THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Brunnon Smith

We have all heard a great deal
during the past few weeks about
Americas obligation to the Unit
ed Nations - how we cannot af-
ford to 'let down" the UN or the
people of western Europe - how
we must keep our economic and
military support in order to keep
the world from being over run by
communism. All of this of course,
is being done on the premise
that we want our own system of
private enterprise and individual
freedom to prevail throughout the
world rather than to sit by and
see communism take over COM
piete economic, military and poll
teal control of all the people of
Asia, Europe and the world.
America certainly is obligated
to give the United Nations a fair
trial since we are the leading
member of that body - but it's
a poor rule that doesn't work both
ways. We feel that the United
Nations has an obligation to
America in return for Americas
support.
Certainly we are not getting a
fair deal from the United Ma
tions for while some $4,000
American casualties are being
suffered in icy Korea the coun-
tries represented in the United
Nations talk and talk and talk
like old women at sewing bee.
The world moves too fast for
such debate.
While men prattle good Ameri~
can lives are being sacrificed on
battlefields not of their own
choosing or liking.
When the highest political brass
in Washington muddies up the
water to such an extent that our
American boys are being shot and
killed with weapons that came
from their own country then it is
time for the American people to
make themselves heard.
If the United Nations cannot
decide anything without weeks
OF debate and attempted appease-
ment while its troops are being
slaughtered without chance -
then we think it is too cumber-
some a burden to carry on our
Ame4ics withdfsw ise nov L ssxes q
If the United Nations is going
to be nothing more than de-
batting society we would be much
better off outside of it.
The American people believe in
action and If we are going to
fight war in Korea our troops
must be given enough men and
materials to wage and win the
battles. The American people
will not long stand for Americans
being slaughtered in Korea or
elsewhere while the United Ma
tions and our Congress debates
on whether to shoot back or not,
and if so, when.
That's the way this war has
been carried on so far - and we
are losing it. Our world pres
tege, formerly so high, has dinim-
ished almost to the vanishing
point.
The war in Korea is not popular
with the American people
Neither is the idea of our fight
ing Communist China.

BY the Asseeioted Press
