Constantine Brown:

There is heavy fighting from
the Suez Canal to the borders
Of Algeria. The British and
French, in an effort to main
tain their authority in Egypt
and Tunisia, are using tanks
and airplanes. The Egyptian
police and Tunisian nationalists
are using against these modern
weapons some machine guns,
rifles, pistols and knives.
Stain and his cohorts in the
Kremlin must be chuckling with
delight at the blunders" of the
British and French governments
which are unwittingly playing
into the hands of the Muscovite
agents. Washington is worried
because the administration feels
duty bound to stand by its Allies
and it is not mere speculation
to say that the time may come
when we may have to intervene
actively to support the foolish
adventures Of Britain and
France. We have important air
bases in Morocco and a nation
alist fiare-up there with greater
violence than in the past might
force us to intervene.
It is probable that the modern
weapons used by the French and
British against the Arabs even
tually will put down the present
outbreaks. at least in Tunisia.
But 1t is considered highly
doubtful that such repression
will bring a final solution. This
is particularly true. since the
Moscow government is ready to
support openly the nationalist
aims of the Arabs.

Church Group Formed
10 Promote Merger
l0f All Derlocracies

A group Of churchmen has
formed q national committee tc
promote a single government fol-
| all the world /democracies.
Co-chairmen of the COMMITTEES
are Leslie Glenn, rector Of St
Johns Episcopal Church, and
Rabbi Jerome M. Pines Of Con-
lgregation Beth El OF Montgomery
County. Md.
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee
who recently announced his candi-
Idacy for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination. warmly welcomed
the new support for merger of the
democracies.
The new group is known as the
Religious Committee for a Fed
leration Of the DemocracieS. The
committee said the Communist
bloc gained strength from it's
single leadership and that the
logical answer is for "all the de-
mocracies Of the world to unite
into a single government"
Policy Statement Issued.
This federal union of democra-
cies will not be an alliance but an
autonomous sovereign with its
own power to conduct foreign re-
lations. to raise and maintain q
defense force, to coin and issue
money, to maintain free trade
within its area and to have other
necessary federal powers" the
committee said in a policy state
ment.
This new government would
be democratically elected by the
hundreds of millions of persons
living within its borders. It woulc
have such overwhelming political
industrial and military power that
lit could not be effectively chal-
lenged by any would-be aggres-
sor. Defense expenditures would
be greatly reduced because there
would be only one defense force
The economic prosperity Of the
democratic world would be In.
creased immeasurably through the
elimination Of all tariffs and other
trade restrictions"
Vice chairmen of the new group
are Rabbi Joseph L. Fink of Buff
|falo, N. Y. and Rev. Donald Hen
ming OF Memphis, Tenn. Secre-
tary is Mrs. Henry Luce III
Idaughter-in-law Of the publisher
of Time and Life Magazines.
Senator Kefauver, in a state
ment issued through the commit
tee, said: @
Those of us In the Congress
who have been striving to show
the urgent need for a federation
of the democracies are mos
heartened to receive the support
of our religious leaders"

Bio Conventions on the Screen
Millions Will See and Hear Better Than Delegates,
But Commercial Sponsorship Raises Questions

Millions who never had ex-
pected to have that exciting
and pleaSurable experience will
attend the two big political con-
ventions this summer, thanks
to the now commonplace mir
acle of television. And they will
see and hear most everything
that happens, or at least every
thing that happens in the open.
They won't be taken into smoke
filled hotel rooms, where the
deals are said to be made, of
course, but neither will the folks
who fill the crowded galleries.
For that matter, neither will
most of the delegates. But they
will have q closeup VieWo of
each speaker and they'll hear
him distinctly, see and hear him
better, in fact, than most of
those in the great auditorium.
They'll have just about all the
conventions have to offer, ex-
cept the smell. In July conven-
ton crowds do produce a Ger
tain fragrance.
And If at any time, for any
purpose, they wish to walk out
on the show for awhile they
won't have to worry about the
fight to get back in or need to
fear that somebody may swipe
their seats while they're gone.
Or, if they don't want to lose
q single minute of the per-
formance they can eat lunch
right where they sit.
These conventions are the
greatest shows on earth and you
mustn't miss them. You won't
need to, assuming you have the
time and a television set. What
television can do with a ma
tional convention was proved in
'48. On occasions the camera
picked up things it wasn't sup
posed to see and which reporters
in their privileged seats couldn't
see with their naked eyes-such,
for instance, as a candidates
perspiring floor manager in an
angry whispered colloquy with
o delegation on the point of
revolt.
That's how it was in '48, and
It could be even better this year

President 'Barkley's genial re-

Lodges irony cut off with,
"Sharpest edge ever honed!"
The sponsors this year will
surely be reasonable and their
news coverage. by professionals,
will surely be fair. But, by
taking over the conventions,
they have raised in a new form
a question more serious than
any suggested above-the old
question Of the relation Of
money to politics. It is possible
to look to the future with a
bit Of foreboding.

Disarmament
Called First
|Peuce Step

Miss Mabel Vernon, director Of
the Peoples Mandate Committee.
yesterday said the group will urge
President Truman to direct that
the disarmament contingent Of
the State Department be expanded
and that one Of the requirements
shall be that those working in
the division believe in dis
|armament." )"
Miss Vernon. who represented
the Peoples Mandate Committee
lat the Paris Assembly of the
United Nations. spoke before mem-
lbers and guests yesterday at Davis
House, 1922 r street NV.
During the past year." she
lsaid, I'VE have observed that only
two or three Junior officers in the
State Department were assigned
to work on a disarmament plan
biased on the principles which
President Truman put before the
10. N. Assembly in 1885,"
She emphasized the need for
a realistic approach to dis
Armament under international
safeguards as the essential first
step toward peace and security.
1.-The appalling cost Of modern
military preparation threatens the
economic ruin of nations still
struggling to recover from the
effects OF the last war;" she con-
tended.
Even the United States cannot
stand for many years the huge
deficits caused by the tremendous
outlays for arms for ourselves and
weaker nations" Miss Vernon
said.
This grim fact compels nations
Ito seek international agreements
flor the reduction of armaments
as they are now doing in the
United Nations and they look to
tthe United States for leadership"
she added.

the cost of the local or regional

Normally it should not be able
to cross into North Africa if the
British and French exercised
the usual surveillance. But it is
not likely that British and
French patrol ships would ac-
tually interfere with ships flying
the Soviet flag lest they provoke
an incident with Russia which
both powers are anxious to
avoid. When the Soviet fishing

The free world faces far more
real dangers today in Asia and
the Middle East than it does. in
Europe. The involvements of
Great Britain and France in
Asia and Africa will by necessity
slow down their military efforts
in Europe and further delay the
strengthening of the NATO
forces. Russia does not appear
interested at this time in coming
to a showdown in Western Eu-
rope because this would mean
actual war with the United
States. But in the Orient, the
Kremlin can continue to drain
the resources of the Allies be-
cause 1t does not appear directly

There is also sufficient evidence
to show that the attitude of the
Iranian government toward
Britain is strongly encouraged
by Moscow. During his stay In
Washington, Prime Minister
Mossadegh came very near to
agreeing to a formula which
would have restored friendly
relations with London. But on
his return to Teheran he .el1-
gagged once more in the sport Of
twisting the lions tail to please
his powerful neighbor, the

In discouraging his anti Com
munist attitude and has not
protested the raids against Com
munist headquarters. That will
come later. after it has sue
ceeded in breaking all ties be-
tween the West and Iran.
The conflicts in Egypt and
TnniSia were not started by the
Kremlin but by a series of blum
ders in which national pride re-
placed common sense. Moscow
merely stepped into the breach
when it realized the fertile field
offered by the bloody outbreaks.
Neither antagonist feels that it
can abandon its position. The
British and French claim that
they are not using force for self
ish reasons but to assure the de-
tense of the West. The Arabs
maintain that they are the
Vests friends but they want to
be masters in their own house.
We are caught between these
forces. So far we have resisted
the requests from London and
Paris that we intervene on the
