Cicero wrote 1 "-a great spring from which injuries arise is some quirk or cavil and an oversubtle and malicious interp etation of the laws; from whence that saying, 'the height of justice is the height of roguery,'fe1 examole, him, who, concluding a truce with the enemy for 'thirty days,' made continual incursions into their territory by night; because, forsooth, the truce was NOT made for so many NIGHTS, but only so many days:' t< :F {<

As I read and ponder and likewise wonder over the ways and words of diplomacy as evidenced in the present meetings of the Security Council of the United Nations, I wonder if the gang of bandits and assassins in the Kremlin have not, perhaps, read the writings of Cicero, and thus learned additional ways and methods of croo,kedness and slipperiness? You don't suppose they thought up all their deviltry for themselr.., U*o tltl f wrote in this column last issue that I thought some good American, outraged beyond restraint at the insults the Russian spokesman has been handing our brave young men in Korea, should "smash a bowl of hot soup in his ugly puss." I wish to withdraw that suggestion. f am very fond of hot soup, and don't think that would be giving said soup a fair deal. I would like to make the same suggestion but substitute "garbage bucket" for bowl of soup. That would fit the situation better. t<*>k

The newspapers have L.l *r"arng numerous suggestions from far and wide, from great and small, from preacher and professor, from one and all, about what should be done in reply to the unbelievable and immeasurable insults to this nation and its government that have been broadcast from the Security Council meetings to the outside world. Some of the suggestions are swell; not as practical as my suggestion made above, but perhaps more refined.

Warren R. Austin, United States spokesman in the Security Council, is reported to be receiving hundreds of telegrams and letters daily ever since the meeting started, suggesting what should be done about the poison-tongued Malik. Someone suggested that every time Malik speaks, Austin simply rise to his feet and utter the famous answer that the American leader gave the Germans at the battle of the bulge, and say-"NUTS." That wouldn't be bad.

I really believe that one suggestion that has been made to Austin would be even better than the most bitter invective, if it were done cleverly. That is, make fun of him. Don't treat him and his mad lies seriotrsly. Treat him as though he were a clown, a buffoon, laugh him out of court, as it were. Some of the greatest lawyers in American history have agreed that the way to kill a case that would otherwise be desperate, is to simply "laugh it out of court." Boy, don't you know that Kremlin mouthpiece would writhe and squirm and well-nigh die if a well arranged campaign of ridicule were heaped on his head? Some authorities have long maintained that the "thunders of silence" is the best weapon in such a case. I don't believe ignoring him would hurt Malik. But ridicule, if cleverly handled, might send him rushing red-faced from the chamber. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

The justice of Aristides wo'uld affect him not in the least. Double-leaded diatribes he is prepared for, and they fall from his thick skull like spray from the side of a battleship. The glaring absurdities that fall like April rain from his subsidized lips can be met by no flow of reason, can be stemmed by no plea for honor and integrity and decency. But I DO believe that if they would treat him as though he were a monkey performing on a stick; reply to his maunderings as though they were the brays of an asthmatic burro; do you know something? I don't believe he could take it. He might jump out the window; which would be preferable to having to throw him out. I'd give anything I own to see it done. Why not? Could anything be unfair in such a contest as the one in progress before the Security Council?

I read another ".r**."alorr*thit "orrr" fine, dignified old gentleman from New England sent to Mr. Austin. He said, "I urge you to cease temporizing with this unconscionable scoundrel and restore American self-respect by denouncing him and his whole mob of murdering gangsters in terms that will leave no doubt in anyone's mind as to where we stand." I wouldn't be surprised if these words express the feeling of the average American on this subject pretty near perfectly. If you can believe the things you hear every man saying on the street, on trains, in cars and busses, everywhere you go, then you must admit that the man in the street is sick of the insults of the Ruskies, and would like tp see them answered in language that they understand, rather than in diplo,matic jargon. The average American is a direct sort of person. He thinks automatically that plain talk is better than double-talk, and that "if the rock is hard, get hard with the rock."

I have listened with the keenest pleasure scores of times of late, while everyday Americans rise furiously to their feet to express their opinions as to what should be done. And these folks are up in arms, Brother, not only against the Communists abroad and in the United Nations. but
