The Indo-c Chino Question

The confusion over our foreign policy
and Indo-C China seems to require an
examination of our thinking about world
affairs There seem to be certain mis-
conceptions which stand in the way Of
seeing the world as it is and finding a
solution adequate to serve our needs.
The first misconception is the state
ment Of our intent to avoid World War
III. Actually we are in World War III
and have been for several years. Ger
tainly the Communists know this. In
fact they are fighting World War III
every day of the week and with dis
maying amount of success. We should
recognize this fact. However, if we can
not avoid World War III we can still
have legitimate and sincere desire to
avoid all-out atomic war. The CommieS
have been quite adept at fighting this
war without precipitating about atomic
war. There is no reason to believe that
we cannot do as well.
The second miSconception is our def
milton of war. We seem to think that
when the shooting stops the war stops.
Now the Communists do not fight that
way. They are using four basic tech
niques OF warfare: psychological, politi-
cal, economic and military. They vary
the emphasis on each technique to suit
each occasion. They have been very
careful to avoid the use of military force
except when it appears that it will bring
a good return. To them the end of the
shooting in Korea was not the end Of
war. it was simply the end of one
campaign in continuing war. On the
other hand we seemed to take the end of
the shooting as a signal that we could
turn our attention to business as usual
and politics as usual.
Another misconception is the thought
that series of KoreaS will bleed us
white and bankrupt the Nation. This is
positively silly. At the peak of the re-
arming since June, 1850, our expendi-
lures for national defense were about
Is per cent of our national output. I
pay more than that each year in taxes.
or course high taxes, shortages, and
some imitation are inconvenient and an
noylng. But If we do not fight this war
vigorously we may drift into about
atomic war, and with it national suicide.
Which can we afford?
The same miSconception applies to
the cost in blood. Over a three-year
period Korea cost us $4,000 dead and
100000 casualties. This is tragic: but
1t has been said that all-out atomic war
might cost us 100000 dead. Which
can we afford?
1t appears that only the President
can educate the American people to
these facts so that they may see the
situation with clarity. This must be
done if we are to formulate a solution
which will win World War III without
all-out atomic war. The sooner we get
on with it the better.

Why Negotiate With Them?

In his address at Williamsburg the other
day, Secretary of State Dulles made timely
and persuasive point in explaining why it is
wise and necessary to keep on negotiating with
the Communists despite their constant display
Of bad faith and their implacable drive to put
an end to freedom everywhere.
At first glance this may seem to be an
unrealiStic view For the Soviet world as Mr..
Dulles has said now dominates 800 million
people and is fanatically dedicated to the task
of winning similar mastery over the remaining
two-tnirds of the human race In other words,
the long-range objective of the Red totali-
taranS encompasses nothing less than the
communication of the entire globe and they
are ceaseleSSly working to that end not merely
because they lust for power but because they
regard freedom anywhere as a constant peril
to themselves and their tyranny-a contagion
that they must wipe out, for their own safety,
as fast as possible wherever they can
That is why the men of the Kremlin and
their co-conspiratorS in Europe and Asia have
persistently torpedoed every Western effort to
work out with them fair and honorable agree
ments on crucial issues like atomic energy,
Austria, Germany, Korea and Indo- China They
do not want such agreements They do not
want to cooperate in negotiating any settle
ments that would serve to promote decent
peace of liberty and justice. Instead, in Mr..
Dulles words, they continue to insist unyield-
ingly upon formula which will not only
assure their despotism within the areas they
now control but also allow them to apply their
ruthless methods to gain control of the areas
which are still free"
Why, then, should the United States and
like-minded countries bother to negotiate with
these people? Mr.. Dulles himself has raised
the question, and he has answered it by saying
that mo man has the right to assume that he
sees the future so clearly that he is justified
in concluding either that war is inevitable or
that methods of conciliation are futile. Efforts
for honorable peace are required out of a de-
cent respect for the opinion of mankind. Also,
they clarity the issues" in way that should
alert the free nations and impel them to stand
resolutely together for defense against the
Communist menace-by far the most power
full and threatening form of despotism in the
history of the world.
AS for himself, Mr.. Dulles has made clear
that he is not peSSimistic about the ability
of the free nations to cope effectively with this
immense threat On the contrary, in his judg-
ment. by perssting in the negotiating effort,

Blood Affects Dreams.


There is a striking difference in the
dreams of persons with a tendency to
high blood pressure and those with
normal pressure.
This has just been reported to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science here by DR.. Leon Saul
and his associates of the University Of
Pennsylvania medical school.
They made study of 500 dreams
reported by 200 persons Of widely diff
ferent personality structures. They an
alyzed these dreams with respect to the
amount of hostility they displayed to-
ward the world and the rest of man.
kind, on the assumption that a dream
is often an expression Of subconsciouS
wishes.
Those dreams which included the
death or serious injury Of somebody
else were rated high in hostility.
Slightly lower in the scale were those
which included destruction or injury to
some object.
They found. DR.. Saul reports. that
representative individuals rated consist
emily higher in the hatred content Of
their dream life than others.
The finding emphasizes what has
long been aSSumed-that personality
plays a considerable part in one of the
major "maladies of civilization" and
that it results partly from the hatred
born of Illustration. which is WELL
recognized symptom of disordered
times. The degree of this hostility, how
ever, seems to depend to some extent
on basic personality, The easygoing
person apparently is not prone to easily

findings are open to considerable crit,

selected. The work can be considered.

Lincoln and Jackson

The Truman Embarrassing jamboree
at the Mayhower Hotel is reported in
The Star of May z as Jefferson
jackson" dinner. In view Of certain
after-dinner remarks at a Democratic
celebration of Lincoln'S birthday in
New York on February 13 by that pill
lar OF the Simon-pure Americans for
Democratic Action, Senator Lehman,
one would rather have expected the
announcement Of a Jackson-Lincoln
dinner, especially since the New Deal
ers discarded the Jeffersonian philoSo-
phy of government in 1888.
At this lucrative gorge in New York.
Senator Lehman said he was incensed
by the fraudulent claim that Abra-
ham Lincoln belonged to the G. o. P.
and that, if he had his rights, he would
be counted as Democrat since he was
happy only in the noble company of
Andrew Jackson. Before the Senator
undertakes to recruit other illuStriouS
Republicans for the ranks Of the Fair
Dealers he would be well advised to
make at least a cursory study of their
political careers. During the term of
Martin Van Buren, Old Hickory's Vice
President and his hand-picked success
sor in the White House, Lincoln said at
Springfield, ILL.,, in 1899: II know that
the great volcano at Washington,
aroused and directed by the evil spirit
that reigns there, is belching forth the
lava of political corruption in current
broad and deep, which is sweeping with
frigntful velocity over the whole length
and breadth of the land, bidding fair to
leave unscathed no green spot or living
thing; while on it's bosom are riding,
like demons on the waves of hell, the
imps of that evil spirit, fiendiShly
taunting all those who dare resist its
destroying course with the hopelessnesS
of their effort; and, knowing this, I
cannot deny that all may be swept
away. Broken by it I, too. may be; bow
to it I never will" Thus did the
martyred Lincoln denounce the "evil
spirit" of Jacksonian Democracy, of
which the modern-day Fair Dealers are
the rightful inheritors.
Jefferson would have heartily in
dorsed the credo of Lincoln when the
latter said: ITO us it appears like prin-
ciple, and the best sort of principle at
that-the principle of allowing the
people to do as they please with their
own business" OF course, to Senator
Lehman and other faithful Fair Deal
ers this is rank heresy. They have yet
to repudiate the Truman concept that
a Fair Deal President is endowed from
on high with extra constitutional, "in-
herent" powers to seize private property
at his pleasure-or rather at the pleas
ure CT the labor union bosses.

Tuxpuyer's Burden

During the past 80 years the average
citizen has become used to paying
income taxes in an increasing
amount. Not only Federal income taxes,
but State income taxes as well. How
ever, am one Of those individuals
who is compelled to pay three and four
income taxes live in the District of
Columbia, so naturally pay Federal
income tax and the District income tax,
because I reside here and do receive
the benefits of the cost OF my local
government AS work on Federal
reservation in the State of Maryland,
that State has laws requiring me to
pay q State nonresident income tax.
My wife works on Federal reservation
in the State of Virginia and that State
also has q desire for part of her pay
check. These four income taxes add
up to more than think the Congress
intends us to pay.
In each case, neither Maryland nor
Virginia provides a single service that
basis for taxation. Transportation to
and from work is even over Federal
highways or parkways. Therefore, it
does seem proper that the legality of
nonresident, taxation, which results in
unjust hardships, be made question of
judicial review. by the Supreme Court.
If the doctrine of nonresident taxa
, ton is legal. then Congress should for
get the political implications and enact
legislation which would permit the Dis
trict of Columbia to reciprocate and
tax the many Maryland and Virginia
residents employed in the District.

Big Time July 4
For CIeyeIanders

Cleveland, Ohio --- The 4th
of July Holiday will be cele-
brated by the members of
Junior Nest 55 with a Picnic
at the Croatian Home, 6314
st. Clair Avenue.
The event will be gin
promptly at 1900 Noon, at
which time our guests may
order a supply of that deli
cious hot barbecued lamb,
pork and other items on our
dinner menu. Both sof t
drinks and beverages made of
that "stener stuff" will be
available throughout the day.
Those in attendance are
sure to enjoy the music Of
the Blue Danube Tamburitza
ensemble, under the leader
ship of Frank Muza. This
popular group has orders to
arrive on the scene bright and
early to lend a proper festive
air to the event.
We're not worried too
much about what the weather
man has to offer us that day,
since the Croatian Home is
an ideal spot for an outing
should mother nature decide
to shower us with a little
precipitation.
The Arrangements A Com
mittee is fully confident that
the entire membership OF
Nest 55 will be on hand at the
festivities, and it cordially in
vites all Slavs in the Cleve-
land vicinity to join us also.
Aside from according our
members and friends an op-
portunity to spend the holi-
day in a truly fraternal at
mosphere, we have an "ul-
terror motive" in sponsoring
this event. In other words, we
would like to make this a fl
nancial success, since all pro-
ceeds are earmarked for the
benefit of the Nest Treasury.
