come to the United Nations to debate pro-
pOsal for a cease-fre with the Chinese Ma
tiOnalists. This result might have been ex-
pected but the West is ever hopeful that the
Reds may some day back up their talk about
a desire for peace by demonstrating desire
actually to negotiate settlement of differ
ences. There are some who hold the view
that Red China should be admitted to the
United Nations Yet the Communist Chinese
have never DEMONSTRATED anything but con-
tempt for the UN and the purposes for which
it was formed. 1t is the one country in the
world which has waged war on forces fight
ing under the UN flag.
Now the Chinese Reds have once more
shown that they have no respect for the IJN.
They were given the chance to be part of the
forum on at least one occasion, to present
their side of the case and listen to the other
side Instead of accepting that offer they
turned their backs on the UN and announced
to the world their intention of following
their own selfish course, wherever that may
lead. Despite the firm stand we have taken
on FormOsa our government has demonstrate
ed a great amount of flexibility in policy to-
ward negotiations with the Chinese Com
munists If peace becomes impossible in Asia
the blame will rest with those who refused
the opportunity to negotiate.

Dear Friends:
This is more like it. This is the
kind of winter we expected from
the midwest when we moved here
nineteen months ago.
Early this week we had a snow
fall of four inches and of course
we were real pleased with this, but
night before last the base weather
men gave warnings of a real heavy
snow. To avoid any damage to
those super" B-47 jet bOmbers
they were flown to "greener pas
lures, in California. 'Tis almost
impossible to predict weather in the
Jawhawk state and so we didn't
acknowledge their warning.

hour they set for the snow to com
mence and sure enough just after
dark the sky was full of beautiful
white fakes. I was just like a kid
that night and couldn't sleep won

following morning. yesterday, and
was just delighted to see our
neighbor's window sills touching

and received a scOlding from Hayes

BabsOn Discusses The Bible And FOrmOsa

BabsOn Park, Mass, Feb. 10. Four
hundred years ago, my ancestor
the Rev. John Rogers, was burned
at-the-stake in London, England. on
February 4, 1865 To commemorate
MIN and to add some current com
ments, is my desire today.
Bibles We're Struggled Into
England
The Rev. John Rogers was
martyred for his work of trans
lating the Bible into the English
language and circulating this com
plete Bible in England. Tvndale
with the help of Coverdale, trans
lated the New Testament and a
portion of the Old Testament, as
far as II Chronicles, when he was
martyred therefor. Then John
Rogers under the assumed name
of Matthews" completed the Bible
IN its entirety for readers in Eng
land. This was i'm 1887: and he
did most of the work in Holland.
From Holland. the English i'm
ported flour, cheeses and other
Ioods. My ancestor arranged with
the packers of the barrels and
crates containing these food pro-
ducts to hide Bible among the
contents and thereby smuggled
these Bibles into England. When
ne returned to England about ten
years later he was arrested and
imprisoned in the Tower of London.
Finally, he was martyred at
"Smithfeld" where I have seen 4
bronze marker telling this story
Of his martyrdom.
Importance OF Sacrifice
There are many lessons for us
from the above experience. First. is
the conservation of the priests of
that day and their willingness to
make any sacrifice, including their

Humanity Plus


A new organization of employers,
to back up the Presidents Commit
tee on the Employment of the
Physically Handicapped, points up
two important facts. One is the
simple humanity in giving a dis
abled person a chance to fit into
society as a self-respecting, self
supporting citizen. The other is
the very practical one of making
full use of our human resources.
1t is now an old story that a
physically handicapped person,
placed in the right job is an ex-
cellent productive worker. It often
happens that such a person, when
properly re-tTained for his new Job,
becomes exceptionally proficient
and in many cases even a better
worker than those who have not
suffered injury. To keep the physi-
cally handicapped person out of
employment is to neglect skills we
cannot afford to lose.
1t has been estimated that there
are now fully two million people
unemployed because of. physical
handicaps. If these people were en-
plOyed in industry and commerce,
not only would our productive ca
pacities be increased, but our tax
bills for welfare and assistance
would be cut. Moreover, we would
have that many more self-suppOrt-
ing tax-paying citizens. During the
last ten years rehabilitated workers
have paid $500 million in federal
income taxes alone. The total cost
of their rehabilitation is in the
neighbOrhOOd of 1927 million.
The re-training and placement
of disabled is not an easy matter.
It takes careful planning and in
telligent placement so that the
round pegs fit into round holes.
But it isn't beyond our capacities,
as has been shown in tens of
thousands of cases.
Arde BulOva, chairman of the
BulOva Watch Company and head
OF the Presidents committee of en-
ployers who are working in the
field of employment of the physi-
cally Handicapped, points out that
the experience of his own company
IN this field has been excellent. Ten
per cent of all of BulOva's en-
ployees working in their plants and
offices are physically handicapped.
That may be a high percentage
for some industries, but it shows
what can be done if a real effort is
made. The Presidents Employers
Committee is a Who's Who of
American industry and top results
can be expected from it if every

the Bibles Golden Rule, both in
national and International affairs,
can we hope to survive. The Bible
is the only Bomb" which can save
America. Read Isaiah, Chapter 81.
What About China And FOrmOsa ?
The Chinese leaders of today
were largely educated in colleges
founded by missionaries sent to
China by the Christian churches of
the U. S., England and our other
Western Allies. l have visited some
of these Chinese Colleges and have
seen the Bible being taught there
to the brightest young men of
China. These students were great
ly impressed by Jesus Teachings,
especially by the Sermon on the
Mount.
As these students matured and
became acquainted with the way
our businessmen and politicians
acted, they truly wondered if we
are a Christian nation. Students
VINO came TO New York, Chicago,
and other large American cities for
postgraduate work concluded that
we are hypocFites. They returned
to China saying that the Bible is
a forgotten book with us. The
Russian Communists told them that
our missionaries used our Bible
only to put the Chinese to sleep"
while we robbed China. President
Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles
both Bible-reading men-are handi-
capped by this unfortunate situ-
alton. Fighting alone will not save
FOrmOsa. FOrmosa and the entire
East can be saved only if we stop
worshipping material success and
atomic power and return to the
of the Bible.
Milford chronicle., 1955-02-11

lives. Our willingness to sacrifice
for our Church and Faith is a
basic difficulty of the U. S. today.
1t is good to see church member
ship and attendance increase; but
these figures mean little unless
accompanied by a willingness to
sacrifice.
Jesus never quoted Statistics
He demanded that His followers be
judged by their works of righteous
ness. l would go even further and
say that the greatness of every
powerful nation has been made
possible by the peoples sacrifice.
When the willingness to sacrifice
declined, the nations economic
spiritual strenth. In fact, the best
U. S. barometer of our spiritual
strength is the value of our dollar.
It increases or decreases according
to our willingness to sacrifice for
what is right.
We Must Again Teach Bible To
Our Children
The Second lesson applies to
the great need of more Bible read
ing today. When / was a boy, most
New England families were Bible
reading families with daily family
prayers. We are all taught to obey
Bible Teachings and to memOrize
them. I believe that we must again
install the Bible as a family guide
and as our national guide.
Atomic bombs will not save us,
any more than the Chinese Wall
saved China, or the Maginot Line
saved France. This nation is de-
pending to much on material de-
fense. The more wealth we have,
the better target we are and,
through jealousy, the more enemies
we will have. Only as we practice

These skilled, loyal workers de-
serve no less in being helped back

Sounds Like "NO"
Chou En-lai, the sO-called
Premier" of the bandit group ad-
ministering the blessings of Com
munism among the 600 million
mainland Chinese, appears to have
made up his mind that President
EisenhOwer's request for broad
authority to defend FOrmOsa, and
the endorsement of that request
by Congress, is a bluff.
In replying, via the Peiping radio.
to Dag HammarskjOld's invitation
to join the discussion of a FOrmO-
san cease-fiTe in the UN Security
Council, Chou Outdid in arrogance
all previous performances.
Red China must be given the
Security Council seat of the Chinese
NatiOnalists. he said, and the u. S.
must answer for its "acts of ag-
gression" and direct violation of
the fundamental principles of the
United Nations Charter"
He reiterated that the Formosan
crisis had been brought about by
United States occupation of For
mOsa and Intervention in China's
internal affairs. He could only
agree to send a representative, he
said, when the representatives of
Chang Kai-shek's clique have been
driven out from the Security COun-
Gil and the representatives of the
Peoples Republic of China attends
in the name of China"
ChOu's blast followed on the
heels of the press conference in
which President Eisenhower clamp
ed down on detailed questions on
such points as whether we would
defend the islands of QuemOy and
Matsu and whether orders to the
Seventh Fleet permitted "hOt pur-
suit" of Red attackers. In answer
ing a more general question, the
President said: "The purpose is to
make certain that no conflict Oc-
ours through mistaken calculations
on the other side as to our concern
about FOrmOsa and our determi-
nation to defend it. We have been
as exact as it seems possible to
be, and we have certainly tried to
avoid being truculent. The pur-
pose is honestly and hopefully to
prevent war"

is COMMUNISM PRODUCING IN
RUSSIA?

For q year or more, the Soviet govern
ments domestic propaganda stressed a pro-
gram for vastly increasing production of
consumer goods. The Soviet people, this line
said in effect, would soon get more and better
food and manufactured goods, and living
standards for the masses would soar.
Late in January, Pravda, the official Com
munlst party newspaper, published a signifi-
cant article. An AP dispatch from Moscow
said that western diplomats there regard it
as the most important appearing in the
Soviet press in months" The article, which
was OF course inspired by the Kremlin, de-
nounced the emphasis on consumer goods
and said that the further development of
heavy industry is the essential thing. At the
same time the trade minister, who had done
much to spark the consumer goods cam
paign, was relieved of that job
Various differences can be made from all
this One is that all is not well back of the
Iron Curtain-that there is internal trouble
and dissensiOn. This idea is developed in de-
tail in the lead article in the u S. News &
World Report of January 21.
According to the magazine, "COmmun-
ism's heralded wave of the future turns out
now to be a wave of hunger and want-Of
chaos approaching disaster At time when
the capitalist West is booming as seldom be-
fore, Soviet East Europe is wallOwing in
trouble"
This has reached the point where there is
open dlSsenSlOn among officials in the Satel-
lite nations and rumOrs of major cIeavages
inside Russia proper. The shortages are uni
Versal-in housing, food, clothes, manufac-
tured goods. Here, in brief, is how U. S.
News sums up the situation, based on the
most reliable evidence available.
RaLssiG: The people still live on a bare
no Ac vov,10 Ao1r
the average man AZ days of work to buy
winter suit. Russia has fewer cattle now
than in the days of the czars, though her
population has jumped by 50,000,0O0.
East Germany: 1t is a real critical area
with widespread discomfort and growing
sabotage and absenteeism. The people are
hungry and cold.
Hungary: In a state of crisis, with mount
ing food shortages and declining industrial
production, there are armies of unemployed.
CzecbOSlOUUkid: This little country was
once among the most advanced in all Europe.
The standard of living was high and life
was happy. Under Communism all that has
changed and want is the order of the day.
u. S. News quotes one housewife as COM
planning that for six months she hadn't been
able to find gloves, socks or winter under
wear in the stores.
The situation is much the same in the
other satellite cOuntries-POland, Bulgaria
and Rumania. Whether such conditions can
ultimately lead to successful big-scale re-
volt or even cOunter-revOlution in modern
police states is an unanswered question. But,
to quote u. S. News once more, 'The Com
munists, behind the Iron Curtain, give their
subject peoples less food and clothing, not
more, and the idea is spreading that Mos
cows formula for prosperity doesn't really
'-'ork well in practice anywhere"
