Lowell MeHett::

On an afternoon good many
years ago I watched a curious
incident in Atlanta, Ga. A
crowd had gathered about the
front steps of the State house
in a demonstration against the
Governor. The Governor that
day had committed to life i'm
prisonment the sentence Of a
man scheduled to be hanged.
The crowd demanded the mans
blood; some suggested the Gov
ernor's as well. All demanded
that the Governor come out
and face his critics.
When the Governor failed to
oblige, the meeting developed
into a debate or retrial OF
the case. Various Of the dem
constructors mounted the steps
and harangued the others on
the evidence which convinced
them Of the mans guilt. Two
Of the speakers, being natural
curbstone lawyers. did most OF
the talking.
After a time the crowd grew
restless and began to melt
away. Observing this, one OF
the born takers leapt to the
front and cried, What we need
is leaders," When the crowd
seemed to accept this as a SEN
sible proposition he put the
question.
"All in favor Of me and my
friend here bein' leaders. raise
their hands"
Some hands being raised, he
shouted, Come on! Follow
us!" and. jointly with his friend,
led a part of the mob down the
street, where it soon disinte-
grated and disappeared.
Something about the present
Great Debate over our for

British Endongering u. S. Troops in Korea
By Handing Military Information to Chinese

moreover. that the United
States has been pursuing its
own way arbitrarily and with
out taking into account the
military views Of It's allies.
This is not true. Actually the
United States has been giving
the military representatives of
Great Britain and other coun-
tries whose troops are in Ko-
rea a rather detailed account
twice a week of what is going
on and what is planned.
There isn't the slightest ex-
cuse. therefore, for the atti-
tude Of certain segments Of the
British press which. in endeav-
oring to find a scapegoat. have
repeatedly criticized Gen. Mac
Arthur as Indifferent to the
wishes of the British govern
ment. It would have been more
fortnight to have criticized the
United States Joint Chiefs OF
Staff, who have been "briefing"
the U. N. representatives here
and listening to their sugges-
tons. but that might have re-
acted against the Laborites in
London.
The belief grows here that
the Korean situation has be-
come more and more of a politi-
cal problem. as pressure is
exerted against Prime Minister
Attlee from the cleft wingers"
