The Hope for Peace

The exchange of long-range invective IN
the world-particularly between Russia
and the United States-has now boiled
up to such a degree of virulence that 1t
can hardly become much worse. The big
question is whether it will exhaust itself
or keep on and on through the years until
it explodes into physical violence.
A despairing view comes easily enough.
How can nations persist in hurting increas-
ingly sharp insults at each other without
eventually coming to blows? Name-calling
may never hurt anybody, but how long can
it continue before one or another power is
goaded into throwing sticks and stones?
# the snarling does not begin to abate
soon, what can the world look forward to
but a future of irreconcilable differences
needing only a single ugly incident to
make armed conflict irrepressible?
But there is another possibility and the
time is not yet here to dismiss it. 1t is
this: That international nerves have been
rubbed raw by the war and by the terrible
problems of the wars aftermath, and that
the harsh and bitter talk we hear now, the
angry charge and countercharge, the
dangerous jockeying for dominant posi-
tions of power, will all begin to calm down
as the worlds nervous system moves back
to normal This may prove to be too hope
full view, but still the moment is not at
hand for any of us to surrender to the
bleak belief that peoples and governments
are so lacking in wisdom and sanity that
they cannot check and reverse the present
trend, cannot put an end to the growing
fear and hate, before it is too late to
prevent an all-engulf1ng catastrophe.
AS of today, certainly, it is inconceivable
that any major power wants to fight The
great nations-no matter how their inter-
ests clash-need peace, a long peace, to
recover from the awful physical and psy-
Geological wounds of the Second World
War Behind governments, moreover, be-
hind even iron-fisted relationships like
Russia's, there is a growing popular aware
ness that armed conflict, with A-bombs
and kindred weapons of mass annihilation,
has reached about the last limit of human
endurance-a point where it can mean de-
feat agony and death for all. This aware
ness, of course. is not sure guarantee
against disaster, but at least it should tend
strongly to discourage violence and impel
statesmen to make every possible peaceful
effort to reconcile the basic differences
that now inf1ame tempers.'
Actually, the frightful potentialities Of
the atomic age thus may BE blessing in
disguise They may be blessing in the
sense that they will compel all countries
to live together as good neighbors. At any
rate, despite all the poisonous name-calling
in the world, men and their governments
cannot afford to despair at this stage of
the possibility that the young United
Nations by slowly maturing and gradually
gathering strength, will yet be able to
attain It's great ends.
After all, as Emerson wrote in an earlier
day, 1t may we'll be that "war is on Its
last legs and a universal peace is as sure
as is the prevalence of civilization over

Just Mistaken Identity
By Gerard d. Reilly
From the oklahoma city Daily oklahoman.

From the Oklahoma City Daily Okahoman,
In his story Of 20-odd years Of master
minding, Ed Flynn Of the Bronx tells how an
American Ambassador to Germany was chosen
In the days wheY, the Hitler shadow first began
to extend over Europe. And II somebody out
side the magic circle Of Washington authority
had told the story, 1t would be impossible to
believe it.
According to the Bronx oracle he and the
President were discussing the German Am
bassadorship and they agreed that Prof.
Dodd of Chicago would be the proper man to
appoint Flynn was commissioned to call the
Chicago professor and ascertain If he would
accept the German mission The surprised
professor declared that he would accept, and
so the appointment was made.
Presently it developed that Flynn had called
the wrong Prof Dodd and that the man
appointed was completely unknown to Flynn
and to the President and to all other high
Washington officials. But, according to Flynns
story, the President said that 1t was too late
to do anything about 1t. Thereafter the
President jokingly referred to the Ambassador
as Mistaken Identity Dodd."
It might have been better for all parties
concerned il Flynn had never told this story.
or downright incompetency upon all the prin-
cipal actors. Germany at that time was just
about the hottest spot on the diplomatic map,
and it was vitality important that the United
States be aoiy represented in Berlin. But
instead of searching the entire country for the
most competent Ambassador that could DO
found the Government commissioned man
that nobody In the Government knew or had
ever heard Of To choose a Minister from
mail order catalogue would have been no more
careless or stupid.

Reasons for Hope

DR.. Hamilton Holt. president Of Rollins
College at Winter Park, Florida, recently
celebrated his seventy fifth birthday ami
versary in spirit OF optimism which we'll
might set an example for his contem-
porares. of all ages in these troubled times.
One subject about which he is hopeful is
youth. Referring to the junior generation,
he told S. J. Woolf Of the New York Times,
Their frankness, their demand that
authority justify itself at the bar of reason,
their disdain for sham and their passion
for social justice make me think that they
will manage the world better than their
elders have. . The very fact that they
are convinced helps to make their dreams
come true
Progress in education is reason for
DR.. Holt's faith in the future. At Rollins
he has been responsible for what he calls
"the conference plan," under which the
faculty members have no monopoly in
talking. The students also speak out" in
class. In the resultant give -and-take ideas
are exchanged on equal terms. DR.. Holt
explained that he is not interested in the
.regurgitation" of knowledge on an exam
pdQCI Ul1AOuSll d 1CdG VI AlCAlO1y
Lectures and recitations in the ordinary
meaning of those words, he said, have
been virtually abolished" in his school,
and there are no "inquisitorial sessions"
for its pupils. Three periods a day are
allocated for work Of the mind under a
professor in classroom" where the
ability of the individual scholar to make
progress is demonstrated.
These unorthodox procedures, DR.. Holt
admits, came to him through his own
personal experience as an editor and pub
Usher before he went to Rollins in 1925.
He was the guiding genius of the 1nde-
pendent, an important liberal literary
weekly magazine issued in New York prior
to that date. His ambition at the start of
his college administrative career Is, summed
up in this declaration: What I wanted
to do was to humanize education, to do
away with the aloof professor, sitting on
little platform, overlooking and over
looking his students" In somewhat differ
ent language he now calls for further
characterization of the world Specifically,
he looks forward to the time when the
United Nations is transformed from a
league of sovereign states into world
government deriving its powers from all
the peoples of the world Emmanuel Kant,
he remembers, wrote more than century
ago:
We never can have universal peace until the
world is politically organized, and it will never
be possible to organize the world politically
until the peoples rule .. Even then it
will not be possible to have peace until the
spirit of good will, one to another, permeates
the nations.
DR.. Holt conceded that he may not live
to see this goal realized, but he assured
Mr. Woolf: "I shall work for it with every
ounce of energy have"

Albanian Treason Trial

The treason trial. seems to have be-
come standard practice in all Communist
dominated countries. Held before sub
servient judges or in a special Peoples
Court" condemnation of the accused is
virtually certain and the penalty usually
is death. The twofold object is to get rid
of prominent opponents of the Red re-
gimes and to terrorize others who might
contemplate any dissent from the Red
relationships.
Another of these tragic travesties on
justice has just terminated in Albania. 1t
lacks the notoriety of the Petkov outrage
in Bulgaria because the condemned are
relatively obscure persons. However, this
Albania trial is noteworthy because of the
manner in which the prosecution has
smeared two foreign powers-Britain and
especially the United States. Both have
been unequivocally charged with having
maintained spy rings in Albania, trained
native agents for espionage and sabotage,
and fomented rebellion with promises of
armed Intervention after a revolt had
actually begun.
These fantasies, promptly branded by
the State Department as entirely untrue"
were not only charged by the prosecution
but have also been admitted" by several
of the accused. The technique of obtain
ing confessions" is expertly developed by
Communist regimes, such avowals having
been common ever since the notorious
Moscow trials of the mid 1930s.
One of the most artistic reflnements OF
the Albanian trial has been to brand the
American Technical School in Tirana as
the training center for reasonable activi-
ties This school, established many years
ago with American funds, is one of a
chain of institutions throughout the Near
and Middle East endowed and maintained
by American idealism for the good of the
respective peoples there. It Is an ironic
commentary that the present Red dictator
of Albania, Enver Hoxha received from
this school he now maligns the education
which enabled him to enter the teaching
profession that he originally pursued.
In its merited rebuke, the State Depart
ment calls these mendacious fabrications
against our Government "sad act of in
gratitude" recalling that it was largely
through President wilson's efforts at the
| Versailles Conference that Albania won
It's independence. The department likewise
terms the trials IAN attempt Of the Al
| bania regime to perpetuate itself by means

Of oppression and terrorization Of Albanian
liberal, patriotic opposition elements"
That is, Of course, the motive in this, as
in most of the current treason trials"
both within the Soviet Union and~in the
various puppet states set up behind Mos
cows iron curtain" The one hopeful
aspect of these tragic affairs is that they
are considered necessary by the rulers.
Such brazen farces show that the love of
liberty is not yet extinguished and that
terrorism has to be employed to hold it
down.

The real reasons why both Republicans and
administration are approaching the European
aid problem so gingerly are these:
l. From the COP point of view: If the cost
is paid out of the prospective budget surplus,
they won't have such a good chance to get
their tax cut legislation through without un-
balancing the budget. And if the Government
had to borrow from banks to pay the cost, 1t
would increase imitation (prices included).
That's why Republican congressman keep men-
tionng the Export-Import Bank even though
President Truman says its funds are not avail
able to finance the program. They figure
KIN might be authorized by legislation to
borrow in such a way that it wouldn't have
an inaationary effect for some time.
2. From the administration point of view:
Aside from the fear of doing anything that
would add to imitation administration insiders
frankly admit in private that they're afraid
to 60 before Congress that they cannot con-
troll without concrete plan which would have
a reasonable chance of being adopted. Loss of
prestige in case Of defeat would be too great.
That's the reason for careful advance consul
tation with congressional committees.
