Slogans
We’ve always been fascinated by names or slogans used
by leftwing organizations to promote their activities. There
have been “sit-ins,” “Freedom Rides” and “Turn Toward
Peace,” to mention but a few.
The other day in Austin an ultra-liberal group advocating
unilateral disarmament met at Zilker Park for a marathon 9-
hour “Picnic for Peace”—which included a speech by Norman
Thomas, 6-time Socialist candidate for president. The affair
was sponsored by a group called “Austin for Peaceful Alter
natives,” which did not seem to offer any alternative but
surrender.
The choice of the slogan “Picnic for Peace” opens up all
kinds of possibilities for other similar events. Let’s see:
There could be “Cookouts for Co-existence,” “Breakfast for
Betrayal,” “Brunches for Brotherhood,” “Luncheon for Lib
eralism,” “Suppers for Surrender,” or “Teatime for Treason.”
And if nobody’s hungary, there could be a period of “Fasting
for Fellow Travelers.”

A U.N. Tax?
Millions of Americans who are still struggling over their
1961 federal income tax returns might want to ponder a re
mark made by Sen. Joseph S. Clark.
Speaking to the American Association for the United
Nations, Clark defended the administration’s request for
purchase of 100 million dollars’ worth of U.N. bonds. At one
point, the Pennsylvania Democrat said that the United Na
tions will some day have to have its own limited assessing
authority to forestall future financial crises.
Does this “assessing authority” mean a power to tax
the people of the United States and the rest of the member
nations directly? And how, we would like to know, would the
senator define the term “limited”?
We can recall that the term “limited” was also applied
nearly 50 years ago, when the 16th Amendment to the U. S.
Constitution was proposed and ratified.

Algerian Independence
Is 7 Years Overdue

By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
France is now approaching an
independence arrangement with
Algeria which might have been
arrived at thousands of lives ago,
and the postoperational pains
promise to be just as bad as they
might have been then.

French rule, and this attitude
continues, violently.
sgO'ii .i :
The war has lasted for more
than seven years, but the scorn
which produced it goes farther
back. It goes back to the early
postwar belief in France that Al
geria could be made a*n integral
part of France just like her met
ropolitan departments-or states.
“ . • • actually, th’ Civilian Weekend is for civilian students,
hut . . . errr . . . well ... I think we can make an exception
in your case!”
In 1947 three departments were
established, but none of them
had autonomy, and none of them
was granted authority in the so-
called Southern Territories which
later proved to contain the oil
wealth.

Editor,
Tho Battalion:
O n March 2, the American
Or dance Association presented the
filin “Freedom Seven” in the
basement of the Physics Build
ing. At that time, there were a
number of copies of the January-
February issue of “Ordnance”
magazine on a table in the front
of the room where the film was
shown. It appeared to be the con
sensus that these magazines were
for free distribution to those per
sons attending the film.
These magazines, in reality
however, are part of the member
ship plan of the AOA and as
such were reserved for the mem
bers of the organization. Because
so many magazines were taken at
the meeting we have found that
many of our members were not
able to receive a copy.
I am sure that the persons who
are not members of the AOA and

That such an arrangement
would last in an area overwhelm
ingly populated by non-French
men- regardless of the fact that
the country’s economic develop
ment was almost entirely in the
hands of the French-was hardly
credible.
The other former French colon
ies were caught up in the world
wide independence movement and
gradually were lost or changed
their status from realistic adher
ents of the French Union into
something more like the relation
ship which exists in the Common
wealth between Britain and her
former colonies. But a x'apid suc
cession of weak French govern
ments declined to face the Alger
ian problem squarely.
A ‘million European colon
izers who considered themselves
Frenchmen-joined by other Eu
ropeans flatly refused to submit

It must be remembered, how
ever, that for these people of
European extraction, Algeria is

which they fight are not, in the
ordinary sense of the term, inter
national business interests such
as have caused so much trouble
in the Congo. The Europeans in
Algeria fight for home and social
status as well as for business.
