transplanted certain fruit and vege-
tables there. The Norwegians carried
similar South American seeds and plants
to take ashore with them.
The immediate problem, of course, is
the rescue of the crew of the raft. For
tunately, they managed to salvage their
little radio transmitter, so that they can
guide craft to the scene of the wreck The
full results of the trip will not be known
until the men are back. The fact that the
scientists, without major injury to them
selves, succeeded in crossing more than
four thousands miles of ocean with no
more modern equipment than was possess
sed by Peruvian sailors of fifteen hundred
years ago is sufficient proof Of the point
which they set out to establish, however.

We Sturt to Bolster Turkey

Official disclosure that the first shipment
OF supplies in our program to strengthen
| Turkey by arms and equipment is being
made ready focuses attention upon that
| aspect of the growing crisis in the Near
| and Middle East.
This Is the first official announcement
regarding the implementation of the policy
proclaimed by President Truman last
March ito support free peoples who are
resisting attempted subjugation by armed
mlnorities or by outside pressure The
SPECIFIC objectiveS of that policy were
Greece and Turkey, and Congress even
tually granted the $40O0O0,O00 asked for by
the President to bolster those nations.
The understanding has been that $780,
OOO,O 900 of that sum was earmarked for
| Turkey and that all of it was to be spent
for arms and equipment, in contrast to
| Greece, where considerable portion of
| the balance was designed for economic re-
habilitation and other nonmilitary pur-
poses.
| Aid to Greece started some time ago
and is being stepped up as that country's
critical situation becomes more apparent
Now it is Turkeys turn, and it is under
stood that assistance will go forward
henceforth in accelerated volume
There are two interpretations of this
move. One is that it can be construed as
the normal result of report recently
rendered by Maj. Gen. Lunsford E. Oliver
on his return from an onthe-Spot survey
OF Turkish needs. AS a result of that re-
port, the War Department now has a
detailed knowledge of just what Turkey
requires and in what order it should be
sent. The first shipment is understood to
be some $50000O worth of modern road
building equipment to repair strategic
highways A preliminary breakdown of
the Oliver recommendations reveals a list
so comprehensive as to include almost all
items needed to moderniZe the Turkish
Army, Navy and Air Force, together with
wide variety of supplementary require
ments, from machine tools and arsenals
to improvement of communica tions and
port facilities
The second Interpretation, which may
we'll dovetail with the first, is that our
State Department has knowledge which
spells increased urgency for speeding up
aid to Turkey. The Oliver report naturally
facilitates this process. News regarding
Turco-Soviet relations has been scanty
during recent months, but the fact that
Turkey has remained on virtual war foot
ing despite the crushing economic drain
which this entails does not indicate any
lessening of the pressure from Moscow.
The logical inference is that Turkey needs
our aid as much as ever-perhaps more
so. And that aid is now avowedly going
forward

Circus Leaves Town

No great sense of loss will attend the
announcement by Senator Ferguson that
the investigation of Howard Hughes and
his wooden airplane has been put off until
November II.
Mr. Hughes distills from this announce
n1ent a sort of personal vindication. He
predicts that the hearing will never be
revived, and he accuses Senator Brewster
of being "too cowardly to stay here and
face the music" Senator Brewster, who
has been charged with using the investiga-
ton as an instrument for coercing Mr..
Hughes, replied somewhat irrelevantly
from the seclusion of his Maine vacation
spot that the Hollywood magnate and
airplane builder had taken the initiative
in asking the committee sto drop the
inquiry.
From Senator Ferguson, chairman of
the subcommittee actually conducting the
investigation has come the explanation
that the inquiry has been postponed
because of inability to locate missing
witness, and, more plausibly, because the
subcommittee members want to get out
of town and do not want to come back
before November.
Whatever the real reason for the sudden
decision to call off the show the develop
ment is one which should be welcomed
For the performance was anything but
creditable to the participants.
The announced purpose of the investiga-
ton was to look into the SAC, 600 900 of
wartime plane contracts awarded Mr.
Hughes to see whether the taxpayers got
run for their money. Presumably by
way of stimulating office appeal this
announcement was accompanied by broad
hints that the show would be spiced with
the appearance of several glamorous Holly
wood party girls. Neither of these expecta-
tions has been fulfilled. The hearing might
as we'll not have been held so far as the
matter of developing any information on
the Hughes-Kaiser plane-building efforts
was concerned. And the girls, for all any
one knows, are still in Hollywood
There is no need to dwell upon the
unfortunate aspects of this affair There
Is every reason, certainly, to investigate
war contracts awarded under circum-
stances attending those in which the
committee professed to be interested. But
nothing constructive can come from such
an investigation when it is conducted in
such way as to bur1esque the whole affair
and 20 give the impression that the main
purpose is to search for partisan political
ammunition. The result of this is to dis
credit the investigation in the public mind
and give the witnesses an opportunity to
turn the inquiry into farce That Is
what happened in this instance, and that
Is why there will be few regrets as the
circus leaves town.
