WhenBrugg Took the Wrong Turn

where SO years before, Abra-
ham Lincoln had been born.
Buell. got back to save
Louisville and the vital riv-
er. And Bragg inaugurated
his Governor. who reigned
perhaps an hour in the old
statehouse. Then Buell., his
communications safe, turned
on Bragg and there was the
indecisive Battle of Perry
vile. And Bragg went south
with his grumbling soldiers
and retreated ANONYMOUSLY
to Tennessee.
What would have hap
pened If Bragg had taken the
road north out of Munford-
vile instead of the road
northeast? You cannot say
the South would have won
its war, for the manpower.
the industrial power and the
logistics would have still
weighed heavily against her.
Even with the best breaks,
the Confederacy would have
been only a long-shot hope.
But the disaster of q Con-
federate army blocking the
Ohio, even If only for q week,
MIGHT have forced the tall
man in the White House to
keep his proclamation in its
pigeonhole. And Lord Palm
erston, studying his maps Of
America and Weighing opin-
ion in the parlia m e t,
MIGHT have determined to
risk recognition of Richmond.
And the the whole force of
the British navy COULD have
been thrown into the break
up of the Union blockade.
And then, who knows, the
Copperheads and the peace
howlers and the disinterest-
ed new immigrants in the
Northern States might have
forced an armistice and the
end Of the war on Southern
terms.
You drive down the one
block business district Of
Munfordville. The crowd is
pouring out Of the Saturday
afternoon movie.
On the southwest corner Of
the intersection Clark's Rex
all Drugstore is very busy
and on the northeast corner
the wives of tobacco farmers
are paving the sales items in
the Dollar Store. No one
seems to be concerned with
what went on exactly one
century ago.
But the sign says U. 8.
Route 31-W to Louisville
straight,ahead, and Kentucky
State Highway 357 to Hodg-
enville turn right.
You wonder If you aren't
standing at the crossroads of
America.

WILLIAM S. WHITE
COP. Louded on Cuba Action

should the Presidents reci-
procity to the Republican
leaders be? Though political
drill would hardly permit him
to indorse them, he ought at
minimum to put nothing real
in the way Of their re-
election. Neither personal
nor ordinary political con-
Siderations nor party labels
are really relevant here.
What is relevant here is not
some domestic welfare pro-
gram but rather the well
fare Of the United States Of
America.

Narrow Reading of Monroe Doctrine
Only Encourages Red Penetrotions


Time was when q Presi-
dent of the United States
didn't hesitate to speak
forthrightly and to act in
support Of the principles Of
human freedom anywhere in
the world. Two Presidents,
both Democrats - Woodrow
Wilson and Franklin D.
Roosevelt-led the American
people as they made sacri-
fices for that same basic
principle in two world wars.
But today there is q
strange silence-even a fear
that it is "indiscreet" or that
it's loose talk" to urge that
America speak and act in be-
half Of human beings in Cuba
or against the cruelty Of
their oppresSors or against
the autocratic government in
Moscow which is giving mil
itary assistance to a tyranni-
cal dictatorship in Havana.
The latest excuse or alibi
now given wide currency by
advisers Of President Ken
nedy = and fed out to the
press here-is that the Mon
roe Doctrine has been re-
pealed because America en-
tered World War I and World
War II. 1t is averred that
the United States, by mill
tarily assisting certain gov
ernments in Europe and Asia
during the "Cold War" has
forfeited her right to act in
behalf Of peoples in this
hemisphere who have had
their freedoms taken from
them by Communist i'm
perialism.
If this concept gains
strength, it cannot but en-
courage the Soviets to pene-
trate with impunity North
and South America as well
as every other continent. For.
In effect, the advocates of
this philosophy are saying
that this country has no
right to interfere with Soviet
conquest of Cuba because the
United States now has, under
the North Atlantic Treaty,
military bases in various
European countries. This can
only mean that America
must, therefore, recognize
the Soviet occupation not
only of Cuba but of the
Baltic states, Czechoslovakia,
Poland, Hungary, Romania
and Bulgaria. Can the So

Congress has acted respon-
sibly in the Cuban affair.
Thanks largely to q Re-
publican leadership unwill-
ing to fish for votes in these
darkly troubled waters, Con-
gress has maSsively pro-
claimed bipartisan backing of
the President in whatever he
may think needs be done
not excluding invasion as a
last reSort-to prevent the
Soviet lodgment in Castro
Cuba from becoming a direct
military threat to this coun-
try and hemisphere.
Two things Of capital i'm
portance now remains to be
seen. How will President
Kennedy repay the self-re-
straint Of those Republican
leaders. Senator Everett Dirk
sen Of Illinois and Repre-
sentative Charles Halleck Of
Indiana. both Of whom are
up for reelection this fall?
And what course will the
hulking and sinister third
force in this matter, the So
Wet Union, now take to seek
maximum embarrassment of
the United States in this, a
Congressional election year?
Manifestly, whatever
course Nikita Khrushchev
may take will sweat the
Democrats politically more
than the Republicans, since
the Democrats Dear the onus
for dealing with Castro Cuba.
This, however, is relatively a
trifling thing, assuming that
most Of us put country well
above party.
The real concern among
the top people in both parties
is something else altogether.
1t is the danger that Mr..
Khrushchev, may overesti-
mate the significance in for
eign-policy terms Of our divi-
sion on this question of which
party shall control Congress.
If he does so overestimate, he
well may take further pro-
vocative action in Cuba, on
the assumption that he can
get away with it amid our
political distractions or
simply that he can create
further confusions here.

viets point to q single ex-
ample Of the grant Of Ameri-
can military aid that has
resulted in any political con-
troll by the United States?
The whole thing Is an L.
lustration Of how expediency
leads to one retreat after an
other. For the United States
has Just announced, through
White House and State De-
partment pronouncements,
that Americas armed forces
will be used only to repel
military attacks on this
country or its neighbors. This
is a doctrine Of isolation rem
iniscent Of the days when
prominent Republicans op-
posed American entry into
either Of the two world wars
on the grounds that the in
terests Of this country were
not directly affected. 1t was,
Of course, just a means Of
appealing to pacifistic senti-
ment.
Twice the dictatorship gov
ernment in Berlin miscon-
strued this attitude as an
unwillingness on the part of
the United States to fight.
In the end. the deliberate at
tack on American rights on
the high seas forced this
country into the first World
War in 1917. While it was
Japan and not Germany that
attacked Pearl Harbor in
194l, the United States ac-
cepted the challenge as a
direct attack by the Nazi
regime as well. Indeed, the
United States made its main
war effort on the continent
of Europe and in North AZ
rica.
Thus, the United States in
two world wars has refused
to narrow the concept Of its
participation in world affairs
to either the Western or the
Eastern Hemisphere. TIL e
Monroe Doctrine has not been
narrowed. 1t has been broad
ened. From 1945 till a few
weeks ago American policy
has been worldwide and has
been based on the principle
that every people has a right,
to self-determination and that
it is the duty of the United
States to help rid the world
Of any sinister force that
now may invade only smaller
countries but in the end will

Lee his whole army. But Mo-
Clellan, being Mcclellan,
played his cards tirnidly, even
when he had peeked at his
opponents hand. Although
he had 10000 men to Lees
10000. Little Mac committed
them piecemeal and barely
won a stand-off.
But Lee, bitterly disap-
pointed, drew his army back
across the Potomac into Vir-
ginia. And five days later
Lincoln issued the Emanci-
patton Proclamation.
Lincoln had been waiting
for any victory-even a thin
one-to issue the paper. He
didn't want to bring 1t out
without a victory, because he
felt 1t would look like a des-
perate appeal to world SYM
pathy for his cause. Yet, once
issued, the Emancipation had
an immense effect. It drew
the slavery issue clearly. The
majority Of the British peo-
pie cheered it. And Lord
Palmerston, Queen Victoria's
Tory Prime Minister, who felt
it would be to Britain's in
terest If the United States
were split in two, postponed
once more his recognition Of
the South as a separate coun-
try.
Which h brings us back to
Munfordville.
Braxton Bragg had prac-
tically won the great foot
race toward Louisville. He
had started from Chattanoo-
ga on August 80 and before
Don Carlos Buell., the Union
leader in Nashville, could
gather his scattered forces
and start in pursuitS Bragg
was well ahead. Louisville
and the Ohio River lay open
to him.
But the Confederate high
command was full of lawyers,
and legalisms appealed to
them. 1t was argued that If
they could inaugurate the
Confederate Governor Of
Kentucky, Richard Hawes, in
a formal ceremony in the
State Capitol at Frankfort
they could truly claim that
Kentucky had Joined the
Confederacy as the 18th
State.
For two days Bragg hesi-
tated uncertainty at Mum
fordville. And then, just 100
years ago this week end. he
led his army to the right UP
the road toward Frankfort,
passing. ironically. through
the village of Hodgenville,
