Watch industry. This propaganda has
token the line' that the United States
market is unreliable and has offered
"tractive inducements for trading
w'th the Soviet bloc. The fact that the
Soviet Union does not have an lioro-
'ogical industry emphasizes the strategic implications of the Russian trade
offensive. If the United States is suc-
Cessful|y to carry out its role in the
w'°rld, we must act with more consistency. We must realize that we ean-
n°t combine political internationalism
With economic isolationism. end

p Earlier Mr. Quarles had told the Air
tee Association, "We have good rea-
^" to expect that the air power that
now have will continue to be an
ective deterrent to keep an enemy

o ' yuarles expressed confidence in
t, superior striking-power of our Air
resident Eisenhower had much the
le "'action to sources available to
the two Democrats when he answered
to a reporter (and I am referring to
Senators Symington and Jackson), said
the President, "Well, I'm always
astonished at the amount of information that others get that I don't." He
concluded the discussion of guided
missiles and misguided Senators, and
I repeat that again, he concluded the
discussion of guided missiles and misguided Senators by saying, "I think
over-all we have no reason to believe
that we are not doing everything that
human science and brains and resources can do to keep our position
in a proper posture."
As long as we have men of the caliber of President Eisenhower, of
George Humphrey, Charles Wilson
and all the others that surround the
President, running the show, our country need not be at all apprehensive of
our defenses, irrespective of what
some Democratic politicians have to
say to the contrary. end

confused. There is little reward, during these
times, fur profundity unci substantial effort
for the security of our form of government,
but . . . much for perversion and inroads

Il serins to me that Rene d'Harnoncourt
protests too much Miss Pels' accusations
against communism's perversion of art with
respect lo painting. He has completely lost
sight of the over-all principle of shrewd
variables in the various assaults of communism, depending upon the type of country
concerned.

hired nations such as ours they have added
to their hoary cliches several new and dangerous principles. The steps are as follows:
1. Infiltration of publicity sources and
critic groups, as well as institutions concerned with all manner of culture (not just
painting alone).
2. Ridicule and defamation of character
of the individuals concerned with, and the
works of, the old masters of painting, sculpture, music, literature, and all forms of true
culture, including architecture.
3. Substitution of a "contemporary form"
in any style whatever, so long as it is utterly
and crudely opposed to the accepted standards of earlier forms of culture.
4. Constant press agentry dwelling on the
merits of the "newer" and more "realistic"
contemporary form.
5. The last step before conquering and
control, arrival of utter confusion among
the uninformed as to what actually constitutes true culture in any of the older arts.
In other words, discredit, destroy, substitute, create confusion. Our people are now
in a state of confusion as to acceptable culture in music, painting, sculpture, poetry,
architecture, and literature of all forms.

What our so-called society has to fear is
not tlie artist or his production. It is the
criticism, conjecture, and opinions voiced by
people who are trying to use his product to
suit their own purposes. Ballyhoo!
I would like to suggest that we look for
good and not ill in all people's efforts. Criticize not motive always, but lack of workmanship and laziness. Let us find good in the
beauty and design of pictures . . . appreciate
the expertness of good draftsmanship. I'll
take modern, cubist, impressionist, or academic art and find something good in each
field. And I'd start tomorrow to work toward
trying to excel in any of these if I thought
there were a practical possibility of developing in it so I could make more money, and
so make everything nicer and easier for
myself and all around me.

My suggestion for correction of the present effort favoring modern art is that community-sponsored art shows divide the gallery—one wall for art based on natural
rules, the other wall for art of unnatural,
inventive rules, with awards in each of these
two categories. This is fairness of an American kind. And it would encourage artists to
paint, again, pictures favorable to the American way of life.
