Editorial Correspondence
Boston, Mass., Aug. 6 It never fails!
Just as we entered Boston over the B & A, the weather record
was broken all samee as wherever we have been since May. Only
it wasn't heat this time it was rain. Four inches in two days,
and the worst lightning storm in 50 years. This isn't official, but
it is the story of the taxi-man and Boston taxi-men just don't lie.
The rain for 48 hours is a new record for August since the Pil
grims landed at Plymouth Rock in what wag that date? Our
guess is 1620 tho' that may have been Virginia. (Don't bother,
junior, we will look it up later.)
e-
Whenever the subject :of favorite cities comes up we always
list ours as New York, San Francisco and New Orleans, in that
order. (Just a minute, General!
little cities and as places to visit,
put that in your C of C pipe and smoke it!)
e e .
Don't understand why we have never included Boston. Per
haps because we have been here so seldom since 1903. For it
should rank far iip in our list; in fact if and when Ralph Kooier's,
"communistic state" arrives and the undersigned is given his
choice between being liquidated,
Jackson County, we hope the local Commissar will be fairly de-
cent and send us to Boston. For
declining years if one can AFFORD it.
Not that it would require so
in Boston one should have a car that isn't over 50 years old, and a
chauffeur not over 99. For unless one has been born here, it is an
almost impossible task to get around and see what should be seen
and enjoyed. We . don't, refer to the streets, narrow as alleys,
and laid out not, by a surveyor, but a revolutionary cow (and a
cow that had just made a meal,
cairn's sour-mash); but to the
which are unique and as peculiar to Boston, as pie for breakfast,
and that old chesnut about the Lodges, Cabots and God.
' In other words if .your ancestors did NOT come over in the
"Mavflower" ours came over in the Good Shin "Sunshine and
landed at Philadelphia in 1716 if anyone is interested (We don't
believe anyone is, except perhaps, the District Attorney), and you
haven't lived on Beacon Street since the battle of Bunker Hill,
nor more recently in the vicinity
or the Dedham "Common"; it is next to impossible to live in this
"Hub'? of learning, culture and codfish, and enjoy yourself.
So we hope when the revolution DOES come and of course
that only requires four more years rule by the Democrats that
the subterranean ."mines" of Boston or Cambridge might be
selected, instead of the salt mines of Siberia or Keokuk, Iowa, for
the undersigned's final relaxing place.
.
Not only did our arrival mark a record-breaking thunder-and-rainstorm
for August, but it broke a 40-day drought which was so
serious that federal aid had been requested. Again, according to
our well-informed taxi driver (most taxi drivers are well informed
but the Boston variety leads them all) this rain is worth 40 mil
lion dollars to the farmers of this state judging the value of the
fsrms along the B & A right of way from Albany to Boston we
should place this figure, however, as somewhat inflated.
e
Well anyway, ladies and gentlemen it IS a great country!
And we don't mean merely Grants Pass, but the entire U.S.A.
from the Golden Gate to the Battery.
One has only to cover that: territory to feel a bit sorry for
Uncle Joe! Whatever delusions of grandeur he may have, he is
riding to a fall when he assumes, either that democracy is on the
skids, or that he will ever divorce the people the 150,000,000-odd
people from Boston harbor to the Golden Gate from their deep
and abiding faith in and loyalty TO it!
Yes, and willing, if need be, to fight and die for it.
But that willingness to fight and die has been worrying the
undersigned recently. While in R.ockford we had a talk with a
World War I veteran now retired from active service, who de
clared the higher-ups in Washington are seriously concerned with
the number of young men applying for non-combatant service.
This 'now applies even to the elite corps of fliers. In World War
I arid II, there were no such applications, or at least not nearly
as many, in fact more young men applied for air combat service
than could be accommodated. He fears young American manhood
is going soft. ,
We doubt it. '
But after two world wars, and a-, third threatened in a little
over one generation, it might be expected that a nation as con-!
genitally peaceful and non-military at the U.S.A. should become
a bit fed up with it and particularly those who have to do thej
fighting and dying. All experts, however, are agreed that when
our young men get into it, and the shooting starts, tney fight bet
ter,, more courageously and - with greater skill than any group in
our national history. That is the case in Korea today.
That widespread hatred of war and militarism is not going to
help General Eisenhower in the approaching campaign. The fact
is the General hates war more intensely and is more earnestly
eager to prevent another one, than various and sundry preachers
of .peace who have never had a

However, in 1932, in .1936, in

Matter of Fact
STALIN SPEAKS AGAIN
Washington : A report of a
hitherto unpublished interview
with Russian dictator Joseph
Stalin is receiving powerful and
puzzled attention in Washington
and other Western capitals. The
interview was granted by Stalin
to Pietro Nenni, the Italian So
cialist leader, who has just re
turned from a month's stay in
the Soviet Union.
Nenni, who went to Russia to
receive a Soviet "peace prize," is
universally regarded as a captive
of the Italian Communist party,
and thus of the Kremlin. On his
return to Rome, he made no pub
lic report of his conversation
with Stalin, confining himself
instead to the expected pro-Sovi
et propaganda. But immediately
after he talked to Stalin,- he
went to the Italian Embassy in
Moscow and described to Italian
Amabassador, Mario di Stefano,
the substance of what Stalin said.
Nenni's report is accepted as ac
curate as far as it goes.
Stalin started the conversation
by saying the expected things
about the Soviet "will to peace.
This formality over, he ques
tioned Nenni at-length, display
ing a surprising grasp of the
details of Italian politics, about
the Italian election next spring.
Stalin then began to talk about
Germany, and it is this- portion
of the interview which is con
sidered particularly interesting.
e e
STALIN noted that the Bonn
agreement had been approved
by the United States Senate. He
predicted as "very probable" the
election as President of General
Eisenhower. He remarked that,
for these reasons, he considered
any further diplomatic ex
changes on the subject of Ger
many with the Western bloc was
no more than a "propagandistic
and marginal expedient" in
other words without real mean
ing. And. he said, he had further
considered that it had become
impossible to prevent the di
vision of Germany into two parts
on a permanent basis.
Therefore, Stalin told Nenni,
it was necessary to substitute an
other formula for the "formula
of a united and neutral Ger
many." This new formula called
for the creation of two entirely
separate ' Germanies, which
would be, he said, "military and
ideological counter-weights to
each other. In this situation, the
"independence and security" of
Eastern Germany must be "re
inforced.
'. Stalin then reverted to the
theme of the Soviet Union's "will
to peace," and on .this note the in
terview ended, without reference
to Korea or other problems. Nen
ni reported that Stalin seemed in
excellent health and spirits, and
"calm and confident" throughout
the interview. Stalin's attitude,
Nenni implied, .was that of a
man who certainly has no inten
tion of making war, but who is
in no hurry either to make un
necessary concessions to the
Western bloc.
-
HAVING thus described the in
terview, Nenni then asked
Ambassador di Stefano certain
significant - questions about di
Stefano's American opposite
member, Ambassador to Russia
George Kennan. How, he asked,
was Kennan regarded in West
ern diplomatic circles? Was Ken
nan sincere? Did he speak for
his government when he re
ferred, in conversations with So
viet officials, to the possibility
of easing tension and eventually
negotiating a peaceful settlement
of the differences between East
and West? Di Stefano replied
firmly that Kennan was wholly
sincere,, and that the Soviets
were making a most serious mis
take in isolating him and para
lyzing his efforts. ,
So ends the Nenni story. As to
what, if anything, it means, one
man's, guess is about as good as
another's. And certain points do
stand .out. Nenni almost certain
ly reported the Stalin interview
to his ambassador . with the full
knowledge and consent of the
Kremlin. Equally certainly he
also asked the questions about
Kennan with the Kremlin's en
couragement. ..
Thus it is obviously dangerous
to interpret the episode on its 1

face value. Yet it is at least true
tl.-t Stalin's statements on Ger
many seem to support the views
of the more optimistic of two
schools of thought which have
long existed in the American
government. One group of spe
cialists has held that the Soviets
would ultimately be willing to
go to war if necessary to prevent
the rearmament of West Ger
many in alliance with the West.
Another group has held that the
Soviets in this situation would
react simply by heavily rearm
ing East Germany and isolating
the Eastern zone absolutely from
contact with the West and this,
in effect, is what Stalin said to
Nenni. Nenni's questions about
mbassador Kennan are also
considered of possible interest
It is at least conceivable that
th- might mean that the men in
the Kremlin are considering
sdme- sort of approach to the
American government through
Kennan. Thus the Nenni inter
view with Stalin seems to hole
out two rather small and quite
possibly deceptive crumbs of
comfort. But when this is said
it must also be said that Stalin
has every' reason, for appearing
"calm and confident," in view of
what threatens in Asia, the Mid
dle East, and within the Western
alliance itself.

First Steps Toward
Pacific Defense Pact
Features Week's News
By PHIL NEWSOM
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's balance sheet be
tween the good and bad news in
the hot and cold wars:
THE GOOD
1. The United States Austral
ian and New Zealand foreign
ministers met in Honolulu to
take the first steps toward
implementing their mutual de
fense pacts signed in San Fran
cisco last tall, along with the
Japanese peace treaty. The
United States has similar pacts
with the Philippines and Japan.
This week's Anzus meeting was
the first in a series of steps
which eventually should lead to
an over-all Pacific defense force
similar to the North Atlantic
Pa,ct which already is in opera
tion.
Rhea's Election Noted
2. South ' Korea's aged Presi
dent Syngman Rhee won the
country's first general election
by better than five-to-one over
his nearest rival. The election
bore out predictions that Rhee,
while unpopular with the South
Korean assembly, still is No. 1
man with the South Korean peo
ple. Best part for the United Na
tions fighting in Korea was that
the election should calm, for a
while at least, the troubled
South Korean political situation
which was providing daily fare
for Red propagandists.
3. Egypt apparently was
weathering calmly the forced
abdication of its King Farouk,
and there even were hopes that
Egypt and Britain now could
peacefully negotiate their long
standing dispute over the future
of Sudan and the Suez Canal. In
an exclusive interview with
United Press, strong-man Maj
Gen. Mohammed Naguib ap
pealed for U.S. arms a condi
tion which he knows must be
preceded by agreement with
Britain.
THE BAD
1. Long-standing ill-will be
tween Greece and Bulgaria flar
ed into the open when the
Greeks fired on Bulgarians who
had seized tiny Gamma Island in
the Evros River. For 10 miles
the Evros forms the boundary
between Greece and Bulgaria,
and the island for years had
been considered Greek. Both on
the-spot U.N. observers and the
Southern European Atlantic
Pact Headquarters of U.S. Adm.
Robert B. Carney were watch
ing the situation closely.
New French Crisis
2. Although there was no im
mediate danger to the govern
ment of Premier Antoine Pinay,
a new crisis was brewing in
France. The French were bitter
because the United States
agreed only to place $187,000,-
000 in "offshore" purchases with
French defense firms during the
coming year instead of agreeing
to a $623,000,000 program such
as the French had asked, cover-
life in every American.

Bill Veeck. Extremely active
baseball magnate. The firebrand
of the American League. His
team, the St. Louis Browns, is in
seventh place but the box office

In addition to a ball game, Veeck
features fireworks, bands and
circus ' acts. Also often gives
every lady present an orchid. He
