Ambassador Kennun

Many of us will rejoice at the PreSi-
dents appointment of George Kennan
as Ambassador to the US.SR. on the
quite solid ground that he is person
of wide experience and penetrating in
tellect admirably qualified to deal at
close quarters with the Moscow regime.
Others may question the wisdom of re-
moving him from the domain of the
planning table where his value to our
overall diplomatic strategy may be in
finitely greater. 1t is at best difficult to
judge with certainty whether the sagac-
ity of the policy maker or the skill of
the diplomat-both attributes unques-
tionably belonging to Mr.. Kennan-
should be given the higher priority. This
is a dilemma exacerbated by the notion
entertained in a number of circles that
OUR diplomatic corps at both levels is in
a state of disrepair, weakened on the
one hand by a paucity of statesmen
capable of forging a consistent and
fortnight American foreign policy, on
the other by an excess of mediocre
career men implementing a foreign
policy essentially circumspect.
Conceivably the decision to place Mr..
Kennan in direct contact with the
Kremlin is a good one from the point
of view that our policy of containment
vis-a-vis the Soviet Union is now fairly
fundamental and not likely to be altered
in the foreseeable future, a condition
that may justify his being assigned to
the arena of pragmatic diplomacy.
1t would be idle to suppose that the
new ambassador will be able during his
tenancy of the Moscow post to assuage
materially the acerbic character of
Soviet-American relations. Clearly this
can be done only by the Russians them
selves. But it is equally clear that the
tough-minded Mr.. Kennan will take
with him keen appreciation of the
nature of imperialistic Communism,
and. perhaps more pertinently. a first
hand knowledge of the Politburo's appli-
cation of the Marxist-Lenmist dogma in
its contemporary context.

The Soviet Submarine Threot

The race for submarine superiority is being
accelerated by the worlds principal contenderS.
the United States and Russia. The latter already
is far ahead of us in fleet strength but a grim
race for superior speed and individual fighting
power is under way. That Russia is making good
headway in the contest is evident from the lat
est edition of James Fighting Ships, authorita-
tive British handbook on the worlds navies.
AS for numbers, Russia's Navy is making
desperate efforts to build the greatest undersea
fleet ever to sail under one flag. 1t is aiming
toward 10O0-boat total. James informants
say that the Soviet Navy today has about $40
submarines in service, with 120 others being
rushed to completion. Compare those figures
with our own feet of 95 submarines in active
service and about 70 in mothballs BY next year
we are expected to have about 100 in service

ing the snorkel-type long-range submarine, first
tested successfully by the Germans. James
annual says the Soviet Navy has conceptrated
on getting maximum underwater speed from
these large craft with the result that one mine
laying type can make Is knots or more below
the surface We are finally making good progress
on the fast snorkel boats, too. James reports
that we are building two experimental high
speed submerSbles- already publicized atom
powered boat and long-range vessel designed
to use hydrogen peroxide for fuel. There is no
evidence that the Russians have been able to
adapt atomic power to submarines as yet How
long we will maintain an advantage in that
important field Is hard to determine Certainly
the Soviet scientists and engineers were not long
delayed in making use Of atomic energy for ex-
plosive purposes. They may not be far behind
us in developing atomic power plants for ships
While we are not trying to keep pace with
Russia in submarine construction, we are de-
voting special attention to anti-submarine war
fare. Many new ships and weapons intended to
seek out and destroy enemy submarines are in
service or are being built. The high Importance
of this phase of our defense program is evident
from the disturbing appraisal which James year.

Aesop and Red Hungary

Two fables from AeSop seem to be applicabl
in rather loose sort of way-to the incident
OF the four captive airmen for whose freedom
the mighty United States of America has paid
out $4,000 in ransom to the weak and noisome
puppet tyranny that calls itself the government
OF the Hungarian Peoples Republic"
The first of these fables probably will be of
some interest to anybody who feels that our
Government has acted much too timidly in this
matter and that it ought to resort to retaliatory
measures-including complete diplomatic break
far more severe than the closing of Red Hun
gary's consulates in Cleveland and New York
Entitled The Hound and the Fox" the fable
reads as follows:
Hound roaming in the forest spied a
Lion and mistakng him for lesser game,
gave chase, thinking he would make fine
quarry. Presently the Lion perceived that he
was being pursued; so, stopping all of sudden,
he rounded on his pursuer and let out
thunderous roar. Whereupon the Hound
turned tail and fled. Fox observing the
scene, jeered from the sidelines and said: "Ho!
no! There goes the coward who chased a
Lion and ran away the moment the Lion
roared"
However, although many Americans believe
that Hound Hungary would be less brash today
had our State Department long ago emulated
the Lion, the second fable is not without point
cerned. Indeed, if they give thought to the
future as we'll as the present, all the reasonable
satellite tyrannies might we'll profit from reading
the little tale about The Flea and the Man"
1t goes like this:
A Flea bit Man, and bit him again, and
again, till he could stand it no longer but
went after it and at last caught it. Holding
1t between his finger and his thumb, he
shouted out in great anger: Who are you,
pray, you wretched little creature, that you
make so free with my persona" The Flea,
terrified whimpered in a small, weak voice:
"Oh. sir! Please let me go; don't kill mel
am such little thing that 1 can't do much
harm" But the Man laughed and said: Il am
going to kill you now, at once, For whatever
is bad has got to be destroyed, no matter how
slight the harm it does"
Perhaps this particular fable is bit too
strong for the current situation. Even so, the
Communists ought to ponder it well and realize
that if they keep on with their crimes, they will
yet learn to their sorrow the real meaning of
Secretary Achesons warning that the patience
of the American people is not inexhaustible.

Salisbury Spire Repaired

Americans who learned to appreciate the
beauty of Salisbury Cathedral while camped
nearby in two World Wars will be glad to hear
that the spire of that noble church has been
saved from destruction. Repairs which were
necessary to prevent collapse of the tower have
been completed successfully. There no longer
is any danger from the forces of nature. and it
may be hoped that similar observation may
apply to those looSed by men.
Salisbury always has been fortunate. 1t
represents Early English Gothic at its best. Built
between 1920 and 1866, it is the result of one in
tensive campaign of construction. Bishop Rich
ard lie Poore, remarkable individual whose per-
Sonal example was an inspiration for thousands
of collaborators. was the leader of the work. He
was followed by Robert Bingham, William of
York, Giles de Bridport and Walter de la Wyle,
each of whom contributed to the development of
the original design. King Henry III also gave of
his wealth to the structure. 1t grew in grandeur
day by day
But the magnificent spire which was to
crown the whole picture probably was not begun
until about $780, The name of the chief mason
is preserved. He was Richard of Farleigh, and
traces of his mastery of stone are to be found at
Reading and Bath proving that he was busy
and popular craftsman of his time. The style of
his share of Salisbury is Early Decorated P H.
Dtchfield, an authority on the subject, says of
the composition: "On each side there is an ar
cade, richly canopied and having double win
dows. At each angle there is a turret, with
crocketed Spire, and from a mass of richly
decorated pinnacles the great spire rises" The
capstone, 4O4 feet above the ground, contains
lead box in which there is fragment of cloth
believed by some to be relic of the Virgin.
Below on Salisbury Plain stands all that re-
mains of Stonehenge, once the capital of Eng
land. Thus the ages are linked not merely for
the people of Britain but likewise quite definitely
for those of America who are heirs to the same
traditions.
