BrotherlY Love. Once in a while
when attending the me stings-not

bers throwing chairs at one an
other. Maybe that showed their
brotherhood. We don't get so IA
naiiliar with strangers.
The same diviSiveness is shown
in Israel where they have more
political parties than all the states
of the British Empire combined.
When an American is bored, he
gives a party. When an Israeli is
bored, he forms a party.
The idea Of brotherhood goes
back to the fact that Adam is our
common ancestor. The Jewish leg
end has it that God devised it thus
so that no one might be able 10
boast that he came of better stock
than another.
There is, of course, an opposing
theory that we are all descendants
of monkeys. Judging from the
way we act at times, this theory
has much to commend it, but per-
sonally 1 am like the old rabbi OF
Minsk. He was a man deeply
versed in the Talmud, but not up
in modernism; and his son was

to him.
The rabbi listened then pondsr-
ed. 80" he said. I'VE are all de-
scendants of monkeys according to
Darwin. Well. my son. maybe your
father was monkey. but mine
was not"
It is strange that we have no
full biography of this man who
was the father of all. Adam SEEM
ed to have kept no memoirs. Just
a plain, unassuming, average sort
of citizen. He probably was very
surprised when the newspaper
photographers came around to
take picture of him. From the
little that we have about him, he
seems to have been the kind of
man who collects stamps or
spends his time fiddling with his
car in his garage, think he was a
Republican.
It has been said that Adam was
the only man who never Hsd f.
listen to a wife complaining
about thu better men she m1gn1
have married.
His wife, Eve, seems to have
been the more aggressive person
atty. It was Eve who coaxed
Adam into eating the apple. At
least, Adam blamed her for it and
I am inclined to believe it. Women
are always looking for new diets.
Maybe she was reducing. The old
Sunday school rhyme tells about
all we know of Adam and Eve:
Adam was the first man.
Eve was his wife
They lived in a garden
And led a happy life.
But Eve she ate the apple
And so they couldn't remain.
So they moved into the suburbs
And started raising Cain.
Cain and Abel-that was really
the first brotherhood and it didn't
turn out well.
Cain killed Abel. He was the
first murderer. ! think the case
furnishes a real understanding Of
crime. In truth. Cain was not as
bad as it might seem. Why did he
kill? He had brought sacrifice
and Abel had brought sacrifice
and the latter's had been praised
the more. II ranked.
The moral seems to be-if we
wish for more brotherhood, we
must have less Illustrations.

Adams Is In Denver. seeing the

Mr.. Adams willingness to

Dulles, 1t was q relatively care

was part OFT. but he was not
held responsible.
He took direction Of the de-
partment under q President

confidence and acclaim. The
great Eisenhower name has
been a safe shelter for his
official family to a degree not
even enjoyed by Franklin
Rooseyelt's first administra-

None profited more than Mr..
Dulles. Important Senators
had n1isgiyings about the Sec
retary of State and many have
thought him thoroughly polit-
ical. but they have been re-
strained by their reliance on
the President personally.
Up to now the Secretary Of
State has had another advan-
tage. The new administration
has followed the main lines OF
the Truman Acheson foreign

have had to go along with the

vent the continuance Of the

But, as usual, the Communist
protests serve very badly to
cover up the main fact: that
Russia Is not about to expose
her secret military prepare
tions to anyone for any rea-
son. No one familiar with the
basic philosophy of Russian
communism ever expected for
e moment that Moscow would
permit foreign observers to
have even restricted access to

The Soviet drive for an early
abandonment Of American

Finland.
This. Of course, Is nonsense,
for there Is no remote similar
ity between the American
bases, set up on the soil Of
free nations at the express re-
quest Of those nations, and
the Russian bases, extorted
by force from helpless victims.
Moreover, the "unselfish" ges-
ture Of the Kremlin In giving
up military bases is plainly

consid iderations - they are ex-
posed and vulnerable In this

The true nature Of the
Soviet intentions behind the

and more apparent. And the
speed at which the Red
motives are growing palmer
Is 80 surprising as TO inspire
doubt that Moscow has much
more than contempt for the

end Of the Summit conference
at Geneva have made plain
that the Communists aim

that five appellate courts have

The only logical explanation
for criticism Of the use Of former

these trials not as criminal. but
as political in character" Mr..

willing to concede that the Amer

real threat or that its leaders
have really been engaged in a

We do not intend to be lulled
