Mackenzie Doubts That Moscow Will Shelve
World Revolution For Belter US Relations
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Washington's plain-spoken and at
times bluntly worded bid for “decent
and reasonable relationship" with
Russia Is a historic experiment
which may least produce some clar
mention of Moscow's Intentions.
Amerlian Ambassador Walter
pjrdrU Smith has told Soviet Fore
im. Minster Molotov that ‘‘us far
it:; tiie United Slates Is concerned,
tlie door Is always open for full
discussion and the composing of
our differences." Smith followed
this with the forthright assertlion
that the American people are solid
ly behind the United States policy
toward Russia- Molotpv is quoted
' Tass
by the Russian news agency
us replying:
'The Soviet government views
favorably the desire of the govern-
ment of the United States to im
prove relations . . . and agrees to
the proposal to proceed with this
end In view to discussion and settle
ment of differences existing be
tween us."

American diplomatic quarters are
examining the Soviet reply with
extreme caution. So does this oolu
nlst, and he invited readers to do
the. same. One Is reminded of tl
truism that words arc the cheap .
commodity on the market and tliX
it's concrete actions whifh count.
All honest folk most certainly
must wish for good results, but we |
should approach this fes ■ with rc
alism. There is one basic fact which
we cannot escape:
All I he differences between the
United States and Russia stem from
the. Soviet's cardinal policy of world
revolution for the ,of com-
munism. As this column has so often
•pointed J out before, that policy h as
existed ever since the establish
ment of the bolshevtst regime in
1917. It is a vital part of com
munist program.
V/e see the concrete effects of
this policy in many countries
oughout the world. It .has even- do
minate.d the United Nations to
such an extent that, the work of
peace organisation has been
all but hamstrung.' It is. doing its
best to throttle the Marshall plan
fur rehabilitation of Europe. It is
reaching for political control with
in the United States itself.
This being so. the chief problem
before any Russo-American con
ference must be that of the world
revolution for the spread of com
mutii.sm If Moscow will drop that,

Goodrich Gives Interesting Data
On Early History Of Spalding County
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Judge L. P. 1
Spalding County Histor
ian, has prepared the following in
teresting article on Spalding Coun
ty.)
By L. p. GOODRICH
Spalding County was created by
an Act of the Legislature on Dec
ember 20th, 1851. The Act provided
for an election of county officers
to be held on the first Monday in i
February, 1852, which was February
2nd. On Saturday. February 7th.
1852, the newly elected Justices of
the inferior Court of Spalding
County met to organize the county.
vVhich At that was time abolished the Inferior by th,e, Court, Con- j
station of 1868, exercised the P°w
ers over county matters now exer- 1
cised by the Ordinary and the Com
missioners of Roads and Revenues.
February 7th, 1852, would, there
fore, seem to be the official birth
day of the county.
The complete minutes of the In
ferior Court from 1852 to 1864 are
preserved in a large, well bound
lUine on file in the office of
the Clerk of the Superior Court,
and are an original source of in
formation concerning the early
history of the county. Those min
utes contain, among other things,
a list of the county officers; a
of the grand and petit jurors; and
interesting references to the public
roads of that day. Those references
show that the road to Atlanta was
then called the Whitehall Road.
the name having evidently survived
from the early days, before Atlanta
was discovered and when the road
led to the Whitehall Tavern for
whveh Whitehall Street In Atlanta
was named. There are also refer
encef to Nlggerleg Road and Burnt
Mill Road In Cabin District, and
a lot of other valuable information,
including the specifications for the
first jail, with a dungeon which
was very romantic.
Another curious entry was the
“laying out of prison bounds,” for
the benefit of insolvent debtors,
Imprisonment for debt was not
abolished’in Georgia until 1868.
generally a debtor was allowed the
use 4 ' of the "prison bounds”, which
included one hundred acres, more
blame them.
—Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower,
U. S. Army, Ret.
President Truman has cast aside
politics, and he doesn’t care what
lm ppens to him politically.
—Sen. Carl Hatch (D) of New
Mexico.
• • •
The trick of writing a tax bill is
to pluck the goosa without too
much hissing.
—Sen. James P. Kem (R) of Mis
souri.
♦ * *
The plain fact is that when pub
lic school education in states or
school districts is bad, the basic
fault is almost always lack of
money.
—Federal Security Administrator
Oscar R. Ewing, U. S. Office of
Education.
• *
Russia plans to control the world
by subjugating Europe without war
are and conquering the United
’!a h rs from whhin. The Soviet
Unwi is carrying the war where
Germany left off.
—Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, former
Polish deputy nremier.
