saying the United States could
go right on with her prepara-
tons anyway and then, If
Russia didn't keep her word,
the tests could be resumed and
no time would be lost. This is
tantamount to suggesting that
the United States would agree
to stop the tests and would
actually break faith by pre-
pairing for the tests anyhow.
AS matter of fact, such prep
arations would be useless with
out constant tests of some
kind. Scientists cannot work
in the dark in preparing for
tests they don't know they
will be permitted to make.
Another fallacy exists among
the defeatists who want TO
place American security in
jeopardy by putting trust in
Russian talk about banning
tests. 1t has, for example, been
said by Stevenson and others
that, if Soviet Russia broke
faith and did do some testing.
this would be promptly de-
tected. But the truth is tests

amounts to is this: Soviet

If an easily deluded man is

result.
Tests are necessary in order
to determine not merely how
to drop bombs in a war

Allies Seen in Course Away from u. S.
Within 2 Months After Suez Crisis

There is no doubt that
both our presidential candi-
dates enjoy a good deal of
popularity in Europe. Presi-
dent Eisenhower, because he
was supreme commander dur
ing the war, is better known
than Adlai Stevenson. who
has been recommended to the
European people by their press
as the exponent of socialism
in our tim e in the United
States. And socialism is gain
ing ground everywhere across
the Atlantic.
But despite the popularity
of the contenders, which rem
ders Europe today indifferent
as to who will be the next
American President, the pres
tige of and reliance on our
foreign policies are dwindling
rapidly. This fact would not
have mattered 20 years ago
when the antics of the Euro
pean peoples were merely in
teresting news items to the
average American and had
nothing to do with the securi-
ty of this Nation.
Since the end Of the last
war our political leaders have
convinced the American peo-
pie that without the Western
European wall we would be
severely and directly exposed
to an onslaught from Russia,
the Frankenstein monster we
built in the war period against
the better Judgment of many.
More than 500 billion has
been spent in the last 10 years
for the military and economic
recovery of our allies and
friends across the Atlantic.
This is-so Europe believes
now-the only leadership we
have provided to the free
world. There has been, they
say with a degree of justice,
no political leadership. In this
we have failed them and our
selves.
Since the end of the Korean
War, that 'laSt act of mis-
guided courage" as the leaders
in London and Paris style our

that proposals for a prohibit

are being debated in the presi-

worldwide attention.
For years-in fact, ever since
the Russians themselves tested
their first A-bomb in l949--
an insidious campaign, mostly
through left wing" circles, has
been carried on in the forums
of world opinion in an attempt
to bring about an ending of the
tests.
The Daily Worker"-the
Communist organ in New York
and other Communist party
newspapers abroad have for
several years harped on the
issue of A-bomb tests. Now
that Adlai Stevenson has given
prominence in his own speeches
to the idea of banning H

press is playing up everything

What is back of the steady
effort of the Moscow regime
to focus attention on H-bomb

constant emphasis on the sup

The answer lies in the field
of military strategy. When the
United States dropped the
atom bomb on Japan. Soviet
Russia didn't have the weapon
and for a long time thereafter
the American and British posi-
ton was that the possession of
this bomb served as a deter
rent in preventing Communist
armies from overrunning Eu-
rope. Winston Churchill made
that very statement in one of
his important speeches in the
postwar years.

The influence Of big business
on the Eisenhower administra-
ton is becoming major issue
as the presidential campaign
enters its final stages. This is
demonstrated not only in
comments from voters re-
ported in numerous polls. but
also in the defensive attitude
Of Republican campaigners
who suddenly have awakened
TO it.
This is a subject, however.
which President Eisenhower
has avoided treating in any de-
tail in his defense Of his adj
ministration. In giving what
he calls the true facts" about
the administration record. he
has omitted the true facts"
about big business influence
which are obvious to anyone
who knows from long observa-
ton how big business operates

"true facts" as have been re-

themselves announced in 1949
that they had IAN atomic
weapon. they knew that they
couldn't manufacture them in
the quantity or variety the
United States could. The mill
tary strategists of the Moscow
regime knew also that, if they
could prevent further develop
ment in America through
tests, this would afford the
Soviet Union a big advantage
in the next war.
The Stevenson idea of a one
sided ban on superbomb tests
is not altogether new. It so
happened that. inside the
Atomic Energy Commission
during the Truman admins
tration, there was a hesitancy
to develop the H-bomb. The
lag of nearly three years was
costly to America. The argu-
ment was supposedly based on
the moral side. and some of
the scientists indirectly con-
nected with Communist causes
were lined up against further
work on the H-bomb. Hence
America from 1916 to early
1850 virtually put a Self-im-
posed ban on developing or
testing H-bombs while Russia
went ahead with the develop
ment of bombs of all kinds and
was thereby able to adopt a
belligerent attitude in the
cold war" and even to insti-
gate Red Chinese aggression in
Korea.
1t was suggested in April of
this year in a public speech
by Adlai Stevenson tn a t
America should halt the test
ing on her own and wait and
see what Russia did. The argu-
ment he made was that, of
course. the United States could
later reconsider" and resume
the testing if Russia made any
more tests. President Eisen-
hover has answered this by re-
vealing that it takes months
of preparation for the tests
and that valuable time would
be lost if America refrained
and then waited to see what
Russia would do.
