This Changing World
Propaganda Function of Courts Held
Evident in Hungarian Treason Trial

coming an imminent threat of
division within their countries.
Nationalism is not a monopoly
of the Yugoslavs. 1t is true of
the Hungarians, who have always
had to fight against being
squeezed between the Germans on
the West and the Slavs on every
other side. They were nation
alistic under the Hapsburgs and
have not lost that love of their
own country which leads them
to oppose-passively if they can
not do so actively-the Soviet
domination under which they
live.
/ The depletion of foreign coun-
tries as waiting only for the mo-
ment to pounce on the Hungarian
people and subject them to new
foreign masters is calculated to
unite them in their spirit of de-
fense against the mythical threats.
1t makes for a tighter public sem
timent and a stronger control by
the Reds over their subjects.
Pressure Will Grow.
The same thing is true in Po-
land and Czechoslovakia, for both
of those countries suffered long
in the past under foreign masters
after possessing national freedom
at various times in their histories
AS long as Russia goes on with its
present attempt to dominate for
eign peoples the greater is going
to be it's need for such things as
treason trials to raise the specter
Of fresh menace from abroad.
The Russians must know, if they
have studied history with an eye
to learning its lessons rather than
to interpreting it in a distorted
Communist way, that, eventually
the struggle for freedom in now.
subject nations will break into
open conflict and that the tighter
the Russians draw the reins the
stronger will be the determination
to break away. They must know
this from their own struggle
against the Czars.
The Western powers know, how
ever, that as long as they main-
tain freedom and liberty-not
only for persons within their
countries but for each member of
the community of nations-they
will have a growing fifth column
of sympathizers in the oppressed
countries behind the Iron Curtain.
Some day these people will be
able to add their strength to that
of the West in breaking the bonds
of tyranny.

are accosted by boys and men
who offer you anywhere from 10
to so more liras per dollar than
you can get at the official rate.
Unfortunately. a lot of this
money is counterfeit. No Italian
merchant accepts a sizable bill
without first giving it a good go
ing-over to see if it is genuine.
What Italy needs is an official
tourist rate of exchange, so that
every visitor would get the same,
and know before he got here what
to expect for his dollar or pound
or what have you.
The eternal haggling that goes
on in the Eternal City is weary
ing to the visitor.
No country in Europe has more
to offer the tourist than Italy,
and it is a shame to have it even
slightly spoiled by the national
sport of Taking the Tourist.

New York Election Test
Lehman.Dulles Contest Being Watched
For Clue to Outcome of 1850 Campaigns

up. For a bigger stake is involved,
not only in New York where
minority elements are powerful
politically through their balance
of power, but also in next years
Congressional elections. The ad-
ministration wants to make a rec
ord by at least another attempt
on the eve of the New York elec-
ton.
President Truman has ignored
Southern protests on the civil
rights issue and this he signed and
sealed, so to speak, in the recent
dismissal by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee of members
from four Southern States who
had cast their lot in the last elec-
ton, with the Dixiecrats.
Dulles Hits "Statism."
Mr.. Lehman came out strong
on the civil rights issue. devoting
considerable attention to it in
his own speech of acceptance, and
the administration wants to make
a gesture of backing him up.
AS for other issues, Mr.. Dulles
has chosen to make an out-and-
out campaign against Truman
Fair Dealism as "statism." the
word now so popular with foes
Of the Presidents program, and
as threatening the liberties of the
people. He ridiculed the Truman
health insurance program. as well
as public housing legislation which
many Republicans in Congress
supported. and came out fatty
against Federal aid to education
for which many Republican Sena-
tors have voted. He endorsed
some New Deal objectives, how
ever, including social security.
His Democratic opponent. an
experienced and seasoned cam
paigner, indicated his approach.
which will be to present the Tru-
man program as merely a con-
tinuation of the New Deal pro-
gram which he praised as an at
tempt to strengthen democracy
by providing means by which the
citizen can protect himself and
improve his welfare. In that way,
he said, it represents a fight
against totalitarianism which has
been going on in this country
since 1888, and is still going on.
Both men made clear that ma
tional issues will be paramount in
this campaign. Since both are
able exponents~of the conflicting
PHILOSOPHERS of government, their
campaign will be followed by peo-
pie all over the country and
should indicate the nature of the
congressional campaign next year
as well as giving some clue to its
possible outcome.

mist ways on Constantine Brown.
the current enemies of the Soviet
bloc and its Communist Informa-
ton Bureau, is a standard tactic
in Red propaganda.
Marshal Tito now has been
added to the list of enemies of
the Soviet bloc and we find ref
erences to him and his minister
of the Interior, Alexander Ran
kovic. filling the testimony of
Laszlo Rajk, former Hungarian
foreign minister. and 1t. Gen.
Gyorgy Palffy. former inspector
of the Hungarian army, already
taken.
While we can be certain that
the allegations of American COM
plicity in spying against the
Soviet puppets-except as spying
is made to cover the performance
of normal information duties i'm
posed on American diplomats
abroad-there is no point in try
ing to Judge whether the accusa-
tions against the Tito regime and
Yugoslavia are true.
Threat Of Division Seen.
Indeed. we might even go so
far as to hope they were true,
in the BELIEF that they would be
evidence of Marshal Tito's true
desire to split forever with the
Communist terror which seeks to
throttle his nationalism and the
nationalism of his people.
We can find one inspiration
for these allegations against for
eign powers in the need not only
of the Hungary Reds but of all
the Soviet satellites, to solidify
their ranks against what is be.

ll1C, VWO FCAy
distinguished candidates of high
standing and character now have
been nominated by the major
parties-Herbert H. Lehman, four
times governor and a leader in
civic affairs, the Democratic can
didate. and John Fostera Dulles,
the Republican candidate, who
has won a national and inter-
national reputation in the field
of foreign affairs, though previ-
ously without experience in prac-
tical politics as an Office seeker.
Already this contest has had its
impact on national Democratic
party policy in Congress. Its i'm
portance is responsible for the
eleventh-hour furry among Tru-
man Administration leaders to
force the civil rights issue to the
fore again in this session, as was
forecast in this column several
weeks ago on the basis OF plans
being made at that time by for
mer Senator j. Howard McGrath,
then chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, who recent
ly joined the Truman cabinet as
Attorney General.
Republicans Cite Record.
Republicans have a record on
civil rights in New York in the
State Fair Employment Practices
Commission, a State FEPC, set up
under sponsorship of Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey. This Mr.. Dulles pointed
out in his speech accepting the
nomination, saying that the peo-
pie of New York have set an ex-
ample that speaks louder than
words" He called attention to the
failure of the Democratic admins
tration to accomplish anything in
Congress on civil rights in his ad-
monition that 1--WE should act and
not just talk about them" which,
itself, dramatized the "talk" also
that Southern Senators have used
successfully in their filibusters to
prevent action.
Southern Senators, Of course,
will talk again. But the admins
tration seems determined to risk
that and the resultant bitterness

YES, for every man and woman there are
still opportunities freely open for the taking!
To know that this is so, look about you...
At the young shipping clerk who took two years
of night school in mechanics, and now is tune
up specialist down at the garage -.
At the drug clerk who turned the idea of home
permanents into a nationwide industry.
AT the woman whose health building recipe for
bread put her into successful business and
made jobs for many of her neighbors
At the fellow down at the mill who took the trouble
to learn more than his job required, and last
week was made a foreman!
These folks and many millions more-whatever
their politics and backgrounds simply don't
believe American frontiers are closed. They've
found their opportunities right on Main Street!
And they don't believe the 'do-it-yoursef'
spirit is out of date. Not now {. j.. or euer!
Not if we recognize one plain fact:
America is what it is because it sees more in
the "do-it-yourself' spirit than in a spoon-fed
security!
In other countries people are coming to wait
for things to be done for them. But in America
we HAVE much more because we DO much more
for ourselves! In no other place is there SO much
that is worth working for -.
Seeing the evidence of this all around us, we
keep on developing new skills, new occupations,
new ideas We make new inventions, develop

These are todays "frontiers." They are open to

Hence this new series of advertisements ..
For life insurance itself is natural expression
of the do-it-yoursef spirit It is itself an aggres-
sivey competitive Main Street institution. Life
insurance has grown big because the need is big,
because 78 million American policyholders
depend on it. Some 584 life insurance COM
panies actively compete to meet this need.
Each year more Americans of their own choice
turn to Life insurance for the security that helps
free our minds from worry >. . that releases us
to make the most of our opportunities. In this,
the countrys more than 150, 900 life insurance

Yes, the growth of life insurance is in itself
outstanding evidence of the continued vigor of

seen it help so many people, so many ways!
