a foreign policy statement that

How To Get Yourself Disliked
(Editor's note: During the 30 years
Jimmy Hatlo has been drawing
"They'll Do It Every Time," he has
been deluged by readers with ex
amples of man's inhumanity to man,
which makes him, whether he likes
it or not. an authority on the subject.
With a tip of the Hatlo hat to his
contributors, the artist and author
has drawn on this rich background
for this series of six articles, spot
lighting the pests who annoy the
most people from coast to coast.)
ed paragraphs back there next
to the patent medicine ads, if
any. You may be sure, however,
that the text is in the Kremlin
by now and is winning annoyed
frowns among the foreign com
missariat. '
The policy statement was
made last Saturday in Berlin
by Herbert Hoover Jr., under
secretary of state. The occasion
was the 10th anniversary of
Berlin's American radio station,
RIAS, which ceaselessly directs
a blasting stream of freedom
facts through the Iron Curtain.
Rias' listeners are the captive
peoples of Europe especial
ly the East Germans whose
captivity is approaching a sor
rowful 10th anniversary this
year.
Hoover's assignment was to
hit the Soviet leaders where it
Is known to hurt. The sore spot
was abundantly located last
Christmas after President Eisen
hower sent a message to the
people of eastern Europe, de
ploring and rejecting in the
name of freedom their captiv
ity. The Kremlin's response was
instant and angry.
Twice Since Christmas
Mr. Eisenhower has repeated
that effective maneuver twice
since Christmas. Hoover was
sent to repeat and underscore'
U.S. ideas on the subject iri a
half-free city which is about
as near the Kremlin as a free
man dare speak his mind. You
might say he was rubbing Rus
sian noses in the rug, like a pup
py's guilty of a hearthside mis
demeanor. ': , ; -
It is a fact as well known in
Washington as in Moscow that
the freedom surge without which
the captives may never be lib
erated must have solid founda
tions and great impulse within
the captive states. The United
States, the free nations "and the
hopeful captives have put their
trust in the moral integrity of
the world, to undo what the West
holds to be a great wrong. Mor
al force and propaganda are the
prescription.
"It is a force," said Hoover,
"which my country, in combin
ation with other free nations,
is dedicated to strengthening. -
u is a torce tnat sprmgs
from the unlimited resources of
freedom and common purpose.
Free world strength . . . is fun
damentally the collective power
of spiritual, moral and intellect
ual values based on political lib
erty and the recognition of the
individual rights of free men.
Hope of Mankind
"Moral force is the unbreak
able bond between captive peo
ples and the peoples of the free
world. It is beyond the reach
of imperialism and tyranny. It
. cannot be contained by barbed
wire or border guards. Deep
within it lies the hope of all
mankind for peace, justice and
freedom."
But Hoover did not rule out
physical force. He reminded
that there is vast difference be-
By JIMMY HATLO .
It has been said that every
national culture produces its
own type of pests. This I don't
believe. Some , types are goons
in any language. So it is with
our type for today: the Cheap
skate. ,
I'm convinced that there ' is
no walk in life, any place in the
world, where the cheapskate
doesn t abound. ,
For instance, do you happen
to own a deep freeze? You do?
Now let me make a guess about
something. I'll guess that during
two, periods of the year you have
a hard time finding room m
that freezer to put the stuff you
buy. Right? No, don't tell me,
I'll tell you; those two periods
are the spring and the fall. And
the reason there's no room for
your stuff is that some of your
free-loading friends have it stuff
ed with their fish during the
fishing season, and their game
during the hunting season. And
how much of this provender
ever turns up on your family
platter? Haw! I'm being silly
again. : '
Cheapies Plague Merchant
The poor guy with the corner
stationery store is plagued by
the cheapies who come in, buy
an El Nickelo cigar, ' and then
act as if they've bought library
privileges at the magazine racks.
A few visits from these leeches
who, for some reason, always
seem to have gummy fingers,
and the guy's magazine stock
looks as if it had been used for
bedding at a dog show. But you
should hear 'em on the rare oc
casions when ' they come in to
buy a ten-cent book. It's gotta
be spotless, or else!
You'd think a farmer, 'way
out there in the country, might
be safe from this type of creep.
But just ask one. You'll find
that they drive 40 miles out in
the country to get to him. Hap
pens like this:
Car door opens. Crustwell J.
Bashin steps out, followed by a
sheepish-looking hound. "Hi,
Zeke," the fellow says. "Just got
me a new dog. Would you mind
if I gave him a little workout
on your place?"
"Nope," says good-hearted and
unsuspecting Zeke. " "Go right
ahead.". .
Battle of Bunker Hill
A week later a cavalcade of
cars stops by Zeke's place. About
20 hunters pile out, and tear
into the field Zeke has just fin
ished sowing with winter wheat.
"It's okay, fellers," bawls Bash
in. "Good ol' Zeke said it was
okay last week." Next thing
Zeke knows, it sounds as if the
battle of Bunker Hill is being
fought all over again. Such cows
as are lucky enougn to escape
the slaughter are terrified into
complete milklessness. The poul
try flock decides that Chicken
Little was right about the sky
falling down, and takes off for
the tall timber, and the newly
planted wheat field looks as if
a herd of buffalo had used it for
the annual spring meeting. The
only thing Zeke can hope for is
that Bashin will be one of the
casualties.
Then there's the "borrowing"
chiseler. He is indegenous to of
fices as well as homes. In a way
you are lucky if .he decides to
"forget" .to return whatever it
was he took. That, at least, keeps
him from coming back. But most
of the "borrowers" keep things
just long - enough for them to
wear but. Then they . return
them, complaining about the
cheap merchandise you buy.
These are the people who bor
row everything from your
punchbowl to your silver and
then don't ask you to the party.
They are always "just out of
change" at the hat check stand
and over a year's time probably
just-out-of-change you out of $10
or $15.
They're all the same. They're
something-for-nothing guys, al
ways ready to shoot an angle.
Greedy, small- souled cheap
skates. How can they like them
selves? Nobody else does.
Next: The Loudmouth.

tween. mere avoidance of war
and real peace.
And to put Kremlin policy in
focus, Hoover invited his cap
tive listeners to reflect on this:
The Soviet Union is able to
offer economic aid and techni
cal assistance to the outside
world only because ' of the re
lentless milking and pumping
dry of captive countries' re
sources. "The facts of this hypocrisy,"
he said, "must be etched clearly
