Carrot and Stick

good example Of the old carrot-and-
stick technique can be found In the Krenl-
Inns latest propaganda statement aimed at
defeating ratification of the Paris accords
on arming West Germany as a sovereign
member of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
Thus, as far as the carrot Is concerned,
the statement obviously is designed to en-
tice the Parliament at Bonn into rejecting
the accords on the basis of an alluring
Soviet promise. The promise is this If
the Parliament votes against ratification,
then the Kremlin will seek Immediately to
''normalize" its relations with Chancellor
Adenauer's government and to enter upon
negotiations for holding countrywide free
elections" as prelude to ending the present
partition and reunifyipg all Of Germany as
a single independent nation aloof from
NATO or any other alliance.
At the same time, while displaying this
carrot the Soviet statement also brandishes
a stick in order to warn the free Germans
that they will be punished If they do not
act in Keeping with what the Kremlin wants.
In other words, If they fail to kill of the
Paris agreements in exchange for MoScow's
promise, the division of their country will
presumably will be harsher than ever in its
attitude toward them. Cajolery and threat
thus have been put to work simultaneously
In an effort to charm and intimidate the
Bonn Parliament into an naturalization
vote.
Considering what history has taught
about the tremendous unreliability OF
Soviet words. DR.. Adenauer has. done the
right thing in promptly brushing aside this
transparent propaganda and emphasizing
that ratification must be completed as a
prerequisite to any kind of negotiations with
the Kremlin. Nevertheless, Moscow's state
ment unquestionably has impressed many
free Germans eager for their country's re-
unification, and the Bonn government and
the West as a whole could therefore do
worse than make special effort to expose
the counterfeit nature Of both the promise
and the threat involved.

Lincoln's Views Still Timely

It has been very interesting to me
to have studied the great life Of Abra-

made in Indianapolis on February IL.
1851. when the newly elected President
was en- route to Washington to assume
ONCE:
IN all trying positions In which /
shall be placed, and doubtless ! shall
be placedein many such. my reliance
win be upon you and the people Of the
United States; and wish you to re-.
member, now and forever. that it is
your business, and not mine: that il
the people shall be lost. it is little to

great deal to the thirty millions of
people who inhabit these United States.
and their posterity in all coming time.
1t is your business to rise up and pre-
serve the Union and liberty for yolir-
selves, and not for me. appeal to you
again to constantly bear In mind. that
not with politicians. not with Presi-
dents, not with ofiiceseekers. but with
you is the question: Shall the Union

be preserved to the latest generations?s
In this day and age know Of no

combination of political faith that /
have always reserved the free right to
vote for statesmen, men and women
felt were most capable for the work
they were trying to place themselves
in for the good of the community or
the country. It is also strange to me
when consider my voting record in
the past years-that I have voted for
about as many in one party as in the
other.
My main purpose was always to vote
for form of government that was
always for the people, because through.
all OF the political debates. and they
have become mighty intense at times.

1t was the turn Of the CEN
tary when Tom Walsh moved
his family from Colorado TO
the Nations capital. His fabu-
lous wealth alone gave him en-
tree to society. And In 1903,
after a trip to Europe during
which King Leopold Of the
Belgians became interested in
Walsh's mining successes, the
monarch accepted an invita-
ton to visit Walsh In America.
