ca is really strong. successful in
the field and modified at home
to face the worst, that peace offer,
in experienced opinion, becomes
must. It is. Of course. impossible
until the mobilization ramparts
have been built high and strong.
It can be convincing only against
a background of United States
world aims, clearly stated and well
known at home and abroad.
President Truman has tacitly
recognized the danger of the war
issue being turned against us by
Russia in his efforts to keep Korea

The Russians have returned to
the United Nations in a stubborn
effort to water down U.N. Spon-
sorship for the Korean struggle
and to exploit Americas military
preparations. Dispatches from
Lake Success report that while we
are winning procedural victories
they are making propaganda
progress.
It Is hard to win such battles.
The unpreparedness that put us
behind in Korea proves this coun-
try was not thirsting and plan
ming for war; to emphasize that
fact for Asia, which fears our
strength more than our weakness,
might be helpful. 1t would further
scare Western Europe. which has
shown unmistakable signs Of fear

acres Of fairyland. No botanic
gardens have any more beautiful
landscaping. Lakes, ponds, and
pools reflect innumerable willow
trees, and nnyriads Of varicolored
flowers.
A new and lovely vista springs
up with almost every turn of the
winding, hedge-bordered paths. A
fountain playing against a back
drop of a stage where a panto-
mime show is going on. A water
fall tumbling into a pond where
swans drift about. Graceful
statues peer out from the dense
shrubbery.
Tivoli is an amazing combina-
ton of high-brow and loW-brow.
One of the chief attractions is a
glass s-incloSed, sound-proof con-
cert hall where the finest orcheS-
tras and artists perform nightly
during the summer. A stones
throw away from the hall-where
many of the audience are in eve
ming clothes - acrobats, clowns,
jugglers, and trick bicycle riders
go through their acts on an out
door stage.
Rides CamOufiaged.
Most of the rides are so camou-
haged as to blend into the scenery
and not mar it. The roller coaster,
for example. is no bare frame
work of steel girders, but is COW
cred with papier- painted to
represent an Alpine climb, and the
ferris wheel baskets are Of wicker

huge balloons which are attached

tions Of the moment, to yield our
basic civil and political liberties in
the emotional heat over our world
wide contest with Soviet Russia.
These liberties are, in the last
analysis, not only what makes us
a great Nation, but they represent
the fundamental and all-im-
portant difference between us and
totalitarianism of the Left and
Right.
They are, in real truth, our
buckler and our shield.
Significance Of Message.
This is the meaning and signif-
canoe Of the Presidents message
to Congress in which he warned
against certain legislative pro-
posals which, though understand
able in the fervid antipathy to
Communism, are so broadly and
vaguely drafted that they might
infringe our freedoms Of speech,
press, assemblage and political ac-
tivity. At the same time he asked
for strengthening Of our existing
laws covering espionage. sabotage
and other activities Of subversion
carried on by Communist agents.
Court experience has revealed GER
tain deficiencies in these.
The President spoke out to meet
a psychological situation apparent
in our country and reflected in
Congress. The disturbance among
our people over the Korean Com
muniSt open aggression, which has
led to all sorts Of questions about
our military preparedness, has set
Congress to scurrying around to
f1x up our defenses and to provide
for controls for the civilian econ
omy which a big military ex-
penditure program requires. This
has created a sort of f1t of self
absolution which it is clear must
be restrained somewhat If it is to
be sensible and effective.
Similarly, the Korean aggression
has intensified the alarm over
Communists in our midst, and
naturally since it reveals a fla

This involvement of American

thousand miles from any base or

Russian control Of the continent.
Near Heart of Red Asia.
Korea is on the southern border
of Manchuria, the industrial and
agricultural center and very
heart-of Communist Asia. Its
northeast corner is only a little
more than 100 land miles from the
vital Siberian port of VladivoStok.
And in the northwest it is about
the same distance by land from
the key ports of Dairen and Port
Arthur.
Capture or naturalization Of
these vital areas would deprive
Russia Of all her ice-free ports in
the north. Submarines and other
Soviet vessels in the Pacific would
have to depend on Chinese ports
far to the south during the winter,
which in turn would have to be
supplied over long and often ex-
posed routes across the continent.
The loss of Manchuria either
to invading troops or to effective
bombing would also remove Rus
sia's principal arsenal in Asia,
hampering not only the Russian
armies on the continent but those

Rail Bonds Stumble
Over Profit-Takinq
After 9-Day Rally
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 29.-Railroad
bonds stretched their price re-
covery out to nine straight sessions
this week and then stumbled over
profit-taking sales.
Demand as urgent as that which
persisted all through the previous
week kept rail prices on the rise
through the first four days. Then
the market turned on it's heels
and moved lower Friday.
The Friday let-down had no ef-'
feet on the index picture, how,
ever. The Associated Press aver
age of 20 rails gained IL points
during the week, closing at 95.6.
high mark not duplicated since
last May 2.
The buying that kept the rous-
ing nine-day rally in motion was
by investors trying to improve
their tax status under the stress
OF semiwar economy.
They reasoned first that in
terest on rail debts comes before
taxes; secondly that in the event
of a future excess profits tax, the
railroads probably would have a
higher exemption base than most
industries. That, coupled with
the certainty of improved rail
earnings as the result of war
preparation, made for aggressive
demand.
The war scare sent bond prices
sharply lower during the first
three weeks of the Korean cam
paign. Then prices started rising.
Those who bought rail bonds at
the depths of the decline found
they were able to sell many low
and medium priced rails this
week at profits of from S to more
than 10 points. That started the
profit selling Friday.
Turnover for the five sessions
amounted to $50, 3,707,5 500, par val
ue, highest since $37.043,00 was
exchanged in the week ended jan
uary IA.
Industrial and utility bonds
moved steadily during the week.
Foreign dollar bonds weakened
because of adverse war news and
the A. P. average dropped full
point at TOO.
Partially tax exempt United
States Treasury bonds advanced
rapidly. but the quotations were
nominal since these bonds are
scarce and there were virtually
no offerings in sight. Other
United States bonds were steady.
A revival of corporate financing
is on the books for next week
after a month of almost total in
activity. Nearly $110 million in
debt issues are scheduled for sale
by competitive bidding.
Columbia Gas System alone
will market $50 million of de-.
bentures on Tuesday to obtain
funds for the redemption of $84
million Of outstanding issues and

JOHNSON SAYS
DEPT. HOLDING UP
JAP CEMENT ORDER

WASHINGTON, May 4-lR-The
Defense Department assured three
Washington members of Congress
today it will hold up plans to use
japanese cement in Alaska.
Senator Magnuson and Reps.
Jackson and Mitchell asked Defense
Secretary Johnson not to permit
shipment of cement from Japan
until the situation has been re-
viewed. They said Johnson prom
ised to hold up the shipment and
submit the question to the depart
ment's advisory board next week.
Magnuson told a reporter the
Defense Department had author
lied the Army to ship small
amount of Japanese cement to AL
aska for use by the Army Engi-
neers. He said it was considering
calling for bids for 100000 or more
barrels of cement from Japanese,
