Maybe this is no time to be

nation any favoritism by the
worlds best goodwill ambassador,
but we have always had the sneak

Americans are pretty close to be-
ing almost perfect human beings,
Take one of our attributes-our
generosity, for example. No nation
of people who ever lived on the
globe are as generous as Amer
leans. There are evidences Of this
great generosity found in every
part of the earth.
This is a quality that Santa
must like in us, and it is a Christ
like quality, because above all,
Jesus Of Nazareth gave generous
ly of himself-even his life in be-
laI OF the people.
When Santa on his annual
tour looks down at the so states

The us. can be classed with the
individual who gives Christmas
presents for the love of giving, and
making people happy. No other
nation has SO many, so interested
in the masses Of the earth at
home and abroad.
There is a school of thought to-
day which feels that the religious
festival of Christmas has become
far too commercialized. This point
Of view has some merit, but we
don't feel that it is completely
correct. However we feel that this
point of view should be considered
and the facts examined, because
many sincere people feel that the
festival has been exploited by COM
mercial interests to such a degree
that the reason for and real mean
ing of the festival are obscured.
We can only say that In the
complex modern society in which
we live, It Is necessary to recOg-
nIze that every facet of life Is
keyed to conditions as they exist
even Christmas. In tOday's life
the best things have to be sold
to most Of US.
We were one of those who used
to shudder because Christmas dec
orations and department stores
windows displaying Christmas toys
were lighted the day after Thanks
giving, that is, until we recognized
that days are required to get al
the children who want to look with
happy stares into the toy windows
at our department stores, a chance
to glimpse the display wonders.
Later we recognized also that
the complexities Of modern living
with its obvious demands on the
attention of the individual - a
Christmas holiday, even If relig-
ious based has to be promoted and
exploited, not only for commercial
gain but for the fullness of the
seasons enjoyment.
We remember that as a boy we
were confused because there ap-
peared a pre-Christmas Santa
Claus on every downtown street
corner. We were not convinced
when our nice Mother explained
that these extra Salvation Army
or Volunteers Of America Santas
were Just helpers of the depart
ment store. Santa who had shook
our hand patted our head, and
hurriedly asked US what we wanted
for Christmas.
"Gee," we used to say, there's
just too many santas, Nom, we
don't understand it." Another pat
on the head and anticipation Of
what awaited US on Christmas
morn usually dissapated our fears
and concerns.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Attorney General Kennedy
has found plenty of time to
spend on crusades abroad,
but a new opportunity is
opening up for him inside the
United States. A hint of it
came in a recent speech in
which he stressed the i'm
portance of getting the story
Of "the democratic way Of
life" across to students and
to the intellectual group" in
this country, just as he en-
deavored to do on his trip
around the world a few weeks
ago. A tape recording of the
impromptu comments made
in a question-and-answer
period following a speech by
Mr.. Kennedy before the Ad-
vertising Council Of America
has just become available.
He said:
II think that this has been
an area university students)
we've largely ignored in the
the past-and the intellectual
group. I don't think we've
made the effort that we
should have made and I don't
think we've concentrated on
the fundamentals about the
United States and our demo-
cratic way of life, whether it
be in this country or in other
areas"
Unfortunately, some Of the
fragmentary quotations from
his comments-aS reported in
the press and picked up by
former Vice President Nixon,
among others-gave the i'm
preston that Mr.. Kennedy
was minimizing the tactics of
Communists rather than the
size of their following inside
this country. What he was
trying to emphasize was the
steady diminution of mem
bership in the Communist
Party in America. When he
was asked how he evaluated
the so-called Communist con-
Spiracy in the United States,
he replied:
well, I would say that I
don't think they have any
power in the United States. I
think that it always poses
somewhat of a problem when
you have even a small group
active within a country who
take orders and instructions
and are financed by a foreign
power, as the Communist
Party in the United States is
at the present time. They
have no following. They have
been thoroughly discredited

through congressional COM

The Attorney General
probably meant that they
have no following outside the
party membership, because
he then added:
THE great problems and
difficulties, in my judgment,
are external and the effort
that has to be made in other
countries. 1t doesn't lie with
the Communist Party here in
the United States, with the
exception that I mentioned:
the fact that you have 5000
or 10000 people in the United
States who take their orders
and instructions from the
Soviet Union. I think that al
ways poses a danger, but I
think that's being dealt with
by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and I think that
what is almost hysteria about
the activities of Communists
within the United States is
misplaced apprehension"

now has supplemented his
remarks in a press conference

men.
What Senator Jackson said
amounts to a distillate Of the
case as seen by a large and
growing number Of politi-
clans. The last thing they
want to do is to injure the
real U. N. But the next last
thing they want is to allow
the U. N. to go on trying to
dominate the foreign policies
Of it's members-particularly
its Western members.
These are among the
things they believe:
That the U. N. was never
intended to be a substitute
for our own American leaders
as makers and movers of
American policy. Vital ma
tional interest Is still that
national interest. And it must
be cared for by the State
Department in Washington,
not in our U. N. office in
New York.
That the U.N. with all its
value as q forum and its
persuasive influence toward
peace-keeping Is properly a
useful international meeting
ground. But it is not prop
erly a place for dumping our
national problems-or for
permitting others to uSurp
our own powers and RESPONSE
bilities.
That the men primarily in
charge of U.N. affairs, AM
bassador Adlai Stevenson
and Assistant Secretary of
State Harlan Cleveland, are
unwise in their campaigns to
give more and more "execu-
tive responsibilities" to the
U.N. This kind of RESPONSE
bility belongs at home.
Senator Jackson politely
disclaims any personal criti-
cisnn of Mr.. Stevenson. Such
criticism, however, is ines
capably involved in the gen.
eral anxiety at U.N. empire
building. For empire build
ing is no proper part of the
functions Of the U.N. Nor
can it repeal the right Of
national self-defense. Nor Is

Critics Ask: Shall We Let Forum Usurp

Demands for a reexamina-
ton Of Americas relation
ships to the United Nations
are now insistently rising.
And they are coming from
genuine but cool headed
friends of the U.N. who can
not longer be fobbed off by
its wet-eyed and excessively

or other such bad types.
The hope must be that
from all this will at length
come a readjustment in the
balance as between sweet
ness and light. What is need
ed is much less warm sweet
ness and far more cool light.
For unless our official and
public attitudes toward the
U.N. can be made more ra-
tional, the U.N. itself Is
surely on the way out as a
significant forum.
At this point it needs not
happy adulation but rather
the brisk attentions Of prac-
tical-minded critics. Such
critics have for years existed
in plenty. Until now, how
ever, they have been largely
silent, for it has been difficult
to lay a single critical word
against the U.N. without be-
ing called a "reactionary."

enemy of the good and the
