evolt Was Born In Bern,
Editori Note: The following dis
patch by Frank H. Bartholomew,
president of United Press Interna

vestigation of Communist espionage
activities in Switzerland.

The Iraqi revolt was "born in
Bern." Western counter - in
telligence agents indicated to
day. A sudden increase in the move
ment of Communist agents by
air from Moscow via Prague to
Zurich and on to Bern, and of
military and political representa
tives of the United Arab Republic
was observed and in some in
stances secretly recorded in
motion pictures made at airports
this correspondent was told.
Bern, because of the neutral
position of Switzerland which is
free from all blocs either Com
munist or Western, "has been a
regular meeting place for the
Algerian rebels and their Com
munist supporters.
Here the Lebanon crisis was
hatched, and many of the politi
cal action and propaganda plots
which are tossed to the surface in
the satellite states, Indonesia.
Red China and the Middle East.
Western intelligence agents
have a label for these, "Born in
Bern. It is now attached to the
Iraqi revolt.
Switzerland has clearly become
the Lommumst spy center for
the Arab world as well as all of
Europe.
MILLIONS FOR SPIES
Bern, the ancient capital, Is
again tbe hub ot the wheel as
it was in World War II, when
Allen C. Dulles, now head of the
Central Intelligence Agency in
Washington, directed American
counter intelligence from that
city.
The Soviet Intelligence opera
tions have largely moved from
Prague and elsewhere to Bern,
his reporter was told by re
sponsible observers.
Lett behind in Prague, beyond
the reach of alert Swiss police,
is the elaborate plant and equip
ment for manufacturing false
passports and credentials.
"Although the total is hard to
ascertain, there is reason to be
lieve that the Communists send
out an average of $1,000,000 per
week from Switzerland to spies,
provocateurs and contraband trad
ers for their work in the Western
democracies." Henry J. Taylor.
United States ambassador to
Switzerland, told United Press
International.
Taylor, a trained investigator
from years of experience as a
hard - headed journalist and
foreign affairs expert, says that
this is one of the basic reasons
that the Western powers regard
Switzerland with its 70 foreign
missions from the worlds of Com
munism and democracy as "the
No. 1 listening post for Europe
and the Middle East."
FFEE WORLD
Zurich, Switzerland'? largest
city, and Geneva, seat of many
international conferences, have
become with Bern the physical
contact points for Red agents
operating in the Middle East,
France, Western Germany, Brit
ain, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
"Their target is the free world
and they load up their ammuni
tion in Zurich, Geneva and Bern,'
Taylor said.
Here the agents come to make
reports and to receive orders for
future activities and faked creden
tials for implementing them.
Transfer of currencies from the
issue of one nation to that of an
other is facilitated, since Switzer
land has recognized not only the
A'estern powers and Russia but
also the latter's satellites includi
ng Red China and Bulgaria. The
United States recognizes neither
of the latter. Both are heavily
represented in Bern.
A second reason tne transfer oi
spy activities was advantageous to
the Reds is because ot Switzer
land's central location as the hub
of a complex of modern rail and
airlines fanning out in all direc
tions.
Zurich's Kloton Airport has one
of the heaviest year-round traffic
loads in all Europe, with direct
daily schedules to Moscow via a
chance of airlines in Prague.
CAREFUL OF LAWS
The secondary route for Soviet
exchange, equally fast ana regu
lar, is via the Vienna gateway
No Russian airline or aircrart is
permitted to fly into Switzerland

Switzerland is the apex of the

which Itself spreads over a dis

are closer to Bern than to each

"The Communists have operated
with a careful eye to the strict
Swiss laws against espionage,"
this reporter was told in Zurich,

Jgeme Agents Report
Pacifists Say They Can'
Support Military Force
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Can Christians conscientiously
support the use of military force
to resolve international disputes:
Pacifists answer that question
with a categorical "no'." Most
Christian theologians. Catholic and
Protestant, answer it with a heav
ily qualified "yes."
The debate has been going on
for centuries. It is always intensi
fied by events, like the current
Middle East crisis, which force
people to think of war as some
thing more than an abstract pos
sibility. Although pacifists have histori
cally been in the minority, they
have one great advantage in the
ancient debate: Their position Is
much more simple, clear-cut and
easy to explain.
Essentially the pacifist argu
ment goes like this:
War is totally evil. It is destruc
tive of human life, and human
values. In this era of nuclear

This was 1st Lt. Mike Ellis' first
letter to his wife since he and
eight other American soldiers
were captured June 7 when their
helicopter made a forced landing
in Communist East Germany.
Mrs. Ellis received the letter
yesterday.
This may take a while, Ellis
wrote, "but try not to worry
We have no idea when we'll get
turned over.
"We're being treated okay
I'm well and healthy, and I hope
you aren't lotting this make you

Jesus, who commanded his follow
ers to love their enemies, to turn
the other cheek when struck, and
to return good for evil,
At this point, pacifists branch
into two schools. The "pure" pac
ifist says simply that he will fol
low a policy of non-violence, what
ever its consequences may be. II
the consequences are disaster, he
is prepared to accept that as the
price of bearing loyal witness to
what he conceives to be the teach
ings of Christ,
The "practical" pacifist argues
that non-violence is a workable
plan for avoiding the ultimate ca
tastrophe of nuclear war. He says
that if Christians refuse to bear
arms against an enemy, the ene
my will be won over by their ex
ample of love, and there will be
peace.
Christians who are non-pacifists
agree that aggressive or "preven
tive" war cannot be morally justi
fied under any circumstances, and
that even a defensive war is in
herently contrary to Christian
teachings. But they believe there
are some circumstances in which
a willingness to resort to force is
the lesser of two evils.
Prof. Robert McAfee Brown of
Union Theological Seminary puts
it this way:
Suppose you are walking down
the street and see a thug beating
up a defenseless man. You know
that Christ has commanded you
to love your neighbor. But who is
your neighbor in this particular
situation, and how are you to ex
press your love? If you refuse to
intervene in the struggle, you tac
itly give support to the thug. If
you intervene, you have to use
force.
A distinguished Catholic writer,
John Coglev, put the same argu
ment In different words. Militar
ism is evil, Cogley wrote in the
magazine Commonwealth, but
Christians must also recognize that
American armed might "has kept
us from destruction."
"What peace we have ts tho bit
ter frujt of mutual fear. There
