Senator KnoWIand Makes
Proposal Calls for Unity

(By Oliver w. Dewolf

Senator Knowland (R-Calif) pro-
posed today six-to-one ratio
for arming western Europe against
Communist aggression with the I'm

10 divisions and the other North

Knowland said it was vital that
western Europe not be allowed
To fall into Communist hands, but
he held that the bulk of the de-
fensive land forces should be furn-
ished by the Europeans themselves.
sIf war comes he said, I'VE must
then do with our air, sea and land
forces what the strategic neces-
sites require in support of our
commitments. We will not let our
allies down nor must they jet US
down."
In a speech prepared for Senate
delivery Knowland pleaded Tor un1ty

The free nations of the world, say
ing history has taught us we must
hang together or be hanged separ-
ately."
Knowland, a vigorous critic OF
administration Far Eastern pollcy,
strongly urged a reconciliation OF
differences between Congress mem
oers and the administration on all
foreign issues.
The California lawmaker took
a stand with New York's Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, and John Foster
Dulles, adviser to Secretary OF
State Acheson, in opposition to a
foreign policy announcement by
former President Herbert Hoover.
All three are Republicans.

The Agreement

The agreement covers water rights
in the Tahtsa -Kemano watersheds
of Tweedsmuir Park, where the
company proposes to develop a
500 000-h.p. power plant Oh the
Memano River as the first stage OF
1900, 000-h.p. development.
Construction of the power plant
would follow building OF a dam IN
the Grand Canyon Of the Nechako
River. about 100 miles from the
coast. This would back up the
waters in the Tahtsa-Kemano wat

from the Kitimat, the tiny Indian
village at tidewa.sr which in a few
years may become an aluminium

population.

The other reporter present, Mr..
Carl Lawrence of the Amsterdam
News came out with banner head
lines screaming that Governor de
Castro has failed. l did not tell
Carl Lawrence or anybody else
that Governor de Castro was or is
a failure. All of the members of
the Committee were present. Ask
EOttley who is right here in our
midst. Ask Alphonso Holder the
Secretary of the Committee. / am
surprised that the other members
of the Committee did not make
some effort to deny these things.
In st. Croix l am sure that three
members there will tell anyone
that none of us made any state
ments against the Governor.
This report by Carl Lawrence
we consider as somewhat removed
from us since it was written by
someone who is not familiar with
local conditions and Mr.. Law
renee told me on Sunday, August
18th, prior to my speaking at Re-
Nuisance Hall, when I asked him
about the report, he said you MI.
Brown did not say SO but by talk
ing to several persons and getting
their general feelings / arrived at
that conclusion. Again l ask do
you want to make me the scape-
goat for something of which I am
not a part! I read in New York
several editorials by the Daily
News in which it was claimed that
demonstrations were held in Har-
lem seeking the removal of Gov
ernor de Castro and the inference
was that Totten, Bough and I
were interested in getting rid of
Governor de Castro so that we
might get Bough to be governor
and the reason why we wanted to
to come in here and establish and
we felt Bough would be the man
to put through our scheme. What
a bunch of trash! Whose pipe
dream was it Mr.. Editor? Which
of your friends sold YOU this dime

where you got this loco scheme.

your friend Mr.. Harris will not
agree with you on that. It will

II Mr.. Editor you find it so diff
t1cult to agree with me that we
are In financial straits, how is it
that you always agree with the
that in order to pay our
bills we must drop people from
the payroll. I would like you to
tell the people of this municipality
whether or not you now agree
with the Administration that we
can be made self-supporting, and
how do you propose to do it. l

When the New York Times re-
porter Roth said that he could get
a story in his paper about our poor
financial condition, / told him, you
have hit the nail on the head. and
l told him a few years ago when
we were faced with the dilemma
OF finding money to run the insti-
tutions and pay salaries, Mr..
Hodge, who was present, and Mr..
Gordon and myself, while in eau
Gus with the Legislative Assem-
bly,, suggested to the members
that we tell the Governor to let

seem to think we can run these
islands like we are a bunch of
goats on a key, to tell them we
suggest that we try closing the
jails, the insane asylum, and a few
more institutions, then may be
we would save some money.
I did not say that we are going
to close these institutions, l told
the reporters we had suggested
this at one time-three years ago.
Can ! help if the reporter found
it profitable to frame his story so
that it read more dramatically.
Why should I get wrinkles over
whether or not the governor and
the editor of the Daily News think
I am speaking emotionally. I wish
to inform both Of these gentlemen
that when I speak in my official
capacity the only people to CEN

RADIO ADDRESS
by the
Hon. Omur Brown
St. Thomas Municipal Council
Continued from yesterday

Now, my friends, what did we
go to the United States to do. Did
we not 60 there to let people know
how bad the conditions are here
in the islands and to enlist the sup
port of the various groups UP
there to help us to fight to remedy
the terrible conditions existing
here? Is it not true that the price
OF foodStuff is in some instances
beyond the reach of the majority
OF our people who are in the lower
earning bracket? Is it not true
that the Governor proposed to the
legislature a year ago that we
drop about seventy persons from
the budget because, as he said, we
would not afford to carry the load
the revenues were not there
with which to pay their salaries.
Is it not true that the legislature
did not agree with the governor
and we passed the budget for 1850
81 in July 1850 continuing every
person on the budget. Do you re-
call that the governor dropped
about forty of those persons? My
question now is directed to the
editor of the Daily News. Would
you say, Mr.. Editor that those ac-
tons were taken because condi-
lions were good. Because the is
lands treasury was bullying and
there was private industry hum
ming to reemploy those persons?
Or is it true that we are running
on a shoestring-not knowing
sometimes how we are going to
meet our most necessary obliga-
tons?
/ recall that the Daily News has
consistently agreed with the adj
ministration that the islands
should be made self-supporting.
Does that mean, Mr.. Editor, that
you favor higher taxes than we
now have? Dc you mean by that
that you want the Council to in
crease the "a of III trade tax?
The 1A% real property tax? The
nightsoil removal fees? Do you
want us to charge the exorbitant
hospital fees to our poor people
who can't buy food? I am sure

PARIS, July 5.--The British
diplomatic defeat in Iran and the
disappearance of the two foreign
Office officials, Donald MacLean
and Guy Burgess. have led to a
grave decline of confidence here
in command circles of the west
ern government machine.
Leading German newspapers
write plainly of their fears of a
fifth column" in western ma
chinery-a good reason why West
German nnanpower should walk
warily in contribution to Atlantic
defenses.
The Frankfurter Neue Presse
calls for intensified security and
control measures without, how
ever, permitting the atmosphere
of a police state to prevail"
Public Humiliation Cited.
British Foreign Minister Her
bert Morrison, the government
and both Socialist and Liberal
supporters are still loath to admit
that the missing diplomats must
have gone to Russia. In the case
of Iran, the government dithered
until the last minute and then
put on a miniature display of
naval strength, which appeared
from here to be a custom tailored
pro-Communist job.
British public opinion is not
oblivious to their loss of prestige
by their retreat from a $780,
100000 investment in Iran. The
London Daily Mail says: Since
the British have accepted one
humiliation after another, they
have become used to the idea"
The British press simplified the
issue in the public mind to the
point where the only arguments
were for a "get-tough policy
with Iran or "scuttle and rum"

dation to Britain to try to make

Under Morrison, the British for

national reputation.
American diplomatic stature -
which formerly suffered from an

Republicans were going to sin
vestigate" Mrs. Rosenberg. She
was a friend of Eleanor Roose-
welt, Lewis said. He urged that
among questions to be asked of
Mrs. Rosenberg is another, point,
why some years ago she joined
the John Reed Clubs (Commun-
ist) around New York City,.
Thus Lewis anticipated the case
against Mrs. Rosenberg.
After Ralph De Sofa, a New
York ex-Communist, circulated
charges against Mrs. Rosenberg,
Lewis sent an assistant, Edward
K. Nellor, to New York to contact
De Sofa. Nellor is a former re-
porter on the Washington Times
Herald and the New York Sun.
He was accompanied by Don
Surine, an investigator employed
by Sen. Joseph r. Mccarthy, R
Wis.
Lewis representative and Nc
Carthy's representative took with
them letter of introduction from
Gerald L. K. Smith, according to
testimony. The letter repeatedly
said that ''Mr. Lewis and Mr.. Nell
lor should be treated very kindly.
You should give them any infor-
nation that will help them, be-
cause Mr.. Lewis is doing a mag
nificent job in the Rosenberg
matter. Smith, of course, is
head of the violently anti-Semit-
ic Christian Nationalist Crusade.
The letter was addressed to Ben
jamin H. Freedman, an anti-Sem-
itic agitator who is himself of
Jewish origin and who was in
volved in the case.
When the evidence" was pre-
sented before the Senate Armed
Forces Committee Lewis boosted
over the radio about the informa-
ton his employee, Nellor, had
helped get. He mentioned an af-
fidavit against Mrs. Rosenberg,
obtained by his employee, and
repeated the charges against her.
He said it was Every reminiscent"

of the Hiss case.

of the Hiss case.
The evidence backfired and
Lewis quickly turned against the
witnesses, De Sofa and Freedman,
in an attempt to save his own
face. He also called Gerald L. K.
Smith a bad name over the air.
Smith replied in a letter circulat-
ed to his followers which said:
"Here are the facts: / went to
Washington with my staff and we
organized a working committee
of about eleven people who par
ticipated in the campaign to pre-
vent Anna M. Rosenberg from
being given full charge over the
manpower of America. We en-
joyed full cooperation with Full
ton Lewis in this matter. His
right-hand man, Mr.. Nellor, came
to my hotel and conferred at
length with my private secretary
Not only that, but the subject
matter which we dug up was used
by Mr.. Lewis for at least three of
his broadcastS.
"When the Jew campaign to
whitewash the Rosenberg woman
was fully organized, it was dis
covered that Fulton Lewis was in
the thing with me up to his neck.
The Jews put on the pressure and
the price was 'Repudiate Smith or
get off the air.. This is the Jew
ish formula.
"In spite of his weakness and
cowardice, hold Mr.. Lewis in
high esteem for the good things
he has said and the vigorous fight
he has put up, but he has demon
strated one thing: he fears the
Jews more than he hates Com

tarY OF defense.
The U. S. Government revealed
captured Nazi documents show
ing that Lewis was friendly with
the Nazi Embassy before we en-
tered World War Two. The ARCH
ives indicate that Lewis offered
to draft a proposed letter for Hit
ler---a letter which would have
been useful in the Nazi scheme
for world conquest.
Some neWsmen who know
Lewis say that he is careful to a.
void remarks which are obvious
ly anti-semitic because Jews are
among his sponsors. He adheres
to the more respectable" Repub-
ican right-wing Mccarthy line.
It was first made known on
November 9 that Mrs. Rosenberg,
a distinguished expert on man.
power problems, was to be made
assistant secretary of defense.
The following day Lewis went on
the radio with the scoop" that
