We repeat, it is PREPAREDNESS the face of such a movement. This may be oversimplication of our present world problem; we tend to the fear that it is. However, we risk little and might gain much through a more emphatic statement of our goal of a world completely at peace. The only thing we need fear is that type of “peace movement” which is aimed only at weak- ening this nation and throwing it off guard -against the unpredictable moves of Red imperialism. That, alas, is the form most peace movements take. 1 1 ! “A 10-year-old boy could run the world better than ! the New York newspaper points put, even the most | superficial student of Soviet-American relations Kknows | danger may be more real than we think, if talk about | It suggests that history-conscious Rus-, iployed by the components of the!

Finally, it is important to note that the newspaper chain which has been constantly and per: ently demanding a probe of the Amerasia case—The Scripps-How- ard papers—is being sued for libel by Mark Gayn of the Chicago Sun, one of those originally involved in the Amerasia case. With this ##ékgfoind in mind, here is Bielaski’s closed-door testi- mony before the Tydings subcom- mittee. First, he described his il- legal raid on the Amerasia Mag- azine offices, told how he broke in- to the library and saw the table covered with documents. “This is something I have never repeated in public or anywhere, but which I think must be told here,” Bielaski confided. “An en- velope in the middle of the table was there, and written across the top of it catercornered was the name John Hersey.” “John . . . .?” inquired Tydings, who has been having trouble hear- ing with his right ear. “H-e-r-s-e-y,” Bielaski spelled the name out. “It was not an envelope to my mind that was addressed to him, but as you might write your name on an envelope belonging to you,” continued Bielaski. The ex-OSS agent estimated that the “Hersey envelopz” contained 12 to 15 documents. No Amerasia Connection “Did your investigation show that Hersey was connected in any way with the (Amerasia) magazine?” inquired Tydings. “No sir,” Bielaski admitted. “Or that he contributed to the magazine?” pressed the Maryland senator. “No sir, not a thing that showed he had any connection with the magazine at all except for docu- ments in the envelope with his name on it,” repeated Bielaski. The private detective also backed down when Tydings asked him for information on the “disloyalty of persons in the State Department.” “Well, as to that,” hedged Biel- aski, “I have no firsthand knowl- edge of disloyalty of persons in the State Department in connection with the Amerasia case.” It was also pointed out that the Justice Department couldn’t pros- ecute the Amerasia case, because Biclaski seized the documents ille- gally. This led to a clash between Republican Senator Lodge of Mass- achusetts and Democratic Senator McMahon of Connecticut. Illegal Entry Lodge brought it up by asking Bielaski: “Under what authority did you conduct the raid on the Amerasia office?” “I didp't ask for authority at the moment, Senator,” confessed Biel- aski. “But since, T have thought over the legal position, and I un- derstand that the SS was created by executive order (which) provided that it should take care of its own security.” ‘This appeared to be a weak ex- . cuse and Lodge tried to be more helpful. “Did ‘you realize that in wars in the past the normal safeguards and habeas Communists, and (rarian Reformers” in Communists. And should the Huks, with Russian aid and using Amer- jcan arms and munitions which they stole from American dumps and warehouses, take over, it will not be possible for the State De- partment to blame it on Chiang Kai-Shek.

Somebody in the Administration might say: “It's just a leak, It amounts to nothing.” It amounts to enough for the Huks to use in a full-fledged revolution. The Phillippines came into the possession of the United States after the Spanish-American War in 1898. General Arthur Mac- Arthur, the father of Douglas Mac- Arthur, sought to develop the is- lands politically and economically into a self-governing country. That idea proved unpopular in Wash- ington and he was recalled to the United States. A Philippines independence movement developed which had a radical side led by Emilio Aguin- aldo and- a liberal side led by Manuel Quezon.. Aguinaldo actu- ally tried insurrection and was de- feated. Quezon worked along with the American governors-general. The United States sent some good men to the Philippines, the most distinguished of whom was William Howard Taft, afterwards President oeen followed, it would be impos- sible to protect ourselves,” retorted Lodge. “Let's get this straight,” snapped McMahon. “This case is now ur against a legal proposition—in other words, the question of whether or not you can use the evidence that it is illegally obtained.” “You can™ use it,” admitted Biel- aski, “Of course, there can be no doubt about that,” snorted the senator from Connecticut. “You cannot sustain any conviction based upon evidence that was obtained or seized contrary to the Constitution No President or anybody else has got the right to suspend the Con- stitution.” “You know as well as I do that the Constitution has been set aside by Presidents,” shot back Lodgé. “No,” snapped McMahon. “President Lincoln set it ted Lodge.

The importance of the Philippines to us is that they constitute the southern sector of the Japan-OKi-| nawa-Philippines line, which is our first line of defense against Soviet Russia in the Pacific. If we can- not hold that line, our West Coast becomes the first line of defense. If the Philippines go to Russia,| MacArthur's position in Japan, al- ready imperiled by our failure in! China, will become untenable. There is no use waiting until the hammer and sickle fly over Manila. The time to act is now. By treaty, this country has guar- anteed the independence of the; Philippines. The time to make that guarantee good is now and the way to do it is to place the Philip- pines under American control until the danger is over. REGISTRATION FOR GIRL SCOUT CAMP DUE BEFORE JUNE 1 Girl Scout Eagle River Camp registration should be completed by June 1 at the Tot-To-Teen shop, Mrs. Morton Flint, camp chairman, advised today. If possible, the girls should have about $1 a week extra for handicrafts and spending mon- ey at the canteen. Camp dates are from June 19 to July 3. Day camp registration should also be made at the Tot-To-Teen shop with the deadline the first week in June, This outdoor schedule for the Brownies will be held July 6, 7 and 8; and 10, 11, 12. Ed Nielson, another member of the camp committee urges fathers and other public spirited men to turn out Sunday, June 18, the day before the Eagle River Camp gets under way, to help get the place in shape for the arrival of the girls. Ed figures that the fact that this particular Sunday is Fathers’ Day should be an added spur to these‘ parents to do a good turn rather| than sit back and be pampered. corpus, and as a matter of fact no President of the United States "‘_‘,‘}:‘e ';f;]‘_"“i S“‘"‘T g | Btore your furs with Obarles Gold- | Can: hes asids \the Consulutmnl e ipinos talked loud for stein and Companv.
