The Cold War in North Africa

another nation - France -
does not seem to be frowned
upon by the oft-glorifled
United Nations.
The "anti colonialism"
propaganda generated by the
Communists finds q certain
receptiveness am ong those
Americans who at the same
time seem to ignore Commu-
mist eolonialism as practiced
In Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary,
Lithuania, Estonia and Lat
via. ALI these countries not
only have lost their indie
pendence but have been ter
rorized into submission by the
military power Of the Red
armies.
Very little is being said in
America about the tragic
plight Of the peoples of those
countries. The American in
strumen ts Of propaganda
abroad for the most part keep
hands OF for fear Of offending
the Communists. There is lit
tie mention Of collaboration.
incidentally, whenever any
good excuse is lacking for
Americas failure to exert
moral force In behalf Of OPP
pressed peoples, the argument
Is made that liberation" of
the oppressed peoples Is likely

The events in North Africa
show that the Communists
are winning many sectors In
the cold war while the West
ern countries still are lulled
into complacency by the
peace offensive" Even the
brutal shooting down Of an
unarmed American airplane
in the demllitarized zone in
Korea doesn't cause any anx-
iety in the Kremlin because 1t
doesn't stir any official ex-
preston Of resentment here.
Small wonder the Communists
pursue their "cold war" tactics
so intensively.

try has to offer.
A whole complex Of medical
and social services has grown
up around them. They are
taller. bigger. healthier than
their parents. It is perhaps too
imaginative to suggest that
they have o distinctive look,
and yet they seem to be more
like each other than they are
like their parents.
Schooling is free and COM
pulsory through the eighth
grade. The great lack is in
the high school, without which
the technicians the country
needs viii not be forthcoming.
This is being remedied though
not as fast as many think nee
essary. Yet the Hebrew Uni
versity is bounding ahead. It
formerly had 900 students, now
it has about $500.
A religious university has
been started in Tel Aviv, and

tute. q miniature Massachu-

late, great chemist who was
Israel's first President.

lis; Bulgaria, Yugoslavia,
Greece. SO; Romania, So;
Hungary. Austria, Czechoslo-
vakia. SO; Germany. 1913;
Middle East including Egypt,

ratios can be upset by any mass

For example, North Africa is

New Attack on South Korea Seen

our side. Lacking airflelds for
the fighter planes IN North
Korea. the Red bombers were
unable to bomb South Korea
and particularly the Pusan
base. That has changed now.
In the two years Of "armis-
tice" the Reds have trans
formed North Korea from the
3Sth Parallel to the Yalu River
into a military camp dotted
with airfields. We, however,
have lived up scrupulously to
the armistice terms. We did
not bring In new weapons and
ammunition. Moreover, conf
dent that the war was over, we
actually redeployed our air
and ground forces from South
Korea.
The men In Peiping believe
that Moscow's policy Of sweet
ness and light has affected
the American determination
to stand by our Nationalist
and ROK allies. This belief
seems confirmed by reports
of q reduction Of the strength
of the 7th Fleet which bars
the way for a Communist In
vasion Of the Nationalist-held
islands Although, according
to official sources, no "rede-
ployment" is being contem-
plated at present, some units
have been transferred to other
areas in the Pacific.
The Geneva conversations
between American Ambassador
Johnson and Red China's
Wang have been stalemated
ever since they began on Au-
gust /. The Communist diplo-
mat is polite but unyielding
even on the simple matter Of
releasing the Al Americans
still held in Red China. The
Peiping Reds want us to yield
q yard for their every inch.
The continuation of the
Chinese Communists military
preparations is interpreted not
only by our Oriental allies but
by q number of Americans in
Korea and Formosa as an indi-
cation that Chou En-lai may
be about to misjudge America
as specifically as he did five
years ago.

Intelligence reports from
Taipei and Seoul indicate the
possibility of q Communist at
tack against the Republic OF
Korea sometime this year. The
unrelenting Chinese Commu-
mist military preparations IN
the area from North Korea to
the Formosa Strait are the
basis for these suspicious.
Our Oriental allies fear that
the Asiatic branch Of the Mos
cow-Peiping axis, hiding be-
hind the sweetness and light
policy which began at Geneva
last month, intends to settle
the question Of Korean unity
in its own way.
The present situation Is
psychologically not much Diff
ferent from that which existed
in the spring and early sum-
mer Of 1850 when the Commu-
nists struck at unprepared
South Korea. The Reds had
placed too much emphasis on
the official spoken words and
misjudged the temper Of the
American people.
In February. 1850. the then
Secretary Of State Dean Ache
son, in q speech at the Nation
al Press Club In Washington,
outlined our zones Of strategic
interest in the Pacific. He
pointedly left out South Korea
and Formosa. Earlier that year
the American propaganda serv-
ices In the Far East received
instructions from the State
Department to prepare for our
abandonment Of the Chinese
Nationalist. The Communists
in Peiping put two and two
together and, after assuring
themselves that there were no
real forces available on short
notice In the Pacific to halt
an invasion Of South Korea,
decided to strike. They thought

As one followed through the
newspapers the testimony
against Sergt. Gallagher. con-
victed last Friday Of the I'M
premeditated murder Of two
fellow prisoners and fragrant
collaboration with the enemy
in Korean prison camps, a
picture Of the accused formed
IN the minds eye: A tough
hulk and a british face, coarse
and stupid.
Therefore. the photographs
Of him, illustrating the story
of his trial, astonished this
reader. Physically trim and
fastidious, his is not o british
face, nor a mean, coarse, or
stupid one.
Young Mr.. Gallagher did
not cover under his sentence
to life imprisonment. He re-
ceived 1t calmly and stoically,
asserting that he had had q
fair trial. Some told the truth
and some didn't" he said Of
his accusers. These men
know who they are"
Though the court rejected

OF 1t was 80 abundant, and

court decreed, had deprecated
the United States, associated
intimately with his Communist
captors, carried out their
wishes, and treated fellow
prisoners who were Ill with
such cold brutality that two,
whom he threw out Of the
hut into subzero temperatures,
froze to death very quickly.
Can this behavior be ex-
planned as the result of BRAIN
washing, or Communist con-
victions, and If he had such
convictions, on what were they
based?
There was no evidence that
Sergt. Gallagher was ever sub

DAVID LAWRENCE

The cold war goes on de-
spite the professions Of peace
full purpose which emanate
regularly from the Communist
leaders.
While the quarrels inside
Morocco and Algeria are by
no means Of Communist Or
igip, there is no question that
Communist money and schem-
ing inside both countries has
inflamed the situation.
Thus, for example. the North
African Liberation COMMITTEES,
which has been behind these
disorders, operates on Egyptian
territory. The French have
been well aware for some time
that the Egyptian government
has permitted the committee
to broadcast from its territory
a good deal Of inflammatory
propaganda directed to Algeria,
Morocco and Tunisia. A Com
munist station in Budapest
keeps up a similar line.
BY promoting agitation and
even sending funds and some
arms to stir up trouble, the
North African Committee was
able to synchronize the upriS-
ings. Newsmen knew in ad-
vance of the expected disor-
ders. It all has the markings
Of a carefully nurtured plot to
cause embarrassment to the
French.
But the real objective as it
affects the Western allies is
broader. One result has been
to withdraw thousands of
troops from the North At
lantic Treaty Organization in
Europe and another has been
to imperil the American air
bases in Morocco.
A cold war to some extent
has the same detectives as q
hot war. The purpose is to
weaken the enemy's military
strength and organization.

communist-lnspired Agitation DNerts
Several NATO Units From France

NATO isn't as strong with
out the French divisions now
in Africa as it would be with
them. Likewise, II an atomic
attack came suddenly. 1t is
questionable whether Ameri-
can overseas bases wouldn't be
subject to sabotage and in
reference by locally armed
bands. The United States does
not maintain large bodies Of
troops overseas to guard these
bases and, In an emergency,
would have TO divert divisions
from Europe to Africa to safe
guard the bases from which
our bombers must take OF.
II Is true, Of course. that
the basic issues Of nationalisnl
didn't start with the Com
munists, but the latter took
advantage of the ferment.
Even when self-rule Is granted,
however. troubles for the par
ent country do not cease. The
adoption Of a plan for auton-
omy in Tunisia was merely the
prelude to the fomenting Of
internal dissension elsewhere,
in North Africa. Once there
is a plan also for Algeria and
Morocco, other sources Of
friction will be developed by
the Communists.
Back Of the strategy Of in
filtration and subversion is
the idea that this form Of
warfare is least expensive and
can pay of In actual control
or intimidation Of the smaller
governments once they obtain
their independence. The Egyp-
tian independence movement
had Communist backing and,
once the British were driven
