premise" If our main goal in
life is to save the peace, "
somebody goofed. The only
way to keep the boys in Mos
COW happy is to give in to
them.
If our main goal is to
strengthen freedom here and
abroad, it looks as if we're on
the right road. This policy
may make the Moscow gang
pretty mad from time to time,
but then Tom Paine. Tom
Jefferson. Ben Franklin and
Patrick Henry used to make
some pretty important people
Of their day mad. too.
Our problem is that we
have only three choices: Give
in to them and win a Lenin
Peace Prize, stand our ground
and defend ourselves and
make them mad, or really go
out to beat them by convinc-
ing their people individual
freedom beats collective con-
formity and really see them
sizzle.
1t might help clear up the
confusion to find out where
our would-be leaders stand
on this issue.

1t seems to me Adlai Ste
venson would realize ere this
(after failing in two elec-
tions) who the American peo-
pie want and respect as a
President of our country!
Mr.. Stevenson's conduct in
trying to stir up trouble is
only giving comfort to the
enemy of peace. If that is
the requirement to be an egg
head. I do not wish to be one.
The entire world knows
President Eisenhower for his
dedicated and loyal life of
service to his country.

The diplomatic whirlwind
tears through world capitals,
leaving considerable wreck
age. Strong voices from Mad
ison Avenue, Wall Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, aided
and abetted by Pravda, etc.,
stirred up a storm of propa-
ganda that blew us right on
to the edge of craftsmanship.
Now some of these same
voices are beginning to de-
scribe, to analyze, to dissect
the series of blunders" which
caused the havoc. The U-2
and communications alert
weren't big blunders.
The principal blunders were
acceding to the Khrushchev
demand for a summit meet
ing and the invitation to
Khrushchev to visit the
United States.
Neither should have been
given without a firm guaran-
tee Of good will, like, for in
stance, open-sky inspection.
Khrushchev used our hoSpi-
tality to lecture us on the
success" of communism, but
the solidarity, security and
freedom he saw made him
realize that capitalism hadn't
reached the necessary state
of decay to gain worthwhile
compromises at a summit
meeting.
I hope that from six to
eight months" will find us
sane, strong and remindful.

I am delighted with the
outcome of the summit con-
ference. 1t has been impossi-
BILE for me to picture our
We tern lambs breaking
bread with a wolf.
My heart weeps for the
poor sheep already in Khru-
Shchev's corral.
The Western lambs might
have lost a little wool in the
shuttle, but let's hope it was
mostly from over their eyes.

The United States was de-
feated, and peace was not
secured, in all the success
full" SUBMITS of the past:
Wilson at Versailles, Roose-
welt at Teheran and Yalta,
Truman at Potsdam.
The failure at Paris has
at least two things in its
favor:
1. We did not give more
concessions to the Russians
to further en- d ger free
world security and make a
just peace even more remote.
2. The Russian leaders once
again have shown the world
that prQpaganda-not peace
lis their real objective.
