Benton's Final Triumph Benton also had a tough time with certain Congressmen, especial- lly penny-pinching John Taber of New York, who cut the heart out of his appropriations. It is interesting to note, however, that Congress later came round to the realization that Benton'’s propaganda program was one of the most important things the State Department was doing. In fact, most of the things Benton crusaded for have now re- ceived full recognition. Despite this, General cn becoming Secretary of State, asked for Benton’s resignation, and the tough-talking former advertis- ing executive retired to Connecticut where he kept busy with the En- cyclopedia Britannica, owns, and Muzak, the company which pipes music into hotels and restaurants all over the United States. If Goverror Bowles carries out his present intention of appointing his close friend to the Senate, Ben- ton will now vote on the appropria- tions of Staté Department officials ‘who:once ‘conspired to fire him. However, Benton bears no grudges. and when the Democratic Party was having a tough time raising money in 1948, he came through with a contribution for. the Presi- dent who once eased him out of Washington. Marshall, Thanksgiving Idea The Mormon Church adopted a Thanksgiving Day idea which larg- er church groups, or even those af- filiated with no church, might want to adopt. The Mormons went without one! full meal at this time of the year| and donated the amount they would spend for that meal to some- cne who couldn't afford a Thanks- giving dinner. In many cases they gave the money to the community chest., Behind this Mormon gesture is pot only the idea of helping one’s fellow man, but also the idea that the hupnger pangs of one who goes without a meal makes him think a little more about the sufferings of olg.rs ¥rhaps in Washington, where the people of the the wealthiest and most powerful natiop in the world have n able to fill their community - quota, it might be a good ldl':‘. to take leaf from the Mormon’s D C, a book. If everyone gave up one meal | during the week and contributed the equivalent to the community chest, the barometer of community generosity would shoot up to near the boiling point Amateur Diplomats Most people have the idea diplomacy is something to be to those trained in foreign lang- uages, international problems, and the niceties of the social salon But 24 negroes from Howard Uni- versity have just done a great that left thing for their country by touring § if the great bulk of industriai corporations |, which hej home. strongly with her rogressive Step We ..y ahout the w trend foward re- N 62 Very dangerou: insically it is cer- All of us want security after “The average finished.

In 1925, he joined the United States Foreign Service, his} first post being Mukden. Thence, he served in Tientsin, Moscow, Vladi- vostok, and Teheran. In 1946, he was appointed Consul-General in Mukden, Manchuria. Anyone familiar with our Foreign Service knows that these men in the field are a hard-working, com- petent lot. A man holding such posts as Angus Ward has held will have a working knowlédge of the Chinese and Russian languages, the history of the countries, the habits and activities of the people. He will have conditioned himself to work, | in his country’s interest, with ali sorts of people. In such places as hiukden, Tient- ' sin, and Vladivostok, he would live jamong Chinese, Japanése, Russians, | Mongols, and Koreans, to say n~t:x-j ing of Europeans.

Robeson, traveling through Scan-; dinavia a few months before, had told how American Negroes were downtrodden, lynched, and under- nourished. Many believed him Therefore, when the Howard Univ- ersity students arrived, they played to full houses, many in the audience curios to see just what kind of cul- ture could come from the American Negro. The result was enthus iclaim from Oslo dramatic critics.

SOKOLSKY ANGUS WARD On Mary 31, the Siate Depart-! ment notified Angus Ward, the Ams | erican Consul-General in Mukden, to close up shop and come home the Russians would not permit: him or his wife or any of the other of- ificers of the consulate to leave. On June 23, Angus Ward managed to notify the State Department that he had made contact with a Com- missar of Red China. On October 24, it was anncunced by Soyiat China over the radio that the'Am- erican Consul-General, Angus Ward, had been arrested for slapping: a Chinese, a former employee of the American consulate. The charge of slapping does not sound real. After all, Angus Ward is 56 years old. He has a long and important career in the service of our government since he weht to war in 1917. #He has been in China, on and off, since 1925. He knows the customs of that country and the habits of the Chinese. It is not likely that such a man would slap a Chinese, except in - self-defense or to protect his wife or to keep a swine from spitting on our flag. It had to be a dire provocation, if it happened at all. For look aL tlrus man’s cdreer: He was born in Canada but lived as a youth in Chassel, Michigan He joined up when we went into World War I, serving as a First Lieutenant, 1917-19. He then be- came attached to the American Re- lief Administration in Finland and Russia under Herbert Hoover. When ymal environment and atmosphere— and little of it is normal. I was in | both Mukden and Tientsin at the | Jstarl of Ward’s career in thosé cit- ies. He must be good to have come | through to a Consul- c.enemlsmp‘ in Mukden. Such a man does not| slap a servant—and he does not betray his country’s honor or dig-| nity. A consular officer is usually an administrative and commercial rath- er than a diplomatic official. But in countries like China, where areas are distant from the national cap- ital, or where there is constant icivil war and revolution, Ilar officer takes on the functions | iand immunities-of a diplomat. He | is entitled to the respect of person | and-under no circumstances may a | government invade his premises and | seize the files. The suggestion that our Stata| Department appeal to Soviet Rus- jsia for aid in freeing Angus Ward | was undignified. Have we sunk 1low; andoned; have we become so cow- ardly that we expose our weakness? « I would say, from my experiences i China, that Ward was seized by the Chinese Communists, upon m- stmctmns from their Russian ln’lSL-n €rs to prove to the Chinese peophe’ that the United States is less than nothing. For Russia to rescue Ward would further reduce our national prestige and dignity There is only one solution: Let General MacArthur go int6 Mukden to bring Angus Ward and his wife | out alive—or dead. (Since the above was written, a radio broadcast says Ward has been released.)
