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.

Kinzua people. Mrs. Ray is a

litical battle claiming the atten

mats of both contries is contain
ed in an editorial release from
the Industrial News Review. 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

tive applied to him has been
"tyrant." Secretary Marshall is
customarily referred to as a "fas
cist imperialist." 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-

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.

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.

he added as an after-thought.
"Beg pardon," said the Austra

means 'confined to barracks'."
"You can tell that the father
of a giaod-sized family designed
that job," purred the senior sur
geon of a native hospital as he
viewed the Co baby cribs just
delivered by the Seabees station
ed on that Pacific island during
the war.
