Diplomacy is not words. 1t does
not consist of warnings to the
Chinese people" who won't hear
the warnings anyhow. Diplomacy
Is not propaganda. Diplomacy con-
sists Of actions taken with view
to accomplishing certain results.
Most Critical Spot.
The most critical spot in the
world at the moment is Germany.
There, Russia IS bringing matters
to a head after months of dogged,
skillful preparation.
Months ago she replaced the
commander-in-chief OF the Polish
Army with Polish-born, Red
army-trained Russian citizen.
The purges in the satellite
states are part OF the prepara-
ton, the latest victim being the
Czechoslovak foreign minister, DR..
Vladimir Clements. a Communist,
but hostile to German revival.
Meanwhile, for fully two years,
the State Department has known
that the Soviets were creating a
German Red army in their zone,
while Russian propaganda has ap-
pealed to German nationalism and
unity, Offering Germans a leading
role in the great complex that
embraces one-third Of the earth. !"
During the last week in May,
these preparations will reach a
head when half a million men,
bers Of the Free German Youth, :"
largely recruited from ex-Nazis,
will invade the Western sectors Of
Berlin, accompanied and protected
by the new military units QUILTED
in military uniforms. For the first
time since the war Germans will
see in the flesh renascent Ger
man army.
All these preparations have
been fully known. So what has
Western total diplomacy" done to
offset them? Everything possible
to strengthen the morale OF the
pro-Western Bonn government,
and the German people?
The Atlantic nations have done
just the opposite. They have re-
fused to give any answer at all
to the question of West German
defense.

billion dollars. Maybe we should
seek way back to the days when
we were so happy and so poor!
Or, at least, not so scared.
"Hysteria, bordering on de-
spair," is our state of mind as de-
scribed by Representative Carl
Vinson Of Georgia, chairman of
the House Committee on the
Armed Services. That is a terri
BILE thing to have to say concern
ing a great, big, grown-up nation,
yet it is difficult to deny the basic
truth Of his observation.
Explains Spectacle.
1t explains the distressing spec
tacle being staged in the Senate
by the ambitious young Senator
from Wisconsin. 1t explains the
Senate's liberation of his reck-
less, irresponsible attack on long

suspects, or wishes the country to
suspect, of a lesser degree OF
loyalty than he claims for him.

it to the extent of taking time

draw their citizens and their
diplomatic missions from satellite
countries by making the lives of
Americans as difficult as possible
and their security highly question
able.
In Czechoslovakia, for instance,
the American Embassy has
warned our citizens that it can
not protect them and urged them
to leave the country.
Provocations Ignored.
Insofar as diplomatic missions
themselves are concerned, how
ever. the State Department is
determined not to play along with
the Russians. After breaking off
relations with Bulgaria, the ad-
ministraticn has decided to swal-
low all insults and to hang onto
present positions as long as pos
sible by keeping skeleton stats in
the remainder Of the satellite
nations.
Many provocations are being
ignored. Foreign Service officers
are resigned to living within the
limitations and restrictions i'm
posed on them. They are still able
to exchange visits with their
Western colleagues, but have not
seen any responsible satellite Off
cials for months.
They are not able to move out
side the capitals to which they
are assigned, except to very few
sections of the country after OBJ
tanning permits from the foreign
Office. They are kept under the
strict supervision of the secret
police.

Western countries, frequently are

2,4-D Weed Control
Valued High

WEED SPRAYING or busting
with 2,4-D for weed control is now
in class with summerfallow and
other regular good farming prac-
tees in most areas of the state. This
was the indication from a recent
survey of the Great Falls Havre-
Shelby triangle area in which some
40 farmers were contacted on their
opinion of the value of the new
weed chemicals
A few of the spring wheat grow
ers had never used 2,4-D for weed
control because their weed problems
were not very difficult. But others
who had not used them yet, were
planning on using the chemicals if
needed. More and more of the spring
wheat farmers have turned to the
practice of controlling their annual
weeds with 2,4D in these past few
dry years.
All winter wheat growers contact
ed had been using the chemical and
were enthusiastic about results.
Only one cautious note was struck
by Teton county farmer who adj
mitted being a little afraid of the
chemicals from the standpoint of
continued use and a possible resid-
ual effect on the soil. He was spray
ing as necessary but not unless his
weed situation was serious.
Here are few quotations from
some of the farmers interviewed:
700 Acres Saved
'We saved 700 acres of winter
wheat in 1948 1t yielded As bushels
to the acre. The same fields would
have been reseeded to spring wheat
if chemicals weren't there to do the
job."-Pondera county.
''We used 2,4-D two years ago and
had 20-bushel crop on fields that
would have been plowed up other
wise. There were 900 acres of mus
tard-infected winter wheat and we
got near 100 percent kill of these

have yielded S bushels to the acre
otherwise. Hill county.
AID has been used each year on
our place since it first was intro
duced in Montana and we think it
has about the same value as sum-

weeds have been from about 80 per-
cent in dry years to 100 percent
with good killing conditions. Pom
dera county.
"One of our fields yielded Is bush

Short Crops
"Short crops and bad weed condi-
tons these past three years have
really shown us the value of weed
chemicals We could expect a or

It's cold and blowy outside and you and I are lolling lazy-like in my cozy den. Your thoughts are on me, dim, misshapen figure screwed up in my deep chair before the fire. You know me as a good business man, fair bridge. player, and hopelessly poor golfer. You agree I've a sense of humor, but I'm Catholic.
 Of course you are no bigot. You don't even care what fool beliefs these Catholics have; but it does arouse bit of resentment to think such fanatics could be SO normal in other things. At last you blurt out rather suddenly:
 Say, old chap, how can you as a subject of foreign ruler, be a hundred per cent citizen of this country?"
 "The Pope?" I ask. "He shouldn't bother you-not fellow with your strict conscience. Your conscience dictates your actions in religion and morals, but you do not find those dictates conflicting any with your duties as citizen. It's the same with Catholics and the Pope. He dictates in civil matters to a few hundred people living on about l60 acres. He has nothing to do with civil affairs in America, Can- ada, England, or any other coun- try. In spiritual matters he rules over 338, ,386,000 Catholics through out the world somewhat as your conscience rules you, only his au- thority comes from God while yours comes from an innate sense

 "Humpf!" you exclaim. Some sense to that; but tell me how long soul must stay in Purgatory if his family has no money to bail him out? Why confess to a mere man when Gods right at hand? Why ask favors of the Virgin and the Saints, when God hears your every word? How about these di- vorces that you call annulments, and that terrible doctrine of celi- bacy? Why I've heard the orphan asylums are full of .''
 But here you stop. Perhaps you have gone too far. However, I am serene and unperturbed and you find my answers straightforward and really quite reasonable. So much so that you are glad to take home with you few pamphlets on these and other subjects.
 And now you have gone and I'll have to stop pretending. My deep regret is that shall probably never experience any such fireside chat with you. But am hoping that this little make-believe episode will arouse in you desire to know the true Catholic answers to the ques- tions I have made you ask here, or to any other Catholic questions.
