Free Press And Free Speech Something Beyond Ken of Russian Ruling Class The trouble between the Uni-i ted States and Russia appears to be a matter of misunderstanding of each other's aims and the me thod of obtaining them. It is difficult for the Dictatorial group that comprises the Kremlin to understand the workings of a free press and free speech and it is difficult for Americans to understand the workings of minds that can't accept these privileges.

It is good reading and is passed on to our subscribers with the hope that it will aid in giving a better understanding of the issues that are blocking the way to peace in this troubled old world. The article follows: There are those who believe that the diplomatic and ideolog ical conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union be gan even before the shooting war with Germany ended. Whether or not this is true, the pledges of eternal friendship and coop eration between the victorious Allies turned hollow with unpre cedented suddenness. For a long time, differences were discussed in the old, polite phrases of clas sic diplomacy. Now, however, all the sweetness and light have gone out of the controversy. In the last half-dozen weeks, the mailed fist has appeared, and the velvet glove has been thrown away. An easy and accurate baromet er of high Soviet policy is found in the Soviet press. Russia is served by a small number of newspapers of large circulation and all of them, of course, re fleet the views of the Kremlin the way the mirror reflects the sun a point which was devel oped in detail by Eleanor Roose velt at a recent U.N. meeting The Soviet papers have been at tacking the United States, its government and its officials.

And the Ad ministration does not hold a mo nopoly when it comes to Soviet attacks. John Foster Dulles, the Republican epert on foreign af fairs, has alo been given the full treatment. So, to varying de grees, have other Republicans, including Governor Dewey and Senators Taft and Vandenberg. These attacks bear an alarm ing resemblance to those made on Germany shortly before Rus sia and the Third Reich went to war. Yet commentators still feel that Russia does not want a war at this time or in the near fu ture. Many think that the press comment has the principal pur pose of building loyalty and mor ale at home of making the over worked, under-fed Russian "com mon man" feel that his country is in danger and to thus con vince him that any sacrifice is worth while as a defensive mea sure. There can be little doubt that the Kremlin will achieve this goal. It completely domin ates every means of communi cation of ideas, and runs one of the most efficient propaganda machines on earth. In the meantime, the lines be tween Russia and the West are being clearly drawn. Some years ago, it will be remembered, Stal in officially dissolved the old Communist International, whose avowed goal was to bring about worldwide socialism by any and all means. This gesture was at tended by a great deal of fan fare, and was accepted in some circles as proof that Russia had decided that other countries could have the kind of govern ment they wanted as she would have hers. Now the Communist International seems to have come back, though it wears a different name. So far as anyone can see, the new nine-nation Communist information bureau, which was recently established in Belgrade, is just a slightly camouflaged version of its predecessor. In a speech before the Boston cham ber of Commerce, Attorney Gen eral Clark charged that the bu reau's goal is the destruction of world democracy. Most others who have commented on it hold similar views. The Marshall plan for the re habilitation of Europe has done a great deal to make the issues and the extent of the cleavage between the United States and the Soviet Union clear. Appar ently, there isn't a single, soli tary provision in this plan that Russia will accept. She opposes it both in principle and in the most unimportant details. And that, too, has its logic. If the Western powers, led by the U. S., were successful in saving Europe from starvation this winter and managed to make a good start toward putting European indus try on a productive basis, the result might be a iatal blow to Soviet prestige and ambition. It is an historical fact that Com munism has flowered most lux- Once upon a lifetime color . . . crimson riding in a golden coach " ' ' I BEVLON uriantly In countries where want, priv ation and despair were widespread. The amount of cal ories a people get to eat seems to determine, in inverse ratio, their susceptibility to dictator ship of the Soviet variety. Whether or not the Soviet Un ion will be able to make the Marshall plan or any other plan decided upon by the Western powers ineffective, remains to be seen. It is possible that it will be. The extent of her diplo matic and ideological achieve ments in the past year do not seem to be fully recognized by the bulk of the people in this country. The frontiers of Soviet influence have pushed inexor ably forward. And that, from the Russian point of view, is just as good as if her actual geograph ical frontiers similarly advanc ed. There is little real differ ence between a Soviet satellite, such as Hungary, and a Soviet province, such as the Ukraine. The Russian "advisers" in "in dependent" capitals pull the strings and the local puppets dance. Soviet ace-in-the-hole is the Russian army, which is re ported to be still at wartime strength. It has often been pointed out that, should war come, there is nothing to prevent Russia from over-running Europe in a matter of days. The other occupation forces in Europe consist largely of military police and service and administrative troops, and combat divisions are conspicu ous by their absence. But, to re peat, the hope remains that Rus sian policy is to stop short of war to get everything possible without resorting to force of arms. That may be proven, one way or another, before too long. ! bound for Melbourne during the war. "Aren't you supposed to be back in camp?" one finally whV blurted out can qualify for enlistment in the ARMED GROUND FORCES OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES TO PREP SCHOOL GRADS High school graduates Army Ground Forces will find at tractive oportunities for career service in the infantry, artillery, or armored cavalry through a combination of leadership train ing and the army's new presel ected school plan, Captain Geo. R. Smith, commanding Pendle ton Army and Aire Force Recruit ing station, said here today. . Captain Smith explained that all army ground forces recruits who show potential leadership ability and average or superior intelligence are given an oppor tunity to qualify for a six-week potential leaders' course, which prepares them for responsibilities of noncommissioned officers and for officer candidate training. Although soldiers are enrolled for this leadership training pro gram only after having demon strated their potentialities dur ing a period of basic military training, Captain Smith said the preselected school plan makes it possible for qualified men to choose their own army specialist training course even before they enlist.
