that communism has no

to grasp the true nature Of
communism. One Of the trag-

many Of us today have taken

How many hundreds Of simple

United States, it will not be
by decision Of the President or
the State Department. but by
the American people. The
President was entirely correct
in saying that under the pres
emit situation" 95 per cent of
Americans would stand against
admission. To argue for adj
mission would, therefore, be
political suicide for either
American party. and for any
member Of the Western alli-
ance to push for it would
threaten the assassination of
that alliance. The end would
be a return to American iso-
lationism with or without a
concomitant tendency to ma
tional Imperialism.
The situation is exacerbated
by the establishment of the
United Nations in the United
States, where 1t enjoys certain
extraterritorial rights.

The victory formula Of the

$50 to $50, varying with the

He submitted his proposal as

one-half million workers have

Again, as in the case Of the
Truman proposals a decade
ago, it was the familiar Re-
publican-Souther Democratic
coalition that defeated liber-
allied unemployment benefits.
Against Mr.. Forand'S amend

chiefly from the East and Far
West, and is Republicans, the

Southern Democrats-four of

The argument most used, as
with the Truman proposals,
was State rights. Opponents
of a Federal standard insisted
that the system must be pre-
served as a State system with
States fixing the rates Of ben
eflt and duration.
Unfortunately, economic 're-

But such formal logic has little

its very existence to liberal

American citizenship rests on
acceptance of those principles,
and who know that Marxist
communism is the inveterate
