U. S. Took Look ~ At Asiatic Policy
By GORDON CUMMING Compiled From the Wire Services As a farewell gesture to Jacob Malik, who retired last Thursday as president of the United Nations Security Council, the other members might well have presented -him with a beautiful- scroll their thanks for his uninten--tional service to peace. In all sincerity, they. could have thanked him for uniting the free peoples, putting teeth in the United Nations, clarifying the vast differences between truth and falsehood, and providing an open debate on capitalism vs. communism. =_ A special’ paragraph of thanks could have been inserted on behalf of the American people for helping them to. waken from their nightmare of bungling, fuzzy-witted groping for an Asiatic policy.

Has the Red tide begun to ebb in Europe? The Nh above would make it seem so. Based on a United Press survey, it reports the estimated strength of each Communist Party in 1949 and 1950. An over-all decline of 12 per cent was reported. Western Germany alone showed a drop from 300,000t0 200,000 in four years, Western Austria from 150,000 to 140,000, and Switzerland from 25,000 to 20,000. Spain was-at best a guess. And the best quess was that there were between 10,000 and
20,000 Spanish Reds.
