UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
July l.-Adlai Stevenson does
not believe that, as of now, the
Chinese Communists have any
chance of being seated in the
United Nations General Assem-
bly,.
None except the Commu-
nists want to expel the Chinese
Nationalists," the United States
Ambassador to the U. N. said
in an exclusive interview.
He gave his views on this and
other matters before leaving
for Geneva to attend the U. N
economic and social council
meeting.
Mr.. Stevenson fears that, if
and when the Peiping govern
ment does get its delegates into
the U. NJ. it will only add to
the obstruction and negativism
of the other Reds already in
the organization.
Analyses Soviet Views
The Ambassador gave this
explanation for why the Rus
slams have not accepted the
suggestion he made when he
came to the U. N. in January
that the cold war be called off
in the United Nations:
There are several factors
which undoubtedly have influ-
enced Chairman Khrushchev to
continue the cold war.
First, there is an increasing
self-confidence on the part of
the Russians, particularly as a
result of scientific achieve
mentS.
Second, there is the obvious
pressure of the Chinese Com
munists on the Soviet Union.
Third, there is the admitted
failure Of Soviet agriculture
from which attention must be
diverted.
Finally. there is chagrin
over the constant bleeding oi
East Germans into West Ger
many.
These things have doubtless
contributed to the more belliger.
ent attitude on the part o1
Chairman KhruShchev."
Prepares for Arms Issue
Mr.. Stevenson is preparing
for discussions on disarmament,
one of the most important
questions to come before the
General Assembly which con-
venes on September 19. The
Assembly, according to we'll
informed sources, may be the
'roughest" in U. N: history.
It will be rough not only be-
cause of disarmament but as a
result of the relentless rule or
ruin" campaign by the Soviet
Union under which the Secre-
tariat will have to be broadened
TO include a distribution of per-
Sonnel more representative of
the membership. In addition,
the question of China's repre-
sentation may be seriously de-
bated for the first time.
On disarmament, Mr.. Ste
venSon said that as long as
nations continue to develop
weapons of modern warfare the
danger of nuclear conflict ex-
lists, although he comedies that
the terror that could be pro-
duced by such weapons may
exert some restraint on their
ready use.
He finds some hope in the
disarmament field.
"The Soviet Union recognizes
the Importance of disarma-
ment," he said.
Patience and Negotiation
But Chairman Khrushchev
will continue to try to have his
way, and to preserve the veto
power over enforcement" he
continued. If he finally is
convinced that he cannot pre-
vail he may revert to a more

nauer and Prime Minister

Prime Minister Macmillan
rushes from one side to the
other, wondering who will
be the winner.
Until Senator Mansfield
made his unfortunate speech
about a Berlin compromise,
the leaders of continental
Europe were certain that the
Red K would have the tough
est game of his life. But that
speech caused on!ookers to
wonder.
The continental press and
radio commentators were
urged to play down the ma

important forum in the world,
the floor of the United States
Senate. Most of the more

But this does not mean
that the continental capitals
have not suffered a shock.
In spite of Senator Mans
fields protestations that he
only expressed his personal
views, the suspicious Euro
peanS wonder, particularly
after reading the recently
published Teheran papers, if
America is really determined
to stand firm on Berlin.
A diplomat who insisted
that this reporter not dis
close his identity explained
our allies misgivings: "Ac-
cording to the Teheran min
utes, Mr.. Roosevelt, as head
of the most powerful nation
in the world, had in l943
promised Poland to Stain.
Yet. for domestic political
onSiderat tions he went
through the motions of being
the great advocate of that
country's full independence
and sovereignty after the
Nazi defeat. We all believed
him and so did the Poles,
not knowing the bargain had
already been made to doom
those people to slavery under
the Russian heavy foot"
The Teheran papers" the
diplomat continued, reveal
that the head of the Ameri-
can government was guilty of
one of the most Grass dupli-
cities known in contemporary
history. There is no reason
to believe that Mr.. Kennedy
has taken a page from his
predecessor in regard to Ber-
lin. We know, not only
through his spoken words,
but also by the subsequent
irritation of Mr.. Khrushchev,
that he maintained an ada
mant attitude on the prob
lem on which the survival of
the free West depends.

After this statement John Rife was elected by
reclamation to the post of Executive Vice-President
which he held till the AFL-CIO merger in 1855.
MIRA is answering Communism by changing
Communists said Rife. He was speaking from
experience.
One day the leader of an anti Communist
union asked him for a talk. He found he could
trust John. He got honest about drinking and
trouble in the home. Then he told John, II am
publicized as an anti Communist, but | am still
secretly in the Party. What should | do?"
Rife told him about his own change and how
in quiet thought God can show a man what to 90.
The local leader decided to get honest with his
wife, quit the drinking and tell his colleagues about
his Communist a~fiiation.
Today this man, no longer Communist, says,
"Moral Re-Armament is the way up and the way
out for humanity"
Rife knew that the revolution which had
happened in his own life could take place equally
in men of management. 1T can begin at the bottom
and 60 up, or it can begin at the top and go down"
he said. "The important thing is that it begins"

JAPANESE STUDENT RIOTERS

AN duulence OF 5,UUU rose III q sustained stand
ing ovation last night to the challenge of a force OF
Japanese students in Carnegie Hail." wrote the
NeW York Journal-American on February 81
The students had taken part in the Tokyo
riots last June which prevented President Eisen-
hower's visit to Japan. They had just given the
premiere performance of their play The Tiger, a
drama of the Tokyo riots.
The Ncw York Times, February "a, reported
what happened after the performance of The Tiger
at White Plains, New York..
-Four Japanese students apologized to James
C. Hagerty tonight for the Tokyo riots against him
last June. Mr.. Hagerty was President Eisenhower's
press secretary. He replied to the apologies, deliv-
cred on stage, that the drama and its message was
all the apology | or the people of the United States
could want"
1t was a moment of history, uniting Japan and
America. "This is democracy in action, demonstrated
by Moral Re-Armament," said Edwin Michaelian,
Chief Executive of Westchester County.
The dramatic change in these students took
place at the Moral Re-Armament World Assembly
at Caux, Switzerland, last summer. There they
found an idea more satisfying and challenging than
riots and rebellion.
They had given their passion to destroy the
alliance between Japan and America. Now they
decided to live to save a crumbling civilization.
Shoei Omote, former President of the students
of Meiji University, says, Il fought as a leader of
the riots because / felt that Communism alone
could answer the corruption of Japan. But the
harder we fought, the more bitterness there was
in the country. Through another student leader l
heard about MIRA. / saw that as | am so is my
nation. | put right what was wrong in my life and
family and got completely honest. The choice is
Moral Re-Armament or Communism"
Chancellor Adenauer invited The Tiger to Ger
many and officially sponsored the ~showings.
French leaders including former Prime Minister
Robert Schuman. CASTOR Monnervile, President
of the French Senate, and Gabriel Marcel, the we'll
known Catholic philosopher, invited them to Paris.
Now they will take their play across America.
Through the press, radio and t~elevision these
students have reached millions. Their fight Is
answering the Communist strategy OF mobilizing
for rebellion the youth OF all nations.
Former Prime Minister Kishi Of Japan refers
to men like these when he says, But for Moral

AFRICAN REVOLUTIONARY

The Communist aim in South Africa is to pro-
duce 4 bloodbath by ~inhAming the hate between
black and white. But a mighty answer is at work.
F. G. Vundla is a great African revolutionary.
He led the biggest strike Of the African gold mine
workers. The police called him the most dangerous
man in South Africa. He could set $4,000 men
marching in less than two hours.
Vundla changed. The man who helped him
change was Nico Ferreira, an Afrikaner who had led
the white nationalist Youth League at Pretoria
University. Ferreira accepted the challenge of Moral
Re-Armament. He went to Vundla and said, II am
sorry for the pride and domination in people like
me and for the pain and suffering we have caused"
He told Vundla of his decision to lay down his life
to bring South Africa under Gods control.
In men like Ferreira, Vundla saw a revolution
far more dynamic than his own struggle. Here was
an ideology that changed men of all races.
When Vundla committed his life to fight for
this uniting answer he drew the enmity of some of
his own people who, were determined not to give
up the race war. He was stabbed and left for dead.
When he came out OF the hospital he called a mass
meeting of his people, told them Of his decision to
be q selfless, incorruptible man, and to fight without
hatred, and won them. Today he has his peoples
support more than ever before.
They have just elected him to represent 100000
Africans in johannesburg for talks with the Minister
of Native Affairs.
Men like Vundla and Ferreira, black and white,

the national commercial radio.
Nothing less than an theology with a world
remaking strategy could have united men like
Ferreira and myself" says Vundla. ut is our only
hope. My one job is to change men"
DR.. Buchanan sent a message to a friend telling
him of Vundla. He said, This is a man in possession
Of fundamental truth. This one thing | do, for
getting those things which are behind I press
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling
that is in, Christ Jesus Make this reality in the

STEELWORKERS' LEADER

'The toughest, toughest man in the Steel
workers i he could lick any six men," was a col
leagues description of John Rifle, who rose to be
the last Executive Vice-President of the CLIO.
Born in the Kentucky mountains in 1906 the
IA. Years of poverty and persecution convinced him
.hat the employer was the mortal enemy of the
workers. Beaten up and left for dead by goons in
South Carolina, he recovered to become zone of the
five giants of American labor"
But his biggest fight was the battle for the
thinking of America. The Communists offered class
war. They were out to foment division in industry.
Rife gave the workers a much greater challenge:
Labor led by God can lead the world"
He was a friend of Philip Murray, God-fearing
President of the Steelworkers, who recognized in
Moral Re-Armament "a call to action against the
divisive materialism which is our unseen enemy"
Philip Murray once said to Rife, "John, we will
never have a sound union in the mills unless we
have union in the homes"
When John Rife met Frank Buchanan he found
an answer for his own life and home, for labor and for
America. He saw that hate-filled men cannot build
a hate-free society, nor selfish men an unselfish
society. He saw changed men change other men and
bring inspired answers to unemployment, deadlock
and selfish interest. John chose this theology. He
changed, and set a pattern for the age.
Of course he met opposition. They tried to
smear him. But he stood firm. Speaking to the
Executive of the CLIO in 1853, he said, "You men
know me. You have seen me sitting around all night
in poker games, and then turning up next morning
bleary-eyed when l should have been backing up
Phil Murray. MIRA has made q union man like me
