Now it is suggested that we
may have been too exacting in
our educational requirements
and that we can meet our pres
ent needs in part by lowering
the Army's standards. To meet
an immediate emergency that
might be a unsatisfactory
answer. But not for the long
pull. If our enemies are to be
Russia and China, we cannot
match them in numbers even if
the Army accepts absolute il
literates. We can only offset our
numerical inferiority through
better equipment, better train
ing and better leadership. That
;alls for education.
1t calls for education at the
elementary and secondary level,
which can only be provided in
many States through Federal
aid. Last year the Senate passed
a bill, Senator Taft one of its
authors, to grant $500 million
annually in aid. 1t was killed
by a House committee. This
week the House, without a dis
senting vote, authorized $235
million for a single warship, a
supercarrier. The experts say,
and they should know, that the
vessel will be worth the money.
But what do the experts say
concerning the hundreds Of
thousands of boys who are not
being educated sufficiently to
become soldiers?

The State Department is con-
fident that the resolution to
proclaim the Chinese Reds ag-
gressors will be approved by the
United Nations. But the pres
ent discussions-on such ques-
tions as when is an aggression
not an aggression?"-are irk-
some.
After a very short period
of righteous indignation and
amazement at Red China's re-
lection of the 'cease-f1re pro-
posal, a large number of U. N.
members have become alarmed
at our dangerous request" to
brand the Chinese aggressors.
Mere use of the word "aggreS-
sion" scares the daylights out
of the peace-loving delegates,
although to designate an aggres-
sor does not involve bellicose
obligations.
The old League of Nations
went a step further and ordered
sanctions against Mussolini's
Italy for his aggression in Ethi-
opia. An economic blockade
was imposed. but it became a
gigantic hoax. A brisk Illicit

to this precedent. even a block

have no better results.

anxious to have the Commu-

because it expects any practi-
cal results from such an action,

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.-Two
men who held up a bank teller

Mr.. Richart was cruising in his
radio car about two blocks from

a radio alarm. He arrived to find
two men going through the draw

a substance that can be pack
aged and exported. 1t Is not
concrete. 1t is an attitude
and behavior that can find
various outward forms, and
is beyond institutions. 1t is the
product of human experience,
which teaches that there must
always be checks to power, be-
cause few are able to resist too
much temptation; it recognizes
that there is a profound human
unity in destiny, but that good
fences make good neighbors. It

Wherever there is brotherhood,
and love, there is the essence of
democracy. You will find it in

and despite poverty.
You need not expose the
frauds of communism. Do you
not obesrve that the Communists
themselves assume the disguises
of democracy, as democratic

Dorothy Thompson:

I saw in the newspapers that
the State Department had called
in civic leaders to help fight Red
theology and find ways to apply
American propaganda abroad.
The department called in po-
litical scientists, a labor leader,
q university president, a theolo-
gian, etc. The problems they
presented were: How to expose
the errors, fallacies, frauds and
inequities of Communism, and
how to determine the lowest
common denominator of all nom
Communist governments-what
single attribute they all have.
1t seems this is just a be-
ginning and the State Depart
ment contemplates calling more
round-table conferences Of ex-
perts, on how to combat the
appeal of Communism in unde-
veloped and war-ravaged areas,
p and how to explain the essence
of democracy.
If official minds are express
ing themselves in such language
as that presented to the con-
ferees as a problem. there is
nothing they can communicate
to mankind. A third problem
presented to the heterogeneous
group assembled was phrased:
How to transform the quail
ities of democracy into concrete,
exportable form, to enable
the newcomers to democratic
thought to experience the tan
gible results of what might
otherwise be meaningless alb
straction."

the London government insists
that it cannot join us in too

also urges caution" when it

The Red armies will be on the
border of India in the next few
months. The Indian Prime Min
lister, Jawaharlal Nehru, is the
spearhead of appeasement and
has indicated clearly that his

There is not a single indica-
ton that China intends to stop

actual military compulsion. The
more the other nations hesitate

of her armed forces.

Hungary Limits Diplomats
To Area Around Budapest
By the Assoeioted Press

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. 20
The Hungarian Foreign Office
yesterday informed all foreign
diplomats they must have special
permission to travel outside a 30
kilometer perimeter around Buda-
pest. Thirty kilometers is about
10 miles.
The notification requested that
applications for travel outside this
area should contain an adequate
motive. The 30-kilometer radius
is centered at the Buda end OF
the 100-year- old chain bridge
which connects Buda and Pest
the two parts of the city from
which the capital gets its name.

reduction of thought to propa-
ganda.
All men are instructive with
response to truth. But propa-
ganda is always anti-truth, for
it is truth chained and distorted
to the purposes of power. Truth,
like freedom, relies on itself, in
vites nobody, sits in calmness
and light, and knows no dis
couragement.
What is needed is to ameli-
crate the grief of the human
soul, and bring it courage and
renewed belief in mans high
destiny. But no propaganda
bureau can do that. For truth
is personal revelation, the prod
uct of a single mind and soul
struggling with itself.
And all who really have some
thing to say out of the passion
of experience will say it with
appropriate expression, and will
be heard-if only by one other
person. And if it is good enough
and true enough, it will travel,
in proper time, to the ends of
the earth. without any UNESCO
or Voice of America, and despite
either.
There are so many voices
perpetually talking gobbledygool
at the top of their corporate
lungs that the still, small voices
of truth are drowned out.
