How the Soviets State q Case

agencies. the overwhelming
majority Of the American
people are demanding ever
more resolutely that their
Government agree to dis
armament, that it stop
nuclear-weapon tests. How
ever. those to whom power
belongs in the q. S. A., do
not heed these demands of
the people. Is that democ-
racy?
''DistruSt is great and
mutual. However, both sides
must now exert all efforts to
overcome this distrust, to
ease tension. The Soviet side
is doing everything possible
for this"
The significant paragraph
in the Soviet comment is at
the very end, where,it is con-
coded that "distrust is great
and mutual" and that the
real problem is to exert ef-
forts to overcome this dis
trust. While the Soviet ar
ticle says that their side is
doing everything possible
for this" it is to be noted
that the Geneva conference
on disarmament is breaking
up without an inch being
given in the negotiations by
the Moscow government.
The QUESTIONABLE referred
to above was circulated prior
to the World Congress for
General Disarmament and
was designed to show that
political and public leaders,
scientists and writer's Of diff
ferent countries are all ia
vorable to disarmament. The
only other comment from the
United States published in
the Soviet News Bulletin is
headed Conscience Of Amer
ica." by Howard Lowson,
identified by the Soviets as
an American writer and pub
lie leader" He declares that
there are forces in the q. s.
which are determined to pur-
sue aggressive policies and. to
maintain international ten
sionS as a means of extend
ing their power.
The published answers
from various individuals in
other countries in the main
follow the Communist line,
and it is interesting to note
that it was only concerning
the statement Of THIS writer
that the Soviet editors felt
constrained to make any COM
ment Of their own.

MOSCOW, July 26.-The odd
distribution of a kind Of tumor
among children in a mosquito
belt of tropical Africa supports
the theory that at least some
human cancers are caused by
viruses, it was reported today
This cancer in Africa occurs
almost exclusively in a broad
belt cutting across the tropics
from the East to the West
Coast Of the continent-t h e
very belt that is the haunt OF
certain mosquitoes and Of other
insects called "Tabonids," q
Uganda doctor reported to the
eighth International Cancer
Congress now in session here.
DR.. D. H. Wright Of Kampala
said he believes the disease is
caused by some still unidenti-
fled virus which may be carried
by insects in the area.
He described the tumor as
a lymphoma, a cancerous
process involving the lymph
system.
Hits Young Children
It's a disease found most
often in children 3 to 6 years
old.
In most victims, the cancer
primarily affects the jaw, but
also may affect the kidneys,
adrenal glands, liver, ovaries,
testicles. thyroid and part Of
the abdomen.
THE tumor is not confined
to African children" the doctor
said. explaining that Asians
and Europeans are affected.
These tumors comprise half
the total childhood cancers
seen in Kampala.

Gov. Smylie, vigorous and

The prosperity of neighbor-

DAVID Lawrence, Ameri-

Replying to your request
for my opinion as to whether
disarmament Is possible now
or In the near future I
regret to say that I do not
think it is. I say this because,
to achieve any international
agreement, it Is necessary to
have good faith on both sides.
Unfortunately, the record Of
the. Soviet government in
breaking agreements repeat
edly makes many people in
the United States feel that a
disarma am mt agreement
would not be worth the
paper on which it Is written.
I'VE in America also find it
difficult to accept the word
Of q government which does
not believe in God, and which,

lieve In morality.
pisarm a m emit will be
achieved only when there Is

happen until there is q de-
cided change in the attitude

that If the people Of the So

Sight of Huge Buddho Stotue at Nara
Strs Thoughts of Cultural Change

NARA, Japan.-It may be
merely the size Of the Buddha
which causes the visitor to
stand In awe before the great
image called Daibutsu in the
temple Of Todai-ji near the
city Of Nara. And then again
it may be something else.
Buddhism flourished in ia
pan in the period from TO-
1874 AID. as 1t never would
again. It was a time Of pure
Buddhism and before the
coming Of the many sects
and the infiltrating influence
of 4Shintoism. Buddhism, of
course, still Is one Of the
worlds most ethical and
philosophic religions. But it
is more, even, than this which
causes the visitor to stand
in reverence and wonder as
he stares up at the large,
yet somehow marvelously
graceful figure of bronze.
The Daibutsu Buddha is
50, feet and % inches high.
The length Of the face is not
quite Is feet, the nose not
quite 2 feet. the ear 81a feet
and the thumb almost 2 feet.
Despite this heaviness of
statistics the Buddha, sit
ting on a huge bronze lotus
flower, has q graceful SYM
metry Of line and form. It
has sat there, with repairs,
since about 1900 AID. It was
almost 800 years old when
Columbus sailed in search
Of q new world. It is majestic
and huge, but it is not mas
siye. It Is the cleanness of
line and flow Of it that makes
thu. image awesome and beau
tiful.
The imagination takes hold
and causes one to wonder
how the artist made his
model and, even more, to ask
how it was cast so perfectly
in bronze.

Red Paper Sees Malicious U. S. Position
In Writer'S Reply to q Question

frankness, Mr.. Lawrence. /"
Here is the verbatim excerpt
as distributed by the Soviet
News Bulletin:
The answer Of David Law
renee, an opponent Of dis
armament, deserves the at
tention Of broad sections of
readerS-even though it is
permeated with fierce malice
against our country. Indeed.
it is the frankeSt statement
of the position Of q. s. in
fluential circles. They are
against disarmament. They
are for the preservation of
international tension and
the ornaments race, which
not only bring tremendous
profits to the United States
monopoIes. but help them to
enslave the underdeveloped
countries in Latin America,
Asia, Europe. -.
Rejecting the idea Of
general disarmament, Mr..
Lawrence advances 'condi-
tons on which he and his
masters would agree to be
more lenient. There are two
conditions in the main: We
Soviet people, must believe
in God, and replace the ex-
listing system in our country
by a system similar to the
American, allegedly demo-
cratic and free
But belief in God did not
prevent the United States
Government from violating
the agreements it solemnly
signed in PotSdam on the
demilitarization and democ-
ratization Of Germany, from
arming the West German
revanchist militarists, despite
these agreements. Belief in
God does not prevent that
government from exploding
nuclear bombs in outer space,
regardless Of the obligation,
it itself adopted, to work
jointly with the Soviet Union
on the peaceful study of
outer space.
I'VE are for strengthening
confidence between our
states. And we do not place
any conditions for replacing
the United States social sys-
tenn. Mr.. Lawrence's letter
does not raise the prestige
OF that system in our eyes.
