Where do the Russians stand

peoples compare them?
"The success of the Russian
policy toward minority peoples
has made the Soviet Union as
a whole not only a standard but
the standard of progress from
the Ussuri and Amur Rivers to
the Pamirs. The fact that prog
ress is not merely conferred or
bestowed on minority peoples
but offered to them in such a
way that they participate in 1t
and feel that they have made
it their own sets up the Soviet
standard, in the eyes of those
who take part in it, as one not
only of chronological progress
but of democratic progress.
Most Western writer's have
demurred against admitting this.
because neither Soviet principles
nor Soviet policies are democratic
according to accepted standards
of America or Britain. To argue
this is quite pointless. The peo-
pies of Mongolia and Central
Asia are not in the least inter-
ested in whether the Soviet Union
is democratic or not by Anglo
American standards"

In a book review published in

There is increasing evidence
that the Chinese Communists are
not only fully aware of this in
herent political energy. but are
convinced that it seeks an out
let in democratic activity, and
that they are accommodating
themselves to this existing and
strong demand instead of trying
to force on the people theories,
ideas and forms of organization
which they do not want. If, this
is true the future holds a bright
hope, not just for the Chinese
Communists, but for the whole
Chinese people"

cussing how two Central Asia
native states" asked to become
part of the Soviet Union, wrote: !:
"They were influenced in their
decision by the Soviet power of
attraction for the majority of
the people. Survival at that
time was uncertain for small,
independent nations lying in
Asia within reach of the con-
f1ict going on in the 1920s be-
tween imperialism and national
istic revolution.
Saw Peasants Reassured.
"The Soviet land policy at
tracted the peasant majority
and undermined the traditional
authority of the landlord. At
the same time the Soviet ma
tionality policy was reassuring.
1t gave to minority peoples both
freedom to be different from the
Russians in such things as
language and cultural habits,
and freedom to be like the Rus
slams, and equal to them in such
things as military and adminis-
trative service and industrial and
technical development.
THE propaganda of what the
Russians were actually doing in
their own territory had far
more powerful effect of attrac-
ton than any propaganda
theories.
People who could not have
been attracted by the abstract
and invisible Marx were at
tracted by the concrete and
visible MarXistS. It was typ
ical of Stain even at this early
date, that he relied on perform
ance within Soviet territory, not
on propaganda abroad"

In his book, 1.-The Making of
Modern China" Q944, Mr.. Lat
timore wrote. on Page 1877:
The truth can be checked by
looking at the history of the
young American Nation and the
young Soviet nation. American
democracy grew rapidly out of
the American Revolution, pro-
tected by distance from the Old
World and the old political
forms of Europe and favored by
the opportunity of a rich new
continent easy to develop.
THE young Soviet nation had
to struggle for survival within
a ring of countries hostile to
it's political and economic prin-
ciples. There has always been,
in Soviet life, a strong sense of
common interests and. of the
duty and responsibility of all
the people to take part in the
building of the commonwealth.
This feeling is generically demo-
cratic it is time for the
rest of us to admit something
which is as important for us as
it is for the Russians: that many
of the harsh and cruel aspects
of the Soviet order are in fact
scars inflicted on it in it's youth
by the intolerance and active

baltimore Counsel 1
Studies Indictment
To Plan Attack

Counsel for Owen baltimore.
former State Department con-
sultant, today were studying a
second perjury indictment re-
turned against him yesterday,
with a view toward moving for
its dismissal.
The new indictment charged
that Mr.. baltimore lied when he
told a Senate Internal Security
subcommittee in 1852 that he
had never been a follower of the
Communist Party line nor a pro-
motor of Communist interests.
The first perjury indictment.
which was returned in 1852, was
weakened by the dismissal of the
key count, which accused Mr..
baltimore of lying when he
denied he was a Communist
"sympathiZer."
Thrown out AS Vague.
Federal Judge Luther w.
Youngdahl, in the u. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia. threw out the count on the
grounds that the word sym
pathizer" was too vague. His
action was upheld by the ap-
pellate court.
After a second count was drop
ped. five counts still remain. But |
they do not link Mr.. baltimore |
directly with communism and |
are considered of lesser i'm
portance.
Mr.. baltimore called the Sec
ond Indictment IAN attempt to
revive the one brought against |
me nearly two years ago which
was thrown out by the courts"
by listing a number of
TOPICS this indictment attempts
to create the impression that I
said a lot of things which I did
not say" the statement asserted.
Sees Political Threat.
But more important than this,
this indictment lays bare the fact |
that this prosecution is a direct |
and immediate threat to any one
and every one who has ever writ
ten or spoken on foreign affairs
and whom the Government
chooses to attack for political
reasons"
Mr.. baltimore said the indict-
ment's definition of follower of
the Communist line includes
any one who expresses any opin-
ion knowing that that opinion
also is shared by Communist
Russia"
Under this indictment, he
went on, "the entire Democratic
and Republican administrations
could be accused of perjury if
they said they had never know
ingly followed the Conrpunist
line-so could Presidents Roose-
welt, Truman and Eisenhower,
all of whom have been accused
of following the Communist
Party line"
Emphasizes Loyalty.
Asserting that inevitably"
this country cannot always take
a stand directly opposite to Rus
sia's. Mr.. baltimore concluded:
The prosecution must know
that, when I said that I have
not followed the Communist line
and that I have not promoted or
with communism,
meant precisely what those
words imply: That I am and
always have been a loyal Amer |
lean; that 1 place the inter-
ests of my own country above
everything else and have always
done so; that 1 have never de-
lent myself to the
promotion or advancement of
communism or Communist in
terests, and that 1 have always
followed the dictates of my own
conscience and not the COM
mands of any alien system" ;

Burma, India Bar US. Planes Airlift To IndOchina

A FRENCH AIR BASE IN IN- DOCHINA, R-Successful com pletion of Operation Bali High the record-breaking American airlift of French paratroopers to embattled Indochina-brought the disclosure that Burma, as well as India, barred the passage of the US. planes over it's territory.
 The troop-ferrying mission, the longest in history, ended Saturday when the last of seven Douglas Globemasters carrying the French fighting men from Paris touched down at this secret base. Officials said the million dollar flight was only part of the troop lift. An un- disclosed number of Globemasters will complete the mission early in May.
 The planes avoided both Burma and India after the governments of those two nations refused tran sit privileges. Indian Prime Min ister Nehru previously announced his government would not permit the passage of troops to Indochina.
 The huge, three-decker Globe masters flew by way of Tunis, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Ceylon and Thailand. After unloading the paratroopers the planes roared off for Clark Field, Manila, en- route back to the United States.

Test of New Polio Vaccine Starts Today

WASHINGTON, R-The test of the new polio vaccine in selected areas across the nation gets under way today.
 Final sanction of the tests was given late yesterday by the Ma tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis after an advisory com mittee of polio experts had recom- mended the go-ahead following a two-day appraisal, primarily for the standpoint of safety.
 The US. Public Health Service also approved the decision, which stipulated certain conditions for the use of the vaccine first devel- oped by Dr. Jotnas E. Salk of the University of Pittsburgh.
 The foundations action released stocks of vaccine which already had been delivered to 20 of the 45 states scheduled to participate. Vaccine for the other states is expected to be delivered in a fairly short time.
 Officials estimated that approx imately 5OO,OOO children in some ITO communities of the 45 states eventually will receive the vac cine, with 100000 others receiv- ing inoculations with an inert substance. These latter children will be among youngsters who will be used as controls" for the test-an evaluation report on which is not expected before late in the fall.

Unemployment. Insurance Claims Drop 65,O0O

WASHINGTON, R-The Labor Department says initial claims for unemployment insurance dropped by 65,10O during the week ended April IT. The total for the week stood at 322,8OO.
 The Departments bureau of employment security attributed the drop in part to a seasonal increase in jobs and partly to the fact that many workers acquired new benefit rights earlier in the month and filed their claims at that time.
 The Department said unem- ployment among insured workers totaled 2,15O,500 for the week ended April 10. This compared with 2,147,2OO in the week pre- vious.

Greatest Peacetime Army Will Be Financed by New Defense Dept. Budget

WASHINGTON, RLThe De fense Department cash budget of 28,68O, ,7O6,50O was recommended Monday by the House Appropria- tions Committee, with $7,615, ,523,- 900 earmarked to finance "the greatest army ever maintained by this nation on full year basis in the absence of actual warfare"
 The total is $1,206, ,348,500 less than President Eisenhower asked for the Army, the Navy and the Air Force and related activities for the fiscal year starting next July 1.
 But the cut imposed by the committee in bill sent to the House for debate starting We'd nesday was actually less than half as large as it appears. Committee cuts were about 541 million dol lars, the balance of the reduction having been volunteered by the armed services or being in the nature of bookkeeping savings.

Stevens Says He Was Not Afraid
 Of Mccarthy But Did Ask That
 Probe of Army Be Called Off

J of the Army Stevens agreed today he once suggested that Sen. Me Carthy lay off his probe for Com munists at Ft. Monmouth, NJ. and let the Army handle it. He denied, however, that he was afraid of the Wisconsin senator.
 Stevens made the statements under hammering cross -examina- ton by special counsel Ray Jenk- ins at the third day of hearings into the row between the Wiscon- sin senator and high Army off cialS.
 A little earlier, the ordinarily quiet spoken secretary testified that McCarthy's publicity tao tics" at Ft. Monmouth had caused "a great deal of transformation and excitement" But Stevens also conceded Mccarthy did "speed up'' some suspensions.
 Jenkins demanded to know whether Stevens had not gone to New York City last November to make peace with Mccarthy" af- ter telling newsmen in Washing ton that there was no "current espionage" at Ft. Monmouth.
 No, sir," Stevens said, laugh ing.
 Jenkins recalled that Stevens had testified that two Mccarthy aides had told him the senator was displeased with Stevens news conference statement.
 Why then, asked Jenkins, "did you go trapsing off to New York to make peace with this man if you were not afraid of him?"
 Stevens said he did not go to New York-this was last Novem- ber-because he was afraid of Mccarthy, but because it was "in line with my policy of cooperating with Congress-
 Jenkins asked him if the secre- tary had not discussed turning the investigation over to the Army.
 Certainly" replied Stevens. q said I didn't like the constant hammering of the Army in the headlines, that's what I objected to-"
 What he told Mccarthy, Stew ems continued, was that the Army wanted to take over the Ft. Mon mouth inquiry, make progress reports" and then if it failed to do the job McCarthy's committee could step back in.

Eisenhower Says Indochina Is the Cork in the Bottle'---Loss Would
 Affect Millions in Southeast Asia

} WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower declared today that this is "a time of great decisions in world affairs, with the outcome of the Indochinese War carrying "the greatest significance for the United States"
 He told the United States Cham Der of Commerce that Indochina is "the cork in the bottle" whose loss would affect the fate of hun dreds of millions in "the sur rounding areas of Asia"
 Eisenhower declared that sur vival of ''the newly formed, Dem ocratic government of Japan" may also hinge on events in Southeast Asia, since the affected area is the one with which Japan must trade.
 Eisenhower voiced hope, how ever, that the conference of world powers which opened today at Geneva would find some peaceful solution of the hazards.
 Secretary of Defense Wilson also referred to events in Europe and Asia, saying that events in those two continents may force a full scale new look at United States military plans, policies and spend ing.
 Addressing the chamber, Wilson reported the first new look, start ed shortly after the Eisenhower Administration took over, has been completed and has led to great and encouraging progress in the military program.
 The secretary said, however, that military programs and fore casts of money required to carry them out are always subject to change. He added:
 'The next few months are ob- viously critical ones in world af- fairs, and what happens in Europe and Asia during this period may force a soul-searching review of our specific policies, plans, objec- tives and expenditures"

Top Diplomats Of l9 Nations Meet in Geneva

GENEVA, R-The top diplo- mats of 19 nations met here today with Asia's future in the balance.
 Prince Narathip Pongpraphan Wan Waithyakon of Thailand called the assembly to order in the somber council chamber of the United Nations headquarters, formerly the League of Nations Building.
 Final peace in Korea and an end to the bloodshed in Indochina were the momentous issues before the conference, but grave and bitter differences were still to be settled in preliminary debate.
 Prince Narathip's selection as chairman for the first day, with Yvacheslav M. Molotov of the Soviet Union and Britain's An thony Eden to follow on success sive days, ended one of the dis agreements. But the explosive is sue of Communist China's place in the proceedings was bypassed for later settlement or by the course of the conference.
 Molotov walked into the cham Der. where the council of the old League of Nations condemned his nation for making war on Fin land, with Deputy Foreign Min ister Andre Gromyko at his side. Molotov's face was expressionless.
 Eden laughed with his compan- in, Lord Reading, undersecretary of state in the British Foreign Office. Eden had been in the chamber many times during the days of the League.
 Red China's Chou En-Lai ar rived Saturday for the conference and said this barley twill provide possibilities for the settlement" of Asian issues.
 The Peiping Premier and for egin minister touched down on soil this side of the Iron Curtain for the first time since the Com munists took power over China's 450 millions five years ago. Wear ing navy blue uniform and over coat, he was greeted at the airport by North Korea's foreign minister Nam Il.
