In the face of all this, with no spirit

whatever cost to the free world, the gro
tesque system which vainly promises to
build an alleged utopia on unspeakable
concentration camps and millions of

the glorious light Of freedom and re-
vealed as the heinous blasphemy it is.
If it takes billions of dollars to turn on

hope as Gods truth goes marching on.
There is no doubt that when the bat
tering rams of truth open up avenues
along which liberating ideas can march
into walled areas shackled multitudes
will cry out, I'VE choose freedom
The one thing Justification, distortion,
suppression and deception cannot stand
is the truth. We must convince the Rus
sian people and their fellow-slaves in
satellite countries that there can be no
freedom under the tyranny of Moscow.
We must reach them and win them
through the truth which makes men free.
And the truth which brings emancipa-

obscene thralldom the world has ever
known the ancient prophecy of doom:
your covenant with death shall be an

not stand Your refuge of lies shall be
swept away When the overflowing
scourge shall pass through ye shall be
trodden down by it. The mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it,"
This is the victory which will make all
mankind brothers.

Big Business
By Bruce Burton

AS a crude gawky kid in the Middle
West, used to try to imagine what New
York must be like-that rich, cold. wicked
city. All could picture was long.
thin island of three streets: Broadway
(dissipation), the Bowery (crime) and
Wall Street (money and gree6.
The "muckrakerS," as Theodore
Roosevelt called them. had made us
simple-minded Westerners believe that
Wall Street lived exclusively by the OPP
preston and persecution of farmers,
little storekeepers, and all honest, God
fearing, hard working people in the
provinces. Somewhere in the dark re-
cesses of the j. P. Morgan Office there
was secret room where Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Rockefeller and George F. Baker
met every morning and said to each
other: Whom shall we ruin today?"
When, one day, I myself arrived in New
York to take new job, my boyhood no.
tions blew up in thousand pieces.
To my amazement I discovered that
the big men in the big company that en-
ployed me were quite ordinary fellows
who let their wives boss them around.
and worried about their weight, and
seemed to have no master passion but
the hope Of lowering their golf scores.
If they had any well-developed plan for
sneaking money out of the pockets Of
the poor, never could get on to it,
In the ensuing years / have sat in
many confidential policy meetings with
these heads of big industries. Again and
again I have heard president say to
one of his associates: II admit that the
plan you propose would get us more
business, but it would be~a serious blow
to many of our small competitors We
just can't do it,"
Or: THAT is clever scheme, but I
think it is against the law. Or, if it isn't
against the law, it ought to be and some
day it will be-
Business has it's faults. But, by and
large, it is true, as DR.. johnson said:
There are few ways in which a man
can be more innocently employed than
in getting money"
For no man can get very much money
very long unless he is honestly producing
something that people need and want,
and selling it at price they can afford
to pay.
The Mexican poems have a saying: "It
is the little saints who annoy the Lord"
In business it is likely to be some very
little man who drops his hand onto the
scales when he is weighing the meat,
puts the big Strawberries at the top Of
the basket and the little ones at the bot
tom, or Judges on his income tax.
The big businessman has too much at
stake and knows he is too closely
watched.

Will They Strike at Formoso?

Although they have informed the United
Nations that thev are determined to seize For
mosa despite any military steps OF obstruction
taken by the United States" the Chinese Com
munists-if they really try to carry out their
threat-are likely to have a very difficult time
of it.
To begin with 100 miles of sea separate the
island from the mainland of Red China. Further,
on Formosa itself, the Nationalist regime OF
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek has at its COM
mand very large forces of well-trained and we'll
equipped troops Standing alone, those troops
because of the decidedly poor performance OF
Chiang's armies within the past couple OF years
might not inspire a great deal OF commence.
The fact is, however, that they do not stand
alone for allied with them now is substantial
portion of the power of the United States-a
development that can hardly fail to lift up their
spirits, reverse any prior trend toward defeatism
among them and markedly increase their will
to resist.
The portion of power is the 7th Fleet. AS
ordered by the President, it has interposed itself
between the island and the mainland, its SPECIFIC
mission-apart from its action in the Korean
theater-being ito prevent any attack on For
mosa." To that end besides its surface warships,
it has ready for use the striking force OF its
carrier planes, and it presumably has submarines
at it's disposal as we'll Given Sea-air barrier
of that kind plus Chiang's defending troops, plus
the problem of acquiring enough shipping and
naval strength for an amphibious assault across
100 miles of water, the Chinese Communists will
be taking on an extremely hazardous task if they
attempt to make good on what they have told
the U. N.
OF course, despite Red Chinas charge that
the present role of the 7th Fleet constitutes
American aggression, the operation ordered by
the President is purely defensive in character
It's major purpose, aside from promoting our own
safety, is to maintain the status quo at Formosa
to keep war away from it, and to hold in abey-
ance the question of its future disposition-a
question whose answer, in Mr.. Truman's words
must await the restoration of security in the
Pacific, peace settlement with Japan, or con-
sderation by the United Nations" Certainly, our
naval force will not shoot unless the Communists
attack. Our non-aggressive pacifyng intent is
emphatically underscored by our move in getting
Chang to cease all sea and air actions against
the mainland.
Yet, although it is thus not an act of aggres-
sion but an act aimed at pacification, the Chinese
Communists-if their words may be taken at face
value-plan to answer our intervention with an
effort to take Formosa. This Immediately raises
the question whether they are going to be backed
up by the Soviet Union with surface ships, air
power and Russian manned submarines. It is
o grim question. If the answer proves to be In

The Pot and the Kettle

At his press conference last week, the Pres-
dent announced that he is still giving 100 per
cent support to two of his nominees-Sumner T.
Pike and Martin A. Hutchinson-who have run
into trouble in the Senate Mr.. Truman also
denounced the opposition to Mr.. Pike as the
product of pure politics-Republican party pol
itics.
The indications are that the President is right
about this. BY margin of five to four, the SEN
atorial half of the Congressional Atomic Energy
Committee voted against confirmation. The
majority was composed of four Republicans and
one Democrat. These opponents of MIR. Pike who
has served on the Atomic Energy Commission
since its inception, have not come forward with
any persuasive grounds for their opposition. And
they have failed to produce any evidence to sup
port their generalized complaint that Mr.. Pike
was not sufficiently vigorous in pushing such
projects as the hydrogen bomb.
If Mr. Pike, Maine Republican, is incom-
petent then, of course, it Is the duty OF the
Senate to reject the nomination. But lacking
substantial evidence of incompetence-and the
burden of testimony which has been made public
is quite to the contrary-it is the duty OF the
Senate to confirm Mr.. Pike. To do otherwise
would be grossly unfair to the individual and
could be expected to discourage other able men
from taking Government posts Unless Senator
Hickenlooper and his supporters come forward
with better case than they have yet produced
against Mr.. Pike, the Senate most certainly
should confirm him when the vote is taken to-
morrow.
The Stars feeling that Mr.. Pike should be
confirmed however, does not mean that it has
any particular sympathy with the Presidents
complaint that the Republicans are playing pol
itics Maybe they are. But the President was
doing the same thing when he nominated Mr..
Hutchinson for a place on the Federal Trade
Commission.
That also was pure politics-White House
politics.
Mr. Hutchinson and Senator Byrd have been
fighting each other in Virginia for years. The
President knew this when he picked Mr.. Hutchin-
son, and The Star hasn't the slightest doubt that
the nomination was a political maneuver de-
signed to embarrass Senator Byrd. So it is
possible to be something less than overwhelmed
by Mr. Trumans dissertation on politicking by
the Republicans On that score it is just an
other case of the pot calling the kettle black

The. 7 ruth Bomb

The first lesson in the primer of VIC
tory is "T is for TRUTH More powerful
than any other bomb is that which Gen.
eral Eisenhower has recently designated
as the T-bomb. The most devastatingly
explosive thing in the world is truth.
History proves, again and again. that
there is no force equal to the pulveriz-
ing impact of facts.
There are certain theories which have
no support in the nature of things and
which, therefore, at last must be dis
credited. There are other valid concep-
tions for which the very stars in their
courses fight. To live, or die, for them
is to be on the side of the angels. This
is not to claim that all those who accept
the democratic doctrine are angels, and
those who deny it are devils. Let us sadly
confess that the denials Of democracy
by some who march under its banners
are many and grievous But that is not
the point. The fundamental fact in the
present global struggle is that the slave
system which stems from the Kremlin
conspiracy is based upon palpable eco
nomic and ethical falsehoods, and that
the free system, based, for instance. on
the truth of that immortal phrase about
dli lHcIi ucIlS SIiuUWcu ny GfleH ESFedtOT
with certain inalienable rights, rests upon
eternal truth.
A distinguished group of men, states
men, clergymen, educators, met to draft
in positive terms what Western democ-
racy means by the truth. They agreed
on this conclusion "All men should be
free to think. to speak. to write and
create, to approve and criticize, to as
semble and organize, to choose an occu-
patton, to improve their condition, to
worship their own God. to follow their
own conscience, and to pursue their own
goals. Freedom is the ancient, eternal.
and implacable foe of the totalitarianism
and every form of tyranny over the bodies
and minds of men,"
Opposed to all that is implied in that
ringing credo is the sinister system which
exalts atheism, puts supreme confidence
in the twisted conceptions of MARKHAM
materialism and, proclaiming its gospel
with militant zeal, marches forth to
conquer the world. The free and united
nations are obligated to repudiate and
to refute this false doctrine and to con-

Rabbits with spotted ivers are
mostly affected with coccidiosis. The
coccidia are taken in with feed and
water contaminated by sick rabbits.
About the only certain measure of
prevention is to keep the rabbits on
wire mesh floors, for the coccidia
seem capable of living long time in

rabbits from taking in any more
coccidia, and the wire floor is the
best route to that end.

Junior Meets an MP Weorino
"A Red Scarf for Good Reason

Junior shouted to one of the med
les, 1T must be pretty safe still
if the little people in pink neckties
are going up there. You never
can find an MP if the Cooks are
coming down the road"
We rode about a mile. Red then
pulled back into line as the MP
dismounted to clear the path of
some vehicles that had massed in
double column.
IF I ever see that MP at the
front I'll shoot him." said Junior
loudly, patting his rifle. The
other medics laughed but the lit.
tie MP never turned his head.
Right there is where the Cooks
overran our aid station" said
Junior, pointing at a draw in the
hills. we were right near the
artillery. They were all around
us before we knew it-and they
got most of us.
See that rock up there? A
Cook up there was firing at me. I
tried to get back at him with my
carbine. I fired so rounds at him
and missed every time. Then a
doughboy next to me lifted up
his rifle and knocked off the Cook
with one shot.
Nerves Okay Again.

down, I just laid on the ground
and shook. I guess they'd kept us
up here too long. They sent me
back to the hospital for a rest.
But my nerves are okay now again
i guess. 1t sure looks peaceful
up here now"
The road ahead was clear. The
little MP climbed into his jeep
and backed up behind us to tell us
we could go ahead.
We'll, I guess Little Red Riding
Hood is going back to the rear
to beat UP some more soldiers"
Junior said loudly. IT'S the only
fun an MP ever has. But if I ever
catch him at the front I'll"
Junior paused because the MP
had walked around and was
standing in front of him. His fea-
lures were working in wordless
anger. But as he glared into
Juniors defiant eyes something
seemed to calm him.
Slowly and deliberately the MP
took off his bright scarlet scarf.
A wide and terrible scar stretched
from his chin down across his
throat and disappeared beneath
his jacket. 1t was the kind of
scar a large mortar or artillery
shell fragment leaves. And it was
only freshly healed.
The MP wiped the dust and
sweat from his face with the
scarf. He rolled the scarf into
a ball and tossed it into Juniors
lap. Then he stepped back and
smiled.
Good luck, son." he said.
AS our vehicle started up the
long road, one of the medics said
to Junior:
What did you say you were
going to do to that MP if you ever
catch him up front?"
Shut up!' said Junior. And
nobody looked at Junior for a
long time-for fear he might
begin to cry.
