Library News
(8y the Staff

Now here is a book that seems
to be making great numbers of the
general public sit up and take not
ice. The proof of that is its posi-
tion as No. l non-fiction best sell
er for the past several weeks.
The book is 1.-The Hidden Per-
suaders" by Vance Packard.
Why is it attracting so much at
tention? ? Well have you ever wond-
cred why it is when you go to the
grocery you reach for a certain
brand of soap, soup or whatever.
1t is because OF the hidden per-
suaders.
And why did a certain great
automobile corporation go way
down in sales not so long ago, but
a complete refining of their new
model put them back among the
cars selling the largest output?
The Hidden Persuaders" will
explain these things. Some of the
highest paid psychologists in our
nation are using their knowledge
of what motivates us to buy GER
tain things, to help the sales of our
great corporations and make us
feel we must buy thei rproducts.
1t really makes one pause to
wonder, and may your wonder
lead yo uto the West jefferson
Public Library to obtain this new
book.

Khrushchev Opens Up Opportunity

tration camps today because
they tried to speak their minds
or because they were suspected
Of holding political views diff
fering from those of the gov
erning body. Actually. there
is only one political view per-
mitted expression in the Soviet
Union, only one political party
that may have its name on the
ballot, and only one clique
that directs the destinies of
millions of people.
Internal strength is possible
for the Soviet Union only If
the government gradually i'm
proves the economic lot Of the
people there. This cannot be
done while a threat Of war
hangs over the country and
there is need for money and
labor to build armament.
What Khrushchev is really
after is a breathing spell. He
breaches "coexistence" as a
sort Of armistice proposal. But
the cold war" will go on be-
cause the Communists never
keep their word. They are
violating the armiStice in
Korea, for instance. every day
of the year. Certainly the
Kremlin would prefer not to
fight any big war, believing
indeed that it can obtain its
supremacy throughout the
world by infiltration and in
trigue inside weaker countries.
But it wants disarmament
as a means Of assuring that 1t
will not be interfered with in
a military way while it seeks
to obtain its detectives through
operations in the free coun-
tries. This is the big cold
war" operation on which the
Communists are spending bill
lions of dollars in propaganda.
IT would be interesting to
see whether the Soviets will
give the world another proof
of how one-sided and faith
less are their proposals. Does
the Kremlin really dare to let
the truth penetrate the Iron
Curtain" through an address
by an American spokesman
who would present the anti
Communist side of the argu-
ment directly to the Soviet
people?

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Renewal of Trade Relations Damages
Vests Position Vis-o-Vis the Communists

Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd felt compelled to take
the trade step-even at the
risk of further disrupting
American British relations
because of internal politics.
The Conservative Party is slip
ping badly in popular esteem
and resumption of trade with
China is popular not only with
the British induStrialists and
bankers but also with the rank
and file of labor. Thus to our
pleas to at least delay the
move we received the answer:
Sorry indeed, but it must be
done"
The decision of the British
government on China is worry
ing our policy makers not so
much because the Peiping re-
gime has obtained a political
victory over us but because it
shows to the world that West
ern unity is breaking at the
seams. This is inherent to the
democratic system in which
every unit of an alliance pre-
serves the right to do what
ever is best for its own inter-
est. There is no teamwork in
alliances between countries
with democratic systems ex-
cept possibly under actual war
conditions. But when the guns
are stilled even temporarily.
each wants to do exactly as it
wishes and thinks best for its
own interests.
1t was the democratic con-
cept" which caused the British
government in the late fall of
1850 to prevail upon President
Truman a nd Secretary of
State Acheson to go easy on
the Chinese who had joined
the battle in Korea. 1t was
only after Prime Minister
Clement Attlee rushed to visit
