tentialities beyond one’s imagination.

people learn they have been duped bv gam

It's all one sorrv mess, and when the pea

the communities will be negeligible in com

Wr, Smith Goon To Totrn
Chicago Daily Tribune
Representative Lawrence H. Smith, of the
First Wisconsin District, made a speech in
the House of foreign policy Monday ....
Mi Smith said that, without the expen
diture of a dollar or a man, the United States
could win the friendship of 200.000.000 mil
lion people in the Mediterranean Basin by
supporting opposition to British and French
colonialism. He said that this would retrieve
a great bloc of people now tempted by com
munism, and that it would serve American
security by safeguarding 60 percent of the
world’s oil reserves, plus rich deposits of
phosphate, magnesium, and potash. There is
ample corroboration of the thesis that these
lepressed peoples may embrace communism
simply because they are frustrated at every
turn in their search for real independence.
The Egyptian Government has openly stated
that a continuation of Britain’s refusal to
withdraw her garrison and to recognize
Egyptian claims in the Sudan could throw I
the country into the Communist camp. Brit
ish troops, said Representative Smith, are
also in Iraq and Transjordan, and French
military forces are holding down 80,000.000
people in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco.
Indeed, even as he spoke, a Committee for
the Freedom of North Africa was lodging
a complaint with President Truman that
France, by moving fresh troops up from
Dakar, was reinforcing its police-state re
gime m Morocco, where wholesale* arrests
are taking place. The protest, sent while the
President was in conference with Premier
Pleven of France, charged that the United
States was serving the interests of commun
ism by supporting French colonialism in
North Africa and Indochina.
This, as Representative Smith makes clear,
is a self-defeating game for the State De
partment to play. If other confirmation of
that obvious fact were required, it has been
supplied by Maj Gen. Graves B. Erskine,
commander of the Marine Corps Depart
ment of tin* Pacific, who said, “Colonialism |
is through in Asia and in other parts of the j
world as well.” General Erskine said that
independent Thailand, which has showed j
much spunk in opposing the Soviet Union,
is the only country in southeast Asia where
a white man can venture out on the street
without escort and not risk being knocked
on the head.
Colonial countries do not love communism
more; they like colonialism less. They will
turn, however, to the people who seem will
ing to help them a<. teve their aspirations for
liberty, and if the* helpful are Russians, that
is too bad for the west. As a Middie Western
er. with the unhampered outlook of this sec
tion of the country. Representative Smith
has no difficulty seeing these realities clear
ly. Why cannot the State Department see
them too? Is *1 because the Department real
ly is not averse to throwing; subject peoples
into tin* arms of Stalin?
II you moan to act nobly and seek to know
the best things God has put within reach
of men, you must learn to fix your mind on
that end and not on what will happen to
you because of it -George Eliot

only are worth having which corneas the

Bi'.nd an car to tne ueep baritone
song of this marvel motor, and
you’ll know we aren’t fooling when
we call it Fireball.
Mister, that’s Power, with a capital P
What happens beneath that brawny
Buiek bonnet happens in no other car
in the world.
\ears ahead of tne rush to high
compression valve-in-head engines,
Ruick was in there pitching for more
power from every drop of fuel.
The result was—and is—a spectacular
engineering phenomenon that makes
itself felt the instant you touch toe to
gas treadle.
You command a rapid-fire sequence
of tiny tornados, letting loose their
pent-up power every five inches that
a Buick travels.
jylwwt, Mfiiiprin, trim m*4 ■»«<«!»
If you could look inside
that Fireball engine, you'd
see the reason. Instead of
the flat-topped pistons
used in other cars. Hoick
uses a turbo-top piston,
contoured like this:
So the inrushing fuel
whirlwinds into a compressed hall
that adds a super-urge to the down*
stroke of the piston
And you get the thrill—and thrift—of
this Buick “first” in. every mile vou
drive.
IVlore than that, you get an engine
tried-and-true—an engine that’s been
polished and perfected in every detail
up through the years.
Again and again, compression ratios
have been stepped up to keep pace
with advances in fuels. Self-setting
»i?lve lifters contribute to silence,
Micropoise balance and Hi-Poised
engine mountings add two more
Buick exclusives.
And the silken might of this Fireball’s
power has been made more beauti
fully obedient by still another “first”
—Dynaflow Drive.*
So we list as a prime reason whv
“smart buy’s Buick" this Fireball
power plant — and a host of happy
owners will say “Amen.”
Better see your dealer soon, to find out
what you’ve been missing.
