REDS UNIMPRESSED

Public utterances in this coun-
try-be they on the floor of the
Senate or House or from the rep
resentatives of civic, church and
scientific OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the settlement of the present prob
lem with Russia by peaceful means
are interpreted by the Orientals
in the Kremlin as definite indica-
tions of fear, despair and cow
ardice.
The Russians feel certain Of
themselves and for that reason
have ceased to have any but the
most formal diplomatic relations
with the United States. They
feel certain that in this election
year neither the administration
nor the opposition, which is try
ing to win control of Congress,
will have the courage to come out
with a program of vast military
expenditure.
No candidate, if he wants to
survive politically, will dare to tell
his electors that we had better
buckle our belts and for the time
being forget all the economic and
social improvements which the
political parties recommend for
the welfare of the country.
None will dare to tell the peo-
pie the sad truth that unless we
start Immediately spending large
sums of money on our military
establishment there will be no
need either for a balanced budget,
social insurance or medical as
sistance. Neither administration
nor opposition candidates will
have the courage to go before
still uninformed American public
and tell them that war is not in
evitable. but that the only way
to avoid war with the modern
Genghis Khan is to show him
that we are preparing rapidly to
meet his challenge, or even to go
further and challenge him II he
continues his present destructive
policies.
There is a historical anecdots
to the effect that King Henry VIII
of England wrote to Francis I OF
France that his interest in pre-
serving peace in Europe was 50
great that he would send his
armies to defeat any one who dis
turbed the peace of the continent.
When we signed the Atlantic
pact and organized the military
aid program we indirectly repeated
the thought, If not the words, of
that English King. But it is half
hearted and Ineffective. inasmuch
as we rely on war-weary and worm
out nations to do the job.
The day that we decide to
strengthen our own forces to the
point where they will inspire the
same respect as they did from 1914
to the end of the war. we will be
able to breathe more easily. The
Russians will seek to discuss dis
with us and they will
desire to live within the frame
work of a vetoless United Nations.
But unless that happens In the
very near future the prospect Of
another devastating war will, loom
larger every day.

OPINION OF FARMERS

Scarcely a day goes by today
but what some statesman
doesn't arise to view with alarm
the arms race now going on,
here and elsewhere. And prob
ably no more effective attack on
the size of defense budgets
could be delivered today than
what Lincoln said in a speech
at EdWardsville, H., September
II. 1858:
What constitutes the bull
wark of our own liberty and
independence? 1t is not our
frowning battlements, our bris-
tling sea coasts, the guns of our
war steamers. the strength of
our gallant and disciplined
Army. These are not our re-
lance against a resumption of
tyranny. Our reliance is in the
love of liberty, which God has
planted in our bosoms. Our de-
tense is in the preservation of
the spirit which prizes liberty as
the heritage of all men, in all
lands everywhere. Destroy this
spirit and you have planted the
seeds of despotism around your
own door. Familiarize yourselves
with the chains of bondage and
you are preparing your own
limbs to wear them. Accus-
toned to trample on the rights
OF those around you, you have
lost the genius of your inde-
pendence and become the fit
subject of the first cunning ty-
rant who rises
The plain and sensible rea-
soning which characterized Lin
coins speeches and writings
was not limited to such general
subjects as human freedom.
liberty, tyranny, peace. He had
a keen political sense, as adroit
as our present-day political
leaders. For instance. in a
speech at Milwaukee, Septem-
ber 80, 1859, he dryly remarked:
my opinion of the farmers as
a class Is that, in proportion to
numbers, they are neither bet
ter nor worse than other people.
I believe. though, there are
more attempts at flattering
them than any other class, the
reason for which cannot per-
ceive, unless it be that they cast
more votes than any other"
Who can dispute this today?
Labor unions today could
find no better battle hymn to
rally supporters than this Lin
colnism. delivered in message
to Congress, December 8, 1861:

Naval Operations for his views frankly

were contrary to those of his civil
ian superiors-there has been a
reluctance on the part of the mill
tary to speak frankly, even in
executive sessions of congressional
committees. Government officials
fear they may be "Denfelded.'
They do not worry so much about
losing their jobs as they do about
being kicked out as unceremo-
niously as the former CNO.
But whenever it is possible to
express privately their concern
about our armed forces lack of
preparedness and about ou1
blurred foreign policy, they do not
hesitate to say that at the present
time we are no match for Soviet
Russia.
Unlike the days preceding Pearl
Harbor, We do not now have
breathing spell in which to pre-
pare ourselves for a showdown.
There are no buffer states be-
tween us and the U. S. S. r. And,
what is far more important, the
Soviet Union is interested today
only in the destruction Of the
United States.
SOVIET HAS ALLIES
Moreover, when the japanese
attacked us they had to keep an
eye on the Chinese mainland where
the Nationalist government under
Chang Kai-shek had survived
japanese attacks since 1881 and
still was a thorn in the side OF
the japanese warlords. Today
China is almost completely under
Kremlin control and no second
front threatens the U. S. S. R. if
it's warlords decide to wage war
on the United States.
To top these disadvantages it
must be added that Moscow today
counts sufficient adherents-or-
ganized militarily and politically
in France and Italy to paralyze
whatever efforts the governments
of those countries may make to
ward off Russian aggression
against the United States. The
number of Communists and Com
munist sympathizers in the world
increases as Americas military
strength appears to fade.
Both American political parties
are economy minded. Both at
tempt to balance the budget by
cutting expenditures. And since
pacif1sm is rampant, particularly
among the intellectual and middle
classes in the United States. the
parties, fighting for majority in
next November's elections, seem
determined to cut our defense
expenditure as much as possible.
The armed services merger in
all likelihood will give us unified
defense force. But at this time
we do not have a military estab-
lishment strong enough to inspire
in the minds of the Kremlin dicta-
tors the respect which would pre-
vent them from committing ag-
gression.
Our minds are not geared to an
understanding of Joseph Stain
and his gang. We still believe
that we can discuss world prob
lens nationally with the Kremlin.
We still believe that we can con-
vince the modern Genghis Khan
that third world war would see
the end of modern civilization.
Stain differs from Genghis Khan
only in that he can employ tanks.
planes and eventually atomic and
hydrogen bombs where his pred
ecessor of centuries ago had only

Like Genghis Khan the Krem-

lin dictators care little about any
kind of civilization, except the
few remaining tenets of the old
Marxist-Leninist doctrines. They
desire ardently not the evolution
of the worlds free enterprise cap
italism but its utter destruction.
And this means the physical de-
struction of everything connected
with that social and economic
philosophy.
COMPROMISE UNRELIABLE
Many American diplomats know
only too we'll that it is useless to
rely on any compromises reached
with Russia around the green
table.
The Kremlin dictators have no
contact with Western ideas. None
of them has been abroad for any
length of time. They are fanat-
ical in their narrowly Russian i'm
perlalistic point of view and there
is nothing that can change them.
since they do not want to have
any contact with the outside
world.
Thus a direct approach by short
wave or by balloons dropping leaf
lets is not feasible. Nor are dis
armament conferences, such as
Senator Tydings recently sug-
gested on the floor of the Senate.
likely to bring desired results.
We have admitted unofficially
that the United Nations is power
less to preserve world peace. This
admission is implicit in the Allan
tic pact, which provides for Q
defensive alliance Of the Western
nations, and in the military aid
program, which provides for the
speedy organization of defensive
force in Western Europe.
Both of these pacts, which soon
will be expanded by addition Of
and Middle East
ern agreements, in fact, make UP
what amounts to another United
Nations minus Russia and her
satellites. The Russians know this
but do not care. So long as we
hang onto shadow of the United
Nations in New York they can
exploit that nominally existent
association of "peace-loving ma
tions" for their purposes. 1t Is .
good and effective sounding board
for the propaganda of the Soviet
Union and its satellites.
So long as the United States.
the only power which is still capa-
BILE of mastering enough force to
stop the Soviet drive for world
domination, seeks diplomatic solu-
tions for present grave problems
there is less than one chance in
a hundred of getting the Kremlin
to understand what we are aim
ing at.

CAMPAIGNS COMPARED

Some British and American po-
litical observers have compared
the current campaign with the
American campaign of 1948 which
the leading dopesters thought was
in the bag for Dewey because they
had miscalculated the farm vote.
Others. with a conservative bias,
have hopefully pointed to the a.
Dor defeats In Australia and New
Zealand as foreshadowing what
will happen in the mother coun-
try.
Although the manifestos of the
Laborites and the Tories appear
similar except for the difference
over continued naturalization, a
Conservative victory would mean
a considerable change in the or
dinary Britishers' manner of liv-
ing. According to American
standards, Britain would still be
socialistic and far to the left OF
this country and Canada. Life
would continue austere.
The shift would be from a La
bor government that emphasizes
the welfare of large masses of low
paid workers to Conservative
leadership that reflects the view
point of management and the
landlord. The contest is over the
support of the middle Income
group in which many of the voters
ask: What is best for me and
my family?"
With the two major parties
agreed on the necessity of retain
ling the broad social service COW
erages, including the formerly
controversial national health in
surance, many voters will be inf1u-
lenced by the personalities and the
promises of the outstanding party
leaders. On the Labor stage, the
principal performers are Prime
Minister Attlee. Foreign Minister
Bevin. Deputy Prime Minister
Herbert Morrison, Health Min
lister Bevan and Economic Min
lister Cripps. a combination of
upper middle "intellectuals" and
labor leaders.
The Conservative leaders are

eral Party vote, over 100000 in
1945.
The most optimistic Liberal
leaders do not expect to win more
than 20 to 80 seats, yet with 400
candidates of their own in the
field, they could take enough pop
ular votes from the Tories to give
substantial victory to the Labor
ties. Churchill has angered the
Liberals by arguing that a Liberal
vote is in effect Socialist vote,
but the Liberals have retorted they
are taking the long view and that
only by entering an almost full
slate of candidates can they hope
to come back as one of the major
parties. The Liberal candidatures
will hurt the Conservatives more
than Labor because they appeal
generally to the upper middle
class educated voters.
The Communists are getting
into the campaign mostly for
prestige purposes. Copies of their
1850 election manifesto, if there
is one. have not reached Washing
ton. a.
For propaganda purposes the
Commies are entering candidates
against most of the Labor minis
ters. AS a practical matter, this
will not have much effect on
elections. Most of these districts
are safe for Labor; the Conserva-
tiveS and Liberals haven't chance
of winning. The Communists may
cut down the Laborite majorities,
but they will remain large.
Reports from Britain and long
distance observations by British
erS here are to the effect that a
million middle-c voters-most
of them women - may decide
whether Attlee or Churchill wins
the election. There is talk here
and in London that something"
may happen between now and
election day that will swing the
majority right" or keep it left"
The something" is not described,
but it is recalled that in 1924 the
Tories cinched the election with
the notorious "Linoview letter."

Labor Party leaders were getting

MANILA, Oct. 25-REThe Ma

has discovered a secret Communist
master plan to overthrow the Phil
ippines government 1t said the Reds
planned an army of 10000 men to
begin the revolution next year.
Discovery of the asserted plan at

35 divisions totalling 10000 men
trained to overthrow the govern

Experts said the plan was well
suited to conditions in the islands.
Military intelligence agents at

STATEHOOD
PREDICTED
BY GORDON

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 25-lR-
Statehood for both Hawaii and
Alaska by Christmas was forecast
yesterday by Sen. Guy Gordon
tR-Ore), member Of the Senate
Interior and Insular Affairs Com
mittee.
He said in an interview that if he
were overly optimistic on that date.
then statehood surely would come
some time during the 82nd Con-
gress."
He said he would press for state
hood for both territories when Con-
gress reconvenes Nov. 81. The bills
could have been passed earlier if
the administration had pressed for
them, he said, adding that Demo-
cratic Leader Lucas of Illinois
failed to help Sen. OMahoney Cd
Wyo) who wanted to get them be-
fore the Senate.
And some Republicans were of
no help either" he said.
Gordon said he long had favored
statehood for Hawaii, and last
month reversed his stand on Alaska.
He said he formerly believed the bill
for Alaskan statehood failed to give
the territory enough natural re-
sources from which it could gain
revenue for state use. But he said
he now thinks that can be worked
out after statehood.
