Of our individual freedom. Only the
courts and jury Of our peers can
determine our guilt. Neither the
legislative nor the administrative

That is enforcement by law. not by

impression in most Of the countries
which have been forced behind the
iron curtain in the past IL months.
This unexpected blow can hardly
remain unanswered by the Politburo,
which. considers 1t as a definite
challenge to its expansionist plans
In Europe. The American analysts
are little inclined to believe that
Russia would force the issue in
Northern italy. Such step, par
ticularly If Tito enters the picture,
would be tantamount to unleashing
World War III.
Not Ready for Showdown.
While the U. S. S. r. now is In
serious predicament, these poiti-
cal analysts think that Russia is not
prepared for a final showdown with
the western world. But she may
retaliate in other parts Of the world,
such as Iran, or possibly increase
her pressure on the Western Allies
in Germany and Austria.
Another possibility for Russian
action would be to step up the Greek
civil war or to place Denmark and
Norway behind the iron curtain.
Any Russian demonstration of force
in Korea or China would have little
or no effect on the European peoples
who right now are the main target
of Russia's cold" offensive.
A new italian government will be
selected by the recently elected Ma
tional Assembly on May 18. 1t ap-
pears highly probable that Premier
Alcide de Gasperi will be entrusted
with the task of forming the new
cabinet, which will be composed OF
Socialists of various hues, but no
Communists or Communist afiliates.
This new government will have the
full support of the United States
and the Western European countries
and is expected to be invited into
the defensive alliance created re-
Gently by Britain, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
AT the same time, the United
States, Britain and France must
prepare plans to make good their
promise on the return Of Trieste to
italian sovereignty. This question
is dynamite-laden In that the con-
sent Of Russia and Yugoslavia must
be obtained beforehand. There Is
no doubt that both these countries
will persist in their refusal to accept
the Western Allies proposition,
which to some extent influenced the
defeat of the Communists at the
polls.
However, neither we nor the other
western signatories of the peace
treaties can afford to let this matter
go by default. and bringing the
Trieste issue to head may be the
spark which will ignite the Euro
pean powder keg.

For the present all reports from

Moreover, the result Of the elec-

communism has shown that even
the industrial and agricultural
workers, whom the Communists be-
lieved to have well under control
are not in the least eager to answer
call to arms. They have indorsed
constitutional socialism and re-

having discovered that the pres

That a victory psychology has

Wisconsin and Nebraska was evi-
dent from the moment he hit his
first crowd, Junior Chamber of
Commerce luncheon in Middletown.
People like to feel they are greeting
possible President; a peculiarly
electric mood seems to seize them
and they are more intent and re-
sponsive than usual. The quick
ened interest in the young man
showed again that in politics Ger
tainly. nothing succeeds like success.
Mr.. Stassen holds his audiences.
He cannot set people dancing IN the
streets with his eloquence; his COM
mand of the English language Is
nowhere equal to his large visions;
the brutal truth is he leans on
cliches. But he is confident and
clear; disarmingly ready to handle
any topic in his customary question

too carping to suggest that he Is

philosophy he has long expounded.

gressive. Actually he says little that

took exception to Taft's prewar iso-
