Persecution OF
Cardinal Hit
By President

WASHINGTON - (NC) -
On the fifth anniversary of the
imprisonment of His Emin-
ence Josef Cardinal MindSzen-
ty, Primate of Hungary, Presi-
dent Eisenhower termed the
action of the communists
against the prelate as "an un-
principled attempt to destroy
spiritual and moral influence
in that country"
The Chief Executives views were
detailed in letter written to Fred
eric L. Vorbeck, executive chair
man of the United Catholic Organi-
zations for the Freeing of the Card
inal. The President wrote:
"The unjust nature Of fhe pre-.
eeedinss against Cardinal Mind.
szenty is, Of course, we'll known
to the American people. They
regarded the attack on him as Q
blow sssinsf religious freedom
in Hungary and an UnprineipIed
attempt TO destroy spiritual and
moral influences in that country.
"The communist assault upon re-
ligious liberty and leadership in
Hungary has failed, however, to
turn the Hungarian people from
their faith in God"
The President said the plight of
the Cardinal and of other church
men who have suffered at the
hands of the communists, has not
been forgotten. The letter con-
tinued:
.'The situation continues deeply
to concern the people of Hungary
and to evoke the sympathy of the
free world. Desite the constraints
of person and silence imposed on
Cardinal Mindszenty and other
church leaders by their persecu-
tors, the spirit of these men has
defied confinement by the totali-
tartan state.
1T has become, indeed, SYM
Dol OF faith and freedom for our
times"

Soviet Tax On
Polish Gifts
Hit By Solons

WASHINGTON-tNC)-Sen
ator Leyerett Saltonstall, of
Massachusetts has proposed a
resolution condemning the ty-
rannical action of the Soviet
regime in Poland for leyying
exorbitant taxes on gift pack
ages from the United States.
Earlier in the week, Senator
Paul Douglas of Illinois asked
President Eisenhower to halt
all imports from communist
Poland to retaliate against the
"prohibitiye taxes
Senator Douglas also asked At

ing it is an agency set up to send
tax-free packages to Poland. The
firm buys the goods in Poland
which enables the Polish govern
ment to get the dollars.
According to Senator Douglas.

this agency are feeding dollars into
controlled organization which
could use those dollars to finance
communist activity and groups in
this country"
Congressman Edmund p. Rad.

said the proposal of Senafor
Douglas for . flsf embargo on
imports from Poland would do
great harm TO innocent people.
Representative Radman quoted
with approval an editorial from
the Washington Daily News which
said:
"The greatest tragedy is that
there is little or nothing we can
do about it. Senator Douglas pro-
posal to boycott Polish goods would
not mean much, because we buy

Foreign Policy Being Changed
New Concept Restricts the Initiatives Russians Once Held
No Longer Will Reds Be Able to Choose Time and Place

In a previous column, apro-
pros the Presidents state-of-
the-Unlon address, we said
that American foreign policy
had not changed insofar as it
reaf11rms the doctrine that it is
our duty to police the world
against armed Communist ex-
panSion.
What has changed is the
concept of how to do it. And
the change does restrict the
initiatives the Soviets held un-
der the Truman regime.
The previous policy was to
meet force with the same type
of force the Soviets and their
allies could muster-in the test
case of Korea, armies against
armies, with the Communists
choosing the battle-ground, and
the allies committing them
selves not to carry the conflict
beyond the limited arena.
That test ended in. a stale
mate, which, considering the
original objectives, amounted
to a limited defeat.
The lesson it taught is that
the West can neither win a
war nor deter aggressors by
putting, or threatening to put,
men into the field. thousands
Of miles from home, to oppose
overwhelming superiority of
numbers in areas where enemy
ranks can be augmented over

land from directly contiguous
allies.
In such warfare, with the
Soviet bloc choosing the place
and willing to sacrifice unlim-
tied manpower, the island
power of the United States has
hardly a chance.
The change relies on Ameri-
can power to retaliate against
aggressors, or those allied with
and fomenting such aggres-
sors, by those means and serv-
ices (air and Navy in which
the United States Is already
superior in striking force and
could. by concentrating its in
dustrial and military energy,
be absolutely superior, as, un-
der the existing alliances, it
never can be in manpower.
It cannot be proved that q
war can be won wholly or
chiefly by power to deliver the
most terrible destruction. But
the American purpose is not
to win a war but to deter
others from starting one. From
that viewpoint the change is
far more logical.
