The reds have confirmed that they WILL TAKE PART IN THE TALKS. Hmmmmmm. The reds had said only a few days before that they WOULDN'T take part in the Geneva talks un less the United States agreed be forehand to stop its own testing of nuclear weapons. The U.S. refused flatly to enter Into any such agreement. The moral? Aaron Hill, an English poet who lived ana wrote back in the IGOO's, put it this way: "Tender - handed stroke a nettle, "And it stings you for your pains: "Grasp it like a man of mettle "And it soft as silk remains." More along the same line: The United States has formally sked Russia to release nine American airmen whose plane was forced down in Soviet Armenia last week. Officials in the defense department in Washington say the state department has ORDERED Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson to DEMAND that the Russians release the kidnaped Americans A hit of history: From the early 1500 s until the end of the 1700 s the Barbary pi rates harried the Mediterranean commerce of all nations, including the great and powerful ones. They captured ships and men ana HELD THEM r UK KA.NMJM. This went on for generations. Then In 1801 Thomas Jefferson, third President of the infant republic of the United States of America, took the bull by the horns. He sent Lieutenant Stephen Decatur to the Mediterranean with an American naval force. The enterprise thus begun was carried on until the pirate rulers of the Barbary States knuckled under and humbly promised to STOP PIRACY AGAINST AMER ICAN SHIPPING. Incidentally Later in his career Stephen De catur attended a banquet at which he was called on for a toast. He offered this one: "Our country: In her intercourse with foreign nations may she al ways be in the right: but OUK COUNTRY, right or wrong. I think maybe we'd better quit russvfooting in our foreign policy and go back to the days of our national youth when confident of the Tightness of our cause our motto was THE B1UUKK THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL.
