Has the delegate never sat down to breakfast on hot waffles with maple syrup? Has he never dined on waffles and chicken with a rich yellow gravy? Perhaps one way to change attitude toward the rest of the world would be to hold a big chicken and waffle supper and show the Russians what they are missing If the Communist party line is to incorporate a stand against waf fles the Reds will lose any chance they ever had of converting Ameri cans It will do them no good to offer black bread and borsch as a substitute Political Duels In this election year political figures will spend much time denounc ing their opponents of the opposite political stripe Most of the conten tions will be forgotten after election day those not forgotten will at least be buried under a blanket of conventional amenities There was a time in the United States when bitter political argu ments resulted in duels On July 11 1804 Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr met on the dueling grounds in Weehawken New Jersey Hamilton and Burr had been at odds for many years and Burr had challenged Hamilton several times before Hamilton agreed to fight him The duel ended tragically with Hamilton dead It sometimes looks as if politics has progressed very little in the last several centuries There are as many short tempers irresponsible state ments and provoking remarks by both parties as there ever were But at least today politicians do let each other live to fight again Dorothy DEAR MISS DIX: Mine is a "neighborhood" problem We have a big shady yard an ideal place for the children to play My two youngsters 5 and 3 have all sorts of play equipment such as swings sandbox etc Our neighborhood is full of children but only one other family has swings so usually my yard Is full I mind it as I like my youngsters to be at home but the visitors literally take over the place My own children how ever are never permitted in oth er homes or yards Now I have told outsiders that unless my two can visit them the neigh children cannot come into our yard My husband thinks wrong Am ANSWER: Your feeling of an noyance is perfectly natural and understandable but the situation you outline is a commonplace one that offer much in the way of alternate solutions Since the welfare of your own youngsters is your chief concern you are bet ter off continuing even at the cost of patience your system of per mitting the offspring to share the pleasures of your yard Make them respect your property and the rights of its owners but shunt them off Acting as hosts as your will in crease their social adaptability and will give them a love and respect for their own home that the visit ora will never have Parents make a big mistake by not opening their homes to the Dix Says guests of their children and they pay dearly in later life when sons and daughters continue to seek their fun outside Your forebear ance now will be rewarded later DEAR MISS DIX: a woman of 38 and have fallen madly in love with a married man in our office I do everything I can to be near rim to get him to notice me and occasionally have managed to make him kiss me I am trying to get his wife jealous because I feel I should be in her place Am I lowering myself by acting this way? My heart tells me to go after him but my friends tell me foolish I feel that I'm entitled to what I can get out of life JANIE ANSWER: You are lowering yourself ekactly to the level of a snake How much lower can you get? You surely would be indig nant if someone in the office stole your purse or a piece of jewelry yet you are no better than the commonest meanest thief when you go to such extremes to steal a man away from bis wife and fam ily Your nasty disposition has un doubtedly driven away any eligible young men you could have had during the last twenty years and your frustrations are making you jealous of anyone happiness If even a small streak of decency in you leave this man alone and expend your energies going after someone who family obligations LAAYETTE JOURNAL AND COURIER Tuesday Evening July 29

Asia BY GEORGE SOKOLSKY Prior to becoming kingmaker at the Republican convention Thom as Dewey took a hurried trip to Asia thus becoming an author ity on the subject and writing a book Nearly every casual visitor to Asia writes a book Tom to the ar has value because he brings to the subject the shrewdness of a poli tician who has managed very well for himself except that he was twice defeated for President It must be recalled that before Tom Dewey became' a gang buster and politician he was a musician a baritone Had he pursued a cultural career rather than one of raking over the muck of human depravity he might have been a great artist and a lovable person As it is he remains everlastingly the prosecutor Yet when he was in Japan he caught the essential fact of American propaganda in Asia as well as in Europe which is that those peoples are more in terested in human culture than in automobiles and washing machines He says: cultural bars between America and Asia are as numerous as the business bars The Soviet Union not only suffers none of the handicaps under which we struggle in a business way they also outstripped us overwhelming ly in their cultural penetration into the free world Traveling Soviet ballets orchestras singers and artists as well as every form of Soviet literature are turning up all over the world in huge quan tities Much of the music and art it entirely unaccompanied by propaganda but it is plainly the most powerful propaganda of all or us to compete with the Soviet in cultural propaganda would prob ably cost billions but as I noted the total absence of any sign of American culture in the Pacific it seemed to me that our defeat in the struggle for the minds of people in this one so decisive as to plete overhauling and approach COURSE baseball team or triumphant tour of Japan for profit and does some good American movies and magazines circulate in the Pacific But more often than not they deal with the ugliest as pect of American life frequently exaggerating our defects for pur poses of sensationalism or enter This is absolutely true and has been missed by the Voice of Amer ica and all the other propaganda agencies designed to make Asiatics and Europeans love America Na tions are not bought by money as we are beginning to learn after spending close to $100000000000 trying to prove that they can get cash and credit from the United States almost on request and never to be returned We even gave Soviet Russia $11000000000 and bought ourselves an enemy On the other hand nations can be won to ideas This has been the program of Soviet propaganda and it has been extraordinarily ef fective even when the ideas are demonstrably false OUR WEAKNESS has been that while we have all the evidence to establish the errors of Marxism in philosophy as in economics we have avoided doing ofirselves any good first because those to whom propaganda has been delegated do not understand the requirements of the task in this century and sec ondly because a theory of the sep aration of government from reli gion makes an intelligent discus sion of opposition to Marxism of ficially impossible As long as that is so no matter how much we spend to convert nations to a love of us we shall fail There is much in Tom book that is interesting and even important He has grasped the sig nificance of ormosa and his views on that subject may prove embarrassing to General Eisen hower who has always deprecated the importance of Asia particular ly ormosa Tom thesis is not the same as General Eisen To some phases of this book I shall return because discussion is necessary particularly his concept that officials should not be held responsible for the mistakes they make even if American lives are lost as a result of their errors be cause what they said at the time represented their best judgment According to this idea no one should have held Nero responsible for the burning of Rome with its consequent human suffering and loss of life because it represented best judgment Must we die because idiots use their judgment?
