Britain, France Faced Crisis Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall! EDITORIAAS- By George E. Sokolsky gfeS-sjHflt 1 1 'I in i i niiili Hi'irei. 5. Absolute control of the Suer Canal; 6. Elimination of the West from Arabian oil fields.

The West includes the United States. It is the American assumption that Nasser can be destroyed by economic pressures. It is the British and French assumption that he cannot be. If the British and French are, correct, it would be too late to prove that the Ameri-cans are incorrect, because by that time, 'Nasser would be so strong that nothing could budge him. Therefore the British and the French acted before action became futile.

Their objectives are: 1. To prevent the Soviet Uni-versal State from expanding into Arabic countries until at least Egypt and possibly some other Arabian countries became part of the Soviet bloc; 2. To safeguard Middle Eastern oil upon which Western Europe has become dependent; 3. To preserve the Suez Canal for the use of all nations in accordance with the 1888 convention; 4. To preserve Israel as a na-tion in accordance with the decision of the United Nations establishing that country.

This program undoubtedly the United States supports; the quarrel is over method. The method employed before Israel, Great Brit, ain and France hit out at Nasser only strengthened that imitator ot a 5 fluoridation during the first nine months of 1955, and U. S. P. H.

S. predicts that this rate of increase in the number of users will be maintained. Many of the nations largest cities Chicago, Philadelphia, Washingtoi, San Francisco, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, for example are now fluoriating their water supplies. The time seems not far off when this will be the general thing. And as a result, the threat of tooth decay will be greatly reduced for much of the population.

Dolls To Lend The library in an Ohio town has a new idea for attracting very young ladies. A number of dolls have been made available, and little girls can come to the library and borrow them. Later the borrowers will also be able to get changes of clothes for their toy playmates. The idea is a sound one. It will add variety to the play activity of the little ladies who use the service.

At the same time it will create in their minds a pleasant association with the library. When they go to pick up their dolls they will see displays of books, they will become aware of the, wonderful things that a library offers. It is always worthwhile to encourage children to read books and make use of libraries. We hear, a great deal these days about the bad effects of some television programs and comic books on young people. The most positive thing we can do to combat these bad influences is to introduce good influences.

A child who visits a library will soon be able to make intelligent judgments, to realize the difference between a really exciting book and a worthless, badly written comic book. Do Your Part -The tumult and the shouting of this 1966 political campaign are almost over now. Presumably, almost every man and woman of voting age has decided hdw to vote on at least the main issues aild candidates. there is a step beyond deciding, however. First one decides; then one must vote in order to make that decision felt.

Some of our readers may wince as they recognize another variation on that oft-repeated theme; Vote as you please-but vote! Nevertheless, we think it is important that this be said once again as election day nears. The democratic process which is the basis of our life of dignity and freedom depends on the full participation of a great majority of the electorate. Voting is a privilege. It also is a duty. In going to the polls, the citizen reaffirms and strengthens democracy.

So do your part! Sins Against Society Two men were duck hunting at opposite sides of a pond. The hunting was good. Both men soon got their limits. One man called in his dog, packed his gear and took off for home, satisfied with the day's sport. The other man kept on shooting, though he knew that he had all the ducks the law allows.

As they came streaking in he knocked them down and left them where they fell. When he finally tired of the sport he.too, went home. Six were left floating among the reeds. The hunter was too smart to take them, not wanting a game warden to find illegal birds in his possession. Two families were picnicking on a pleasant grassy spot.

After a happy afternoon, one family policed its area of the grounds and went home, leaving the gress still green and pleasant. The other family finally pulled out too, but it did no policing. In fact, as a last gesture it discarded wrappers and cans, paper plates and half-eaten food, leaving a trail from table to car. These two incidents the hunting and the picnicking may seem unrelated. But they are related, and closely.

The greedy hunter and the careless family both illustrate two anti-social traits waste, and desregard for the rights of others. They are traits to be fought, in ourselves and in others, if we are to preserve America as a worthy gift for the generations to come. What Great Britain and France faced as a result of the emergence of Nasser as the Egyptian Hitler States faced nothing more grave than the natonalzaton of Amer-can oil companies in Arabian countries. Soviet Russia faced the possibility of establishing itself in the Mediterranean. India faced the possiblity of increasing its scope as the leader of the Bandung na-tons.

It has been known since July when Nasser seized the Universal Suez Canal Company that Great Britain and France would have to do something specific and dramatic to save their place among nations. Under the pressure of Amer-can anti-colonialism, both were losing their place in the world, whereas Soviet Russia was emerging as the principal power on earth. Nasser had dedicated himself to the establishment of an Arabic em- pire with himself at its head and had formed an alliance with Soviet Russia. Did the West have to wait until Nasser had achieved his goal? Was Cairo to be another Munich? Was Eden to be a second Chamberlain? Durng the Suez Canal conferences, the British and the French followed John Foster Dulles' schemes for a Users' Association or to discover that what Dulles really meant was the development of a mechanism for further negotiations with Nasser, It is true that when their scheme was hatched to do by force what could no longer be achieved by talk, they did not only not consult their ally, the Unted States, but they gave the United States no in-' formation. But that is no reason why we should not have been informed.

After all. much bf what developed had to be overt and this country spends hundreds of millions on an espionage organizaton to get at covert information. However; the truth undoubtedly is, as the President said, that we knew nothing of the joint action of Israel, France and Great Britain Nasser. It is startling to discover that our principal allies. Great Britain and France, do not trust the government of the United States with their plans not only because their plans differ from ours but also-because they have found that somehow we always support the underdog even if he is as rabid as 'Nasser.

It is not easily forgotten that Holland lost her-East Indian empire. France, her North African empire, Great Britain, India and Suez because of American policies pursued since the time of Woodrow Wilson. We are not, for the moment, discussing What is right or wrong but that the United States has frightened these countries by a doctrinaire pacifism and a tendency to appease Soviet Russia. Nehru of India and now Nasser of Egypt. The United States had its fill in the Korean War and its attitude is naturally different from that of Great Britain and France.

Nevertheless, no one can or does question that these have been Nasser's objectives; 1. To establish an Arabic empire with himself at its head extending over the whole of North Africa and including Jordan, Syria and eventually Iraq and Saudi Arabia; 2. To eliminate all Western influences from Africa and Arabic Asia; 3. To exterminate Israel; 4. To maintain an alliance with Soviet russia aimed at the West; son have known all about this letter for years.

They are thoroughly versed in the bloody insurrection in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and. other industrial states which gave Reuther the power which he "now exerts in the interest of their party and his own revolutionary program to make "A Soviet About H-Bomb Test Activity Blitz From Alaska Some eminently worthwhile projects take a very long time to gain approval in Congress. Plans to complete the St. Lawrence Seaway, for example, were endorsed by every president from Wilson to Eisenhower but did not receive the Congressional nod until 1954. Another "Old Faithful" before Congress is the question of Alaskan statehood.

Alaskans have been trying for almost half a century to have their vast territory declared a state. Now there are indications that the next session of Congress will be subjected to a vertible blitz on. the subject. The people of Alaska began to prepare for this blitz early this year when the famous Tennessee plan for joining the Union was suggested to them. Tennessee acquired statehood by electing two "senators" and a "representative" and sending them to Washington with orders to heckle Congress into seating them and making Tennessee a state.

Six other territories later joined the Union by this method. Now Alaska has elected two "senators" and a "representative" to join its congressional delegate in pushing for statehood. The people of Alaska have worked hard for this. They deserve to be recognized. One Minute Pulpit And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God.

and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. John 17:3. Drew Pearson that President Eisenhower was seeking peace. Secretary of Defense Wilson, however, and Admiral Strauss, chairman of the Atmoic Energy Commission, were vigorously opposed. They warned that Russia might violate the agreement and test small bombs without our knowledge, though they admitted we should be able to detect large hydrogen bomb explosions.

In the final voting, Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey sided with Dulles and Stassen. The President himself concurred. As is customary, was finally made "unanimous," and it was agreed "in principle" to explore means of obtaining a ban on H-bomb tests. Details as to when the proposal should be made to Russia, what size weapons should be banned, and how the agreement should be enforced, were left to be worked out later. However, it was definitely decided to ask Russia to join in suspending of H-bomb tests fcr one year, as a sort of "peace experiment." This was to be coupled with a "moral agreement" to outlaw the intercontinental bal-(Continued, on Page 9.) Following this, the White House issued a categoric denial.

Reports that Eisenhower-advisers recommended a move to ban H-bomb tests, it was stated, are entirely wrong. The Facts However, careful checking with sources with intimate access to the information has convinced me that the following facts are correct. They have been denied. But I them on this extremely important subject as what I regard to be the truth. On Oct.

11, the National Security Council held an informal meeting at the While House. It was described later as an ad hoc meeting. Not all the members were present. At this meeting Secretary of State Dulles argued that a moratorium on H-bomb tests would win friends for us abroad. It would give us the diplomatic initiative and help convince the.

world that we are more peace-loving than Moscow. Harold Stassen, a specialist on disarmament, supported him. He felt that a ban on H-bomb tests would offer dramatic evidence WAaONGTON Here are the facts, as I have been able to check them, regarding reports that the National Security Council had agreed to enter negotiations with Russia for banning H-bomb tests but reversed that position after Adlai Stevenson proposed it. Information to this effect came to my attention about ten days ago. I knew it would be denied.

I didn't- write the story. At that time I was causing headaches to my editors by getting one rather well-publicized denial from the White House, and being human I wasn't anxious to get another. Several days later, Oct. 29, the New York Times published a cautious "report" that the National Security Council had decided to try to ban H-bomb tests prior to the Stevenson proposal. To see how the White House would react, Jim Hagerty's office was queried.

He was not in. His assistant, Murray Snyder, was. He refused to comment. Later, four Democratic senators specifically queried the White House, citing among other things a statement made by William Christian Science Monitor -reporter for the United Nations. Fluoridation Progress Despite a rising mountain of evidence that fluoridation of public water supplies is beneficial, progress has been slow.

The evidence is so conclusive that fluoridation as a means of curbing tooth decay has received the support of the most honored medical and dental groups, as well as that of the U. S. Health Service. Yet opposition, some of it sincere and well motivated but much of it merely ignorant and has held back this development. Now, happily, the tide seems to have turned.

The public Health Service reports that one-fourth of the people in this country using public water supplies have fluoridated water.

After 18 months in the "workers' fatherland" Vic and Wal came back and went straight to Detroit in the fall of 1935 where, as Matthews later wrote, they immediately went to work organizing the sitdown strikes, a Communist technique first tried in France under Premier Leon Blum. Eleanor Roosevelt, Senator Lehman, and of course Adlai Steven- although themselves supporting or preferring one candidate, predicted victory for the other candidate. The editors were asked to answer one question whether their own state was "cer-' tain" or "leaning" to Stevenson or Eisenhower. In aligning a "state, greater weight has been given here to the number of answers marked "certain," and when these were negligible in number, the trend based on the answers marked "leaning" was deemed the determining factor.

Here' is the latest elec-tion forecast as derived from a poll of editors of the newspapers of every state in the union conducted by letter and telegram in the last few days by this correspondent. 1. A landslide of electoral votes for President Eisenhower about 374 to 157. 2.

Reduced margins in many" states as compared with 1952, but the possibility of increased margins in a few states, because of strength being shown by Eisenhower in the cities. This pattern is noticeable in all sections of the country, including the south. 3. An increase in Ike margins in the cities due to women's votes and to a larger share of votes in labor-union families than four years ago. The total number of letters and telegrams sent out to daily newspapers only was 1,502.

From these 1.014 replies were received. This is an over-all percentage of 67.5, but in the so-called doubtful states, like Michigan and Minnesota, more than 85 per cent of the responded.

Merganser 40. Free 42. Excla-nation CHICAGO Ed F. Stumpf, the editor of the West Palm Beach Post, recently wired me that many readers- there would like to see, before November 6, Walter Reuth-er's letter from Russia advocating "A Sovit America" (written with and signed jointly by his brother, Victor). Inasmuch as Reuther is Adlai Stevenson's- chief henchman in the AFL-CIO job-monopoly and has been eulogized by Eleanor Roosevelt, Senator Lehman, Chester Bowles and others of that baffling stripe, this information is appropriate to the hour although it probably would make no difference in the political decision of any appreciable number of voters.

The time allowed me to obtain this letter from my file and transmit it may have been too short. That seems unimportant because Stevenson and Kefauver apparently are doomed at this writing, however, for future reference, here is the text, somewhat abbreviated, as provided by Dr. B. Matthews and published in the "Printed Hearings" of the old Dies Committee on Un-American Activities: "Jan. 21, 1934.

Dear Mel and Glad: It seems ages since we heard from you. Because you are anxious to receive word from the 'workers fatherland' I am taking this first opportunity to answer you. What you have written concerning strikes and general labor unrest in Detroit plus what we have learned from other sources of the rising discontent of the American workers makes us long for the moment to be back with you in the front lines of our struggle. However: the daily inspiration as we work side by side with our Russian comrades, the thought that we are actually helping to build a society ghat will forever end the exploitation of man the thought that what we are building will be for Jhe enjoyment of the working class not only of Russia but of the enure world, is compensation for our temporary absence from the struggle in the United States. "And let no one tell you that we are not on the road to socialism in the Soviet Union.

Let no one say the workers of the Soviet Socialist Republics are not on the road to security, enlightenment and happiness. you and Wal (Walter Reuther) and I (Victor Reuther) were always strong to defend it against the lies of reactionaries. But we are watching a backward peasantry being transformed into an enlightened Democratic cultured populus, "Here the workers, through their militan leadership, the proletarian dictatorship, have not sold out to the owning class like the Socialist party in Germany and the labor party in England. Here, against famine, internal strike, civil war, sabotage, capitalist invasion and isolation, our comrades have maintained power, they have won over the masses, they have transformed the 'dark masses' of Soviet Russia into energetic, enlightened workers. They have transformed the Soviet Union into one of the greatest industrial nations in the world.

In our. factory, one of the largest and most modern in Europe there are no pictures of Fords and Rockefellers or Roosevelts and Mellon. No such parasites but rather pictures of Lenin Etc. Greeting the workers eyes. Red banners with slogans 'Workers of the World Unite are draped across the craneways." The whole text runs to three pages of single space.

Matthews first saw it when Roy Reuther, brother of Walter and Victor Reuther, handed it to him at a meeting in Flint, when Matthews was a "fellow-traveler." Matthews says Roy was a Trots-kyite who strung along with DaVe Dubinsky's present henchmen, Jay Lovestone and Irving Brown, as they cried for blood in the American gutters. According to Matthews, Roy was disappointed in his brothers because they followed the Stalin line. Later, many copies of the same letter were struck off by mimeograph and Matthews provided such a reproduction to the committee for its published official records. Walter and Victor Reuther vaguely claimed that their text had been altered, but they never specified how. The "Mel and Glad" to wliom the original was addressed were friends in Michigan.
