Nikita The
A foolish consistency
minds, adored by little
and divines.-Emerson on
Within the logic of the aphorism, Soviet Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev would have to be
rated a statesman with a large mind, for certainly
he has little temper for the uses of consistency.
The man who reportedly told Averell Harri
man in June : . "Gromyko only says what we tell
tell him to ... If he doesn't, we'll fire him and
get someone who does" turns around and in July
tells reporters in Poland in reference to the
foreign ministers conference in Geneva "I think
nothing. Why must I think? Ask a horse because
a horse has a big head for thinking. We have our
minister of foreign affairs. Let him think."
o
N THE basis of his
Soviet chief of state
sciously aiming at bringing up to date and per
sonifying Winston Churchill's 1939 estimate of
the nation whose destiny he guides "Russia is
a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."
On July 17, for example, he is quoted: "We
should abolish the occupation regime in (West)
Berlin and we will press for this." This would
appear to be in line with his position as outlined
to Harriman: "These days of the occupation are
gone forever." But at the same time he was
assuring Harriman: "We are prepared to give
you every reasonable guarantee that the people
of West Berlin can retain whatever structure they
desire. We are prepared to have these guarantees
supervised either by one or more neutral coun
tries or by the United Nations."
Harriman, even though he is supposed to have
toned down Khrushchev's "blunt and brutal" lan
guage for publication, notes that he remained
unconvinced by Khrushchev s arguments.
rjURING his Polish tour, Khrushchev managed
almost to contradict himself within a few
hours. The Soviet Premier on July 16 gave a
"solemn pledge" that the Soviet Union would
"never, never, never start a war." But shortly
thereafter he was warning West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer that Adenauer had "for
gotten the lesson given
he declared, "can be repeated again."
: 'Virtually the Richard Halliburton of states
men, Khrushchev nevertheless on July 20 can
celled a projected Scandinavian tour because of
the "anti-Soviet" atmosphere prevailing in Swe
den, Denmark and Norway. The Manchester
Guardian comments that Khrushchev "may have
forgotten" a remark he
to Great Bntain. "We are political leaders," said
the Communist party boss in London, "and
understand that on such intricate questions as
relations between countries it is impossible to'
have a unanimous opinion." ,
.
ANOTHER inconsistency may have been be
hind the cancellation of the Scandinavian
visit. Khrushchev has thus far been unable to
sell his plan to declare the Baltic Sea an atom
free zone. Indeed, the Swedish foreign minister,
Osten Unden, was unkind enough last month to
point out that Russia was the only Baltic power
with nuclear weapons.
The London Times suggests that whatever the
circumstances, Khrushchev may have been free
ing himself in August "for a broader reason."
This could be either a conference with the East
Germans if the Geneva meeting goes badly
or the long-anticipated talks at the summit. On
this speculation Vice President Nixon's private
conversations with Khrushchev in Moscow to
te extent that they are pijblicly reported could
give some revealing clues, as indeed they could
help in other respects to unriddle the enigma of
Nikita S. Khrushchev. E.R.R.
Launching the Savannah
Mamie Eisenhower wielded the traditional
bottle of champagne against the hull of the
world's first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the
N.S. Savannah, on Tuesday, July 21, at Camden,
N. J. All eyes of course were on the future, and
there were references to President' Eisenhower's
statment of Oct. 15, 1956, calling the ship "a
floating laboratory . . . a forerunner of atomic
merchant and passenger fleets which one day
will unite the nations of the world in peaceful
trade."
That rosy future, however, is a long way off.
Viewed in purely economic terms, the Savannah
will be a sea-gding white elephant. The required
investment about $42.5 million and the poor
cargo-to-size ratio badly overbalance the advan
tage conferred by relatively low operating costs.
Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, asked in May to eval
uate the commercial prospects of atom-powered
cargo vessels, answered with one syllable : "Dim !"
DUT then few expect the Savannah to bring in
a 6 per cent return, either in dollars or scien
tific data. It is a demonstration project, one
that can be sailed the world over to show off
American skill and, more important, to prove our
sincerity about beating swords into plowshares.
And an impressive exhibit it will be. Sleek
and modem in design, the Savannah will have a
maximum power capacity of 74 million watts and
will be able to sail 300,000 nautical miles without
refueling that is, for about three full years.
These whopping statistics are likely to make the
Savannah as effective an instrument of U. S.
foreign policy as we've sent abroad since the
days of (sh-h-h). gunboat diplomacy. E.R.R.

No Utopia
To the Editor: Your "Human
Jungle" editorial Wednesday,
July 22, 1959, contains much
truth; you recognize some of
the frustrating evils and false
hoods man has to cope with
through his life in this 20th
century.
Conclusions reached about
Utopia, however, at best, of
fer only insult to the human
intellect. Once you . admit
there is no Utopia, you must
abandon the struggle to find
it. How can this involve any
injustice to mankind? Rather
does man not wholly degrade
himself by stolidly pursuing
that which he knows does not
exist? . i ,
Truly, there is no Utopia.
What then is there to compel
man to better himself and his
environment? The knowledge
there will eventually be a just
compensation, reward; and if
reward also punishment. Man
therefore knows he wiU be
held accountable for his ac
tions. In order to qualify for
this reward, he must live ac
cording to some norm. Exact
ly what norm, involves us in
man's present . confusion.
Nevertheless, if a norm has
been presented; and man will
be compensated according to
the way he lives in relation to
this norm, every man is cap
able of knowing this norm
regardless of the "jungle of
moral, political, and diploma
tic confusion."
This norm represents a
truth; and may ' therefore
never be compromised.
This struggle is not eternal.
Rather it will end and the
manner of the struggle will
decide an eternity.

He's Proud, Too '
. To the Editor: I have only
been privileged to reside in
Oregon for about 2Vi years.
Being an American (from Se
attle) and proud of it, and of
my family, my home, Medford
and surrounding country, the
wonderful company I work
for and some pretty wonder
ful customers, you would
think I should be completely
satisfied.
There are three things that
to me seem typically Ameri
can as far as attitude goes:
a great sense of pride, a drive
to constantly get ahead, and a
great reluctance (I say reluct
ance, I guess maybe I should
say refusal) to be pushed
around. This brings me to the
point. .'
I have just read the commu
nication from. "Malemute
Slim." The idea . that some
people in Alaska would not
want to be a part of these
United States never occurred
to me. However, Slim seems
to have a very good point.
As lucky as I am to have
the family, job, etc., that I do,
and as much as war frightens
me (I was in War 2) I still do
not . like pussyfooting to
Russia, or any other country
for that matter.
They say even a rat will
fight when he's cornered, but
I would hate to put myself
down as a rat and have to be
cornered before I would stick
up for what we believe to be
right!
There are a lot of things
in life that can frighten us,
be it a sick relative, loss of
job, bills, or any other of
hundreds of things. But we're
not quitters.
Of course, the American
people (and I) don't want war.
But we're not cowards. I'm
with you, Slim! Let's take the
initiative away from Khrush
chev & Co., and put our cards
on the table. This is the only
way to put this big bluff and
bully out of business. If I'm
wrong, we may have war fol
lowing my course, but in that

case we will have it anyway
as soon as - that big baboon
gets everything he wants by
demanding.
Why wait until Russia is
ready before putting our foot
down? Let us call the tune
for a change.
I shall close with this and
the wish that Malemute Slim
will grow to be proud to be
an American, because, Slim,
there are millions of us
Americans that are proud to
be Americans, and we don't
like being pushed around
either.

Recreational Benefits :
To the Editor: Some people
feel that sport fishermen, the
three Rogue basin chapters of
the Izaak Walton League, and
myself, are opposed to a dafn
on - the Rogue river . at Lost
creek. A check will reveal
that we have been working
for a long time to fry to se
cure operation of a dam
there that will be beneficial
to . the fishery.
We oppose a dam that will
be damaging to the Rogue
River salmon and steelhead
fishery. Many of us have fig
ured out that the Lost creek
project can be operated so as
to be beneficial to these fish.
We were able to secure
changes in the Coordination
Act last Congress which give
fish equal partnership with
other project purposes such
as flood control.
The time is here to secure
a dam that will be operated
so as to benefit the fishery.
We can use those benefits
along with those under flood
control, recreation and power
to pay for ,the dam.
Why we insist upon bene
fiting the fishery is a mat
ter of economics. From 1945
to 1955 the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service made a study
of the Rogue River basin to
broaden the knowledge of
fish resources of the Rogue
River basin and their utili
zation so that these resources
would receive adequate con
sideration whenever plans
were formulated to develop
the water resources of the
basin. This study reveals the
following facts:
1. Area is important recre
ation area; 1,725,000 vacation
visitors each year.
2. 1952 and 1953 an aver
age of 13,845 Chinook sal
mon, weighing 249,210 pounds
were taken in the Rogue an
nually as result of 35,237
angler days effort.
3. 9,426 steelhead weighing
65,982 pounds were caught
each year as result, of 22,254
angler days effort.
4. Commercial troll fishery
caught 173,000 chinook a year
from. the Rogue river.
,5. 1952 to 1954 the average
annual chinook salmon run
in Rogue was 87,000.
6. Facilities operated ex
clusively for hunting and
fishing represent capital in
vestment of $3,000,000.
7. In addition resorts, mo
tels and other tourist facili
ties dependent upon hunting
and fishing for a large part
of their business represent a
capital investment of 10 mil
lion dollars.
8. Any loss to fish and wild
life of basin will be reflected
in all other associated recre
ational activities and the
economic welfare of the in
dustries dependent thereon so
that the accumulative loss" to
the basin could be very large.
The 1948 report compiled
jointly by the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the Ore
gon State Game Commission
lists the annual value of the
Rogue River ' fishery to the
State of Oregon as $2,155,000.

the demand for another sur
render somewhere else. There
fore, the President said erim-
ly, he would indeed fight a
nuclear war for Berlin if driv
en to it.
That was long ago. But the
President's reported state
ment to Bruce was echoed in
large measure by his remarks
to the White House reporters
last week, about the sleepless
nights he had experienced be
cause of the thought of using
nuclear weapons to defend
Berlin. In fact, one must as
sume (and it is a sobering as
sumption) that the President's
honest intention is exactly
what he says it is-not to give
a significant inch, and to fight
rather than surrender if he
has to do so.
A S THE President is a man
who relies so heavily on
his staff officers, these men,
and chiefly Secretary of State
Christian A. Herter, will de
fine the phrase ."not give an
inch." Theoretically, their def
inition could quite easily turn
out to be a concealed surren
der. But on the gut-issue, so
far as one can judge, Herter is
just as firm as John Foster
DuL'es ever was.
In these circumstances, it is
bewildering that almost noth
ing has been done, even today,
to give tangible expression to
the President's resolution.
With very little plain speak
ing about the choice that may
lie ahead, President Eisenhow
er could rally the country be
hind him in a way np one
could mistake. By so doing, he
would strengthen Secretary
Herter s hand immeasurably,
Instead, while making his
firm statement for the record,
the President has allowed the
country to fall into a state of
uncorseted complacency about
the Berlin crisis. Therefore
Khrushchev tells all and sun
dry that the "workers" of
America will not support the
President's announced policy.
TN THE military sphere, too,
the President has been per
suaded with much, difficulty
by Secretary Herter to order
what are officially called
"quiet precautions easily no
ticeable by the Soviet intelli
gence." But he has steadfastly
refused to order the major
measures that would convince
the Kremlin he means busi
ness.
It is very plain from the
way Khrushchev has been
speaking and acting that he
does not think the President
means business. That error, if
it is an error, can needlessly
lead on to a world tragedy.
For just that reason, if the
President truly means busi
ness, it is his duty to show it
in the most decisive and unar
guable way.
Why has he not done so?
First of all, when the forego
ing arguments have been out
lined to him, he has always
replied that "everyone
knows" what his policy is, be
cause he has explained his
policy at press conference aft
er press conference. It has
never occurred to Eisenhower,
apparently, that the Kremlin
is only impressed by acts, and
never by words.
Then too, there is the pull
of the curious Eisenhower po
litical technique, which has
been described by Arthur
Schlesinger Jr. - "whenever
clear cut issues threaten to
burst into flame, he douses
them with torrents of plati
tude and piety." The descrip
tion may be cruel, but the
technique is real, and It has
been pretty effective so far in
American domestic policies.
The only trouble is that it has
now become a very.dangerous
technique indeed.

casualty figures were exag

available to Western news
men desperately wanted the
anti-Red forces to win and
hoped to make it look as bad
as possible for the Reds-pos-sibly
to encourage other anti

Agitators' Schools
"Schools for agitators wer
being operated and anti-Am
erican programs were being
initiated. Every one of th
Cuban unions was headed by
Communists. The Communists
controlled the powerful radio
station Mil Diez, Cuba's only
free channel, and the dailv
paper Hoy, which published
direct propaganda cables from
Moscow."
The Communist Party line
was this: The United States
was both seeking to exploit
all of Latin America and, with
the atomic bomb, actively
was planning another war to
obtain control of the entire
world. The propaganda pass
word was: Yankee imperial
ism. The purpose was to
arouse sufficient anger against
the United States to destroy
U.S. influence throughout
Latin America.
What Happans Naxt :
It is not necessary to sug
gest that because such was the
situation with Grau San Mar
tin in the presidential palace
that the new president was a
Communist. It is not neces
sary to suggest, either, that
Castro is a Communist because
a somewhat similar situation
seems now to be developing
in Cuba. The best informed
Americans, including Presi
dent Eisenhower, are careful
to avoid making any such ac
cusation. Castro and Grau San Mar
tin both entered office as ex
travagantly popular Idols.
Neither could have repudiat
ed the Cuban Communists and
made it stick. The fact which
is disquieting in the United
States is that Grau San Mar
tin did not do that, with well
known results, as set down by
Miss PhillipsT
Castro doesn't repudiate
the Reds, either. The question
is: what happens in Cuba
next? '
