life story of the pastor of a Pres

out the sordidness and unreieved
bitterness that characterized

With no pretense at literary
style this quiet-spoken Negro min
lister tells his story as If he were
sitting with you Of an evening in
front of the fire. He takes us
back to his childhood in the poor

BONNEVILLE and tells of the poverty
and hunger that he knew among
the Negroes furthest down, of
their silent hatred of the whites
who despised them, of their gangs
and their battles and escapades.
He takes US North with him to
the slums of Cleveland and
Youngstown, which had appeared
at a distance like the promised

British Ally Reveals Cold Heart
She Sends Strategic Goods to Soviet and Hides Behind
Fiction That Russia Is Not an Aggressor Legally
David Lawrence:

Gradually and with un-
ashamed frankness, the Brit
ish are conceding that they
think it is more important
for them to continue their
trade with Communist coun-
tries than to help the United
States put economic pressure
on the Soviet Union even as
the latter supplies to Red
China guns and munitions
with which to kill American
boys in Korea.
But, what is much worse,
the evidence now indicates
that the Department of State
feels helpless to change the
allied point of view. This has
just been uncovered in testi-
mony before congressional
committees. and it points up as
a paramount issue whether the
Eisenhower administration in
tends to use it's diplomatic in
f1uence effectively and whether
Congress will use its appropri-
ations to make sure that an
embargo on all trade with
Communist countries is inau-
gurated.
Great Britain today sends
no strategic materials to Red
China but admits sending
them to the Soviet Union and
hides behind the fiction that
Communist Russia is not
illegally" an aggresSor.

peared in a Washington news

was written presumably by
some one connected with one

embassies. He said:
"The British have to live
with-and, to a certain extent,
by-trade with the Soviet bloc.
They sell rubber to the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics
and the European satellites,
and refuse to sell it to Com
munist China, as part of a
policy which recognizes their
need for grains and timber
from the European Soviet
bloc; which looks to the legal
situation in which Red China
is an 'aggressor' under the
u. N. resolution but the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics
is not; and which strives to
achieve q sensible balance.

the Wet Mimi is not all due to
their fanaticism. The war in
Indo- China started seven years
ago, at a time when Ho Chi
Mini was getting only Mos
cows moral support and a
trickle of weapons smuggled
from the neighboring coun-
tries. The Chinese National
lists were then still in control
of Southern China and, though
the relationship between the
French and the Kuomintang
was not particularly cordial.
only insignificant quantities Of
small arms and ammunition
crossed the Chinese Indo-
China borders. The French
apparently were overconfldent
and did not nip the rebellion
in time. After Mao Tse-tung
gained control over the whole
Chinese mainland. things be-
came easier for Ho. There was
no longer a border between
Wet Mini and Communist
China. Ho suffered a severe
setback once, early in 1850.
But he found shelter and REIN
forcement from his Chinese
Communist friends, and re-
sumed the offensive shortly
thereafter.
Even this advantage, how
ever. was not sufficient to per-
NIT him to wage such a sue
cessful campaign against a
superior French Wet Nam
army equipped with modern
weapons. In 1851, he began to
receive large quantities Of war
materials from the Chinese
arsenals in Mukden and Kirin
as well as from the U.S.S.R.
Because Of the inSistence-at

Regardless of what guam

the French and Wet Nam

They are now confronted with
a large-scale operation in Laos

not enough trained troops
available anywhere in the
free world to meet these skill

A short-sighted colonial pol

even If a substantial quantity

ical climate, have made his

A Republican Mayor at City
Hall would, of course, make it
easier to elect a Republican
Governor in 1854. The COM

the tottering Democrats a body

Old associates say that Gov.
Dewey has not confided in them
his personal 1854 plans. They
agree that the recent decision
of his presumed heir-apparent,
1t. Gov. Moore, to return to
private business makes it ap-

no future at Albany.
Some believe, however, that
Mr.. Dewey will draft Senator
Irving Ives for Governor. Sen.
Ives entered the Senate under
Dewey sponsorship. He is said
to prefer to remain here but
his wife likes Albany.
An informed guess Is that
Mr.. Dewey would prefer to
retire to the role Of Warwick,
operating politically behind the
scene while he recouped in the
private practice Of law the
modest fortunes which left with
public office. He will not so
retire but will run again for

Lodge and His Deputy
Press Campaign 10
Offset Smear Of u. n.
BY the AsSeeieied Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, May
7.-President Eisenhower's top
United Nations representatives
have launched a series Of hard
hitting speeches designed to Off
set what they call a smear cam
paign" against the world organ
ization.
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., laid the
foundation for the series three
weeks ago when he vigorously
supported the United Nations in
a speech before the American
Society Of Newspaper Editors in
washington.
Since then MIR. Lodges chief
deputy. James j. Wadsworth, has
made several speeches sharply
challenging United Nations crit
les.
Concern is Indicated.
Both Mr.. Lodge and MIR. Wads-
worth have a busy schedule in
the next few weeks, beginning
with a speech by Mr.. Lodge to-
night before the Catholic Press
Association in Atlantic City, and
one tomorrow by Mr.. Wadsworth
before the American Veterans
Committee in New York
Mr.. Wadsworth went into the
question at length in speeches at
Minneapolis and Bismarck, N.
Dak., Tuesday and yesterday, in
dicating the concern felt by the
administration
He blamed the attacks on
small, energetic groups. but said
such attacks 'have never been
bolder or attracted more atten-
tion."
Most Of the fears, he declared,
are being stirred by "false in
formation which is widely circu-
lated by groups whose past ex-
perience in racist hate campaigns
has given them great talent in
the technique Of the undocu-
mented smear" He did not
identify these groups.
"Spy Nest" Report Denied.
Both Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Wads-
worth denied in detail some Of
the charges made against the
U. N, including these:
l. That the U. N. is a nest Of
spies.
2. That it serves only as a
propaganda forum for the Rus
slams.
3. That the U. N. trapped the
United States into the Korean
war.

Government is prepared to
turn over to it the immense
power potential of the Snake
River along the Idaho-Oregon
border; that this administra-
ton is abandoning plans Of

troll and irrigation project at

the Interior Mckay had an

Commission for a license to
dam the river at a place called
Oxbow. Former Secretary Oscar
Chapman had intervened to

project, which cannot be car
ried out If the Oxbow install
lation goes through.
Whether the joy of the
Idaho Power Co. was shared by
the people of Idaho is not so
certain. For the Idaho Power
Co. is not. as you might think,

Times has revealed the real

tails Of the improper trade

the whole of that part Of the
world that is under Soviet in
f1uence. without regard to the

character of the goods carried.
It would mean, on the trade
front, a general state of war.
1.-THE idea seems to be gain
ing fresh hold in the United
States that trade with a Com
munist country is in itself
wrong"
To most Americans - and
now President Eisenhower has
agreed-the fighting in Korea
is not a police action but a
war. And when there is a war
going on, Americans have been
taught to believe it is wrong
to trade with the enemy. Dur
ing World War I. before
America entered the conflict.
Great Britain seized American
vessels carrying cargoes to
neutral countries because they
might ultimately get to enemy
countries. In World War II.
the United States and Great
Britain bought up the produc-
ton of neutral countries to
prevent its going to enemy
countries.
The U. N. has adopted a
resolution calling on all men,
bers to refrain from aiding the
aggresSors. This wasn't a hair
splitting resolution which said
there could be exceptions if
some country wanted to make
profits or if some country
wanted to send her strategic
materials to a country. border
ing on Russia. The embargo
resolution was clear cut, and
the question now is how DO
the British and other nations
justify the use of shipping
to permit trade directly "
indirectly with the enemy?
On top of all this. Premier
Nehru of India has announced
that India does not and will
not accept the U. N. embargo
on strategic materials. How
can the other U. N. members
now allow India to remain a
member Of that organization?
This is another question which
deserves a realistic answer.
