self-respecting nation of a body
frankly or obviously devoted to
promoting a foreign interest
inevitably inflames the spirit of
the community, not only against
themselves but against the alien
state they serve. It's existence
drives the community toward
militant resistance, and creates
fear of, and consequently hos
tility toward, its foreign manip-
ulators.
There is no doubt that
the activities of the German
and Italian Communicative
strongest Communist parties in
Europe-greatly contributed to
the success of Hitler and Mus
solini in winning mass follow
ings on the basis Of a threat
ened national interest.
Patriotism is still the strong
est force in all nations-includ-
ing, as the war demonstrated,
the U. S. S. r. Where the
patriotic spirit is outraged by
insolent fifth columns, reason
able voices counselling pacifica-
ton Of interstate differences
are silenced. Precisely because
Russian agents call for peace,
advocacy Of peace becomes
tinged with the suspicion of
treason. Precisely because pros
ecution of Communists is not a
witch hunt, a premium is put on
conformity.
Thus, in America today, per-
sons who fervently desire to
avoid the criminal folly of an
other war are reluctant to
counsel restraint, or advocate
any compromises whatever, lest
they become thereby allies Of
the hated conspirators.
How does this serve Soviet
peace?
Nor have Communist parties
in countries at war with the
Soviets ever served to weaken
Soviet enemies. When war
started their members defaulted
or were interned. They suffered
severe prosecutions but these in
no way contributed to the secu-
rity Of the Soviets. On the con-
trary, the existence of these
bodies furnished the most pow
erful war interest.
Assuming. therefore, that So
Wet leaders are primarily con-
cerned for Soviet security, the
international Communist Party
is a Soviet liability, not an as
set. ,

David Lowrence:

Moral support is more i'm
portant than material support in
maintaining a government that
is being subjected to Communist
infiltration.
This statement by Gen. Wede-
meyer. as to the reason why he
thought the Nationalist govern
ment in China was being stead
lily undermined in postwar
years by the confusing and
wavering policies of the De-
partment Of State, has particu-
lar relevancy at this very mo-
ment.
For, strangely enough, the
administration. although pro-
Tossing to be the supporter of
the Chinese Nationalist govern
ment, has just notified the world
that it wants to investigate the
activities Of American citizens
and groups which are supporting
the Nationalist Government Of
China.
Up to now Secretary Of State
Acheson. on the witness stand
ut the Senate hearings, had been
most careful not to say anything
that could in the slightest
degree be interpreted as un-
friendly or offensive to any
government In alliance with the
United States. But the Nation
alist government, which Is an
ally and which is the legally
recognized government of China
SO far as the United States is
concerned, is now to be brought
under official suspicion. This is
worth good deal to Communist
China.
When Mr.. Acheson testified,
first he was cautious and OBJ
jective about the rumors that
there was such a thing as q
China lobby" He said 1t was
all "hearsay" to him. Then
something happened. The next
day the Secretary volunteered
to the Senate committee that
the President had authorized
Evening star., 1951-06-12

him to say that all the execu-
tive departments and agencies
would be instructed to cooper
ate in any inquiry Congress
might make into the so-called
China lobby" What had been
the suggestion of one member
Of Congress became a presiden-
tial policy.
This conceded with a TRADE
of abuse of the Nationalist
government from "left wing"
sources which have steadily
been seeking to get the Presi-
dent to abandon the National
ist government. accept the
Communist regime and give
them recognition and a seat in
the U.N.
Just why Mr.. Truman al
lowed himself to be entrapped
in what is a public reputation
Of the Nationalist government
is difficult to understand. For
indeed it will be so regarded
throughout the world, especially
in the Far East. Where else did
the critics say the money was
coming from to carry on the
China lobby" except from the
Nationalist government Of
China?
The eagerness with which the
idea of an investigation was
grabbed by the cleft wing" here
was significant, as was the rep
etition Of the old charges about
how corrupt the Chinese Ma
tionalist government is supposed
to be.
General Wedemeyer, who
knows the China problem in
timately, has just testified that,
while he denounced corruption
and told the Nationalist govern
ernment from time to time
about its weaknesses, he thought
this aspect had been overem-
phasized and that there was
some corruption in every gov
eminent in the world.

Evening star., 1951-06-12

It is doubtful that Gen. Brad
ley and his colleagues in the
jos will speak out bluntly and
tell Congress that We will be
pouring billions down the drain
unless our allies try to match
our own effort. This would be
totally contrary to the diplo-
matte policies Of the admins
tration. He Is said to have
warned the leaders in Paris and
London with whom he has had
extensive talks that the ad-
ministration may have a rough
time with Congress unless some
more tangible and effective ef-
forts are made by our Western
European friends.
In Paris, Gen. Bradley is re.
ported to have received assur-
ances that as soon as the elec-
tions are over and the new
face" Of the Assembly can be
seen. preparedness work will be
speeded up to our satisfaction.
The British political leaders
were more bland on this matter.
The jos chairman was in
complete agreement with his
French and British military
colleagues. They do not like
the situation any more than
Gen. Eisenhower and Gen.
Bradley do. But they are
shackled by politicians, who
have the final word when it
comes to the organization Of
their armies into real military
forces.
What is said to have surprised
our top-ranking generals most
is the fact that the political
leaders in France and Britain,
while fully aware of their coun-
tries state Of unpreparedness,
still stubbornly refuse to include
in the overall defense setup ma
tions which possess military
forces.

Primary Condition for Peace
Dissolution Of International Communist Party
Only Way Soviet Can Hope to Avert War

The plain fact is that only
known and vigorous anti-Com-
munists can obtain any public
hearing for a policy of greater
restraint toward the Soviets, and
that, from the viewpoint of In
ternational peace, the sober Wall
Street Journal is a greater asset
than the Daily Worker.
We wonder whether such con-
siderations ever cross Stalin's
mind. II they do not, I should
think it a function Of diplomacy

Dorothy Thompson:

Among all the obstacles in the
way of ending the cold war, the
international Communist Party
is the greatest, and it's sincere
dissolution. as promised to
President Roosevelt by Marshal
Stain, is the primary condition
for the peace the Soviets
claim-even perhaps sincerely
to want.
This organization, of which
the so-called American Party Is
merely a section, is directed by
the Soviet Politburo, and al
though it's ultimate objective is
the sovietizing Of the world,
this objective has become, since
the struggle between Stain and
Trotzky, subservient to the de-
fense of the Soviet Union. Thus,
had it been conceivably pos
sible during World War II, and
following the German attack on
Russia, for any Communist
party in the Allied world to have
overthrown the government on,
say, an anti-war platform, So
Wet discipline would have pre-
vented it, for such action would
have been detrimental at the
time to the interests Of the
Soviet state.
That the existence of such
an alien-dominated apparatus
within our own state constitutes
a real and present danger has
just been confirmed by the
United States Supreme Court, as
could, I think, be anticipated
from the arguments of Trial
Judge Harold Medina, and of
Judge Learned Hand of the
Court of Appeals.
But it can, I think, be sin
cerely argued that the existence
Of this conspiracy also consti-
tutes a real and present danger
to the Soviet state.
The various sections Of the
universal pro Russian party
have the primary function to
exercise an inhibiting influence
against external attacks on the
u. s. s. R.. and weaken the war
making capacity of states,
should they become engaged in
war against the Soviets.
But do they, in fact; perform
this function?
They have, I think, an exactly
contrary influence. Their very
existence intensifies the factors
making for anti-Soviet war.

chief. Gen. Eisenhower, he is
reported to have real doubts
about the efficacy of existing
forces in Western Europe, and
even more disappointed IN the
manner in which necessary
preparations for an emergency
are progressing.
Both Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. Bradley have made eau
tiouS public statements indicat-
ing their displeasure with the
lag they have discovered, both
in actual steps taken by our
allies to increase their armed
forces and their future plans for
doing so. These, Of necessity,
must remain obscure. because of
the political situation in Europe.
The French government, for
instance, is paralyzed because it
fears an adverse reaction at the
polls next Sunday If it imposes
drastic laws to step up military
preparations.
In Britain there is still a
lackadaisical atmosphere, caused
principally by the idea OF the
majority of the Labor govern
ment that a conflict with the
U. s. S. r. can be avoided If the
Allies soften their attitude and
look the other way when Russia
tightens her grip on her neigh

In Italy the situation is not
much better. The government

significance, there Is no ques-
ton that Mr.. de Gasperi must
be careful how he handles the
question Of preparedness, which
might place new military obli-
cations on the Italians.

Regal Moths live over a wide
area in the eastern half of the
United States. They are found
from Massachusetts to Illinois, and
southwark to Texas and Florida.
Usually they stay near forests
where they can lay their eggs and
where their caterpillars can have
plenty of leaves to eat.
This might lead some people to
think that Regal Moths are de-
structive pests which harm forests.
The National Wildlife Federation
says this is not the case. There
are not enough Regal Moths and
caterpillars to do any great harm.
They are simply interesting, eye
catching inhabitants of the insect
world. The leaves which they de-
cour are hardly missed, and they
themselves may furnish a meal

Ladders should always be kept

desirable to use make-shift devices

RenoI Moth

About twenty kinds of royal
moths live in the United States.
The largest of these is the Regal
Moth. He is a colorful giant who
can spread his wings until they
stretch five to six inches from tip
to tip.
The wings are divided into two
parts-fore and hind. The fore
wings are olive-gray, spotted with
yellow and lined with reddish
brown veins. The hind wings are
orange-red, and they also have
dark red veins. The wings carry
a short, thick body which is orange
red with pale yellow spots.
Early in the summer, the Regal
Moth lays eggs on the leaves of
trees and plants. The eggs hatch
into caterpillars which feed on the
leaves of hickory, butternut, black
walnut, persimmon, and other
trees.
The caterpillars have a name of
their own. They are called Hick-
ory-Horned Devils, because their
bodies are covered with rows of
spiny, black horns. Since the cat
erpillars are five inches long and so
well armed, they look dangerous.
But the National Wildlife Fedora
tion says they are really quite
harmless.
Along about September, the
Hickory-Horned Devil burrows into
the ground. There he spends the
winter and waits for June to roll
around. He doesn't bother to wrap
himself in a cocoon, as some cater
pillars do, but slowly changes into
the next form of his life--the pupa.
In June the pupa is ready to
force it's way out of the earth. The
air and sunshine help it to grow
and change. Soon it has the shape
and size of full-grown Regal
Moth, ready to lay eggs and fit

The
YeHOU-BreaSted Chat

If birds had circuses, one of the
stars of the big top would be the
Yellow-Breasted Chat. A conf
cal fellow, he reminds you of a
clown when he takes to the air,
with his wings fluttering crafty
and his legs dangling loosely be-
meath him.
What's more, he ranks second
only to the mockingbird as an
imitator. A solo by the Yellow
Breasted Chat is IAN amazing va
riety of clucks, quacks, news,
purrs, whistles, toots and
squawks. With short pauses be-
tween numbers, he reels off a
long concert of jerky songs and
sounds.
To top it off, the Chat is an ex-
pert ventriloquist - the best in
the bird kingdom. Just when you
think you know where he is, the
sounds begin to come from first
one spot and then another. At
last you discover that the clever
bird has never moved at all, but
has been throwing his voice here
and there to fool you. He often
uses the trick to lure intruders
away from his nest.
The Yellow-Breasted Chat has
one big drawback as a performer,
says the Natioal Wildlife Fedora
ton. He is much too shy ever to
stay before an audience.
