Self Government For Little Nations Seen Food For Communists By Harold Guard United Press Correspondent London, Mar. 16 (U.R) Lord Mancroft, chairman of the Con servative Party Speakers as sociation, said today that vast areas of the world are being handed over to communism by the policy of giving them self government. He expressed fear that many of the countries that have broken away from Britain. France and The Netherlands since the war were "sitting ducks" for com munism without the protection of their former colonial masters. Known as the "tory firebrand of the house of lords," the 36-year-old peer has been mention ed several times as a certainty for a colonial or commonwealth ministerial office in the event of Winston Churchill's conserva tive party coming to power. Criticises Labor He pulled no punches in an interview in his criticism of the labor government's policy of ac cording self determination to countries which lack the politi cal maturity and cohesion to stand on their own feet. Can it truly and logically be said that by allowing such coun tries to cut loose from imperial rule the government has contri buted to world peace and stabi lity? Mancroft asked. Mancroft said it should be ob vious to the world that the policy of according self government to unstable countries defeated its avowed purpose of world stabi lity. "The door to India, for ex ample, is swinging today on the latch, waiting for somebody to kick it open," he said. "That kick is clearly coming from communist China whose regime we have so prematurely recog nized." He drew attention to the com munal strife still raging in India. "We were always told that there would be no peace in India until the British left," he said. "We are always told this every where. But it is curious that it is only in places like Ceylon and Hong Kong which still remain in the empire that peace and prosperity seem to prevail in the East." Mancroft said the communist thrust on India might come through Burma or through Tibet. "Burma has lapsed into an archy since the British gave her self government and its there fore fertile soil for communism," he said. He castigated the British gov ernment for failure to win the confidence of the Chinese popu lation in Malaya. "I am told there is complete confidence in the high commis sioner in Malaya, but there is not the same confidence in the colonial office," he said. Mancroft emphasized that all the Chinese in Malaya are not potential rebels and cited in stances of their protestations against communist Inspired re bellions. Protestations Not Enough "But in times of crisis protes tations are not enough," he said. "The Chinese reaction has un fortunately been too often one of complacency and neutrality. But most certainly if the British left Malaya the Chinese com munists would be in full charge in a matter of months." Mancroft expressed similar doubts regarding Indonesia and Indo-China. "It will be interesting to see whether Indonesia has the poli tical maturity and cohesion to stand on her own feet or whether she will become a sitting target for communism and sink into anarchy and misery like those countries which have achieved political independence before they are strong enough to exer cise it," he said. Regarding Indo-China he said that if Vietnam is now to escape from communist rule it will be because the French army con tinues to fight there. Lead To Identity Lost Mancroft said he agreed with Field Marshal Jan C. Smuts' thesis that self government and self determination in the new world order lead eventually to their recipients losing their identity. Like Smuts he drew attention to a list of east European and Baltic countries whose names are long forgotten since they were taken into the communist orbit. "Imperial governments giving self government to immature countries are simply handing over cast tracts of the world to communism," he said. In the Day's News Bv FRANK JENKINS More news on the Russian election: PRIME MINSTER STALIN WAS UNANIMOUSLY RE ELECTED (to what we call con gress) IN HIS DISTRICT IN THE CITY OF MOSCOW. One's first thought Is that Un cle Joe must be immensely pleased by this tribute to . his personal popularity. HERE'S the second thought: Uncle Joe was the ONLY CANDIDATE. So, you see, the vote for him had to be unanimous. BUT, ' you say, still mulling over the case of Uncle Joe and the fine vote of confidence he got in his district, the mere fact that he was the only candi date must indicate that his peo ple love him so much that no body wanted to run against him, doesn't it? fea- We-e-e-1-1-1-1. It could be. But there are other tures. Here is one of them: In Russia you don't just take a notion to run for office and give a story to the newspaper and when the time comes pungle up your filing fee and get your name on the ballot. It's more complicated than that. FIRST, you must join the com munist party. That, too, in comparison with our system, is a bit complicated. In Russia (and other commun ist countries) you don't just an nounce you're going to be a com munist. My, my, NO! That WOULD get you into hot water. It would be exactly like a brash freshman from out in the sticks announcing about the third day "he was on the campus that he had decided to be a Sigma Delta Chi. If you know anything at all about colleges, you know what the Sigs would do to that poor guy. Well, the communists would give the same treatment to anybody who came right out in public and said he'd decided to be a communist and when can he run for his first office and begin to get in on the gravy. His name would be Mud and I MEAN MUD. You don't just join the communist party. You are taken into it AFTER YOU HAVE PROVED YOUR WORTHINESS. ALSO, you don't just run for office THE COMMUNIST PARTY RUNS YOU FOR OFFICE. That's how it came that in Sunday's Russian "parliament ary" election there was exactly ONE candidate for each office to be filled. The communists, like our brain trusters in Washing ton used to do, "planned It that way." That's how come Uncle Joe and some 1200-odd other candi dates for the Russian "parlia ment" were the ONLY candi dates in their districts for the jobs they aspired to.

THAT'S why I'm going to stay a republican even though 1 1 feel in my bones that the leader-1 ship of the republican party is getting fat-headeder and fat-! headeder ns the days pass and I'm revolted by the spectacle of republican congressmen and sen ators who veil ECONOMY out of one side of their mouths and out of the other side vote for every boondoggling appropriation that concerns their districts. As long as that continues, the ! republican party is about as likely to get bock into power as a cow to kiss a pig, but IF THE ; TIME EVER COMES WHEN ! THERE IS ONLY ONE PARTY IN THIS COUNTRY it will run our affairs exactly like the com munist party runs Russia's af fairs and at each election there will be only one candidate for ! each office and that will be the guy who has been selected by j the democratic party. So I'm going to stay a repub-; lican if for no other reason than to register my protest against putting too much power into too few hands. That is what INVAR IABLY happens in a one-partv state.
