Allies Don't Fire on Each Other
History Has Shown That Peaceful Nations Can Be Pushed
Into War When There Is No Other Course Remaining

sure to a limited extent and to
guard the borders of the oc-
cupied zones so that any
enemy" aircraft will receive
the same treatment that has
been meted out to the airmen
of the Western countries.
Britain and the United
States, with the concurrence Of
France and West Germany.
could seal off all contact with
Soviet Russia and its satellites
and could terminate all diplo-
matte relations with the Soviet
Union and its satellites. If this
were done, Soviet agents
throughout the world would
lose their means of being A.
nanced, and hence their in
filtration tactics in the West
ern world would be frustrated.
So far as other retaliatory
measures are concerned, a
naval blockade of all commu-
nication with Soviet Russia
and China in the Far East
would be an effective instru-
ment Of economic pressure.
Forays into Western Germany
by Soviet aircraft also could be
regarded as justifying Ameri-
can aircraft in beginning
forays into Manchuria, where
destruction of the bases would
immeasurably help to win the
Korean war. If wartime agree
mentS as to borders among
allies are being scrapped in
Europe, they need not be rec
ognized by airplanes in Asia,
either. In fact, Soviet planes
have recently flown over Japa-
nese territory.
1t has been said that Is per
cent of the shipments to Red
China are coming by sea and
rs per cent by land over
the trans-Siberian railroad,
though some officials insist the
percentages are the other way
around. In any event, a few
well-placed bombs on the
trans-Siberian railway could
impair considerably any Ship
ments from European Russia
to the Far East.
The argument that this
means "war" in a technical or
official sense is as illogical as

David LoWrence:

The strange fiction that
Soviet Russia and the Western
powers are "at peace with each
other" and that they are still
allied against their old enemy
-Nazi Germany-has been
dramatically upset by the re-
cent attacks on British and
American planes flying over
German territory which is sup
posed to be divided into "oc-
cupied zones" according to a
four-power agreement growing
out of World War II.
If Soviet Russia, Britain
and the United States are still
"allies," then the Communist
airplanes shouldn't be shooting
down British and American
airmen. Allies don't fire on
each others soldiers. If there
is any misunderstanding as to
the exact location of a border
line based on midair calcula-
tions by jets flying 600 miles
or more an hour, this is some
thing for another four power
agreement to smooth out.
Friendly signals to avoid
clashes can be devised. In
nocent airmen who didn't fire
a shot in return should not
have been the victims of the
acts of an "ally."
But if the assumption that
the Soviets and the British
and Americans are allied in
guarding the zones of Ger
many is incorrect, and the
major powers now are "ene-
mics" of one another, then the
chances of an ultimate out
break of World War III have
been advanced by what has
just happened. For if the
Soviet Union is intent on dem
onstrating to her people and
to the peoples of her satellites
that the Western powers are
too weak or too pacif1st-mind-
ed to resist. there may be a
surprise coming to Moscow.
History has shown that peace
loving countries can be pushed
into war when it is apparent
that no other course is left.
Fortunately there is an al
Tentative. It is to exert eco

incidentally, the last minis
ter who spoke up, the Rev. c.
Stanley Lowell of Wesley
Methodist Church here, was
prophetic during his denun-
citation Of the three-ring inves-
tigation, in which he dealt
particularly with Senator Nc
Carthy, who. he said, has
"done pretty well for the Com
munists."
"Next-mark my word-it
will be the churches" he told
his congregation. "They, too,
will be investigated for Reds
by these self-appointed arbi-
ters of true Americanism. And
when the churches are harried
and rendered Intellectual in
their operations, the Commu-
nists will certainly like that"
He preached on Sunday. On
Monday night Representative
Velde suggested his investiga-
ton of the churches.
"The schools and churches"
Mr.. Lowell said, "are more re-
Sponsible and more mature
and more loyal than these
power-drunk people who with
pious protestations of their
own virtue propose to investi-
gate them. If men like these
are going to investigate our
schools and churches then Ger
tainly some responsible in
vestigation should be made of
them. Let's just everybody
start investigating everybody
and be done with it. That's
what a Communist police state
is and that seems to be what
we are heading for"
You do get that feeling
around this city now, but folks
have been encouraged by the
way the preachers are speak
ing out.
Maybe we are seeing the be-
ginning Of q good, old-fash-
ioned peaceful American revo-

the theory that, when Rus
sian airmen attack American
and British airmen. it isn't
supposed to mean "war" in
any official sense, either.
Concerted action, of course,
is essential among the allies.
The Soviet Union has little to
gain by bolstering involun-
tarily the Western alliance,
which up to now has been
f1oundcring III uncertainty.
The defense program of West
ern Europe has been delayed,
but the attacks on allied planes
could be the means of speed
ing up the ratification of the
European Defense Commu-
nifty treaties.
If the Soviet Union doesn't
want large-scale war, it will
recede from its present belli-
cose position. A test can work
both ways.
If the Soviets do not mean
war" what else could they
mean? It is possible that the
latest outcropping Of belliger-
ency is a shrewd tactic to
cause American and British
jets which were destined for
Korea and the Far East to be
held up because European
needs would require a diver
sion to Europe of the limited
number of such aircraft now
available. Once the United Ma
tions offensive in Korea and
the build-up of the Nationalist
air strength on Formosa is ef-
fectively stymied by such a
maneuver, the Soviet Union
might cease its attacks on
American and British airmen
and start another round #
peace" statements. It could
all be a part Of the strategy,
therefore, related to the Far
Eastern war.
But whatever it is, the allies
cannot afford to assume the
episodes are meaningless and
let the Soviets get the impress
sion that they can encroach at
will and commit any acts Of
aggression and that cnly note
writing emotionalism will en-
sue.

could not come this year, be-
cause Of the education inves-
tigation, but would have to
wait.
So it Is we'll to keep an eye
on Chairman Velde, just to be
sure.
The ever-present protection
in our democracy against his
like is the sound sense Of the
American people which always
seems to reassert itself in time.
1t seems to be reaSserting it
self now, not only in the case
Of Mr.. Velde, but also in the
cases of his co-partners, Sena-
tors Joseph r. Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin and
William E. Jenner, Republican,
of Indiana, at the other side
Of the Capitol.
Such self-anointed prose-
cutors, who set themselves up
to judge and fail their fellows,
to fix molds for thinking, to
persecute sadistically, even
tually reveal themselves for
what they are and our people
then wake up to the absurdity
of the spectacles they stage. as
well as the cruelty and injus-
tice, and say:
"Enough!"
So with Chairman Velde. He
finally gave himself away. For
he revealed very plainly that,
in his proposed church investi-
cation, he was striking back at
the criticism that lately has
been heaped upon him. as it
has upon his two teammates,
by local ministers here in the
National Capital, who very
accurately diagnosed the in
QUESTION complex. After his
suggestion for an investigation
of churches, he said it prob
ably would include individual
members Of the cloth, includ-
ing some who seem to have de-
voted more time to politics
than they have to the minis
try"
Their crime, in short, had
been to devote a few minutes

And Then Received Their Warning From Him

Representative Harold H.

chairman Of the House Un-
American Activities Commit
tee, seems to have performed
a public service, if unwitting-
ly. when he suggested over the
radio that his committee in
vestigate churches for Com
munism.
For he got a quick rebuff
from other committee mem
bers, including both Repub-
licans and Democrats, who
squelched any such notion.
The senior Democratic mem
ber, Representative Francis j.
Walter Of Pennsylvania, was
so aroused that he proposed
that hereafter any subject Of
investigation must be approved
by a majority of the commit
tee. The committee agreed.
That such was not the rule was
a surprising revelation.
Success Of the movement to
curb the chairman's powers
was indicated by the reaction
to his latest maneuver to
switch from the little red
schoolhouse," which is now
under investigation, to the
little red church"

Doris FIeeson:
President Is q Little Too Worv
He's Permitting His Political Dependents to Call the Shots
Though He'd Be Sure Winner in ANY Bout With Them

From the vantage point Of
Capitol Hill, President Eisen-
hover is beginning to look like
a man who doesn't know his
own strength.
This is especially conspicu-
Gus in the field of foreign pol
icy where the President has
never been challenged by
really formidable opposition
but has steadily yielded
ground. 1t had been expected
that he might run athwart the
conservative coalition on do
mestic matters but it was
widely believed that he would
lead strongly in foreign af-
fairs.
The situation seems remark
able to politicians who know
that:
l. Mr.. Eisenhower's notable
electoral victory showed q
broad base Of popular support
ranking with that accorded
the early Franklin Roosevelt
victory. The President also
ran well ahead of nationalist
Republicans, including some
now plaguing his administra-
ton.
2. He has the votes in the
foreign policy committees of
both House and Senate and in
the Congress itself for any,
thing reasonable he wants to
do.
3. Legislators who are buck

ing him have political prob
lens at home which mean
they need the popular Presi-
dent badly. Some important
newspapers are loudly point
ing this out.
The case of Charles E.
Bohlen. the State Department
Russian expert nominated for
Ambassador to Russia, is the
latest instance of senatorial
nonchalance toward an Eisen-
hover request.
Secretary Of State Dulles
asked the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee for quick
action because Stalin's death
and the subsequent changes in
Russia made it desirable for
Mr.. Bohlen to leave for Mos
cow Immediately. The votes
to confirm Mr.. Bohlen are
there.
Senator Homer Ferguson, a
junior member of the commit
tee, decided. however, that he
wanted to hear about Yalta
some more. Mr.. Bohlen was
Mr.. Roosevelt's interpreter at
Yalta and replying earlier to
questions by Mr.. Ferguson, he
had reviewed that story, a
process rather hard on vari-
GUS Ferguson theories regard
ing it.
The significant point is that
a few days before, President
Eisenhower was also invited to
