"THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS.”
—George Putnam
Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address
Delivered November 19, 1863
Fourscore and »even yearn ago our father« brought forth on this
rontinent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the prop
ortion that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, tenting whether that nation, or any nation ho conceived and
ho dedicated can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field an a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this. But, in a large sense, we cannot
dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far
above our power to add or to detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that
this nation, under God. shall have a new birth of freedom—and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish
from the earth.
Taft’s Confessions
The citizens of the United States of America should stuff cotton in their
ears when such remarks as this are made in regard to Korea: “We might as
well have a declared war,” Senator Taft.
United States Senator Wayne Morse in a major policy speech to Congress
on Jan. 15, 1951, answering Taft’s outburst. "Surely the Senator from Ohio
cannot have forgotten that our action in Korea is part of the I nited Nations
action against aggression, and is nothing more than that; and surely the
Senator cannot have realized the extreme gravity of his suggestion.”
The strange attitude of Senator Taft towards the world situation is
shown by his words: “I believe they (Soviets) are still thinking in terms
of a slow but steady advance by the methods which they have used up to
this time."
Comments Senator Morse, "1 fear that this minimizing of the Russian
threat has disheartened the free nations and given aid and comfort to those
who would destroy us. The Senator has seemed to endorse the pious Soviet
claims of their abhorrence of war and their devotion to peace. He has
aeemed to support the Russian allegations of warmongering on our part.
The Daily Worker, the mouthpiece in the United States of the Kremiln, in
a front-page editorial, under date of January 8, entitled ‘Senator Taft’s
Valuable Confessions.’ used the Senator’s remarks as proof of the truth
of Russian propaganda, as branding President Truman as the enemy of peace,
and as exposing our policy of peace as the Big Lie. Pravda has been having
a field day with the Senator's thesis that Russia is not likely to start a war.
The entire Communist propaganda machine is capitaliizng on this statement
to lull the world into a false sense of security and to divide the free nations.
“Our goal is peace. In all our defense effort, let it never be forgotten
by the people of this and other countries that we want peace and will only
depart from it if our liberty and lives are threatened.
"We must be aware of our national purpose. What we are really trying
to do is to defend our liberties and to assure that they shall not be replaced
by the tyranny and terror of a Communist regime.
"In order to preserve our liberties, every American citizen must do
his duty. Our circumstance is not unlike the colonial days when the early
settlers took their stations in the blockhouse when danger threatened from
without. All of us today must I m * alert against those who would commit
treason againt our purpose.
“There are thousands of Communists in our midst today who are ready
to stick a dagger in our back at a word from Moscow. As I have said
many times, and now repeat, we need to remember that Soviet Russia never
moves from the outside in against a nation until she is ready to move from
the inside of that nation out to meet her forces coming from without.
“Every institution of enlightenment in North America, including the
church, lodge, press, radio—every group where free men gather—should
join forces in the struggle for peace. We cannot win the peace by wishing
for it, nor by blaming the politicians because we do not have it, nor by
adopting the fatalistic attitude that war is inevitable, nor by placing all the
hlame on our enemies in the war now gripping the world.
“But while we must not abandon the struggle for peace nor go to the
other extreme of adopting a fatalistic attitude that all-out war is inevitable,
the freedom-loving nations must nevertheless build up their strength to the
end that the dictators in the Kremlin may he persuaded to the view, before
all-out war engulfs us, that Communiât aggression must stop."

Last night at Lindy’s a bunch of us were discussing what, for want
of a better term, I’ll call the inevitability of the impossible.
"The most improbable yarn I ever heard." said Deems Taylor, “is
the one about a missionary named Renault who was captured in 1948 by
a tribe of cannibals in French Equatorial Africa.
