This Changing World
Shortcomings of u. N. Clearly Shown
BY China's Case Against Communists

the master is completely respon-
sible for the servants acts.
There is next the relation
ship of principal and agent.
wherein the principal is bound by
the acts Of the agent which fall
within the scope Of his agency.
The principal is not responsible
for those acts Of the agent which
fall outside the reasonable scope
of the agency.
There is finally the relationship
of principal and independent con-
tractor. wherein the. principal
takes no responsibility for the acts
of the contractor. but may pro-
vide the latter with means for the
fulfillment Of the contractor S
work.
The master minds Of the Krem-
lin have used this idea Of the
independent contractor and made
it work. That is the tactic which
virtually defeats any attempt to
get at the Kremlin as the source
of the worlds ills.
Position Taken by Russians.
The Russians have taken a posi-
ton with respect to all the world S
Communist parties in which Mos
COW is willing to provide means
without taking responsibility
That has been true in China
The Russians have subsidized the
Chinese Communists as independ-
ent contractors trying to sell Mos
cows bill of goods.
The next step is to that OF
principal and agent. like the re-
lationship which exists between
Russia and the outer satellites
the French and Italian Commu-
mist Parties.
The final step is to the rela-
tionship Of master. and servant
like that which exists between
Russia on the one side and Poland
Czechoslovakia. Hungary. Bulgaria
and Romania on the other.
The Chinese Communists. at
their present stage Of develop
ment, are somewhere above the
status Of an independent con-
tractor and somewhere below the
status of a complete servant. They
are at a point where Moscow
swhile admitting that the Chinese
Communists work in the Soviet
interest, can insist that their
activities do not pin direct re-
sponsibility on the Russian gov
ernment.
Chinese appeals to the Ameri-
can Government have failed. It
will be interesting to see with
what sympathy the appeal to
other members Of the United Ma
tions is received.

Here's one the Senator particu-
larly likes:
DO you think Senator Hum

did you vote for Senator Hum
phrey?" Yes, 1921; no, $50.
Would you vote for him TO-
day?" Yes. 8.223; no, 6.531.
Some Other Queries.
Some others:
DO you approve Of President
Truman's program" Yes, 1881;
no. 6.716.
Are you in favor Of the Bran
nan Farm Plan?" Yes, 6,779; no,
4,014.
do you believe we should arm
Western Europe?" Yes. 1921; no,
1923.
do you favor continued rent
control?" Yes. 11,2l5; no, 3.073.
DO you believe the Taft-Hart-
ley law should be repealed?" Yes,
8,169; no. $3.50.
That's how things are in Min
nesota. If the State Fair poll can
be taken at its face value. OF
chief interest to the Sioux City
meeting should be the big major
ity shown for the Brannan plan,
which the Truman administration
continues to promote as its solu-

Congress has sidetracked for the

American Activities in the past to
the activities of a secret Communist
espionage ring which operated within
the Government a few years ago.
We are frank to state that these
espionage agents could not have
successfully evaded detection-in
fact they could not have operated
without the aid of Communist agents
working from outside the Govern
ment.
This is pattern which has long
been typical of Communist opera
tions throughout the world. 1t is
similar to the practice of using out
siders to aid Communists operating
within large industrial plants and
is known in Communist jagron as
concentration"
Aid Fellow Conspirators.
"Such 'concentrationrings' have
in the past, been known to render
the following services to their fellow
conspirators within Government
agencies or strategic plants:
Il. To furnish financial aid, ir
some cases running into large sums
~. To handle the mechanics o1
Communist Party membership, dues
payments, distribution of directives
literature, etc.
g. To establish contact with
Communist Party officials.
a. To transmit Government
documents and information to

Karl Mundt of South Dakota, who

speeches the farmers were asked
to hear. The purpose Of the
statesmen was to listen, rather
than talk. They are hunting for
an agricultural formula guaran-
teed to prevent a repetition Of
the big upset In the farming

Anybody who still believes in
polls will agree that this search
is justified. Senator Hubert Hum
phrey, brash young Minnesota
Democrat. is carrying around in
his pocket. ready to show anybody
who will look. a piece of paper
that contains bad news for the
Republicans. It is a tabulation of
poll taken this month at the
Minnesota State Fair.
Record of Accuracy.
Senator Humphrey explains that
a political poll has been taken at
the State Fair every year for the
past 16 years and that it has
proved remarkably accurate in its
reflection of State opinion. It
never has missed. he says, on the
Offices of President, Senator, Gov
ernor or Congressman. Another
point he makes is that, while Min
nesota's population is about so
per cent urban, it is the farmers
that 60 to the fair. In any event,
two-thirds Of those filling out the
straw ballots gave their residence
as rural.
AS for political affiliation, 5,987
listed themselves as Democrat
Farmer-Laborites; 5,217. Republic
cans; 4,497, Independents.

part of a continuing campaign to
crack Catholic opposition to state

Many priests were seized in the

They said four priests and three

Responsible sources said more
