Wendell Willkie and Harold
Stassen profited in the past from
the sincere efforts of members of

some reason they never really

this of little help now that ] am
on the spot where all of this rig
marole took place.
My ignorance has shone like q
lighthouse ever since I arrived.
For example, when I was urged
to visit Sakkara 7 wanted to ask
what Sakkara was and why
should go there. Now, having
been there, I can't imagine any
one being such an ignoramus as
not to be familiar with it and
longing to go there.
Now let me show off for a para
graph or two.
Sakkara is the greatest necrop-
oils in the world, having been the
burial ground for the once great
city Of Memphis. Memphis was the
living city. Sakkara the dead city.
It is also the home of the first
pyramid. the Step pyramid, so
named because it is built in Sc
ries Of six steps. It was old when
Cheops decided to build his mighty
tomb, and it was undoubtedly
from the Step pyramid that Che
ops drew his inspiration. How
many of you were ever taught any
thing about the Step pyramid in
school? It has been treated like a
stepchild.
Sees Cheops Pyramid.
It Is granted, however, that the
Step pyramid cannot compare in
grandeur with the massive struc-
ture Of Cheops, which we saw yes
terday just before the sun went
down. This is the best time of day
to see the Great Pyramids and the
Sphinx. The surrounding desert
takes on a soft. golden color, and
the dying sun bathes the massive
monuments in light which takes
away the harshness of the stone
and obscures the wear and tear of
the centuries.
The Sphinx is particularly
lovely when mellowed by the
colors of near twilight. All the
descriptions you have read about
it are true. The face becomes
gentle, benign. enigmatic. and
you would have to be different
from most people if you did not
experience a feeling of awe.

have a way of unifying impulse,
tend to diminish carping political
criticism, and focus public atten-
tioh sharply and dramatically on
the President, whoever he may be,
and it must be remembered that,
as well as being President and
commander-in-chief, he also is
leader of political party. The
current crisis is no exception in
those respects.
President Truman has won
widespread support for his prompt
and courageous action to protect
our national security and save the
United Nations.
The unifying effect of the crisis
is observed in two interesting re-
actions, among others:
1. The quick action by Congress
to put through an adequate draft
bill and the $1,225. 100000 arms
aid bill, with a melting away of
opposition to both measures about
which there was considerable diff
ference of opinion and a reluc-
tance to hurry until the North
Korean army slashed its way
across the 38th parallel.
2. The chorus of criticism that
engulfed Senator Taft of Ohio
when finally, after "a hours, he
gave grudging and conditional ac-
quiescence, approving what the
President had done, but insisting
that Mr.. Truman should have Sc
cured approval from Congress in
advance and demanding the re-
signation of Secretary of State
Dean Acheson. It was obvious
that this attitude did not take
well. especially since it was in de-
cided contrast to the prompt high
praise, with no strings attached
by such outstanding Republican
leaders as Herbert Hoover and
Gov. Dewey.

whether the Korean aggression is
a curtain raiser for World War III
or a mere trial balloon sent up
by the Kremlin to test the pa
tience of the free nations. The
decision for peace or war rests
entirely with the IA men in the
Kremlin.
Because of this uncertainty and
the danger of the free worlds be-
coming involved in another global
war, diplomacy gradually is be-
coming subordinated to strategy
When President Truman in his
capacity as commander chief
last Tuesday reversed the State
Departments ''hands off" policies
in Formosa by ordering the Sew
enth Fleet to protect the island
against a Chinese Communist in
vasion, he was following the ad-
vice of the military.
The same thing happened the
next day in London. where Prime
Minister Clement Attlee, acting on
the strong advice of the Imperial
General Staff. decided that Brit
ain should place everything it had
in the Far East at the disposal
of Gen. Macarthur, instead of CIV

There is no question in the
minds of Western military lead
ers that Russia has the capability
to launch a successful attack
against any nation in Eastern
Asia or Europe. AS in the case of
Korea, she is bound to have an
initial success because she has the
advantage of choosing her tar
gets and launching a surprise at
tack. The Western bloc's military
preparedness is only beginning
and exists now mostly on paper.
Views Given Privately.
Under these conditions and un-
der the fear that the first period
of possible East-West war would
be fully advantageous to the Reds.
the top military strategists of the
West once more are urging the in
clusion of Spain in our overall
defense setup. Their views are
being presented privately to the
men who are in a position to

change the present policy of keep

lation. These views are voiced in
| the United States by members o1
both houses of Congress.
The political arguments which
prevailed in the past in favor Of
the present policy OF keepinf
Spain out of the family Of West
Iern nations are greatly over
shadowed by dire military neces-
sity. Those who look at the
situation realistically point out
that the diplomats theory that
Spain .shas nowhere to 60" in case
of another world war, and must
of necessity join the West, should
be rejected. It is true that the
Madrid government would never
join the Russians and will find
it hard to remain neutral in the
face of an onslaught by the REQ
atheists. The main question al
this time is how useful Spain car
be as an ally If the necessary
military supplies do not reach he1
armed forces in time.
We know from our present ex-
perienec III Korea what it means
to meet a Communist attack
against a country which has moi
been prepared militarily for such
an eventuality. Its defenses were
shattered before American wal
materials could arrive and Ameri.
can forces. including ground
troops, had to be rushed to hold
the lines. The Koreans themselves
could have held them il they. had
been properly prepared for such
a task.
May Apply to Spain.
The same thing may apply to
Spain. Unless needed weapons
such as tanks, antiaircraft artil-
lery, radar and other essentials
of modern war are sent in time
to permit some Of its 400 .000-
man army to learn to handle them
it may be too late to send them
after a Soviet attack on Western
Europe has developed.
Spain's difficult terrain may
make it difficult for ground forces
to invade that country. But an
air attack might paralyze the
Spaniards' power of resistance
Moreover at the present time they
do not have sufficient equipment
to Withstand an attack from
Soviet airborne forces.
It is emphasized in military
quarters in this country as well
as in Western Europe that Spain
is strategically important, NOT
only as a beachhead for American
forces in Europe, but also because
it controls the vital waterways ir
the Mediterranean.
