Importance of iron and steel to the economy, to
read the optimistic estimates of high grade ore
production in friendly neighboring countries
such as Canada and Venezuela. Eventual de-
pletion of our own Mesabi Range has worried
both Government and industry in recent years

Venezuela already are being translated into
actual production. An adequate supply Of the
necessary raw material and the plant capacity

The President. on Prayer

President Eisenhower has spoken with fine
simplicity and eloquence in appealing to "all
men of good will" to join together on Friday
in observing the 1854 World Day of Prayer to
seek "the help of the Almighty to find the way
toward the goal Of peace"
In this age of excessive materialism, when
things of the flesh are exalted too much over
things of the spirit, such an appeal from such
a source may seem to be strange or quantity
od-fashioned to people who feel that anything
smacking of religious idea Is somehow naive
or even laughable. The President, however,
has reminded everybody that throughout the
history of the United States starting with the
Constitutional Convention, "all the men and
women we most revere as inspired leaders con-
stantly sought Divine guidance in the discharge
of their public responsibilities" That is to say,
they had minds deep enough and educated
enough and humble enough to realize, as they
looked at the marvels and mysteries of the
universe around them, that they were finite
beings who had reason to pray to the Infinite
AS the President has indicated in his ap
peal, he firmly believes-and it is an inspiring
belief-that such duplication is at least as
necessary now as it has ever been and that
human beings everywhere will gain in happi
ness the more often they resort to it. AS he
has put it, Prayer seems to bring closer to-
gether in mutual understanding the people
who unite in it's practice" He would agree with
Madame De Staels observation: ITO pray to-
gether, in whatever tongue or ritual, is the most
tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy
that men can contract in this life" And in
line with his own thought, and as far as the
temper of our age is concerned, these lines from
Tennyson's "Morte d'Arthur" seem singularly
apt:
More things are Wrought By prayer
Than this tuorld dreams off, Wherefore, let
thy Uoice
Rise like q fountain for me night and day.
For tphat are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish blind lite within the brain,
II, knoDing God, they lift not hands OF prayer
Both for themselves and those ,Uho call then,
friend?

Nehru Does Less Than Justice

midas Prime Minister Nehru has done
less than justice" (his own Words in his
charges direct and implied, against the United
States and Pakistan. His accusation is, in effect,
that these two countries are potential agrees
sors and conspirators against the peace of
South Asia conclusion that is utterly absurd.
Mr. Nehru's latest outburst was launched
with a short but officially polite rejection of
President Eisenhower's offer of military aid to
India, to match that being proposed for Paki-
stan. The politeneSS was not in evidence, how
ever, when the Prime Minister went before the
New Delhi Parliament. His assertions there
were: That the United States, after offering
military aid to Pakistan, can no longer be
regarded as neutral in the KaShn1ir dispute;
that Assistant Secretary of State Robertson
has revealed an American design to dominate
Asia" for an indefinite period; that Pakistan
Is not threatened by aggression from any quar-
ter and, presumably, must therefore be rearm-
ing against a harmless China and an India
Of peaceful intent" Angrily he demanded
withdrawal of the American members from the
United Nations cease-fire team in Kashmr.
And, patronizingly, he acknowledged that
President Eisenhower may be opposed to ag
erosion but that 1--WE (the IndianS) know that
aggression takes place and nothing is done
about it."
Certainly Mr.. Nehru must know better than
to believe some of his own ridiculous statements.
The American decision to give military aid to
Pakistan was reached after the most careful
consideration here and was based largely upon
the new Turkish akiStani alliance and its ex-
pected Importance to the security of the Middle
East President Eisenhower went to unusual
lengths in his personal letter to Mr.. Nehru:
offering similar aid to India, revealing that he
will recommend continuance of economic and
technical assistance to India and pledging
every effort to see that no aggression results
from our aid to Pakistan Prime Minister
Mohammed Ali of Pakistan has given strong
assurances to Mr. Nehru and the latter has
accepted the motives of Mr.. Ali 1t is indeed
remarkable that Mr.. Nehru, in the face of all
this, persists in questioning the good faith
of the United States and its friends, but is un-
able to see any aggressive character to Com
muniSt behavior in Asia and that he seems not
to have discerned any desire on the part of
Moscow to dominate" that continent.
AS for Kashmir, both India and Pakistan
are agreed in principle on plebiscite by which
that state may determine its own future. The
United States has advocated such course and
is not now seeking through "unneutral" means
to block it.

HIHod Six Apples

Miss Juanita VIM, supervisor of elemen

Communists here and throughout the
world, by some of the top echelons of
our country, it is exceedingly refresh
ing and heartening to know that at
least one person in high position
Senator Mccarthy - has the intelli-
gence and capacity for getting angry
at the pussyfooting around and cod
ding of Communists: also the nerve to
do something about it. 1t is battling to
see the people of our country so rabidly
against Mccarthy for doing a heroic
job to save their necks from the hor-
rors of communism. even at the risk
of his life!
1t is also good to know that two of
your columniSts, David Lawrence and
Gould Lincoln. had the mental acumen
and stamina to make correct ap-
praisal of the situation. in spite of
the bowling mob against Mccarthy.
Mrs. Roosevelt calls Senator Nc
earthly the greatest single detriment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-03
This May Be the Test

When Senator. Mccarthy starts talking
about the "old Acheson regime" in reference to
anything concerning the State Department,
there is fair inference that trouble lies ahead.
In this instance, the Senator's comment
was evoked by the announcement that r. W..
Scott Mcleod has been stripped of the author
ity to hire and fire which he exercised as the
State Department personnel officer. Mr.. Mcleod
remains in charge of security and consular
affairs.
Mr.. Mcleod contends, however, and he has
said that experience tends to prove" that secu-
rity and personnel are "inseparable functions"
lin other words, that security methods cannot
be effective unless the official in charge of secu
rity also has hire-and-fire authority.
There is no reason to believe that this is
correct unless 1t is assumed that no official in
the State Department except Mr.. Mcleod can
be trusted to discipline or dismiss employees who
may be found guilty of, or liable to, security
violations. OF course, neither MIR. Mcleod nor
Senator Mccarthy has made this claim.
What Senator Mccarthy does say is that
the change will make it infinitely harder" for
Mr.. Mcleod to do good job as security officer,
and that he intends to find out why Secretary
Dulles ordered the move And these comments
are put forward against the "old AcheSon re-
CINE" background.
It will be we'll to wait and see what Senator
Mccarthy actually does. If he has the gall,
however, to demand an explanation from Mr..
Dulles it should be made perfectly plain to him
that he is not running the State Department,
and that no explanation is going to be forth
coming. And if he should go so far as to attempt
to call State Department officials before his
subcommittee, the President ought to put his
foot down-and hard. For If Senator Mccarthy
should notwithstanding the attempt-in
browbeating the State Department into re-
storing Mr.. McLeods personnel authority, the
blow to the Presidents prestige will be so dew
astating that he might as well close up shop as
head of the executive branch General Esenl
hover must not permit this to happen.
