As a footnote to the presumed Intelligence to tip off the Korean invasion, a dispatch from Washington indicating that an in- agerncies may be ordered This means that tne Central Intelligence vestigation of the espionage top one. may take the rap The story # based ih the presumption that the CIA was in. possession of bits of information which, if assembled and appraised, would have given warn- ing of the impending attack. Another interpretation of the {ailwand the more likely one—is that it occurred i the field: That our agents in North Korea, ther caught off base or could not get if any, were their information through in time. General Bradley and the Secretary of Defense, who had just returned from General MacArthur's head- quarters in Tokyo, been so completely prise a few hours after their return to Washington?

Howeber, the boyt! bl our ‘geuer- ation are a lot more sophisticated than we, “And the country has now seen g-a great wars._in quick succession, followed by a cold war which hgs broken out in a bloody, disastrd feat in Korea. So all the gl mor. u\g novelty, the ex- citeme aye worn off, and in a way I Hom't particularly blame the American’lieutenant in Korea wno said: “I never saw such a useless damned war in all my life.” I can well understand how this war, fought 8,000 miles away in a strange land, in the defense 4of strange people, and against trem- endous odds, can be considered useless, Yet, I don’'t think I'm a Pollyanna when I say that the year 1950 may go down in history just because of the Korean war— because it may stop war in the future and lead to a new era of world unity- and. peace. There aré some people ahmnd who call us “Uncle Sap.” And there are some people here at home, like the Chicago Tribune crowd, who call us that, too; say we are impractical fools to be giv- ing our money, our food, our steel and now our life blood away to other people: But there .was a man named Jesus Christ© who, in- effect, was also called Oncle Sap. He, too, was branded an impractical vis- ionary; yet his teachings have formed a goal toward which man- kind has been struggling ever sinc And I don't think I'm too optimi tic when I say that our country, with the Marshall plan and all the other help we have given our neigh- bors, may have come nearer a practical fulfillment of the sermon on the mount, by one nation among other nations, than at any time since Christ taught that great doc- trine 2,000 years ago. U. S. Reaches Peak As you know, I am considered quite a critical newspaperman. I do not hesitate to point out the faul's of our government and our country But, despite all these faults, I very deeply feel that our country has just about reached the peak of idealism and unselfishness and power for good ever before seen in the world. We have reached it, lose it Great a empires have come and gone in the past. They have fallen because they got too soft or ass or too powerful; because they their power for materialisti conquest and based it on might. They put selfishness ahe: of idealism and they fell. We can do that, too. In fact some of us were beginning to think more about our stomachs, our div- idends, wages and prices, how many automobiles we had or our neighbors had—than we did about the problem of peace, And it was not entirely ing that ‘Lieut. Donald surpris- but we can’ too | armed | when captured m“ of Philadelphia, newsmen | Korea, told Communist that he enlisted in the Air Force because he “got paid and would like to build a cottage in Philadel- phia.” So perhaps some Korea. We needed it from getting too soft, too materialistic. But, above all, we needed it to set an example of world unity acelghean fBELELeSSOTw of us needed | to keep us too selfish, fust approaching military age must remember is that the Korean de- sision had to come sooner or later. A nation cannot live alongside an- other nation which constantly threatens war. And a free world cannot exist with one nation bully- ing, arming, threatening to invade any people who do heir political creed. In a way, what we—especially you—are assuming is the free man’s burden—the obligation of free men to keep the world free. There was a time when we could 70 our own way in this country protected by two oceans, and not; worry about the rest of the world But that day—thanks to the atom bomb and long-range airplanes is over; so what happens in one part of the world, like a contagious, iisease, affects us here. That is partcularly true of free- dom, This has got to be a free world. And I don't think one free live as an island surro polica-state na not bow to ition nded ions. § can by nonfree, {all armed to the teeth. So, since this clash of free na- tions and the poliee-state natiohs was inescapable, iteis better to get it over with and in such a way hat we can build a new inter- national police force, unhampered by vetoes, which will guarantee lasting peace. Stopping War Seeds Mayke you remember my telling ou about some of the international conferences I have covered as newspaperman where I could liter- illy see the seeds of war planted— see them with my own eyes, and watch them grow and incubate, with the rest of the world watch- ng, too, but powerless to stop the mpending crisis. Well, this time we have not been powerless crisis and we moved to avert it, and the other "boys approaching military age to remember this; also to remember that no country in the world today has our unselfish- ness, our courage, our idealism. And we've got to keep it that ws So this Korean war, distant a it is, tough as it is, unwelcome as may be the .great turning in the year 1950—midway through the century—when we can establish a world police force and a world authority to put down all i in the future.
