Propaganda of Deeds Goes Farther
Than Any Propaganda of Words

not Offset Russian deeds. In the
countries more likely to accept the
Russian propaganda. however, the
need for our counter-propaganda
is clear and the need should be
met in every possible way.
Unhappily. we cannot propa-
gandize all the truth concerning
ourselves, for some of it is the
truth that hurts. the truth that
Russia cheerfully propagandizes
against us. The United Press a
few days ago reported the result of
a survey 1t had undertaken
through its correspondents in sc
countries to determine the human
freedom in the world today" The
UPS conclusion was that 10
countries appear to enjoy more
freedom than does the United
States. The 10 countries: France
Holland. Belgium, Luxembourg
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Italy
Switzerland and Uruguay.
Good for Us to Know,
We are among the IL given 100
per cent on freedom of speech and
press and the "a given 100 per
cent on freedom of religion; but
we rate only IS per cent on social
equality, 80 per cent on political
equality and 80 per cent on
equality of economic opportunity
In the last three categories we
rate better than some, much
worse than some others.
That. according to the CORE
spondents, is how others see us
and it should be good for us to
know it. 1t reveals what we are
up against as we seek to carry the
propaganda of truth" to the
world. 1t reveals, as the chief lin
itation Of propaganda, that what
we do or fail to do is more i'm
portant than what we say.
The greatest single bit of propa-
ganda in our behalf in recent
years, perhaps, is the story OF
iva, the story of how the re-
sources of a whole region were
turned by daring imagination and
courageous purpose to the bene.
fit of all the people in that region
People have come from every cor
ner of the globe to see it's wonders
The story of iva told itself, with
out the benefit of radio or other
techniques.
Our worst propaganda lies in
the conditions that make possible
the rs, 80 and 80 per cent ratings
related above. Since the struggle
we are in may be a long one
shouldn't we be doing something
about those conditions?

which blew up in the Hiss case;
by incredible postponements in
screening spies, even when fore
warned, as in the Fuchs case; and

Address Of Thucydides.
Looking over the past five years,
one is reminded of the address of
the Corinthians to their Lacedae-
monian allies, 2,400 years ago, as
recorded by Thucydides:
"You are people who never do
anything. On the approach of an
enemy you are content to defend
yourselves, not by acts. but by in
tentions, and to overthrow him,
not in the infancy. but in the full
ness of his strength. How come you
to be considered safe? That rep
utation was not justified. The Per-
sian made his way from the ends
of the earth before you encoun-
tered him in worthy manner. and
now you are equally blind to your
newest enemy. -. Some have al
ready been ruined by the hopes
you have inspired in them, lead
ing them to take no precautions
themselves.
Have you ever considered what
manner of men these enemies are,
and how utterly unlike yourselves?
They are revolutionary, quick in
the conception and execution of
every new plan, while you are
conservative, careful only to keep
what you have, originating moth
ing. They are bold beyond their
strength whereas it is your
nature, though strong, to act
feebly. :.
You do not see that peace is
best secured by those who use
their strength justly. Justice.
with you, seems to consist in Civ
ing no annoyance to others and of
defending yourselves only against
immediate injury. But this policy
would hardly be successful even
were your enemy like yourselves;
and in the present case your ways,
compared to his, are old-fashioned.
AS in the arts, so in politics,
the new must always prevail over
the old"

the hnoWland proposal serious
consideration. But within his own
official family the logic of events
is making changes and will make
more.
Symingt0n to Fore.
Tossed highest of all by the
Korean crisis is w. Stuart Sym
ington, chairman of the National
Security Resources Board. A re-
organization reform has just es-
tablished the NSRB chairman as
supreme commander of war mo-
bilization, almost an Assistant
President. 1t can work because the
President likes Mr.. Symington and
wholly supports him.
Generally speaking he is also
popular with the other Board
members. all of Cabinet rank,
who will now only advise him. Ex-
|ception: Defense Secretary John
son with whom his relations are
lukewarm.
w. Averrell Harriman's job a.
White House foreign affairs aide
is more important since Korea.
Mr.. Hartman is vastly expert
enced, knows everybody and Is
well liked. He has a modest tenn
permanent, unlikely to clash with
the more effervescent Mr.. Sym
ington. ~
In any really critical situation
Sidney Souers can be expected to
return to the White House as
Presidential Chief of Staff, the
role Admiral Leahy filled for Mr.
Roosevelt. Mr. Souers recently
retired as secretary of the Ma
tional Security Council to attend
to private business; actually he
has been working almost as hard
as before for the President.
What the President will do in
economic matters will be influenced

Nothing could be more useful, for
example, than to spread as widely
as possible the declaration of Pre-
mier Nehru-as no doubt we are
doing.
Congress is now being asked to
authorize considerable expansion
of such propaganda facilities. The
support given to this proposal by
Secretary Acheson, John Foster
Dulles, Gen. Marshall, Gen. Eisen-
hover and other eminent Ameri-
cans is understandable. They know
how necessary it is that the truth
of this matter shall anticipate or
overtake the great untruth being
promulgated by the enemy,
namely, that Korea is the victim
of imperialistic American aggres-
sion.
Limit to Accomplishment.
There is limit, of course, to
what can be accomplished by radio
or other propaganda, either by
ourselves or any other people.
David Sarnoff, chairman of the
board of RCA, testifying before
the Senate committee, said we
should be spending 5000 million
instead of the present $34 million
and called attention to reports
that Russia is now Steppinp IN
it's broadcasts to North America,
putting them on a 7-day-a-week
24-hour- -a-day basis. If true, this
probably is pure waste on Russia S
part. Germany gave us that treat
ment, preceding and during World
War II, doing an artful job that
Russia cannot begin to equal even
today. The result was absolutely
minus.
In this country Russian lies will

put into action at least twice the
forces intended for that theater
of operation, in order to accom-
plish the mission entrusted to us.
Can't Deplete u. S. Forces.
If we deplete the defense forces
in the United States there will be
nothing available for the pro-
lection of such strategic bases
as Alaska, Greenland and Iceland,
which are considered the logical
points for surprise attacks by the
Russians in an all-out war against
America.
It is only with those bases in
their possession that Russian avi-
alton can hope to start large-scale
attacks against the industrial
heartland of the United States.
Thus, whichever way we turn, it
looks as If we will be unable to
engage in a real offensive in Ko-
rea unless we order all American
industrial and manpower drafted
Otherwise we may discover that
Korea has been only deception
in order to render us incapable
of meeting other far more direct
and vital thrusts at our security.
While everything humanity pos
sible Is being done on the Korean
battle front, where we are fight
ing against overwhelming odds
inspired" critics of Gen. Mac
Arthur are hurting brickbats at
him and his command on the
air and in the prints.
The attacks are revival Of the
"Dugout Doug" story Of 1912 and
1943, when the former command
er in the Philippines was accused
of hiding deep down in Corregidor
and being out of contact with his
troops when the Japanese at
tackled in the Philippines. This
time he is not being accused of
cowardice but incompetence.
The American people are being
told that Gen. Macarthur did not
train his men properly and that
his ranking officers lead a disso-
lutte life in Tokyo, where they put
their pleasures ahead of the train
ing of youngsters for combat. The
fact that until recently we have
not had more than 1000 men in
the front line against several
enemy divisions, and that the
green troops behaved like veter-
ans, apparently makes little i'm
preston on these commentators
If they had not had proper train
ing the Lost Battalion" would
never have been able to fight It's
way out of the trap which full
Korean division sprang on it.
1t is true that the GIs did not
have the necessary tank and ar
tillery support at first. But Korea
is $50 miles across the sea from
Japan and even a magician could
not have rushed the bulky equip
ment needed to cover the small
contingent which was rushed tc
the front.
The explanation of why the
South Koreans were unprepareo
is to be found in the directives
from Washington to the American
military mission. These said that
the South Koreans should be pre-
pared to keep internal order in
stead of being developed into a
real army capable of defending
the country.
