It isn't the same cold war any

Until the Parts Peace Conference,

Is happening In East. Asia. This is
where communt.xin has opened up
a whole new big' front
This front shows signs of bemg
coordinated, like the drive against
religious groups in Europe
Bui m Asia it lakes another form
It prods the vast unrest prevailing
among more than half the people
of the world, and Its strategy is
to marry their various nationalistic
movements.
Nationalism is a tide in Asia as
her peoples seek a belter life. Asia- j
tics waul to get away from colon- j !
ialism. The communist tactic is to i
change.evolution away from, colon
ialism Into revolution. It brands
j every western attempt to discourage
I Violence as just more imperialism—
American imperialism.
! In this situation there are some I
subtly but powerfully dangerous
things. They originate in the way
East thinks of the West - and ,
j of , alien ,,, Western , things like ... demo-. ,
: cracy and . communism, ‘
\ Some Asiatics were civilized when i
'
' Europeans were still living in caves,
and as "colored” peoples they have '
a hardy complex about past and I ,
present color lines drawn In the
West.
This, warmed by the oriental's ■
proud resentment over his colonial
Judtce experience, that produces saturates a the strong Orient. pie- j
There Is little faith In peace.
World War III seems Inevitable
to most Asiatics. Judging from their i
own feudal background and what
Russo-American statesmanship th^y j
have seen first hand, they do not i
belleve the two young giants of the
world today are capable of living !
in peace with each other.
Orientals look at places like Kor
ea. There they see a homogenous
people whom Russo-American riv
alry has split in two since V-J Day
To them it looks like a two-headed
monster of Western power politics
Korea's two separate governments,
to the Asiatic, can no more make
up than can the big power rivalry

A solution to the absent-mind

His answer to this age-old

Dr, Combs described Syrac

"The results so far have been

Stopping Car
Can Kill, Too,
Burson Warns
A stopping car can kill as quick
ly as a speeding car.
This was pointed out today by
Police Chief J. I. Burson in a dis
cussion of Griffin's July campaighn
against excessive speed.
"To the family of the person
killed, it's no consolation that the
driver was trying to stop," the chief
said.
“While traveling at 50 miles an
hour, a motorist driving with good
brakes needs about 185 feet—from
10 to 14 car lengths—to stop. In
that 185 feet he is practically help
less. He sits there, perhaps trying
to dodge or swerve, but other than
that, he is powerless.”
Spurred by the fact that one out
of every three traffic deaths in
volves excessive speed, the Police
Department has joined with the
National Safety Council in its cam
paign for greater driver responsibi
lity.
Thp Purpose of this program on
speed control is to convince all dri
vers of the truth of the July slo
‘Speeders Lose," the chief
pointed out.
“Exceeding safe and reasonobie
speeds,” he said, “ is like driving
with a chip on your shoulder, beg
ging both inertia and kinetic en
ergy—two forces you can's possibly
lick—to knock it off."
The chief warned. "The next time
you're tempted to drive at an ex- '
cessive speed, remember that you
are stakiug the few minutfes you
might save against your life because j
“Speeders Lose."

What Follows <
Atlantic Pact?
$
By JAMES
WASHINGTON —UPi— On Thur
sday our road into the future takes
a new turning.
Whether in the end it will have
any real meaning, although It sou
nds big now, remains to be seen, as
this will show.
On Thursday, after two weeks of
debate, the Senate is expected to
approve our joining the Atlantic
Pact.
This pledges us to help the nat
ions of Western Europe, which have
signed the pact with us, If they’re
attacked.
Since Russia is
the only nation on
the continent Dig
enough to do the
attacking, the
pact is aimed at
Russia.
So it’s an out
right military al
liance, the first
America has ever
entered with ot-
her nations in peacetime.
'Our joining the United Nations
was a kind of military alliance but
il is hedged around with “if’s". Be
sides, U. N. hasn’t worked so far.)
If they stand solidly together as
allies—and, in addition, know we’ll
go to their defense—they'll have
more will to stand up against Rus
s ; a
The lesson from World War II is
still clear. Before 1939 the Western
powers were un-allied and we
stood aloof until Hitler had over
run Europe.
If they had been allied solidlly
and he had known we'd fight for
them. Hitler might not have start
ed the war at all. But the will to
resist Russia is one thing, the abi
lity to do it is another.
So. after the Atlantic Pact is
signed, it raises some other quest
ions: What happens then? Do we
just sit back and tell Western Eur
ope we'll help out after it is' at
tacked?
Or, having, signed the pact, do
we pitch in and help Europe build
up its defense by sending it, arms
before there is any attack? The
pact supporters, and they’re in the
majority, point out:
1. If Western Europe is militarily
weak. Russia may be able to sweep
over it and stand astride all Eur
ope. It might be too late for us to
help then. And. if we did try to
help, we’d have to fight our 1 'way
back onto a conquered Europe
where we had no allies left,
2. But if Europe is well-armed.
and Russia attacks, it may be able
to stand firm until we arrive with
help and then the armies of our
allies could join with our armies
against the Russians,
President Thuman, the State De
partment and WCstrtn Europe
want this country to back up the
pact by sending arms. That pro
gram of arms will cost about $1,-
500,000.000 to start, probably more
later.
But right here the whole thing
snags: For two weeks a small band
of Republican Senators—led by Taft
of Ohio and Donnell of Missouri—
have opposed the Atlantic Pact and
delayed Senate approval of it.
They're so outnumbered—at least,
on the pact—that the Senate Is ex
pected to okay the pact Thursday
evening. But—
Taft and his followers have raised
a storm about the' whole Idea

Fault-F4nding
Kills Vacation
BT ALICIA HART I
NEA Staff Writer
'T’HE person most worth a woman
vacationer’s best efforts to fas
‘ cinate is the husband who has to
i share the ups and downs of travel
I and the ofttimes limited living
; quarters of crowded hotels.
All of this is pointed up by a
long-suffering husband who writes
I to ask that a word be said to wives
on the subject of taking what *
j comes in stride for doesn't two weeks, yield
even if what comes
all of the comforts of home.
The wife who coinplains that
| the food isn’t good, that beds are
| I like guests straw and dull that company the other makes hotel
are >
the kind of companion who can t
wreck a holiday for a man. Her
type is not too uncommon. Some
times she voices such complaints
within the hearing of others be
sides her husband, which is an
other thing that can make a man
squirm. *
-Every woman setting out for
vacation should leave her super
critical attitude at home. Finding
fault is always easy, so that the l
critical woman will always find a
hotel room in a crowded vacation
spot - or a tourist cabin en r,ute t0
one. an easy target.
Vacations are intended to offer
a person a release of tensions, an
opportunity to have fun, a chance
to free a personality from the
routine that restrains it for 50
weeks of the year. No woman
should permit those two weeks of
release and change to be spoiled
by a bad temper or a critical atti
tude.
that the arms program—which has ,
to be voted on separately—probab
ly won’t get through the Senate
this session at all. If it ever gets
through.
(Some of the senators who’ll vote
for the pact may vote against the
arms program or vote to cut it «
down so much that it will be feeble
or useless in the eyes of the Euro
peans.)
Taft says he's willing to help
Europe stop Russia m a war but
can't vote lor the pact or the arms
program because he’s afraid this
would bring on a war.
So. even after tne Senate blesses
the pact, the big question remains:
Will it be worth a dime without
the arms program? Without the
arms, will Western Europe oave
any * a ‘ tb * n our sincerity, or their
ability, to back up the pact? In
short. Is the pact alone enough to
give Europe the will to block Rus
sia?
