Anarnals Freedom Resfs On Faith In God
Catholic University of America

University of America | all men were created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
 As Americans, we should in- deed be grateful to the Almighty that we are not under a totali- t2rian regime that would de- Five Us of the exercise of our .-c.55llral rights. In this respect xa are far more fortunate than 5o cl5izens of many foreign i2rdc. We must never forget tlc5 the foundation for these | rigilts is boIief in God.
 TTlCaEEs TEE PEOPLE OF OUR LAND continue to acknow- 1 ledge and hcncr God, they are l in oang5t of losing their cher ! ;-l.cd rights and their liberty. As 1 William Penn said three cen i turieS ago: "The nation that IS i not governed by God will soon be governed by tyrants."
 The most effective protection 1 of liberty in a nation is provided | by those citizens who firmly be- lieve they have been made to the image and likeness of God and that their final destiny is to live with God for all eternity, If the people of our nation forget that it is from their Creator they derive the sacred rights that are the very foundation of
 American freedom, our country
 will be on the way either to
 slavery or anarchy. But as long
 as the people of the United
 States firmly believe that God is the author of the personal rights which mean so much to us, our liberty is safe.

Boyd Not Guilty 0f Fisherman Chargge 2

Naval Station, Kodiak, wal found not guilty on charges of aggravated assault, grow Ii 2 out of a alleged fight the accused had on July 22ad with
 Edson Fadaoff, a Kodiak fish
 erman.
 The trial was heard before a four man SpecIal Court, Martial Board on the Naval i Station on Tuesday November 23r !. It. Cdr D. B. \ cKillem legal officer of MS Kodiak rep resented the accused and It. M. D. Harris, legal officer of | NS Adak prosecuted the de fendeut.
 Boyd plead not guilty as charged through his attorney McKillem and the first witness to take the stand was Edson Fadaoff the man alleged to have been beaten by Boyd. l Movements of Fadaoff and his wife Mary were traced l through the day of the alleged
 attack and vital testimony
 having a direct bearing on the
 charge was answered with the words T don't remember. 7 These foggy answers had a
 direct bearing on the findings
 of the Board. On cross exami-
 nation by Attorney McKillem, : Fadaoff was asked, Were the
 lights in the cabin off or on ;! during the fght?" A. They were off. 70. Gould you see
 n the darkened cabin?' A. T conld make out object out lines dimly." Q, Actually < you couldn't positively identify e your assaiIant?" A. T could

 s Many controversial state !. ments were introduced into r the record, which caused con ' fiictirg testimony. According
 to Fadaoff, he could have in
 vited Boyd down to the boat, ! he wasn't sure. Mary Fadaoff, definitely stated she did not k invite him down and she was n almost positive her husband e hadn't asked him down tc O have a drink,
 ii The weapon used in the me. e lee was not even accepted as ] an exhibit in the case because
 none of the participants could : positively identify the draw knife that Fadaof presented to the court as being the wea- pon used.

A careful scrutiny Of the
new French proposals for the
European Defense Agreement
which in fact intend to tor
pedo the NATO-will reveal
the master hand of Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov.
The Russians have used all
kinds of subterfuges to prevent
the integration of q German
army into the West European
defense system. Their efforts
have been frustrated princi-
pally by the staunch devotion
of Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer to the Western cause.
Neither cajolings nor threats
have budged him. Most Of the
German people followed so
long as there was q chance
that France would some day
ratify the EDO in its original Z
form suggested by the French
government itself more than
two years ago.
Washington has made in
Vulnerable sacrifices to bring
about a collective security for
Western Europe. Some conces-
sions may cost us dearly in
the future. For instance, we
agreed last January to break
up the Berlin Conference, in
tended to settle German and
Austrian problems. in order to
save the life of the Laniel-
Bidault government. Mr.. Dulles
yielded to the entreaties Of
Bidault and sagreed to go to
Geneva instead to discuss
Korea and Indo- China. The
underlying reason for this con-
cession was that once the In
do-China matter was out of
the way, the Laniel cabinet
would be in a position to sub
NIT the edo treaty to the Ma
tional Assembly. We miscal-
culated. The Reds did not
negotiate. They exacted the
surrender of the West in
Southeast Asia. Mr.. Laniel
could not swallow the pill and
was replaced by Pierre Men
des-France. A fanatical Ger
man-hater, whose principal
concern is France and not the
world, the latter had no qualms
IN surrendering to the Reds.
Mr.. Dulles did not wish this
country to become a party to
such a surrender. He left
Geneva. So did his substitute
for a few days, Undersecretary
Walter Bedell Smith.
A surrender without the
participation of the United
States did not suit the Com
munist plans. Chou En-lai
and Mr.. Molotov insisted that

"armistice" was signed. Mr..
Dulles agreed to return to
Paris for important consulta-
tions'' with Mr.. Mendes-
France.
It is now ascertained that
the French Premier Solemnly
promised our Secretary Of
State that if we were repre-
sented at Geneva by at least
our Undersecretary Of State,
he would bring up the EDO
for ratification by the National
Assembly late in August. He
sold Mr.. Dulles the idea that
his personal success in settling
the Far Eastern war would
give him an enhanced prestige.
This in turn would pave the
way for the ratification Of the
Western European pact.
: Mr.. Dulles yielded once
more. But he did not expect
that the EDO which Mr..
Mendes-France had in mind
would be a complete emas-
culation Of the original treaty.
We do not know yet what
was discussed and agreed on
during the many hours of
talks among the French Prime
Minister, Mr.. Molotov and Mr..
Chou. There are strong and
justifiable suspicious, however,
) that matters other than Indo-
China were brought up at
those secret powwows. From
the look of the EDC modif1ca-
tions proposed by Mr.. Mendes-
France. he appears to have
agreed to launch a well-aimed
torpedo in the defense armor
of the West.
The consensus of all mill
tary men is that there can be
no effective Western European
defense system without full
participation of Germany.
The Mendes-France amend
ments reduce such participa-
ton to a mere token. Chan
cellor Adenauer has been the
standard bearer of Western
European unity. He believes
firmly that the cradle of
Western civilization is doomed
unless the free European ma
tions organize themselves into
a confederation. The present
mild industrial integrations
have to be followed by an in
tegration of the military forces
of these countries before the
plan for a European confed-
Grafton can come to fruition.
Mr.. Adenauer gave his un-
limited support to this plan.
