The Peoples Judgment

A Montgomery County jury re-
quired only 18 minutes to return a
guilty verdict against man charged
with selling "Tropic of Cancer" in
violation of Maryland's obscenity law.
This followed a reading Of the entire
book by the jurors at the courts in
Sistence, and we have no doubt that
the verdict echoes the judgment of
the vast majority of people who may
take the time to wade through the
debris of the books so-called -four

This verdict, however, stands against
the view, held by some, that laymen
are not competent to judge the "liter-
ary merit" of filthy book. So the

doubtless will be carried to the Su-
preme Court, and one must await the
decision of the justices on Tropics"
literary merit, if any. Meanwhile, it
might be pointed out that no one is
required by the Constitution or any
law to buy or read the book.

Calculated Risks in Ghono

The American commitment Of fl
nancial aid to Ghana's $324-million
Volta River hydroelectric project in
wolves some rather obvious risks, both
economic and political. They are risks,
however, that appear reasonably well
distributed between governmental agen-
cieS and private industry, with the
added provision that the dollar assist
ance will be extended on an INSTALL
ment basis permitting periodic review
Of progress on the project and Of the
political-fiscal policies of the Ghana
government.
In brief, the two-part project calls
for construction of $196million dam
and $l28-million aluminium plant
which would be principal user of the
newly produced electric power. Half
($98 million) Of the dam cost has been
pledged by Ghana, with $37 million
additional to come directly from two
United States Government lending agen-
cies-the Development Loan Fund and
the Export-Import Bank. The World
Bank and the British government would
finance the remaining costs. For the
plant construction, the Export-Import
Bank will loan 500 million to a new
American company, wholly owned by
Kaiser Aluminium and Reynolds Alu-
minum, and these parent concerns
will supply the additional $32 million
needed.
The two American firms have
agreed to 30-year contract for pur-
chase Of the aluminium, but there is
the normal business risk Of finding
a final market for the new supply.
There is also the normal political
economic risk attached to investments
abroad, but the Ghana government has
given assurances that the capital will be
protected and our own Government is
guaranteeing 80 per cent Of the pri-
vate investment against possible ex-
preparation.
Figuring prominently in the lengthy
consideration of whether American
capital should be committed to the
project has been President Kwame
Nkrumah's steady progress toward a
dictatorship at home and his frequently
anti-WeStern position on international
affairs. There is no assurance what
ever that American help on the Volta
project will alter the Nkrumah atti-
tudes, unless the Stage-by-stage review
procedure prompts some moderation
on his part. On the whole, however,
the risks that, have been calculated
and weighed are probably no greater
than for any comparable long-term

Supermorket Economics

housewives with the welcome news that
food prices only seem high. Actually,
he told them, retail prices for farm
grown food have risen only Is per cent
since 1947-49, with the result that an
average hourly wage today will buy far
more groceries than in those un-
lamented days.

Mr.. Tshombe Yields

Faced with destruction by superior
United Nations armed force, Katanga
President Noise Tshombe apparently
has capitulated and agreed to most If
not all Of the demands laid upon him.
This, at any rate, is the reasonable
face-value estimate Of the published
version of the document which he has
signed.
This document says nothing about
the expulsion of much -talked-of white
mercenaries" and other foreign advisers
in Katanga. This has been one of the
major U. N. demands, and was spelled
out in detail in the November "a Security
Council resolution. Consequently, the
absence Of any reference to it in the
published agreement is somewhat sur
prising. 1t may be, however, that the
agreement itself, especially Points 7
and 8, If lived up to, is satisfactory in
the U. MS eyes. Likewise, nothing is
said about the degree of autonomy
which Katanga would enjoy after re-
turning to the Congo fold. But the
agreement speaks Of the preparation of
that Mr.. Tshombe and Congo Premier
Adoula have reached mutually accept
able private understanding on this point.
The important immediate thing is
that the fighting, for all practical pur-
poses, has stopped. After two weeks of
fighting, battered EliSabethville can
return to something like normal, and
the unadmirable spectacle of a u. N
army waging war on militarily in
ferior force can be put behind us. We
have not thought and we still do not
believe that the Katanga war was
justified by necessity or within the
legitimate scope of U. N. authority. The
disclaimers to the contrary, it was a
military operation successfully designed
to crush Katanga'S armed forces, and
to compel the return of that secesSionist
province to the Congo. This, in our
judgment, was morally wrong. But it
has been done, and the hope now must
be that Mr. Tshombe will be both willing
and able to live up to the terms to
which he has reluctantly subscribed,
and that the Congo of the future will
be able to function as going concern.
Otherwise, one of two things probably
will happen. The war will be renewed
until Katanga is destroyed, or the
Communists who have been lurking in
the wings will move in and take control.
Neither of these prospects can possibly
appeal to either Mr.. Tshombe or Mr.
Adoula, and this perhaps is the best
hope for the future.

Aqoin the Verdict-GuiIty

In the somber twilight Of its clos
ing 1861 session. session which one
delegate described as having started
tragically and ended on a note of
sadness"-the United Nations General
Assembly at least found the strength
to reaffirm its condemnation of two
most appalling crimes against man
kind. 1t is good, in these tortured
times, that 1t was willing and able to
do so, even though those whose guilt
is beyond question remain callously
indifferent
In each case, these were crimes
against virtually an entire people-in
1856, the savage Red Russian sup
preston Of the spontaneous freedom
movement in Hungary and, in 1859,
the equally inhumane mass extermi-
nation Of the Buddhist leaders of Tibet
by the Red Chinese. Despite every
obstruction on the part Of the guilty
ones, objective and responsible au-
thorities have written the record of
these atrocities. 1t was special COM
mittee Of the u. N. itself that de-
scribed the Hungarian uprising against
Communist rule as spontaneous, and
found that it had been crushed by
heavily armored Soviet forces-largely
Mongols and Tartars of Central Asia,
whose tactics were those of brutality
ruthlesSness and torture" And it was
the International Commission of Jur-
lists, associated with the U. NJ Eco
nomic and Social Council, that pro-
nounced the Red Chinese guilty Of
genocide in their systematic extermi-
nation Of the religious and cultural
leaders Of defenseless Tibet.
To its credit, a voting majority
of the U. N. repeatedly has registered
its condemnation despite the hypo-
critically angry protest Of its Com
muniSt members and their sometime
fellow travellers. Still on the record,
though ignored and dishonored, is a
resolution demanding withdrawal Of
Soviet troops from Hungary and ad-
mission to that country Of a special
U. N. representative to report on what
has happened there since 1856. Still
on the record also is Russian
Hungarian treaty Of 1947 which stipu-
lates that Soviet forces would be with
drawn after similar withdrawal from
Austria. The last Soviet troops left
Austria in October, 1855.
There are fears, and perhaps fully
justified, that the U. N. itself is NOV
ing toward disintegration and perhaps
death. II so, at least those who had
the courage in this weeks closing
session to speak once more in defense
Of morality may live in peace with
their conScienceS.

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Retrocing a Noted Explorers Steps
By DONALD MINTZ

or explorer? And which was
Sir Hubert? There is talk of
scientific achievement, but it
is vague and subordinated to
the physical exploits. Was
there much scientific knowl-
edge gained during Sir HUI
bert's many expeditions?
What was its nature? There
are no such answers In this
book. ..
And as personal biography
in terms of recitation of out
ward facts, there is much to
be desired. Sir Hubert must
have had opponents and enc
mics. some personal, others
more or less scientific. One
learns so little about them,
so little about the merits Of
this or that particular case,
that one comes more and
more to suspect that the
clumsy hand of the official
biographer (and CENSOR is at
work.
THE FIRST-PERSON mar
rator - perhaps we should
call him wilkins Thomas -
seems to ascribe many as
poets of his career to the
wheel of fate. AS it appears in
the book this characteristic is
simply naive, yet it may be
indicative of a curious trait
in Sir Hubert's character, q
trait well worth serious con-
sideration.
Inevitably, we catch brief
glimpseS of some of the fun
damental changes in the art
and science of exploring the
unknown wrought by radio
and the airplane, and the dis
placement Of the lone, low
budget explorer by the ex-
pensive and elaborate organ
ization of modern scientific
parties. But these are little
more than hints unencum-
bered by elucidation.
The tone is set early in the
book with the story of Sir
Hubert's adventures in the
Balkan War of 1912. If the
participants were more than
mountebankS and fools, If
there were any issues, real or
imagined, wilkins Thomas
seems not to have been aware
of it.
Sir Hubert wilkins was an
important figure in explora-
ticn. 1t is hard to believe
that he was the simple mind
ed musketeer of the airplane
who appears in this book.

supporters OF the U. N. ac-

suffer from the common de-
lusion that all Katangans are
primitive savages whose kill
ings are regrettable but no
more murder than the daily
events in any Slaughterhouse.
In fact, the literacy rate in
Katanga, well above SO per
cent, is far higher than in
any other African country.
The only possible leaders
in Katanga are men with the
dual qualification as chiefs
Of Katanga tribes, and as
educated and competent in
dividuals. These requirements
are met by Tshombe and
Munongo. No outsider, by
whomsoever appointed, will
be able to run Katanga, even
with 10000 U. N. troops in
definitely at his service. The
same problems will plague
the central government and
the U. N. whoever the lead
ers in Katanga. Tshombe Is

and detribalized of them all.

Even apart from its inf
mite and sacred meaning to
so many on this earth,
Christmas in some form
would have to be invented
II it did not already exist.
For once a year is little
enough time for all men, of
whatever religion or of none,
to choose fairness, at least,
even where they do not
choose the warmer virtues of
compassion and charity.
Christmas, that is to say,
is a time, among other
things, to recall what is
right with this country, its
Government and its leaders,
and to forget for a while
what has been wrong, in the
Congo. the United Nations
and wherever.
Not all has been going
badly for us, and it Is not
against the law to recall
some facts in this season.

This fact is that he is

not on this or that issue,
he has in fact behaved as

Civil Defense Deterrent to NucIeor War

At last a practicable pro-
gram for civil defense, un-
der Federal guidance and
assistance, has emerged. It's
success, however, will depend
primarily on the public at
titude toward it. I find my
self disturbed by the num-
ber of intelligent, patriotic
and sincere persons whose
attitude is one of complete
indifference and, in some
cases, outright opposition.
Where this latter is the case,
it usually rests on the ill
founded contention that civil
defense on a massive scale,
destined to be futile anyhow,
will be provocative of war.
How unrealistic this is when
account is taken of the facts:
Cd That the Soviet well
knows that no initial attack
is contemplated by the United
States, and (2) that, If civil
defense were to be neglected
on that score, then by the
same logic we would have
to abandon our whole de-
fense program. centering in
maintenance of adequate re-
taliatory power, as provoca-
tive of war.
What these people seem
not to realize is that they
are placing in additional
jeopardy not only their own
lives but those also Of their
neighbors and fellow citizens.
For such an attitude, If
widely held, is bound to
slacken the pace and dim
inish the extent Of effective
action in this field, especially
as it relates to action by
the States and local COM
munities.
