Nehru and the Reds

Nehru and the Reds
Prime Minister Nehru is one of the
chief proponents of the plan to evict
the Chinese Nationalists from the Sc
curity Council and to seat the Chinese
Communists. He has persuasive argu-
ments in favor of the plan.
Mr. Nehru would be the first to admit,
I think. that living conditions in India
are still tragic, and that poverty. igno-
rance, famine and disease could provide
as fertile field for communism in India
as it has in China.
In order to bring closer home Mr..
Nehru's arguments for the admission
of Red China into the United Nations.
let us assume that through inf1ltration
and agitation In Afghanistan and in
India. Russia could build up strong
Communist movements in both those
troubled countries. With a Russian
Army poised on the Russo Afghan
border, 1t would be easy to bring about
a Communist coup d'etat in Afghanistan.
Following the familiar pattern, Indian
Communist guerrillas would seize north
ern India. Indian Communist armies
trained and supplied by Russia. would
be fighting the Nehru forces.
Meanwhile, in this country and in
Great Britain, so-called liberals" would
sing the Russian written theme song
that there is corruption in the Indian
Congress Party which Nehru heads Gas
there is) and that the Communist move
ment in India is reform movement"
with bold plans to combat famine and
disease. Loud voices would be raised
against interference in an Indian Civil
War" Our Government might be ex-
pected to listen to these half-truths and,
together with Britain, to withdraw all
support-military, economic and moral
from the pariah, Nehru. The Indian
Communists, with the all-out support
of the Kremlin, would soon drive Nehru
and the remnants of his army into exile.
The dust would settle and the Commu-
Il nistS would be the de facto government
of India. According to the theme song
Jawaharlal Nehru and his group would
no longer represent the people" of India.
Would Mr.. Nehru then advocate the
expulsion of his own representatives from
the United Nations and the admission,
in their place, of the representatives of
Red India?
Would the Communist victory over the
Nehru forces constitute victory of ma
tionalism'' over "colonialism"? The
battle between these two 'isms," ancient
history now, seems to concern Mr.. Nehru
more deeply than the current battle be-
tween freedom and slavery.
If we are to follow the Nehru leader
ship in our Asian foreign policy. as the
State Department seems inclined to do,
let us hope that Mr.. Nehru decides
before it is too late, which is the real
threat to Asia today-the dead bogey
of western colonialsm' or the vicious
aggressive Communist tyranny that may
yet turn his India into a slave state
serving Red Russia. L. r. X.

Bring 1t to the Floor

lot of behind -the-scenes maneuvering
seems to have led to the pigeonholing in the
House District Committee of the Senate-approved
bill to enlarge the scope of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. Apparently 1t
was not open criticism of certain provisions of
the bill which prevented it from reaching the
floor of the House. Such frank criticism led to
agreement on revisons that made the measure
acceptable to those who at first had misgivings
about the legislation For example sponsors of
the plan indicated willingness to amend the bill
in several details in accordance with suggestions
of District of Columbia. Maryland and Virginia
authorities. None of these jurisdictions objected
to the main purposes of the bill-co- ordination of
planning in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
But despite these concessions, the bill still
remained begged down in the House committee
until too late for House action at the recent
session of Congress. No public explanation of
this inaction has been offered. This is peculiar
way of handling legislation important to the
orderly development of the National Capital and
its environs. 1t is welcome news, therefore, that
Chairman Mcmillan of the House group plans to
call the bill up for further consideration when
Congress reconveneS next month.
If there is continued opposition to the meas
ure, it should be stated openly, so that defenders
of the reorganization proposal can make ap-
propriate answer. 1t is possible that the opposi-
ton has been based on misunderstanding that
could be Strengthened out in a further hearing.
The short session will be occupied with many vital
problems, of course, but Mr. Mcmillan is justified
In making an effort to obtain passage of the bill
before the S1st Congress expires.

A Crime to Be Punished

There is grim and sickening evidence-now
being uncovered in Seoul, Taejon and other places
In liberated South Korea-that the northern Com
munist aggressors are guilty of atrocious crimes
against humanity.
s~~ An Associated Press report from Taejon is
typical Quoting some authorities as saying that
upwards of 5000 persons may have been killed
there by the retreating Reds it declares that the
bodies of 1,100 massacred Korean civilians have
already been discovered, together with the bodies
of 80 American soldiers
This terrible slaughter, according to the re-
port was methodical Each of the victims had
been bound and then shot in the head, with
many apparently dubbed in addition. The Arneri-
can dead had been prisoners of war, and the
Korean civilians appear to have been slain only
because they had been anti-Communist in spirit
or well-to-do relatives of soldiers fighting the
aggressors, or persons otherwise displeasing to
the Reds and hence subject to liquidation
sudden and merciless death, sheer, unadulterated
murder.
Similar reports have come from other parts
of South Korea, and ever since the criminal ag-
greSsion began last June 25, there have been
recurrent stories of Communist atrocities against
prisoners of war. Almost as soon as the United
Nations entered the struggle, General Macarthur
took special pains to warn against all such
brutlShneSS and to proclaim that those reSpon-
sble for it would be held accountable in due
course. The enemy, however, seems not to have
listened, for the mounting evidence indicates a
systematic resort to terror and inhumanity.
If this evidence is as clear and as plentiful
as it appears to be, then the United Nations
should be able to identify the criminals directly
and indirectly involved-the Communist COM
manders who ordered the atrocities and their
policy making superiors. The next task, after
Identification, is to apprehend and punish them.
Certainly, even If the stories coming from
places like Taejon are only half true, they are
still shocking enough to make clear that the
guilty must be brought to book, just as were the
Nazs at Nuremberg.

A Visit to Vienna Is Blow for Freedom
By Edword cronkshnw

MOT ENOUGH people have yet re-
allied that Austria in 1850 can offer
the holiday maker all Its old magic, and
give better value for money than any
other country in Europe.
There is plenty of excuse for not real
izing this. Five years ago in Vienna, 1t
agely bombed during the closing days
OF the war. it seemed impossible that
the city could ever recover. The two
great symbolic buildings. the Opera and
the Burgtheatre, were battered. roofless
hulks. Built in. the days Of imperial
splendor as monuments for the ruling
house, which ransacked an empire TO
adorn them, how was this tiny nation
of commoners to build them up again?
Even the great cathedral. the city's
central point, lay Quilted at the foot of
its untouched spire. All down the long
and elegant Karntnerstrasse hardly
shop remained intact, and bulldozers
hacked a crude passage through the
avalanching rubble. The Russians passed
over the city like tide. The people.
caught up In the ruin of Hitler's econ
omy, starved.
Today. all that is changed. Vienna has
once again, by miracle of reconstruc-
ton based on Marshall aid and blind
refusal to bow to the inevitable. become
a great capital city-greater than it
was between the wars. Because it is now
more than the capital Of the rump Of
a vanished empire Tt Is also the last
proud outpost of the West.
The Hungarian border is only 40 miles
away The Russians still occupy the
eastern provinces of Austria, so that
the city is wholly encircled. But al
though they have their sectors of Vienna
itself. and although they have their
headquarters in tive great hotels on the
Ringstrasse and take turns with the
British, the French and the Americans
patrolling the inner city one month in
four, you are less conscious Of the might
of Russia in Vienna than you are in
Paris or New York. such is the solidar-
ity Of O people determined to ignore 1t.
Just as the people of Naples get on
with their daily lives and plan for the
future in the shadow of Vesuvius so
the Viennese get on with their lives
and plan their own future in the shadow
of Moscow. There is nothing else they

golden in the evening sunlight at your

The Vlennese have stopped signing for
the splendor of the old imperial days
and buckled down to making a success
of what is left to them. People are
still hard up; but few are hungry. The
Ringstrssse is still the most beautiful
street in the world The parks with their
terrace restaurants glitter in the soft
evening air beneath the shining candles
of the chestnuts. The theaters are in
full swing.

finds herself the outpost of the West
against the East. She fulfills her ira
ditional role with remarkable uncon-
cern. But she needs all the moral sup
port she can get. And every foreigner
who goes to Austria today is expressing
a vote of confidence in her will to resist
the fearful pressures from the East.
Visitors help her to know that she is
not abandoned

Bond Issues Are Mortgages

When bond issues are sold by county
like Arlington. Va. full faith and
credit" and the unlimited taxing
power of the county is pladged for pay
ment of the bonds and interest thereon.
The security for the pledge is. funda-
mentally, the real estate and tangible
personal property. Bond issues are public
mortgages which cucumber the property
of all property owners, by decision Of
majority of voters who may or may not
be property owners.
Apartment house dwellers and other
tenants with voting status can, by voting
for lone-term bond issues, publicly mort
gage other peoples homes and other
property for 10, 20 or 80 years. If their
rent is increased too much, they can
move elsewhere, and leave the property
owners with their bag-full of publicly
imposed mortgages. Within an area
like Arlington. there is serious threat
to the security of homes and business
properties by the indiscriminate issue
of long term bonds. This is particularly
true In view of the possibility that de-
Capitalization of Federal Government
agencies may become reality. In that
event, thousands of Arlington residents
would leave the county.
Within six years, if the present public
mortgage plan by more bond issues is
authorized by the voters, property owners
will pe paying property taxes at the rate
of nearly $40 per $100 of assessed valu-
alton. based upon present figures furn-
ished in the plan. If the property owner
can't pay. he may lose his property by

Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1950-07-11

Lou Jacobin's 4th edition or
Guide to Alaska and the Yukon
is off the press, brought up to date
and fuller of facts than ever.
In his foreward the author states
that while the guide, like its prede-
cesSors, features the tourist-sports-
man angle it has not overlooked
the North's present industrial de-
velopment nor its job opportunities.
despite serious handicaps such
as prolonged maritime strikes and
retarded federal aid, Alaska is at
long last coming into its own in
dustriously," says Jacobin. No doubt
the biggest boon in recent years is
the assurance of a great pulp in
dustry for Southeastern Alaska.
Another important factor giving
impetus and stability is the definite
progress made in aviation. The old
standby industries of fishing. min
ing and fur continue, however, as
the backbone of prosperity
The book is chock full of facts
and figures. pictures and ads. 1t
answers nearly every question a
newcomer would ask and is good
source of information for resident
Alaskans.
The picture section is particularly
attractive with several scenic views
in natural color.
An improvement in binding IS
effected by stitching instead OF
stapling the pages together as in
past years. This enables the reader
to open the book wide at any page
and to leave it that way.

thentic handbook of the North is
worth several times over the price
at which it sells.
