seemed to be assumed the
Senate would do it's duty
and do 1t promptly; so the
public generally did not seem
greatly concerned. But rabid
McCarthyites, with the issue
finally drawn, whipped them
selves up into new and fren-
zied efforts and we had some
excitement here with delega-
tions descending upon us with
banners and placards.
They joined tourists who
swarmed to the Capitol for q

had packed galleries at the
Senate for a few days. with
people waiting for hours for
seats.
But this excitement died
down in time. It was evident
there would not be an ilnmedi-
ate decision on censure. and
the show became dull. Then
Senator Mccarthy turned UP
in the hospital with his elbow
complaint and the Senate
went into recess until Novem-

Mischief makers are busy
trying to widen another cleav-
age inside the Republican
Party. Having aggravated the
Mccarthy split, there are
signs of a drive by the same
influences to try to diSplace
Senator Knowland OF Califor-
mia as the Republican leader
Of the Senate and thus COM
pletely ALLEVIATE the Taft wing
of the party.
The "sin" Of the California
Senator seems to be that he
expresses his convictions on
foreign policy and doesn't
conform" His concept of q

doesn't argue that way. In
fact. when the late Senator
Taft. Republican leader Of the
Senate, made q speech on for
eign policy in Cincinnati on
May 26, 1853. the President
two days later gave his own
ideas, but said Mr.. Taft had a
right to express his opinion.
Just two months afterward,
when Senator Taft was dying,
Senator Knowland, was acting
Republican leader and, with
characteristic independence,
he served notice of the concept
that he held so that, if chosen
leader, there would be no ques-
ton about what he believed to
be his role. In a copyrighted
interview published in ~. S.

July "a, 1858. which was en-
titled like Doesn't Want A

nation and destruction Of the
free world-as we understand
it-by nibbling first at the
periphery and later at the
very heart of the nations to
whom they are proposing CO.
existence.
This was well understood by
Gen. Eisenhower and John
Foster Dulles when they cam
paigned In the summer and
fall of 1852. Both these spokes-
men of the Republican Party
publicly rejected the "con-
tainment policy" Of the Tru-
man Acheson administration
and declared that if the Re-
publicans were placed in Office
their policy would be to roll
back the Communists in Eu-
rope as well as in Asia by all
means short of war. This
policy was contained in the
Republican platform. And
while it is understood that
platforms. like promises, are
frequently made to be broken,
there was no reason to believe
this particular item would be
so soon forgotten.
Within a few months after
the Republican administration
took over. the rollback faded
away. The executive branch
soon basked in the glory of
having put an end to the
Korean bloodshed by signing
an armistice which was spec
tacular in itself but achieved
nothing more than the pre-
viouS administration could
have achieved a year earlier.
And in its delight that the
last shooting war was over, it
forgot all about its rollback
pledges.
The Teheran. Yalta and
Potsdam treaties violently de-
nounced in the electoral cam
paign were reconflrmed by
impassivity. The hopes of tens
of millions of enslaved peoples
in Central and Eastern Eu-
rope were smashed once more.
And with this disillusionment,
the tentacles of the Kremlin
gripped them with greater
force.
So long as the Communists
continue to interpret free
elections as one ballot for one
list of hand-picked candidates,
and so long as they interpret
democracy as a class rule
through their own commissars,
co-existence is a trap. In the
Red dictionary it means the
domination of the world by
the men in the Kremlin and at
Peiping, by means which make
a conflict unnecessary.

point. hasn't Senator Taft
done the same thing. as. for

Cincinnati which produced so
much comment about his de-
sire to disentangle US from the
United Nations arrangements
in the Far East?"
THAT is correct" replied
Senator Knowland. "IIe made
it perfectly clear that he was
speaking on his responsibility
as an individual Senator"
It so happens that the CAL
ifornia Senator has a record Of
81 per cent-one Of the high

of Senator Knowland. happen
to comprise the people Of the
second largest State in the
Union. Otherwise, a State
would lose it's spokesman in
the Senate.
Majority leaders have oc-
casionally, when in disagree
ment, given charge of a par
ticular bill on. the floor to a
colleague who favors it. But
the pattern of the past has
been to uphold the idea that
Congress is an independent
and coordinate branch Of the
Government of the United
States and not a subordinate
bureau or agency Of the execu-
tive branch. It seems to be
fashionable nowadays in some
quarters constantly to belittle
or disparage the role Of Con-
gresS. This certainly betrays a
lack of knowledge Of the Con-
stitution of the United States
as laid down by the founding
I, fathers.

Those tempted to smoke the
political marijuana offered in
the last few months by the
insistent advocates Of peace
full co-existence with the Com
munists should read the speech
made by President Roosevelt
on December 49, 1910.
He said in part: "A nation
can have peace with the Nazis
only at the price Of surrender.
Such a peace would be no
peace at all. It would be only
another armistice leading to
the most gigantic armament
race and the most devastating
trade wars in history. All Of us
in all the Americas would be
living at the point of a Naz!
gun--a gun loaded with ex-
plosive bullets, military as well
as economic.
Substitute Russian and
Chinese Communists" for the
word "Nazis" and the speech
of the late President is as true
today as it was IA years ago,
Yet, after nine years of local
wars, bloody subyeSsions, Red
double talk and blatant Red
conspiracies, there is a grow
ing feeling among a number
of our political figures that we
should give a try to the re-
cent Communist bid for
peaceful co-existence."
Western Europe is nibbling
at the bait. This is under
standable. Over many CEN
turies the peoples of Europe
have fought each other inces-
sanity. The conflicts on that
continent were settled either
by bowling to the victor or by
appeasing the stronger neigh
Dor. Appeasement meant at
least temporary acceptance Of
the domination of the bully.
Europe's culture is our own.
But we have endeavored to
divorce ourselves from her
policies of expediency, violence
(when violence paid) and ap-
peasement (when it was neces-
sary).
The present difference be-
tween the American and Eu-
ropean concept Of international
policies is easy to understand.
Each European state is a
homogeneous unit interested
principally in its own welfare.
We are all descendants of the
peoples of these units. Our
ancestors came to the New
World because they could no
longer stand oppression and
misery. They melted into one
nation Of many different races
and creeds.

The Russians clamor against

may ask, has Russia got
against preventive war, in
principle?
The Russian wars against
Poland, Finland. and the Bal
tic States in 1899 were pure
preventive" wars, their can
did justification being the
strengthe ming of Russia's
western frontiers against any
possible attack from the West.
Russia had non-aggression
treaties with all these states.
Although she also had a nom
aggression treaty with Ger
many, she argued that if Hit
Ter took over these states he
would be in an advanced stra-
tegical position to attack the
u. S. S. R. We do not quarrel
here with that argument. But
1t did not justify permanently
annexing all or part of these
and other East European
states, nor does it support the
argument that preventive"
wars are necessarily evil.

Korean peninsula was a "pre-
