MOM INKMfff
MARX ore itJSSIA
I read this In the British maga
zine “The Twentieth Century”:
“On April 19, 1853, ttye London
correspondent of The New York
Tribune (now the Herald Tribune)
had this to say about Russian ex
pansion in Europe:
“‘Thanks to the Ignorance,
lethargy, inconsequence and cow
ardice of the occidental govern
ments, Russia has in all essentials
attained its alms, ohe after the
other . . .- since Peter the Great,
the Russian frontier has advanced
by seven hundred miles in the di
rection of Berlin, Dresden and
Vienna; it has moved some five
hundred miles closer to Constanti
nople, some six hundred and thirty
miles closer to Stockholm, about a
thousand miles closer to Teheran.’ ”
The write of this quotation was
none other than Karl Marx. He
could not have known, in 1853, that
his ideas would be seeded down in
Russia in 1917 and that his principal
disciples would regard that country
as their motherland.
Earlier, Kari Marx had warned:
. . (Under certain circum
stances) it would turn out that Rus
sia's natural frontier rijns from
Oanzig or Stettin sq Trieste. Aftd
g‘ as one annexation follows
■, the cohqilest of By
would only be the preldde
.artoaxatioif oh. Hufjg&y.
, Gaflcii and to the realiza
that Slav empire of which
fanatical psin-Slav philoso
phers kre dreaming. . - . Once In
possession of Turkey, Russia’s pow
er is. increased by hall and overtops
that of all the rest of Europe com
bined. That wduld be an inde
scribable disaster. . . . The aain
teaance of Turkish independence,
an# the prevent of Russhrs plans of
annexation should the Ottoman em
pire* dissolve after all, are matters
of the highest importance. In this
the interests of revolutionary de
mocracy and those of England co
incide. . . .”
It is interesting to compare these
statements with that of Dean Ache
son dated February 23, 1951 to Mr.
Clarence E. Moullette, in which he
says: .
“However, as it became clear that
the rulers of the Soviet Union not
wily were not interested in cooper
ating with us, but were challenging
the survival of our free Institutions,
and the independence of all na
tions, we have been obliged to build
up our strength again, all of us.”
Recently, in a conversation con
cerning Dean Acheson, I made the
point that he Ificiu historical imag
ination, which is the essence of
statesmanship. Such minds as .Tal
leyrand and Disraeli could see
'ahead and yet they were restrained
by .profound knowledge Os history.
Stalin, at Yalta, laid out a future
for Europe and Asia beneficial to
his country and his ideals of life,
.viith the broadest strokes. Roose
velt, Hopkins and Hiss could only
deal with the matters in hand. As
Important as such matters have
seemed tb be, they had to be fitted
into the framework of our own
tradition and history. This they did
not do and. therefore, brought upon
us our present miseries.
For, to paraphrase Karl Marx’s
statement above: once ifi possession
of China, Russia’s power is tripled
and overtops an the nations 6f the
wepld combined. •
Had the Uhl ted States possessed
one statesman in powef in 1945, h%
would have appraised this situation
clearly. There were many fine
minds, out of power, who did, in
1945, appraise this situation correct-
Dean Acheson is now virtually
the President of the United States
because foreign affairs prevail over
every domestic question that faces
the qountry. He develops the posi
tion in International relations and
then every other question has to be
made to conform to it
For instance, we have practically
fixed it as a policy to give Etoope
*5,000,000,000 a year. Since the end
M%j| v’gfcqs
ish have given up ’Marimflil plan
aid, they are to get mS&y aid,

LONDON —Got an added kick out of doing a show here the other
night, because in the audience was Princess Margaret Rose and she
seemed to be having a good time.
I was especially careful not to tell the wrong joke. Didn’t want to
finish my act in the Tower of London.
That's Alcatraz with a coat of arms.
The fellows sitting near her must have been from Scotland Yard.
Every time they applauded, I caught the flash of handcuffs.
It’s known'that Princess Margaret likes Americans and all things
American. And after the show, I can hear her telling her parents: “A
very funny thing happened to me on the way to Buckingham Palace.”
Os course, I’ve met British Royalty before. I was over here in 1947
for the command performance apd the Royal Wedding. But I was sitt
ing so far back that I saw only the tafl-end of the coronation.
It was too bad, because I’d promised to take a few notes for Cecil B.
De Mllls.
Oh, yes—there’s been one change since that show. I now sign my
autograph: “Bob Hope, Esquire.”

WASHINGTON The subject
was Indians and how long. Oh,
Great White Father, must the
House of Representatives put up
$46,000,000 a year to care for the
noble redskin?
So it turned out that the Indian
Bureau had 16,137 employees In
charge of Indians, plus an un
named number of Indian experts
it Intended to hire from time V>
time at SIOO per day. Wowiel For a
while the. chamber sounded like a
battle ground of the Comanches
and the Sluox.
Rep. George H Bender, the In
dian expert and Republican from
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, charged that
Indian Commlasjoher Dillon Myer
was an incompetent. Rep. James
G. Fulton <D„ Pa.), said the way
he calculated it, there was one bur
eaucrat for every 34 Indians.
• And let us not “forget the SIOO
per day Indian specialists, he said,
plus 227 new sedans In which to
haul them around.
Rep. Clarence Brown, another
Republican and f Indian authority
from Ohfo perhaps
convert a lame duck Congressman
ihto 4' SIOO 4 day Indian expert.
Several other lawgivers claimed
that the Indians were being bled
By lawyers, while Ksp.
Frances Bolton, a third Ohio Re -
publican, said she had been in the
Navajo where the great
need wai snore and better horses.
"Bift what did the Indian Bur
eau do?” she cried. "Built a cap
ital building 4t 4 cost Os $8,000,000.
All this time Rep. Usher L. Bur
dick (R„ N. D.), who knows more
about Indians than anybody in
these parts, the Indian Commis
sioner included, was squirming in
his seat. He grew up with the Si
oux. He speaks their language.
“When they come in here and
are going to shoot all the laywers.”
he said, when he found he could
keep silent no longer, "I have to
object. I have been a kind of in
nocent and inoffensive lawyer for
a long time.”
For 70 long years, he continued,
he lived with the wildest Indians
on the American continent. And
for 70 years they’ve been getting
npwhere much ' under the System
installed by Congress. He was get
ting, a good start denouncing his
fellow lawmakers, when Rep. Ben.
4F.' JWlsen (R., la.) said he’d sure
like to see Rep. Burdick talk in
the Indian sign language.
Rep. Burick did so, with Indian
gestures.
“And now I would like to ask the
gentleman what is the name the
Indians baptized him?” Rep. Jen
sen continued.
"The Indians have always had
too much respect for me to make
me a chief of their tribe,” snap
ped Rep. Burdick. "They only do
that with the sucker who gives
them some money.”
Rep. John F. Rooney (D., Brook
lyn, N. Y.), who knows nothing
much about Indians and even ad
mits it, wondered if the gentle
man frbm North Dakota kindly
would explain in words what all
those Indian signs meant Rep.
Burdick said they meant the heap

"Now where was I when I got
