Stevenson's Defense of Truman

straint and responsibility in

mean dilution or half-meas-

Will he be able to stick to
it? This is the question raised
by the present incident. 9th
ers are excited about it. If
he Is. he didn't show it! In
fact. he said he was not dis
turbed.
He said his views were we'll
known and his record clear. He
recited some Of it: Such as
the F.E.P.C. he put through in
Illinois. his ending segregation
in the Illinois National Guard,
etc. He said he had made many
speeches outlining his position
most recently on violence
in the South.
Stevenson probably has re-
captured the headlines with
his Truman defense, Yet no
civil rights incident is wholly
minor: the South Is too deeply
stirred, the Negroes too deter
mined to achieve full citizen
ship.
The issue splits the Demo-
cratic Party, admittedly. And
waiting In the wings are Sem
ate Majority Leader Lyndon
johnson and his .centrist bloc
ready to step over a fallen Ste
venson and tear the nominal
ton from Kefauver's grasp. For
the Tennessee Senator is the
least acceptable candidate Of
all to his colleagues.
A few more days are needed
for perspective on the present
uproar, but the dangerous pitt
fall will remain at least until
the national convention is
ended.

Since this has not been the

some appeasement on both

been secretly negotiating be-
hind their backs with the Nazi
government in Berlin.
The Russian objective. Of
course. was to make sure. by
collision with the Nazis, that
Poland would fall into the
hands Of the Soviet rulers. The
British had objected to a Rus
sian request to permit an in
vasion of Poland's sovereignty
So Moscow promptly made a
bargain with Hitler which al
lowed the Russians to grab not
only a large part Of the Polish
territory but also Lithuania,
Estonia and Latvia, which had
been independent. In exchange,
Russia was to refrain from
helping Britain and France.
When Hitler became tired Of
the constant pressure from
Moscow throughout 1910 and
l941 to extort from him more
and more concessions to Soviet
power in the Balkans, he de-
cided that he. too, had been
doublecrossed. He then ordered
the attack on the Soviets in
June. l94l. This forced an alli-
ance of convenience between
the Soviet Union and Britain
and later with the United
States as Japan in December,
l941, forced America into the
war by an attack on Pearl
Harbor. An uneasy alliance
prevailed as the Communist
regime pressed constantly for
more and more authority over
central Europe and finally
got at Yalta. early in 1945,
concessions from Britain and
the United States which en-
abled the Moscow government
to achieve a stranglehold on
Poland and subsequently the
Balkans.
So "nonaggresSion" pacts to
which the Russians are sigma
toriessare merely devices to adj
vance the territorial and politi-
cal interests Of the expanding
empire Of the Soviet Union
an aggressor government which
has been guilty of repeated
acts Of duplicity and faithless-
ness for more than % years.

DOROTHY THOMPSON

It seemed to me, reading
somewhat between the lines,
that the joint statement Of
President Eisenhower and Sir
Anthony Eden last week was
as important for what it did
not commit itself to. as for
what it did. These things are
a matter of tone. 1t reafflrmed
policies but. l thought. with
a shade Of reservation that
does not preclude further ne
gotiations.
The statement reaffirmed
the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization as essential to
common Western security but
made the most fortnight pos
sible pledge that the West
would never initiate violence"
and rejected amy thought"
that the cleavage between the
West and the Soviets) should
be resolved by force. In stress
ing that NATO was more than
a military alliance and devoted
to political and other consulta-
tons, it seemed to suggest that
under more favorable interna-
tional conditions the military
aspects might fade into rela-
tive insigniflcance.
Also on the German ques-
ton the statement stressed
reunification under an all
German representative and
therefore legitimate govern
ment without emphasizing the
military alliance.
On the Arab-Israel conflict
the statement refused to COM
nit itself to supporting the
present positions of either side,
saying that no settlement
could be obtained without both
sides making concessions. This
will disappoint Israels parti-
sans here who want arms and
a security treaty with the
United States with no strings
attached. which would GER
tainly destroy any possibilities
of the West successfully offer
ing its good Offices.

gested that the U. N. Truce

US. Wise to Red Propaganda Value
Any Buiqonin Pact Would Contain

"You are aware that the
Anglo rench-Soviet negotia-
lions for the conclusion Of q
pact of mutual assistance
against aggression in Europe
began as far back as April last.
-. The negotiations continued
four months. d. These nego-
tiations encountered the OBJ
stacle that Poland, which was
to have been guarantee d
jointly by England. France
and the USSR, refused to
accept military assistance on
the part of the Soviet
Union.
THE resolve to conclude a
nonaggression pact between
the USSR and Germany was
adopted after the military con-
versations with England and
France had reached a dead
lock, owing to the insuperable
difficulties mentioned above. &.
People are naively asking:
How could the Soviet Union
bring itself to improve its
political relations with a Fas-
cist form of government? Can
this really be possible? They
forget. however, that it is not
a question of our relations
with the internal arrange
ments of another country but
of the external relations be-
tween two governments. -.
IN our external policy to-
ward non-Soviet countries, We
have always followed. and still
follow, the well-known prin-
ciple of Lenin-the principle
of the peaceful coexistence of
the Soviet government and
capitalist countries"
The next day-September /.
1939-Hitler invaded Poland
and World War II began.
The British and French
were stunned by the announce
ment of the signing of the
pact. Their military mission
was, still in Moscow, where it
had been for four months en-
gagged in friendly conversations
with the Moscow government
while the Communists had

operate without being sus-
pected. They are In the Quai

repeatedly in sensitive spots.
These striped-pants men have
no connection whatsoever with

enjoy all privileges Of legiti-

directly with Foreign Minister
Molotov's top aides.
The role of these personages
Is not to disseminate Com
munist propaganda. This is
left to other local organs and
to the intellectual dupes in all
walks Of life. The job Of the
fourth bureau agents is to dis

their own government and
communicate to Moscow what
steps are indicated to further
in every possible manner the

cies of the Kremlin.

may be able to break the story
Of the role played by Burgess
and Maclean in Communist
China's active intervention In
the Korean war. These two
agents are now In Moscow.
Maclean, the brainier Of the
two, is believed by some mem
beers of our embassy staff in
the Soviet capital to be an
important adviser to Molotov
and to have inspired the pres
ent Soviet policies in the Mid

President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles will
not be in a hurry to answer
the second Bulganin note. be-
cause they perceive clearly the
propaganda nature of the doc
ument.
For the Soviet Union has a
selfish objective in proposing a
"nonaggression" pact to the
United States at this time. It
is assumed by Moscow that. if
such a pact were signed. Amer
lea would be compelled by
world opinion to stop all ex-
perimentation with a atom C
weapons and to abandon all
overseas bases. This would
grant to the SovietS a free
hand secretly to continue de-
velopment of atomic bombs
and also would give them un-
disputed control of bases of
their own in satellite coun-
tries from the Baltic to the
Pacific.
Again and again the Soviet
Union has used the device of
a "nonaggression" pact to Sc
cure particular detectives bene-
fetal to it in foreign policy.
This writer happened over
the week end to be studying
a thick volume issued by the
British Foreign Office entitled
Documents on British Foreign
ePolicy - 1919 to 1885," and
came across the text of very
interesting speech by Molotov
then. as now, the Soviet
foreign minister. 1t was de-
hvered on August 81, 1889, be-
fore the Supreme Council of
the USSR and was unani-
mously approved, A "nonag-
erosion" pact between the
Soviet Union and the Nazi
government in Berlin had just
been signed on August %. The
reasoning in the Molotov
speech is revealing, and some
of it's phrases are the same
familiar ones which still come
from the Kremlin. Molotov
said in part:

CONSTANTINE BROWN
A Look at Soviet Spy System

Arabs with offers of arms and
economic support.
There is unquestionably a
change of strategy in Moscow's
policies toward all the free
countries in the Middle East.
Until recently the mailed fist
attitude was in order In Mos
cows dealings with the Arabs,
Turks, Iranians and Pakista-
mis-. The signing of the Bagh-
dad pact involving Britain and
the northern tier of countries
adjoining the Soviet Union was
a iswered with threatening
sputterings from Moscow. But
suddenly the tactics changed
and instead of threats the gov
ernments at Ankara, Teheran
and Karachi were told that
the USSR is willing to sup
ply them with the type OF
financial and economic aid
which the United States is re-
luctant to give them.
Previous threats against the
Middle East are being replaced
by cooings not because the
USSR lacks the power to
blackmail those countries but
because the Red dictatorship
believes that soporifics are best
against our allies.
Apparently there is in the
files of the State Department
some information concerning
the activities of the two Brit
ish traitors and other mem
bers of the fourth bureau. But
for fear that public disclosures
might disturb international re-
lations. the State Department
has been reluctant so far to

The fourth bureau" is the
most important branch of the
Soviet espionage system. While
nominally belonging to the
secret police tMVD), it is actu-
ally directed under orders of
and responsible to the foreign
minister personally.
The bureaus membership is
not restricted to Russians and
satellite citizens. 1t has valu-
able native agents in all West
ern countries. There are strong
indications, for instance, that
Donald Maclean and Guy
Burgess, the two high British
Foreign Office officials who
fed to Moscow on the eve of
their arrest by Scotland Yard
three years ago, were employees
of the fourth bureau.
The Senate Internal Secu-
rity Committee headed by
Senator Eastland has resumed
hearings on Communist tactics
and strategies intended to de-
bllitate the resistance to Com
munist Imperialism in the
United States. During the next
few weeks it will hear testi-
mony from a series of qualified
witnesses on operations of the
fourth bureau. The purpose of
these Investigations is to in
