1t was with much disgust
that I heard Adlai Stevenson
attack our administration for
failure at the summit con-
ference and to agree with our
enemy Khrushchev. This con-
ference was doomed to fall
ure at its very conception.
The U-2 incident on which
both Khrushchev' and Ste
venson hang their hats was
an operation for the protec-
tion Of this great, free
country Of ours. We do not
intend to be caught with an
other Pearl Harbor." For
Adlai to take partisan ad-
vantage Of this situation in
an apparent attempt to
further his subtle campaign
for the presidency is dis
graceful. In the words Of a
great American, Our coun-
try. in her intercourse with
foreign nations, may she
always be right-but, our
country right or wrong"

Reference to U-2, and the
summit, too, I shall be trite,
I still like Ike.

Adlai Stevenson really ex-
posed his hand in supporting
Khrushchev against his own
country'S President. He not
only put his politics above
country but did a disservice
to his country. 1t is fortunate
for us all that he came out
in the open with his views,
as now, even if his own party
should win the election, it
could not afford to give him
a post Of responsibility that
would allow him to favor
Russia.
We went to the conference
with the goal of peace and
freedom Of all the peoples Of
the world, while Russia has
admitted her goal as COM
munizing the whole world.
Our only hope is to appeal
to God by prayer that the
Communists see the error Of
their ways in forcing commu-
nism on all the peoples Of
the world.

Fable:
A Wolf, meeting with a
Lamb astray from the fold,
resolved not to lay violent
hands on him, but to find
some plea which should JUS
tify to the Lamb himself his
right to eat him. He then
addressed him: "Sirrah, last
year you grossly insulted me-"
Indeed" bleated the Lamb
in a mournful tone of voice,
II was not then born" Then
said the Wolf: "You feed in
my pasture. mo, good sir"
replied the Lamb, 81 have not
yet tasted grass" Again said
the Wolf: "You drink of my
we'll" mo" exclaimed the
Lamb, II never yet drank
water, for as yet my mothers
milk is both food and drink
to me-" On which the Wolf
seized him, and ate him I'D,
saying: well! I won't re-
main supperless, even though
you refute every one Of my
imputations."
The tyrant will always find
a preteXt for his tyranny,
and it is useless for the in
nocent to try by reasoning
to get justice, when the op-
preSsor intends to be unjust.
,AesOp.
Now after years of playing
tootSieS with the Russians.
after years Of passively
watching their sickle strike
out broadly, we, in the lime
light Of the world, suddenly
become bold and engage our
selves in one of the most
ridiculous farceS of our times.
We play the role of a legen-
Diary George Washington and
confess all-the prop in this
drama is not a cherry tree,
it is an airplane. What folly
is this! What ludicrousness!
While Red space ship circles
our globe and can be seen by
the naked eye even from our
Nations Capital, we waste
words on airplanes. Ours is
a curious role that we are
passive when we should be
active, and active when we
should be passive.
