Guide to Good NeighborIiness

There has been reason to feel in the past
few years that the makers and administrators
of our foreign policy have been giving insuff-
cient attention to our international relations
in South and Central America. The extent of
our economic and defense efforts in Europe,
plus the demands of prosecuting a war in
Korea and being deeply concerned with other
Far Eastern developments provide obvious and
valid reasons for preoccupation with those
portions of the globe. Still, despite this, the
Western Hemisphere remains an area of prime
Importance to the United States-economically
militarily and culturally.
President Eisenhower took cognizance of
this Importance and its varied ramfications
when he requested his brother, DIR. Milton S.
Eisenhower and small group of Government
officials to make an extensive tour among our
Southern Misunderstanding to them a message
of the United States commitment to the prin-
ciple of hemisphere solidarity and bringing
back some suggestions as to how this mean
ingful unity might be broadened and deep
ened by policies and programs of this
administration.
DR.. Eisenhower has now reported on his
mission There appears throughout his report
an unmistakabe tone of having been deeply
impressed by what he saw and heard, and of
being sincerely hopeful that closer -than-ever
northern and southern halves of the hemi-
sphere. DR.. Eisenhower found South America
as "a continent in transition =. filled with
tremendous vitality and activity :. destined
to be an economically powerful of the
globe" 1t was in the economic field in fact,
that DR.. Eisenhower found the greatest single
opportunity" for improving the relationship
among the American republics-but it was
here, too, that he found some of the most
disturbing misunderstanding. To combat
these misunderstanding he proposed a nine
point program in which government, private
individuals, business firms, educational insti-
tutions and any other qualified agency might
be enlisted in a gigantic and continuing public
relations effort.
At several points in his report DR.. Eisen-
hover emphasized the need for stability and
consistency" in our policies toward the South
American countries, particularly in those per-
tanning to the flow of trade He suggested
public loans from this country for sound eco
nomic development projects, but with the
pointed qualification that the borrowers should
insure that they are good credit risks; the
continuance and expansion of our technical
aid through all existing channels and long
range program of purchasing imperishable raw
materials for our national stockpile
= Some of the proposals advanced by DR..
Eisenhower may lead to legislative recommen-
dations. On the whole, however, his report is
more in the nature of an architects sketch
as distinct from working drawings-of what
may be considered the framework of the Eisen-
hover administrations own policy toward our
good neighbors." If this proves to be the
case-if the philosophy and the counsel con-
tanned in the report are translated into admin
istration conduct toward the countries to the

There Amt No Such Animal

Representative Broyhill has on several
occasions expressed the pious hope that Con-
gress be presented with no dispute as to the
location of a new Potomac River bridge serving
the downtown area of Washington. He would
like to see united front" agreement placed
before Congress. Otherwise, he has intinated,
Congress may not feel disposed to make the
necessary appropriationS-most of which would
come from local revenue. t
The trouble is that the dispute does exist
and it can be reconciled only by hearing in
Congress, preceding the adoption of legislation
authorizing and appropriating for the bridge.
The dispute is between the District Commits
sioners, supported by Federal and District high
way and traffic engineers and advisers, and the
National Capital Planning Commission, sup
ported by the Interior Department, the Roose-
velt Memorial Association and others. Congress,
having assigned powers and authority to these
various agencies, is the only body which can
settle the argument between them in the public
interest. ,te
If Mr.. Broyhill is going to wait for the
dispute to be settled by the diSputants them
selves, he is going to wait a long time indeed.
His constituents, the people who live on the
other side of the river in Virginia, will be the
chief sufferers from delay. If Mr.. Broyhill will
make some studies of the estimates Of future
traffic, and try to visualize how his constituents
are going to get in and out of Washington five
and ten years hence without additional bridge
facilities, he will force decision in Congress
on where to build the bridge. He will cease
to depend on united front" There amt no
such ANIMAL!

Relaxing Atomic Restrictions

It is good to know that fresh interpreta-
ton OF our Atomic Energy Act of 1916 will
permit an early exchange of Anglo Canadian
American information on the effects of nuclear
weapons "on human beings and their environ
ment." The exchange, though it will exclude
restricted data on the weapons themselves
promises to be mutually beneficial in terms of
promoting inter allied advances in both military
and civilian defensive measures. Further than
that, it may pave the way for renewa-at
least on q limited Scale-of the superb and
unprecedented wartime cooperation with
which Britain Canada and the United States
succeeded in arning the free world with the
first A-bombS in history.
There has been no such cooperation since
the enactment of our 1946 law. There has been
merely minor back-and-forth flow of rela-
lively unimportant information, with each of
the three countries keeping it's significant
secrets to itself. The impending new exchange
approved by the Senate House Committee on
the Atom as well as by the Atomic Energy Com
mission and the PreSident-will mark the first
real mutual relaxation of security restrictions
since the dissolution of the wartime partner
ship. But it still will fall far short of the kind
of joint endeavor which distinguished that
partnerships joint endeavor whose reStora-
ton, either in whole or in part, is advocated
ny uIdIly cApGTLS \lIlC1uulIlS ulCIuUC1S VI CA4C
AEC) as having been made necessary by Soviet
progress in the field of A-weapons and the
hydrogen bomb.
Considering that some of the worlds finest
nuclear physicists reside in Canada and Britain,
there can be little doubt that they can help
us as we can help them and that the free world
as whole would be well served if a substantial
measure of the old partnership were revived.
Such a revival would require revision of our
1946 law, and there might be considerable oppo-
sition to it because of a fear that it might play
into the hands of still-undiscovered traitors
and spies like Klaus Fuchs. However, since
adequate safeguards can be written into any
amending legislation, Congress should respond
sympathetically if the administration seeks
authority for a greater degree of three-way
cooperation than exists now After all, too
much restriction in this field can be as bad
In its own way as too little.

On Giving Thonks

AS we approach our traditional ma
tional holiday, Thanksgiving, the
thoughts of most of us should be a
quiet contemplation of what we have
to be thankful for.
We can be thankful that we live in
the, United StateS-in a country
founded on Christian principles and a
belief and trust in Almighty God. We
can be thankful that we are not gov
erned by the goddess theology of COM
munism, and that we have the price
less freedom of worship without fear
of moleStation.
Sometimes we find fault with things
and conditions in this country, and we
know, of course, that we' are not per-
feet, but taking all of these things into
consideration we must conclude that we
live in country which has the best
government in the world. Our daily
prayer should be that God will continue
to bless us in this fashion.
For many Of us, we can be thankful
for the good health which we enjoy
and the supplying of our daily needs
Also for many of us, we can thank
God for clear conscience, a clean
mind, and a genuine concern for the
misfortunes of those less fortunate.
We can thank God for the wonderful
fellowship Of Christian friends. Real
Christian friends are assets which can
not be discounted or deprecated.
We in America are singularly blessed
with material good things. Our Gov
ernment was founded by fearless men
and women who put their trust in
God. They put first things first! May
we never relinquish this good heritage
and may we continue to show our COM
plete confidence and trust in q God
who can do all things well.
1t is up to us!

DEMUND COMEDIES
SCORE HEAVILY

The three side-splitting COM
edies by Harold DeMund were
repeated last Saturday night in
Webster School, Cambridge, in
answer to the popular demand of
those who have heard them.
All the cast seemed to show
improved teamwork, and the
presentation was voted the best
yet. To name the star would be
to name the whole cast: Lenora
Stokes, Rheta Hill, Lawrence
Darden, Leola Simmons, Louise
Kelly, Naomi Harvey and Charlie
Coston. The singing of Fred
Wright, basso, made a decided
hit and Sally Ann Doremus, So
prano, was her usual self sing
ing easily into the hearts of the
audience. Ernest O'Banyoun
furnished sympathetic support on
the piano to both singers.
The producer and author, Har-
old DeMund, was given an 'ova-
ton when he was presented at
the close of the program, and the
crowd promised to come to the
next presentation, which is be-
ing scheduled for Memorial High
School, Roxbury, in the near

WILL ROGERS would have a
priceless picnic commenting upon
some of the current events of the
day. It would be a boon to the
nation if Wills American humor
could be alive to soften the
"scare stories," and expose the
hypocrites, and relax the ten
sions. With due apologies, will
present my humble imitation of
a Will Rogers column as it might
appear today:
SEE by the papers some poll
ticians in Washington are going
to investigate and outlaw sin.
Seems like. the politicians are
now going to become preachers
and run all sinners out of the
church. We always thought the
church was the best place for
sinners. I don't know where the
sinners are going to find a job
unless they run for Congress.
80 -
THE CONGRESS fellas claim
the churches are falling down on
the job and some preachers are
working for the Devil. The
preachers claim the Congress
fellas have been working for Old
Satan a mighty long time. Well,
I don't want to take sides. But
if Congress can investigate the
preachers, I'd hate to have the
preachers investigate Congress-.
Yes Stree!
SEEMS LIKE some Republic
ans saw some Communists and
Democrats among the sinners IN
church. According to Republic-
ans, all Democrats are sinners.
1 suppose there is chance to
reform a Communist but from
what I hear, you just can't change
a Democrat. Those Republicans
ought to know. And nobody
changed politicians like Hitler,
Stain and Benito. Not alive!
@& - -
POLITICIANS go to church. l
guess Bilbo went to church and
81 did left Davis and those fellas
who insist upon keeping Civil
Rights from other humans due to
one reason or another. In some
ways they even tried to run the
church like the Communists IN
Russia. A lot of men have tried
to be church dictators. guess
Hitler wanted to be a Pope.
- - 80
I GUESS it seems all right for
a politician to make trade with
the enemy or trade with Free
Nation" heads like Malan and
others who are today killing
Africans Gin their own country !.
I guess it amt sin to trade with
people who plunder uranium,
diamonds, rubber, ivory and gold
from African natives. That would
only be sin if committed by Rus
slams.
COMMUNISM, after all, is just
.no+ber nolitical sin against the
people. whether here or abroad.
I guess it don't matter what
name they call it, the people
still suffer. No sane American
is going to trade his job or home
in the States for a promise to
die in Siberia. My motto is
Russia for the Russians; America
for Americans - and Milwaukee
for the Braves.
A PREACHER who is working
for the Devil isn't going to get
far with the church people. Be-
sides. the Devil pays more to
politicians who can fool the people
better. posing as "honest and
1oval Constitutional and freedom
defenders" II may be we can
protect the churches from the
Communists. But whose going to
protect us from the politicians?

The JabherWock

o We proper Bostonians,
With accent Oxonian,
'Tis tradition to go
To the Jabberwock show
See an evening of drama,
A vast panorama
OF comedy, high and low
And swingsters whose feet
Are attuned to the beat;
Make a date for the show,
Be in the Jabberwock know
Of rhythms exotic,
Strange and erotic
Of jazz and bebop, fast and slow
And friends everywhere
OF youths will dare
To try to excel
In life's carousel
Thrill with mothers and dads,
When the Jabberwock grads
Get awards, and wish them well.
