It's beginning to look like a
poor crop year for Dickinson
County. Rain-soaked soil cannot
be safely ploWed, nor can plants
begin their growth in chilling
temperatures. So the farmers and
gardeners are away behind in
their work. Many crops that
should be growing are not n the
ground, and it may be too late
for some of them. Most observers
agree that the spring is later
than for years.

chartlessness prevents their
moving against Russian political
and military aggressiveness.
Their attitude clearly indicates
their intention to postpone even
thinking about a basic and
morally defensible solution of
the German question until the
West is militarily strong. Thus
political policy is entirely sub
servient to military strategy, a
condition easy for the Soviets to
exploit as war mongering.
Yet it is precisely because we
thought in military rather than
political terms that we lost
World War II-not to the Ger
mans but to the Russians. Mill
tary strategy counselled attack
ing Germany through France.
instead of the Balkans. Military
strategy counselled paying the
Soviets a preposterous price to
enter the war against Japan.
Military strategy now says post
pone political action until we
have built up military strength
all on the preposterous as
sumption that the Russians,
having captured and held the
political offensive, will halt any
further military moves.

ber, 1914. by the Catholic
bishops of the United States.
They discussed this very subject
when what seems to be an in
ternal matter becomes a matter
of external or international con-
Germ. The words of that pro-
nouncement of a little more
than six years ago fit the Ar
gentine situation as explicitly
as if they had been written
today:
"The international organiza-
ton must never violate the
rightful sovereignty of nations.
Sovereignty is a right which
comes from the juridical per-
sonality of a nation and which
the international organization
must safeguard and defend.
However, national sovereignty
may not be interpreted as abb
solving a nation from its obliga-
tions in the international COM
munity. Moreover even within
the state, national sovereignty
is limited by the innate rights
of men and families. Since
civil authority does not confer
these God-given rights. it may
not violate them.
THE theology Of a nation in
its internal life is a concern of
the international community.
To reject this principle is tanta-
mount to maintaining that the
violation of the innate rights of
men in a country by its own
government has no relation to
world peace. Just at this mo-
ment, in the interest of world
peace, our nation is exerting it
self to root out some ideologies
which violate human rights in
the countries we are liberating.

are Democrats who hope the
Republican nationalists will

head their ticket. The fact that
he is an internationalist but in
clined to be domestically con-
Servative makes him a natural

doubtful that he would cater to
their intransigence on civil

That he appears principally as
a Republican possibility is only
natural. Republicans are split
deeply on foreign policy and
the nationalists have an obvious
strong man in Senator Taft. The

Just why we ever should have
tried to avoid in Paris the issue
of German rearmament is a
mystery. For here the West
has an issue with which to ex-
pose the utter mendacity Of the
Soviet peace" campaign. The
Soviets continue to charge the
West with the crimes of which
they themselves are guilty. The
West, instead of exposing the
facts in blistering condemnation,
behaves with a coyness suggest
ing it has something to hide.
All intelligence from Eastern
Europe shows that the RED
armies on the West European
frontiers are preparing for war.
To the revelations of rearma-
ment in East Germany, which l
quoted from the British "The
twentieth Century," can be
added those of Joseph Alsop,
writing from Berlin. The So
viets have 80 divisions in East
Germany (eight completely ar
mored) and another six in Po-
land.
Now it is revealed that they
have reserves of new tanks i'll
warehouses, large stocks of am
munition, crates of air engines
and air frames, are sending IN
new maintenance personnel,
for aircraft maintenance, and
building up fuel stocks with un-
derground tankage. Months
ago the Hamburg paper Die
Zeit" revealed extensive Soviet
war preparations in the Baltic.
There are revealing political
straws. The Soviet Union has
announced that West German
rearmament would not be toll
Grated. A month ago the gov
ernment of Poland informed
Belgium, the Netherlands and
Denmark that she would take
measures, even if she should
take them alone, if remilitar-
ization of West Germany did
not cease. Both are threats of
direct military intervention on
the basis of the charge that we
are rearming West Germany.
The charge of West German re-
armament is supportable only
as intention. not reality, but the
reluctant intention is branded
as an act of aggression in it.

M. Alexander Parodi, weakly

Gen. Eisenhower deliberately
is allowing the Eisenhower per-

point for the internationalist
principles in which he so pro-

Again and again and again
the general has said that Eu-
rope must be saved if America
and Western civilization are to
survive. AS a practical matter,
too, he knows that Europe must
be saved in two places: In Eu-
rope and in America, where the
principle of collective security Is
always under attack, an alert
and vigorous defense is always
required.
Ike in person is doing his part
in Europe and under great diff
culties maintaining the aloof
and correct position Of Gen.
Eisenhower, commander in =
chief of the allied armies. But
he understands very well that in
the turmoil of domestic politics,
Ike Eisenhower. the potential
President, also serves the cause
for which he fights.
Those United States leaders
and public men who understand
it, too, are going ahead with
their drive either to make the
general President in 1852 or at
the very least to create condi-
tions under which the candi-
dates for President will be like

Our press devotes its front pages
to revelations of crime and cor

the evidence that the Soviets
plan another Korea in Germany.
Instead Of insisting on opening
the issue of an East German
Wehrmacht, and demanding
that the whole of Germany be
opened to an impartial U. N. in
