PEOPLE ARE BEING CONDITIONED FOR INTERVENING in
MEANINGLESS WAR, SAYS NOTED AUTHOR

uine volunteers fighting against the
French rather than for the Commu-
nists) were totally defeated, there
would be no victory. The French
would still be forced to maintain
heavy and expensive military opera
tions, simply to maintain order.
The French will certainly not do
this as Indochina has long since be-
come an economic loss to the French
empire. Are we then supposed to
provide conscripted American boys
to carry on war that cannot be
won and later to occupy an area with
peoples who hate us?
In intervening in Indochina, we
have created already vast suspicious
pies. To them we appear merely in
the light of aggressors, meddling in
an area we have no business in sup
port of a disintegrating colonial en-
pire which can no longer be held to-
gether and which is, with other dis
migrating empires, universally hated
in Asia.
We, who are supposedly the friends
of freedom and independence among
nations and of self determination
and democracy, are actually support
ing by force the occupation of coun-
tries and people who wish their free
dom.
OUR BAD REPUTATION
In the meanwhile we are earning
the reputation of a nation which
makes war after war in remote parts
of the world, intervening everywhere.
And our intervention, especially in
Indochina, merely prevents the world
from settling down to find some
means for nations to exist side by
side and trade and find economic
peace and prosperity.
There are perhaps other motives.
Although the brass of the armed
forces have been forced to pay lip
service at least to President Eisen-
hower's "new look" with its pros
poets of peace, of balanced budgets
and lowered taxes and greater eff
ficiency in defense, probably the ma
jority of the brass is against a pro-
gram which will reduce their powers,
their expenditures and their domina-
ton in our government
Some of them have already been
caught at propagandizing and intrig-
uing against the new program. And
it should not be forgotten that the
arbitrary CONSUMPTION of American
I'll
comes to an end automatically in
1855. Wars and threats of wars are
the meat upon which CONSUMPTION
means more vast expenditures, more
officers, more prestige, more power
for the armed forces.
Meanwhile, Congress has never
even been consulted in this senseless
program of intervention in Indochina.
1t is not impossible that any morning
we may wake up to find we are again
involved in a tragic. nightmare mess,
such as Korea, on a larger and more
hopeless scale.
Never in all our history was there
a policy so manifestly reckless, pol
icy which could touch off quickly
third world war. We are attempting to
force colonial domination upon peo
pies who are fighting for their free
dom and attempting to force the con-
tinuation of the very same war upon
France, a nation which merely wants
to settle up and get out. If this is
not aggression of an advanced sort,
I do not know what is.

By LOUIS BROMFIELD, in
Tacoma News-Tribune, April IL

Tacoma NeWS-Ir1bune, April IL
There is every evidence that GER
tain forces in our government are
easing US into another war without
constitutional sanction and this time
even without the hypocritical pre-
tense that it is not ourselves but the
United Nations which is making war.
Day by day the people are being
conditioned" and "indoctrinated" to
accept what would be perhaps the
most meaningless war in history and
one of the most disastrous-a war in
which we have much less chance of
winning than we had even in Korea.
There is every evidence that the "edg-
ing into" war is being Unanswered
by the brass of the armed forces. Ad-
miral Radford, the Chief of Staff,
himself talks one way and acts an
other.
Every day we become more and
more closely involved in Indochina.
More planes are sent and more sup
plies. We have already in Indochina
some 700 technical experts" and
have assigned an American general
to help train troops, both French and
Indochinese, who have no heart for
the conflict and actually do not want
to fight. Meanwhile, American tax
payers are putting up 80 per cent of
the cost of this fighting-a total
of nearly 81 billion.
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
1t is not impossible that any day
with change of government in Par
is, and especially if Mendes-France
becomes premier, the French may
pull out altogether and leave us hold
ing the bag. 1t is probable that never
in history was there a situation in
which our intervention was less justi-
fled and one which can do us so much
harm, not only in deaths and vast
expenditures of taxpayers money,
but in earning the i'll will of practical
ly everybody in the world.
No sensible person can possibly
regard the existing situation without
a sense of wonder as to why we are
mixed up in the affair and why we
should want to continue.
In the first place, the bulk of
the Indochinese hate the French more
than they hate the Chinese. They are
seeking complete independence with
out even any ties to the French in
the sense of loose confederation.
This is true not only of those Indo-
who have joined up with the
so-called Chinese Communist forces
but of the majority of the Indochi-
nese who still remain within the bor-
ders of French-controlled Indochina.
In South Korea at least the larger
element was definitely willing to
fight to the death against Chinese
Communist pressure. No such thing
IS true in Indochina. The Indochinese
do not want the French in their coun-
try and they do not want us there.
NO VICTORY POSSIBLE

Prayer Room
For Capitol

WASHINGTON - NC) - Cul-
minating years of effort, legislation
has been approved by Congress to
provide a room in the Capitol for
use of the nations legislators for
prayer and meditation.
Approval came when the Senate
passed a House concurrent resolu-
ton which authorized the architect
OF the Capitol to set aside room
off the rotunda for the use of the
lawmakers. The resolution also pro-
vides that the room be equipped
with appropriate symbols of re-
ligious unity and freedom of wor-
ship" The room is to be principally
for private prayer, rather than
group ceremonies.
Tried Fer Decade
Efforts to officially provide such
prayer room in the Capitol have
been made in previous sessions of
Congress for more than a decade,
but until now, these efforts failed.
There is an unofficial room now,
which visitors say is more like an
office" The concurrent resolution

Budenz Declares

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-(NC)-Louis f.
Budenz. former managing editor
of the communist Daily Worker
said that if Americans are to meet
the challenge of communism, there
lis an urgency for a campaign of
prayer and penance.
I'VE are in a great moral crisis,
even more than political or eco
nomic crisis" he asserted.
Speaking at the annual Webster
College Sponsors Dinner here, Mr..
Budenz. whose column appears reg
ularly in the Catholic Times, ex-
pressed the deep hope that "the
coming age may be the age of the
Holy Ghost, rather than the age of
atheistic communism
Referring to communism as "a
world outlook, based on dialectical
materialism, a viewpoint determin-
ed to prove God does not exist, !"
Mr.. Budenz stated that the move
ment has fanaticism only equalI-
ed by the Mohammedanism which
threatened Europe centuries ago"

Program.
Nowhere has the Holy Father
been more specific about world or.
ganization than in his talk to mem
bers of the World Movement for
World Federal Government in
April, 1851. He said to those dele
gates:
"Your movement, gentlemen,
dedicates itself to realizing an ef-
fective political organization of the
world. Nothing is more in conform
ity with the traditional doctrine OF
the Church -.
ut is necessary to arrive at such
an organization, if for no other rea-
son than to put an end to the
ornaments race in which peo-
pie have been running and exhaust
ing themselves
The Pope then assured the dele
gates that in advocating a form of
world organization, they were
again in accord with the ChUrch's
principles, assuming that they
meant that the world organization
must not be "enmeshed in a me-
chanical and numerical unitarian
ism"
What the Pope meant here was
what the wise old bishop meant
when he counselled the Mayor
against disturbing ''the folkways of
the people"
The Holy Father explained that
the world organization must take
into account the natural rela-
tons" of human beings.
He denounced the "blind wor-
ship of numerical strength" which
views a human being merely as a
voter. Each of us is other things as
well. We are fathers or mothers,
perhaps; we are workers or artists;
we differ in religious background,
and so on.
AS | understand the Pope, he
wants the world organization, like
the American Constitution, care
fully to preserve individual rights,
while establishing order. He said:
'The future world organization
=. will have an effective authori-
ty only insofar as it will safeguard
and favor everywhere the life that
is proper 10 a healthy human com
munity In which all members
Join together for the good of the
entire humanity"
The Community of Nations, In
other words, must be a cooperative
thing. II must establish law and or
der, stop aggression, end the arma-
ments Irace, and create peace,

edly safe harding sverybody's

Many years ago when / got
my first letter from . reader
telling me that she was bored.
1t seemed to me to be such q
strange, inconceivable state to
be In that ! did research to
find out what emotional habits
and what outlooks lead to
boredom and Illustration.
I have always wanted to do
many things for which I have
not had time. I have always
wanted to play the violin and
learn tap dancing. I wish !
could read and speak French
well. ! want more time to write,
would like to try my hand at
short stories and learn to make
luscious curried dishes.
These and many more in
tereStS have had to be pushed

I think one reason for varied
interests Is q lack of age con-

all silly learning tap dancing

Outdoor Exercise
Look carefully at yourself to
see If you are being sabotaged
with few interests because you
have lived a certain number Of
years.
It is too bad that so many
women drop the habit of OUT
door exercise. There is no more
healthful activity than outdoor
exercise, with the element Of
play added. Nothing can quite
take its place. The emotional
and the physical combine to
give you a big boost. Grown
ups need this as much as chill
dren do, maybe even more.
Games outdoors are relaxing.
Mat exercises are wonderful
for women and will do some
thing for them which games
and sports do not but we need
outdoor play also. Some Of you
may be wondering what kind
of games could I play at my
age?"
OF course all exercise and
games should be suited to your
physical condition. Golf is q
game which gives you outdoor
exercise and play or competi-
ton. The only trouble with
golf is that. many people take
it too seriously and become
tense, irritated and frustrated,
when their game is off. They
are also apt to play too long at
one time. Were it not for this
it would be q fine game for
anyone in normal health at
any age. Don't play anything
that makes you mad rather
than glad and call 1t play. Call
1t work, Of the worst sort.
