SEATTLE, July IA Seattle

Mr.. Kahn told reporters this
after the arraignment in Federal
Court of Harry Jarvinen, Seattle

of furnishing false information
to the Central Intelligence Agency

innocent to both charges.

in service to the Mediterranean
area.
The old Maritime Commission
agreed several years ago to let
American Export have the ships
for $12 million each. with the
Government paying the rest of the
cost. But the board, replacing
the commission in a reorganiza-
ton. recently boosted the COM
pany's share of the cost by SIS
million for each ship.
The boost was ordered after a
House Merchant Marine subcom-
mittee and Controller General
Lindsay Warren. head Of the Cen
Ieral Accounting Office, protested
that the subsidy promised by the
old commission was far too gen.

The board said American Ex-

NATO Shifts Stand on Far East
Ministers Of Is Nations Recognize Koreo's ImPortono
In Fight with Reds and Approve Arms Showdown

Two dramatic decisions were
made at the recent meeting of
the foreign ministers of the
NATO countries in Paris.
Representatives of the 16 ma
tions decided CD to include
Asia as one of the areas of
struggle against Communist
penetrations, and (2) to for
mally put the seal of approval
on the factual "go-slow" re-
armament program of Western
Europe.
Since the United States is the
military and economic main
stay of the NATO, these deci-
sions mean that we shall hence
forth divide our efforts equally
between Europe and Asia.
Our Western European allies
have become accustomed in the
last year to the belief that
Fastening military prepared
ness in their areas is as futile
as it is dangerous. They are
now willing to agree that Asia
has become, insofar as global
defense is concerned, as impor-
tant as Europe.
A substantial number of
thinking Americans have felt
strongly in the past about the
Importance of Asia. But their
arguments were brushed aside
by the official policy makers in
Washington as impractical. The
contention of these officials was
that Asia was not a military
but an economic problem which
could be dealt with through the
point-four program.
The French are genuinely
concerned over Indo-China,
which is the cause of their pres
ent economic and military pre-
dicament. The demand of some
French political factions that
France write off Indo-China
and withdraw from that former
colony had to be abandoned
when it became obvious thpt
the loss Of Indo-China would
imperil Immediately the re-
mainder of Frances colonial
empire and particularly the
rich and profitable protectorates
OF Morocco and Tunisia.
Astute politicians such as
Premier Pinay and Foreign
Minister Schuman adopted the
mailed-fist attitude during the
recent outbreaks in the African
protectorates despite the advice
OF moderation from Washing
ton. But they also know that
unless France holds her own in
Indo-China, regardless of cost,
the strong arm policy eventually
will lead to naught in North
Africa.
Withdrawal from Indo- China
would be a disastrous defeat
and would greatly help Mos
cows agents to place the whole
Of North Africa in the Com
muniSt column.
So long as the NATO con-
Germs itself exclusively with
Europe, there is no hope for
France to defeat the Wet Mini
forces who are strongly sup
ported by the Chinese and Rus
sian Reds. So long as the war
in Indo-C China remains a "co-
lonial" war and the war in
Korea remains police action"
merely to contain" the Reds,
the purposes for which the
NATO was organized remain
more theological than practical.

origin of the assumptions behind

We never can have a func-

share the assumptions on which
such law can be based. Chris
tians share similar assumptions
with believing Jews, Moslems,

cultures, but they cannot create
a common code with atheistic
pragmatism (the forerunner of
communism). because it pro-
vides no substance for one, re-

Therefore, Communist socie-

In Drive Against Further Federal DEVELOPMENT

The public power project with

Congress. It will figure largely
in a general drive against fur
ther Federal development of the

because Of it's name, however,

u. S. Society Becoming Pagan
Churches Justified in Warning That Complete Secuorsm
In Nations Schools Carries Insidious Donoer

Recently, the Roman Catholic
hierarchy and the Federal
Council Of Churches, in which
are affiliated 80 Protestant and
Eastern Orthodox bodies, have
issued messages containing crit
icism of our present moral con-
dition and warning against
secular trends. Each also ad-
dresses itself to American edu-
cation.
The Protestant message re-
defines the separation of church
and state: Not to allow control
of government by a particular
religious organization, or any
church to be given preferential
status, or church schools to re-
ceive public support.
But both documents reject the
Interpretation Of separation of
state and education from all
religious influences as urged by
certain minorities. The Protes-
tant message calls for mobili-
zation of "every legitimate
means to prevent (this country

term. one which "by re-
jecting the reality and author
