Grand Old Man of Many Tough Battles

obstructionism. Syngman Rhee
is an old man who has seen
and suffered much. He knows
right from wrong with a clar-
ity Of vision denied all too
often TO those statesmen of
fewer years whose judgments
may be somewhat distorted by
visions of the future, either
personal or national. Mr.. Rhee
knows the rule of life. He can
measure his span. At this
point, he has not the slightest
need for equivocation.
The true nature of the Com
munist world conspiracy is no
mystery to Mr.. Rice, be its
facade cloaked in smiles or
scowls. He knows the basic
techniques of the Red policy,
the devious byWays Of its dlplo-
mats, the dire direction Of its
intent.
The Republic Of Korea has
been devastated and impover-
ished by long and bloody ag-
greSSive war. launched from
the Communist North with the
covert and overt aid of Soviet
Russia and Red China. In that
war Mr.. Rhee marshaled his
people to an all-out defense
against the invaders. He quickly
got the support of the United
States. and later Of the United
Nations, the latter a token sort
of support valued, to some ex-
tent, only in the measure of
world opinion and prestige.
Pressures Of appeasement,
war WEAKNESS, ignorance of
the truth of Communist de-
signs and a general world
apathy combined to deprive
South Korea of victory Just

West Virginion Suggests
New State Name: Acadia

The new State is doing rather
well, though it could do better.
But with a new name, it will do
far better.
when the names which have
been proposed for the State are
considered. it's no wonder they
haven't been popular. If the
object is to avoid confusion be-
tween East and West Virginia,
then why change to TTansyl-
vania, which would surely be
confused with Pennsylvania.
IF an easy-to-spell and pro-
nounce name is sought, then why
take Kanawha. which half Of the
people in the State are unable
to pronounce correctly; which
is spelled half a dozen ways in
the history books; and which
has no meaning which most
people recognize.
LAS for one Of the proposed
name, Vandalla, it suggests a
land of vandalism barbarians,
Easy to Say, and Musical
The new name is so easy to
say. so musical, it may become
a favorite with the song writer's.
even as Tennessee and Ohio are
today.
THE worst objection I have
heard TO the new name is that
it would mean new geography
books. But school boards usually
revise or replace them every four
years, anyway.
Before a new name Is
adopted, the State Senate and
the House Of Delegates must
adopt Joint resolution, calling
for vote of the poole. There's
nothing wrong about letting the
people decide. Even if a law
maker feels that his constitu-
lents will be against the plan,
he should let them speak for
themselves. To do otherwise is
TO deny them their rights OF
freedom, guaranteed in the State
constitution and in the State
slogan, 'mountaineers are al
ways free.

Cut-Rate Cotton
Exports Put Off
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son. in an announcement
awaited in cotton I markets
around the world. said today the
Government will take no new
steps before January l to cut
prices on cotton exports.
After that date. he said, the
Government may offer up to
one million bales of Govern
ment-owned low quality cotton
for sale abroad at reduced
prices.
This means that for the time
being foreign buyers of Ameri-
can cotton must pay the same
prices that prevail in domestic
markets even though these
prices run above world market
levels.
The administration has been
under strong pressure from some
farm groups and cotton State
congressman to increase exports.
Secretary Benson had pro-
posed use of cut rates to en-
courage exports, but the State
Department opposed the pro-
posal on grounds that it would
bring charges of export dump
ing" Another factor was the
possibility that textile products
made from the cut-price cotton
would find their way into the
United States to compete with
those of domestic manufac-
turers paying higher prices for
cotton.
/ In discussing possible future
cut-rate sales. Secretary Benson
said:
I'VE hope to move some Of the
lower quality cotton in Commod-
lty Credit Corp. stocks, for which
there is no effective market de-
mand at present prices. through
limited export program after
the first of the year. We would
make such sales on a gradual
basis"
He said this would be only
an interim step" until Congress
can pass legislation which
would bring cotton price sup
ports more nearly in line with
competitive world markets, He
expressed hope the next Con-
gress would take such action.
President Eisenhower yester-
day signed a bill designed to
spur sales abroad of American
farm SURPRISES. 1t raises the
amount of products the Govern
mcnt may sell for foreign cur
Irencies from $500 million to
SIS billion.

that they deign to consider the
United States Presidents offer
of exchange of military Sc
crets. that q they delight in
posing as either homely family
men or friendly military bud
dies. With their incalculable
superiority of manpower and
conventional arms, the one
thing they ever had to fear
was the American advance in
nuclear research. Their dis

at eliminating this last OBJ
Stacle to their ambitious plans.
Their dilly-dallying about Eu-

unification is supposed to gain
them time until they may
tackle the problem from a re-
versed position of strength
with the American guard down
and the Soviet preparations up.
This plan is by no means
limited to military develop
ments only: it is closely con-
nected with increased political
subversion OF free countries
and with the final breaking Of
the satellites resistance mo-
rale. Geneva was certainly no
sellout or even defeat; yet it
facilitated in the long run the
Soviet task, once Mr.. Essen

the talk of liberation Of the
Soviet dominated Eastern Eu-

meddling in their internal af-

is no place to discuss Commu-

Rhee Has Cause to Be Concerned

that was an insult to the cause
Of Korean freedom.
AS a provision of the phony
armistice agreement, a So
called Neutral Nations Com
mission was established to
oversee the working out Of
the truce terms. The commits
sion was inaccurately named.
Among its "neutrals" we're
placed Czechoslovakia and Po-
land, both Communist. This
insulting organization has con-
tinued to exist In South Ko-
rca since the truce, protected by
the United States according to
the terms of the agreement.
Meanwhile, the Communist
North has violated the truce
terms almost openly ana al
ways unblushingly. Fighter
aircraft have been based at
rebuilt Red airfelds, in de-
fiance of the armistice terms.
Mr.. Rhee's government has
convincing reason to believe
that the Communist members
of the neutral" commission
have been busily spying upon
South Korca's defense prcpa-
rations against the day when
the Reds resume their stark
aggression.
Secretary of State Dulles
last week called on Mr.. Rhee TO
exercise patience and forbear-
ance in his attitude toward
this nest of rattlesnakes in his
capital. The ROK President
was reminded that the Neutral
Nations body was protected
by United States guarantees.
He was more subtly reminded,
of course, that the combat
ready ROK armed forces were
entirely dependent on the

Doctors DISAGREE

-
Some time ago. DR.. Roland
Bieren stated that the Hoover
administration did nothing for
the relief of worthy indigents
during the worldwide depres-
sion which had its beginning
in Italy in 1921 and which
spread across all of Europe
before reaching America in
1929.
This was either a bungling
attempt to distort the facts
or the doctor did not live in
close observance Of events of
that era. Records show that
with no flare for publicity,
and without a label of politi-
cal patronage, the Hoover
administration furnished the
Red Cross with an abundance
of wheat and other food
stuffs for relief purposes. Fur
thermore, the RFC and other
Government agencies gave
financial aid to States and
counties, which they used to
conduct needed work projects
and take other relief meas
ureS.
Then. in The Star of August
5. the doctor harkS back to the
Coolidge Hoover era and those
he terms the ''bonehead isola-
tionists." This leads me to ask
whether or not the Falls
Church physician believes in
unlimited interventionism
which, in this age, has been
contrary to the Decalogue. the
Golden Rule, the Bill of Rights
and the precepts of our fore
bears who gave US a form of
self-goyernment?
Were the founders of our
Republic isolationists? Cen
eral Washington declared:
IT'S our true policy to steer
clear of any portion of the
foreign world" jefferson.
Madison, Monroe and many
other great men Of integrity,
down to the New Deal era,
adhered to the admoniShings
of General Washington. Pres
ident Cleveland stated during
the depression of 1898 that at
is the duty of the people to
support the Government, but
Government cannot support
the people"
In 1920, Democratic and Re-
publican Senators refused to
ratify the League of Nations
on the ground that such a
treaty would commit America
to intervene in any future
European war. A great many
things prophesied by our fore
bears and the great many
statesmen after their time
have come to pass in late
years. and America is now
caught on the horns of a great
dilemma.
History repeats. Just as
Babylonia. the city-state de-
mocracy of ancient Greece,
Macedonia. Phoenicia. Egypt
and Rome found decay in state
interventionism and war, so
have the modern nations of
this age. Upheavals and con-
fusion lie in the future.

Uncle Sam in Arrears

I wonder If any Of your
readers have had trouble SINH
lar to mine and could give me
some advice. The Federal
Government owes me an in
come tax refund Of several
hundred dollars. I have asked
them for it with no results.
am afraid to ask again.
Apparently I have already
stuck my neck out too far and
will have my returns gone over
with a fine-tooth comb for the
rest of my life.
1t almost seems that some
one is holding back my refund
out of spite, although it's hard
to believe that anyone ap-
pointed to and entrusted with
a position of power over the
lives of others could be capable
of malice. If this is true, Id
like to have the guy who is
responsible know what it
means not to have a spare
buck from one week to the
next, watch hopefully for the
mailman every day for seven
months, and not call the doc
tor except in desperation.
Perhaps they're trying to
give me a break and it takes
longer than usual. If so, I'll
gladly apologize. but it's still
a long time.
I believe that payroll collec-
ton Of taxes is a good thing.
It's as painless as possible.
Uncle Sam gets immediate use
of the money. and when it
comes out even. no one owes
anyone interest. But when
someone like me has deduc-
tons because of unforeseen
sickness or obligations and is
due a refund, that's his money,
and it just isn't right forIUncle
to keep it a day longer than
the current backlog of work.
There must be a point OF law
there somewhere. but ap-
parently no one has ever con-
tested it.
I mailed my return in Janu-
airy. The same thing happened
that happens every year. A
month or so passed and no
refund. l called Baltimore In
ternal Revenue and was told
that the returns were worked
as they came to them and that
there was no way to dig mine
out of the pile.
Being a resident of the Dis
trict, without a Congressman
to go to for help, like a fool.

their envelopes. their returns
might be given special atten-

say.
Anyhow, got a letter from
the tax man saying. in effect,
that he received my letter to

think my idea was worth two
cents and if my return was on
the bottom of the pile he was
sorry.
