THANKSGIVING

Do we have anything special to be

say that it all depends on the
point Of view that we take. 1t is
true that most Of the world inc lud-
ing our own country, is Wallowing
in state Of c onfus on. The two
largest groups of people in the po-
litical world view each other with
suspicion and distrust. Every day
we hear charges and counter charges
by each side, purporting to believe
that the other side is not to be
trusted, and that each side has pol
icies that Will eventua lily destroy
civilization.
So called Communi S tic countries,
(that are not very Communi site in
fact) and the SO called Democratic
countries, (many Of which are not
very Democratic) are Juggling and

nine-tenths Of the people Of the

Of the Scientists who helped to de-

such war were started, it would

great effort is being made to pre-
vent this from being done. 1t seem
that if there is as much danger Of
so much damage being done as many
seem to think, that most thinking

took his seat in 1947. is up for
reelection next year.
Senator Benton'S move was
Immediately hailed by Senator
Wherry, Nebraska Republican
leader, as political in motive,
which was not unusual. It was
that. of course, representing a
long-delayed counterattack to
meet an issue that was effec-
lively exploited against the
Democratic Party in the 1850
elections and. from all signs, is

ter sense where member of
a responsible party undertakes
to rally his party to strike at
an influence-McC Carthyism in
this instance-which is harm
full to our politics and our So
ciety. It is a commentary on
Democratic Party leadership
that a newcomer, an outsider
so to speak, finally had to step
forward and make the issue.

Korea Used Up Blood Stockpi|e
American People Thus Far Have Shrugged Off All Appeals
To Repenish PIosmo Fighting Men Have Spilled for Them

Where are the blood donors?
Korea is about to take rank
rs one Of Americas costliest
wars in terms of casualties rela-
tive to the forces engaged in the
fighting. Yet the American peo-
pie have so far shrugged off all
appeals for blood to replace
what their fighting men have so
fr~e1y spilled for them.
Korean requirements have
swallowed up the World War II
stockpile. For current needs and
to replenish it, 100000 pints Of
blood monthly are needed. What
has been coming in is a trickle-
$4,000 pints month.
The situation is so serious a
special drive has been ordered
by Deputy Secretary Lovett
which will soon be kicked off
by Secretary Marshall and Gen.
Bradley. Not daring to take
chances, however, with more
OF the present frightening
apathy, an Armed Forces blood
program will be included. Serv-
ice personnel will be virtually
dragooned on all military bases
within the continental United
States; civilian employees will be
invited to participate.
The American Red Gross will,
as usual, act as the collecting

of Maryland, whom Senator
Butler defeated.
Senator Tydings' offense, as
far as Senator Mccarthy was
concerned, was that he was
chairman Of the Senate Foreign
Relations subcommittee which
investigated the Wisconsin Sen
ator's charges of Communists
in the State Department, and
found them without any proof
whatever. Senator Mccarthy
was severely criticized in a ma
jority report, whereupon he
cried "whisewash." To this day
he has not come up with a
single name, which is often
overlooked in the furore he
stirred up recklessly all over the
country.
With the Maryland election
report, the bill of particulars
against the Wisconsin Senator,
himself. is growing longer and
it is based on proven facts.
Senator Benton boldly took the
leadership to use the record for
an expulsion move. This serves
to concentrate the issue against
the Wisconsin Senator and Nc
Carthyism as an offense against
the Senate itself, it's standards
and its traditions. It offers a
rallying point for those who
want to hold McCarthyism up
to the light so that all citizens
can see its dangers to funda-
mental American rights. Polite
ly suggesting that Senator Nc
Carthy resign forthwith, Sena-
tor Benton said that is what "a
high percentage of members of
this body" would do In the face

tage in the propaganda ex-
changes.
The moral force of the world
has never really been exerted
effectively against the Soviet
regime. The American Govern
ment has never in so many
words laid 1t on the line that
the Soviet regime is an immoral
government not entitled to be
treated as a member of the fam
lily of nations.
In public speeches some
American officials have ac-
cused Russia of aggression. but
that's mere name calling. The
record is certainly filled with
evidence of what Moscow has
done in the Far East and in
the satellite countries of Europe.
That record has never been Of
f1cially stated as an expression
by the United States Govern
ment to the world. The Soviet
regime has never. in fact, been
held up as an outlaw govern
ment.
The chance has come to make
clear that only when faithless
acts are abandoned and a gov
ernment that really represents
the aspirations Of the peace
loving people of Russia arises
can there be an end to the arms
race and a removal of the ten
sion that is injuring the econo-
mics Of the free world and COM
pelling more and more of the
youth Of all countries to mobil-
ize for defense against sudden
attack. The responsibility Of
the Kremlin for the chaos that
fills the world has never been
officially defined in so many
words and transmitted to the
Russian people. Logically it's
the next move.

Pussyfoot Di pIomocy Should End

That Krein Has Forfeited Right to Be Treated as Equal

misconstrues this as a weakness
and hence feels free to taunt the
principal governments of the
world with false charges.
For the latest Russian pro-
nouncement repeats that the
United States was an aggressor
in Korea and that the United
Nations invaded that peninsula.
The opportunity to tell the
people Of Russia the truth in Of
fetal language is now presented
to the American Government.
Will it take up the Kremlin's
statement and give the facts
about each of its charges and
cite chapter and verse? Will it
declare not only to the Russian
people but to the people of the
whole world that the Moscow
regime has forfeited any right
to be accepted on an equal ba-
sis with other nations?
The Russian statement makes
much Of its desire to be accepted
as an equal. But equality pre-
supposeS fidelity to truth and
likewise a willingness to give up
force and coercion as a means
Of influencing the action of
other nations.
The satellite countries furnish
vivid examples of how Soviet
compulsion has worked. 1t is a
proper occasion now for the
American Government to out
line the record of what has been
happening throughout Russia
and the satellite areas.

and the U. N. are to be timid
and to cherish the illusion that

Dovid Lowrence:

When Congress passed a
resolution expressing friendship
for the Russian people. it was a
good thing to do-to show that.
no matter what friction pre-
vailed between the governments,
there was a basic desire for a
peaceful relationship between
the peoples.
Such a well-intentioned move,
however, now has been met by
calumny and Misrepresentation
by the Soviet government. The
weakness of the American posi-
tion from a counter-propaganda
standpoint is that the United
States Government still deals
with the Soviet regime as If it
were a respectable institution
when, in fact. the hands Of the
Red rulers are soiled with the
blood of aggression.
Everybody knows who has
been supplying the Chinese Reds
with munitions to kill the troops
Of the United Nations.
Everybody knows that the Rus
sian government has been faith
less to the charter of the United
Nations.
Yet diplomatic relations are

with satellite countries which are

the governments of the free

Little Hope for Genuine Peace
Moscow Shows No Change of Heart in Bid for New Poet
Propaganda Efforts Only Phase in Cold War
John c. Henry:

There could be several good
reasons why Soviet Russia is
continuing its peace offensive"
in a new bid for a flve-power
pact. Unfortunately they pro-
vide little hope for genuine peace
or even a feeling that there has
been any change of heart in
Moscow.
The first objective, already
the target in Malik's Korean
truce proposals, is the slowing
down Of American mobilization.
In their desperate preference
for peace the American people
are vulnerable to such an ap-
proach. as evidenced by the
let-down noted when the truce
talks began. It is unlikely, how
ever. that this latest maneuver
will have appreciable effect on
a public skepticism that has
come Of age during the past
six years Of Russian aggression
and double dealing.
= The second objective, perhaps
more within reach Of the Mos
cow strategists. is to drive a
wedge between the United States
and other parts Of the free
world.
II has been clearly noticeable
IN recent weeks. for example,
that Britain is being given a
special course Of propaganda
treatment through such devices
as the printing in Soviet journals
Of the statement by Foreign
Minister Morrison and the
friendly audience granted the

pendence and resistance to for-
eign domination. Nationalism
has been In their blood for CEN
turies.
The current wave of escapes
from Poland, the purge trial Of
high ranking army officers in
Warsaw, the violent uprooting
of thousands in Hungary, the
abiding hatreds among the
f1ercely individualistic Baltic
peoples, and even the indications
Of GOODNESS between China's
Mao and RusSia's Stain are all
OF a pattern. The Russian rule
IN the satellite areas is poised
precariously on these volcanic
emotions. A constant searching
must go on for new crusades Of
deceit with which to balance
these upheavals. The United
States, with it's traditions Of
freedom and respect for the dig
nifty of the individual, is the OBJ
vious counterforce in the world
and consequently the obvious
target for Kremlin propaganda.
That there is a propaganda
appeal in the peace offensive"
cannot safely be denied. It be.
hooves Washington, therefore,
to shape its reaction carefully.
and preferably in concert with
