Nixon's Warning to NeutroIs

ern Europe can breathe Sc
curely today. These are the
facts. Yet the agents of Com
munist colonialism have the
supreme audacity to suggest to
the ancient and honored ma
tions of the East that our
offers of help are form of
imperialism"
The Vice President said that
Americans believed in the right
of each nation to chart its
own course and. for reasons of
its own, perhaps proximity to
the enemy. to refrain from
military associations with any
other nations, and that this
was understandable neutrality.
Then, however, he added:
But there is still another
brand of ira ism that
makes no moral distinction be-
tween the Communist world
and the free world. With this
viewpoint, we have no SYM
pathy. How can we feel to-
ward those who treat alike
nations that believe in God
and honor. religion and moral
ity, and nations that boast OF
atheism and the rule of force
and terror alone? How can
anyone treat as equals those
who believe in the dignity of
man and the basic rights of all
men, and those who treat their
subjects as mere machines? Is
democracy to be equated with
dictatorship? Is freedom the
same as tyranny?
There are faults in the ma
lions of the free world, and
we all know and deplore them.
But can anything that we have
done compare with the history
of communism recently por-
trayed by Nikita Khrushchev
himself? The Communists have
convicted themselves. out Of
their own mouths. Even their
lackeys. the Communist par
ties throughout the world,
have been forced to repudiate
publicly this shameful rec

Nixon will be heard round the

Once again the Democrat
Party in Congress has de-
cided to seize upon and pro-
iect further the vision first
ellmpsed by "a Republican
President half-a-century ago
- Theodore Roosevelt - and
transferred into reality on
several fronts by two of its
own Presidents, Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Harry S. Tru-
man.
This is the public develop
ment of our great river sys-
TENS for reclamation, naviga-
ton and production of hydro
electric power which has been
Stifled by the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. Instead, the
present administration has
devised something it calls
the partnership policy
which in most cases would
mean that waterpower sites
still not utilized would be
handed over to private power
companies to exploit for fancy
profits through high rates
charged the consumers for
electricity.
In no other area has the
Eisenhower administ i o n
surrendered so Supinely to big
business and finance, with
which the vast monopoly is
interwined. Luckily for con-
sumers. this attempted hand
out has been dramatiZed by
an inconsistency that even a

May and was recently reported
ably to the House by its

AS to the Niagara project.

Public development through

sponsors as a means Of provid-
ing low-cost electricity over a
wide area, including Pennsyl-
vania and much of Ohio. as
we'll as New York. At the pres
ent time, rates in New York
are much higher than those
across the border in Canada.
In 1852. for example, in To-
ronto. the average home used
367 kilowatt hours month at
a cost of 1881, while in RO-
chester 100 kilowattS cost $436.
Or compare Windsor, Canada,
200 miles from Niagara Falls,
where average home use was
286 kilowatt hours a month at
a cost of S3.65. with New York
City. where the average home
paid $4.44 for only 100 kilowatt
hours. So the comparison goes
across the border wherever
you choose to pick your sam
piles, New York rates have been
increased still further since
1852.
Both the Niagara and Hell's

sound, Self-liquidating enter
prises. The savings by the eco
nomic operation possible in
each would mean much to the
consumers budget in this era
of high-living costs. There
seems no reason why a great
country such as ours could not
do as much for its people in
reducing electric utility costs
as does Canada, where public
development of its water re-
sources is so long established
that it is taken for granted as
the only sensible way.

Will American tax dollars
pledged to foreign aid be given
in the near future to Commu-
mist countries after they "es-
tablish" that they are not I'M
der Moscows discipline?
This question is being raised
by members of the House and
Senate Appropriations Com
mitteeS in their discussions
with top officials of the State
Department.
Furthermore. it is asked
whether the move to transfer
some part of American eco
nomic help to the United Ma
tons for distribution to its
members will allow countries
such as Communist China to
receive a share after she has
been admitted to that organ
lZation.
These questions would have
sounded silly a few months
ago, Who in Washington would
have conceived the notion that
this country might be pre-
pared to send military equip
ment to a satellite country?
The case of YugoSlavia was
clear-cut in the past. She was
a Communist country under
threat of being conquered
militarily by the USSR be-
cause of the personal feud be-
tween Stain and Tito. The
foreign-aid program was in
tended, to help all countries
willing to fight the Red bloc
in the event of Muscovite ag-
erosion. There was no doubt
that despite the fact that the
Be- grad e government was
communistic, YugoSlavia was
qualified to receive our assist
ance although she refused to
join NATO. She was ready to
oppose the Soviets and its
satellites, arms in hand.
But the situation changed
recently after. Khrushchev
and Tito exchanged visits and
Tito did not balk when Zhu-
kov mentioned that the two
countries would be fighting

tinuation of military and
economic aid to Yugoslavia; ;

Jews who want to emigrate to
Israel.
Moroccan Jews. according to
Zionist leaders here, have a
centuries old orientation toward
Palestine. Right now. they say,
10000 of Morocco's 100000 Jews
are actively seeking TO emigrate
and have qualified for aid from
the international Zionist organi-
cation, Cadima.
Mass Emigration Banned
But the Moroccan government
early this month ordered Cadima
officials to stop their emigration
aid program and leave the coun-
try. Cadima spokesman SAID
that would in effect ban emigra-

the Kremlin (as if he had not
returned there this year..
On the basis of this unique
diplomatic concept. State De-
partment officials do not deny
that a country which is a
satellite today could obtain
military equipment from us
merely by stating that it is
no longer under Kremlin dis
cipline. Poland and CZecho-
slovakia are the most likely
candidates to dip into Amer
lean treasures. They could,
without severing their ties
with the Kremlin. claim as
Tito does that they are in
dependent" Communist gov
ernments affiliated with but
not subordinated to the
USSR. Since Soviet troops are
no longer visible on their ter
ritory their claim might be
accepted at face value as the
Belgrade claim is at present.
Thus we might be placed
in a position worse than that

This concept sprang from
Italian President Gronchi and
French Foreign Minister

their project at length with

throughout the world by the

the U. N. Acceptance of this
concept would have been bad
politics in an election year.
All the same, it appears that
some prominent members OF
the American delegation at the
U. N. as we'll as number Of
influential personalities in the
administration see some good
in this proposal.
State Department officials
are reluctant to discuss
whether Communist China,
once admitted to the u. NJ,
would be entitled to American
economic support under the
terms Of this proposition,
regardless of how belligerent
and tyrannical she continues
to be. All that is said is that
once a country is accepted as
a member of that world organ
iZation it cannot be discrimi-
mated against in matters such
as assistance, relief. ETC., under
the u. N. charter and bylaws.
According to the statement
by Sir Anthony Eden at the
Prime Ministers conference in
London. the question of the
admission of Communist China
to the U. N will become hot
matter as soon as our presi-
dental election is over. The
State Department knows that
it cannot count any longer
on Britain's supporting US to
shelve again the demand Of
the Red and Arab-Asian bloc

Vice President NiXone made
in Manila on the Fourth Of
July the greatest speech of his
career. In many respects 1t
was the most important speech
that has yet been delivered by
any American in addressing
the so-called neutral" world.
1t was doubly important be-
cause President Eisenhower
specifically requested Nixon to
60 on his present trip to Asia.
1t is a speech that Nehru OF
India and Sukarno of 1ndo-
nesia might well read over and
over again. 1t contains the best
answer to "neutralism" that
has been made. 1t sets forth
what the United States stands
for and proclaims, in direct
contradiction of Soviet propa-
eanda. a policy of unSelfiSh-
ness and altruism-but a tact
full reminder at the same time
that there can be no neutral
ity between right and wrong,
Succinctly. the Nixon speech
contrasts Soviet colonialiSm
with its brutishnesS and tyr
amy and the enlightened cap
italiSm that has lifted so many
small nations up to the point
where they now can govern
themselves. The Vice President
didn't mention the names of
any of the "uncommitted'
countries, but he refuted
effectively the Communist
inspired propaganda that
America wants only military
alliances and merely desires
to win satellites. both politi-
cal and economic.
Nixon discussed ahead of
time with the Department of
State some of the general
ideas that he expressed, but he
wrote the speech himself.
There have been some mis-
understandings about "neu-
trality" due to some incom-
plete remarks by the President
