Just a Scrap of Paper?


peace-loving citizen of the
world, would gladly dance
at the wake for the atomic
sword which has long hung
over our heads.
But with all due respect
for Mr.. Harriman's negotiat-
ing endeavors and for his
specialized background in
Russian intrigue, as a plain,
ordinary member of the hu-
man race-I wonder. What
are Mr.. Khrushchev's secret
plans in connection with the
proposed test ban treaty?
Why has he heretofore OPP
posed, so adamantly, an
agreement involving periodic
inspections? If he agreed not
to test and did not test,
what would he have to fear?
The present treaty, being
hailed as a major step to-
ward easing cold war ten
Sions," has a gaping hole. 1t
leaves that huge room-the
Russian underground - to
Mr.. K. for his continuing
Vaccinations and further
ance Of his quest for world
dominance. If Mr.. K. sin
cerely desired easement of
cold war tensions he would
forthwith denude Cuba Of all
the potential aggression he
has voyaged there.
II, perchance, the treaty
evolves into something more
than just a piece Of paper,
fine. But let us not make
merry in the streets yet
awhile. Too many times has
this weary old world been
beguilded and betrayed by
knaves.

years has not resulted in so
much as a bloody nose among
the Reds, and may well be
part Of the grandiose scheme

In 1858, the American Bar
Association Committee on
Communist Tactics, Strait

our relations with the USSR
since recognition in 1888
Their conclusions were that,

tered into with the USSR,

Our attempts to buy Rus

naught. At Yalta in January

in and take Manchuria so
that they would enter the
