to another and, as a reminder OF
what a frolicsome lot the old Rus
SLAMS were. it is rather interesting.
Oddly enough it was regarded as
nihilistic in its heyday but, beg
ging the Cars pardon, Gogol was
allowed to produce it.
It has been running ever since,
not consecutively, but as often as
the idea occurs to college groups,
theaters-in- the-round, and even
as a recent Technicolor movie star
ring Danny Kaye. Such durability
must be deserved. the more so in
the case of anything that was born
in Russia in 1896.
Arena Stage may be giving it it's
first theater- in the-round produc-
ton, and a gusty one it is.
x ~
Virtually all of Arenas top-f1ight
performers are engaged in this
frenzied case of mistaken identity,
directed by Zelda Fichandler.
Their approach to Inspector
General is not at all that of
a group fearful that it might
crumble under a downright slap
stick attack. On the contrary, it
is treated as if Gogols roughhouse
Judgment of mankind's folly were
as timely today as it ever was.
This is not a debatable assump-
ton.
Arenas production has indeed
made doubly sure on this score by
the insertion of excerpts from to-
days headlines which in nowise
musS up Gogols original text. One
of these has to do with mink coats
as proper gifts for well placed
wives and it accounted for one of
the loudest opening night laughs,
and will no doubt do the same on
succeeding nights.
Such a reference, of course, fits
right into the farce which antici-
pated all of today'S investigating
committees, especially the ke-
fauVer one.
Should anyone not have heard,
THE Inspector General" is the.
tale of official life in nineteenth
century Russian provincial COM
munity. Being far removed from
st. Petersburg, which probably did
not cares anyway. the governing
group of this province was busy
taking things Gall things into it's
own hands.
Suddenly, there is report of an
incipient visit of an inspector gen.
eral; worse still an incognito visit. |
No one could become more excited
than Gogol's people at the prospect
of a Russian spy in their midst. |
In the attendant iySteria, they fix
upon a strange young playboy type
as the man who has come to trap,
them.
Their faWning efforts to please
him have the effect not only OF
giving him the keys to the city,
but to every safe, boudor and wine
cellar in the town.
This makes a lot of nonsense
Just as Arenas SPONSORS antici-
pated it would.

First THINGS First

The fact that the President has come in
for certain amount of batting" because he
failed to stress key items in the Fair Deal pro-
gram in his state the Union message should
not be taken too seriously. 1t is part of the
political game.
It is true that such items as repeal of the
Taft-Hartley Act, the Fair Employment Prac-
tces bill, and the Brannan plan got the once
over-lightly treatment in the presidential mes
sage. Although Mr.. Truman had put these items
except for the Brannan plan, on almost de-
mand basis in former messages he did not even
mention them by name in his last address to
the Congress.
But times have changed, and Mr.. Truman
to his credit altered his message accordingly
Considering the political complexion of the new
Congress, it would have been foolish for him to
have made fight for the old programs. More
important than this however, is the fact that
this country is in a state of war emergency,
state in which, as Mr.. Truman said, first things
must come first. The first thing, in this situa-
ton, is the security of the Nation. To that end,
political and domestic matters of a partisan
nature must be deferred. But if any one thinks
that Mr.. Truman has forgotten them or that
he will not revert to them The Star ventures
the opinion that they are mistaken.

Why the Free World Reorms

In their reply to the Kremlins recent note
accusing them of violating the Anglo Soviet
treaty of 1912 by favoring limited defensive
rearmament for West Germany, the British have
succinctly and effectively summed up some of the
major reasons why the free world has now be-
gun to beat its plowshares back into weapons.
In similar reply to similar note the French
have done the same Moscow's propagandsts,
of course, can be counted upon to respond with
another blast against "imperialistic warmon-
gers" but facts are facts, and on this side of
the Iron Curtain they cannot be argued away
by the threatful shouts of the real warmonger
and the real imperialist
For the reasons behind the free worlds eff
fort to rearm are too clear to be obscured by the
most violent and most mendacious form of
Russian propaganda. To begin with, as the
British have stated in their note the move to
have West German units participate in an
Atlantic defensive army has been undertaken
"solely because Soviet policy and actions have
compelled the other nations to examine all
means of improving their security against the
threat of Communist aggression" And to
emphasize this point the British have gone on
to recall that while they, like our own Nation,
draSticaly demobilized after the victory in 1945
the Soviet Union not only maintained in being
vast military forces out of all proportion to those
retained by her wartime allies, but also has
refused to agree to any effective system of inter-
national supervision of ornaments"
Among the other Western rearmament rea-
sons set forth by the British are the following:
Cd The formation, in violation of the Potsdam
Agreement of miitarized German units in Rus
sian-occupied East Germany; (2) disturbing
and growing evidence" of marked build-up
of armed power in the Kremlin's satellite states
in Eastern Europe; 90 the continuation, under
cover of a so-called peace campaign" of sub
versive activities by Moscow controlled Com
munist organizations against other countries
and "a the fact that the Stain government has
supported its North Korean puppets and the
Peiping Reds in their. acts of criminal armed
aggression in Korea-has supported them while
consistently opposing "the decision of the
United Nations to bring into operation the
measures of collective security provided for in
the Charter of the United Nations"
Given conditions of this sort-and there are
others equally threatening-it is obvious why the
free world feels compulsion to unite and rearm
as much and as fast as possible The funda-
mental law of sef-preservation requires it. The
men OF the Kremlin have made it imperative.
When they rail against it, when they describe it
as an act Of "imperialistic warmongering," they
are like would-be murderer who with club
in one hand and gun in the other berates and
reviles his relatively unarmed prospective victim
for trying to save himself from having his head
Dashed in If the Soviet Union wants our side
to act differently, it will have to offer concrete
evidence-as the new British note has implied
that it is really anxious to cooperate with us,
not destroy us.
