| THERE'S NOTHING subtle
about American ways in for
eign affairs. Certainly nothing
subtle enough to be visible to
the naked eye as we naively tell
the truth about the U-2 and are
actually made to seem defeated
BY the calling off Of a summit
conference we never wanted. Or
last week as we were made to
seem defeated by the cold-eyed
organizers whose staged riots in
Tokyo have let Communists say
we are SO dlsliked in Japan we
dare not let our President come
calling.
| Yet things may come to pass
through no virtue or subtlety of
our own which make us, not the
Reds, heirs Of both situations.
In the comings and goings Tor

traits and affinities of nations
are having their pictures taken.
Public affairs are becoming pub

When that happens, the sub
tleties don't show but the noble

THE NOBLE NAIVETES of
the United States.
Long may they wave! They
pack a punch, a sentimental.
cardiac punch. To have the most
powerful nation be also the
most believing and spiritually
undertaking one is worth hun
dred divisions for world peace,
if we keep on believing and try
ing and being naive while able
to afford it because of our
maintained and unmatched
strength.
Only America can afford to be
naive.
Only America can afford to
lose face.
For only America is so strong
so pure of heart. and wants
nobody else's marbles.
HOME FROM PARIS. Home
from a Tokyo not attained.
think we come with a net
gain. We have won still more of
the liking and trust of the world
and in worldwide proof again
that honor and peace are our
only ambition. Let them take

WELCOME TO HARRY TRU-
MAN, denouncing the sit-in dem
onStratlOnS again and blaming
them on Communists! Since he
is on our side this time perhaps
we shouldn't say he doesn't know
what he is talking about but he
doesn't. II never was for sit
down STRIKES" he adds. Back
IN 1888 when they first started
in the automobile business l
was against it 100 per cent in
the United States Senate and
I'm still against it."
There is big difference be-
tween a Slt-in and Sit-doWn.
The slt-doWn strikers in h e
automobile plants in 1888 merely
refused to leave the premises
where they had been working
They barricaded themselves in
the building. There was no ag-
erosion, no violence, no clear
cut law breaking. But the sit-ins
Of today agrees by force. They
violate the law of treapass by
forcing they way into the stores
or up to the counters. "Sit-in"
isn't the right name for this. It
should be "push-up." That in
wolves the difference between a
negative and an affirmative, be-
tween peaceful resistance and
civil disobedience.
AT Wander bilt Chancel-

has been against civil disobedi-
ence, law-breaNng, not against
Indignation.
