This Changing World
Renewed Cold War Pressure in Europe
Seen as Another Tricky Red Maneuver

, At the Hague conference which
ended last Saturday, France was
given the assignment of providing
the major part of the ground
forces for the defense Of Western
Europe. About 10 per cent of the 81
billion appropriated for the Mill
tary Aid Program for the l949-50
fiscal year has been allocated to
France. The French government
now must provide the manpower
with which to use this war ma
terial.
Could Overthrow Bidault.
A compulsory military service
Of one year is provided by law
in France. In order to create
new homogeneous groups it is
essential that at least 80 per
cent Of the electives should be
trained soldiers who can help
the raw recruits. Under these
conditions it will be difficult for
the French general staff to send
more seasoned soldiers across the
ocean without impairing the work
Of creating the ground force for
Western Europe.
Only partial mobilization would
enable the French government
to meet the threat in the Far
East and at the same time pro-
vide the required number of men
for the new combat divisions.
Such step unQuestionably would
bring about the fall Of the BIZ
dault government.
Thus, the French government
does not see how it could REIN
force its 100000 men who now
are suffering severe losses in
Indo- China and are likely to bear
the brunt of an all-out attack by
Communist leader Ho Chi Minis
forces which are being strength
ened from Communist China.
Nor can France send war mate
rial in any substantial quantity.
The Communist-organized dock
ers in all French ports have re-
fused consistently to handle war
material for Indo-China and fire.
quently have resorted to violence
when they discovered that ship
ments marked agriculture ma
chinery" were being loaded for the
Far Eastern protectorate.
The Russians are fully informed
about the precarious conditions
for the French and their native
troops in Indo-C China. They also
know that the defense forces in
Burma and Thailand are a mere
token and would melt away at the
first real onslaught by the Red
armies in the Far East, which
are strongly supported by local
Communists or sympathizers.

the screening process to which
the displaced persons are sub
jected, probably would surprise
most Americans. particularly
earlier immigrants and sons and
daughters of immigrants. The
Citizens Committee on Displaced
Persons has compiled the record
in this respect of one Czech
family, now safely settled on an
Ohio farm after five years of
waiting and hoping. The family
is that of Mr.. and Mrs. Aurel
Ludwig and their five children.
4 Years in Refuge Camp.
For four years the Ludwigs lived
in a dreary refugee camp in Aus
tria, along with 900 other persons
of a dozen different nationalities.
Mr. Ludwig worked as a farm
hand for an Austrian farmer,
obtained q five-month course of
instruction in auto mechanics and
acted as scoutmaster for Hun
garian DIP Boy Scouts in the
neighborhood. In his home coun-
try he had been a farmer and q
social worker. with a university
law degree.
When the line began to move
for the Ludwigs, they were first
interviewed by a woman from
Montana. representing the Lu-
theran Church, the Ludwigs being
Lutherans. Details obtained from
this interview were forwarded to
the Lutheran National Council in
New York. This agency then un-
dertook to find a suitable job and
family accommodations for the
Ludwigs in America.

The achievements Of the Negro

rean war front are proving to be
as effective on the Cold War front
as on the hot war front.
At present two policy leaders Of
the United States are formulating
a propaganda program not only to
refute Communist cold war tao
tics, but to also point out the posi-
tive facts about America to the
world.
Among the leading topics on the
propaganda front is the color line
subject The Reds are harping on
American prejudice against col
ored people and the American
treatment South.
The activities of the Oath and of
Negroes, particularly in the ex-
ploitation Of their achievements on
the front are helping America to
let the world know that Negro
troops do have responsibilities and
their native country is proud of
what they are doing.
Earlier in the cold war the USA
exploited the achievement of DR..
Ralph J. Bunche as UN mediator.
The prospective appointment OF
Edith Sampson to the UN General
Assembly also is expected to help
America.

CHICAGO BANS

NEW YORK, Aug. 24-The BAN
ming of the Twentieth Century Fox
film, "No Way Out" by Chicago
police censors, was vehemently pro-
tested this week by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. The Chicago
censors have claimed that the film
is dangerous and may incite vio-
lence.
In telegram to Mayor Martin
D. Kennedy, NAACP Executive
Secretary Walter White strongly
urged that the ban be 'reconsidered
and rescinded."
"This picture" Mr.. White stated,
"is the most fortnight and cour-
ageous perturbation Of the evil Of
race prejudice which has yet been
made. The Korean war has re-
vealed distrust Of the United States
in Asia and other parts of the
world, particularly among dark
skinned persons, because of con-
tinued existence of racial prejudice
in the. United States. No Way
Out exposes the evil nature of this
practice and instead Of melting to
riot, as police censor claims, will do
enormous good in the exactly oppo-
site direction"

police prevented what veteran OBJ

lid off the civil rights and evoked
one of the bloodiest riots in the
history of this country.
The whites protesting the NOV
ing in of the Negro families, de-
spite the sacrifice Negroes are
making in the Korean War, were
quieted after more than forty police
moved in to combat the outbreak.
The Mayors Committee. on hui

Seretse Leaves
Africa For
o Years

JOI1AlVINEODO RI, SOUTH AL
RIGA, Aug. 28.-(ANP)-Chief
Seretse Khama of the Bamang-
wato tribesmen of Bechuanaland,
boarded an Raj plane this week
to fly to England where we will
remain in the exile from his peo-
pie for five years.
Accompanying him was his
white wife, the former Ruth Will
liams, an ex-typist in London, and
their three months old baby. Also
with them was Nalide, Seretse
sister, who wants to take care of
the baby.
Seretse inherited all his troubles
because of his marriage to the
white woman without first coming
to the tribe. His uncle, Tshekedi
Khama, ruler of the government
until Seretse was ready to take
over, led the fight against this
marriage.
The British government entered
the situation by banning him from
his homeland for five years. 1t is
reported that the British are ready
to rescind the five years if Seretse
and his uncle can get together.
Tshekedi Khama on Seretse's
departure limited that some type
of agreement may be worked out
before long.
A group of IA tribesmen cried
as Seretse left his homeland. The
members of his tribe have supper
ted Seretse throughout most of
his marital and political woes.
