Communist Generosity

Ten weeks ago, with great deal Of fanfare,
Communist China presented to the Red Cross
Society Of India donation Of $4,000 for famine
relief. But now, after having looked the gift
carefully in the teeth, Prime Minister Nehru's
government has returned 1t without thanks.
The incident speaks for itself as a measure
of Communist crudity For this gift was not
really a gift but an ill-disguised move to help
promote subversion in India. Peiping, beating
the propaganda drums, offered it as II animated
by a good and generous heart, but there was an
important string attached-namely, that the
money had to be distributed by the Red-con-
trolled Famine Relief Committee" Of the Andhra
region In Madras State. Generalissimo Macs
representatives In New Delhi insisted upon that.
In effect, In laying down this condition,

Let us not forget that the Russian is

conquest of the then known world facil-

Before many centuries the Western
world witnessed the triumph Of reason
over medieval superstition.
Faith is the substance Of things

sition to the credulity Of older Eastern

The Awakened Mr.. Wallace

Elsewhere in today's Star, in This Week
Magazine, former Vice President Henry A.
Wallace has an interesting story to tell about
his past mistakes regarding the Soviet Union.
It is the story of a man who has seen the light
only since shortly before the outbreak Of the
Korean war; It is the story, in sum- Of an
erstwhile sleepwalker whose belated awakening
has moved him now to describe as utterly evil"
the thing that once seemed to him to be good, at
least potentially. Good enough, that is, to be
hattered. wooed, trusted, showered with gifts,
and in general dealt with In turn -the-other-
cheek Spirit-more or less as one might deal with
pretty girl whose bad manners and occasional
waywardness could perhaps be excused on the
ground that she was essentially fine creature
who just needed to be understood to be won over
into becoming an excellent ever-loving wife,
According to his own evaluation, Mr.. Wal
lace's greatest mistake along this line was his
failure in 1948 to denounce the Communist coup
in Czechoslovakia. Although practically all his
contemporaries in the free world recognized the
deed for what it actually was-a dominance
seeking, liberty destroying act of subversion
engineered by the Kremlin-he regarded 1t at the
time as an understandable internal move sup
ported by most Of the Czech people. In fact
having been thoroughly hoodwinked by the
Russians over a number Of years-notably during
his wartime mission to Siberia--he believed up
until 1949 that they really wanted and needed
peace" and hence could be persuaded to CO.
operate in building decent international
society. It was not until after 1949 that he grew
more and more disgusted with the Soviet
methods; not until then did he begin to realize
how guileless and gullible he had been. There
after, slowly but surely, what with the shocking
exposure of Moscow's atomic espionage and the
testimony Of American ex-Reds, he finally
became convinced that the Politburo wanted the
cold war continued indefinitely, even at the
peril Of accidentally provoking hot war;"
II he had been in a position Of responsibility
In the immediate postwar years, Mr.. Wallace
might not have taken as long as he did to wake
up to the hard, grim facts Of international life.
However, considering the naiyete Of many Of
his judgments and the stubborn way in which
he clung to them until 1949, it gives one a
somewhat shuddery feeling to think of what
might have been the course of American foreign
policy had the 1914 Democratic convention
renominated him for the vice presidency. But
this is highly "iffy" matter. and perhaps there
is no point to dwelling upon 1t. Mr.. Wallace,
for his own part, can hardly be expected to
engage In such speculation. It is enough that he
has publicly admitted having made some erievcus
errors-a highly creditable type Of confession
that can be good for the soul and instructive to
those who still have muddled notions about the
Kremlin.

Home Teaching

I was happy to read the letters from
Franklin Miles and F. H. H. concerning

Macarthur as the only man worthy to be

financial quagmire, re-establiSh It on
solid ground, and regain its prestige
both at home and abroad. Certainly he
seems to be the only man in the world
today who can command Stains fear
and respect.
When the Republican convention
blindly passed by this outstandingly
qualified leader-presumably on the
stupid pretext Of age alone-and de-
veloped into locked battle between two
determined candidates, each supported
by forces Of questionable nature and OBJ
jectives. we knew that we-and our
country-were being cheated, which,
ever was nominated. However, we could
only accept like" at his face value and

Of both country and taxpayers.
Now when one of your columnists
bases the support of herself and her
select coterie for Mr.. Stevenson on his

Any intelligent person appreciates the

sometimes even illiterates-can select

Asia's mainland 60 Communist, the
French fought communism in Indo-
China since 1916, to the tune of more
than billion dollars q year of their
money, and with loss of 1000 of their
dead: and how many Americans know
that 1ndo-China Is more than three
times as big as North and South Korea
Jumped together?
The argument that Indo- China Is
French" and, therefore. the French
should struggle for it alone, is as idiotic
as saying, ''The struggle between COM
munism and democracy is personal af-
fair between Harry s. Truman and Jo-
seph v. Stalin." The Associated States
of Indo-C China have their own govern
ments and diplomats abroad, and French
Union forces there have status COM
parable to that Of the American NATO
forces stationed in France and Britain.
And lastly, fighting communism Is every
body's business and not merely that Of
any one free nation-aS American legiS-
latorS are quick to point out when it
comes to Korea.
Therefore, Mr.. Browns argument that
France did less with her share In United
States aid than did Turkey. hardly holds
any water. The Turks were not occupied
for four long years by the Nazis and
ravaged both by them and by Allied
bombing, did not have 21a million people
in prison, slave labor or concentration
camps, and did not lose 100000 dead.
Most Of the industry and public utilities
had to be rebuilt from scratch before
the French defense effort could be
stepped up.
So, why not be fair once in a while
and quit making partisan political capi-
tai out Of as serious q matter as Western
defense?

Most Wonderful Thing
By Bruce Borton

are four requisites to start their develop
ment: U) Water, ca salt, (3) oxygen,
and (4) a tiny bit Of living organic mat
ter.
1.-THE mother in the sea needs to
supply only the organic part; the sea
gives water, salt and oxygen. FRESH
water mothers had to solve the prob
lem Of adding the salt. But the land
living egg-layer met and conquered
a far tougher challenge; she wraps the
salt. water and tiny particle of life in
a covering so perfect that it will admit
oxygen while keeping the water from
evaporating.
Consider the hen: To this miraculous
package-consisting Of a homogeneous
white and homogeneous yellow, and,
of in one corner, bit Of living matter
so tiny that only microscope can iden-
tify it--She provides exactly the right
degree Of warmth. And presently the
homogeneous white and yellow turn into
the most Heterogeneous materials
imaginable-eyes, beak, legs, heart,
feathers and even brain.
Suppose some one should come into
this laboratory tomorrow and dump on
the floor some logs. iron, copper ore
and few other raw materials. And
suppose. after three weeks of room tenn

into an automobile. What q world
shaking sensation that would be-! But
to approximate the miracle OF the egg,
the automobile must not only make

produce itself.

process Of cell differentiation some

Sometimes" the doctor concluded, "the
cells do not differentiate correctly but
grow any old which-way. This is
cancer"
For more than two hours we moved
through that wonder house of super
human tools and machines and selfless
seekers after truth. It was medical
science in all its glory. facing mans
most diabolical enemy.
A long, often disheartening battle still
must be fought. but steadily the lines Of
knowledge are drawn tighter and some
grand day the doctors win conquer this
enemy Is they have 50 many others.
But one miracle they win not per-
