But others say we must send troops to Asia to defend our frontiers. The same reason goes for sending troops to Eu rope. It is a good thing that the Russian frontiers are not on the Canadian and Mexican borders, because we wouldn't like that. One school of thought is that we are spreading our brand of democracy to the back ward countries, and America should be in Korea to stop the flow of communistic ideas to the western world. So we send ma terials to people all over the globe; but we don't send ideas which would counteract Russian propaganda, instead we become an aiiy to their propaganda. In stead of liking their benefactor, they become distrustful, jeal ous, thinking that their tene factor intends to dominate them. And there is a great deal of truth in this, nobody gives something for nothing. Hasn't America dominated many of the Latin American countries, directly or indirectly. The rea son for this has been to make her borders secure. People came to this country to get away, from the European way of doing things. The Rus sian people haven't changed, whether they are under the Czar, or under Stalin. They have had Siberia for many years, and they have always sent po litical prisoners there. It is practically a sure thing that we are not going to change their way of thinking overnight, whether it be with bullets xr with the Voice of America, nor will we change the belief of the North Koreans. It sometimes seems rather dif ficult to tolerate an intolerable situation, but by losing our heads and going to war .will not alleviate the situation. Neither will sending just arms and ma terial goods alone help. What Europe, Korea and many other countries in the world need is a spiritual awakening. It has to come from within the coun try. They have to have confi dence in themselves to face the future, otherwise they will per ish under the communist yoke. We Americans must realize that there are other reasons for life then just, material possessions, or we too will fall prey td com munist yoke. Will our action in Korea pre vent future Russian aggression? Russia will strike when she thinks the time is ripe. What will stop her? A world of people, whe are prepared spiritually and militarily to defend what they think is right. By GORDON JEFFERS i r : Mrs. Florence McDoru'd.
