Communist Offensive Calls For
Many Years of Tough Resistance
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
America's direct-spoken ambassador to Moscow, Lt. Gon. Walter
Bedell Smith, has given us a line which should be chiseled Into every
doorstep of Democracy lest we forget.
Discussing liusso-Amcrican relations at a press conference In
Pittsburgh, the general said he felt things might continue In their
present state Indefinitely without worsening or bettering. lie added
we can t afford to allow our
selves to be lulled into a false
sense of security; neither can we
afford to become hysterical. . . .
We must view this as n long term
thing. The Hussian Politburo
(core of the Soviet dictatorship)
also thinks In terms of years."
That puts the thing In a nut
shell, not only for the United
States but for all the Democra
cies, So, leaving the ambassador
- out ' of further discussion, let's
examine the situation from that
standpoint.
Constant Alert Needed
We are In for a long, hard fight.
It might last another generation
two generations. There's no
gauge by which to make an esti
mate. But it could be fatal if we didn't
recognize that our creates! rinn.
gnr lies in allowing ourselves to
be lulled Into a sense of security
by any seeming slackening of the
Moscow drive. We must beware of
Red Trojan horses.
Communist espionage long has
been going on in America and
other nations. The Un-American
Activities Committee of the House
of Representatives slated a few
days ago "the Committee knows
. . . that there are Communists In
government today."
The Red Ism is straining every
nerve to gain control of trade
unions the world over. It is spread
ing Insidious propaganda through
schools. It Is overlooking no bets
hut It is reconciled to the Idea that
it Is committed to a long-range
Jlght.
Must be Handled as Crime
Because of the nature of this
Bolshevist offens've It can be
dealt with onlv as we would han
dle ordinary crime. We've gut to
hunt It down and t reat It as we
woum any other gangsterism.
This doesn't mean that we have
to refuse all dealings with Russia.
While there Is no hope of making
any deal whereby the whole con
flict could be called off, there are
things on which the Communists
might compromise because of self
interest. These relatively minor
compromises might delay or even
avert anoiner world war.
The grand strategy of the Bol
shevists Is to knock us off one at
a time. Therefore our cue, and the
cue of all other Democratic coun
tries, is to wage unceasing war
against the inroads of Commun
ism at home, while Joining in the
general defense In theaters like
western fcurope.
Republican Chairman
Raps Truman's Program
WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-UP)
Republican National Chairman
Hugh heott Jr.. said yesterday
that "If Mr. Truman has his way,
uus win De Known as tne grab
bag and pay-off Congress."
Commenting on the program
laid down In Mr. Truman's state
of the union message, Scott
said:
"Mr. Truman Is rolling high
dice with the people's money.
"He proposes to the Congress
unequal distribution of the na
tion's wealth to pay off every
pressure group in the land."
"No one." be said in a state
ment, "can disagree with the
statement that 'wealth should lie
created for the benefit of all,'
but Is It required that this wealth
be taken away from the Indi
vidual in the form of new taxes
and sluiced back to him after
deduction of federal broketagc
fees to support thousands of ad
ditional federal employes?"

Messenger for Recording Angel
Reminds of Broken Resolutions
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. (P) The man had stayed late at his office,
sat alone, scratching moodily on a desk pad.
The pencil wrote:
"I hereby resolve In the coming new year to ."
The man got up, walked across
the empty office to the water
cooler, pressed the foot pedal
The water, as usual, spurted up
and nit mm in tne lace.
"D n!" the man said absent-
mindedly. He walked back to hts
desk and began to scribble out
his resolutions:
"To drink bigger glasses of
water and smaller glasses of stuif
that isn t water.
"To read one good new book
and one good old book every
momn.
'To quit yelling at my wife.
'To quit veiling at the kids.
'To quit getting to the office
late.
To take my wife out to dinner
and an evening of lun at least
once a week.
"To quit betting on horses.
"To save some money.
"To buy my wife a fur coat.
"To get eight hours of sleep
every night."
One Wlah Gratified
And so the man wrote on until
he had 25 resolutions written
down. By then the moodiness had
left his face, and he was smiling.
He paused and looked over his
work, and found It good.
"Not a bad list, If I do say so,"
he said smugly. "This would im
press the recording angel himself
If I had a way to get lt up to
heaven."
He looked at the buzzer on his
desk and a wild fancy came into
his mind.
"What if" he mused. Then
he made a wish, and pressed the
buzzer. Immediately the door
opened and in came a tall stern
figure robed In white. He held a
file of papers In his hands.
"Any messages for upstairs
Sir?" asked the ghostly figure.
"Why, wh - wh - wh - who are
you?" stammered the man at the
desk.
"I'm the angel of truth, now
on special assignment as mes
senger for the recording angel,"
lid the f cure. "Didn't vnu lust
wish for a messenger?"
les, said the man, "hut w
don't usually get that kind nf
service in this office."
What did you want me to de
liver?" asked the angel.
"My new year's resolutions "
said the man. The angel took the
list and scanned it quicklv i
"Im glad vou broueht thin un " i
said the angel. "You've been cans-'
ing us a lot of unnecessary book
keeping. I have here your pre
vlous lists for the last 10 vears. i
Please look them over."
Reminded of Broken Promises
The man, abashed, did so.
"You will find. I think" .ild
the angel crisply, "that all these
He,
years you've been making lists
promising exactly the same re
forms." The man at the desk held up
one old list and said defensively:
"Well, this one doesn't say any
thing about stopping yelling at
the kids."
"That one was made out before
you had any children," said the
angel coldly. "But otherwise yeai
after year you've taken up a
whole page in the golden book
making promises you haven't car
ried out.
"The recording angel is tired
of this. He says for you either to
start living up to your wordor
Just tell him honestly now you
don't intend to, so he can Just put
in carbon copies to cover you JEor
the rest of your life." ,
"Take up the list Just once
more,' said the man. "I'll do my
very best this year to keep my
resolutions."
The angel took It, gave him a
golden smile. There was a puff
of light and the angel was gone.
The man got up from his desk,
put on his coat and hat and start.
ed for the door. He paused at the
water cooler and pushed the foot
pedal. The water sDurted un
and hit him In the face.
The man started to say
"D n!" but then he pausicl
He remembered that the 19th
item on his list of resolutions
was to stop saving that word
when the water cooler hit him In
the face.
"Somebody ought to fix that
machine." he said mildly, and
walked out feeling better. It
looked like the start of a good
new year.
