might prove expedient in gaining
Communist ground. The leaders
Of the Communist world, by vir-
tue of being leaders. already
stand condemned by every STAN
dard of decency and individual
dignity known to free men.
When the Communists invoke
truth it is THEIR truth, not
abstract truth. When they pirate

resemblance to ours. And when
they cite the lessons of history.
the principles of democracy, and
the essentials of reality, they are
using those terms in the Com

But those semantic differences
are another story in themselves.
They simply add another dimen-
sion to the massive conflict which
seems destined to last as far into
the future as we can now see.
And the struggle is all the more
difficult because the adversaries
are playing under two completely
different sets of rules.

Khrushchev "Poor Sport"

Our nomination for the most
fatuous remark Of the century
goes to Undersecretary of State
Chester Bowles for his New Delhi
comment that Khrushchev is "a
poor sport"
Nikita Khrushchev is no more
interested in being a good sport
than he is in winning a merit
badge for helping old ladies
across the street. On the con-
trary, he is ruthless, dedicated,
Communist whose every action is
governed by "the inverted Golden
Rule" = prevent others from do
ing unto you what you are doing
to them.
American seem incapable of
getting it through their heads
that they are dealing with diff
ferent set of values and a differ
ent set of human beings when
they confront the Soviets. The
language barrier is the least of
the obstacles separating the free
world from the Soviet bloc: There
are conceptual differences which
defy the formulation of a COM
mon denominator.
These differences go beyond
the theological distinctions which
set Communists apart from nom
Communists and anti Commun-
lists.
Within the Western world it.
self there are theological differ
ences which are recognized and
to some degree reconciled with
each other. But the free world
or most of it-has a Judeo- Chris
tian heritage which sets broad
pattern of common conduct and
conscience. Relatively few meet
the standards, but the yardsticks
are there. nevertheless, for judg-
ing both men and measures.
No so with the Communists.
The steady and deliberate erosion
of JudeoChristian values in the
years since Karl Marx wrote his
Communist Manifesto has washed
away virtually every vestige of
a common ground between East
and West. Lenin, Stain, and now
Khrushchev have successfully
built a new pattern of both per-
sonal and political conduct.
The very nature of their re-
spective rises to power gives
ample evidence of the vast gulf
between Communists and nom
Communists. Even allowing for
the grand lapses from grace on
the part of too many Western
leaders, there remains a public
belief that success is predicated
upon such traits as truthfulness,
loyalty. integrity, intelligence and
industry.
Except for the last two, those
traits are meaningless in the
scheme of Communist success.
Those who rise to the top in the
Soviet hierarchy do so by dint
of deadly devotion to the Com
munist cause to the exclusion Of
all else. To them, the end JUST.
flies the means. Sheer power is
the end-all and cure-all, for its
exercise means the elimination Of
rivals to the cause and to the
individual.
Thus, those who achieve promi
nence in this Soviet world do sc
at the expense of their compete
tors. A trail of broken heads leads
to the top, and from there a
stream Of broken promises helps
to insure survival.
These, then, are the types with
whom the West has to ne
| gotiate. It is asinine to expec,

of Germany and Japan to the rest OF
the world : to prove it's case for de-
mocracy more forcefully and more
often. The communists use propagan-
da to excellent advantage in every &C
complishment, especially in the rockets
and space field.
But the greatest living testimonial to
to free economy today is the example
which has been set by the two defeat
ed Axis partners of World War II, Ger
many and Japan, where the people have
lived under democratic governments.
The progress made in the countries,
where devastation was almost complete,
certainly more widespread than in any
of the countries where the communists
took over, is eye-opening.
West Germany and Japan today stand
among the strong powers of the world.
They have strong economies and the
people are enjoying high standard of
living. All this has been accomplished
in democratic society, with the people
actually choosing their, governments
and their government leaders.

September Historic Month

The Star Spangled Banner was writ
ten on the 14th of September, 1914; the
first Continental Congress was held
September 5, 1774. in Philadelphia, Con-
stitution Day is observed on the 18th,
and many other anniversaries and men,
orable dates are recalled during the
month.
But, in general, September is month
when the weather changes - from sum-
mer to fall. 1t is nostalgia month, in
sense, for it brings us the first cool
weather, the first smell OF burning
leaves, and the first hints of COM
ing winter.
And, on the 23rd, the length of the
day and the night will be exactly equal,
one of the two times during the year
this occurs. BY December 21st, when
winter will arrive, we will see the short
est day Of the year, for after the 23rd Of
SeptemberA the nights will be longer
than the days, increasingly so, with
each new day.

Robert L. Carter, of New York
. There may be pending a suit
brought in Virginia state courts seek
ing an opinion on the question of re-
quiring Prince Edward County to main
tain public schools, an important point
in the present case, which Judge Lewis
refused to act upon prior to decision of
the Virginia Court of Appeals, provid-
ed the suit was brought within 60 days.
. Judge Lewis opinion was not
clearcut as to whether state and local
scholarships would be constitutional for
both a racially separate private school
and/or a racially integrated private
school, even if public integrated schools
were opened.
These are but few of the many ques-
tions which have come out of the decis-
ion, which must be decided by the high
est federal court before firm and
knowledgeable foundation can be had
for future development of education in
Prince Edward, Virginia and the South.
Prince Edward County's actions are
too important to be taken hastily Legal
questions remain to be resolved, and we
counsel careful consideration. Precipit-
ate action definitely is unwise pro-
cedure.

Free Economy Demonstrations

THE action of the Russians, in sur
rounding Berlin with two divisions
of Russian troops and shutting off the
flow of traffic between the eastern and
western sectors of the city, should not
surprise anyone.
In fact, there were questions raised
on the western side for some weeks be-
fore the closing of the borders was or
dered in Moscow as to why the Rus
slams didn't shut down the border, in
view of the steady flow of refugees
from East Germany to western Berlin
and West Germany
This steady fleeing of refugees, and
the example of Germany land Japan,
constitute the greatest proof. that de-
mocracy can Guido communism witness
ed by the world since the end of World
War II. Naturally Nikita Khrushchev
felt that he must halt the steady fleeing
of East Germans from their communist
country, though he must have hated to
make the admission which he was MAX
ing in ordering the borders closed.

Stand Steady Prince Edward!

MUCH publicity has been given Prince
~ Edward County in the national and
state press during the past week since
the announcement of Judge Orer Lewis
school decision What the decision did
say and did not say has been the sub
ject of discussion by both members Of
the legal profession and laymen. Con-
siderable misunderstanding of the act
ual meaning of the decision has result
ed
Before further steps are taken in
any direction, it appears to us that legal
counsel for the county boards and the
attorney general of Virginia might find
it desirable to confer with Judge Lewis
in chambers and ascertain if possible
just what he does mean on several
points of his decision.
Here are some facts:
. Judge Lewis has not entered an
order
AS is customary, the successful
litigants are charged with presenting
the Judge with decree, in this case the
NAACP plaintiffs. SO far as we know
this has not yet been done. We presume
that it will be DONE unless the NAACP
decides to appeal the decision as was
publicly stated by its chief legal counsel,
