Reds in Southeast Asia

Reds in Southeast Asia
Announcement by the Netherlands gov
ernment that Communist activity in In
donesa will be outlawed and fought with
all legal means" is part of policy pattern
that is being adopted by all the govern
ments in Southeast Asia to combat the Red
menace which seeks to communize the
entire region. 1t follows similar action by
the British and local native regimes in
Malaga, by the native government of
Burma and by the French authorities in
Indo- China. The same trend is observ-
able in restrictive measures against Com
munist activity taken by the native
government of Siam, while the Communist
tinge in the recrudescent Hukbalahap
movement in Luzon may we'll foreshadow
like action by the native Government of
the Philippines.
When Foreign Secretary Bevin told the
House of Commons two days ago that
Southeast Asia is one of the prime targets
of concerted plan by international Com
munism to stir up civil war and precipi7
tate chaos, he gave official utterance to
something which has been long known to
informed observers of the situation. Evil
dence of this Communist strategy, insti-
gated from Moscow, is so specific and
abundant that it is irrefutable And the
reasons behind the Red drive in that Sec
tion OF the world are equally clear. South
east Asia is, collectively, the greatest and
best-developed single source of those pri-
mary raw materials vitally needed for the
economic recovery of the Western nations
Despite the ravages of the late war and the
Japanese occupation, Southeast Asia is
staging an economic comeback which, II
uninterrupted, would within a few years
restore its productivity to something like
prewar levels The Communist campaign
Is, therefore, a gigantic sabotage plot
which involves the well-being not only of
the West but also Of the native peoples
themselves. 1t has nothing intrinsically
to do with native aspirations for self-gov-
ernment or independence, but merely ex-
ploits nationalist!c aspirations for strictly
Communist ends
So far as the Netherlands Indies are con-
cerned, the local Communists, abundantly
assisted by outside Red support, have in
filtrated the Republican regime in Java
to an extent which enables them to para
lyze all efforts at constructive settle
ment with the Dutch Those Indonesian
Communists frankly denounce all agree
ments previously made as impositions of
western imperialism" which must be
combatted everywhere. They likewise extol
Soviet Russia and advocate the closest re-
lations with Moscow to supplant those
Western connections which must be eradi-
Gated.
The Netherlands Government, in It's
outlawry proclamation, merely echoes the
| parallel announcements of neighboring
| governments and Mr. Bevin's statement in
Commons that, wherever it (Commu-
nism) rears its ugly head we shall do our
best to stamp it out" The current visit
Of the Netherlands Foreign Minister to
Washington, avowedly to discuss with our
authorities the development of Commu-
nism In the Far East, is another significant
straw In the wind. That our own Govern
ment takes a sympathetic interest in this
anti Communist policy may be presumed

National Unity Toward Russia.

National Unity Toward Russia.
To the Editor of The Star:
It Is to be hoped that the campaigners Tor
the respective candidates for the presidency
will cease mudsinging at the waters edge.
While it is public service to expose the errors
in Judgment made by the administration, past
and present, in dealing with Russia, as well as
the shortsightedness of the isolationists, 1t
is not in the public interest to impugn the
motives of these public servants unless it Is
clearly established that they were traitorous
Now that it is clear to all that, at the present
time, no compromise will be made by Russia
and no commitments will be honored by Russia,
why should any further negotiations be under
taken with Russia? 1t should be perfectly
clear that the only course left open Is to stand
OF Russia by an ultimatum backed by the
clearly expressed intention to use force to resist
any violation of it, whatever the final results OF
such action might be.
AS most of the mistakes in the past were
made out Of the. humane desire to spare the
world another great war, and as this country Is
the only powerful exponent Of that philosophy
left. in the world, and therefore the only coun-
try that the Russian leaders fear, 1t Ill behooves
us to show break in our firmly united front
against aggression by casting doubt upon the
motives Of those whose mistakes may have
contributed to the present impasse

Defying Laws to Test Them

Defy1n9 Laws TO est nem
To the Editor of The Star:
In the September IA Star appears . letter
from Eunice Burks, condemning defiance Of
unconstitutional laws. She says all laws should
be obeyed until replaced by better ones. Evil
IDENTIFY Miss Burks does not understand the
American legal system.
The only protection Americans have against
unconstitutional laws is the Supreme Court:
the only way the Supreme Court can adjudge
. law unconstitutional is to have case
brought before 1t in which the law has been
broken.
This has been traditional procedure ever
since the case Of Marbury VS.. Madison QSo0.
Citizens not only have the legal and moral
right to ignore unconstitutional laws, but have
= moral responsibility to bring unjust ones to
the attention Of the court In the traditional
manner
OF course If an unjust law has been held
constitutional, 1t should be obeyed until either
it or the Constitution has been changed.

Verdicts First-Evidence Later
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial OF September 10 charges eight
distinguished American scientists with "un-
scientific seneralizations" because they blamed
the activities Of the Thomas committee for
driving scientists from Government service
You say that to believe this is to stretch ere
dulity, because one must credit the scientists
with sufficient common sense to view the COM
mittee's work in its proper perspective.
But your long editorial does not tell Us why
you consider yourself better judge Of the scien-
lists thinking than men like Profs. Urey and
Compton or = better judge Of the problems
Of recruiting scientists than Prof. Morse, for
merly director of the Brookhaven National
Laboratory.
The writer freely admits that he lacks the
mystic insight of your editorial writer. How
ever, he does know scientists, including quite
few who have worked and are working on
the problems of nucleonics. During the past
year the procedure Of the Thomas committee
mas been discussed over and over again by
these men, and can only report that they
have been deeply disturbed by Cd the repeated
insinuations by members Of the committee
that scientists have been disloyal, and ca the
grave charges made against DR.. Condor and
the failure to grant him q hearing after 10
months.
- A point worth emphasis is that nearly
all the men doing research in this field are
young Over and over have heard the COM
ment that: "A man Of Condons stature can
fight unwarranted charges; I can't" Perhaps
these young scientists should view the commit
tees work with detachment, as you suggest,
and shrug off the possibility that the COM
mittee will ruin their. future for headline.
But am afraid the scientists are human
enough not to act that way.
The Stars generalizations are wasted; If it
is concerned, let it work on the committees s
unpleasant procedure" Of publishing verdicts
first and evidence later-or never. as with

Tyrell Man Grows
Pork BY The Acre

How many pounds of pork can
be produced per acre."
A Tyrrell County farmer, X. L.
Spruill of Columbia, Route l, ran
a test last summer to wind out. AND
according to a report by County
Agent H. H. Harris of the State
College Extension Service, h e
experiment was highly successful.
Mr.. Spruill had a three-acre field
of corn which he estimated would
Weld sc bushel to the acre. He
decided to run a hogging-off DEM
onstration.
On August 10, a tota. of q pigs
weighing 1882 pounds were turned
on the field. For 81 days they went
about eating all the corn they
wanted.
By October IS, the pigs had add
ed 1858 pounds and weighed a total
of $3.50 pounds. Thus Mr.. Spruill
figured he produced an average OF
1896 pounds of pork per acre.
At SIPS a bushel, the estimate1
corn yield from the three acres
would have brought $247.50. Mr.
Spruill spent S64.sO for 1900 lbs
of supplement and SO for 80 pounds
of mineral to feed the pigs. In
other words, the corn, supplement.

Youth Tries Again
And Reaches Goal

IF at first you don't ,ucceed'
try, try again" is an old adaee Dut
its still good advice. So says Hen
nv Swimpson, Negro All Club men,
Der of Martin County.
According to r. M. Edwards
Negro county agent for the state
College Extension Service, "hen
Henry started a corn project last
wear he had his heart set on ne
coming a member of North caro-
lina,s exclusive 100-Bushel Club.
Although he failed to reach this
goal, he did produce 1875 bushels
per acre, became an associate mem
Der of the club. and won trip 20
an agronomy course at A. anu 1.
College, Greensboro, as county corn
champion among Negro All Cluo
boys.
Last October, as soon as Henry
checked his yield and discovered
he was below the 100-bushel mark,
he Immediately set out to DO pet
ter Job in 1913. He selected flelu
that was generally moist and fer
tile, broadcast and disked in IL
wagon loads of stable manure on
il. and seeded it in crimson clover
in April.
The clover was turned under
and a good seed bed was prepar-
ed in May. Rows were laid off 36
inches apart, 600 pounds of 6-S-6
fertilizer was applied. and Dixie II
corn was planted with Is inch
spacing in the row.
For the first two civilizations
Henry used a peanut weeder. When
the corn was eight to 10 inches
high he sidedressed with 200 lbs.
of Cil-Nitro. The last cultivation
was done with a cotton pillow when
the corn was about IL inches high.
Care was taken not to destroy any
corn roots.
Because of rain. the final .appli-
cation of nitrogen was not made
until two weeks after the last
cultivation. Then 200 pounds Of
soda was applied.
Henry felt pretty sure he would
make the, 1OGBushel Club this
year-and he did. His yield was
1865 bushels. And there is a pos
sibility that he may be county
champion again.

and mineral cost S315.30.
The hogs sold for 25.5 cents a
pound. The 1888 pounds added
during the demonstration thus
brought a return of $685.44, and the
net profit from the hogginp off
was $370.14.
Mr.. Spruill's records show he
made 1852 a day just by watering
and caring for the pigs. And, con-
sidering the hogs as harvesters
and marketers of corn, he was able
to realize a return of S125.05 per
acre above feed cost, in addition
to saving the expense of harvest
ing the corn.

mistakable signs that Senate lead

fully used prolonged DEBATE as a
smokescreen to camouflage their
real intent.
Because of the vital nature OF
the bill, I make the charge re-

clear. After hours of debate q
motion to bring the bill up was
passed 40 to %, proving that
there were enough votes to pass
the bill at any time.
Majority leaders voted for the
motion, along with Western SEN
ators. But by permitting further
filibuster, they let the bill die
without coming to vote, and
killed its chances when they had
enough votes to pass the bill if
they wished. a..r

should read the Senate record of
debate of June 10th.
"The Senate committee that
reported the bill favorably de-
fined its purposes as being to
reduce dependence of the u. S.

an active mining industry and to
