Ridgway illustrates how dangerous the threat emanating from the Kremlin really is today. The Paris crowds chanted a slogan: ‘‘Ridg- way, the microbe killer.” That this charge is a lie, and that the leaders in the Kremlin know it to be a lie, is beyond dispute, How- ever, the tactics used by the Communists are not ham- pered or compromised by the truth. This however, is not the discouraging part of the Paris demonstrations. The discouraging part is that millions of Frenchmen and other Western Europeans who should value their freedom are so easily led by complete falsehood. When the masters in the Kremlin can, by simple edict, call for sizable demonstrations in Paris or Rome, or in other Western European capitals, based on the lowest of fraudulent and untruthful charges, it is a sad day for the freedom-loving nations of the world. That people in Western European countries are ready- to kill and be killed, to overthrow their government and country, and destroy their heritage of freedom on or, * ders from Moscow, which are based on complete false- hood, is a major tragedy. That these people are 50 ignorant as not to challenge the Communist Party line is a major failing of democracies’ educational processes. The spectacle is indeed aomber one, and one which can only be eliminated from the world scene through a long period of education and progress. The Com- munists realize they can prevent this progress by con- tinually stirring discontent and war. Only through ade- quate preparedness can the Western democracies pre- vent another major war which would set back civiliza- The United States is attempting to help the mocracies of Western Europe grow strong enough to pre- vent another war and, at the same time, achieve social progress within their borders.

She calls her “Aunt Ida.” “She must have strong,” I said, ‘‘as a person,” “She was,” Mrs. Etherington said. “Of them all, Aunt Ida was the most vivid, the dominant one. Of course, you wouldn't think it to look at her.” In the photographs of her as a young woman, her chin is small and pointed. There is a firmness about her mouth, and yet the faint- est shadow of a smile, too. Her hair is thick and it looks dark in the picture.
