This senator s life served a valuable purpose. The senator’s son stated that his father delayed (against the advice of his doctors) major lung surgery because the Senator insisted that he must guide the North Atlantic Treaty and the Inter-American Treaty through Congress “without regard to his personal welfare . Senator Arthur Vandenberg, a republican, died having the reputation of being a founding father of the United Nations and republican leader of a bi-partisan foreign policy. During World War IL Senator Vandenberg changed from an isolationist to what is termed an internationalist. The Senator, by so doing, stepped into the limelight of political thought and became a controversial figure. Fortunate is the United States and the world that Senator Vandenberg put his nation first and himself second. Few men and women ever have the opportunity that Senator Vandenberg had and fewer still choose the route that he did. Instead of spending his last bfeath in confusing us. Senator Vandenberg busied himself with the affairs of a leader. Men are remembered for many things, but the man who supports a great human program or ideal cuts deepest his mark on the pages of recorded history. Senator Vandenberg worked and sweat in his government’s work instead of acting and posing in the public eye. Many so-called and self-styled saviors of the United States and the world might well “take five” and think about the meaning of Senator Arthur IL Vandenberg’s doings for his Country. Though he was being recruited for President, Vandenberg stuck to his senatorial duties as an officer of the United States Government and pursued»the task of presenting to the world a republican-democratic foreign policy so vital in these troubled times. Vandenberg did not embarrass, hinder or harass the leadership of his country, lie made good and honest suggestions to and co-operated with the democratic administrations on foreign policy. He made a bi-partisan foreign policy by such simple and honest conduct. This Nation needs desperately more Vandenberg». We Are in Korea Secretary of State Dean Acheson, in a letter to the father of a young M arine Corporal, haw answered many of the questions that young Americans and their parents are asking about our military action in Korea—and about the necessity for our expanded defense program. Following is the full text of Secretary of State *\cheson’s letter to the father of Marine Corporal John IL Mouflette: work to do, a part to play in Dear Mr. Moullette: the community in a hundred I have thought a great deal about ways.

FIRST, ALBANY ■ Salem Heavy Hauling & Equipment Co For our country, and for most of us as individuals, the period which has passed since V-E and V-J Days has been one of cruel disappointment, slowly forming resolution, and, finally, great determination and effort, The high hopes, for which great sacrifices were made during the war, did not come to ready fruition. That did not mean that these hopes—for peace, and for a good life for all were wrong, or that the principles of freedom and justice on which they were based were not worthy of these sacrifices. What it did mean was that it was going to be a good deal harder to build the kind of world we wanted than we thought it was going to be. We started out, even before the war had ended, building the founda tion of the structure of peace, of law and order in the world, in the United Nations. We hoped that all nations would work together in bringing this about. We came very close to realizing this aspiration. An international organization has been started func- tioning. and in some cases it has performed extremely successfully. The role of the United Nations in the disputes in Palestine and in Indonesia suggest that, far from being discouraged, we should be heartened by the progress that has been made. However, as it became clear that the rulers of the Soviet Union not only were not inter ested in cooperating with us, but were challenging the survi val of our free institutions, and the independence of all nations, we have been obliged to build up our strength again, all of us. In some ways, this is an ancient problem. Our forebears on this con tinent had it cruelly impressed upon them that the liberty we enjoy is not won and preserved without unremit ting effort, without sacrifice, without “eternal vigilance.” But we had for so long enjoyed the blessings of free- I dom that we had come to accept this condition as automatically assured. It has fallen to us—to your son’s generation, and to ours to take up again the defense of freedom against the challenge of tyranny. In other ways, this is a new prob lem. Our country, which has risen to a position of unprecedented power and eminence in the world, is seeking to use that power in such a way as to help bring about a peaceful inter national order. This means that we have to be doing two things at once: While we move ahead in our efforts to build the kind of a world in which we can all live together peacefully and (Continued on Page 3) CANDLES BY COSBY EMERY CANDLES CANDI ES OF CALIFORNIA lumber and other building materials needed to IN OCR DOWNSTAIRS STORE FRERES BUILDING SUPPLY Mill City Phone 3213 Stayton Phone 2434 Lyons Phone: 113 Salem Phones: 2-1921; Night 2 4417 HAULING AND MOVING HEAVY MACHINERY and Mill Equipment Up To 25 Tons Including D8 and HD11 Cats, and 3/i-yard shovels.
