DOROTHY THOMPSON :
Underground Preparation by Reds
Before Public Move Is Anolyzed

The Soviet school child
does his homework, and so
does the Russian Foreign
Office. The speech delivered
to the Supreme Soviet by
Foreign Minister Andrea
Gromyko. announcing Rus
sia's unilateral suspension Of
atomic testings, shows every
evidence of the most careful
and deliberate preparation,
with a view to producing
the widest possible effect
throughout the world.
The Russian government.

Man concept of "Open Diplo-
macy Openly Arrived At" is
exercising it with great in
telligence. One may call it
propaganda" but all diplo-
macy directed at influencing

widely different peoples is
propaganda, and in a time
governed to an immeaSurable
extent by popular commune
cation propaganda is in
extricable from diplomacy
and even craftsmanship.
To exercise this effectively
requires first OF all a very
clear purpose. The Soviet
purpose is to disarm its OPP
ponents, guard its security.
and extend its dominion by
political-psychological means
that exclude war.
To succeed in this, 1t is
necessary to follow with the
most scrupulous care and
continuity the political, So
cial and psychological trends
everywhere; to analyze pre-
cisely the weaknesses and
strengths of ones opponents;
to know exactly where an
idea will find allies; even to
pipe down the allies one
has. If these, upon DELHI

New Judicial Oath

The Stars editorial. New
Judicial Oath" was especial
ly interesting to me. The new
oath is that recently framed
by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee requiring appointees
to the Federal bench to take
an additional oath that they
will abide by the oath taken
upon induction to the bench.
Is not this requisition, an
oath to abide by an oath.
ridiculous on its face?
What the Judiciary Com
miStee has achieved. besides
a masterpiece of humor, is
a charge by implication that
the Supreme Court in the
last 10 years has been decld-
ing many important cases
contrary to accepted legal
principles of construction
If this charge OF the Senate
Judiciary Committee can be
established. proved by legal
procedure, then all members
of the present court concur
ring in such cases have vlo-
lated their oaths to support
the Constitution taken on
induction, are guilty Of the
highest malfeasance, and are
subject to impeachment.
There is not the slightest
chance of such a result. little
chance the court will even
heed the strong tide Of
criticism against it, though
led now by the Senate Judi
ciary Committee.
Eight years ago I resigned
as a member of the bar OF
the Supreme Court, presum-
ably the first of its bar to
do so. I have had no regrets
since then, but on the con-
trary have felt an increased
satisfaction Herewith. that

criticism of the court Today
it is gratifying to have my
course justified by the action

Such diplomacy must also

Displaced Arobs

Abraham c. Weinfeld in a
letter takes issue with Vera
v. Duvall. who gave the i'm
preston. as he says. that the
Jews drove the Arabs from
their homes in Palestine. He
states quite categorically:
THE opposite is the truth"
and follows with a lucid. de-
tailed account of what actu-
ally took place. Jewish au-
thorities urged the Arabs to
stay put. but to no avail"
This sounds like some inside
information on the subject. I
got the impression Mr.. Vein
field was an eyewitness. even
though he does not say so nor
does he give any source for
such new information.
Ihave just finished reading
Sir John Bagot Glubb's "a
Soldier With the Arabs" a
very enlightening book on
this subject. and moreover.
an eyewitness account. Gen.
Club has this to say:
In December 1947 a senior
British officer in the Arab
Legion was one day visiting a
British district commissioner
in Palestine. A Jewish district
officer employed under the
district commissioner was
also present. They were hav-
ing drinks in the evening.
The UNO partition plan had
recently been published. The
British officer asked the jew
ish official whether the new
Jewish State would not have
many internal troubles, in
view of the fact that the Arab
inhabitants of the Jewish
State would be equal in num-
Der to the Jews. oh, no. rer
piled the Jewish officer. That

'Lenten THOUGHTS

The "Lenten Thoughts"
have been helpful. but they
have stopped far short of
what the Bible means to me.
They have rightly repre-
scented the Bible as beautiful
literature. comforting, solv-
ing our daily problems, guild
ing us to better under
standing with our fellow men
and everyday happiness. All
this is true, but the Bible
offers infinitely more than
that. These thoughts reflect
the limited vision of our time.
when people seem more con-
cerned with the moments Of
time than with the endless
ages of eternity. The Bible
says. IF we have only hoped
in Christ in this life, We are
of all men most pitisble"
Il Corinthians xvi,l9. ASV).
The Bible tells of a judg-
ment to face. a hell to shun.
and a heaven to gain. 1t
tells me of Jesus, not merely
an example and a guide to
a better life in this world.
but a Saviour of fallen men
and the only way to eternal
life: who died. rose again,
and is coming again in glory,
to give His children new
bodies and a new heaven and
earth. If the Bible has not
led you to repentance of sin
and faith in Christ as your
Saviour, you have missed its
central message.

Later on, when the prob

Rides Railroads

noted in The Star March
81 "Pennsy Will Drop 3
D. CHEW York Passenger
Trains" The story said that
the railroad has notified the
Maryland Public Service
Commission to withdraw 3
daily passenger trains operat,
ing between Washington and
New York.
AS a constant railroad
traveller, particularly between
Washington and New York
twice a week for a decade or
more-I wonder whether the
action Of the railroad in
notifying the Maryland State
official means that they will
bypass any actions other
States would have, namely,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and New York?
AS this action is apparently
spreading in the East, where
is it going to leave John @.
Public? The question is: Are
these State and Federal regu-
latory agencies to bend to the
action of the Pennsylvania
Railroad?
Do the Eastern railroads
realize what this action
means in discouraging pas
senger car travel? That's
what it is doing. Or are the
Eastern roads building up a
depressing picture so that 1t
will eventually lead to Gov
eminent subsidy?
If the Eastern railroads are
facing stiff and increasing
competition. possibly they
have brought it on them
selves. Or does it mean when
this competition is really Wig
orous that the railroads have
to call on the Government
for help?
Reverse the scene. Does
small business, both in the
production and distribution
field, throw in the towel when
it is facing vigorous COM
petition? 1t still battles on
to the best of its ability and
never asks for Government
aid.
Let these Eastern roads put
up a real progressive pro-
gram in the operation Of
passenger service and they
will attract and maintain
patronage.
It is my hope. for the good
of our Nation that both State
and Federal regulatory agen-
cies will scrutinize and ex-
anime the actions of some Of
these railroads before they
give them legal sanction to
inconvenience railroad traN
elers.
