There is no crisis today which was not clearly outlined in the debate in Con gress on the Middle East Resolution in February, 1957. The situation is this: The American government organized NATO. Then NATO was extended to include Greece and Tur key. We helped organize the Bagdad Pact along the South ern border of the Soviet Union. Then we boastfully announc ed that we had closed the ring around the Soviet Union in Europe and the Middle East. The Soviet leaders simply said they would leap frog over the line we had set up along their borders. That is when the present Middle Eastern crisis began. That is when our answer should have been ready. Soviet Fifth columns began their probing operations in every Middle Eastern country. They proceeded, according to sound military principles, to set up beach-heads in weak places. When they had set up a beach-head they brought in reinforcements to make islands of civil war, from which they could fan out in every direction to find new weak spots and join them to make a larger base. Any competent high-school student who had read his his tory could have predicted at that time all the developments in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq today. Everything followed according to standard military principles. I do not think men entrusted with leadership by the Am erican people have the right to run around in circles, talk ing about one crisis after another, when there is nothing new, nothing for which we have not had plenty of clear warning. The Communists told us they were going to leap frog over the NATO line by probing for weak places in the Middle East. They did. Now what have we been doing in the intervening years— except talking? We have been paying out foreign .aid funds for irrigation and schools and the like all over the area. Is that a policy? Is that hard thinking about how to preserve and safeguard the United States of America in a world fall ing back on all sides into barbarism armed with interconti nental missiles? Imagine the Europeans thinking they could defeat Attila the Hun by building bridges or stop Ghenghis Khan with new school buildings. We have today no policy for dealing with the Middle Eastern situation. We have no policy for dealing with So viet advance by means of Fifth columns fanning out into every sector of the Free World. One problem we must settle first. Are we going to act as a sovereign nation, or bind ourselves by what President Eis enhower called in his Middle East Message ‘the overriding authority of the United Nations Security Council?' Are we going to permit American fighting men to be gradually ab sorbed under UN command, with pretty words about peace and police forces? We have one tragic experience with let ting our men serve under United Nations command, only to have the victory, won with their blood, snatched from them by the United Nations. The United Nations police forces can never be an instru ment of peace in the Middle East, because they must follow the wishes of Russia as much as of the United States. I say there is no significance to the plan to use United Nations troops in that area, except as part of the twenty- year old program to put all national armies under the United Nations. But fighting forces are sovereign power. If our troops are transferred to UN control, our national sovereignty is gone. The plans are all made, the structure is built, the ways are all greased, to launch us on a military enterprise where our troops are to operate under the United Nations. Our policy in the Middle East is perfectly designed to get us morally involved, then to require our sending troops, and then, with an air of deep thought, to ask the United Na tions to please take over and guide the troops we send in, so everything will be legal and we an call it peace. I pointed out in the debate nearly two years ago that nothing in the Middle East doctrine made sense unless it was part of a plan to put our armed forces into a UN straight-jacket. The legal precedent set up in 1950 still stands. A presi dent of the United States, serving under the Constitution, accepted office as agent of the United Nations, and used his Constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief to put our troops under a UN command. No action has ever been taken by Congress to repudiate that advance toward world government. The precedent stands. • Instead, Congress added to the Middle East resolution a provision giving the President authority to send American troops (number unlimited) to serve in the UN forces and allot American funds (amount unlimited) for their expenses. Our forces in Europe are deeply intertwined in NATO. What wiH happen if France goes Communist, or Great Bri tain comes under a pro-Soviet regime ? Collective security Is i By The Way (Continued from page 1) I time for me to get lost at Stew art for even though he had given me implicit instructions for find ing him, it never fails to happen that I get lost on a service base. This time was no exception, but after a little searching, I located the mess hall of the 228th group, and from that point, it was no trouble to locate the person we were seeking. Pete Livingston, the mess sergeant, was kind enough to invite us to have chow with the 228th, but we thought we had better start on towards Sa vannah Beach. When we got as far as Savan nah, we decided, since it was en- route to the . beach, that we would have lunch at “Our House,* a place we ate frequently while we were living in Savannah. Upon reaching the spot, we found “Our House” torn down (it had been a new, modern building) and a big shopping center now located there. Across Victory Drive, an other restaurant had also been demolished for a shopping center, and we discovered that another of our old favorite “haunts,” the “Oyster Shell” en route to Sa vannah Beach was still in exist ence, but didn’t start serving un til five in the afternoon, so we eventually ended up at Savannah Beach before we had lunch. The stay at the DeSoto Beach Hotel was most pleasant, and without incident and we hated to leave there, but late Sunday morning decided we had better be on our way. Having to go through Savannah again, we took the girls by to see Hunter Air Force Base, where Frasier had been stationed during Air Force days and where ! I had worked. We could see the change in the place before we even got to the gate, because what was once just a field by the road was now cov ered with servicemen’s housing. Once the MP on duty decided to let us go in, the rain began pour ing down and continued until we left. Through the downpour, how ever, we were able to show the girls a few landmarks, as well as the big planes—C-97 tankers and B-47 jets which are now based at Hunter ,as well as helicopters, B-25s, “Gooney-birds” and other types aircraft. For those of you who may have been stationed at Hunter some six or eight years ago, I might mention that the place has grown tremendously. There is now located on the >base a “Teen Town”, a “Toyland” as well as a modern NCO club Wd modern barracks, a new operations building and towers on the flight line and a number of new hangars for the large aircraft. We didn’t see any of the C-124s (Globe- masters) on which Frasier was assigned during our stay there. With all that downpour, the sun should have started shining for us, but for me oar next adventure was a terrifying one. Frasier told me “I want to show you the new way out of Savannah via Alter nate Route 17.” This was agree able to me—UNTIL I found out what Alternate 17 involved, then it was too late to turn back.

Carolina, but believe me, next time I will take all those things in preference to the 50c it cost to go over the toll bridge. The only automobile wreck I have ever had was on a bridge and for years I was afraid to go over even the smallest one. I thought, I had conquered that fear until I got on that toll bridge, but I will have to admit that I was just about para lyzed with fright until we hit the level road again. It is a tremen dous structure over the slums, buildings, river and right into South Carolina, and for those of more steady nerves it is a wonder ful time saver. However, it com pletely unnerved me for the re mainder of the journey and I ex pect it will be a long Jong time before I undertake Route 17-A again. The terrific heat of Sunday afternoon suddenly cooled off with two more blinding rainstorms and that about concluded our travel ing troubles with the exception of a wasp sting which Frasier suf fered while we were riding peace ably along. From the sound of this story, this should have been a most un- enjoyable trip, but it really wasn’t. Connie and Ruthie were thrilled with the ocean.. They wanted to stay in the water or on the sand or in the hotel swimming pool constantly, but we kept them from being sunburned. They were up bright and early Sunday morn ing looking for shells on the beach; their Daddy found a live crab to show them, which delight ed them immensely. They thought it was great fun to sit at tables under the big umbrellas on the patio and have something to eat. One has more fun, I believe, re living experiences of the past through their children, than when they first experienced an occasion themselves. I don’t even remem ber the first time I saw the ocean, but I don’t believe I’ll ever forget the girls’ first trip there. And I’m sure it will be a long time before they forget it, for they are already planning their trip for next year. NOTICE OF SALE State of South Carolina, County of Newberry.

There is no security for America, and the United States can make no reliable promises to the world, unless in sure for now and all time that no president of this country can use American troops in any unconstitutional manner whatsoever. Our troops must serve only as national forces of the United States, under a President whose only military responsibility is as Commander-in-Chief of American forces within the Constitution. I am not alone in this fear that American fighting forces will be internationalized before Congress and the people wake up. In 1944, Secretary of State Hull wanted Congress to agree in advance to plans for a league of nations which could bind us to plans for a peace settlement regardless of what Ameri cans thought about it. Senator Vandenberg wrote Hull, T believe our Constitu tion clearly lodged the exclusive power to declare war in Congress. Frankly I do not believe the American people will ever agree to lodge this power anywhere else.’ Later in 1944, he wrote of the Dumbarton Oaks plan for the United Nations, T am opposed to what is generally un derstood by the terms ‘internation peace force/ So I bew- lieve, are the President, Secretary Hull, and most realistic students of this problem. To be adequate, an international police force would have to be larger than the regular army and navy of any other power on earth. I think it is fan tastic to believe that the people would long consent to the maintenance of any such enormous concentration of power in the post-war peace, and I also think that the temptation to reach for its ultimate control could become the greatest possible threat to peace in years to come/ I do not think we will find a better statement of the issue than that. Vandenberg said again, T am one of those who do not be lieve that our greatest hope for peace lies in trying to put peace in a steel straight-jacket/ Governor Dewey in 1944 said the main issue in the cam paign was American participation in the use of armed forces by the proposed UN organization. Secretary Hull invited Dewey to send a representative to confer with him. Governor Dewey sent John Foster Dulles, the architect of the famous plan of the Commission on a Just and Durable Peace, for world government with a world cur rency, world law, world citizenship, and a world military es tablishment strong enough to prevent resistence by any na tion. The proposals to internationalize our armed forces have proceeded step by step. Even the Defense Reorganization Bill soon to come before the Senate contains provisions for divorcing military operations from military thinking. It would greatly facilitate the meshing of our armies with those of the United Nations. I believe with Senator Vandenberg that the American people will never permit brave American youth fighting to save our country to be made subjects of a world govern ment. They will never permit their fighting men to be put under any agency which might be controlled by a pro-Com- munist majority. A country which invokes military action under condidtions which divide the people is already half de feated. Are we in Congress to spend our time on the latest news and forget the fundamentals?” Well, what can we do? Aren’t we running around in circles, always worrying about the course of Russia ? Hadn’t we better build our defenses here? “That means we must close out now all efforts to make our country paft of a One World (Government. We must abandon all the thinking of .the welfare decades since 1932 which would, be big spending, turn the United States into a huge, soft spongy mass, without the guts to oppose the lean and brutal strength of the Soviet Union. We must stop looking far away to Communism in the Middle East, and be more concerned about Communism here at home. The Supreme Court handed down a series of de cisions which the Communist press called one of the great est victories they had ever won.” This was taken from a bulletin issued by the Federation for Constitutional Government.
