South - and the question natu-
rally arises as to why he doesn' I
make his State an acceptable Sen
ator. The answer appears to be
that he is not enough of a poll
tician. What he can do for his
State. his region or his country
he cannot do Tor himself. He has
demonstrated a genius for ad-
justing differences where "they
exist without hate" a genius even
for eliminating hate at times, but
where the hate is turned on him
self he appears to be helpless
incapable of returning it effec-
lively, even unwilling to do so.
All Pretense Dropped.
It was a hate campaign that
defeated him, a campaign that
could not be met by turning the
other cheek. The forces seeking
his Senate seat for their own uses
succeeded in making DR.. Graham
a personal devil on the race issue.
In the first primary much of the
emphasis was placed on his al
legged radicalism and communist
ic Sympathies, but he came
through with a vote almost equal
to the combined vote of his OPP
ponents. Therefore in the run
of primary all pretense Of de-
cency and fair-play was dropped
and the race question was pressed
in a manner not seen in North
Carolina in a half century.
DR.. Graham could not be per-
Suaded to drop to the same dema-
gogic level. although all the neces-
sary materials were ready to his
hand. He couldn't, or didn't, re-
veal to the people of the State
the real basis Of the battle against
himself. which had little or moth
ing to do with the race issue, but
which had to do with how he as
a Senator voted or would vote on
such things as taxes, labor legis-
lation. education. health and So
cial security. He couldn't, or
didn't. make clear that the fight
against him is the same fight
that is being made this year
against every liberal in Congress.
whether from the North or the
South, and that. so far as he was
concerned, the race issue had been
raised merely because he could
not be beaten on the real issues.
He couldn't, or didn't. make the
issue one of North Carolina
against the outside influences that
having done a job in Florida, had
moved for a time into North
Carolina on their way North and
West, bringing their money and
propaganda organization with
them.
The eminently respectable law

done. but who endeavored to dis

Question of Peace or War Seen Ringing

marine threat. No other type of
Soviet naval craft can challenge
the power Of the 7th Fleet.
1t is true that Gen. Macarthur
has only four combat divisions in
Japan-and they are not full
strength. But it appears highly
improbable that we shall need a
large ground force in that area
at this time. Moreover. there is
always the possibility of drawing
on the well-trained but poorly
equipped Chinese troops, which at
present are in Formosa, by giving
them American weapons which
they know how to use.
100000 on Formosa.
There are more than 400, 900
combat troops on Formosa. The
presence Of 7th Fleet units in
FormoSan waters makes any Com
munist amphibious operation i'm
possible. Hence. in case of need,
a large proportion of the National
lists soldiers could be put into
action.
Chang Kai-shek is said to have
informed Gen. Macarthur that
he is willing to place everything
he has at our disposal in a war
against the Communists.
There is little that we can do
at this time if Russia decides to
take over Iran. This would be a
serious blow to the Western ma
tions because of the vast quanti-
ties of oil available in that coun-
try.
Insofar as Europe is concerned
there Is little fear that the Red
armies will be launched in that
area. It is true that the Western
bloc does not yet have the military
power to resist a Russian on
slaught.
The 40 Red divisions at present
available in Eastern Germany and
Poland represent numerically a
far larger force than the COM
bined strength of the Western
European and American units in
that area. There is. however, q
remedy for such an emergency.
If cut eff from their basis in the
u. s. S. r. these forces will not be
able to hold their own for any
length of time.
American aircraft could lay a
radioactive curtain between the
Soviet borders and the rest of
Europe. According to available
information. no human being for
many months could cross the re-
gion plaStered with bombs con-
tanning this radioactive substance.
There is no question of using
the atomic bomb in such an emer-
gency. but only its radioactive by
products which are contained in
shells or bombs. Thus, the Allied
military position in Western
Europe. which on paper appears
far inferior to that, of the Reds,
does not worry the military ex-
perts as much as is generally
believed.

lngton.
On that reaction hinges tht
question of peace or war in the
world.
When President Truman Tues
day ordered American forces tc
intervene in Korea in order tc
end the continuous Communist
aggressions, he and his advisers
were fully aware of the risks in
volved.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff had
provided him with a complete
presentation of the risks we were
taking and our potential to meet
the consequences in case Russia
decides to follow in the footsteps
of Hitler's Germany and start
another world war.
Able to Accept Challenge.
1t appears that, in spite of the
fact that our ground and air
forces numerically are far in
ferior to those of the U. S. s. r..
we have at the present moment
the capability of accepting the
Kremlin challenge.
In short, the military picture
appears as follows:
In the Pacific Gen. Macarthur
has assured the President that
we are fully prepared to meet
any emergency. The Russian
military establishment in ST.
IBERIA is nowhere near as great
as was generally believed.

Firm Hand on Economy
Symington Drafting Mobilization Plan
But Congress Is Not Ready for 1t

new Congress early in the session
That timetable is now outmoded
Emphasizing that no bill Ii
ready, the Chairman promises
that he will draft one as soon as
possible. The pressure on him will
mount according to the serious
ness Of the situation.
Influential Senators whose sup
port is imperative for any mobili-
zation plan to succeed say plainly
that things must get very much
worse for us before Congress will
grasp that nettle. A few cynical
ones think it never will since il
never has.
Keyed to Old Theme.
Mobilization plans are keyed to
the old theme Of taking the prof.
its out Of war. Theoretically every
body is for it: when B. M. Baruch
says 1t is immoral to draft boys
and not dollars, people cheer. But
this democracy or at least its poll
tictans have never been able to
bring themselves to do 1t.
Mr.. Symington's achievements
in building a powerful air force
are fresh in memory. He is as con-
scious now as then of Russian
might and what total war will
mean to America. On his desk is
a graphic Illustration Of how
much more, devastating the
hydrogen bomb is than the i'm
proved A-bomb and no caller es-
capes without a briefing on it.
An industrialist who got rich
but also got along with labor, the
Symington conscience is clear.
Since he took over three months
ago he has had many conferences
with labor and industrial groups
and he lets them both have the
bad news impartially about how
war will affect them.
1t Is not easy, however. to de-
eide how best to put a firm hand
on the complicated American
economy. There are many inter-
ests to be satisfied-the President,
the Congress, business, labor, the
military. When so much is in
volved, protecting the best inter-
ests Of all the American people is q
hard job.
