Community Auditorium. \ i coe oe THE CiVILIZED ARE HANDICAPPED In the constant cloak and dagger warfare between | the democracies and Communist countries, the democra- cies are repeatedly handicapped because of the higher standards o: decency to which democratic governments must adhere. For instance, democratic governments do not organize assassination parties, to rid this or that na- tion of an opposition leadcr, nor do they execute without | proper trial persons accused of spying for potential ene- my countries. | The latest example of this disadvantage came when Rumania executed four Rumanians, convicted by a mili- tary court of spying for the United States. A fifth man, similarly accused, killed himself by swallowing a poison | capsule, according to the announcement from Bucharest. The Rumanian Government charged that the five parachuted into a mountain area of Rumania on Octobei 18th. Contrary to the situation between World War I and World War II, the United States today does remain a spy- ing organization and it is always possible—in such cases —-that some of our spies were involved. Because the Unit- ed States does ‘not execute enemy spies with similar dis., patch, spying in this country is a more tempting assign- | ment than spying in the East. | The Communists exploit the same uncivilized ad- vantage against political opposition in various countries, | more recently in the Middle Rast, By brutally murdering | the leaders of democratic parties, while the democracies | refuse to adopt such tactics, the Communists have been able to intimidate large segments of the population in various countries. This policy has led to some of the cur- vent trouble in the Middle East, and is being continued by the Communists. Of course, the people of the United States and of oth- er democratic countries will not tolerate similar action on the part of the democracies, It is nonetheless true that | ruthless action has given the Communists the upperhand } in several areas of the world in the last five years and it might be wise for the democratic nations to organize | some sort of secret counter-terrorist organization. ee The best ideas germinate in honest, idealistic minds, and are not the result of self-seeking thoughts. Too many people go around saying it’s better to give than to receive but never find time to try out the | s¥atem. Who can remember when doubleheader ice cream | cones were five cents? And when you didn’t have five cents to buy one? SLICE OF HAM OFFIC ERS ST EXCHANGE 4nti lice Leader.
