James A. Cannon,
'SeIIout' on EDc

It might seem odd to find a connec-
tion between the wars in Indo- China
and the fate Of Edo, but there is
opinion to the effect that practical
demolishment Of EDO would be pay
off to the Soviets. who have long OPP
posed its existence. At the conclusion
of the Geneva Conference there was
speculation as to now Mendes-Fran
obtained from Molotov an Indo- China
settlement which, to some extent. saved
face for France and which was less
severe than could nave been expected
from the Communists. AS representa-
tives of five out of the six member
nations struggled vainly at Brussels
against the intransigence of Mendes-
France, it could be that EDO, q pawn
in the Indo- China truce, had already
been sold down the river.
Should any one in this country get
the feeling that slowly but steadily the
rug is being pulled from under our
foreign policy program because 1t is
depending on weak. vacillating allies,
he most likely would be getting the
correct impression.

Combating Soviet Propaganda

Oleg Anisinov Is q Russian who was
teaching history in Latvia In 1910 when
the Soviet Union took it over and later
served as interpreter with the German
Economic Inspection and saw how the
Nazis lost the Battle Of Russia BY turn
ing millions Of potential allies into inn
placable enemies. In his book. 'sThe
Ultimate Weapon" 1883. which has
a preface by Gen. william j. Dom
ovan. he makes q very important point.
This is that we have made little serious
effort to fathom. let alone capitalize
on, the weakness of Communist des-
potiSm. Among the factors undermining
confidence in the leadership of the
United States is that so far we have
used mo more than per cent OF the
weapons available against the Soviet
Union. We worry too much about the
strength of the enemy without at

The Communists not only offer pro-
gram but also worldwide network Of
organizations Through which to lure
people who refuse to sit and wait. says
Anisimov. Their purpose is to make all
out war unnecessary by isolating the
United States. To this end they study
and exploit our weaknesses fully. They
exaggerate existing and invent fic-
titious weaknesses to hold up to the
world. not without aid from the "co-
losSal innocence" Of some of our public
figures.
In our defensive propaganda we say
"'Taint So" the United States is the
grandest country in the world. We
preach noble sermons pointing out how
others can become like us. Then we
are surprised that this does not cause
the rest of the world to love us. We

Wednesday,

=
The principal trouble with Wednesday
Is that it comes in the middle OF the week,
and the summer Wednesday is the worst.
The desk is piled high with work which
should have been finished Tuesday, having
been well started Monday when one was
fresh from an idling week end. But Tues
day has come and gone, the pile is as high
as ever, and another idling week end seems
far away.
There is panicky feeling about
Wednesday: a feeling that Thursday and
Friday will not provide enough time to
complete the tasks at hand. One feels that
in this disordered world there should be one
desk in one little corner somewhere which
is free of pressing matters at weeks end,
and so there is a nervous reappraiSal OF the
work to be done.
One shuffes hastily through the papers
at the top of the heap, but the mind, In its
Wednesday state, seems unable to winnow
the major jobs from the routine detail. The

Humonizing the KremIin

The Kremlin, the ancient and forbid
ding fortress of Moscow, apparently is to
undergo basic transformation. Although
the late Josef Stain used 1t as his living
and sleeping quarters, as well as the ad-
nlinistrative seat of his grim dictatorship,
Premier Georgi Malenkov and other top
Soviet authorities have decided to move out
of 1t, making their beds elsewhere and de-
creeing that their bureaucracy should
transfer its operations to modern buildings
as soon as they are built.
In agreeing upon this change, the new
leaders of the Russian regime have made
clear that they have done so as matter
of principle" the principle" being that
the Kremlin should be converted into a
kind of vast museum existing for the
pleasure and edif1cation of the people. AS
such, according to present indications, it
will be open to the public for things like
sightseeing, children's festivals and the
dances held annually by the graduating
classes of Moscow's universities. In short,
the place is to be "humanized" in way
that promises to rid it of the rather grue-
some reputation it has acquired over the
centuries-and especially since the Boil
shevik revolution and the rule of Stain
as the worlds foremost center of mystery,
intrigue, conspiracy, tyranny, subversion,
aggression, amorality, godlessness and
brute force and terrorism without pity.
AS far as it goes, this is good news. For
the buildings that make up the Kremlin un-
doubtedly have exercised upon their dwellers
an influence as dark as their history. So
conceivably, in the process of withdrawing
from the place, Mr.. Malenkov and his col
leagues will be "humanized" little bit, too,
leaving behind them some of the furniture
that has made Soviet totalitarianism the
most dreadful thing of its kind in the world.
Unfortunately, however, since environment
does not change the nature Of a doctrinaire
idea, the idea of international communism
is likely to remain as evil and as dangerous
as ever even after 1t moves into the most
modern skyscrapers that Moscow can build.

The Big Parade

Never in the memory of the oldest old
timers-in fact, not since the Union Army's
grand review after the Civil War-has
Washington's parade ground of the Presi-
dents" witnessed such a mammoth, colorful
spectacle as yesterdays American Legion
parade. It not only lived up to predictions
but exceeded them, both as to composition
and length Of the pageant and size of the
throng of spectators Especially note
worthy, too, were the orderliness and gem
eral spirit of camaraderie with which the
big event passed into history
Everybody and everything seemed to
get into the proper holiday mood-even the
weather-aS the marching or riding
thousands wended their way along Penn
sylvania and Constitution avenues, to the
rhythm of hundreds of bands and bugle
corps. The grinlmer aspect of active troops
and rumbling tanks in the early phases of
the procession gave way, toward the end,
to the frolicSome floats and antics of the
Forty and Eight, born of the travail of
World War I.
Helping to make the occasion pleas
antly memorable were number of factors:
An efficient but tolerant police force, care
fully instructed for its job by Chief Murray;
a well-organized advance committee Of the
Legion, experienced in staging such
marches; a cooperative Federal Govern
ment, which let it's employees out for the
afternoon and thereby alleviated the public
transportation Snarl, and a generally hos
pitable and appreciative audience. It all
added up to a big day for the city and its
guests. The Legion will not complete its
convention program until tomorrow, but
everything that happens from now on
surely will be anticlimactic. sti.a

sion fund broke out anew today
as j. Norman Lewis. the play
ers' lawyer, indicated the play
ers will ask that two-thirds Of
the World Series radio and tele-
vision moneys be allocated to
the fund when the current con-
tract expires in 1856.

come up with a pension of $500

Lewis had sharp comment to
make on Commissioner Ford
Frlck's recent report on the pen

was made public by Prick last
