Our Political Warriors

The big verbal guns in both political parties
have opened fire in what might be called the
battle of the pot and the kettle. 1t is definitely
not an edifying spectacle.
This war of political charge and counter
charge was begun by the Republicans In an
official statement earlier this month, the Repub-
lican National Committee laid all the blame for
the Korean debacle at the doorstep OF the Demo-
Gratis Now the Democratic National Committee
has come back with blast which blames the
Republicans and pats the Democrats on the back
for having resisted the temptation ito make
political capital out of Korea at the expense OF
the Republicans"
" All of this is political nonsense, for both
parties have share of responsibility for the fact
that the United States was not ready for the
test which came with the aggression IN Korea.
Perhaps the Democrats should be held primarily
responsible. After ALL the control of foreign
policy has been in their hands. And the decision
to withdraw from Korea, leaving it militarily
defenseless was a Democratic decision. The
Republicans, however are by no means blame
less At this late hour, they cannot bury the
record which reveals Republican votes in Con-
gress that tended to weaken rather than
strengthen both Southern Korea and our own
military effectiveness.
In an election year a certain amount of this
pot-and- kettle business is inevitable. If 1t could
be held at proper level it might even be bene-
fetal But for those political warriors in both
parties who will strive for some personal benefit
from the ordeal OF our soldiers in Korea, there
Is lesson in the old lines
There is so much good in the worst of us
And so much bad in the best Of us
That 1t Ill behooves any of us
To find fault with the rest of us.

The seed and grain got mold on it.
Miidewed food is not good for birds, he
knew, so he calmly disposed of the sur
face seed.
His birds, he said, would be back.
When they did come. after feasting in
the forests and fields, on fresh worms
and insects, along with early ripening
berries, the petals of flowers, the tiny
insects that get into the bells to find the
nectar
Well, when they tired of all that, and
dimly remembered the fine grain and
large sunf1ower seed waiting for them
al 321 Millrace road. they would come
back.
One afternoon, about o'clock, the
confidence of Templeton Jones was re-
warded
There was f1utter of wings, and big
band of English sparrows descended
upon the feeding station.
Jones was almost excited. They were
"his" birds, unquestionably. He recog-
nized, or at least so he said some of
them, old friends of his, he said.
Then the cardinals came, and the jays,
and some titmice, and some wrens, and
few white-breasted nuthatches.
1t almost seemed as if they had
banded together, somewhere in the
woods, to give him big surprise.
Templeton Jones was delighted.
He knew they would come back and,
sure enough. they had.

ralysis of the U. N. may be certain under
all circumstances.
The press has reported that Mr.. Nehru
believes that the question of recognizing
the Communist regime should be decided
ION its independent merits" The mean
ing intended probably is that the rec
ognition of the Communist regime in
China should be decided on the basis
of its actual control over the territories
of China, irrespective of the violence and
treachery by which this control was
seized and irrespective of the probable
consequences of such recognition to the
operation of the mechanism of the U. N.
The criterion of de facto territorial
power has not been faithfully followed
in times past, even with regard to the
purely diplomatic recognition by estab-
lished governments of new governmental
organizations in periods OF revolutionary
turmoil But this same criterion should
not in any event be the controlling norm
with respect to the admission of any
governmental organization to dominant
position for good or evil in the U. N.
Members of the Security Council are
trustees for the welfare and safety of
the whole world. Communists the world
over have been continuously demonstrat-
ing that they are psychologically unable
to act in the altruistic spirit and under
the equitable restraints applicable to
trustees. The United Nations as an en-
tire group have the power and the ethical
as we'll as the legal duty to determine,
independently of practices as to mere
diplomatic recognition in ordinary in
ternational intercourse, what govern
mental organizations alleged to repre-
sent great nations of the world shall be
installed in places of supreme authority
and responsibility in the U. N.
Mr.. Nehru's idea of the independent
merits" of seating the Chinese Commu-
nists as members of the Security Council
is. in reality, one of those logically
defective distractions that have so often
been condemned in scholastic circles as
well as by practical men. Mr.. Nehru is
really advocating suicide pact for the
United Nations. And all of this is offered
in the same wretched spirit of appease-
ment to aggression that has already
caused so much misery all over the world
by encouraging further aggression.
But never was such a dangerous piece
OF appeasement proposed by Chamber
lain or Sir John Simon or by Marshal
Petain. None of these worthless ever pro-
posed to give Hitler or Mussolini vital
permanent legal advantage in the
League of Nations or any other world
organization in exchange for the tenn
porary abandonment of some particular
concrete aggression.
It was reserved to Prime Minister
Nehru to attain this highest pinnacle of
folly.

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Stor:
TT SEEMS OBVIOUS that no inter-
Il national arrangement should be made
for the sake of a temporary settlement
of the conflict in Korea which will give
to the tyrants of the Kremlin additional
powers that can be employed in future
conflicts. This is exactly what the seat
ing OF the delegates of Communist China
as permanent members of the Security
Council of the United Nations would
amount to-.
This Korean conflict, or one similar
to 1t, can be renewed at any time at the
convenience of the Kremlin. The seat
ing OF the Chinese Communists on the
Security Council would have the effect
OF greatly extending Russia's legal i'm
munltles under the U. N. Charter. Rus
sla's position, and thereby the cause of
international Communism, would be
greatly strengthened.
To illustrate. let us suppose that Rus
sla. at any time hereafter, should create
menacing dispute with Iran, for ex-
ample, alleging the usual false pretenses
as to threatening Western activities in
the same region. On such an issue, the
Russian Government ought to be de-
barred from voting In the Security Coun-
Gil, because Russia would be an i'm
mediate party to the dispute.
But even if Russia were debarred, the
Chinese Communist delegates could
prevent any vote or formal action of
the Security Council with respect to pro-
tecting the rights of Iran. China is a
permanent member of the Security
Council, entitled to a veto. Russia could
thus act directly against Iran with legal
impunity, and would not be limited to
using mere satellite like the North
Korean organization.
1t is significant fact in this connec-
ton that Russia does not have a con-
veniently- situated satellite state in the
neighborhood of Iran, and must there
fore act directly by means Of Russian
military forces If she is to act at all in
that part Of the world.
Nor is this the whole picture. For If
the United States or any Western Euro
pean nation should intervene separately
to aid Iran, such an Intervention, not
being under the authority of the U. N,
would be exposed to the charge that 1t
was merely imperialistic adventure.
The ethical and legal arguments with
regard to such an intervention would
obviously be entirely different from
those that can be adduced in support
OF the present action of the United
States in Korea, where in a very real
sense the United States is acting as the

Echo in East Germany

At about this time two years ago. the Krem-
Inns puppet regime in Northern Korea began to
step up its propaganda attacking American
"imperialists" and calling for the country's
uni1cation.
In summary, the propaganda made these two
vicious points, among others: Q That the gov
eminent of South Korea-chosen in free elec-
tions under the auspices of the United Nations
and recognized by practically all the non-Soviet
MEMBERSHIPS made up of traitors" who would
have to be liquidated, and (2) that the Korean
Communists intended, sooner or later to take
care of the liquidation and to win control of the
whole country
It is interesting, and probably significant
as we'll that much the same line of propaganda
Is now being followed by the Kremlin's Commu-
mist regime-headed by Otto Grotewohl-in
Eastern Germany. Thus, in an address to the
Reds in Berlin Grotewohl besides giving voice
to a violent attack on American 'imperialsts," )"
has just called upon all Germans Including
former Nazis-to join in common front to expel
the Western Allied occupying powers and to
unity the country under a rule that would put
an end to traitors like Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer of the Bonn government.
This is an echo of what was being said by
the Northern Koreans two years ago. It is so
much an echo, in fact, that there is reason to
suspect that the East German puppets-who are
being strengthened by the development of
soviet-trained police" army-have received
orders from the Kremlin to follow timetable
of some kind to emulate their Communist
brethren in Korea in giving effect to their fire.
breathing propaganda.
1t hardly seems necessary to elaborate on the
point The signs indicate that the menace in
Eastern Germany is growing day by day. not
diminishing. The West must be on guard
accordingly.

What q Difference!'

Wnot q Dlfference!
If we are ever to defeat the Red
Fascists, it will be as a result of an in
tensive propaganda campaign designed
to teach the peoples of the world, in
cluding Americans, the fundamental diff
ferences between Russian communism
and representative government, as well
as the advantages of the latter. Thanks
to the appeasement policies Of our State
Department we have made not the
slightest effort to teach these funda-
mentals even at home. It is no wonder
that we find Europeans and Asiatics
alike rather Indifferent to the Com
mInist threat. All they know about our
representative government is what they
have heard about capitalist imperial
ism" from the Red Fascists. A large
number now believe that Russian COM
munism would make little difference to
them; hence, they argue, why should
they fight our battles for us?
Surely we could find some one intel
ligent enough to devise a simple pic
torial comparison. even for the unlet-
tered, between conditions in this coun-
try and in Russia; comparison of Com
munist promises with what is delivered;
comparison of government wherein
people are slaves of the state and
government wherein the state is the
servant of the people; a comparison of
freedom of speech with thought con-
troll; comparison of the Russian stand
ara Of living with the American stand
ard; comparison of labor promoted as
result Of merit and labor promoted
solely by Communist Party politics;
comparison of state ownership of all
property with private ownership; a
comparison of slave labor with laborers
free to change jobs at will; compari-
son of tax-free opulent party members
with Wall Street capitalists in the IS
per cent bracket; comparison of the
Communist speed-up system with collec-
tive bargaining; a comparison of the
farmer on Russian state cooperative
with free farmer owning his own land;
comparison of America freeing Cuba
and the Philippines with Russia en-
Shaving the satellites: comparison of
countries welcoming visitors and per-
mitting freedom of travel with countries
behind the Iron Curtain; a comparison
of religious freedom with state-perse-
cuted religion. What a difference 1t
would make in the world

1t is probable that on account of these
considerations the United States would
not attempt to act separately in Iran,
and the result would be that Iran would
be destroyed simply because of the legal

Communist Beotinqs
F. G. Campbell.

In reply to the recent letter written
by c. Franks on your editorial page, it
seems that the writer has forgotten the
methods used by workers to express their
feelings. Since the ordinary worker is
not as skilled as Bernard Baruch in ex-
pressing his sentiments, diplomatically,
he uses the means with which he is
familiar.
don't mean to imply that "hooligan-
ism" should be an accepted means of
expression. Emphatically no. But the
curbing Of such a means would result in
widespread control that would con-
siderably damage our democratic system.
May I point out. too, that such means
are used often in labor strikes which are
a major democratic institution. There
fore. why should special consideration
be given to the Communists?

Kind Bus Drivers

In reply to Vera E. Adams grippe about
Battle Fatigue" from the Capital
Transit, would like to tell her that
every one isn't so unfortunate. I refer
to the bus drivers on the Mt. Rainier
to Cheverly run. These drivers not only
stop and wait when some one is running
to the bus, but on several occasions they
have helped ladies of the bus with their
groceries.
Once a driver stopped and helped put
out fire in an automobile, and another
time girl was half way up bank with
her auto and the driver stopped the
bus, got out and backed the car out.
My advice Is, either walk or stay home
