Korean Soviet government will

Nortrierners have q great armed
force with which to impose their
will on all Korea, but it is not likely
that they will attempt to do so as
long as any American forces remain

and their Soviet supporters-against

ment has been set up for Southern
Korea. In the deep background
may lie the hope that II all Kores
can be finally secured for the Soviet
bloc, Russia's political-and military
attention can be turned to othel
quarters.
What are the implications of al
this for the United States?
Strategic Value Of Korea.
Putting to one side, for the mo-
ment, the idealistic hope that we
can get all Of our men home from
foreign soil and that we can give
up maintaining bases abroad fol
what appear to be almost certain
future operations, we must consider
first of all what Korea means te
this country strategically.
It is our last foothold on the con-
tinent of Asia. and when the last
American troops leave Korea we
mot only throw Southern Korea te
the Soviet wolves but we also aban-
don the one base from which oul
troops might operate in case o1
trouble with Russia. We may have
to repeat the amphibious operations
which brought us victory against
Japan in World War II.
II Southern Korea ultimately Is
swallowed up by Soviet-dominateo
Northern Korea we will have suf-
fered an almost irreparable loss o1
face among many Of the oriental
peoples, whose struggle against
communism right now is OF growing
Importance to us.
We can i'll afford to let one more
portion of the globes surface fall
into Communist hands-be 1t Korea
Berlin. Austria or any other bit o1
territory. Every new expansion o.

him-even under house arrest-with
highest respect. It was from his
own people that his death came.
Israel Is a creation Of the United
Nations deriving its claim to legal
existence from United Nations de-
cision made against the opposition
of the whole Arab and Moslem
world. Yet, according to official re-
ports to the Security Council, the
first shot to be fired against the
United Nations as represented IN
the person of its Palestine mediator
was not by an Arab but by an
Israeli. For neither murder were
single persons responsible. Gandh1's
assassin represented a group who
probably chose the assassin by lot;
if a Sternist murdered Count Ber-
nadotte, the assassin acted by deci-
sion of the gang.
Assassination Plan known.
C. L. Sulzberger reported in the
New York Times q conversation he
recently had in Tel Aviv with a
Sternist who candidly declared
Sternist intentions to kill Count
Bernadotte, as they had previously
shot the British Minister of State,
Lord Moyne.
The Zionist terrorists (Stern gang
and Irgun) are not negligible num-
bers. There are fully 10000 OF them,
mostly young men and women.
About one in 40 Of the Palestine
Jewish population-counting the old,
inflrm and children-belongs to one
or the other of the terrorist groups,
They are armed and disciplined
in terrorist tactics from sabotage to
murder-in the Stern group by men
who have learned in European Com
munist undergrounds, in IEun by
former leaders of resistance move
ments. Their political theology is
half Fascist, half Communist. The
spiritual founder Of Irgun was Jabo-
tinsky, now dead, founder Of the
Zionist -Revisionists, who was an ar
dent admirer of Mussolini, as was
Abraham Stern.
These groups threaten the present
Israel state. It is an open secret
that Chain Weizmann, president OF
Israel, has never set foot In Pales-
tine since his election, but has re-
manned in Geneva, because the gov
ernment has not felt able to protect
him against possible Arab assaults
or the bullets of Sternist or Irgun
terrorists who call him "Petain. y

"Y0U CAN'T SELL SNOW"
Continued from page eight

ized a subsidiary, the Turf Craft
Sulky Company.
The failure to glorify skis is
indicative of the twin towns lack
of personal enthusiasm for skis,
but a change is beginning to be
noticeable among the younger gen.
Grafton. The Morton family, for
instance. which still owns the sled
and ski-making establishment. no
longer has to look beyond its own
circle for experts. George Morton.
a son of the founder, now heads
the business, and his grandson.
Albert Soule. who is in charge of
all ski production, is an ardent
skier.
Albert feels the same way about
using snowshoes that the feller
said he did about committing
suicide" chuckled one of his older
associates. Its the last thing he'd
ever do"
They Knew Their Wood
If MOST of the older men making
skis don't know the difference be-
tween a schuss and a stem turn,
however, they do know wood -
how to judge it for grain and
strength and resiliency, how to
handle it, shape it and balance it.
The Maine woods no longer pro-
vide the good hickory that goes
into the best grades of skis, and
it has to be shipped up from the
South. But it was wood and a
knowledge Of wood that put
Norway and Paris into the
winter-sports business; and
that is what keeps them in it.
The laminated skis being made
in Paris today, for instance, are
built up of many layers of wood
bound together under pressure by
newly developed resins, for the
greatest possible strength and resil-
iency. They could not possibly
have been made by that Finn
of so years ago, nor by anyone
else except modern technicians in
wood.
Mt Ain't Coed for Mach"
But perhaps there is a further
reason for the Norway-Paris as
cendancy in the field. One of the
town philosophers thinks there is.
Some people hate to see any,
thing 60 to waste" he says, Take
snow. 1t amt good for much. You
can't sell it. But you can find a
way to make a dollar out of it, if
you're smart enough. We hap
pened to have some people who
were smart enough" The End
