Also of Furthermore, usually The stock- are people of at the meg tony thee Who DEO The Citizen thinks that Americans agree Clay issued the order to begin vittles," the. world gener- ally thought his task was insuperable. As for the Russian ledders, they thought the airlift would last only a few weeks. But General Clay surprised the world, the Russians particularly. And it is he who says: “The United States is stronger than Russia. I am heartily in accord with the purposes of the Atlantic Pact. The Pact, along with other moves of the United States during the last two years, has completely stopped the expansion af Communism in Europe. Communism is now on the defensive. The United States is not only stronger than Russia in Germany but also in the whole world.” Another thing he said, has been known for generations: “Germans hate the Russians with a bitter hatred.” That hatred goes back for cen- turies and is tenser now than it has ever been before because of the millions of Germans who have been subjected to slave labor by the Russians. So it is foolish to think that German scientists, in the event of war between Russia and the United States, would help Russia to win, for they gre keenly aware that a more powerful Russia would mean the further sub- jugation of Germany. But we don't want to relax while the Russ- ian Bear is stil] stalling, still burning with re- sentment over the frustration of its schemes to dominate the world. In that regard, General Clay sounds this warning: “Definitely, America should keep its pow- der dry and be ready.” A legal proposition is something which no two lawyers understand the same way. A nation, like an individual, must be will- ing to stand or fall upon vital principles. Education, like vaccination of the individ- ual, is a good thing, provided it “takes.” Advertising in The Citizen, we repeat, is the cheapest salesman a business can employ. THE “VENERABLE LOKANATHA” Alert newspaper reporters tell us that among the passengers on the White Star liner Queen Mary, when it left New York not long ago, was a yellow-robed Buddhist monk, who described himself as the “Venerable Lokanatha.” The newspapers, of course, did not take the mon.. very seriously, but, nevertheless, he said he was returning to Burma and Tibet after eighteen months in the United States and that he would report to his superiors that the Amer- ican people are “ripe for conversion to Bud- dhism.” Such a report, we submit, is about as near the truth as some of the revelations that come from Moscow when Communists explain what is happening in the United States. Never- theless, we poke no fun at the Vnerable Lokanatha" and wish him a safe voyage back to his home parish, wherever it may be situat- ed in Burma and Tibet. Believing in the freedom of the individual to embrace any religion that happens to touch his conscience, we point out that there is no danger that the presence of a few Buddhist monks in this country will be followed by im- perialistic demands from Burma and Tibet. The absence of such demands does not imply that the Buddhists behave better than sorne Chris- tain nations in their relations with other peoples but simply that Burma and Tibet do nat possess the force necessary to make their views press- ing or dangerous. SOME SIGNIFICANCE A fact of some significance, in connection with the possibility of a real depression, is the $175,000,000,000 which the American people hold in savings and bank deposits. The figures come from Earl R. Muir, of the American Bankers Association, who gave them to a Senate Committee, with the statement that he seea no danger of an economic collapse.
