THE KOREAN NAR-BRITISH PUBLIC OPINION

Asia we are with the corrupt, and op-
pose honesty, in government elsewhere
in that region.
The Guardian says I'm the Phillip

stagnancy of the government stimulate

Korea).
The Guardian forecasts for us endless
trouble, if when, we are drawn, or mer-
rily jump, into a general war to contain
Communism in East Asia
whatever the outcome of the Ko-
rean crisis, the struggle to contain
Communism in Asia will probably be
a long one. The Western Powers, in
planning their strategy, will be wise to
try to understand the advantages which
the Communists enjoy in that CONT
nent. They hold the inner lines in
two senses. Geographically they are
based on Russia and China and are
able to shoot out their influence at
whatever point on the borders seems
to be at any time weakest. Thus the
initiative lies with Them they can
shift their pressure suddenly as resist
ence grows up in any one area Second
ly in ideas they have the compact
strength of dogmatism and orthodoxy,
and this also gives them kind of
inner line. They PROFOUND a doctrine
which, whatever may be thought of
it, makes a whole and can be applied
to all human interests, political, eco
nomic; cultural and religious. THE
Communist party is a kind of inter-
national secular church, and this gives
Communism both a rather awful pres
tige and also it's corpS of disciplined
agents in all the countries it is threat
ening. In contrast with this strong
position of Communist Asia is the dis
unity of the countries on it's periph-
cry. Their weakness is a typical "outer

there for the continued exercise of

know, has published the alarming
facts told by Winston Churchill, who
of course, is known as an enemy of the
Soviet Union and all it stands for.
Churchill has changed his tone from
his speech at Fulton, Missouri when he
rushed our President and America into

could contain Communism if they unit

debatable. He now believes that this
lead will continue and increase.
He does not tell why. If he did,
American dollars might stay at home.
One reason is that the financial struc-
ture of the Communist nations, Czecho-
slovakia, Poland, Hungary, the Soviet
Union, is now respectively sounder than
that of the United States. We have

Soviet Union has no public debt worth

debt, every man, woman, and child in
the U. S. owes above $4,000. Not many
families of five can ever pay an I'M

man so far in hopeless debt goes into
bankruptcy. Nations follow the same
course.
The Manchester Guardian believes
that the Korean War is just one phase
of an East Asian war: That it seems
a beginning of war of the West

perhaps the Philippines. And just as

in our constitutional and truly rep
resentative democracy and the change
is taking place every day as we can
witness if we will only look about us.
Is it necessary that we should sur
render all of our freedoms to one man
or a group men and say, Here, you
are all-wise and all-good, we are there
fore leaving it to you to decide our en-
tire destiny and if we refuse to do as

nit treason or near treason to bring
about social and economic change in
truly workable democracy if those
are the only things one is truly in
tereSted ~ To me the answers seem
to be self-apparent.
Judging from his articles Mr.. Maury
and his fellow writer's would, if they
would take the time to read it through,
find little in the Bible to bear out
their line of reasoning, but they would
find much that would refute not only
their ideas but their motives and meth
DDS of furtherance of those ideas as
we'll 1t was Christ's desire, and that
is the basis and foundation of all
great world faiths, that we live to-
gether like brothers but that the nee

each individual by himself from the

nists and their fellow travellers still
are foolish enough to deny God.
We are now engaged in a desperate
fight for our survival and it seems to
me that even Mr.. Maury in his vene
nous TRADES against anything we do
contrary to the communist policy of the
moment must know of the evils within
the enemy span. Surely he cannot be
stepped in their evil propaganda as to
be entirely blind to it. What then leads
him on in this path of seeming sedition
and betrayal?
If Mr.. Maury, by reference to his
is so convinced of the beauty
Of dctatorial, ambitious, Stalinist com

American democracy it would perhaps
be refreshingly delightful to him to
flee the muck and CRIME of this de-

that he do just that and that he in

could it be that everyone has developed
a kulak taste for white bread and the

HAMILTON PAYS A VISIT TO "ALLEHs ALLEY"
By LEVERNE HAMILTON,
Thompson Falls

And now We'll take a little stroll
down ALIENS Alley" and take our
young friend Nat to the mat.
Mats father myself, and a few more
so-called rebels stood shoulder to
shoulder thru some trying times dur
ing and Immediately following the first
world war, ito end wars" and I have
known Nat since he was in rompers,
and so, due to the respect and high
esteem which I have for his late father
I won't chide him as severity as his
faulty logic would otherwise merit.
Now Nat, as rising young attorney
you should get the entire facts of your
case rather than to depend on just
portion of them, otherwise when your
case comes to trial you may find your
self 'out on a limb as you are in
this matter. Then also it is never good
legal policy to indulge in personalities
unless you have a very weak case.
You say that Lowndes Maury and I
are 35 years behind in our facts. Well
Nat, back in 1892 I heard a republican
federal judge roundly applauded for
saying from an American Legion plat
form the very things they tried to jail
me for saying sixteen years before
that, so if 1 was sixteen years ahead
of time then. [ can't have fallen 35
years behind since then.
But now to get down to the issue of
Industria1ists and Munition manufact-
urers benefiting from war. You have
quoted a few statistics and so I will
come back with a few of the same that
you have apparently overlooked Re-
member what Bill Nye used to say
about statistics? There are three kinds
of liars, plain, liars, damn liars and
statistics. In other words if you only
quote or use a portion of the statis-
ties you may find yourself "out on
limb But here are some of the sta
tistics you didn't quote or overlooked
L have before me the data on some
fifty corporations but since you only
cited two or three I'll confine myself
to two or three you mention. On Dec.
81, 1910 General Motors has assets of
half billion dollars. On Dec. 81, 1919
this corporation, GIN has assets of
24,074,217. T h cir assets almost
doubled during the nine year period.
On Dec. 81, 1910, US Steel had assets
of $1,S54, 5S5,741. And on Dec. 81, 1919
their assets had increased to $2,556,365,-
712, or almost doubled during the nine
year period. Do you by any chance
mean to tell us that this phenomenal
hostilities in 1916 or in the short space
of four years? If so, the profits of
these corporations would stand scrut-
my by federal authorities. And even
if that were the case it still does not
prove your contention that their phe-
nomenal benefits were not due to the
war. 1t shows the contrary, for this
reason.
True the OPA was functioning dur
ing the period of hostilities and prof
it's may have been curbed somewhat
thereby, but do you remember how

evolution of their way of life and to
better the lot of the common folk
by the free expression of their will.
What have we to deduce from that?
When the US government refused the
assistance of the Chinese Nationalists
and the Japanese they may have thot
as Mr.. Maury presumptuously claims
General Macarthur did, that the loyalty
of such support was unreliable; but
it is obvious that even if their loyalty
were above doubt-and there are many
anti-communists among them-to have
accepted such help would have been to
inevitably spread the conflict and more
seriously risk the peace of the world.
Mr.. Maury presents figures of the
armed might of the USSR and the Wes-
tern Democracies showing the numer-
zeal superiority of the former, with the
apparent intention of furnishing an
other reason for America abandoning
Asia or perhaps to convince us of the
will for peace of the Soviet Union. 1t
is also, of course, a reason for re-arm-
ament. Does he infer that America
should bow to intimidation? His state
ment There are exactly as many sold
iers from the Atlantic Pact nations
fighting with our boys in Korea now,
as will be fighting with our boys if
we provoke the Soviets into war" is
mischievous and arrant nonsense. The
cnOlce Oh the WOrQ provoke was pl-
quaint indeed.
Mr.. Maury is only on the fringe of a
profound and subtle truth when he
writes 1--WE respect the life of the in
dividual, with the Oriental and the
Slav the individual person is naught
compared with the salvation of the
hive. Sometimes, of course, the hive
and the individual are inter-dependent.
Need I remind the Voice that it is
the fundamental rights of man that
are important to us. We will not pre-
serve them or attain them by taking a
narrow view of world affairs or by
wishful thinking. What might have
been has, alas, no relation to reality
Articles like Mr.. Maury'S impose on the
intelligence of their readers and disap-
point those who seek in this newspap-
er enlightened championship of the
ethics of our hard won democracy
wherever they exist If the nations of
the world could achieve mutual toler-
ance and the conditions for peace thru
their organization everything else
would fall into place and there would
be no need for American soldiers any
where. AS it is, we have little choice
but to show that we will resist armed
coercion. While the machinery of de-
mocracy exists we cannot but protect
it as we try to give it deeper meaning
and significance.

enloopers and Parnell Thomases. 1t
is this that the Voice should energeti-
cally attack instead of giving space to
partisan half-truths.
By a more enlightened liberalism,
America could have strengthened her
position in Asia, morally and physi-
cally, and may even have avoided the
dangerous situation there but would
it have altered the attitude of the Sow
let Union?
Mr.. Maury declares that the solution
lies in abandoning Korea, Japan and
all Asia" and recognizing China. If
America abandons Asia there are SIM
liar reasons for the abandonment of
Europe. Again we may ask-whither
the Soviet Union?
The British and Indians, notably,
have long since recognized Red China
and show signs of approaching the
problems there; but have so far been
unable to establish diplomatic rela
lions with the Chinese, or in other
words, have experienced the humifiat-
ing rebuff of not being recognized"
in return. What have we to deduce
from that
Is it so surprising to Mr.. Maury that
the American people should show lit
tie enthusiasm for war? He states "75
per cent of the voters, if allowed to ex-
press a choice, would tomorrow vote
to Immediately eVacuate korea-and
also Formosa-and also Japan. 1t is
only necessary to recall 1910, when
the British stood alone against Fas-
cism, to discover that the American
voter then entertained similar feelings
with respect to Europe. 1t took Roos-
evelt long time to carry the decisive
weight of the USA to the aid of the

War RACES

BY GEORGE IMMERSION, Hysham

By GEORGE EMMERSON, Hysham
Lowndes Maury's article on the war
in Korea in the July 81 issue of the
Voice is, to be generous, a dangerous
over simplification of a great and per-
picking problem, the problem of World
Peace, OF which the situation in Korea
is merely fragment A problem in
which the US is not the only nation
concerned and one that has so far baf-
fled and vexed thinking people the

and 1t has acted in Korea A study of
the voting on this issue shows aston
ishing unanimity among the member
nations, even India voted in favor! The
legal position is abundantly clear.
The Northern Koreans have inVad-
ed South Korea with a well prepared
equipped and organized army, despite
their awareness of the position of the
United Nations on this matter and the
possibility of endangering the peace
and lives of the common people, the
world over. Whatever the excuses for
this belligerent action, the North Kor-
cans have taken the law into their own
hands and put themselves in the posi-
ton of aggressors. 1t is pathetically
naive of Mr.. Maury to say Maybe they
were, at first"
1t must be agreed that America has
shown irritating ineptitude in it's sup
port of disreputable governments in
backward areas of the globe where
drastic and sweeping reform is a crying
need. Apart from the influence of

be found in the deplorable provincial
ism of most Americans-and Mr..

bined with the fact that America is
not yet an adult democracy and suf-
