DEATH OF A DICTATOR
Stalin is dead. One of the most
ruthless and heartless dictators
of all time has gone on to his re
ward (whatever that may be).
Few outside of Russia will mourn
his passing. No human should
exult in the death of another;
yet, Stalin’s passing has some
how brought a sense of relief to
free peoples everywhere. What
ever the turn of events in Russia,
there is nonetheless, the fervent
hope among the free nations and
those struggling for freedom that
his death may bring such a
struggle for power to Russia,
that the cold war will be relaxed,
and that underground opposition
not only in Russia, but in the
satelite countries may be en.our
aged to open revolt. Even if this
does not occur, and even if
Malenkov has won his fight for
the place of power formerly oc
cupied by Stalin, the change may
mean a respite in the cold war
while Malenkov consolidates his
power.
If Malenkov is Stalin’s succes
sor, it will be an evil thing for
the world; for Stalin was at least
cautious and a believer in Len
in’s philosophy that actual war
fare would not be necessary and
that the capitalist nations would
fall because of what Karl Marx
and his followers, including
Lenin, believed to be inherent in
the capitalist system—the seeds
of its own destruction.
Malenkov, on the other hand,
is a disciple of Ghengis Khan,
Cruelty, aggressive warfare,
ruthless enslavement of peoples,
murder and rapine may mark his
reign of power. Such a reign of
terror in Russia might bring us
nearer than ever to World War
111. No one knows what lies
ahead for the free world; but
this we can be sure of, that such
cruelty and oppression cannot

The Atlanta Clearing House Association has contributed SIO,OOO for the construction of a cottage at the State 4-H Club
Center. This is the 11th contribution sufficient to build one of the cottages and reduces to seven the number of similar gifts
needed to name all 18 buildings in the first 300-capacity unit. W. A. Sutton, state 4-H Club leader and secretary of the
4-H Foundation, second from left, accepts the contribution from the Clearing House Association from Marshall B Hall, presi

Moral and Ethical Forces
in a Moral Universe
Previously, I have expressed in
my reports to you, my deep con
viction that this is a moral uni
verse in which we live. This con
viction is responsible for my
faith that moral, ethical and
spiritual forces will prevail in
our struggle against godless
Communism. As Adlai Stevenson
said recently. Communism knows
no god and brings no comfort to
the human heart. If my faith in
a moral universe is well-found
ed, then unmoral and immoral
means to an end can never bring
permanent success to an indi
vidual or to a nation. This faith
that a godless Russia will never
enslave the free world because of
the moral nature of things as
they are, brings me back to a
previous report I made to you on
the agreements made at Yalta,
Potsdam and Teheran.
Harriman and Bohlen Defend
Agreements With Russia
Since my report to you on the
question of repudiating the so
called secret agreements made
by Roosevelt and Churchill with
Stalin at Potsdam and Yalta, two
men who were present at these
conferences and who knew just
what took place and the reasons
for these agreements, have de
fended these agreements before
Senate Committes. Mr. Harri
man who was at one time. Am
bassador to Russia and recently
Mutual Security Administrator,
has defended these agreements
as has Chip Bohlen, the newly
appointed Ambassador to Rus
sia. It took courage for Bohlen
to defend these agreements in
his testimony before the commit
tee that had the power to con
firm him as Ambassador to Rus
sia or to deny such confirmation.
He admits that two mistakes
were made at Yalta, but the
agreements in the ma.n, were
sound and dictated by what
seemed the necessities of the
situation at the time. One mis
take he names Is that our mili
tary people misjudged the wan
ing strength of the Japanese
military forces and urged upon
the President the necessity for
bringing Russia into the war
against Japan. Our hindsight

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
lets us see clearly now that
Japan was on the verge of col
lapse and Russia’s help was not
necessary. The other mistake
Bohlen claims that our leaders
made at Yalta was that China
was not at the time consulted
about the agreements affecting
her, although Mr. Soong, the
Chinese Foreign Minister later
endorsed the agreements affect
ing China.
Mr. Harriman, in his testi
mony, explained that Chma was
not brought into the conference
because of the shifting political
situation then existing in China
and the impossibility of keeping
secret any agreements made
with the representatives of Na
tionalist China at that time.
It is apparent from this cou
rageous testimony of both Harri
man and Bohlen, that Roosevelt
and Churchill did not err too
badly in their agreements with
Stalin, in the light of conditions
known to exist at that time and
in the light of the reciprocal
promises made by Stalin which
if kept, would have assured free
elections in the countries of east
ern Europe and the integrity of
the Chinese Nationalists as the
rulers of China. Nonetheless,
these agreements are to be con
demned upon moral grounds in
that in offering certain advan
tages to Stalin we were insisting
that he break a solemn agree
ment in the form of a non-ag
gression pact that Russia has
made with Japan. In the light of
our insistance upon this unmoral
violation of a treaty, how can we
shout too loudly because Rus
sia has violated conditions of
treaties made with us? The ends
we sought were good—that is.
the downfall of Japan without
the undue sacrifice of the lives of
American boys; but the means
we used to accomplish this
worthy end cannot be condemn
ed in a moral universe.
