Pi Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1951 Russia s World Conquest Plan • • • Womaii^s Point of View Fight Fully, or Get Out. A S WE POINTED out many months ago, the troops now fighting in Korea are do ing so under unprecedented circumstances. They have wondered why they were over there.- in the first place, and they still won der why they have to fight under the restric tions of a so called “police action.” We ima gine that the experts in psychological mat ters of warfare are still trying to find a rea son acceptable to the man in the foxhole. Senator Capehart, (R-Ind.) was recently on a radio debate program at which time he was asked if he would vote for a declaration of war on China. His reply was that he would vote for such a measure in order to give the “American boys fighting in Korea every chance to go after the Chinese Communists who are killing them.” He added that he did no favor our sending troops to Korea in the first place. Admittedly, the situation is getting to be more intolerable every day. It has forced the Communists to tip their hand, and we have learned a great deal about their tactics and weapons. The only other justification for the continuance of the police action would be the purchase of time. No one seems to be making a frantic rush to prepare for an all out war, so we must conclude that time is not worth the sacrifice of men and materials. We are forced to agree with the Senator. We should either fight a war in the fullest meaning, or gracefully pull out to fight another day. In view of the implications of a major air attack on Manchuria, and the apparent loss of faith in the U. N. on the part of the United States—the latter may be the wiser course. We have no definite information, but there is a chance that an orderly withdrawal is now being carried out. Stalin Tells How Communists Will Ruin Capitalism Vet Families Gel Babies, New Cars During Holidays By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY Presented here today are part III, IV, V, and VI of Joseph Stalin’s doctrine, “Russia’s Plan for World Conquest”, published in the January issue of Coronet magazine. Obtained by Coronet from the Stalin archives of the National War College in Washington, D.C., The Battalion published Stalin’s intro duction and parts I and II here yesterday. Today’s installment of Stalin’s nine-point plan, which will be concluded in tomorrow’s Battalion, discusses the Russian communists plan for undermining the principles and foundations of government in non-communist countries. Labor unions, liberal poltical organiza tions, and the customarily liberal-minded youth of these countries are the primary targets of the Red program of revolution. Stalin’s own words prove conclusively that organizations in this country sympathetic to the Communist movement did not develop that attitude alone. In simple language he tells exactly why the seed of communism must be planted inside other countries by means any thing short of actual warfare, and how it shall be accomplished. Because the Red Dictator tells us just what and where our weak points are, this doctrine should bring sharply into focus in the minds of American people, the influence, the thinking, and the political ar guments that they must inspect thoroughly and closely before ac cepting.—The Editor. A GGI ELANDS! .AGGIE- LANDS ! Get your Aggie- land here. If you’ve been around Room 207 Goodwin Hall recently, you’ve probably seen us neck-deep in brown paper, our fingers thumbing through a card file as we en deavor to please the fellows by dishing out their Aggie- land 1950. After so long a time at this sort of thing, you get to where you wouldn’t recognize your best friend, and our face has been red more times than one when auto m a t i c “Name you better tell him, cause the ebration.

Roy Nance, Aggieland editor, will quit ac cepting photos for the section. . . . also for Vanity Fair beauties. The procedure is simple: have your picture made into a 5x7-inch glossy print, turn it in to Mrs. Jeanie McCullough, secretary in the Student Activities office, Room 209 Goodwin Hall, give Jeanie a buck and a half fee (that’s the charge, so you’re not getting cheat ed!) and sit back and wait until next year. There you’ll be smiling right out of the Texas A&M yearbook, and who’d ever have thought you’d make the annual in an all-male school? rounded dolls. by her Christmas our ‘Hips to Be Fashionable’. By JOSEPH STALIN III O UR FIRST official act upon receiving the newspaper in the morning is to dodge all the grim stories of war and international hews and look for our favorite literary of fering, ‘Togo the Possum.” As we sleepily thumbed through the paper last Tuesday, we were shocked from our early hour torpi dity by a headline in the women’s section— “Hips to Be Fashionable During Coming Year.” The logical counterpart to that headline was of course that hips were not fashionable last year. And that really poses a problem in re trospect. How did people get by without their hips in 1950. The fashion conscious peo ple, that is. “Hatchet,” our roommate, has done all right for years, but his is obvious ly a special case. As we tried to recover from thinking about all the ramifications of that news note, we noticed the headline on the very next story. “Bosom Gets Emphasis By Californ ians.” Was this revolt from one of our lead ing fashion states? Or perhaps their policy was “Why change now, we got by all right in ’50 without hips.” Or could it be that the cost of altering slacks makes the new fashion note impractical in California? Note to Texas Women. One of our favor ite occupations is standing on the corner and watching the sweet young things pass by. Please don’t become so fashion conscious that you leave out any of the old stand-bys which make “watching” such a pleasure. N O COUNTRY can, in these times, carry on war without the workers. If workers refuse to make war against our Soviet Republic, then such war becomes impossible. Communists must go into the unions, work in them for five or more years if necessary—see to it that every com munist, without exception, becomes a member of an appro priate trade union, there to work patiently and systematical ly for the solidarity of the working class in its fight against capitalism. The support of our revolution by the workers of all lands, and, even more, by the victory of workers in a few countries at least, are indispensable preliminaries without which the final triumph of socialism cannot be assured. Should an attack on Russia materialize, we should be pre pared to use every and any means in order to open the flood gates of revolution throughout the world, rallying the work ers of capitalist countries and the people of colonial lands to the aid of the Soviet Union. Please?” has been answered with “Really, Now! How long do I have to live next door to you before you recognize me?” . . . We’ve seen more pretty girls than we knew existed as the guys produce their ID cards from cluttered billfolds — blondes, brunettes, redheads, all kinds are repre sented. SpeakiiiR' of New Year’s Bab ies, we’ve got one right among us. He is tiny Danny Ray Smart, who put in his appearance in time to be the first child born in Brazos County in 1951. As a result of his timely entrance into the Scheme of Things, Dan ny has been showered with gifts from merchants and other well- wishers, all of which makes his mom and dad, Ray and Lena Smart, doubly happy. Danny has a bigger brother, Duane, to grow up to, . . Jack and Roselle Sellers have welcomed into their College home a brand-new baby daughter born in time to be a Christmas present for her folks. We aren’t running a lost-and- found department, but we do think we owe Frederick Adicks a plug to try to find his Sheaffer pen cil. Seems he lent it to the fellow behind him in line so the guy could sign for his annual. Then Fred became so engrossed in his new book that he walked right out without getting his pencil back. The pencil has a black bottom and a gold top and Fred would like for the man who borrowed it to drop it back by the Agriculturist office. Note-taking gets pretty heavy around final examination time and Fred claims he could take better notes if his pencil would only come back. Tony Munson, one of the cutest tots among the Kiddy Car Crowd in our section of College View, entertained his friends Tuesday at his third birthday party.

IV UMT for 18 Year-olds Pushed (Continued from Page 1) having full White House backing. A bill covering it will come put of the defense department “during the week,” Marshall said. As sketched by Marshall and Mrs. Rosenberg, the system, would work like this: How It Works • Young men reaching 18 would become liable for service if physi cally and mentally fit. (Now they only have to register at that age). ® Only about 450,000 of the esti mated 1,050,000 reaching 18 would be actually inducted the first year, partly because that is all the serv ice could handle well. Those near est their 19th birthdays would be taken unless they got individual ■ defermentfi. The plan would aim at taking substantially all the non- deferred cligibles in later years. # Students usually would be de ferred to graduate from high school or finish a college year. ® Those called would get a mini mum of four months training be fore they go into regular service. Marshall said that in general youths under 19 would not go over seas but he didn’t want “our hands tied” by law. # For the first three years of the plan, 75,000 boys a year would be deferred for study in medicine, sciences and needed specialists, but they would get their four months basic training first and would “owe 23 months service.” The Navy’s officer training jivould program in civilian colleges be explained to cover the other services. • The services would send an other 50,000 on active duty to col leges for the first three years, for training that would help the mili tary. 9 Eligible men studying medi cine and specialties would be de ferred upon graduation in suffi cient numbers to meet civilian re quirements. • Men completing their service terms would go into the reserves for three to six years. This could be shortened if they entered the National Guard or active reserve units. JANUARY 15-31 How will we bring the masses of a nation into the com munist program? We have fashioned a number of organi zations without which we could not wage war on capitalism; .. trade unions, cooperatives, workshop committees, labor par ties, women’s associations, a labor press, educational leagues,i youth societies. As often as not, these ate non-party organizations and only a certain proportion of them are linked with the party. But under special conditions, every one of these organiza tions is necessary; for, lacking them, it is impossible to consolidate the class positions of the workers in the various spheres of the struggle. There is a veritable ant heap of independent organiza tions, commissions, and committees comprising millions of non-party members. Who decides upon the direction that all these organizations take? Where is the central unit of organization that wields sufficient authority to keep them within prescribed lines in order to achieve unity of command and to avoid confusion? The central unit is the Communist party! Love! It’s beautiful! Ask the thousand married Aggies! For that matter, ask any of the guys who went home Christmas to place sparklers on the girl friends. Glenn McAnally joined the engaged men by making it official between himself and girl friend, Patsy Garrett. Now Glenn haunts the post office even more than he once did for news from the O-A-O. Prizes‘in our book for the hap- pifest man about is Fred Walkef, Who just after the holidays was showing off his pretty girl friend to envious fellow Aggies. Blonde Audrey calls Cordova, Tennessee, home, hails from England and is now employed in Denton—which Fred claims is the farthest city from Bryan he can think of. Au dreys’ last name is Caughey (pro nounced coffee), but we won’t bother to remember it for from the looks of those two it will be Walk er before very long. MARCH 0 * DIMES The Battalion Lawrence Sullivan Ross, Founder of Aggie Traditions "Soldier, Statesman, Knightly Gentleman” The Battalion, official newspaper of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, is published five times a week during the regular school year. During the summer terms, The Battalion is published four times a,week, and during examination and vacation periods, twice a week,. Days of publication are Monday through Friday for the regular school year, Tuesday through Friday during the summer terms, and Tuesday and Thursday during vacation and examination periods. Subscription rates $6.00 per year or $.50 per month. Advertising rates furnished on request. Among the masses of the people, we communists, as Lenin, said, are but drops in the ocean. We have a style of work that is peculiar to the practice of Leninism; it creates a special type of worker, a special type of party or State of ficial, a special kind of style in public office. Our task is to assign party members to the key positions in the State apparatus, and to see to it that the apparatus is thus subjected to part leadership. For the revolutionist, the Revolution is everything, and “reforms” are only a means to an end. What we are con cerned with are not the reforms, but the uses they can be put to. A revolutionist may sponsor a “reform” because he sees in it a means for linking up constitutional action with unconstitutional action—because he feels he can make use of it as a screen behind which he can strengthen his secret work. Speaking of Christmas presents, many Aggie couples came back from the holidays driving theirs. Santa left a new Ford to Carl and Jeanie Schluter up in Des Moines, Iowa, where the two vis ited her mother, Mrs. R. J. Merrill. . . . Calvin and Lillie Mae Janak came back from Christmas in style in a smooth new convertible. Note to Senior Wives (and girl friends).

It is the education of young workers and young farmers in the spirit of Leninism, strengthening their conviction that our Worker’s State is the base from which the revolution in all countries will de velop. Young people must be inspired with confidence in the leadership of the Communist party of Russia. Young communists must be active in all domains of socialist construction work— There is a demand for A&M ac counting graduates according to T. W. Leland, head of the Business Administration department. He told members of the Account ing Society at a recent meeting, the supply was not enough to fill all the jobs. He also described the opportunities open for persons in terested in tax accounting. Plans for a group picture were discussed and tentative dates of Jan. 16 or 17 were decided upon.
