CAN AMERICA LIBERATE The WORLD?
Continued from preceding page

mum condition for Our survival.
The communist leaders know
where they stand. They know that
they can win if for the present they
do no more than hold and develop
what they have, and they also
know that they will lose if a full
scale campaign of liberation is
launched against them. Their pres
ent tactic is to divert the outside
world from the policy of liberation
by means of political warfare and
psychological terror, while they
destroy what might be called the
internal premises of liberation. BY
purges, indoctrination of the
young, classification. controlled
starvation, Justification of culture
and history, group shipment to
slave-labor camps and mass inter-
changes of populations. they carry
out systematic genOcide.
Their Goals
lHE aim of their genocide pro-
gram is to wipe out the diverse
nations and ethnic groups, to dis
solve them into the Soviet monolith.
At the same time, the commu-
nists seek to eliminate the basis for
the existence of all other social
groups that might give structure
to a campaign for liberation. The
slave-labor camps become an
essential institution of the
economy. and help to pulverize
the working class. The collective
farms become vast agricultural
factories serviced by cities of pro-
letarianized laborers with no spe-
cial relation to the land. The goal
is a managed totalitarian society
populated by an undifferentiated
Russo-soviet Mass Man. With
that goal achieved or approx
imated, the very meaning of free
dom would have vanished.
This, then, is the measure of our
peril and its urgency. We are lost
if our opponent so much as holds
his own. There remains only a
limited time during which it will
continue to be possible to move
against him. Americans will not
even be granted much longer the
desperate comfort that as a last
resort there are always the bombs
to turn to. If the political offensive
is long delayed, it will be too late
for bombs. The End

Bulgarian or Albanian territory, or
if bombing raids had been carried
beyond the Yalu. Because they do
not understand the nature of COM
munism, Western leaders have
been needlessly cautious.
Granted that contemporary his
tory is too unsettled to permit the
dating of predictions very far into
the future, l believe that Moscow
will not deliberately start "a
general war in the next period.
However that may be, it is still
more important to realize that the
peril to the United States land
to all other independent nations)
does not depend exclusively or
even primarily upon the probabil-
ity and timing of general war.
This peril can be summed up in
a single sentence. If the commu-
nists succeed in onsolidating what
they have already conquered, then
their complete world victory is
certain. The simple, terrible fact is
that if things 60 on as they now
are, if they merely stabilize, then
we have already lost. That is why
the policy of containment, even if
100 per cent successful, is a FORM
ula for Soviet victory.
These statements are so extreme
that before accepting them sober
reader may be inclined to increase
his usual rate of discount. As a
ss-check, ! urge an evening with
an atlas, a world map (preferably a
globe) and a good book on geog-
raphy. In the meaning that leaps
unblinkably to the eye from the
maps surface, we, shall find a con-
vincing proof that the Soviet
Empire, if it is able to consolidate
within its present limits, will be
certain to conquer the earth.
Only Defense
WHAT this means is that liberia
ton is the only defense against a
Soviet world victory. Americans,
Frenchmen, Germans, Indians and
japanese should not imagine that
liberation is charity, a gift for them
to bestow at leisure on captive
Poles, Chinese and Russians. Our
own necks are at stake. At least a
considerable breakup of the Soviet
imperial system, a breakup which
in practice would be equivalent to
the process of liberation, is a mini

Expert Envisions Atom Plane
Able to Fly Around World

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.
Sept. 11.-An atomic-powered
airplane could fly around the
world or stay aloft for many days
without refueling, General
Electric Co. executive said yes
terday.
Clarence H. Linder of New
York, GE engineering vice pres
ident. said the company believed
its efforts to develop for the Air
Force a nuclear power plant for
aircraft would be successful.
Mr.. Linder expressed those
views in an address at a meeting
of the Tinker Administrative
Club at Tinker Air Force Base.
Mr.. Linder said an atomic
powered plane could circle the
globe entirely in darkness, TAX
ing advantage of the lower vul-
nerability of night flying.
He said such a craft could fly
at maximum speed and at any
altitude for all or part of it's
mission and still have enough
fuel to return to it's base-by any
route.
1T would be limited only by
freedom from breakdown and
by the ability of the crew to en-
dure long hours of fight and ex-
posure to nuclear radiation" he
declared.
Mr.. Linder said one pound of
uranium 235 fuel would liberate
energy equivalent to that re-
leased in burning IL million
gallons of gasoline.

all parts of the state. Recording
devices reveal the draw-down by
consumption and also the re-
charge through precipitation and
percolation. Current readings of
some of these wells in different
parts of Ohio reveal the following
local conditions:
In eastern and central Ohio
where most ground water supplies
are developed in sandstone or gra-
vel observation wells show water
levels to be at a three-year low
for this date with deficiencies
ranging from six inches to five
feet.
In northwestern Ohio w here
most ground water supplies are
developed in limestone or dole
mite, current observations show
three-year low for this period
with an average deficiency of
little less than two feet.
In the Miami river valley gravel
aquifer area there is shown
three year low for this period
with some wells showing a 10-foot
deficiency.
In the Columbus and Chilli
cothe areas the water levels today
are from three to five feet lower
than the levels of a year ago.
In summarizing these observa-
tions Mr.. Younguuist warned that
the current condition, while some
what alarming, should not be con
strued to indicate a falling trend
in water levels. It simply means
that there has been insufficient
recharpe this wear which will
probably result in low levels this
summer and fall. However, Mr..
Youngquist explained, this is
temporary situation and next
year it may be Just the reverse.
