That Stitch In Time

An old proverb, almost for
gotten in this age of expediency
and self-indulgence, gives us the
clue to how we should conduct
ourselves in personal and ma
tional life if we would preserve
that which the past has given us
and leave decent heritage to
the generations which follow us:
to say nothing of our best inter
ests in the days that are still
ours.
A stitch in time saves nine,
epitomizeS in a single phrase the
wisdom of centuries in planning
courses of action and preparing
against situations before they
develop. Great leaders of all
time could have saved their
people untold agony and suffer-
ing, even degradation and death,
had they seen in time what
would be the consequences of
their actions in conducting the
affairs of state.
1t is likely that all of those
leaders sought what they
thought was best, including even
their personal ends. Their fail
ure to avoid the terrible results
that grew out of their actions
was not deliberate, but more
likely the result of blindness.
The truth was hidden from them
by personal prejudices, longing
for fame, power and wealth
which they permitted to stand
in the way of clear-sighted vision
of the future.
1t now appears that Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, having built
up his ego in the sustained fight
he made against the disease
which crippled him in the prime
of life, came to look on himself
rs endowed with higher wisdom
than possessed by ordinary NOR
tails. He believed in his lunches,
his ability to get other people
to do just what he wanted, he
apparently yearned to 60 down
in history as the greatest man of
his time, first president of the
world And in his utter confid-
ence he fell easy victim to the
willy Joseph Stain.
Men like Alger Hiss, Harry
Hopkins and others who fed the
Master Man the adulation he
needed and loved, helped condi-
ton RooSeveltS mind for the
greatest surrender of our time
A vision of the immediate ac-
complishment, the glory of his
achievement, blinded him to the
terrible results that were to fol
low the infamous bargain al
Yalta. He undoubtedly meant
we'll and perhaps even believed
that he was doing a great ser
vice to mankind when he turned
concession after concession over
to Stain, yet he dropped the
stitch that unravelled the skeir
of disaster to follow.
A careful pause and sober re.
ticcnce at Yalta might have pre-
vented the Korean travesty thai
cost thousands of our boys then
lives in futile sacrifice.
Those who took over the di
rection of affairs in Japan after
the departure of General Mac
Arthur had to obey orders, but
the men who gave those orders
from the Department Of State
should have been capable OF
anticipating the tactics of Com
munism in Japan as those tactics
had already proved so successful
in other areas.
When the stitch in time could
have saved the nine, We ignor-
ed the signs of danger in Japan.

This Week
in
Washington

1t is very seldom that this
column dwells more than one
week upon a given topic. How
ever, because of the Importance
of the subject, this and next
weeks column will be devoted
to number Of aspects of the
White Case. The case is of i'm
portance because it has caused
to be brought charges of a very
serious nature against a former
President of the United States.
Harry Dexter White was an
economist, a graduate of Har-
ward, and was employed in the
government from 1884 until
April of 1947 in various capa-
cities. The White House announc-
ed his resignation in l947 be-
cause Of i'll health.
1t was not until fourteen
months later, July 81, 1948, that
Elizabeth T. Bentley, an admit
ted former Soviet agent, told the
House Un-American Activities
Committee that White had been
a member of the Communist
underground" and had relayed
information to Russian Spies.
Whitaker Chambers also told
the committee that if White
were not a Communist party
member lit was a mistake on
both sides"
However, White himself den
led that he had ever aided Com
munist spies. In his own words,
he said: The principles by
which l live make it impossible
for me to do a disloyal act to the
United States" Three days after
he appeared before the commit.
tee. White died of heart attack
at his farm.
Whites name cropped up now
and then in testimony by recant-
ed Communists. 1t is important
to remember, however, that dur
ing this time no documentary
evidence to support the charges
that he was a Communist and {
Communist spy was ever pro
duced.
Then recently Attorney Gen
eral Herbert Brownell said in {
speech which he had approved
by President Eisenhower before
he made it:
Harry Dexter White was Z
Russian spy. He smuggled secret
documents to Russian agents fol-
transmission to Moscow. The F
b. |. became aware of Whites
espionage activities at an early
point in his government career
and from the beginning made re.
ports on these activities to the
appropriate officials in authority
| can now announce officially
for the first time in public, that
the records in my department
show that Whites spying activi-
ties for the Soviet Government
were reported in detail by the
F. B. l. to the White House by
means of a report delivered tc
President Truman through his
military aide, Brig. Gen. Harry
Vaughn, in December of 1945.
Mr.. BroWnell went on to say
that incredible though it may
SEEM" Mr.. Truman a month
later nominated White for a post
in the Monetary Fund.
Mr.. BroWnelPs charges arc
based, as he said, on F. B. |. files.

Q: Has it been actually proven
that the unfortunate choice
of a name is likely to handi-

Il: Yes. At Harvard University,
for example, study was made of
1920 students. 1t was found that
the percentage of "f1unk-outs" and
cases of psychoneurosis we're far
greater among those with singular
or peculiar sounding names.
This does not mean, as the

that possessing an odd name is

o: Are there other cOnSider0-

A: Yes. Care should be taken that
your offspring is not given a set of

point out a fact which may never

five separate and distinct ways of

can use this name in the following
different ways:

The studies also showed that the

Reading his work now as a
whole, it is easy to understand
why these musical pieces are SO
symbolic of Mr.. Aiken's poetry.
They pose the question he is ask
ing throughout all his verse: What
is the relation of man to his uni
verse, how can he identify him
self with his spiritual and ma
terial worlds? In musical ca
dences in ''oratory of lightning
and of gravel" we hear man
musing upon his plight. 1t is
Everyman's. He strikes the chord.
But-there is no harmony of
answer.
