I SECURITY:
A Denial

"A DenioI
us. State Secretary Dean Ache
son branded as falsehoodS state
ments by Sen. Joseph Mccarthy
that Owen Lattimore-whom Nc
Carthy had called a Soviet agent
was the actual director of Ameri-
can policy in the Far East. An
swering questions at press con-
ference, Acheson added that:
l. baltimore yer was en-
ployed by the state department.
2. He (Acheson) isn't sure he
ever met baltimore.
8. Lattimore's contacts with the
state department have been limit
ed to a few occasions.
4. According to his information,
baltimore never had a desk at the
state department.
baltimore, Far Eastern expert
and professor at John Hopkins
university, had reached London
from Afghanistan, from whence he
was returning to answer Nc
Carthy's charges. In London, Lat
timore branded the Mccarthy
charges as "unmitigated lies"
Mccarthy, meanwhile, was in a
hospital after a four-hour senate
speech in which he said he would
produce witness who would
swear baltimore was a member Of
the Communist party. He told the
senate he had documents to prove
that baltimore was a Soviet agent
who was getting instructions from
Moscow as long ago as 1886.
baltimore was most important
to Mccarthy, for the senator had
declared he would rest his entire
case of Communist leanings in the
state department on the outcome
OF his charges against baltimore.
And, unless the senator could
produce his witness and his docu-
ments, the case boiled down to one
of the senator's word against that
OF Acheson and baltimore, with
the public deciding as it pleased
about who was right.

Wand nberg Missed
IN WASHINGTON

TOR MORE THAN a month there
I has been a vacant desk in the
senate chamber. It is the third seat
from the center aisle in the second
row in the Republican side. And
the absence of its regular occu-
pant, Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg
Of Michigan, due to his extended
Illness, has thrown the country's
bipartisan foreign policy into a
tailspin.
The absence of Senator Vanden-
berg during this critical time has
permitted the isolationists on the
Republican side of the aisle and,
too, some on the Democratic side,
to run wild in partisan attempts to
break down the united front in the
senate of the United States on for
eign policy.
There is little doubt in ones
mind here that Senator Van
denberg was at once the spark
plug and the balance wheel of
our foreign policy and the
various programs enacted to
implement it; there is little
doubt but that the about at
tack by Sen. Joseph Mccarthy
Of Wisconsin against Secretary
Of State Dean Acheson and the
entire state department., would
have ever come to pass had
Senator Vandenberg been in his
senate seat.
For it is this attack, these wild
irresponsible charges of Com
munist infiltration'' by the 80
cent-store Robespierre from Wis
consin" that has done more to
break down faith and respect in the
nations foreign policy and foreign
commitments than if there were
a dozen Commies in the state de-
partment.

DEFENSE:
Charges Hurled

Charges that the government has
been "ragging its feet" in organ
txing civil defense against an A
bomb attack and in telling Ameri-
cans how to protect themselves
have been hurled by four big-city
officials.
MAYOR Elmer E. Robinson Of
San Francisco minced no words in
asserting that federal authorities
have ''fumbled the ball" Of civilian
defense. He urged that a policy Of
total defense be inaugurated imme-
diately by the federal government.
Federal planners have said that
local officials will have to assume
primary responsibility for civilian
defense against atomic warfare,
the governments role being that
Of coordinator.
THAT MUST have seemed an odd
stand to take to officials who have
no knowledge Of atomic bomb eff
fects or Of the first steps to take
toward protection if such bombings
occur. Surely public leaders were
within the bonds Of reason and logic
when they demanded that the gov
eminent channel to them more in
formation on how to provide pro-
lection against atomic warfare
Information which only the federal
government possesses, if anyone or
any group does possess it.
The government attitude seemed
a callous one and hard to reconcile
with all the scare techinques prev
alent in connection with the posi-
bility of another war in which the
A-bomb or the H-bomb would be
the most frightful weapons.

HOGS:
No Props

For the first time within the past
eight years, hogs were being bought
and sold at major US. markets
without any price supports-and
dealers admitted It was difficult to
note any difference.
PRICES were steady to Is cents
higher. What did that mean? Was
It an indication that federal agri-
cultural planners could have been
wrong all these years? If that were
the case, there probably would be
no admission Of it.
In fact, one US. department of
agriculture spokesman hailed the
event as normal market" II
was "just a matter Of supply and
demand" he said, as If the de-
partment had been aware Of and
had considered that venerable law
ever since the government went
into the farming business.
FARMERS and traders, however,
held varying opinions as to what
might happen when the markets
opened for the first time since hog
price supports were allowed to die.
Some felt growers would become
panicky and flood the market with
hogs. But, as was reported, nothing
happened.
Anti-support adherents, never
theless, could draw little consola-
ton from the evident, for farm
leaders had made it clear vigorous
efforts would be made to restore
hog price props.

Mccarthy Raped

If. as Senator Mccarthy declares,
there is Hiss spy ring" in the
state department, it was there when
Gen George Marshall was secre-
tary Of state But General Mar
shan's reputation with the Amer
lean people was and is such that
1t would have been politically dan
gerous for Senator Mccarthy to
attack him through the process he
is now using to smear and innuen-
do against Secretary Acheson. The
conservative Washington Star has
criticized Mccarthy in similar vein.
IF Senator Mccarthy believes
that Mr.. Acheson should be fired,
he has a right to say so But if
Senator Mccarthy wants to be
thought of as a responsible citizen
and officer of this government,
then he most emphatically does not
have right to snipe at Mr.. Ache
son from behind a cover of reckless
and unsupported charges against
the state department.
For when he retcrts to that tech.
nique he Is not making a case
against Mr. .Acheson. Instead he is
blackening the reputation of this
government"

FOREIGN AID:
Some Progress

AS the economic cooperation ad-
ministration started its third year
Of operations, Marshall plan coun-
tries were being urged to take two
steps of paramount importance to
make themselves independent Of
extraordinary outside aid by the
time ECA ends in June Of 1852.
COUNTRIES participating in the
Marshall plan were to be told that
they should intensity efforts to sell
more products to the United States
and other hard-currency areas.
ECA pointed to that as one means
Of closing the dollar gap.
In that connection, the agency
continued, the US. could assist by
following increasingly liberal i'm
port policies and commercial pol
icies generally so that trade bar
riers do not prevent European
countries from increasing dollar
earnings in this country.
cation. EcA stated its belief that
the establishment Of an effective
European payments union is Of
great importance. Elimination of
public and private trade restric-
lions also were said to be . con-
tributing factor to economic unfit
cation.
As a result Of increased produc-
tien and financial and political
sterilization, ECA said, commu-
nism has been placed on the de-
fensive in all participating coun-
tries.

GERMANY:

According to us. German High
Commissioner John J. McCloy,
"real crisis" appears inevitable in

warning in a talk before a con-

CROP BOOST:
A Compromise

In any manner likely to affect
the farm vote-with the congress
sional elections not so many
months away-President Truman
showed an unwonted disposition to
compromise, rather than come out
fighting against anything he didn't
like, as he has done so frequently
in the past.
THE PRESIDENT compromised
on an agricultural bill raising &C.
reage limitations on cotton and
peanuts for 1850 and modifying
price supports for Irish potatoes
next year.
In signing the measure after
long study, the President noted,
according to the presidential press
secretary, Charles G. Ross, that
"the good features outweighed the
undesirable features" And with
that profound utterance, the bill
was signed into law.
The President acted after under
going heavy pressure from groups
urging approval of veto of the
joint resolution.
The section affecting potatoes
knocks out price supports for po-
tatoes in 1851 unless marketing
quotas are then in effect. Addi-
tional legislation would be needed,
however, to put such quotas into
operation in 1851.
THE MEASURE as approved
authorizes an increase of is mil
lion acres in cotton acreage this
year and a so per cent increase in
acreage Of peanuts planted for oil
production. The previous cotton al
lowance was ~ million acres.
1t would permit peanut growers
principally in Texas and Ala
bama 100000 more acres and
would permit excess peanuts to be
grown for oil without penalties on
certain conditions.

JAPAN:
Bible vs.. Marx


Believing that Christianity and
the Bible are the dykes that are
holding up the flood Of communism
In Japan, the American Bible So
ciety is beginning a campaign to
send Bibles to Japan - Bibles
printed in the Japanese language.
Already the society has dis
tributed q total Of 2,789, 1856 Bibles
among the Japanese, but it is felt
and this sentiment is shared by
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, that isn't
enough.
GENERAL MACARTHUR isn't
alone in that opinion. He has asked
for millions more. And DR.. Shire
Murata, an officer Of the Japan
Bible Society, said: 1.-THE eyes of
Japan are fixed on two books. One
is Das Kapital by Karl Marx. The
other is the Holy Bible. Japan is at
the crossroads"
To usher in its program of Bibles
for the Japanese, the American
Bible Society this month is spon-
soring a huge signature book Of
donors for the purpose of raising
funds with which to purchase and
send the Bibles. Every person
who contributes one dollar or more
to the project will be asked to sign
the donor book.
WHEN the campaign comes to
an end, probably this fall, the huge
book, bearing the signature of ev-
cry donor, will be forwarded to
Japan where it will be displayed
in the offices Of the Japan Bible
Society as token of friendship
from the people Of America to the
people Of Japan.
