— Let The Neutral Nations Prove Themselves —
U. S. Senator Hugh Scott has proposed “a thorough over-
hauling” of U. S. foreign policy on neutralist nations.
The Senator's proposals appeared two days before Congress
was to reconvene in Washington. His recommendations were
made in an article written for “The Shingle,” ‘the publication
of the Philadelphia Bar Association.
The Senator declared that “national leaders who fail to
distinquish between the principles of freedom and the principles
of Lenin seriously undermine the strength of the free world.”
He recommended that the U. S. offer the world an “Alliance
for Liberty” whose members would “pledge allegiance in joint
covenant to the ultimate freedom of mankind.”
The Senator wrote:
“The Trouble With Harry, according to the motion
picture of that title, was that he was dead. And the
trouble with American foreign policy today is that parts
of it are dead and our Government has not yet devised
new and dramatic policies to deal with conditions around
the world. :
“Many of us in Congress believe that the American
policy of dealing with neutralist countries needs a
thorough overhauling.
“Neutralist is the not wholly accurate term applied
to certain nations which refuse to identify themselves
with either the free or the Communist countries. : The
would-be leader of the neutralists is India. Other mem-
bers of this bloc include most of the Arab countries,
‘several nations in the Far East and Africa, and such Red
bedfellows as Yugoslavia and Cuba.
“These countries are not meutral in the sense that
Switzerland is neutral because of its long history of non-
belligerence, or in the sense that Finland is neutral be-
cause geography forces it to look down the barrels of
Russian cannon. But rather the neutralists fancy them-
selves as a ‘third bloc’ or ‘third force’ of nations which
attempt to act as counterweights in the East-West
struggle.
“In a world of peaceful competition between peace-
loving nations there would be room for this sort of
Venetian diplomacy. But in a world where barbed wire
separates slave states from free nations, national leaders
who fail to distinguish between the principles of freedom
and the principles of Lenin seriously undermine the
strength of the free world.

Fred’s spirits have also taken a

Mr. and Mrs. Hennebaul returned
to the Center early yesterday morn-

Mr. Hennebaul said that he and

everybody is plugging for him and

Legion To Hear
About Erie Home
Concerned over what has been
called “a disgrace, a rat-hole and
a pig pen’, Daddow Isaacs Post,
American Legion will hold a special
meeting tomorrow night at 9 to
hear more about conditions at the
Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home at Erie.
Commander Edward Buckley, Past
Commander Thomas Reese and
Representative Fred Shupnick visit-
ed the home last July to study at
first hand the conditions there.
Commander Buckley has called
the meeting to inform members of
the Post on conditions underlying
the present debate in the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature concerning what
is to be done about the Home.
The current debate springs from
an item in Governor Lawrence's
| Budget which calls for money to
repair the Home.
| The Home has been used for
| many years to care for Pennsylvania
| veterans who are disabled, aged or
indigent. Buildings have fallen in
to disrepair and there is now a ques-
tion whether the Home should be
rebuilt, discontinued, or the wveter-
ans cared for elsewhere.
Commander Buckley has placed
Bernard McDermott and Tom Reese
in charge of the committee which
will

“For years a considerable body of opinion in the
United States urged us to understand and accept the
position of the neutralists. Most of these countries,
being newly independent professed to think of freedom
in its purest terms and criticized the major powers for
compromising on certain issues. Their concern about
the immense nuclear power which four big powers
possess was natural.
“But many Americans disregarded the fact that
some neutralist leaders played both sides against the mid-
dle for their own natignal or personal advantages. Some
Americans were bluffed by those neutralists who
threatened to turn to the Soviets if we did not provide
them with financial help. ]
“Many people overlooked even the one-sided neu-
tralist reasoning on atomic tests. For three years neither
we nor the Russians tested nuclear weapons and we met
regularly with the Soviets to reach agreement for a per-
manent ban on testing. But the neutralists castigated the
U. S. for insisting that before there could be a per-
manent agreement there must be adequate inspections
to be sure that no one was cheating.
“Suddenly last summer Nikita Khruschev announced
that he would resume above-ground nuclear tests. The
day he made this announcement, the heads of 24 neu-
tralist nations were meeting in Belgrade. The world
waited to hear what they would say.
“Their opportunity for leadership had arrived. The
uncommitted people of the world had an opportunity that
had not been theirs before—and may never be theirs
again. One of the armaments race which the neutralists
in prior years had decried in speech after speech. Soviet
nuclear fallout would soon fill the atmosphere.
“This was a time for greatness. A unanimous declar-
ation condemning the Soviet action could have galvanized
public opinion around the world like nothing had done
since the end of world War II. But there was no great-
ness at Belgrade. Some neutralist leaders spoke briefly
of their regret. Others said they understood why Russia
had to take this action. This sounded to a dismayed free
world like Tweedledum who said to Alice: ‘I am very
brave generally, only today I happen to have a headache.’
“When the gathering of neutralist heads of state’
adjourned a few days later they issued a curious declar-
RRR
THE DALLA
ation. It called for peace, but said not a word about the
Sovient Union's nuclear testing. =
“It criticized the United States for maintaining its
naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, but said nothing
about Soviet enslavement of Hungary and other Eastern
European nations. :
“It demanded the evacuation of French armed forces
from Tunisia, but not Chinese armed forces from Tibet.
“What little idealism there ever had been in neu-
tralism died suddenly last summer in Belgrade, and it
is incumbent upon our Government to re-evaluate our
policies toward neutralists and to deal more realistically
in the interest of the free world.
“From the end of World War II until March 31, 1961,
the U. S. gave and loaned more than $6 billion to the 24
neutralist countries. The following table gives the totals

A telegram from convention of-

of the Dallas Club.
The invitation is the direct result
of the Drill Team's fine showing at
the Kiwanis Convention held last

standing showing in competition at
Phillipsburg, N. J., Wellsboro Flam-
ing Forest Festival, Hazelton Mum-
mer’s Parade; Sayre, Windsor, N.Y.
and Norwich, N.Y. :
Last July, Jerry Gardner and Mr.
Ackerson as delegates of the local
Club to the International Conven-
tion in Toronto, discussed the pos-
sibility of the Drill Team's partici-
pation during the Colorado Conven-
tion with members of the Denver
group arranging the Convention.
The invitation was announced to
the thirty-two boys in the Drill
Team by William Wright, general :
chairman, Tuesday morning at a
pre-assembly meeting at Dallas Sen-
ior High School. The boys received
the news with silence until its
significance dawned on them—then
