Russionism the Enemy

W ttWS&bNk 49, s-ss~sthY
How long viii it take Americans to
realize that we are not fighting conn
munism but Russianism? Russia Is no
more communicate than America: it
is q capitalism Of caviar-eating gang
sters and vodka guzzlers.
From the heart Of what now Is RUS
STA originated the barbaric forces which
drove the most fatal dagger into civili-
zation and set the worlds progress back
two thousand years. History still weeps
when It tells OF their barbaric raids on
Roman civilization and most historians
contend that theirs was the most tell
ing and cruel external force that swept
away the great civilization.
Must we continue to hide from the
facts? Today's American Communist is
q traitor, q servant Of Russianism. His
party should be outlawed just as was
the German Bund Of World War II.
Poor disillusioned fools who call themt
selves American Communists should do
some rethinking. for they are serving
barbaric force destined to destroy
even the theology they claim to serve.
So, too, Senator Mccarthy would be
better on II he would fight Russianism
more intensely. This is far more q bio
logical war of great racial forces than
it is an theological war; it's barbaric
Russians we are lighting

This Power Is Needed

There is need for speed II Congress is
to complete action at this session on the
pending insanitary dwellings bill, just re-
ported favorably by the House District
Committee. The House is due to consider
the measure next Monday. II the House
bill Is passed-and the prospects appear
bright-the Senate could expedite the
legislation by accepting the House version
Of the original bill submitted by the
Commissioners.
The House committee rewrote the law
covering condemnation of insanitary dwell
ings in Washington, providing detailed APP
pellate procedures for property owners
whose houses were condemned. The pro-
posed addition to the law would give the
Commissioners the authority they need to
compel compliance with inspection orders.
Under the present law the District may
close an insanitary dwelling, but it lacks the
power to raze 1t or to force the owner to re-
pair or raze it. AS result there are bar
ricaded houses which are menace to the
community but which cannot be removed.
The new law would permit the District to
tear down a condemned structure and
assess the charge against the property
owner. Congress ought to make sure that
this additional authority is given to the
Commissioners before the present session
ends

Editorials on Crime

AS q native Washing onian, ! wish
to express my appreciation concerning
your editorials on the crime situation
in Washington Your newspaper Is the
only organization that know Of that
has at heart the interest Of the law
abiding citizen.
Conditions here are appalling. shock
ing and steadily worsening. The plain
truth is that washington is no longer
a safe place to live. Those who remain
do so at their peril.
A determined and successful battle
is being waged to protect and free the
criminal, and all efforts to safeguard
the public are lstrenuously opposed.
Unless the tide Is turned. the only
recourse open to the decent citizen Is to
move. Sheriff. Parker.

Comic Strip Criticism

show what the building really looks
like and to prevent repetition Of the

I also know that some artistic license
is granted to the artist and creator Of
the strip. The real Pentagon has five
stories, the one shown in the strip has
only three; the real Pentagon is COM
posed of I'VE inner rings. the one shown
in the strip appears as solid building.
But artistic license does not entitle

Al common fallacy Is that to like
birds one must dislike cats.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth.
In fact, spleen against cats Is .
pretty sure indication that ones love
for birds is spurious.
The true bird lover Is q, true nature
Z lover. which simply means that he ac-,
cepts things as they are In the natural
world.
Not that one would not like changes
made. In more perfect world; put
this world being as it is, lover q
nature cannot make 1t over.
He accepts facts. and facts, for him,
are those things that exist.
his formula is simple:
Birds exist.
Cats exist.
Therefore. each has right to exist.
"A sudden flash Of rage, when cat
takes bird, does not alter these facts.

for So many centuries that u makes

Defeating Majority Rule

Your lead editorial Of Thursday, July
is, entitled Tenth District Primary"
was read with interest, and noted that
in the Democratic primary Of two years
ago about 81, 900 votes were cast, while
in the primary OF Tuesday. July Is last,
approximately a third as many ex-
ercised their precious franchise.
Primary winner John C. Webb sug-
geSted that Federal employees were
afraid to enter the Democratic pri-
mary in Republican administration.
It there was fearful reason for
staying away from the polls, + believe
that it. would be found based upon
pure imagination, and such q psychosis
reflects diScredit on those who could
have voted but stayed away.
A lasting harm Is done to the well
fare Of this Nation when the citizen
who is privileged to vote Is derelict In
doing 50. sThe effect Of single dere-
LECTION Is Of no great moment. and it.
may not be felt Immediately, but 1t is
q mathematical proposition that the
multiplication Of neglect bears on the
rest Of us and robs our form Of govern
nent Of the rule by majority. There
cannot be majority rule when there
are less ballots cast than there are
eligible voters.
The test of a good citizen should be
measured not in the exercise of his
rights, but by the voluntary assumption
of bis obligations.
There is nothing more important in
the realm of editorial writing than
to establish in the public mind that
no citizen is good citizen who fails
to vote. An honest ballot. intelligently
cast. epitomizes mans struggle for

ried full stories of the campaign and
the results. The father of the little
boy was very much interested In the
election campaign He was following
the press reports very closely. and was
dead sure that Eisenhower would win.
just then he had taken his wife to q
nursing home for her confinement. The
evening papers in Madras City carried
news Of the success Of Eisenhower. The
father read the news, and was very
pleased over the result. Later when he
went to the nursing home. he was told
that his wife had given birth to q son.
His Joy knew no bounds. He said. Call
him Eisenhower. And from that day
the boy has been known as Eisenhower.

Free Market in Money

One Of the free worlds most difncult
problems-tl1e exchange Of currencies-is
being studied in 14-nation conference ~
London. Twelve European countries, plus
the United States and Canada, are joining
in review which many Of them hope Will
lead eventually to free convertibility ana
the relaxing Of trade barriers that stem
directly from exchange restrictions The
London conference is preliminary to an IN
ternational Monetary Fund meeting on the
same subject.in Washington in September
It was before World War II that busi-
nessmen were last permitted to swap their
currencies freely-to shop in effect, in any
country with whatever kind of money they
possessed. For more than Is years now
Jungle Of restrictions has controlled the
international movement of money, forcing
commerce In many cases into channels u
would not take otherwise. The economic
recovery Of so much of Western Europe has
created pressure for a removal or relaxation,
even il slowly, OF these restrictions. Britain
and West Germany, whose currencies have
hardened most in relation to the United
States and Canadian dollar, currently are
taking the lead In pressing for easing the
controls, but there are otherssuch as
France and Italy-tl1at are still fearful OF
a run on their gold and dollar reserves 4
they agree to free convertibility.
In the long run, the United States prob
ably would benefit most by relaxation Of
currency restrictions. Today, for example,
American business interests in many courl-
tries are prevented from turning their full
profits into dollars and bringing them back
to this country. Likewise, other foreigners
selling in. the sterling area-again for ex-
ample are prevented from exchanging
their pounds into dollars IN order to buy ii
the United States.
In its report on foreign economic pol
ICY, the Randall Commission recommended
to the President and to Congress steps ia
voring gradual but positive progress toward
converti6ility." It recognized, however. that
vital economic interests Of many countries
are involved. These countries are being
represented in London now BY their top
finance ministers and the first steps may be
taken on this long road.

Anniversary on the Nile

It will be two years ago tomorrow that
a small group of young Egyptian army ofii-
GERS directed a swift and nearly bloodless
coup d'etat against the Egyptian govern
ment. Three days later, King Farouk abdl-
Gated and left the country. The military
1unta, which came to be known as the Rev
olutionary Council, had taken over the
country. It still holds unquestioned control
today.
In some respects progress Of this revo-
luton has been slow and unspectacular-
but 1t has been steady and there us an APP
pearance Of stability today to the young
government The dissolution of Parliament
and the old political parties, corrupted
through long years of special privilege. was
one of the first steps toward cleaning

land utilization and in national economic
policies were initiated In early 1858, re-
public was proclaimed formally and new
constitution is being written. Pending the
establishment Of popular voting system.

appointed and will convene tomorrow for
the first time It's membership was selected
on q proportional basis from agriculture,
labor. professional occupations, business
and religion. In this degree, at least, II
represents the country at large.
The more dramatic problems facing the
revolutionary government have been exter-
nal ones-disputes with Britain over the
future Of the Sudan and over the Suez
Canal zone, the continuing tension With
Israel, the role which Egypt might play as
leader of the Arab world and the position OF
that Arab bloc In the East-West conflict.
Agreement has been reached on the Sudan
issue process Of self determination which
began with election last December OF
legislative assembly and limited self-gov-@
eminent under that body.
There are indications now that the
Suez dispute is close to an agreement As
before, Britain has agreed in principle TO
evacuation of her $4,000 troops from the
giant base The questions which have been
under negotiation right down to this anni-
versary date have to do with the length OF
time to be allowed for that evacuation, the
status of technicians who are to remain to
keep the installation in fighting readiness
and the conditions under which British
forces will be allowed to return. There IS

Mutter Of Health Security

NuffeT OF 5eoItn SeCuTtty
In politics our American Medical
Association seems to win every legiS-
lative skirmish yet loses every war OF
ideas. It's latest Pyrrhic victory may
cost doctors their last chance to save
themselves. For months our ANA has
used every weapon of expediency to
defeat President Eisenhower's health
hazard reinsurance plan. Its very
m0desty and middle OFF he-road deter
mination to avoid both socialized medi-
cine and reactionary do-nothingism
should have appealed to both liberals
and conservatives. Yet Party Leader
Halleck claims they combined to defeat
it. Since organized medicines convic-
ton as monopoly in restraint of trade
over q decade ago, it has done little
more than veto liberal ideas purpOsed
to provide low cost. prepayable, risk
sharing self -help against the SNOWFALL
ing costs Of health hazards. It origi-
nally condemned Blue Cross non-profit.
limited liability. disqualification insur-
ance as an entering wedge of socialized
medicine. Now President EiSenhower'S
pilot experiment to find solvent ways
and means to extend the low-cost self
help principle to include the aged, poor
risks and catastrophe illness has been
knitted BY those who won power by
his coattails.
Our ANA and its congressional
satellites are going to have hard time
explaining to long suffering taxpayers
why handouts to farmers and vested
interests is democracy and solvent self
help for those overwhelmed by the
insolvency Of major illness is socialism.
Neither the ANA nor contumacious Con-
gressmen are representing their con-
stituents. Surely it will not profit
doctors to force patients to look to the
politician for their low-cost health
security. And neither will it profit the
politician to legislate health security
without equity for the doctor. It is
q bipartisan job that is an honorable
challenge for the intelligent self-in-
terest of both.
