We will occupy the position that Great Brit- ain held for many centuries in Europe have banded together occasionally to counteract lawlessness. It has happened in Key West several times during its more than a century of history. Out West, particularly in the San Francisco area, Vigilantes were organized te run down thugs when the West began to grow rapidly, following the gold rush of 100 years ago. Let as suppose that a group in Key West organize to help law-enforcement officers to trap burglars or any other type of lawbreakers. Let us suppose further thatsome man complained about the or- ganization of the group on the ground that it was directed against him. What conclus- jon would one draw in regarding sugh a man. Only one conclusion—that he was a law-breaker or a potential law-breaker. The attitude of that man is similar to the attitude assumed by Russia teward the organization of the North Atlantic -Al- liance. The only purpose for the forming | ™ gression. If Russia has no intention of be- coming an aggressor nation, what sound ehjection could she entertain against the alliance? If she is freedom-loving, ‘as she @eelares to be; if she is determined to re- spect the rights of other nations, particu- larly small ones, Russia has no sound rea- son whatever to fear the pact, for it is @irected only at aggressors. Bot Russia’s bitter complaints against the alliance puts her in the same class as @ man who would object to organizing a @toup to help apprehend law-breakers. Pact is, Russia’s complaint is a confession that she is surreptitiously awaiting a chance to extend her power at the expense of other nations. is Selfishness-is synonimous with anti- religion. Democracy becomes a failure when it does not have the unbaised support of its people. THE WORLD SITUATION In Burope and Asia, the military forces of the Soviet Union constitute a dominant power, at present unbalanced by any group of nations. ...-- In the world at large, the strength. of the United States is dominant, outside of the land areas of Europe and Asia, and the possessions of the atomic bomb makes this country almost irrestible in warfare for a limited period of years. The impassee in Europe constitutes something of a deadlock between Eastern and Western Europe, which could be broken, no doubt, by the use of Soviet force. That Russia does not attempt to solve these problems by force, as she did in Eastern Europe, is due entirely to our Possession of the atomic bomb, in the opinion of Mr. Winston Churchill, who is aman with great knowledge of world af- fairs. The burden ofthe United States in international affairs will be greatly light- ened, when the nations of Europe, outside the Communist, orbit, become strong enough to balance the preponderance of might that now belongs to Russia. When this happens, the United States, separated will position intelligently, the course of and if we use the we can largely determine world affairs. ———_——————_—_—__— courageous legislator who elem the lobbyists and the pressure groups.
