strength may have come up
to the level of the West.
It's the same old story OF
hesitation and timidity in
international affairs which
in the past have character
lied the policies of Western
Europe. winston Churchill
ruefully describes this atti-
tude in his book The Gath
ering Storm" as he reviews
the mistakes in the 1930s be-
fore World War II. His
analysis. published in 1948,
reads as follows:
History, which we are
told is mainly the record of
the crimes, follies and miser-
les of mankind, may be
secured and ransacked to
find a parallel to this sudden
and complete reversal of five
or six years policy of easy
going placatory appease-
ment, and its transformation
almost overnight into a read
mess to accept an obviously
imminent war on far worse
conditions and on the great
est scale.
Still, if you will not fight
for the right when you can
easily win without bloodshed;
If you will not fight when
your victory will be sure and
not too costly; you may
come to the moment when
you will have to fight with
all the odds against you and
only a precarious chance of
survival.
There may even be a
worse case. You may have to
fight when there is no hope
of victory. because it is
better to perish than live as
slaves"
Plainly the time is ap-
preaching when a major de-
cision must be made by the
West. A war limited to con-
ventional forces means a
Russian victory, as they have
superiority in land troops.
Gen. Eisenhower, as Presi-
dent, left no doubt that, If
any conflict of arms of a
major character arose, nu-
clear weapons would be used
by the United States. An
explicit reiteration Of that
policy is essential today if
the Soviets are to be deferred
in their program of agrees
sion.

There are those who want
to chisel away the freedoms
guaranteed in our Constitu-
ton. saying we must do so
to save ourselves. Both Chris
tianity and personal freedom
die when a MuSsolini, a Hit
Ter, a Stain, or any other of
their breed reign.
1t is necessary, as President
Kennedy has so well said,
that we lose sight of none of
the guarantees on which JUS
tice is based-the right of the
accuser to be faced by those
who accuse.
So, let US not forget that
the issue remains the same

the professionals of the NATO
tend to discount. According
to reliable information, they
are convinced Mr.. Khrush-
chev will not dare, or be
allowed by his military, to use
them.
The Soviet ground forces
are excellent, both numeri-
cally and qualitatively. De-
spite the announcement of
last year by Moscow that the
effectives had been reduced

tion to disarmament. the Red
armies are 168 divisions

ing pictures showing the de

Nations forces in Korea by the
Chinese and North Koreans

The training of the Soviet
forces is intense and the
equipment the best and most
modern available. On paper,
the huge force, backed by
well-trained reserves of some
$50 divisions ready for action
within 80 to As days, would
be really formidable if the
strength of the NATO forces
beyond the Elbe had not
materially increased in the
last few months.
European specialists see
the weak point as the fact
that Russian armies have
never won battles outside
their own territory. 1t is only
in defense of their fatherland
that they fight as first class

Visiting President DispeIs Rumors
Of White House Goodness to Brown

While the President was
charming the multitudes, Mr..
O'Brien and Mr.. O'Donnell
were getting down to cases
with the work horses of the
party. On Sunday morning
after the 500 dinner, they
sat down at breakfast with
the 1860 Kennedy campaign
manager for Southern Cali
fornia, Jesse Unruh, newly
elected State Democratic
Chairman Eugene Wyman,
the president of the State
wide Council of Democratic
Clubs. local leaders from Los
Angeles and San Diego, and
Representative Mike Kirwan,
chairman of the House Dem
ocratic Campaign Committee,
who had flown on to Los
Angeles from Speaker Ray
burns funeral at Bonham to
join the session.
All were agreed that the
Observation-Disclosures legis-
lature of California had done
its work we'll. Their party
would start the 1862 cam
paign with a built-in ad-
vantage in most of the eight
new congressional districts
allotted the State in 1860
because of the growth in
population.
The experts from Wash
tngton then explained that
absolutely nothing could be
left to chance in insuring
all of the new seats for the
Democrats and protecting
those they already held.
California, with it's large
number of "favorably dis

tricted" new seats, was the
administrators ace in the
hole against serious losses
reapportionment could cost
the party elsewhere.
The reapportionment Sys-
tenn Gov. Rockefeller's legiS-
lature recently approved is
likely to cost the Democrats
three to five House seats from
New York, Mr.. Kennedy's ex-
perts figure. Similar losses
are almost certain in Illinois
and Pennsylvania. Should
those two States yet decide
to elect all their represen-
tatives at large, as they may,
the Democrats might be clob-
bered-at a price of IA seats
in Pennsylvania and IA more
in Illinois.
Putting this all together
would spell trouble to any
clear-sighted politician. The
men the President has put
in charge Of guarding his
present majority in Congress
and adding to it if they can
in 1862, are not noted for
astigmatism. Nor would they
look forward to explaining
to their party leader why
his majority had dwindled.
Every one of the 125 districts
Democrats class as CLOSE"
will, therefore, receive direct
White House attention in the
coming months, by present
plans. The tacticians assume
the President will be per-
sonally active, will go wher-
ever he feels his presence
might help increase his ma
jority.
Californians hear they can
expect to see him again in
early spring.

John F. Kennedy's stop
over in Los Angeles on his
recent trip west left Callfor-
MIA Democrats beaming.
The President promptly
dispelled rumors of White
House GOODNESS toward Gov.
Pat Brown by lauding the
Governors record at great
length to $500 of the Demo-
cratic faithful who crowded
a $l00-a-plate Embarrassing
dinner. Local leaders hope
that those who paid an ad-
dltional $1,000 a couple to
shake the presidential hand
at cocktails will be inspired
to give till it hurts still more
for Gov. Browns reelection
campaign against Richard
Nixon.
But happiest of all are the
California party leaders who
met privately with the politi-
cal pros Mr.. Kennedy
brought to Los Angeles with
him. From the Presidents
political right-hand men
Larry O'Brien and Kenneth
O'Donuell they got the good
news that California has a
top priority in administra-
ton planning for the 1862
congressional campaign. Pre-
sumably. Californians con-
clude. this will cntitle them
to the personal attention of
the President, Mr.. O'Brien
and Mr.. O'Donnell, in con-
trast to 1860 when the
Youngest Kennedy brother,
Teddy, was the best the cam
paign organization could find
to put in charge of the West.

The Dark Forest of Danger Is Found
Still Around Us, as With the PiIqrims

In the Book of Common
Prayer. the Litany, one finds:
Almighty God, Father of
all mercieS, we. Thine un-
worthy servants, do give Thee
most humble and hearty
thanks for all Thy goodness
and loving kindness to us, and
to all men,"
1t is a prayer which con-
tains the spiritual essence Of
the day we call ''Thanksgiv-
ing Day" 1t captures pretty
we'll what the men and wom-
en- felt when they held the
first such day. They had
been close to danger. They
had known death, sorrow,
fear. disappointment.
But. they had come seek
ing personal freedom. They
had found it. but it had been
a harsh experience, and the
outlook was for more severity
and austerity. But, however
severe. they had survived, and
therefore God did indeed
seem kind, good and merci-
full.
Thanksgiving Day is pc
culiarly American. And like
all such special days, of what
ever origins, it has its own
flavor and color-the tur-
KEY, the Indians, the snow,
dark shadows Of forests
and the heavily laden table.
It was an easy, natural
thing at that first Thanks
giving. There was the for

ROME-Comrade Khrush-
chey is disappointed, accord
ing to reports from neutral
and some satellite sources.
over the failure of his black
jack methods to soften up
the West, especially the
United States.
He had hoped that his
provocations. ranging from
the Berlin wall to the super
bomb. would make such a
deep impression on London,
Washington and other NATO
members that there would
be a rush to Moscow to ne
gotiste and sign an ill-con-
cealed surrender.
Nothing of the sort has
happened. Whatever nego-
tiations are going on behind
the scenes are perfunctory
and give the Russian tyrant
little satisfaction.
Western public opinion,
which Mr.. Khrushchev so
despises, has injected new
courage and determination,
particularly in the. United
States. Recent statements by
President Kennedy Defense
Secretary Mcnamara and
others show a new kind of
confidence in our might
which should have been
shown in the early days of
the crisis.

soldiers. The only exception
was their victory over the
German armies in the last
war. But it must be recalled
that the Nazi forces were
then completely demoralized
and their once formidable
equipment and supplies ex-
hausted after the terrific
drubbing they had received
from the Western forces.
The Russian air force is an
unknown quantity. 1t is well
enough determined that it
has excellent planes, ranging
from fighters to heavy bonn
bers capable of carrying
nuclear bombs. But planes
alone, regardless of how mod
ern and excellent, do not
make an air force-any more
than fine ships make a navy.
1t is the men vino count. And
in this respect today's Rus
sian airmen are still an un-
known quantity.
The Soviet surface navy is
causing no real concern to
the West. And although the
muc h touted submarines
could be a menace to the
NATO powers in the event
of a war, they would not be
a greater threat than the
Nazis we're until 1914.
All these factors, which Of
course are better known to
Mr.. KhruShchev than to US,
are the real deterrent to the
Red dictator's unleaShing a
war. His excellent military,
naval and air advisers are
keeping him informed about
the number and quality of
Allied air and naval forces.
The shrewd Soviet Premier
expected to carry the day
with his latest blusterings
and threats. but so far he
has failed. The consensus in
Europe is that he will not
dare to make good his threats
so long as we maintain our
guard and refuse to cover
when he rants.

The Soviet Union now has
embarked on a far more dan
gerous aggression than in her
current offensive around
Berlin. The aim is to en-
circle Scandinavia and cut
off Norway. Sweden and
Denmark. as well as Fin
land. from association with
the West in any military,
political or economic ties.
This could mean the en-
forced withdrawal of Norway
and Denmark from the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
1t could mean the domi-
nation of hitherto neutral
Sweden.
The Soviet procedure, as
usual, is to move cautiously
step by step to see how the
West reacts. The West has
been silent thus far. Several
days have passed since the
Moscow government put its
heavy hand on Finland, but
the rest of the world seems
to have accepted without
