Disraeli and Russia

TO the Editor Of The Star:
In reading the life of Disraen, by
Andre Maurois, I was impressed by
the parallel situations confronting Dis
raell and Russia in 1875 and President
Truman and Russia in 1947. In that
year Russia declared war on Turkey,
DisraeI warned Russia that England
would not remain neutral unless the
Car respected the three points indis-
pensable to the preserving of the En-
plre: The Suez Canal, the Dardaneues
and Constantinople.
There was nothing in the world which
Dlsraeh dreaded more than to see the
Russians in the Mediterranean. The
first axiom of British policy had
been the maintenance of free COM
munications with India and Australia.
These communications were only pos
sible through friendly Turkey. Dis
raeli had very exact recollections of the
outbreak of the Crimean War, on which
occasion he had seen how pacific man,
as Lord Aberdeen was, had let himself
be driven into war by his very dread of
war. The true means of safeguarding
peace seemed to Disraeli to be to draw
the precise line beyond which one would
not withdraw. An openly stated atti-
tude seemed desirable by Disraeli.
Whatever happens he wrote to the
Countess of Bradford, I'VE shall GER
tainly not drift into war, but 60 to
war, if we do, because we intend it
and have purpose we mean to ac-
complish. hope, however, Russia will
be sensible, and then we shall have
peace"
The infexibility of Disraeli not to
depart from the line drawn saw the
advance of the Russians into the Medi-
terranean checked and Turkey remain a
European power. The game was won
by England, completely won, and with
out the loss of single man, without
single rifle shot. w. E. MICKEY.
Comment on Red Hysteria'
To the Editor of The Star:
The American people are not the
only victims of this puerile "red" hys-
terra. British War Secretary F. J.
Bellenger has announced that that
country's infantry shall no longer wear
red uniforms because it might constitute
threat to the national security. The
new combination, blue and green, will
be sight for sore eyes.
Lucky for us that our color scheme
was designed for service rather than
to dazzle the eye. Think what conYer-

licans, by pursuing this course, will
avoid jumping into what for them
would be the ridiculous position of
voting for another year of deficit
spending.

history when we challenge the might
of Russia?
Does he believe it the duty OF the
United Nations or the United States
or of any nation to acquiesce in the
sucking in of country after country by
Russia when we have fought for the
freedom of nations?
We should have begun to stop this
greedy gobbling long before this. 1t
may now be too late.
The President is right. We should
stand shoulder to shoulder behind him.

Champions American Artists
To the Editor of The Star:
Recent publicity about the National
Gallery of Art prompts a few remarks.
1t seems singular that this most Ameri-
can OF galleries should give so little
attention to American artists. To make
it worse, the few Americans there are
treated apologetically and with cool
condescension by the gallery lecturers.

CONTROLLING THE FLOOD OF HATRED

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE YMCA MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE

The Negro business of Jackson, as well as Negro
citizens generally offord to overlook misunder
stond the great mpor of the first real membership
compoqn of the Forish Street Bronch YMCA which got
underway here Tuesday, scheduled to fifteen Days
ending on April 18th, with its goal of minimum of 1000
members and minimum of $4,000 with which to carry
on, extend and broaden the YMCA program.
1t is perhaps of the greatest importance that Negro
business and Negro citizens generally be mode to
understand this compoign that when Community Chest
support was granted the Forish Street Branch YMCA
far greater responsibility thon that assumed by the Com
munty Chest was placed upon Negro business men and
the Negro public generally that the amount of money
ceved from the Community Chest whether as respects
the Forish Street Branch YMCA any other YMCA, is
intended to meet only part of the cost of maintenance
operating and expanding the YMCA program; that the
sponsiby for rosng the money needed and above
that provided through the Community Chest rest upon
those who understand and voue the Community need of
YMCA and its program.
Another aspect of the importance of the compoign
of is that it provides the first real opportunity for indie
pendent demonstration of of civic and commun
ty responsibility 1t is perhaps well to olso say here that
YMCA membership compoigns come every year.
In regard to growing youth delinquency, every fomily
in which there boys who wish to bring them into con-
toct with the wholesome aspects of christian life
and LIVING should see TO their joining the YMCA

At this time his small bust
ness committee is launching a
probe into the newsprint short

pious as he outlines how he's going to
get to the bottom of the whole thing.
The little publisher. the labor paper
editor and the printers of community
papers are the sufferers in the plot Of
United States monopoly to choke off
competition and hog the %newsprint
supply.
But Wherry isn't going to make the
task appear simple. He has appointed
as his chief counsel one Ray Dickey.

grocers in the fight on price control
and OPA. Dickey's work for the pack
ers and food interests attracted Wher-
rvs eye-and won him the committee
spot, 10 now he's arranging the list
of witnesses and program for the i'm
v~estigation OF newsprint.'
As a starter the committee will hear
from Cranston Williams. chief of the
American Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation. and then go all out into the
problems of the box car shortage.
1t seems that Wherry believes the
boxcar shortage is to blame for the
shortage of paper, not the fact that
the giant publishers have pretty well
sewn up the supplies.
