Economic Conditions Cause
Worlds Unrest

One of the highlights of the in
stitute was a discussion of inter-
national affairs and the labor move
ment by Joe Mire, executive secre-
tary of the Inter- University Labor
Education committee. Mr.. Mire start
ed his discourse with the statement
that we are now engaged in an at
tempt to escape from catastrophe
1t is important for us to take action
lin good time" Former President
Humans decision in 1850 concern
ing Korea was based upon that prin-
ciple. Mr.. Truman later recalled that
at the time of decision his mind had
wandered back to the time of the
Manchurian, the Abyssinian, the Aus
trian and other incidents OF aggres-
sion when the Western Powers re-
fused to act. 1t was the lack of ac-
ton ''in good time" that led to World
War ii. We, therefore, are in Korea
now not to help South Korea but to
prevent aggression.
For the first time in history, Mr..
Mire continued, a real democracy is
a real political question and every
body has hand in determining this
policy. We made great mistake in
1915 and 1916 when we demobilized
prematurely, when people demanded
that their sons and husbands return
Immediately. This incident illustrates
very dramatically that everybody in a
democracy helps to mold foreign pol
icy, and no one needs to be blamed
more than the people themselves.
Wars, communism and other phe-
nomena of unrest thrive on certain
economic conditions. The American
labor movement has always opposed
exploitation, Imperialism and misery,
and since communism has been di-
rected to the laborers of a society
primarily, the American labor move
ment has an important job to per-
form by showing the underprivileged
standard of living. The AFL and the
CIO representatives have written a
very proud chapter in foreign coun-
tries in combating the doctrines of
communism.
A foreign policy made by the peo-
pie is only as good as you and 1, Mr..
Mire concluded. 1t imposes on US the
responsibility of informing ourselves
of the true facts concerning interna-
tional conditions so that we may act
wisely. Mistakes made in foreign pol
icy are far too costly-much more
costly than errors of judgment in
domestic policy.

than two years. prepared to-
night for a flying trip to New
York where she hopes for an
early reunion with her husband,
William Oats.
Mr.. Oats, Associated Press
bureau chief in Prague, was
freed today and brought to West
Germany.
Mrs. Oats was waiting late
today for a phone call from her
husband.
I'm grateful, delighted and
exhausted" said Mrs. Oats
who has been working as an ad-
vertislng copywriter for a de-
partment store here.
She was awakened early this
morning to hear that her hus-
band had been released. She was
up much of the night talking
with newSmen and friends after
receiving word he would be
freed.
She nodded approvingly today
when she read an account of

was in no danger.
IT talked with people in the
Embassy and made an appoint
ment to see them Monday. Just
as I left the Associated Press
Office, six policemen walked up
and said was arrested"
Won't Go Into Details.
Referring to his comment that
psychology was used by his in
terrogatorS, Mr.. Oats said Il
don't want to go into details
about that"
Asked whether any Russians
had taken part in the interroga-
ton, he said II can't tell Rus
sian from a Czech, but I don't
believe there were any Russians" "
would you say news gath
ering activities normal in the
West are a crime in Czechoslo-
vakia?" a reporter asked.
THAT is true" Mr.. Oatis an
swered and added I'D rather not
go into that"
With a grin he told the con-
ference his immediate plans were
to "go home gradually"
Then a reporter asked if he
had been threatened with a long
term in prison, if he did not
confess.
There was no such ultima
tum," he said. II was read the
law on espionage in Czechoslo-
vakia. It provides sentences run
ming from 10 years to hanging"
No Conditions on Release.
A reporter asked him if he had
been warned not to talk after
his release. He haid he had not.
He said he had been released
without any conditions attached.
Then he said he had been
given some hint recently that
he might be released.
"At the beginning of this
month I talked to a doctor and
he said he wanted to help me
with my health" he said. "He
took down a list of things !
wanted to eat. I told him also
I wanted to get into the SUM-
shine"
II got wienerschnitzel and
beer and two hours daily in the
sunshine, when there was SUM-
shine. Treatment was very
good"
He explained that before this
period, his diet had consisted
largely of potatoes and Czech
dumplings with various sauces.
He said he was given meat twice
a week, cake on Sunday and
bread and coffee that was not
real coffee" for breakfast.
He said the Czechs had re-
turned all his belongings. except
material used as evidence at the
trial This last included notes
he had taken and one file Of
Associated Press cables.

time, but in general it was
good"
During most of his conf1ne-
ment, Mr.. Oats had a cellmate
But he received no newspapers
and could hear no radio broad
casts.
Careful of Opinions.
His comment about Stain
came when he was asked if he
noticed any change in the atti-
tude of the Czech Communists
that might be connected with
the death of the Russian leader
last March.
do you agree with the official
attitude of the United States
Government that you were con-
victed for working in Czecho-
slovakia just like any other news
reporter would have done?" one
neWsman asked.
Mr.. Oats looked at the ques-
toner and said emphatically: II
am not going to express an
opinion on that. please"
Another reporter asked Mr..
Oats to "say a few words about
the thousands of Czechs and
Slovaks still in prison for moth
ing more than loyalty to their
old traditions. and about the
recent general amnesty for
Czech prisoners"
I'm sorry for anybody in
prison anywhere" Oats said.
But I can't say anything about
the amnesty because I never
heard Of it."
Calm during a barrage of
questions, he told the group he
was notified by a Czech security
official last midnight that he
was going to be released.
Puzzled Over Release.
This drew the question: "Why
do you think you were re-
leased?"
Frankly, I don't know" he
answered with a puzzled express

sion. II was told that a letter
my wife wrote to the President
of Czechoslovakia had a great
deal to do with it-more than
anything else"
He said he met no Americans
but one West European in prison,
then added cautiously: I'D bet
ter not talk about him because
he is still in prison."
How did you feel when you
crossed the border out of Czecho-
slovakia?"
Il was surprised to see so
many people there" he replied
with a grin.
One reporter asked if he ever
suspected the Czech police had
planted spies as cellmates. Mr..
Oats answered:
Il was always careful"
Had he been i'll during his i'm
prisonment?
Yes. last February, I was ex-
amined by a doctor and they
found I had a mild case OF
tuberculosis. I was put into the
prison hospital and given medi-
cine and they let me lie around
in bed all day. I,got into the SUM-
shine too. In month, the in
fection had disappeared"
Visited Three Times.
He was permitted three visits
by representatives of the United
States Embassy in Prague during
his Imprisonment.
Then a reporter asked him to
comment on Communist press
accounts that he had confessed
at his trial, which ended July 4,
1851.
Il have nothing to say" the
correspondent replied.
"Will you withdraw your con-
fession when YOU get home?"
I'D better wait until I get
home"
One reporter asked him if he
intended to enter the fight
against communism upon his re-
turn home.
Il am not going into politics. I"

and his brief, restrained replies
are certainly in character" she
remarked.
A barrage of telephone calls
and other interrupstions made
it difficult for her to get ready
for her New York trip.
Her first reaction to the news
that her husband was to be
freed was cautious. "One grows
to expect bad news in a situa-
ton like this" she said. And
through the day, as latest de-
velopments were relayed to her,
she said often that she found
the good hard to believe.
This thing has been so fan
tastic from the start" she told
newsmen. Il still can't believe
he's coming home"
Her feeling was one of graf
