Thay Aim To Conquer Us
The Russians mean to conquer us.
THEY ARE JUST
conquer
They have been announcing that intention in their writ-
ings for a long time, just as Hitler did in his book, “Mein
Kampf." Unhappily, too many of us have not wanted to
face this brutal truth, says NEA Service,
Now, events in Korea and elsewhere in the world are
compelling us to accept it as tne great cardinal fact gov-
erning our lives.
Russian talk of peace is meaningless. It is contradicted
by Communist action in Korea and Communist action in the
United Nations. When the chips were down on a UN reso-
lution that would have promoted early peace in Korea.
Russia voted “no.”
The Kremlin has no idea of negotiating a lasting peace
or any other kind of settlement that would hamper its plan
for global conquest. Russian leaders believe Communist so-
ciety represents the “wave of the future” and that we in
the West are a dying civilization. So fervently are they con-
vinced of this that they are never troubled for long by
individut reveises. They believe time works for them.

Obviously'that doesn’t mean they’re content to sit back
passively and wait for us to crumble. They exert a constant
pressure against us, probing for weak spots. That’s why they
went into Korea in the first place; they had it marked as
a soft point. '
It should Vo abundantly plain to every American, fur-
thermore every Soviet success emboldens Moscow to more
daring adventures.
Most important of all, it brings nearer the day when
Soviet rulers may be willing to undertake a decisive phase
in their struggle with the West. No men undertake a war
unless they think they nave a good chance to win it. The
critical moment is the one when they at last believe their
prospects are bright.
Knowing all this about the Russians, what must we
do? First, we must divest ourselves once and for all of
wishful thinking about the likelihood Russia will change its
objectives. The Kremlin’s purpose is unalterable—to destroy
us—and everything it does serves that end and no other.
We must then resolve to do everything possible to com-
pel Russia to postpone the decision that means general war.
That means a high state of military preparedness for our-
selves and our Allies, real protection both for America and
the crucial industry of Western Europe. It means accept-
ing controls, sacrifices, hardships at home.
We do not have much time to make up our minds to
do this. The areas of the world left to free men are dimin-
ishing. Our chief military advantages—the A-bomb and a
strategic air forfce—also are diminishing relatively as Rus-
sian power gains.
The price*of failure to do all these things now—while
the Russians presumably are still deferring the big decision
—will be wholesale war.
We might get it anyway. It might come through acci-
dent or Soviet miscalculation of our strength and theirs.
Or Moscow might conclude that a long stalemate induced
by our growing power would ul‘imately work to the ruin
of Communis Jheaders. They might in desperation choose
a war of doiiofful outcome rather than risk their necks at
home by waiting too long.
Tta?se eventualities we cannot guard against. But in
duty to ourselves and free people everywhere, we must be-
have as if accident and mistake will not govern. We must
act to show the men in the Kremlin that they cannot win.
Or to put it 9 fetter way, that we Will not be defeated.

Note—Di Salle arrived in Wnsh-
ington from Toledo, Ohio, to find
he had no telephone, no staff, and
no full legal power to stop price
rises. All he had was a heap of
angry letters from housewives. At
first he was tempted to buy a re-
turn ticket to Toledo, out he has
been getting to work at 6 a, m.,
going to bed after midnight, and is
gradually working order out of
chaos.

No one was expected to show
up for the banquet that followed,
but Chandler went through with it
nonetheless. News reports that
the party "proceeded without a
hitch” were wrong. It started at
8:00 p. m. two hours late.
All but New York Giants' Horace [ questioning

hoped today that three lost sheep
will return to the fold.
The lambs were part of a cast

church lawn. They weren't there
yesterday morning.
"We still have our donkey and
calf, but the loss of the sheep is
disconcerting," said the Rev. Ken-

Ford Frick, president of the Na-

"What an unusual feeling. It's

"Not one man here is enjoying

TOOELE, Utah (U.R)—The old-
time “general store" idea of good
will has been injected into Utah’s
hunting license sale.
The good will is expected to pay-
off big dividends in years to come
by bringing about better relations
between hunters and livestock
growers.
Oldsters remember the small
bag of candy the storekeeper used
to give them to “take home to the
kiddies” when they paid their bill.
Under the auspices of the Tooele
Wild Life Federation, the same
idea is used in sale of hunting
licenses. The small, six-ounce bag
that goes with the license contains
seeds for new livestock and game
forage and for improved hunter-
stockmen relationships.
The Tooele soil conservation dis-
trict is co-operating, deeming the
program a practical approach to
the problem of depleted grazing
lands a n d sportsmcn-stockmcn
antagonisms.
Program Is Simple
Here’s the simple program:
When a sportsman in Tooele
County buys a license to hunt deer,
or .when he reports in at a deer-
hunter checking station, he’s giv-
en a six-ounce sack of grass seed
to be sowed in the urea in which
he will hunt his deer.
The seed is for crested wheat
grass, the "wonder" grass from the
Russian steppes which has been
established as the ideal cover' for
reclaiming Utah's over-grazed ter-
rains.
He also is given a mimeograph-
ed sheet of instructions on how
to p'ant the seed most effectively.
The Idea was tried first last
year, very much on the quiet.
Sportsmen and soil conservation
officials wanted a test before let-
ting it go too far.
Recently, a committee of sports-
men and soil conservation offi-
cials visited areas seeded last year.
They found new grass growing
where hunters had scattered seed.
Each six-ounce sack has enough
seed for effective covering of 40
square feet. Planted under oak
brush or trees, seeds sown in the
eflrly fall will be protected by fall-
ing leaves until they germinate.
Hunters Even Plow
In open areas, the hunters cover
the seed with three-quarters of an
inch of soil, often using a stick to
plow furrows in which to set the
seed.
So successfu. has been the pro-
gram that sportsmen now are con-
sidering future planting-hunting
excursions in which they will set
out the seeds of bitter brush, buck
brush and other plants on which
deer browse.
Such an extension, authorities
pointed out, would please not only
the stockmen but the hunters, too.
More natural feed would be made
available to deer and the wild
game would not be competing with
livestock for *hc grass forage
avnilublc.
The program, rports officials
said, taps a great reservoir of
manpower, since deer hunters
