Grim Military Figures.
So it was with Kaiser Wilhelm
and the grim military figures who
stood about him in those old pho
tographs and eventually loosed
their goose-stepping minions on
France; with the madman Adolf
Hitler who stood screeching, a
tintype fanatic, before rapt
throngs and sent his Nazi hordes
across Europe in time; with the
poker-faced Jap warlords who di-
rected their armies about a great
orbit in the Pacific; with the thea
trio Mussolini bawling from his

now, with the dour Joe Stain and
his somber crowd, who plot their

the map, like gnomes of evil in a

mental processes would be funny

CRY tin soldiers. it has had, at the
same time, some of history's great
idealists-Woodrow Wilson, Lord
Cecil, Aristide BRAND. Jan Smuts
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
From that idealism came the
League of Nations which lost its
influence when no world leader
rose up to arouse 1t to check the
japanese invasion of Manchuria
and Mussolini's conquest OF
Ethiopia.
But we tried again. after the
dictators once more staged their
bloody tragedy in World War II,

Now, finally, with the sneak
attack by the Communists from
North Korea, a leader, our own,
has dared to stand up and say

United Nations that, until now,
had been weak and wobbly, too.
Bold, Courageous Step.
It's one of the great CANDLES of
history which Harry Truman is
taking. a bold. courageous step.
It's outcome may determine
whether We are to emerge from
the jungle and live by law, here
at the halfway mark of this CEN
tury, or whether we are to be led,
like sheep, to the slaughter of our
civilization.
In contrast to that picture of
the grim mannikins of the Russian
dictator let us look at the picture
of an event here, a man in civilian
clothes, surrounded by no soldiers,
standing before a crowd and dedi-
eating a new courthouse here in
Washington.
Harry Truman talked simply
about our history and traditions
and told how we had established
our courts and our system of JUS
tice, showing how the U.N. is an
instrument of the same kind for
the whole world. At the White
House only a few hours before he
had announced his plans for the
defense of Southern Korea under
the auspices of the United Nations
which he is trying to save.
In our lifetime. he said, we have
witnessed a worldwide attack on
this ideal of justice" by fascism.
naziism and Soviet communism
and he told how all those had cor
rupted justice, and spoke of 1.-The
compatibility, of power" Here,
in the simple ceremony, he re-
dedicated us to our ideal of justice
and explained how. gradually,
through the United Nations, "the
concept is developing that the bar
barous treatment of individuals
by any nation is the concern of all
nations"
That is Harry Truman's creed
for his great gamble.
He has taken his Standard so

world in the last "a hours showed
deep concern in all the countries
outside the Iron Curtain over the
effects of RuSsia's aggression in
Korea.
The orders of the Security
Council issued through the repre-
Sentatives of the United Nations
in Korea had been ignored by the
North Koreans.
It was obvious to every one that
economic sanctions were useless
North Korea had no contacts with
the free world. Only the use OF
power could possibly stop them
and at the same time give the
Russians some food for thought
It is difficult to estimate at this
time what effect the orders OF
President Truman to save Korea
and Formosa will have on the men
In the Kremlin. We have taken a
calculated risk and are willing to
meet any emergency.
Retaliation Doubted.
1t is doubtful that the Russians
will be able to retaliate at this
time. According to the most accu-
rate available information on the
Soviet army's order of battle In the
Far East, it appears that the Rus
slams do not have more than 200.-
900 men in Eastern Siberia. This
force is supported by an air force
estimated at between 800 and 400
planes. Less than 100 are jets and
modern heavy bombers. The rest
are of World War II type. 1t ap-
pears from reports current in
Washington that Gen. Macarthur
has assured his superiors in Wash
ington that under present cir
cumstances he could cope. with
the situation regardless of what
the Russian reaction to our strong
stand may be.
OF course. there is always the
possibility that the Russians may
retaliate by striking at other
points where American assistance
is not Immediately available. The
strong notes exchanged between
the Iranian and Soviet govern
ments in the last few days give
the impression to officials in
Washington that Iran may be next
on MoScow's list.
The answer of the Kremlin to
the first strong stand adopted by
the American Government ir
many years is expected soon. II

1t will be either an order to North
Korean troops to withdraw north

at once with a request to Secre-
tary Acheson to describe the stu
alton as it then existed.
Mr.. Acheson. the trained advo-
cate, crisply and plainly set forth
the story about as all Americans
could construct it from their news
papers and radio. When he con-
cluded the President reminded
him that he had left out one
phase of importance. and the
Secretary included it.
Completely in Character.
Still poker-faced, the President
drew from his pocket his state
ment and began reading 1t amid
a deepening silence. One partici-
pant said later that the spare,
plain Truman prose struck him as
completely in character. He called
attention to the complete absence
Of purple passages or emotional
content. With some feeling he
said it was good. plain American
talk from a good. plain American
and that was historical enough
for him. He grinned as he added
that he didn't notice until later
that four paragraphs out of seven
began with "I' and a fifth began
Accordingly l."
The President made no further
comment after concluding the
statement. The pause was broken
by Chairman Tydings of Senate
Armed Services who said that the
President would be glad to hear
that the draft conferees had de-
cided not to recommend q new
draft bill but were sending to the
floor instead a one-year extension
of the present act. It will enable

him with, his first smile and said

There is confidence here today
in both administration and Con-
gress that the Presidents strong
stand will mean a Russian re-

no war. There is also a release
of tension. Washington is weary

Moreover, Mr.. Truman ordered

Took Calculated Risk.
President Truman thus needed
the advice of his military advisers
and members of Congress who
have been urging him to take a
calculated risk for the sake OF
United States security and to
save the United Nations from a
fate worse than that of the old
League of Nations.
On Monday, one of the. lead
ing Republican Senators, Styles
Bridges of New Hampshire, urged
the administration to take a cal
culated risk and thus stop any
further Russian aggression. 1t
was suggested from the floor OF
the Senate that even if it were
too late to save Korea, we should
serve notice on Moscow in no un-
certain terms that any further
encroachment on the freedom OF
other nations would be resisted
with all the means in our power

Truman, more than advice of his

to be the most beautiful descrip-

Nothing is ever perfect. Ger

There is almost always grain

people and some situations which
are almost unendurable, which no

Methods Of Making Good Coffee

There is nothing mystical or oc-
cult in the art of making good
coffee. The main thing is first to
choose good coffee. Then have
it ground for your particular type
of coffee maker and keep the
maker meticulously clean.
Measure both the coffee and
water accurately, and watch your
timing, as there Is a definite re-
lationship between brewing time
and water temperature for the
various methods used.
Never let coffee boil. You may
bring it to the boil and then
lower the flame, as boiling drives
off aroma and flavor. Serve 1t
promptly after it is made, and
Evening star., 1950-07-25

never let it stand in a metal pot.
If you wish to use leftover coffee.
pour it into a glass container and
cover it until needed.
When you buy coffee tell the
clerk what kind of a coffee maker
you use, and have it ground to
suit. This is very important. To
produce coffee that is rich in
flavor and strength a good average
rule is two level teaspoons of cof-
fee for each 6-ounce cup of water.
This is standard for both "regu-
lar grind" and drip and glass
maker grind"
Now let's look at the methods.
The bring to q boil" method may
be used with an old-fashioned
