A philosophical friend was
minded recently. in viewing the
turmoil and confusion of the
world today, of an episode in
"All Our Yesterdays" by H. P.
Tomlinson, the British writer
The scene is in France in those
terrible days during the early
part of the First World War
when the mighty German war
machine was rolling over the
French and British. The char
acters are two British captains
who had sat in, as aides. in
one of those top-level crisis
sessions where there was much
talk about what might possibly
be done.
One of the captains went back
to his quarters. The other dis
appeared for a time. When he
returned he said something to
this effect to his brother officer
in explanation (apologies for
paraphrasing):
did you listen to all those
generals and statesmen? Well,
after a meeting like that. I
always go out and take a walk.
I look up at the stars and say:
Well, God, I guess you've got
to 10 something about this"
Somehow the British and the
French managed it. after four
long years. with a bit of a lift
from us toward the end. And
maybe a lot of help from God.
Which recalls the mystical def
inition of God in H. G.. Wells
popular novel of that era, "Mr.
Britling Sees 1t Through" as
a force representing a sort of
distillation of the best instincts
of men which inspires them and
somehow triumphs in human
events in the end. (Mr. Wells
later got more cynical-and so
has a good deal of the human
race)
Britain and France eventually
got rolled over again by another
mighty German war machine.
We, too. get in that holocaust
that spread all over the world
in time. While it looked very
bad for quite a while, somehow
the free spirit, which we think
of as representing Mr.. Britling's
God, triumphed in the end.
Again there's a threat, and
very real again to the people of
Britain and France and other
European nations which are
blood relations in the family of
free men. Sitting over here, we
ask about those who live in the
road of every juggernaut that

tional community or the COM
munity Of nations-to punish
the criminal.
Although the Asian-Arab
states, which have succumbed so
easily to Red China's threat to
make general war, are not
mainly Christian states, their
own religious teachings-pre-
dominantly Moslem-do not re-
quire endless submission to in
justice and crime.
The great body of Americans
must be deeply perplexed over
this readiness of such a sizable
group of U. N. members to step
out of the anti-Communist
world and permit themselves to
be made the tools of people who
are enemies of what they, as
we'll as we. stand for.
AS a matter of fact, the Asian
Arab states are f1outing their
own national interests as we'll
as their obligation to support
the United Nations as the world
peace-preserving agency. Theil
interests dictate that they de-
fend their national sovereignty
and territorial integrity against
attack from any quarter.
If Red China can get away
with Intervention against a
U. N. police action" and in
wade a neighboring country
with which it was at peace, then
no small nation is safe from ag-
gression by larger and more
powerful neighbor.

face a serious menace to its
rear.
Our naval power. incidentally
is not confined to bombardment
from cruisers. Plenty Of planes
are flying from the decks of
aircraft carriers, and their
bombers are inf1icting damage
to supply Ines as they operate
alongside United States Air
Force land based planes which
range the northern area, too.
The Air Force is doing a Won
derful job.
The average American who
has been gathering defeatist i'm
pressions from the recent head
lines about the strategic with
drawal of U. N. forces does not
have a real conception Of the
extent of the damage done by
sea power and air power in the
last five weeks. The optimism
which has been emanating from
Washington and Tokyo in the
last few days about the improved
situation of our forces is based
primarily on the tremendous
losses being inflicted on the sup
ply lines of the enemy.
in the course of reoccupying
some of the areas which have
been recently abandoned by the
Communists, an opportunity has
been afforded to make an actual
count of some of the soldier
dead of the enemy. In one place
alone 1900 dead troops were ac-
counted for. and hence the be-
lief has developed that Red
China cannot indefinitely stand
the losses, especially since she
has her crack field army in
Korea
The U. N. can win in Korea,
but the battle now is with the
faint hearts and the craven in
triguers in its own ranks.

Henry McEenore:
Bids Stain to Visit His Home
AsDefense Meusurefo forU S.
Henry McCemore:

It stands to reason that Rus
sail never attack us If Joseph
Stain is in this country.
With our lack Of preparation
he'd probably be one of the first
ones to get it.
So, as a defense measure,
have asked Stain to visit us.
for as long as he cares to. The
letter of invitation was sent to
the Kremlin several weeks ago
and I am expecting a reply any
century now.
Now, ours isn't the most elab-
crate home in New York by a
long way, but we do guarantee
Stain several appealing fea-
lures.
For one thing. when he gets
back to Moscow he need not
send us a bread-and-butter
present. We want nothing. We
have learned from experience
that guests. in sending some
thing in the way of thanking
you for hospitality. have a dis
tinct talent for selecting items
which no one in the world would
want.
Tucked away in the attic, eel
lar, and storage bin. are such
thank-you gifts as a croquet set,
a silent butler with a broken
hinge, years subscription to
the New Zealand Sheepbreed-
er's Journal. a collection Of
American stamps issued since
1949, and a brace of smoked
wrens.
That. mind you. in payment
for several bars OF soap. two
dozen towels, free board and
lodging, and pressing, washing.
and dry cleaning on the house.
Stain will be comfortable
while staying with us. Lots Of
things we do all right. Jean has
an iron-clad rule that the bot
tom sheets on all beds be
changed once a week. When the
top sheets get changed is a
mystery to me. I do know, how
ever. that the top sheet in the
guest room has a record mileage
OF BAT days and looks as fresh
as if it were just put there in
1866 by Gen. Sherman.
Lois will cook right good for
him. One thing we don't do
and that is stint on food. Stain
could travel all over Russia and
not find a better dish than Lois
turnip greens boiled in vodka,
or Lois borsch laced with ag-
gression and freshly picked
bald-faced lies.
Well entertain him, too.
I don't know what Stain pre-
fers in the way of night life,
but I'll even go so far as to
engage a Peiping Tom to take
him on the rounds of the city.
During the day I'll provide
him with a camera so that he
can take pictures Of future Rus
sian bomb targets. such as the
United Nations building, which
isn't too far away from our
apartment, and the Empire
State Building. Russia never
has liked us to have a build
ing that tall. being as it claims
to have the biggest and tallest
of everything. including the men
Evening star., 1951-01-26

who make up the lies for such
claims.
I'll take M. Stain shopping,
too. ! want him to walk up and
down Park, Fifth and Madison
and all the side streets and get
a glimpse of what a degraded
capitalistic nation has been
driven to put in it's store win
dows.
Incidentally, I still burn when
I think Of what General WI
took back to China. He came
with a suitcase and left with
boxcar full of stuff. All made
by hands he didn't care to
shake.
No getting around it. The way
this country bends backward
should get it long-term en-
gagement as a contortionist.
When Stain gets here I'll hold
open house. Any one who cares
to, can bring firearms and fire
at will. Or at Joe.

Release From Obligation to Act Is Possible
In Event of Aggression in Europe or Asia
David Lowrence:

The United States is begin
ming to ask various governments
whether their attitude of pro-
craStination in the United Ma
tions means that, in the event
of an aggression committed
against their respective terri
tories, America is to be released
from obligation to act promptly
in branding and Furnishing such
aggression.
To say that the American
Government is astonished by
the strange behavior of various
member governments of the
U. N. is to put it mildly. 1t is
doubtful if some of these gov
ernments themselves realize the
extent to which they are jeop-
ardizing the prospect of Amer
lean protection for their in
terests in the future.
The United States went into
Korea and has suffered $4,000
casualties in the belief that the
members of the U. N. who voted
to resist aggression in North
Korea were sincere in that vote.
If they did not mean what they
said, then, in all candor, a reso-
luton should be adopted at
once resembling and revoking
that step and announcing to all
the world that the members of
the U. N. do not intend to resist
any aggression in Europe or in
Asia. This would give the United
States free hand.
The American taxpayer would
be relieved moreover, to discover
that the $200,000,000. for in
stance, which India wants from
our Government for food is
something that need not be
spent, after all, because India's
Prime Minister having allied his
government with the Moscow
government, presumably could
receive such aid from the
Soviets.

Flirting With
Stomach Ulcers?

Do you have hunger pains, heart

see your doctor - and start taking
Sedagel. For these disturbances may
mean excess stomach acid, believed to
be common cause of peptic ulcers.
Users say Sedagel acts faster lasts

lunches For Box Lunches
BY Betty Lou spavIdins

Dad, little sister, or big brother
may be the person in your family
who carries his lunch. Let's
hope that you know how to pack
a good one. If you do, the lunch
will supply about 1/3 of the daily
food needs, it will contain the
seven foods which are basic to
good health, will be packed neat
ly and attractively, and may con-
tain surprise.
Milk, that always important
food. might be used as the bev-
erage with the lunch, as a hot
creamed soup in a thermos, OF
in custard or pudding for dessert.
Protein foods are the meat
eggs, cheese, or nuts that might
be in sandwiches or extras tuck
ed into the lunch box.
A fresh fruit or vegetable is
another must" which adds not
only vitamins and minerals bu:
color and crispness.
Sandwiches are the energy
backbone of a box lunch. The
bread can be changed for variety
white, rye, Boston brown, nut, pa.
mana. Spreading the bread care
fully with butter or fortified oleo
adds another basic food and keeps
the bread moist Cutting a sand

to the pleasure of eating. Try
strips, triangular wedges, OF
squares.
The final surprise is the bes,
of all, even for Dad. Tuck in {
few nut meats, a piece of yellow

gum, gaily wrapped and in the
