He began with the financial

Of his long and close associa-
ton with Bernard M. Baruch,
the economic elder statesman.
Gore substituted a tax plan
for the Presidents proposal to
raise the money by floating
bonds. After that he worked
out the compromises.
A public power advocate. be-
ing from the Tennessee VAL
ley, Gore has also been push
ing for Federally- built atomic
power plants. The Central In
telligence Agency has backed
his contention that this coun-
try is tagging in that field be-
hind the Soviets.
Gore and Kefauver have
both behaved with great cir
cumspection toward each
other. Gore will no doubt
stand aloof at Chicago until
the senior Senator's fate is
settled.
The Kefauver-style cam
paign against Adlai Steven

Opportunism of Soviet Strotegists

ing from Shanghai to Gibral-
tar and involving over 500 mil
lion people. The map of
Europe, Africa and Asia is be-
ing forcibly redrawn. The en-
tire postwar system, the So
called regime Of peace. has
been shaked to its foundations.
"How is it that the nom
aggressive countries, which
possess such vast opportunities,
have SO easily, and without
any resistance, abandoned their
positions and their obligations
to please the aggressors?
rs it to be attributed to the
weakness of the non-aggres-
sive states? OF course not.
Combined, the non-aggressive,
democratic states are unques-
tionably stronger than the
fascist states. both economi-
cally and militarily.
1.-THE chief reason is that
the majority of the non-ag-
gressive countries. particularly
England and France, have re-
jected the policy of collective
security, the policy of collec-
tive resistance to the agrees
sors. and have taken UP a posi-
ton of non-intervention. A
position Of neutrality
THE policy of non-inter-
vention means conniving at
aggression, giving free rein to
war, and, consequently, trans
forming the war into a World
War.
THE policy of non-interven-
ton reveals a desire not to
hinder the aggreSSors in their
nefarious work to allow all
the belligerentS to sink deeply
into the mire of war and
then when they become weak
enough, to appear on the scene
with fresh strength, to appear,
of course in the interests of
peace and to dictate condi-
tions to the enfeebled belliger-
ents. Cheap and eaSy!"
Yet just a few months later,
in the same year, Stain, dis
couraged by the appeasement
policies of the Western democ-
racieS, removed Litvinov as
foreign minister, put in Molo-
tov and then joined Hitler and
invaded Finland only to find
himself in June 1941 attacked
by the Nazi military machine
itself.
The world, therefore, has to
accustom itself to the fact that
moves reported nowadays in
the censored news dispatches
which come out of Moscow do
not mean what they say on
their face.
They are merely instruments
of the strategy followed by
Lenin from the very beginning
"a strategy which considers
that lying and distortion are
not Immoral" but simply a
means to justify the end
sought.

Language Seen as Barrier to Success
Of Eisenhower Idea of Personal Contact

period and at a lower rate of

per cent down. the balance in

and shipping lines. This would
be a popular move since the
taxpayer himself would get a
break.
But even then the language
barrier might present some
difficulty in making every
American who goes overseas
into a goodwill ambassador.
We have already initiated a
move to sell America abroad
by sending operate companies
which have successfully pro-
duced "Porgy and Bess" on
both sides of the Iron Cur
tain. American symphonic or
cheStras as we'll as "hot" mu-
sic players and choral groups

Europe and Asia, assisted by

ident Eisenhower's words are
interpreted, would be a kind

such as the man in the side

Italian, German or Greek
neighbor. The American would,
of course, be prepared ideologi-
cally to tell the foreigner about
the great American ideals "of
understanding among peoples
and to build a common effort
to advance world peace" as
President Eisenhower has
stated.
But he must know his hosts
language before he can convey
the great message. Will the
30 experienced men who are
meeting in Washington next
month suggest that language
classes be started and tourists
who do not graduate be denied
passports? This difficulty could.
of course, be overcome by COL

Officials in Washington hail
President Eisenhower's sug-
gestion that all Americans
who go abroad should become
ambassadors of goodwill ito
help make the truth of our
peaceful goals and our respect
for the rights of others known
to more people overseas.
To implement this idea the
White House has selected a
group of 80 individuals to meet
in Washington next month.
They represent all walks of
life except the newspaper pro-
fession which has been
overlooked, although news
papermen who have served in
foreign countries doubtless
understand foreign mentality
better than artists, business
men, scientists, politicians and
even diplomats.
The Eisenhower plan will
have to be thoroughly studied
to make it workable. At first
glance it would appear that
collectivized travel might be
in order in preference to indi-
vidual travel. 1t would be hard
to control the individual tour
ist who might not be imbued
with the spirit of brother
hood" when, for instance, he
is exhilarated by the heady
French wine or the superla-
tive but potent German beer.
What would happen to the
official American message of
goodwill if a taxi driver in
Rome or Milan, for instance,
overcharges outrageously his
American passenger who in
turn takes a poke at the driver
during the argument? Hence
it is expected. that the heads
of tourist agencies will urge
group travel be greatly en-
couraged instead of individual
roaming by tourists who may
not be good ambassadors.
Collective trips overseas
could be encouraged by loans
from some newly created Fed
eral agency which would lend

Value Of Group Tours Overseas

the interpreter of the group
he is shepherding.
There should also be instruO-
tions to the future millions Of
ambassadors Of goodwill about
temper control. Europe, in par
ticular, is very nationaliStic.
What will the reaction of an
American of German stock be
If he is told by his French
table neighbor that the
'Boche" is only a good for
nothing so-and-so?
And what would happen to
an American of Greek extrac-
ton who. while slipping the
syrupy black brew of a Turk
ish coffee house, is told that
the Greeks are a bunch Of
"villainous and treacherous
cutthroats" as this reporter was
told during his recent trip in
that area? 1t might be just
as well if our citizens did not
learn foreign languages and
listened to their hosts through
automatically trained tour
escorts.
AS a matter of fact. Ameri-
can tourists have already be-
come goodwill ambassadors not
through any official dictate
but on their own. They offer
the peoples in the countries
they visit-which these days is
practically the whole globe
something that the natives
want more than words: Ameri-
can dollars.
The new type of tourist is
no longer the boisterous kind
with thousands of dollars in
his pocket. The bulk are stu
dents. teachers and little
folks" with limited means.
They are mostly earnest and
anxious to learn from the rich
history of the countries they
visit. The proportion of Ameri-
cans who frequent the gyp
night clubs in Rome, Paris and
other European capitals is far
below that of the Germans
and Latin Americans. The OPP
posite was true in the past.
All in all it could be said
that American tourists are
doing a pretty good job these
days without official advice and
sponsorship.

Russian Expert in Washington
Analyses MoIotoy's Resignation

republics-Azerbaijan.
News of the executions was

question.

might mean that the present

of itself and more inclined to

cessions to the people,"
Are we in any way helping

yes. The Soviet govern

so every time the United
States plays up to the men in
the Kremlin. either by send

fraternizing with them, the
Soviet rulers gain a big ad-
vantage inside Russia"
1t seems to be generally
agreed now by Russian experts
here that although the "cult of
Stain" is being denounced by
the Soviet propaganda ma
chine, the cult Of Lenin"
is being built up. The Lenin
doctrines, of course, are just
as Machiavellian as those of
Stain.
An example of the opportun-
ism of the Kremlin is to be
noted from a rereading of Sta
Inns speech of March 10, 1889,
to the 18th Congress of the
Communist Party. 1t is inter-
esting to compare Stains ar
guments against "neutralism"
with what today are called the
policies of the "uncommitted"
countries.
With a substitution of so

Humanity of George Washington Seen
Vanishing in World of Borborionism

The celebration in London
of the 300th anniversary of
the First or Grenadier Regi-
ment of foot guards" has I'M
earthed a letter to an officer
of that regiment, written by
George Washington on No
vember Is, 1882.
Those devoted to the notion
of perpetual human progress
should ponder this letter, writ
ten during war decisive for
the infant American republic.
The British had executed an
American prisoner. a Captain
Haidy. an action that was con-
sidered an enormity, and a re-
prisal was ordered against a
British prisoner Of equal rank.
Lots were drawn, the fatal
number falling to a Captain
Asgill, and a gallows marked
with his name was erected.
But in the newly founded
Congress a distaste for this
measure manifested itself, and
General Washington was in
structed to free him. There
must have been considerable
debate before the decision was
reached. for Washington, in
communicating it to the pris-
oner. regrets "the disagreeable
circumstances in which you
have so long BEEN" assuring
the Briton, waiting for death,
that delays in acting upon his
letter pleading for clemency

DAVID LAWRENCE

How easy it is to FOOL the
American people with those
censored dispatches from Mos
COW telling about the "resig-
nation" of Molotov! At least
so reason the strategists in
the Kremlin in their campaign
to make the world believe the
leopard is changing its spots.
But it takes a Russian to de-
bunk a Russian move.
Here is what one of the best
informed and keenest of the
Russians in Washington told
this correspondent over the
week end:
'Molotov wasn't dismissed
and he wasn't necessarily
downgraded. He is still one Of
the ii members of the Presid-
ium-the ruling clique of the
Soviet Union today. He is a
part of the so-called collective
leadership
While Molotov publicly
asked to be relieved of the for
eign ministry, it must be noted
that for more than a year
Khrushchev and Bulganin
have really been directing for
eign policy.
When Molotov gives up the
post of foreign minister, it is
as if the prime minister of a
Western country who has taken
on an extra cabinet post re-
linquishes it to attend to other
duties.
"On the surface it would APP
pear that Molotov gave up the
post of foreign minister to
produce a certain effect on
Tito and the outside world and
also internally to give the i'm
preston that a Stalinite was
being removed. But Molotov
is still a member of the Pre-
sidium and also is first deputy
premier.
THE fight for power inside
the Kremlin still goes on.
Remember that Malenkov
stepped down from the Pre-
miership but remains as a
member of the Presidium and
went to England recently on a
formal visit. It is not clear yet
what the balance of forces is or
is going to be inside the
PreSidium.
What is the meaning of
the changes just announced
concerning the system of JUS
tice?" I asked.
1T doesn't mean very much
the top officials are still in
control. Only the other day
we read of the execution
of Bajuriof, who at the 10th
party Congress had been
elected all alternate member
of the Presidium. Three of his
associates also we're executed.
He was known as "a Little

petition Of those enormities
which have been the subject
OF discussion; and that this
important end is likely to be
answered without the effusion
of the blood of an innocent
person Is not a greater relief
to you, than it is to, sir, your
most obedient and humble
servant, George Washington"
No one will pretend that
Washington and the armies
that fought at Valley Forge
were "softies." But this let
ter breathes the fragrance of
a humane and chivalrous ethic
that was soon to die, not on
the battlefields Of the Ameri-
can Revolution, but on the
guillotines of the French.
Capt. Asgill was an enemy,
but he was also a man, guilty
OF no infringement Of the
codes Of war. The execution of
the American captain was
rightly construed as an
"enormity," but the American
aim was to end, not COM
pound, such enormities.
One observes the noble re-
strictions that these men set
upon their behavior. If victory
were to be achieved at the sac
rifice Of all the imperatives
that hold men together in a
common continuity Of tradi-
ton and restraint, what con-
tent Of value would the victory
hold?
George Washington's letter
has been preserved for TIA
years. But the spirit that die
tated II has not been.

cept Of terror as an instrument
Of war, and 1t has never
