Stain May Be Right, After All
Conflicts Among Western Free Nations Would Hint
Thot They Cont Cooperate With One Another

Joseph Stain prophesied
last October that the western
free nations Che used the
words "imperialist powers")
would bring about their own
destruction by conflicts among
themselves. This was not the
result of any occult gift he
may claim to have. His pre-
diction was based on a careful
analysis from his information
services throughout the world.
We in this country have
brought the question of Com
muniSt infltration-part of
which is used by Moscow for
obtaining reliable inside in
formation"-to the attention
of the public through con-
gressional investigations. But
Western European govern
ments are still shy about re-
vealing the activities of the
Moscow informers or getting
rid Of them.
The Soviet foreign office,
apart from the military intel
ligence services and the MVD,
has first-class informerS from
the ranks of nationals of
every Western country. A di-
gest Of these reports reaches
the top man in the Kremlin.
In this manner Stain is able
to analyze the situation in the
West and reach the exagger-
ated but nonetheless correct
deduction that the Western
powers will not succeed, in
time of peace, in cooper
ating conStructively with one
another.
The recent announcement
from London that the British
government was opposed to
denunciation by the United

sY The A.seele,.d Pres.


NAPLES. Italy, Feb. 14.-Italy
has ordered the expulsion of q
Protestant. American evangelist
and his wife.
At least i've other American
evangelists and social workers
have appeals from expulsion or
ders pending. or are living
In this predominantly Roman
Catholic nation on three-month
extension permits.
The Rev. Anthony Caliandro,
50, Italian-born director Of the
Evangelical Biblical Institute.
announced Wednesday that he
and his wife were ordered to
leave Italy within 48 hours on
January II, but that. he had ap-
pealed to Premier Alcide De
GaSperi.
Mayor Hands Him Order.
Yesterday Mayor Massimo
Caprara Of Naples personally
handed the evangelist a notice
that the Premier had refused to
intervene.
Guglielmo Ceraso, chief Of the
foreign section at police head
quarters, said there could be no
further appeal and that If he
refused to leave, the ministry Of
interior would decide on the
next action police would take.
Mr.. Caliandro said: II win
let the police know Of my fur
ther movements, but ] will do
nothing at all about leaving. !
consider Mr.. De GaSperi'S re-
fusal to give his reasons for or
dering my expulsion at least dis
courteous"
The notice handed him said
merely that Mr.. De Gasperi "has
not entertained" the evangelist's
appeal.
II have no idea why they
want to expel U.S." the evangelist
said. 1--WE are assisting people.
We are doing much good"
Cites Pressure on Government.
He added, however, that the
government was trying to drive
several other Protestant evan
gelists out of the country because
there was "a lot Of pressure on
the government about these
things, and we know where it
comes from, even though we do
not feel free to say"
One of the mainstays of Pre-
mier De Gasperi's political sup
port in Italy is Catholic Action,
a lay organization.
Mr.. Caliandro and his wife,
the former 5Ernestine Fitz-
maurice of Philadelphia, have
been here five years. His insti-
tute at Portici, just outside Ma
pies. is financed by several
American Protestant churches
and is -denominational.

became an American citizen,

British desire to needle the

ern allies have not been accus-
toned in the past.
The Kremlin is said to have
an excellent pipeline IN the
French Foreign Ofice. It is
for this reason, apparently,
that the Muscovites were not
particularly worried over the
Pinay-Pleven plan to create q

army.
Stain knew that there would
be interminable delays in rati-
fication of the treaty and the
EDO would remain merely a
blueprint. He knew that sooner
or later q new American Gov
ernment, different from that
which had been in Office during
and since the war. would press
our allies to live up to their
commitments or lose at least.
a portion of American support.
And he counted on that day to
mark the beginning Of mis-
understandings between the
STRONGLY individlalistic free
nations.
There is no question that
the French attitude toward the
EDO, the uncertain German
position toward close co-opera-
ton with her Western neigh
bors, the British attitude in the
Far East and the dozens Of
other smaller frictions,' mis-
understandings and rivalrieS,
in the Western camp are all
highly unpleasant and irksome.
But there still is a fundamen-
tai link between all these
nations which have fought
together in two wars against
