Unfriqhtened Diplomat

Charles E. Bohlen, newly named AmbaSsa-
dor to Russia, evidently is not one of that
company of career men who are said to have
been demoralized by the prospect, or the alleged
prospect that Senator Mccarthy is going to
take over the State Department For Mr..
Bohlen has emerged from his session with the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee looking
altogether unlike frightened or demoralized
diplomat.
Mr.. Bohlen, according to a summary of
his testimony released by Chairman Wiley,
made no expedient concessions to the commit
tee. He defended the Yalta agreement in its
application to Europe, although this pact has
been preferred Republican target. The
trouble, he Said has not arisen from the terms
of the agreement, but from its violation by
Russia And he pointed out that since Russia
was in de facto control of Poland at the time,
the map of Europe today would not be greatly
different had there been no Yalta agreement
The witness conceded that the concessions
made to Russia in the Ear East at China's
expense, and in China's absence, were based on
faulty estimate of the military situation It
can be seen, with the benefit of hindsight that
it was not necessary to buy Russian participa-
ton in the war against Japan. Some of our
top military men thought at the time, however,
that we would have to invade Japan and that
this would be very costly in American lives.
And China, at later date, agreed to the con-
cesSions which had been made.
Mr.. Bohlen also warmly defended another
favorite Republican target-the Truman-Ache-
son foreign policy. He said that he did not
regard it as negative" policy, and commended
with ample justification that there was nothing
negative in nature about the Greek-Turkish aid
program, the Marshall plan and the North
Atlantic treaty.
Not many people will fully agree with
everything Mr.. Bohlen said. There is much to
support the view, for instance, that the Truman
Acheson policy, though strong in Europe, left
much to be desired in China and Korea But
this is beside the point. The point is that here
is man, closely identified with the foreign
policy of the Truman administration, and up
for confirmation as Ambassador to Moscow, who
is not afraid to 60 before Republican-con-
trolled committee of Republican-controlle
Senate and say exactly what he thinks
If he is confirmed, as he undoubtedly should
and will be, there need be no apprehension that
Mr.. Bohlen will water down and color his
reports from Moscow in an attempt to avoid
future criticism. He has demonstrated before
the committee that he is not that kind of a
man, and, incidentally, he has set worthy
example for those unidentified members of the
career service who, it is said, are in danger of
becoming so intimidated that they will not
dare record their honest judgments of political
trends in foreign lands.

Vishinsky's Latest

The only thing new in Foreign Minister
Vishinsky'S latest speech to the United Nations
Is his defiant acknowledgment of what has long
been obViouS-namely, that the Soviet Union
has been, still is and intends to keep on supply
ing warplanes and other military equipment to
the Chinese Communists for use against our
American and allied U. N. forces in Korea.
Far from being apologize about this Mr..
ViShinsky has admitted it proudly, almost
boastfully. Describing such aid as an alto
gether legitimate and quite natural" thing,
he has made clear that he and his CO.
conspirators in the Kremlin look with contempt
upon the fact that the U. N. has formally
branded Red China as an aggressor and called
upon all member nations to cease and desist
from lending any assistance of any kind to the
Communist armies in Korea.
This is contempt of a sort that merits a
condemnatory response from the General As
sembly: But the passage of resolution along
that line land some such action seems to be
in ORDER can do little or nothing to change
the present situation. For the Vishinsky speech,
If it is to be taken at face value, means that
the Kremlin is determined not to bulge an
inch from the uncompromiSing position it has
taken regarding an armistice-a fact that
bellies Stains Christmas statement declaring
his willingness to cooperate" in any new
EFFORT TO work out Korean settlement.
Actually, although purporting to be an
answer to the 10-point Indictment recently
delivered by Ambassador Lodge, chief of our
u N. mission, the Vishinsky speech adds up to
nothing more than the replaying of a wheezy
old photograph record Black is white
American ruling circles" are guilty of agrees
sion in Korea the Indian truce proposal,
adopted by vote of 81 to (the Communist
bloc alone dissenting), is fraudulent and illegal
.. "imperalStS" in the United States are
preparing to unleash another world war .
there can be an armistice just as soon as the
United Nations sees the light and agrees with
the terms laid down by the "peace-loving"
Soviet Union.
Those terms, of course, are totally unac-
ceptable, and that Is why the U. N. has
overwhelmingly rejected them and adopted the
Indian proposal instead They are unacceptable
primarily for two reasons Cd Because they
demand the forcible repatriation of tens of
thousands of Chinese and North Korean
prisoners desperately afraid of being driven
back to their vengefu Red masters, and (2)
because they call for phony Far Eastern
"peace" commission in which the Communists
could effectively veto just settlement from
now until doomsday.
Nevertheless, through its vitriolic Foreign

Annoyed by Lawrence

For some time I have fought down
the desire to blast the cacophonous
utterances of David Lawrence, but his
latest diatribe against Gen. Bradley
makes it impossible for me to maintain
silence any longer.
Mr.. Lawrence attacks Gen. Bradley
as "the mouthpiece of the Truman
Acheson administration" Why? Be-
cause Gen. Bradley has sensibly advised
us that our most dangerous idea is that
I'VE are already in World War III"
No one can prevent Mr.. Lawrence
from maintaining Cor even writing
about his own SNUG, little beliefs, but
his attempts to prove" them are RI
diculous. He constantly resorts to use
of the non-sequitur and other faulty
types of argument. He begs the ques-
ton. He postulates an argument, gives
copious evidence" to back it up levi
dence which has no relation to the
problem under discussion), and then
arrives at a so-called solution" He
tells us "All bovines have four legs.
Cats have four legs. Cats are bovines."
I, for one, would like to see you give
his place of honor to Doris Fleeson,
who, however much you might disagree
with her, is at least fair.

Hail From the GAR

On February 10. The Star babe an
editorial Farewell to the GAR" based
on an Associated Press dispatch from
Los Angeles announcing the passing
out of existence of the Grand Army of
the Republic" This would have been a
nice editorial if it had been true.
The ceremony in Los Angeles was
simply the closing of the last Grand
Army post in that State, since the last
man in California, William A. Magee,
passed away January %. We are pleased
to state that the organization of the
Grand Army Of the Republic will not be
closed as long as there is q member
alive, and We are very glad to state that
we still have two members, Albert
Woolson. LOG. Sr. Vice Commander in
Chief, Duluth, Mimi, and James A..
Hard III, Jr. Vice Commander in Chief,
of Rochester, N. Y. While the Cali
fornia item states these men were not
members, an error was made in that
statement as they have both been mem
bers since the early days and are both
Past Department Commanders in their
own States.
We will appreciate it if you will insert
good-SiZed heading in your paper to
the effect that the Grand Army of the
Republic is still alive and will be for
some time we hope. When the end does
come. the closing will be made by the
writer with the assistance Of the U. S.
District Court, since the Grand Army
Of the Republic was incorporated under
Federal laws in 1924. No organization
will have anything to do with the clos
ing of the national organization. Ma
tional records will then go to the Lii
brary of Congress and Smithsonian In
stituticn with q fitting ceremony.

Secretary, the National Grand
. Army of the Republic.

Minister the Kremlin continues to insist that
such terms must be accepted If there is to be
an armistice. In other words, 1t continues to-
insist on what it knows to be impossible AN
abject U. N. surrender. Nothing could more
clearly demonstrate the truth of Ambassador
Lodges charge that the Soviet Union, as the
prime mover of the Korean war, does not want
to put an end to that war. The United Nations
must shape its decisions accordingly.

Shocked by Taft

was amazed and deeply shocked to
read in a recent issue of The Star a
report that Senator Taft does not think
that Communists should be prohibited
from teaching in our universities.
You must be slipping, Mr.. Republic
can! Put this matter up to the mothers
and fathers of sons fighting and dying
in Korea and see what answer those
who have the most right to say will
give.
What person is and what he stands
for has much more influence for good
or evil upon those with whom he asso-
ciates than what he says or teaches by
word of mouth. He can be so pleasant,
suave and friendly that many will think
that anything he does must be all right.
Remember how Mr.. Truman was taken
in by Good Old joe?

has voted to buy two new Cadillacs in
addition to those that have been pro-
vided hitherto The two new ones will
go to Representative Halleck, the
majority leader in the House, and
Representative Rayburn, the minority
leader.
In previous years the minority and
majority floor leaders got around as
best they could, but it is obvious that
they were so handicapped that they
were unable to put any economy into
effect. Things ought to be different now
that the taxpayers are providing Cadil-
laos for them.
This should help to keep them from
becoming tired as they dash around to
their various prerogatives in Washing
ton. Over to the Capitol barber, for
example, for free haircuts and shaves,
or to the Capitol restaurant to eat
taxpayer subsidized meal, or out to
Government hospitals for subsidized
disqualification. Fred Knowles.

(the children) that was all they could
spend. The children prospered.
Congressman are just human beings
who would do nothing wrong for them
selves, but only for voters. There is no
limit as to what Congressman will spend
and give away. Why not reduce taxes
at once and let it be known that
spending must be limited to collection?
The irony of all this is that there
may be just as large total to spend with
lower taxes. Ex-Farmer.

Bitter Memory

The new Secretary Of Commerce
recently was quoted in The Star as
saying: "A whole generation has been
taught that knowledge of how to meet
a payroll is sign of low TO-" But
may I suggest that Mr.. Weeks
memory is defective? 1t was not ability
to meet a payroll, but inability to do
so which shattered the American
public's confidence in the business

Fable of the Former

Once there was a farmer whose
children were all leaving home. They
had no bank accounts because he had
always given them what they needed.
Now with tears in his eyes he told them
to decide what they needed while they
were away and he would provide the
funds. He sold grain. cattle, land and
finally his home. You guess the rest
of the story.
The farmers neighbor gave his chill
dren a fixed credit based on their &C
cumulated earnings and informed them

Economy in Comfort


We are glad to see some strides being
made toward economy in the present
session of Congress. We noted the other
day that deficiency appropriation
rushed through provided $29.250 for
229 new high swivel chairs for Congress
men,
The theory of economy behind this
is one that may not be readily apparent
to the taxpayer, but we are confident
that if he will think about it long
enough he will discern how the savings
will be made. Leaning back in the COM
fort and ease that the new chairs will
provide. the Congressman will be more
inspired to think up new slogans for
economy in Government.
Along this line, we were pleased also
to note that this economy" Congress
