An Interview With Wet Nam Emperor

peror returned again to the SUBJ
iect of Great Britain's place in
Southeast Asia and said: "Viet
Nam expects much from Brit
aims generous policy toward the
young Southeast Asia states-a
policy which the Colombo con-
ference and the economic aid
program Illustrate"
This help. designed to pro-
vide us with the means to con-
tain the advance of commu-
nism, will certainly have valu-
able effects on the internal
situation of our country.
II would like to tell the people
Of the West how close to them
the Wet Namese people are in
their ideal democracy. their re-
spect for human liberty. dignity
and their love of peace. I would
tell them that here are the chief
reasons why we believe we may
expect effective help in making
our independence a thing of
substance. For it is only by
lifting the Communist mort
gage that bur country can take
its place among the free ma
tons"
]. asked Bao Dai what were
his impressions of Ho Chi Mimi
the Emperor was "chief ad-
wiser" to the Ho Chi Mimi ad-
ministration in 1946-as a man
and politician and whether he
believed they could ever work
together again.

II cannot pronounce any
judgment on Mr.. Ho Chi Mimi
because I don't know him well
enough" Bao Dai said. my
post as chief adviser in his gov
ernment was purely honorary.
Besides, you know that if ap-
pearances often deceive, they do
so still more in the case of a
Communist leader. Anyway, it
takes two to cooperate and
there is no known example of a
Communist cooperating Loyalty
with somebody outside his
party"
The Emperor dismissed in
these words the hope increas-
ingly expressed in some quarters
that the United Nations may
intervene" in 'Indo China:
Failing legal grounds, it is OBJ
vious we should not dream of
asking United Nations interven-

The vital economic Importance
OF the nations and peoples to the
south of us is born out by the
very latest facts and statistics.
When the Korean crisis struck us
we needed more bauxite (alumi-
NUM- for the manufacture of
bomberS and fighters. more tin,
copper, wool and dozens of other
products which Latin America
could supply.
Although we insist upon a strict
quota governing the imports of
Cuban sugar into this country, and
had already acquired the allotted
amount for the present year, the
government of President Carlos
Prio Soccaras Immediately made
available 100000 additional tons
from the country's own stockpile.
Bolivia stepped up tin production.
Chile promptly provided more cop

United States Congress had Just
recently voted a burdensome q
cents-a-pound tariff on all foreign
copper imports.
Imports Increase
Today our six largest imports
are. in the order named, coffee,
neWspr1nt, sugar, oil and petrol
cum products, rubber and wool.
Five of these come from the other
nations of this hemisphere and
four of them from the Latin
American republics. More sig
niflcant still, in spite of the vast
sums of dollars we have expended
in Europe and elsewhere, and for
purposes which we have been told
would greatly benefit us econom-
ically, our legitimate trade. both
imports and exports. with the 10
countries of South America has
enjoyed greater increase in the
first eight months of this year
than with any other area Of the
world. .,.
For the month Of August, for
which complete figures have just
been made available, imports from |
these 10 countries amounted to
S219. 800, 900. nearly $50 million
more than in the month of July.
Exports to these same 10 coun-
tries, in spite of the grievous
shortage of dollar exchange in
several of them, not only main
tanned their average monthly
volume but increased from $780,
100000 to $109.100,oO0 in August.
which means that we are selling
10 out of the 20 southern repub-
lies more than ST billion worth |
Of products a year. Exports to
Brazil alone rose from $27 million
in July to $33.7 million in August.
Another important fact is that
these countries are paying up
their commercial debts and other
external obligations to such an
extent that their credit Is now
about the best in the world.

Only A.Bomb Left

According to many military spe-
cialists. this statement contributed
more than many other factors to
the decision of the Muscovites to
give the green light to their Ko-
rean puppets. And while the in
formation about the Capabilities
of the North Korean armies was
pouring into Washington, Presi-
dent Truman indorsed the strin-
gent economy plans of his De-
fense Secretary. Louis johnson,
and further skeletoniZed our
armed forces.
Last week Gen. Omar Bradley,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and the. man who bears
more responsibility in preparing
our forces for victory than any
other person in the country, ad-
mitted frankly that the Korean
war forced us to scrape the bot
tom Of the barrel to the point
that only the atomic bomb was
left for this country's defensive
power.
Why was such q tragic mistake
made? There are all kinds of
alibis. one being that the Ameri-
can economic structure could not
stand the heavy expense called
for in the rearmament program.
The question being asked is how
can our economy stand these
burdens now If it could not do so
year ago?
Top military men who did not
protest openly against the cuts
in our national defense say they
took their cue from the State
Department, which assured the
Chief Executive that there was
no danger of an imminent con-
f1ict. II this Is true, and Mr..
Truman's optimistic statements
only six months ago that peace
was more secure than at any
time since 1916 were based on
State Department officials opin-
ions. those experts are guilty of
a grave mistake in evaluating in
telligenee reports.

Of our foreign policies have been

to be ratified by the Senate, as
the constitution clearly demands.
A number of treaties were sub

had been taken and there was
no way to stop them lest the
American Government lose face
by not honoring commitments ac-
cepted by the Chief Executive.
There were times during the

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to wind the straps of the
Tefillin (phYlacteries) seven times
around the arm? Is. S.. Brook
line. Mass.)
ANSWER: Originally it seems
there was no specified number of
windings. What is originally
mentioned in the codes is the re-
quirement that the straps be
wound around the arm until the
fingers are reached. This would
represent a strain of consistency
from the heart, to the muscle,
down the arm to the fingertips.
Thus would the concept of purity
from heart to hand be stressed in
Jewish life. Joseph Karo in his
commentary on the Tur Codes
seems to be the first to mention
six or seven as the number of
times one winds the straps around
the arm. The six times might
signify the six days of the week
in which man works and puts
on Tefillin. (Tefillin are not used
on the Sabbath). The number
seven is said to represent the
seven nuptial blessings chanted
under the canopy (Birchas Ne
SUM. This would tend to indi-
cate that the observance of the
Commandment of Tefillin is an
act which unites the individual
with the Lord in a sort of matri-
mony of the spirit.
QUESTION: Why are the straps
Of the tefillin wound three times
around the middle finger?
ANSWED: Winding the straps
around the finger is said to be a
representation of the ring of mar

A report of the organizations
activities revealed that 1000 per-

1900 before the end of the year.
In all programs in all countries
there are total of 22,813 students

riage which the groom places on
the finger of the bride. In using
the tefillin one spiritually WEEDS
his creator and Cd. The reason
for the three windings is said to
be the three-fold expression men
toned in the Psalms (Ch. 145 v.
16) i. e.: II will betroth you to
myself in faithfulness; and you
shall know the Lord"

QUESTION: What is the deri-
walton of the term "phYlacterY?"
ANSWER: The term is said
to stem from a Greek word
''phylasso" meaning to defend, "
to guard" or to watch" This
term must have been applied by
the Hellenists who believed that
the tefillin worn by the Jews
were some sort of ''amulets' -
which would guard against evil. "
This term lis not of Jewish origin
and is not used in a Jewish con-
text at all, since this is by no
means the purpose of the tefillin.
