BOOK REVIEW
1.-THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF The KOREAN WAR"

A few evenings ago | heard Edw
R. Murrow say on the radio that JUS
a handful of men controlled the in
formation given out by television anC
radio. He said this is a frightening
responsibility. He might have added
| that this handful of men are just the
"hired men" of a few very wealthy
broadcasting companies, operated for
profit, and that these companies are
controlled by still fewer vast finan-
cial Institutions. This is certainly a
frightening implication as to the dis
semination of news in this country.
The press, we know, is just as COM
pletely owned. We have an excel
lent illustration of this fact right here
in Montana in regard to what is said
in our press about the Silicosis petit
ton.
Stone had real job to get this
book published. All the American
publishers turned it down because the
material was too hot to publish. The
British publishers turned him down
because they were afraid it might of
fend America and they would not be
able to get the money they wanted.
Stone finally arranged with little
magazine, the MONTHLY REVIEW,
to undertake the job of publication.
They advertised for pre-publication
orders for the book and sold severala
thousand copies in advance of pub
LEGATION and thus were able to finance
the job.
Again, l want to urge that this
book be read. 1t is to be hoped that
our educational institutions place
copies in their libraries. Only by
such Independent Investigations as
Stone has made can we check up on
the truth of our official statements.

Recalls Fraser's Repeated
Opposition To Taft-Hartley

When not one but half a dozen ask
you how willard Frazer, candidate for
Representative to Congress, stands on
the Hartley act L wonder whether
or not they ever listen to the radio or
read the daily papers Fraser for four
years has stated repeatedly Il believe
that the Hartley Act should be
repealed and a law enacted that will
be fair to the Businessman as we'll as
the Laboring man, a law that will pro-
vide real collective bargaining as we
all know that Business and Labor are
partners" What more can any man do
than make an open statement like Fras-
er has done. We know that Representa-
tive D'Ewart and Senator Ecton both

BOOK REVIEW
By JOHN McGUFFEY, Roman


I have Just finished reading l. F
Stones new book "The Hidden Hist.
DRY of the Korean War;. 1t is q
startling book. Mr. Stone has the rep
utation of being a careful, reliable
reporter. He was a Washington cor
respondent for THE NATION during
the war years. In this book he chal-
lenges the official and prevailing in
terpretaton of the causes and events
of the Korean war.
Stone piles up an abundance of evil
dence to show that it was the So. Kor-
cans who started the Korean war. He
points out the fact that Syngman
Rhee, president of So. Korea, and
Chang Kai-Shek, president of the
Chinese Nationalists, had to have
war in order to stay in power and
continue to draw American dollars.
In America, depression threatened,
and our politicians, the businessmen
and the military chiefs needed a war
to stimulate military expenditures
and rearmament. He shows how the
war has been continued to accom-
plish these results.
His evidence shows that the Chi
nese did not enter the war until it
became necessary to protect the dams
and electrical installations along the
Yalu river. The electrical installa-
tons are located on the Korean side
of the river. These power plants
were built by the japanese when
they were in control and are used and
owned jointly by the two countries.
Chinese industry is dependent upon
these power plants. The Chinese par
in the conflict has been pri-
marily to protect their own property
interests.
Stone shows that all the talk of the |
Chinese hordes pouring into Korea
vas ruse employed by Macarthur to
INVOLVE us in a war with China. These
lordes never existed.
He points out that a certain num-
'er of military and State depart
nent officials, including Macarthur
nd John Foster Dulles, have, all
long, been determined to involve US
n war with China. He piles up
ot of evidence to show that all peace
ventures have been rebuffed, because
ur economy cannot afford peace.
ur politicians are afraid that if
eace were accomplished, the Ameri- ;
IN people would never consent to
ay for our vast rearmament pro- {

The Third World War Has
Been Going On
BY LOWNDES MAURY, Butte
(Conclusion)

| The Communist countries, almost half
| the world, want the Korean war to
bring us to complete bankruptcy. The
Truce talks are a terrible joke on us.
We are stalemated in Korea. The World
outside of America knows that. Elk
President Hoover broadcast that to the
world a year ago. So the Chinese just
string us along, now eleven months.
They want us to go broke on it. They
want us to lose so many fine young
men that finally all the women and
humane men here will cry quits. The
swindling Press here quotes our casu-
alties al los, 900. Omar Bradley said last
May they were then 141, 900. The United
Nations three weeks ago said the AL
lied casualties were 10000, mostly
Americans, in Korea. They are doubt
less 80 per cent Americans.
Our foot is in a trap in Korea. The
Third World War is going on right
there. We have lost it. 1t is said that
a wolf, if caught in a spring trap, will
bite his foot off to escape. Our stupid
rulers thought the Japanese were our
friends As soon as we got partly out,
they began numbering Americans. Cor
dell Hull thought they were friends the
night before Pearl Harbor.
Our money is discounted in Canada
The Canadians are about to build the
St. Lawrence Waterway without our
help. The Soviets have 10000 planes
to our 1000. Eisenhower is overrated. |
His work (and our billions) has result
ed in a promise of 80 paper divisions
At Potsdam we promised that Ger |
many should never re-arm. We are try
ing TO re-arm West Germany. France |
consents. Europeans are |
more afraid of American war monger- !
ng than they are of Russia. The Com |
nunist countries actually want peace |
This is not from high moral grounds, |

1t IS tiresome and often fruitless business this
battle of words, even if all the necessary oppor-

direct and effective answer to the various
attacks and their faulty conclusion that Catholics
are something apart in the Community is the long
history of the Church's work in the field of social

the critics point is not well taken.

The American School

Some vexing things occur but none, il would
seem, is more vexing these days of worldwide bat
tie against foes of religion than the position of
those within our own country who would drive God
out of the educational program of the nations chill
dren. When good people everywhere engaged
in q tremendous struggle against anti-God forces it
Is difficult to understand the position of those who
are insstent upon what they are pleased to call
separation of Church and State principle" de-
manding that there be religion in public
schools.
1t might he well to remind these people that
theirs is not the true American position. 1t was not
the intent of the Founding Fathers to keep religion
out of the training of this nations children. Indeed
the public school we know il today not in the
early American scene. Instead all schools of
sectarian origin had religion of the funda
mental parts of their program. II was only later
that the public schools supported by taxes became
a part of America. Nor this undertaken with
any intent of replacing the religious schools it
the purpose of providing for those who did not have
the to pay their way in the privately support
ed schools, The primary purpose was to give edu-
cational advantages TO all Americans not to estab-
lish new program with religion ruled out of it.
The idea to help in great task which the
religious bodies could not do alone. And now we
to face the idea that the government not only
never intended to help any religious body such,
but that 1t may in no way permit religion to be
part of its program. What utter nonsense! The Con-
suon does not say that this aid may not be given.
What ii does do, however is guarantee that no re-
hgon may be privileged above any other

A Good Question

The Supreme Court has taken up the problem
of barring religious education from the public
schools of the nation. Upon the outcome of the
deliberations of this high court will depend some
important questions. One of these was proposed
the other day by DR.. James A. Pike dean of the
Episcopalian Cathedral in New York City.
Said DR. Pike: "If the court gives red light
then citizens who stand in the Judaeo- Christian
tradition must be ready to give radical reconsidera
tion as to whether conscientiously give
moral support to schools from which by judicial fiat
have been excluded all religions except the religion
of humanistc secllarism" good question: indeed;
and serious one.
Exclusion of religion In education would mean
that mans affairs considered all week without
reference to God-and that is precisely what the
secularistic philosophy means to communicate-man
without God" Such is the intent of some educators
In most cases however, 1T is secularism by default
which is no less insdious"
Can we hope to have good citizens If Secularism
is to be the philosophy of its system of education?
There already too many without belief in God
occupying important posts of government What is
to restrain them from evil except the fear of Jail?
Their policy must of necessity be the "as-Iong -asI

ingly through the world. News
papers favoring UNIT, and other
proponents, readily admit that
UNIT is serious step; that it
represents a break with the
American tradition, but they
contend, as the st. Louis Globe
Democrat stated editorially: LAS
long as the Soviet threat of
power aggression remains, and
that may be for a decade or
more, the United States stands
in constant jeopardy of attack
and major war"
Meanwhile, the Un-American
Activities Committee of the u.
S. House of Representatives
brought out further testimony
as to the infiltration of the
American scene by communism,
Witnesses appearing before the
committee in Los Angeles link
ed dozens of doctors, lawyers,
newspapermen, public relations
experts, writer's, actors and di-
rectors in the motion picture in
dustry to communist cells at
work within the body polite.
One witness said he belonged to
a communist cell in Los Angeles
which had some 80 members,
and all of them were lawyers.
Another named members of a
communist medical group which
included not only general prac-
titioners, but also number. of
practicing psychiatrists and at
and at least one official of a
public health agency. Still others
told of communist infiltrating
organizations of newspapermen,
and at least one of them rising

Beware The Communist Line

And then we learn: Louise
Bransten has since moved from
San Francisco to New York City.
Shortly after moving to New
York, she established contact
with Pavel Mikhailov, who at
the time was head of Red Army
Intelligence activity in the New
York area" When Louise Bran
stem was called before the COM
mittee, the inevitable happen
ed. We read: "Bransten, who has
since married Lionel Berman, a
communist party official, ap-
peared before this committee
and refused to answer questions
regarding her associations on the
ground that to do so might tend
to incriminate her"
Also set down in the booklet
is a record of the Soviet secret
police moves in preparing the
assassination of Leon Trotsky, as
we'll as the extensive plot to eff

Frank Jacson, alias Jacques Nor

Who Directs Espionage
This startling story, in which
at least ten American Reds were
involved, has received little at
tention. Among other incidents.
the plot included the transfer of
at least $500 from Helen Levi
Simon (now Mrs. Robert Travis)
to one Enrique Delos Rios. the
Money drop" for the Reds in
Mexico City. Helen Simon was
for number of years assistant
to the foreign editor of The
Daily Worker. In her act, as in

report, Americans are reminded
of the interreldtion betiDeen the

This phenomenon stands out
in the whole extensive story of
Soviet espionage. The commun
list party, it is quite clear, is
the recruiting ground for the
espionage agents.
