Cle E1GIl SOl-
umn of Fear that we are creating
among ourselves. 1t exhibits it
self in many ways, most recently
in the excitement that boiled up in
New York over the visit of a hand
full of Communist artists.
But the fear and suspicion that
we work up against outlanders,
while deplorable. are not nearly SO
corroding as that we seem deter
mined to turn inward upon our
selves in an insidious Fifth Col
umn of Fear that manifests itself
in many ways.
"Sedition" Bills in Congress.
Among others is the rash OF
bills being presented to Congress
that are directed at us in our pri-
vate lives and thinking, what we
have. come to know historically,
from cruel experience, as sedi-
ton bills. Though they undoubt-
edly are honest and sincere in in
tent, they originate in fear, and
conceal within their high minded
and legal Technology the weap-
ons that can destroy democracy.
They are not bills for ferret
ing out and Furnishing actual spies
and foreign agents and treason
able persons, for which we have
plenty of law on the books that
is sufficient. They are bills di-
rected theoretically at Communist
and Communist front" organi-
cations which could be used. how
ever, as a study of their broad
provisions and definitions show
to strangle cherished American
rights-freedom of assembly. o1

any power which might under
take aggression within the defined
North Atlantic area, the honest
truth of the matter is that it is
designed to meet a real, concrete
threat, not some abstract poten-
tial menace which might arise in
the indefinite future.
There is little to be gained
from feigning lack of a definite
purpose in the Atlantic Pact, for
it has a definite purpose, and that
is to set the line-long needed
beyond which the Western powers
will not tolerate any expansionism
by that other, Red world, meaning
Russia and her bloc Of satellites.
What Is to be deplored is that
this line is set now only in the
North Atlantic area. and not yet
in the Mediterranean area, the
Middle East and the Far East.
Additions are for the future.
Allies Have Responsibility.
Responsibility rests now on Allied
leaders for the exercise Of states
manship of the highest order. If.
as we hope. the Atlantic Pact
is to serve peace and not war, and
If the world is not to be plunged
into another armed conflict, more
terrible and more lasting in its
disastrous effects than the last.
We contend-and we know
that the alliance .awas conceived
and concluded for a purely de-
fensive purpose. AS far as our own
selves are concerned we can say
that with all intellectual honesty.
We have no mental reservations.
However, we must realize-and
our actions henceforth must re-
fleet the realization-that the So
Wet bloc, already hostile to every
thing the West stands for. cannot
but look on this treaty as barrier
now to fulfllment of it's plans for
Western Europe, if not an actual

Fifth Column of Fear
Rash of Bills Presented to Congress

speech, of press, and to think as
one pleases.
The injustices already done
under our loyalty program, which
is, restricted to Government en-
ployes, indicate to, what lengths
such statutes can go in limited
field, but the pending bills go
beyond Government employees into
the wide domain of rank and file
citizens.
One such passed the House last
session, the so-called Mundt-Nixon
bill. but it was stopped fortunately
in the Senate. chiefly by Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, a stall
wart champion of civil liberties.
New Mundt- Nixon Bill
There is a new Mundt-Nixon
bill jointly sponsored by Senator
Mundt, Republican, Of South Da-
kota, former member of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee and Representative Nixon, Re-
publican, of California. still a
member, and a similar bill by Sen
ator Ferguson. Republican. of
Michigan. They set up commits
sion or board, respectively, to de-
termine what are Communist and
Communist front organizations on
request by the Attorney General
or any organization or individual.
Any organization so classified
must register, publish its members,
it's finances and contributors, and
label itself as a Communist or
Communist front organization on
any mailing matter or on radio
programs.
The scope of discretion and lati-
tude is well-nigh infinite. AS ex-
amples, to be very brief, it might
be cited that labor unions when
organizing a plant do not publish
a list of members for fear of re-
taliation; that some of President
Truman's social welfare measures
are called "communistic," espe-
cially his health insurance pro-
gram.
Other bills are even more dam
gerous In their implications, which
shows how far we have succumbed
to the Fifth Column of Fear.

This Changing World
Atlantic Alliance Nations Must Avoid
Action Construed as Menacine Russia

threat to the security OF Russia
and her satellites.
We must make sure that nothing
no initiative. no provocative ac-
tion-occurs on our side TO con-
vince the Soviet bloc that nothing
is left but war. In the days that lie
ahead. during which we must un-
dertake the rearmament OF West
ern Europe, we have a RESPONSE
bility TO ourselves to refrain from
any action which could be con-
strued in the light OF history as
menacing to the Soviet bloc.
Must Have Bases.
We must have bases. The forces
Of Western Europe must be reor-
ganized and rearmed. And in car
rying out these requisites of West
ern democratic defense time is of
the essence. We can afford to have
no bungling delays. Yet we should
avoid every appearance Of pre-
pairing for action which the Rus
slams may look on as foundation
for aggression.
The question Is whether it is
possible to carry out large scale
rearmament and still avoid giving
offense to Russia. We must re-
member that the proposal for the
fortification of Guam prior to
World War II was defeated on
the ground that even this purely
defensive action might give Of
fense to Japan and provoke her
to attack. We know now that
she intended to attack anyway.
That is why, in the present in
stance. the need to reinforce
Western power in Europe out
weighs the possibility of giving
offense to Russia. Russia may
attack whether or not we give
her offense.
One axiom Of world power rela-,
tions is that war never is likely
when one power is dominant and
can enforce its dominion. The
danger of war comes when the
challenge to dominance arises
among those who are dominated,
that is when one power or group
of powers sets itself firmly against
others. The hitherto dominant
power finds itself frustrated in
further exercise of it's will. and
either accepts the limitation thus
imposed or resorts to the ultimate
measure-armed force. The ty-
rant must either cease to be
tyrant or become an aggressor.
The decision therefore is up to
Moscow whether it will peacefully
abide by the limitations which
are being imposed on the exertion
of it's will in Europe, or will be-
come an out-and-out aggressor in
order to break this coalition which
is ranged against it in the de-
fense of freedom and the West
ern concept of democracy.

Senate'S Views on Treaty
Atlantic Pact Popular, but Proposal
To Arm Europe MAY Meet Difficulty

views 1t warily. They are afraid
1t will take funds they want for
the defense budget at home. The
prospects are in fact that the
committee will want to increase
President Truman's SIS 900 .000, 900
defense outlay because they are
sold, as is the House, on 10 air
groups. 1t will take some argu-
ment to convince them that re-
arming Europe is preferable to
those additional air groups.
They also will want to examine
proposals to send surplus Ameri-
can armament abroad. including
bombers. Some Senators do not
believe that in the present state
of world affairs this country can
be said to have surplus. Others
fear our allies cannot use 1t prop
erly, while some hardened cynics
fear that the Pentagon will unload
useful material in the hope OF
getting replacements.
Vandenberg Backs Pact.
President Truman has so far
been able to depend upon the en-
tire Foreign Relations Committee
in spite of the January furry
over the action Of the Democrats
in cutting Republican representa-
ton on it. They are united in
support of the pact and they will
report an arms bill unanimously.
the administration is told. They
have also displayed remarkable
restraint over the degree to which
the executive branch has moved
ahead on foreign policy without
consultation.
1t is reported, however. that Sem
ator Vandenberg. who remains a
key figure in these matters. is not
too happy over the arms propos-
ais. Senator Vandenberg is de-
scribed as Fundamentally favor
ing the pact white fearing that
the implementation- Of it raises
questions better left unsaid for
the, present. But be will go along
and what that means was DEM
onstrated in the UNEXPECTEDLY
small support for the ECA cut.
Evening star., 1949-04-04

Their sponsors will separate them
for an even better reason than
this difference which is that the
pact has many more friends than
its implementation.
There is a disposition among
all Senators except the die-hard
isolationists. who number about
Is, to regard the pact as a COM
nonsense recognition of Ameri-
cas- world role. They are not
cheering about it. but there 1t is.
The fact that Senator Taft's
amendment to cut the ECA au-
thorization 10 per cent could mus
ter only % votes has fortified
opinion on the Hill that the pact
is safe. Senator Taft himself is
for it.
Implementation Costs Money.
It's implementation runs into
money trouble.
Finance Chairman George and
virtually all his committee. which
includes Senator Taft are deter
mined not to raise taxes for any
purpose. The arms program is
expected to cost 81 800, 900 900 and
they are bound to eye 1t stonily.
