dom to their people"
Yet. from what source comes
that threat, except from the very
freedoms that have been granted?
Was Italy turned to fascism by
an act of force? Is Italy threatened
today by the conquest OF a foreign
army? Was the German democracy
and all that it inherited-free uni
versities, impartial courts, the secu-
rity of the citizen-destroyed by
force?
Power Put in Hands.
Yes, eventually. But the power to
use the force against the people was
put into Fascist, Nazi and Commu-
mist hands by the operation Of un-
restricted political freedom.
Premier de Gasperi has told the
Italian people that If they vote in
the Communists Cor if Communists
win so large a fraction of the vote
that, under parliamentary proce-
dure, they must be given positions
in the cabineD, there never will be
another free election in Italy.
There also will be a reign Of
terror. Many will be slaughtered.
Tens of thousands will disappear
into penal labor brigades. All the
laws of the free will be destroyed.
Schools and universities will aban-
don the search for truth and be-
come centers Of indoctrination. ALI
this is known.
Why, then, are the open adher-
ents of sedition and massacre al
lowed to operate in elections whose
purpose is to furnish constitutional
government?
Because Of a concept Of freedom
which can only lead to the end OF
freedom.
The problem of freedom involves
problem of restraint. Absolute
freedom for each man and grour
means also freedom to encroach up
on the liberties Of others. In nc
state can absolute freedom be al.
lowable. Freedom to accumulate
property does not include freedom
to use 1t as we please. Freedom tc
drive automobiles Is not license foI
any speed or to 60 through traffe
lights. Freedom Of speech is not
freedom to cry fire in q crowded
theater. The paradox Of freedom Il
its dependence on restraint, other.
wise freedom equals anarchy.
Masaryk Learned Lesson.
Jan Masaryk's Bible lay open or
his desk to St. Pauls Epistle to the
Galatians. In this extraordinary
letter the founder of the church
deals with precisely this problem o1
freedom-with its permissible ane
impermissible uses, the impern1is.

works Of the flesh; the proper be.

brethren, ye have been called unto

This Changing World
Truman Silence on Military Steps Puts
Congress Members in Difficult Position

Constituents, whether civilians or
veterans, would better understand
the need for resumption of selec-
tive service and the institution OF
universal military training If they
were told authoritatively by the
President the fact that in Russia
and satellite countries universal
military service-not training-be-
gins at age IS, and includes both
sexes. The Czech Army has, in fact,
been under Soviet instruction since
1916. Czech officers have been
trained in Russia, and their train
ing has included indoctrination in
political dogma. For two years the
universal military draft has operated
in Czechoslovakia under Russian
auspices and actual Russian COM
mand in the officer ranks. The same
is true in Poland. Bulgaria and Ro-
mania are providing much tough
cannon fodder to serve as a spear
head for further Russian aggres-
sions.
The Kremlin's plea for security"
thus boils down to that ancient mill
tary maxim: Save your own troops
and sacrifice those Of your unde-
pendable allies"
Bases In Arctic Circle.
Most of all, perhaps, the Sena-
tors and Representatives who favor
immediate steps to bolster American
security regret the Presidents omis-
sion of any mention of the Asiatic
sector. That includes the impor-
tant air and military installations
in the Soviet Arctic just across the
North Pole from North America,
It is no secret that immense efforts
are being made, at hideous cost in
slave labor, to build bases in the
Chukotski peninsula just across Ber-
ing Strait from Alaska. These
bases are not designed for defense,
but for aggressive attack by air
They are training grounds for para
troopers.
The tiny islands within the Arctic
Circle called Franz Josefiand are
likewise the scene of long continued
military preparation. These islands
form an excellent springboard for
attacks on Spitzbergen, Iceland,
Greenland, as stepping stones to
the North Atlantic American coast.
The old familiar "pincers-tactics"
of the Nazi high Of aggression
can plainly be seen as the motive for
these preparations: Simultaneous
attack from east and west on the
North American continent at its top.
Communist control of Manchu-
ria is an added cushion of security
for these installations. Communist
control of all China, down to the
Yellow River, would give an almost
ideal situation for risking an all
or-nothing push by the Kremlin.
These are a few of the facts
known to the President and his
military and diplomatic advisers.
They are essential parts Of the pic
ture that many in Congress wish
were known to every American citi-
zen

and accept secondhand assurances
that Gov. Dewey and Gen. Mac
Arthur are what the doctor ordered.
Will the Stassen method pay off +?
The orthodox jeer. Mr.. Stassen is
cheerful and says he is confident of
the results.
Mr.. Stassen's effort is often
classed with Wendell Wilkes as
sault on this State In "A. This is
because Mr.. Stassen loves to talk,
just as Mr.. Willkie did, and believes
he can persuade people by so doing.
The trend in politics is the other
way: Politicos increasingly reserve
their great thoughts for full-dress
occasions and depend on the radio.
Goodness Denied.
1t is also generally accepted that
the Republican organization is cool
toward Mr.. Stassen, as it was to-
ward Mr.. Willkie. Mr.. Stassen
claims this is not so, but most OBJ
servers have failed to find any en-
thusiasrn for him among the boys
in the back room.
In many important respects, how
ever, there Is a great difference be-
tween Mr.. Stassen's status now and
Mr.. WILKES in ~. The Republican
organization was actively hostile to
Mr.. Willkie by that time. Mr.. stas-
sen enjoys the support Of an in
fuential sector Of the organization
which is experienced and we'll

is more regular" actually than Gen.
MacArthur's, which strongly in
herits from the old Progressives, in
cluding Phil La Toilette. Gov.
Dewey's delegates are also regulars.
chiefly from the State Legislature.
Mr.. Stassen has the great advan-
tage also of being neighbor and
bred of racial stocks common here.
There is a real home-folks atmos-
phere about his campaign.
In the questions they throw at
him, all Stassen crowds-city and
country-follow the same pattern.
Are we going to war? Do we need
universal military training? What
about the Taft-Hartley law?

sober optimism" that If we remain
strong and prepare ourselves sufh-
GENTLY to impress Russia that we
mean business, war may be averted.
He is for universal military train
ing in some form and believes that
a reasonable compromise between
the opposing camps on this issue is
possible. He says the Taft-Hartley
Act is not the bad page its detrac-
tors claim and suggests several mod
ifications he would make to better it.
AL candidates are drawing crowds
these days. Mr.. Stassen tries not
to attach undue Importance to the
fact that his are unusually large
and attentive.
P. S.-The Democratic news here
is different from usual-they have
a fight but it Is among themselves
only; they are all for President

today said
Some 200 persons may be reported
starving to death in Changchun

The Red gunners may be Koreans
or-Japanese, these sources said The
weapons are japanese guns that
fell into the hands of Chinese Reds
at the end of the war.
For several weeks no government
planes have landed at the Chang
chun airfield, although National
soldiers control the airport. The
presence of the antiaircraft guns
is the reason given for the aban-
