be lifted after Towering and
thoroughly baked in the hot
sun or they are likely to disap-

The grape hyacinths are
hardly in need Of mention
since they are as widely planted
as any of the small spring
Towering bulbs. The white

Scillas Are Dainty
Scilla siberica, squill, is q
dainty little miss that might
be planted in the small border
as a drift, in the rock garden
for color, or naturalized among
the azaleas. The gentian blue
flowers do make a nice showing
in March. Spring Beauty is the
highest rated variety.
The real contribution Of the
Scilla, however, is the large
Powered S. campanulata, and
S. nutans. These two might
well take over the place usu-
ally assigned to the hyacinths.
Not only can these Scillas take
our soils and climate but they
multiply like flies. The flower
heads are not quite as large
and snowy as the hyacinths
but they can take the weather

need only q planting depth Of
3 or ( inches, hence the soil
need not be worked to as great
q depth as is desirable for
the tulips and daffodils.
For earliest bloom there is
no substitute for the snow
drops (Galanthus). In many
gardens they have their first
blooms open on New Years in
this area. Perhaps they are not
as snowy as some but those
first blooms are so worthwhile
after the chill of a wet, cold,
early winter. Certainly theirs
is q promise that spring is
coming and that other bulbs
will follow them. Plant a few
bulbs in sheltered spots in the

THE WILL TO VIM
Victory Goes to the Determined

maintaining today's high standard
of living and generous PRODUCTIVE
ity, this is possible only if it is
not subjected to undue strain.
The Korean War in June, 1850,
suddenly relegated these timorous
economic theories to the ash can.
Our economy took a $50 billion
defense budget in its stride.
Today with a defense outlay
of approximately $40 billion. the
same budgetary arguments are
advanced as were put forward in
1949. And again there can be
heard the first rumblingS of a
growing public ground swell de-
handing that our policy-makerS
rid themselves of these doubts
about the intrinsic strength of
our economy.
Stepped-U up Poce
On the basis OF events since the
end of World War II, one impor-
tant truth should be recognized as
a determining factor in national
policy. This is, that the time scale
of historical change has been
greatly foreshortened.
Our situation requires the full
utilization of the productive ca
pacity of our industry and labor;
a new economic philosophy de-
signed to gear our economy to a
much greater turnover of goods,
services and capital; a revised tax
structure to encourage rapid
amortization of production facili-
ties; flexible policy of Govern
ment underwriting of private cap
ital invested abroad TO stimulate
the flow of such capital into I'M
derdeveloped areas; a policy of
defense expenditures which will
enable us to meet our worldwide
political commitments and give us
the requisite military power to
support. in our dealings with the
Soviet bloc. courageous political
policies that are firm and stead
fast in support of principles and
of allies, while imaginative and
flexible in application to individ-
ual situations.
We in the West cannot hope
to initiate such a program unless
we, are prepared to accept the I'M
pleasant reality that we are in an
all-out struggle with the Commu-
mist bloc. One side is going to
win; the other will be destroyed.
More containment will not win.
Where the frontier between civil
izationS stands still" Toynbee
warns. time always works in the
barbarianS' favor"
l am completely convinced that
we can win, however, if we have
the will to do so and will pay the
price in self discipline and dedi-
cation. But there is no automatic
victory. For instance, it is not au-
tomato that in any interchange
of persons our naive students or
businessmen will prevail over the
trained agents of the Communists.
The evidence is to the contrary.
All along, the Communists have
had the will-to-win; they did not
have the strength. We of the free
world had the strength; we did
not have the will. Victory will go
to whichever side first gets both
the strength and the will.

Secretary of State Herter at the
Geneva talks. The resolution
coasted through the Senate, and
later the House, with a predict
able lack Of debate or fanfare.
Indeed, beyond the most per-
functory notice, reporters covering
the doings OF Congress paid al
most no attention to the resolu-
ton.
But now, in the wake Of the
bitter responses from Moscow,
Warsaw, Bucharest, Prague, Bu-
dapest and Sofia. seemingly in
nocuous resolution has become
almost a major crisis. To the en-
bassieS of the nations affected

Undersecretary of State C. Doug

gees from the Soviet satellites,
UNDERSTANDABLE eager to praise
the proclamation of Captive Ma
lions Week."
Misunderstanding
Behind the intense and surely
to some extent studied wrath Of
the nations affected lies, of course,
a common misunderstanding Of
American governmental mistake
not confined to Communist ma
tons, be it said. 1t is difficult for
a European or Asiatic to conceive
of government in which the
legislature can be, and is, so in
dependent as to make foreign pol
icy announcements on its own.
1t Is equally difficult for them to
appreciate the fact that American
Presidents customarily comply
with the expressions of Congress
when they are set forth in Joint
resolutions. Now, as far as the
resolution about the captive ma
tions, this was a resolution by the
Congress, (which asked me to
issue a proclamation, which I
did; thus did Mr.. Eisenhower
reply to a newsman's question at
his Wednesday press conference.
The President emphasized that
in his opinion there was no rela-
tionship whatever between Mr..
Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union
and the timing of the Captive
Nations Week" proclamation.
This reporter has discovered no
one, in government or among
newsmen, who questions this. If.
indeed, the timing was unfortu-
nate, it was apparently not in any
case deliberate on the part of the
Executive Branch.
