MAIL TRIBUNE
A "Minority Report"
Surveying the past Thanksgiving week, we again
feel compelled to issue a "minority report."
We can't agree with the majority a majority of
the top ranking news commentators at least, that
the United States has suffered a severe defeat in
Egypt and the Near-East and the Russians a great
victory.
Of course' all the returns are not yet in. In this
critical time the international picture may change
over nights !
But a9 of today we would say the great victory of
Thanksgiving week was won by the United Nations,
and the great defeat of the week was suffered by
Soviet Russia.
This is taking the long view of course. But after
all it is the long view that really counts.
And in the long view a world power any world
power, that can't keep its satellites loyal except by
applying the "iron fist" and shooting down defense
less women and children, is doomed. It just can't be
done, and history, particularly modern history, proves
it.
Not today or tomorrow, of course, but eventually
this attempt of the Russian dictatorship to do what
the Kaiser and Hitler tried to do is going to fail, and
the appeal to brute force and abject fear, by the
Kremlin in Hungary, in our judgment, proves it.
As stated it can't be done. Just as the day of
human slavery has passed, sd the day of world con
quest by force against the will of the conquered, has
passed.
DRESIDENT Eisenhower touched on this same
theme in his last news conference. He said he
was not the table thumping type, the tough martinet
who sticks out his chin and tells his listeners what
they have to do or else.
He preferred to persuade them.- Persuade them
he is right, and thus get their spontaneous volun
tary and continuing support, for support obtained
through fear and force, will only last as long as the
fear lasts, and that is, relatively speaking, brief.
Quite true.
A ND so with Russia.
So long as the Kremlin could persuade the
people of Hungary and the world that to adopt Com
munism and submit to the dictatorship of Moscow
was something they wanted to, do and was in their
own self-interest, Russia represented a grave danger
to this country, and all free nations. But when ex
actly the contrary reaction is aroused as in Hun
gary (and we suspect is present but quiescent in
Poland, East Germany, and practically all the So
viet satellites) with only superior force left to put
down the passion for freedom, then the bear that
walks like a man" better stop showing his teeth and
growling, he better, in fact, take a long look at his
hole-card, and make sure no one is going to cut off
his retreat, to safety and security within his own
natural and national boundaries.
AT LEAST that is the way we interpret one of the
most tragic and shocking events of Thanksgiving
week.
We consider the inhuman atrocities perpetrated
in Hungary by Russia will eventually do more to
bring about the downfall of the Russian dictator
ship and give assurance of security for this country
and the free world than anything that has happened
since the close of World War II.
The hatred thus aroused toward Russia, not
only within the boundaries of the decimated nation,
but outside of- them in the entire world will en
dure long after the folly of the' British-French at
tack on Egypt, for example, has been forgotten.
R.W.R.
The UN
The United Nations had every reason to heartily
enjoy its turkey last Thursday, on our national day
of "Thanksgiving."
As remarked, the world picture may change it
is still in a state of rapid flux but sufficient unto
the day are the glad tidings thereof, and there were
many for the U.N. on the 22nd of November.
But for the U.S. action through the U.N. a hot
war would undoubtedly have occured and while it
might have resulted in a British-French-Israel victory
within another week or ten days, World War III
would certainly have been
and world disaster (to mix metaphors somewhat)
might have been in the fire by now.
As a result of the U.N. there is no war no hot
war at least and the cold war has dropped close to
zero, as of this writing. . -1 s . --"'..
THERE are many important things still to be ac
A complished.
No. 1: the independence and integrity of Israel,
which both the U.N. and the USA have pledged must
be finally and firmly established. Israel was 'really
created by the U.N. and it -certainly could m no way
justify deserting its offspring at this crisis in its exist
ence. Egypt and the Arab world must also be guaran
teed safety from the air too many Israelite forays
allegedly in retaliation.
Somehow someway the Suez canal must be
internationalized, and all nations, including "Israel,
must be given free and uninterrupted passage, as was
pledged by treaty over half a century ago.
AS USUAL, it is easy to say what SHOULD be
done, but not so easy to say HOW to do it.
But with the entire world agreed as to the suicidal
folly of leaving such a settlement to atomic force and

gun already, and in a most in

country of Transjordan.
After dismissing Glubb Pasha
from command of his Arab Leg
ion, young King Hussein of
Transjordan adopted the policy
of maintaining an uneasy bal
ance between Egypt and Britain.
This Jordanian balance was not
immediately upset, when Egypt
was attacked.
Although previously pledged
to come to Egypt's aid, Trans
jordan made no move while
Nasser's Sinai army was being
humiliatingly defeated by the
Israelis, while the British and
French were landing in Egypt,
while Nasser, in fact, was be

American diplomacy and Soviet
threats combined to transform
Nasser's great military defeat in
to a great political victory.
The effect in Transjordan was
instantaneous and electrical. The
pro-Egyptians in the Parliament
have now rammed through a
resolution calling on the govern
ment to denounce the treaty with
Britain, which has protected
their country since Transjordan
became a sovereign state. The
resolution has not yet been put
into effect by Suleiman Nabolsi,
the Jordanian premier. But it
is only a matter of time before
Transjordan breaks his historic
link with Britain, and in effect
become an Egyptian dependency.

Comic Strip is Praised
To the Editor: This may be
somewhat unusual coming from
an airman, but have you ever
wondered whether or not any
thing good has come out of a
comic strip besides giving enter
tainment to the readers?
Something good could come
out of the Steve Canyon "comic
strip" if the people realize that
it is actually pointing a finger
of guilt at them. Milton Caniff
has seen the problem that faces
ALL servicemen and he is try
ing to enlighten the people that
have narrow minds. I will agree
that the story as I read it m
your Sunday edition may seem a
little exaggerated, but actually
the problem in basic concepts
is quite the same. A couple of
first hand examples to back up
my statement are:
1. One evening a gang of
young men beat up an airman
for no reason at all except just
that he was an airman. By the
time the Air Police arrived at
the scene he was in pretty bad
shape and needed emergency
medical attention. (This type of
thine happens all the time.)
2. The only thing that the
merchants of Biloxi, Mississippi
(where Keesler Air Force Base
is located) can seem to say after
an airman has had to wait for
service and finally got to make
a purchase is, "Be sure and
come back pay day." Then when
you do come back again you get
just as bad service as when you
were there the first time, and
very seldom do you ever get
any of that "Southern hospitali
ty" you always hear so much
about.
What I am trying to point out
is that maybe the Steve Canyon
"comic strip" will open the eyes
of some of the people and make
them realize how shabbily and
disgracefully they are treating
the men who are protecting the
rights that keep this country
free.

be expected all over the Middle
East. Syria is in the Egyptian
bag already. In Iraq, the days
of pro-Western Nuri Pasha are
almost certainly numbered. Af
ter Transjordan goes into the
bag, Iraq will eventually fol
low. Then the heat will be put
on in the vital oil sheikdoms of
the Persian Gulf, Kuweit, Ba
hrein and Hatar, and last but
not least in line, the Egyptian
heat will be felt by Saudi
Arabia. 1
These political developments
have been foreseen by the Amer
ican policy-makers, who say
rather smugly that "the British
and French are through in the
Middle East. But the Amer
ican policy-makers have no co
herent answer whatever, to any
of the! really horrifying questions
that will surely be raised by the
British and French being
'through in the Middle East."
President Eisenhower himself
has described this region as the
most strategically vital on the
face of -the earth. This is true
for many reasons. But lake only
one of these reasons the ef
fect on the second power of the
Western alliance, Britain, of the
prospective loss of control of
her Middle Eastern oil supplies.
a
ASA sort of hole card, the
" British now mean to hold the
vast oil riches of Kuweit and
the other Gulf Coast Sheikdoms
by naked military force if need
be. But are we prepared to
support the British in this new
aggression", which will raise
a worse storm than the attacK
on Suez? Or shall we press our
British partners to look pleas
ant while their throats are cut?
Then too, if all Britain's Mid
dle Eastern oil sources are lost,
it will cost Britain just about
SI billion a year. The shaky
British balance of payments can
not conceivably stand this furth
er drain. If the oil goes, Britain
will go bankrupt. After declar
ing bankruptcy, Britain wiU
have to abandon her NATO and
other strategic commitments,
and will go out of business as a
serious world power. But how is
American policy going to be ad
justed to cover the loss of West
ern strength caused by British
bankruptcy?
TN THESE
American
circumstances, the
policy-makers are
now content to talk vaguely
about "the U.S. moving into the
Middle East to fill the vacuum
left by your less fortunate al
lies. But do our policy-makers
really think, for instance, that
the U.S. can take over Britain s
Middle Eastern oil resources,
pension of the British people,
and still keep Britain as a loyal
ally?
Surely the country deserves
more realistic answers - to the
whole grim array of questions
of which these are a small
sample.

100 Candidates Fail
To File Expenses
Washington U.R) About
100 candidates who ran for the
House Nov. 6, including many
who won, have failed to file re
quired reports on campaign
spending, the office of House
Clerk Ralph R. Roberts said Sat
urday. In a letter to the delinquents
Roberts' office enclosed the nec
essary forms and extracts from
pertinent laws. The laws sub
ject violators to fines of $1,000
and terms of one year in jail.
Greater penalties' are provided
when the offense is wilful.
However, as a matter of prac
tice the offense is always con
sidered a technical one and no
House candidate, as far as the
clerk's office knows, ever has
been prosecuted for it. This
year's crop of missing reports is
not unusually large.
Labor Parly Calls

But Eden, before flying off

overwork, spiked resignation ru
mors. "I am assured that on my re
turn I shall feel completely fit,
ready to resume my duties at
once and fully," he said at the
airport Friday night.
The Socialists have been de
manding Eden's resignation ever
since the Suez, Canal crisis
erupted last summer.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
I suppose that on that memor
able first Thanksgiving morning
back in 1621 the Plymouth colo
nists were chiefly thankful that
in the hours of the night before
the savages hadn't come out of
the dark forests and slain them
aU.
So let's give thanks this
Thanksgiving day of 1956 335
years later that the communist
savages haven't turned loose
overnight and killed US all.
(We're doing the usual job,
though, of killing ourselves. The
teletype reports at dawn that
eight persons have already been
killed in traffic smashups over
the country.)
'T'HAT, however, is freedom.
- Killing ourselves by our
own reckless driving is better
than being stood up against
wall and shot by a tyrannical
master because we won't con
form to the rules He lays down
for us.
So let's give thanks for our
freedom.
QOMETHING to remember:
Before they .sat down to
their Thanksgiving feast, the
Plymouth colonists on that au
tumn day in 1621 marched up
Burial Hill (their feast was on
Cole's Hill) and held a grave and
serious memorial -service for
those who had died during the
first hard, grim winter.
It would do US no harm to
give a little more serious though
to our forbears who suffered
hardships and death to build for
us this wonderful country we
live in.
TT'WAS quite a feast they sat
down to when they got back
from Burial Hill. It included
turkey, quail, partridge, wood
chuck, duck, calms, oysters,
baked fish, lobsters, deer, wild
fowl, corn bread, Indian pud
ding, turnips, potatoes, beets,
carorts, wild honey and maple
syrup.
There was no complaining
about the prices the supermar
ket charged them, because there
wer no supermarkets then. AU
they had to do was go out and
get it and bring it home and pre
pare it. They didn't even have
to worry about parking places
when they went out to get it.
Pretty soft! But I expect we
moderns would rather pay the
price at the supermarket than to
go out and get it as the Plymouth
colonists did. It's easier.
T RECKON we aU have a vague
idea that Thanksgiving Day
has been a national affair ever
since we have been a nation. Not
so. It took a long time to make
it a national holiday; ' .
And . '.
As usual
A WOMAN had a lot to do
with it.
SHE WAS quite a woman. Her
name was Sarah Josepha
Hale, and she was left a widow
at 34, with five children to fend
for. She did a successful job of
fending. In 1830, she became
the editor of Godey's Lady's
Book, the first woman's maga
zine in America. To get an idea
of the difficulty of her job, you
should take a look at some of
the women's fashions as pictured
in Godey's Lady's Book. Imagine
running a magazine all dressed
up in clothes like that!
One of her first crusades was
for a national Thanksgiving day,
and she worked at it for more
than 30 years. It wasn't until
1863 that victory came. In that
year, President Lincoln issued a
proclamation setting aside the
last Thursday of November "as
a day of thanksgiving and praise
to our beneficent Father."
IMAGINE being thankful in
1863 for it was then that
our grim and awful Civil War
was reaching its grimmest and
most awful days.
But if you will look back over
the pages of history I think you
must come to the conclusion that
it is in their hours of sorest trial
and gravest danger that people
and nations APPRECIATE
MOST their blessings. It is in
our periods of prosperity and
plenty that we are most inclined
to carp and complain because
we haven't GOT MORE.

I
fluence on world opinion, and
that world opinion has a great
influence on the actions ol gov
ernments. The other school,
while not denying that this is
true, is a believer in verbal aus
terity. It holds that the declara
tions lost their value, like print
ing press money, if they are
made too often and too easily
and with too much resounding
rhetoric. This school adheres to
the Theodore Roosevelt maxim
that it is best to speak softly
and to carry a big stick.
POMMENTATORS are likely
to be impressed also these
days with the stubborn and
varied difficulty of things, and
to feel a bit shy about calling
upon the government to step for
ward with new bold imaginative
policies. I say this as one who
has lone felt that what the Eisen
hower administration has been
calling peace was an excessive
ly complacent reliance upon
truces which avoided fighting
but settled nothing.
In the Middle Eeast we are
living now amidst the ruins of
that policy. But it is not only
the American policy .that is in
ruins. So too is the British poli
cy. So too, also, is he United
Nations policy a3 it existed up
to the time the fighting broke
out. And so too, I believe
Nasser's policy as he conceived
it and planned it before the Bri
tish, the French and the Israelis
struck.
What we have in the Middle
East is not the failure of. the
policy of one government but a
general failure in which all the
great powers individually and
the United Nations collectively
have great responsibility. As a
consequence of the general and
all around failure the mold of
things is broken and the pieces
can never again be put together
as they were before.
PROVIDED we see things
clearly and not with self
righteous eyes, we shall not be
surprised, indeed we may be
glad, that a new and compre
hensive policy has not as yet
been improvised and declared to
the world. Though Washington
made a bad start with its first
actions in the U.N., it has since
then recovered its poise, and it
has made, I think, three sound
decisions. It has warned the So
viets effectively against military
intervention. It is giving full
support to the U.N.'s police
force. And it has announced its
readiness to cooperate in dealing
with the coming oil shortage,
treating Western Europe as one
economic community.
This is a long way from any
thing like a Middle Eastern
settlement. But that settlement
is far off and will be reached
over a long and rough road. It
is something ' that after the
debacle of policy we have gotten
our feet on the right road.
