The French have an old saying, "a

Usually the gentleman finds out that
it doesn't pay to complain even once.

LincoIn's Name Misused

Probably no figure in American his
tory has been more used by the Com
muniSt Party to advance it's insidiouS
propaganda than has Abraham Lin
coin. It has been repeatedly the prac-
tice Of the Communist Party to use
the name of Lincoln to confuse the
American public. The most notable use
OF Lincoln'S name by the Communists
was in connection with the Soviet at
tempt to establish a Soviet in Spain.
The Communist Abraham Lincoln
Brigade was part of the Soviet plan.
How does the Communist Party's
use Of LincolnS name have anything
to do with Composer Aaron COPELAND
and his Lincoln Portrait? It is, in
deed. significant that The Daily
Worker. official publication Of the Conn
munist Party. on February 81, 194O-
during the Stalin- Hitler pact period
recorded Copland's name in q protest
against the attacks upon the veterans
of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade"
Copland's protest was coincident with
that Of William Gropper, Dashiel Ham
NETT. Paul Robson, and other we'll
known party-linerS.
Further research shows that Com.
poser Copland's name was constantly
identified with Communist Party causes
and fronts" some Of which are now

those associates that there must be 'compe-

LEST any misunderstood, let me add that
loyalty does not, of course, call for any one
to practice intellectual dishonesty or to distort
his reporting to please superiors Our foreign
policies will prevail only If they are based on
honest evaluation of the facts"
All Of which is in keeping with the fine ira
ditions'of our foreign service. Nothing in our
loyalty checking procedures is in conflict with
those traditions. What MIR. Dulles has said
should dispel any fear to the contrary It is

One Phase of a Two-Woy Task

Another severe blow has been administered
to the Red conspiracy in this country with the
conviction in New York of 13 more high-ranking
officials Of the Communist Party It is i'm
portant to remember, however, that this is a
setback for the public wing of the party only.

party is but phase of the dual mission con-
fronting the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The bakers dozen of Communist leaders
awaiting sentence in New York City after a
long trial are second-string Reds who graduated
to top leadership Of the party with the convic-
ton Of the II irst-stringers in 1949 Both
groups were adjudged guilty, under the Smith
Act, Of conspiring to "teach and advocate" the
violent overthrow of the United States Gov
ernment. The law has been used successfully
against similar groups of Red leaders in Mary
land and California In all of these cases it
was brought out in court that the FBI had
planted informants inside the party in many
key posts-a disclosure which has had a
devastating effect on party morale.
In the latest New York trial an important
witness for the Government was a nearby
Virginia housewife, Mrs. Mary Stalcup Mark
ward, who joined the party with the FBI's
blessing and kept the bureau advised OF every
thing that was going on in the Washington
area. She testified in New York that several
Of the defendants came to the Capital to
arrange establishment here Of q Communist
school, ostensibly to teach "the classics" but
actually to spread the Marxist-Ienin doctrine
among youth. The school never materialized.
Such volunteer FBI informants as Mrs Mark
ward have rendered the Nation remarkable
public service.
Apparently the two-way battle against the
Reds in this country will be pressed on both
the above-ground and underground sectors AS
new groups Of Red leaders take Office. they may
expect to find themselves the targets Of new
FBI inquiries. Meanwhile 1t is reassuring to
know that the even tougher job Of roofing out

A BoseIess Fear

AS one of his first official acts, Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles has effectively debated
the idea that the Nations loyalty checking
procedures threaten both the morale and the
reporting objectivity of our foreign service
officers. -
This idea has been put forward with con-
siderable emphasis in connection with the still
undecided case of John Carter Vincent. BY
three-to-two vote, the Loyalty Review Board
has handed down an adverse finding against
him. The finding has stated, among other
things, that his reports from China included
Studied praise Of the Chinese Communists and
equally studied criticism Of the Chang Kai-shek
government"
In recently announcing that the boards
decision would be reStudied by special new
group-a restudy still going on-Mr. Acheson,
then Secretary, obliquely referred to the pos
Sible adverse effects of this critical comment
on Mr.. Vincent. He did so by declaring that
1--WE should not by inadvertence take any step
which might lower the high traditions Of our
foreign service to the level established by gov
ernments which will permit their diplomats to
report only what they want to hear"
Later, expanding on this view, the editors
of the Foreign Service Journal and other unof-
f1cial spokesmen for our career diplomats issued
a statement asserting that the boards criticism
sis causing bewilderment and misgiving in our
ranks" The statement went on to say that
such criticism contained implications tending
to discourage diplomatic of1cers-lest they be
suspected of DISQUALIFICATION writing honest,
objective accounts Of the weaknesses of friendly
governments or the strengths of the Communist
opposition in vital parts of the world.
But this line of argument, regardless of how
the Vincent case is finally decided, has little
real validity or substance. Certainly, there has
been nothing to justify the kind Of fear that
has been expressed. If there are those who still
think otherwise, they would do well to read the
letter that Secretary Dulles has addressed to all
his associates" in the State Department and
the foreign service throughout the world.

colored clergymen who presented their

meeting in New York.
The editorial accused the ministers

to the ministers and the members Of
their congregations who have faith in
the honesty and integrity of their
leaders. There is no question that
