WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN s charges for refusing gts Committee the names of persons who contributed large 8 5 ibution of books and literature publis ed by his organization. The defense was based around the “allegation that Dr. Rumely was protected e freedom-of-the-press guarantee in the Bil of Rights. He contended, in con- nection with the charges, that Congress ~had no right to the information and that to-compel him to reveal the names of the financial angels behind his activity would violate the freedom of the press. This contention is absurd. Newspapers “throughout the ‘nation are required to publish the names of their owners. So far as we know, no responsible newspaper pretends that this interferes with its free- dom to print the news orto express its editorial opinion. The truth is that newspapers, when ++ their owners are. unknown, can be fSed for improper purposes without the knowl- edge of those who read them. The high sounding title of Dr. Rumely’s organiza- * tidh gives somé prestige to its distribution of various books. and pamphlets upon public. affairs. . ‘To! require him to give the names of persons who contributed large sums for their’ publication and distribution would __not, in any sense, infringe on the right of his s-organization to publish and distribute te propaganda. TTR ONE Te TOUTES TIT TTI Aaa * ACCEPT WITH RESERVE From Formosa, via the Chinese Na- tionalists news agency, comes the charge that at least three million persons in two South China provinces have been execut- ed by the Communists. j Moreover, the Nationalists agency says that the purge is part of a Commun- ist plan to exterminate 200,000,000 of China’s 450,000,000 population at the in- stigation of Moscow. While there is no doubt of repressive measures in large areas of China, one finds it difficult to ac- cept the-tetals that come from Nationalist sources. It is somewhat difficult to believe that the Com have any idea of killing nearly hi Chinese now living in that country. ‘ The news ite gives us an excellent reason for doubtii e of the dispatch- es we read. Despité-the admitted purge of thousands, some of {thé British in Hong- kong doubt that the Reds are having se- rious internal difficulties. Certainly, if four out of every nine living Chinese citi- zens.ave marked for slaughter the Chi- nese Reds ¢an expéct to run into trouble. Consequently, until more evidence comes along, it would be just as well to take the news with a lot of caution. : ceaetrvavarestrtcarhaterreaseee “The world situation, judging from j Texas, points out yo "DEMANDS SECURITY In warning chgrese that prolonginty delay in affirming the dispatch of A'mer- | ican troops to Burope would be, “in our motal peril,” that the argument of thoseywho seek to restrict such military assistance is based upon the assumption “This Rock Of Ours’ Senator Tom Connally, of By BILL GIBB Child’s Life Saved By Ben Gleason, Visitor Here The unideniified man saved the life of who two-year-old that, our efforts are for the purpose of Barry Greene yesterday was BEN “helping other people and not for helping ourselves.”* Mr, Connally points out that “we do not seek to defend “Western Europ2 for moral reasons primarily” but ‘because American security demands that Western Europe remains free of Communist con- trol.” This is an idea that should be under- | stood by every American in connection with the disctission of our commitments to Europe. Certainly, the should not Send men,’ships or planes to any nation unless the dispatch of the fighting forte is vital to the safety and so- curity of the United States. Following the second World War, this country has, by treaties properly ratified, endorsed the idea that “the fate of \ the United States is bound up, to a large ex- tent, withthe freedom and _ economic strength of Western Europe. Marshall Plan, we have extended billions of dollars to assist the free peoples to re- cuperate from the devastation of the last | % struggle. The main idea, as nearly as we can judge, was to make them able to de- fend themselves. and thus to prevent the Russians from overrunning the continent and acquiring vast productive and economic strength. In regard to the question of sending troops to Europe, we will have to rely up- | on the judgment of military experts as to | how this can be accomplished. Recently, the Seeretaties of the Army, Navy and Air Force agreed that the defense of Eu- rope is essential to the United States and that it cannot be accomplished without American ground forces. As Secretary Thomas K. Finletter, of the Air Force, said: “When you defend a land area, the brunt of the battle has to be carried by the ground forces.” The trouble with getting ahead in life is staying ahead. CHICAGO AND DETROIT AS “POWDER KEGS” “Segregation is too often identified with the South,” says a pamphlet recently published bp the New York State Com- mittee on Discrimination in Housing, which continues to assert that “many Northern cities enforce housing segrega- tion more rigorously than the South does.” Admitting that virtually all cities se- gregate Negroes as to residence, the report lists Chicago and Detroit as bad examples, calling them “powder kegs,”’ of racial an- tagonism. In fact, the author of the sur- vey declares that “no large city is doing more than Chicago to keep the Negro in segregated neighborhoods” and that ir Detroit “the race question is an acknowl- edged public issue” where a trifling spark could touch off “wholesale murder.” In fact, the report says that “public housing is solidly Jim Crow in Detroit.” Looking. to other areas, the authors assert that ‘effective segregation against Negroes in almost all phases of daily life is found in Springfield, Illinois, the home- town. of Abraham Lincoln and Charlottes- ville, Virginia, where Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia. People do not exist for the benefit of institutions; it’s the. other way around. TRIMS “VOICE OF AMERICA” e “Voice of America,” hailed by many’as the effort of the United States to counteract the “big lie” of the Communists with the truth, broadcasts throughout Eu- ropean regions ran into difficulties when sits appropriation came ‘before the House of Representatives. The members of the lower House, by an unrecovered voice vote, slashed the $97,500,000 oret t’by the State e parte ment to $9,588,030. ‘The sentiment scem- ed to be that the management of the in- formation programs ‘was ‘poor and the planning vague. ” It-is very difficult for average persons to pass on the value of such broadcasts. It is possible, of course, that propaganda of great vallie e gets through the iron cur- tain and that accurate news stories -he the cause of the free hations. Tt is se our present tax-structure, is not isolated, i Possible that no such results are obtained. Under the | | good food, United States , GLEASON, of Chicago, II.
