Stain and His Peace Council

At its current meeting in the Red sector of
Berlin, the so-called World Peace Council-one
OF the Kremlin's numerous stooge organizations
lis faithfully echoing Generalissimo Stains
recent attack on the United Nations. The de-
velopment since it has all the earmarks of being
a carefully planned follow-up on the Russian
dictator's blast, lends substance to the specula-
ton that the Soviet Union may be preparing to
withdraw both itself and its satellites from the
u. N.
At any rate, the Stain attack, as expressed
in his interview" with Pravda, is being repeated
almost verbatim at the Berlin meeting That is
to say, the Peace Council is beating the drums
for a propaganda program denouncing the
United Nations Cd for its shameful decision"
to brand Red China as an aggressor in Korea,
90 for being turned into an instrument of war;
by an aggressive core" of 80 members made
up of the 10 Atlantic Pact powers and the 20
Latin American states, 80 for becoming the tool
of "aggressors" in the United States, and (4) for
thus "burying its moral prestige and booming
itself to disintegration."
All this-particularly since Stain has as
sociated himself directly with it-strongly sug-
gests the possibility that the Red propaganda
machine is being thrown into high gear to lay
the theological groundwork for a permanent
Soviet withdrawal from the U. N. Moreover tine
party line further suggests that If and when
such withdrawal takes place, the Kremlin and
its puppet satellite regimes may try to establish
and promote the peace Council" as the only
real and legitimate world organization, the true
representative of peoples everywhere, the logical
successor to the self-destroyed United Nations
that tool of American "aggressors."
Thus, Communist commentator example, in
the Soviet Army newspaper in Germany-has
been giving voice to the idea that 81 countries
C'practically the whole earthD support the ef-
forts of the "World Peace Council" BY way of
contrast, the 60-member U. N. Is belittled as an
organization that does not represent people
nearly much as it represents, in Stalins words,
"reactionary governments" in favor of the new
war being organized by the ruling circles of
the United States" The Red propagandists, Of
course, are not deferred by the fact that the
council" is a Kremlin agency and that Its cur
rent Berlin meeting is being attended by "dele-
gates" Gncluding one Amercan) who speak for
no free nation but who are merely party mem
bers, fellow wtravelers or colossally stupid dupes
serving the Cominform.
Yet, phony as it is, the World Peace Council"
has been getting such build-np behind the
Iron Curtain that its possible significance ought
not to be discounted. The men of the Kremlin
actually may not be planning to quit the United
Nations but the "council"-coupled with Stains
remarks-gives the impression that they are not
particularly anxious to stay in It need hardly
be added that their departure, though it might
be welcome In some respects would further
deepen the East-West split and intensity the
threat of war.

Mccarthy and Molmedy

The story of Virgil P. Lary's protest.
in The Star Of February IA, regarding the
communication of the sentences OF Nazi
storm troopers who killed his fellow United
States soldiers In the Malmedy massacre,
should not be taken lightly by the people
of this country, especially since Senator
Mccarthy is largely responsible for the
communication of the sentences.
Is the Senator from Wisconsin going

Shodes of trafalgar

Led by Winston Churchil-the redoubtabe
former naval person"-large segments of the
British Parliament, the British press and the
British public have cut loose against Prime Min
lister Attee for agreeing to the appointment of an
American admiral as commander in chief of allied
sea forces under the Atlantic pact Mr.. Attlee-
who has been surprised and grieved by the reac-
tion and who has promised to reconsider the
critics, who include even members of his own
Labor Party. The issue-typical of the difficulties
that have always beset nations in coaltion-is
a delicate one that lends itself to cogent argu-
ments on both sides. AS such it should be viewed
with understanding and friendly restraint here
in our own country and it ought to be settled
II possible, in way that will be satisfactory all
around
Although the situation involves some politick-
ing by Mr.. Churchill and his Conservatives, there
can be no doubt that the main reason for the
attack on Mr.. Attlee is that every Briton worthy
of the name has deep and justifable pride in
the magnificent history-ancient and recent
of His Majesty's Navy. In the circumstances
mindful of that Navy's vast Importance to the
home islands and of the fine fighting qualities of
those who man it. lot of people in Britain
naturally feel disinclined to believe that the
12-nation Atlantic pact organization could not
have found one of their own admirals as well
qualified as ours to be the top commander of the
allied naval forces. This feeling is the more
understandable in view of the fact that Americans
have been chosen to head the pact's ground and
air arms. Any move to reconsider the matter
ought therefore to be received sympathetically

The fresh wind, straight from the
ocean, cooled the infra-red rays from
the sun exactly as the stream of water
does in some varieties Of carbon arc
light
Thus those children, although they
knew it not, received the precise ultra
violet rays, short, rapid, which built up
a healthy coat of tan, now so fashion
able among womenkind, then frowned
upon by that sex.
The dread of timid city folk, quartered
upon the beach for June, July and
August, was the late afternoon thunder
storm which arose suddenly out of the
horizon and descended with swoop to
meet the salt bay to the rear.
The mystery Of those beaches, scarce
a quarter of mile wide. and perhaps
as many as 40 miles long, between the
wide sea on the one side and the narrow
bay on the other!
How were they formed and why were
they not blown away?
The latter was the question uppermost
in the minds of timid city folk as the
super-black thunder clouds rolled up,
split by fearsome forks ofslightning ac-
companied by peals upon peals of
thunder.
When the rain came it fell in
deluge, with a sweeping wind which tore
in from the northeast.
A great bolt, which made all shudder,
struck the chimney Of a small hotel
next door. There was a crash. and
bricks tumbled down. thudding into the

Who is the fool who is going out with

if alive? Why does he not let it alone?
Surely he knows it is dangerous thing
to play with electricity.
Perhaps he is just trying to show off
before the gallery of women and children
on the hotel porch.
After the rain the sun comes out,
more brilliantly than ever, although it
will set suddenly half hour hence
The beach is honeycombed with shall
low pools left by the combination Of
rain and salt water as the waves dashed

General LeMoy's Testimony

Lieutenant General Curtis LeMay is an Air
Force man from beginning to end. As command
ing general of the Strategic Air Command 1t
Is his job to know what we can do with long
range bombers He believes up to the hilt in
strategic bombing, and no one need think that
he lacks confidence in the ability of his command
to do It's job
Nevertheless, his testimony before the Senate
Foreign Relations and Armed Services Com
mittees does not support the position of those
who think we should put all our chips on air
and sea power in event of war with Russia.
General LeMay, of course would put primary
reliance on long-range air power. He believes,
and he is manifestly correct, that we would have
to strike the main blow" against Russia with
strategic air. But he also believes that we should
do what we can to provide a holding force in
Europe and that, in event of an attack on
Europe a ground force would be needed to
compel the Russians to use up the war resources
they would have ready in their forward areas
If General LeMay has any firm opinions as
to the political or constitutional aspects of Sen
ator Wherrys resolution calling for congressional
approval before the President can send any
troops to Europe) they do not emerge from his
testimony. The chances are that he has little
knowledge of either the political or constitutional
issues. He was called as witness at the re-
quest of Senator Wherry, however, and the
Senator therefore is stuck with his testimony
The essentials of that testimony are that while
General LeMay believes that strategic air power
is both the principal deterrent to war and the
main weapon in event of war; he also favors
the sending of additional American troops to
Europe, and an effort to stop the Russians on
the ground if they should attack.

Sword and Bible

In your issue of December II there
was published letter from Cato Jones,
which gave me deep concern. He closed
that letter with the admonition that
Though we be half blind with tears
of anger and grief, we must go on"
This seemed to me to be an abandon
ment of the powerful resources Of both
the intelligence and the spirit, and I
wrote a critical letter which you kindly
published in your issue of December IL.
Again in your issue of December 80
there were critical replies to my letter
from Messrs Harrison Mann and Mum
roe Hill.
I presume that the incident has been
completely forgotten by all except the
parties to the correspondence. and per-
haps by them. But I learned from 1t
the great difficulty of selecting mean
ingful words on a subject which touches
the emotions as deeply as does this
so-cold war, the preparations we are
making to meet It, and the spiritual
adjustments to a chronic state of con-
fiict-a new experience for our country.
therefore set out to express my
earnest convictions more clearly and
have done so in two speeches in the
Senate, one on January II and the
other on February II. The first was
devoted to demanding a more vigor-
GUS prosecution of the conflict on the
material level. The second proposed
terms Of an honest peace.
The proposal is that we stand before
the world with sword in one hand
and Bible in the other. The sword
reinforces the Bible. the Bible the sword.
If any reader is desirous of thinking
further on these serious matters. I will
be glad to send him or her copies Of
the speeches in question, That we
should think and act rightly in this
matter is the greatest responsibility OF
our generation.
