Impressions OF Russia

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. ID -
The president Of the South Caro-
lima Bankers Association has re-
turned from Moscow convinced
that although Russian people gen.
orally favor communism, their
interests are in peace and the
pursuit Of better living conditions.

I'VE neigher saw nor attempted

terests were chiefly in personal
contacts not ordinarily available
to us through reading or listen
ing at home.
Although the Americans were
taken on tours where the Rus
slams directed them, there were
free periods when they would OBJ
serve on their own. It was in
these times that Mr.. johnson got
to absorb Moscow in the raw.

that they are peaceloving and
completely honest. They seem to
be embarrassed that political be-

Crises Inevitable

PRACTICALLY every speaker, includ-
ing those on the air and behind the
pulpit, and many of our columnists,
are very busy advertising the crises at
hand for humanity.
This is the day of great decisions,
they assert, almost in unison, and upon
the decisions we make, they say, rests
the hope of humanity for years to come.
The general idea seems to be to excite
the emotions of readers and listeners,
and thus persuade them to "unselfish
action, which, it is suspected, they will
not accept on the basis of intelligent
argument.
While the people of the world do face
great difficulties at the present time,
there is no reason to believe that they
are insurmountable, or that they are
unsurpassed in magnitude Nearly every
generation has heard the same argument
advanced, as men and women battle for
aims.
1t may be encouragings to note that,
SO far, the human race has refused to
commit suicide 1t evidently possesses
greater stability than some of it's
members would believe Modern civiliza-
ton, despite crises real and imagin-
airy - continues to spread throughout
the earth. and men and women every
where seem to be making progress to-
ward the goal of better human beings.

cially is this true where competition is
keen. The only way the free world can
find out what goes on in Russia is
through the use of informants, who
when caught are known as spies Francis
q. Powers, an American airman, who
was captured in an w flight over Rus
sla last May, is on trial in Russia for
spying. His fate will be in the hands of
the Russian military court, which is
expected to make tremendous show
Of the trial. Communist propaganda

In an unfavorable position with the peo-
pie of the world
American intelligence comes hard to
get as the Russians maintain strict
secrecy in their defense plans. and any
Russian who even drops inadvertently
any information fears for his life, his
liquidation" All of their movements
and plans are top secret, no "unclas-
Slfled' secrets are available to the
public Thus, almost everything which
is learned about the Communists ac-
tivities or military developments must
be obtained through spies
The word "spies" to Americans is
an unpleasant word. The Russians
know this and make accusations of spy
ing against the slightest movement in
this direction. Some innocent American
tourists have been accused of spying
on the slightest provocation.
No so the United States. Russia has
and elaborate system of gathering in
formation through embassies of their
own and of their satellites. The United
Nations employees have the widest
liberties for seeking and obtaining i'm
formation either advertantly or in
advertantly given.
The United States government not
only allows publication Of many of it
new military machines, but on occasions
puts them on display in public Such an
exhibition was held in Washington Aug
ust 8 to 10 at the convention of the
United States Army, open to the public.
Not only were new developments in war
machines displayed but lecturers gave
the details and furnished literature
with illustrations. High ranking Rus
sian officials and army officers attend
ed the convention and the exhibits. Even
though an Army spokesman stated that
none of the information was classified,
there were seven items of defense hard
ware that had never been seen by the
general public. Most of these had to do
with air defense and computers.
Thus the Russians have access to our
arsenal by invitation, and they take
advantage of our open policy. Possibly
the same information obtained from
Russia must be done by spies.
