indicates that there are some who feel that the small vote cast then did not reflect the will of the people of Ogden I as a progressive whole It is ironical that the same persons who are wont to I

educational campaign which shall have as its goal convincing rather than persuading the taxpaying voters Let the projects stand on their merits and speak for themselves — with interpretation the major

The United States had better keep its premiums paid on the policy called national defense There are too many up bonfires in the world today Someone's house may burn down and it's up to us to keep the water buckets handy — Gen George C Kennedy Chief of the U S Strategic Air Command Moral Force in Foreign Policy The clarity and percision of mind which made Secretary of State Marshall a great general are beginning to make themselves felt in America's international affairs Mr Marshall is beginning to give this government's foreign policy a m m m shape and direction that it has not had since the war ended m The state department and the United States delegation M m m to the United Nations now seem to be travelingjke same road There have been no bad stumbles since the awkward moment when it seemed that the "Truman doctrine" for Greece and Turkey had been formulated without much thought for the U N It quickly became evident that this was an error of tactics and not of intent The situation which caused the American move to aid Greece has been verified by the majority of a U N investigating commission The facts bem m hind Mr Truman's action will now be presented to the U N general assembly with the urgent request that the assembly take such action as it can against the acts of aggression by Greece's northern neighbors Mr Marshall told the American Association of the United Nations that fidelity to the U N is the cornerstone of our foreign policy But he also indicated that this policy is going to depend for support upon "the great moral and political forces of the peoples of the world" which Mr Marshall said "must somehow be brought to bear with full effect through the general assembly" This may seem at first to be a rather weak prop for a good share of the burden of our foreign policy But the moral and political forces of world opinion can influence world governments They can win support for American policy as it is clearly presented by Mr Marshall And perhaps they can also help to contain Russia's imperial communism within its present frontiers The Soviet government's truculence is winning it no new friends in the free world Spokesmen who continue to defend and rationalize the Kremlin's stubbornness are betraying a shortness of temper which expresses itself in an increasingly blunt and bitter hostility toward the United States Some recent attacks are almost reminiscent of Hitler's tirades which grew more shrill and emotional as war grew nearer This comparison is not meant to suggest that war is now imminent but it should be recalled that Hitler was not appealing for world vindication He was simply selling a great fabric of lies to his own people to put them thoroughg ly in the mood for Obviously the Kremlin's growing list of American villainies is not meant to convince the world of its truth Its only purpose seems to be to steep the regimented minds of the people behind the iron curtain in a mixture of fear suspicion and hatred which will make any future Soviet policies seem natural and inevitable That path of withdrawal and isolation however is strewn with some disconcerting wreckage It was a path followed by Hitler Mussolini and the Japanese warlords And as John Foster Dulles pointed out in a speech which with Mr Marshall's helped launch United Nations week they were contemptuous of moral judgments and wound up r dead amidst the ruins " blood-lettin- non-Commun- ist If the British do not want American pictures that's one thing If they do they shouldn't expect to get a dollar's worth of films for a quarter — Eric Johnston

relief funds for Europe are some triple-urgecables received from his ambassador in Rome James C Dunn warning that communist revolt is imminent The de Gasperi government ijn Italy was formed with no communists represented in the cabinet: And although it was kept a strict diplomatic secret this was done on the specific recommendation of the American embassy Because of this the entire prestige of the United States is staked on keeping the de Gasperi government in power Meanwhile a top secret U S army intelligence report gives startling details of the communist plan to seize Italy For some time U S intelligence agents have been working to ferret out the underof communists ground network which the Russians have carefully planted to take over Italy at the appropriate time Presumably this would be when U S troops are withdrawn —on December 15— anld when the Italian food and fuel crisis reaches the winter climax This column has been able to obtain a copy of the secret U S intelligence report and pertinent parts of it follow: Partisan Police "The partisan railway police (ih Bofcgna) has at its disposal 1300 men all armed with tommyguns and pistols The corps is also equipped with heavy weapons kept at the commands five trucks two autos and several motorcycles Brighetti alias Brandb is commander of the railway police He is in a position to dispose M 70 motor vehicles of the FFSS auto

Communists "The Garibaldi brigades ae formations which were already active during the period of the partisan fight and which the several commanders have held spiritually united They are nil as a
