to assume that at least the govern
ments and the controlling Com
munist Ininorities which support
them have been able to produce
degree of mutual affection which
satisfies the Kremlin. After Tito's
action we wondered.
What about the frontiers between
these countries and Russia?
The answer came from an anti
Communist, recently arrived from
Czechoslovakia-on of the many
persons who are seeping out OF that
and other satellite countries every
day. He was asked in my presence
L the frontier between his country
and Russia was open. in the sense
that travel was permitted under the
same conditions that obtain between
normally friendly nations.
The Czech laughed. He said:
THE border between my country
and Russia is no tighter than dam
would have to be to keep drop OF
water from getting through"
have heard the Russian frontiers
of other satellite nations similarly
described.
My informant also outlined other
significant conditions in Czechoslo-
vakia, first reminding US of three
important facts:
1. Czechoslovakia is the most
industrialized of all the satel-
ites.
2. 1t Is also the most demo-
cratic in the realistic sense we
view d ocracy. In other
words the country is thoroughly
indoctrinated with the kind of
democratic methods we know.
This is due in part, Of course,
to the fact that so many of the
men responsible for formation
of the Czech republic spent
many years in the United States
and were made thoroughly IA
miliar with American methods.
It Is also due to the fact that
they had a long period Of prac-
teal experience in putting
these methods into effect In
their own country.
8. The Czechs had a very
high standard Of living COM
pared to the other satellites.
These factors, taken together.
made the CzechS particularly vul-
nerable to Communist coup. When
1t came, because of their demo
cratic training and high standard
Of living, the Czechs were partic-
ularly unhappy as an aftermath OF
Communist methods and Russian
domination. In other words, the
Czechs had more to lose than any
Of the other countries within the
Red orbit.

Chance of Revolt
Termed Small

Objective observers admit that
there is small chance of an open
revolt. That isn't the Czech method.
They are great underground work
ers, but they haven't the enthusiasm
for blood-letting that people like the
Yugoslavs have. If, however, the
Soviets became involved in war.
undoubtedly the Czechs would join
heartily with those they consider
their iberators.
Those persons who predict
crack in the iron curtain base part
of their argument an on attitude
among Czech leaders which is said
to parallel that Of Tito's supporters
in Yugoslavia. That Is this ques-
ton of nationalism. There have
been recent reports from Europe
that Czech Premier Gottwald, who
always has been considered Mos.
cows right-hand-man in Czechoslo-
vakia, is about to fall from Soviet
grace for the same reason Tito fell.
Gottwald is a lifelong Communist
who was won over to the MARKHAM
philosophy before he had an op-
portunity to see it put into effect
in his own country. He was an apt
and willing student in Moscow, but
he apparently cherished the illusion
that his own country could accept
the communist form. of government
and still maintain its identity and
its independence. The utter domin-
alton by Russia has become not
only distasteful to Gottwald but also
to at least two other members Of
his cabinet, including the minister
of justice.
Gottwald is not the leader that
Tito is and he probably can be
brushed aside. But the viewpoint
he has come to represent is pointed
out as one of the weaknesses of the
Russian system.
There is one other fact which
cannot be hidden from the eyes
of any careful observer with
some military knowledge of
Czech0slovakia. That Is that the
military preparations In the
country which the Russians
have carried out are almost 100
per cent defensive. Apparently,
the Russian fear of invasion
from the West is greater than
their desire or ability to pre-
pare for offensive warfare.
AS proof of this, my informant
told me that although one of the
scarcest consumer products in
Czechoslovakia is paper, two Of the
| biggest mills manufa cturing it were
limiting their output to blackout
paper only.
These are some Of the reasons
back of the theory which the people
who believe in the old military
axiom that you mustn't under

gerous.

Hershey's Draft Plans
Nv oREW REARs0N

MOT all the details have been
~ released officially yet, but
Lewis Hershey, selective service di.
rector, gave brief report on draft
plans to a closed-door session OF
the senate-house arm e d services
committees recently.
He told the solons that the Sc.
lective service machinery would be
ready to process the first batch OF
draftees by October IS, but estl-
mated the second call would not
come before January l.
Hershey told the senators and
congressman there was strong pres.
sure-at that time-to start drafting
19-year-olds first, since they were
not ready to settle down and would
be less likely to be upset by army
service.
The two armed services commit.
tees, however, argued the opposite.
Unanimously they agreed that the
a. and 25-year-olds should be TAX
en- before they passed the eligible
age. This was later decided.
The selective service boss
estimated that 100000 youths
were available for the draft, but
only 1860 would be eligible
under the loophole-riddled plan
for deferments. OF those who
will be caught, the bulk are I'M
der 70 since many of those over
22 served in the recent war.
The number eligible for the draft
in each age group was broken down
by Hershey as follows: 25-year-olds,
8, 900; 24-year-olds, $4,000; 23-year-
olds, $4,000; 22-year-olds, $4,000; FL
year-olds, $4,000; 2O-year-olds, 475,'
900; 19-year-olds, 635,0oO.

Race for Uranium

Most encouraging sign on the
atomic-energy horizon is what the
Russians now are doing in Saxony.
Low-grade uranium deposits
are found in this southern Ger
man state and the Russians
have been working feverishly to
mine them. They have been us
ing great deal of labor and
going to great lengths to scrape
up this uranium, which is SO
low grade that in Canada II
would be ignored.
The fact that the Russians are
taking all this trouble over such
poor quality uranium in Germany
obviously means only one thing:
They don't have any worthwhile
uranium of their own in Russia

The discovery of the letters
written by a famous person is
always accompanied by great ex-
citement and interest. for the per-
sonal letters of person reveal
the inmost traits of character
which are often hidden from pub
lie view, Not so long ago, the
letters of the late President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt ap :
peared in public print and were
read with great interest as a
revelation of the development Of
Mr.. Roosevelt from a very small
boy to a man, ready to assume
the responsibilities of the highest
office in the power of a people
to give-the Presidency Of the
United States.
So, for this week, we are to
consider some very old letters,
preserved for us in the portion
of the Bible that we know as the
New Testament. OF course, some
letters were written during Old
Testament times, but they are not
as familiar to the average Bible
student as those we refer to as
the 'Epistles,
In all, there are twenty-one
letters in the New Testament :.
thirteen of which were written
by the Apostle Paul. Four OF
these letters-Galatians, Ephes :
ians, Colossians, Philippians -
were written from the prison in
Rome where Paul spent the last
years of his eventful life. The
letter to the Hebrews is anony
nous. no one being sure who
wrote it. Two letters were writ
ten by Peter. three by John, one
by James and one by Jude.
The letters were written to
churches and to individuals for
the purpose Of giving instruction,
of offering praise or censure, and
to serve, as all friendly letters
should, the purpose of cementing
a bond of fellowship with those
who were beyond the reach of
personal intercourse. They were
written as the occasion demand
ed and it is only through the pro-
violence of God and the devotion
of the church that they have been
preserved for us.
