out Of the Congo may have
been unwise. But under the
circumstances, no American
is in any position to criticize
it.
Neither can anyone hon
eStly criticize the decision to
send Belgian troops back into
the Congo when the roof fell
in. No government anywhere
could possibly stand aside
while hundreds Of It's citizens
were threatened with pillage,
torture, and rape. To have ex-
pected Belgium to rely on the
protection of u. N. troops
troops under strict orders not
to use force under any cir
cumStances-would have been
the height Of hypocrisy.
Nevertheless. in successive
q. N. votes. the United States
lined UP with the majority
demanding the immediate
withdrawal Of Belgian troops
from the Congo. And at the
very time when requisitioned

unloading their tragic car.
goes at the Brussels airport,
Patrice Lumumba was being
received with full state honors
in Washington.
Angry Charges
Whether or not all this
made much sense from the
point of view Of higher
craftsmanship, the reaction
in Belgium was little short of
hySterical. Never since the
end of the war has the charge
OF betrayal rung so loudly
and angrily In any Western
European country. Abar1-
doned by its friends, Belgium
vented its anguish In the
most violent and irrational
outbursts against the United
States. At the height Of the
emotional storm, the demand
for an immediate withdrawal
from NATO echoed in the
public press.
Today, mercifully. the hys-
terra has subsided. More ra-
tional and intelligent Bel
gians viii concede that per-
haps. after all. the United
States is not really bent on
ousting Belgium from the
Congo to make room for it.
self. They are even able to
admit that the loss Of the
Congo will not mean eco
nomic ruin for the country.
And that the ties that bind
Belgium to NATO militarily,
economically and politically
are too strong to be loosed.
But the bitterness and dis
illusion remain and will re-
main for a long time to come.
One asks oneself what pur-
pose was served and what end
was gained by squandering so
lavishly the goodwill and con-
1idence built up over half "a
century. And whether the
prestige of the United States
in Belgium or anywhere
else-haS been greatly en-
hanced as a result.

strate, and France, If it had
Incorporated the Saar, would
have asserted her position as
the strongest nation in Eu-
rope. Being a highly cultured
and civilized nation, France
allowed the Saar to become q
German state.
Poland. of course, suffered
greatly under the Nazi re-
gime, but the Poles should
not forget that they cooper
ated with Hitler in 1898 in
partitioning CzechoSlovakia.
After World War l.. when
the new state of Poland came
into being. the Poles terror
lied and harraSsed the Ger
man communities which were
made a part of Poland by
the Treaty of Versailles:
such cruel actions did not
help the relationship between
the two nations. The Ger
man government pleaded
with the League Of Nations
to protect her minority liv-
ing in Poland, but such pleas
had no avail.
The uprising against COM
munism by the Polish people
is greatly admired, but the
Germans in the Eastern Zone
also rose up in 1853 against
communism. The refugees
who continue to flow into
West Germany indicate that
the Germans do not have any
love for their Soviet masters.
Germany has continuously
reinforced its ties with the
West, knowing that if war
should come, Germany would
be the first battle-ground and
would possibly be completely
exterminated. How much
easier it would be to remain
neutral and play East against
West!
Germany, of course, would

GUIDING LIGHT

The custom of lighting Christ
mas candles is an old one and
somewhat obscure. Ore legend
contends the custom is a hold
over from baronial days when a
huge Yule candle was specially
made to furnish light at the fes-
tive board.
Another source traces the orr
gin of the Christmas candle to
Ireland. During the time when
the English were attempting to
suppress their religious beliefs,
Irish families were said to have
placed lighted candles in the win
doWs in the hope Of guiding a
priest to the homes.
Whatever the source of the
custom. today it has become a
traditional part Of our holiday
observance-our guiding light.
