More Moscow Bombast
Georpe M. Malenkov, the latest of many said to be
groomed as Stalin's successor, "a risinjr star" in the Soviet
heirarchy, the politbureau, said at the celebration of the
32nd anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution that any
"blood bath" of war would "dip; the grave of capitalism";
that Russia thouph possessing the atomic bomb docs not
want war, and is "doing every thing to prevent it," but the
United States has plans for a "world American empire
which dwarfs the schemes of German and Japanese aggres
sors altogether."
It is characteristic of Moscow to attribute to Americans
and West Europeans, or any nation that opposes Russian
aggression ail their own policies of conquest and tyrannical
imperialism, and proclaiming themselves the champions
of liberty anu freedom they are systematically and scien
tifically destroying or attempting to destroy. They per
vert even the dictionary definitions of freedom and de
mocracy. The Russian record in the United Nations reflects
their persistent sabotage, both by votes and vetoes and
oratory of world peace efforts. Their tyrannical system
of penetration, bloody purges, their mass deportation of
people to starvation slave camps for political opposition,
their perpetual practice of the crime of genocide for the
extermination of races, religion and opposition, they label
as "freedom" and their denial of inherent human rights as
"democracy," in a country where no one can own his
home or choope his occupation, and every scientist and
writer must conform to their own ideology.
As the old Roman emperors used to cover the country
with statues of the emperors as dieties, so does the polit
bureau plaster huge portraits of Stalin in every hamlet as
the god of communism, the great father from whom all
blessings flow while the radio 24 hours a day sings his
praise.
Any nationals refusing to wear the red yoke over their
neck and reduce themselves to a satellite state, are dubbed
imperialists" and to them is attributed all the crimes that
Moscow habitually practices. Soviet sins are always at
tributed to others while the Russians are the bright
knights in shining armor fighting for the holy grail.
If Malenkov has read history at all he would know that
It was the long civil war in Rome's empire that destroyed
city capitalism, on which the growth and power of the
empire was founded and led to the oriental tyranny of
Diocletian and Constantine to end the existing chaos, the
division of the empire, its decadence and faltering fall to
the barbarians.
As long as America and the western nations remain na
tions of free peoples, there is little chance for their perma
nent conquest by a slave nation. History is replete with
instances of the defeat of powerful tyrannies with slave
Armies by free peoples.
What Is the Answer Locally?
In Salem as in other communities of the nation, this
week is the time the people are asked to take a special look
at the schools. The week itself has the designation of
American education week.
The question to be raised in each person's mind is of
fered for consideration by President Truman. It is this:
"Are we being fair to our school children and to our teach
ers in the tools we give them for the building of tomor
row's citizens?"
That's a question that can be answered not in one casual
look at the schcols of the city but only by constant observa
tion. Since the constantly growing number of school-age
children is so noticeable in the Greater Salem area, the
problem is an ever-changing one.
Theme for the special week is "Making Democracy
Work." The theme points to the real reason for the schools
themselves.
Truman phrases the idea like this: "The inherent dignity
of man can only be exemplified through equality of oppor
tunity for all. In striving toward the objective, we look
to the American school as a standard bearer. Education
must be a dynamic force in the building and development
of a democracy."
The principle on which our nation was founded phrases
it this way: All men are created equal.
To General Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff
of the nation's armed forces, education in the U.S. has this
aim: "The good teacher and the good school have a real
part in bringing our youth to realize that material strength
must be matched by moral strength and a sense of indi
vidual responsibility if we are to make democracy work."
He expresses the feeling that "from the first school years
the teacher .Omulil build in the pupil an acceptance of indi
vidual responsibility as a citizen of the United States,
staunch in thp defense of essential principles and prepared
to sacrifice ticrsmial advantage for the common good."
To be specific, what arc the Salem schools doing?
The best way to find part of the answer to that question
is to do what lias been suggested: "Visit your schools."
War Is Over at Last for Them
Hiroshima, Japan, Nov. 1 iu Pi Two Japanese who spent
four years In the Junglr of Manus Island, living like twin
Robinson Crusoes, landed hrre today Ignorant ot the end of
the war.
Hideo Sato and Taihel Ikeda, last of the repatriates from
the south Pacific, said they lived In huts they built themselves
and existed on a dirt of snakes, small reptiles and coconuts.
"Later we learned to hunt wild pigs." one of them said.
"Some of them weighed about 400 pounds, and In two years
we consumed about 80 plus. The diet eventually crew monoto

son which the Japanese at home were told perished In a
last banial charge.

Sprague, a junior, was in com

into Pearl Harbor or any other
base, the senior admirals, un
trained in carrier battle forma

With the war over and the bat

appeared about to achieve full
recognition. Whereupon congress
passed the unification act, and
with it, the chief air responsibil

The full story of the navy's
airplane carriers was one of the
most heroic of the war, and the
heroism was even greater be
cause of a serious defect discov
ered in the carriers after the na
vy had built most of them.
This defect like most of the
navy's trouble was due to faul
ty engineering and bad planning.
Airplane-carrier designers had
failed to take into consideration
the possibility that decks were
vulnerable and that once the
deck of a carrier was torn up, no
plane could take off.
The Japs, however, soon dis
covered this. The result was that
suicide Jap fighter planes dived
for the deck of carrier after car

loss of life, so many carriers
