were just getting into high gear. I
lost track of the number of courses
served, but conservatively there
must have been around 40. Here
are some Of the ones jotted down:
Picked duck liver, boiled duck
tongue with sauce, fried duck liver,
ducks feet with mustard sauce,
100-year-old eggs, mushrooms and
shrimps in sauce, shrimps with
sweet and sour sauce, "lion heads"
which consists Of five kinds Of meat
dumplings; cabbage soup with duck
bones, chicken velvet, bird nest soup
(flrst grade), chicken cut in eight
pieces and roasted, crab steak, sweet
walnut cream, chicken with pepper
durnplings filled with meat and
soup, cold fish and, of course, the
world-renowned Peking duck.
Deserves It's Name.
Some Of these dishes are as
delicious as any I ever tasted. The
Peking duck certainly deserves the
fame it has achieved. The ducks
are kept in a dark room and artifi-
cially fed until they have reached
the right age and plumpness. Then
they are broiled over an open fire
until the skin Is Drowned and crisp.

As you undoubtedly know, In
China no one has ever heard Of
chow nein or chop suey, or half a
dozen Of the other standard items
to be found on the menus Of Chinese
restaurants at home. With real Chi
nese food being as delicious as it is,
one wonders why the Chinese res
taurateurs at home ever concocted
the dishes they serve.
Chinese restaurants at home do
have one advantage, however. They
do furnish the customer with knives
and forks and spoons. Over here
you either eat with chopsticks or
don't eat. In trying to eat with
chopsticks here I have earned the
equivalent of the Purple Heart with
654 clusters. I have pierced my lips,
tongue and cheeks, all but jabbed
out my eyes, and on several occa-
sions caused my ears to raise their
arms In surrender.

There is precedent. however, in
the annals of the State Department
for forbidding the diplomats Of a
power with which we are. not Of
ficially at war to leave Washington
without special permission.
1912 Order Enforced.
In 1912 the Finnish Minister HAL
mar Procope and the staff of the
Legation were ordered not to move
beyond the limits of the District of
Columbia without first obtaining a
special permit from the Protocol
Division.
This order was strictly enforced
and neither Mr.. Procope nor his
staff, who had been very popular
figures while brave little Finland"
was withstanding Russia's attack in
1899, could accept an invitation to
nearby Virginia or Maryland with
out first obtaining permit in writ
ing from American authorities.
The Finnish diplomats, who were
engaged in neither espionage nor
subversive activities, complied sadly
with this order.
A similar step can be taken by
the State Department in regard to
the U. s. S. r. Embassy in Wash
ington. Not that any of its mem
bers ever accept invitations from
American citizens or venture to go
even on a sightseeing tour outside
the city limits. But as a gesture and
indication that we are willing to
give tit for tat, the Government
may answer the latest Soviet in
suit to our diplomats.

exhibited before being carved into
small pieces. It is eaten in this
manner: Small, delicate pancakes
are served along with the duck, and
the diner places a bit Of the duck in
the pancake, covers it with mys-
terious but magnificent sauce, along
with a bit Of sweet onion and Gu
cumber and a dab Of soy sauce, rolls
it up and eats it with his fingers.
Some of the dishes, however. I'll
be able to struggle along without
when I get home. For instance, the
duck feet with mustard. Frankly, I
would much rather have straight
mustard. Bird nest soup Is another
thing that my palate will never cry
for.
There are three grades of bird
nest soup. The nests are made by
swifts and the top grade comes from
the original nest made by the swift.
When the bird is robbed of this nest
he makes a second one, but doesn't
do 1t with so much care, being a
trif1e sore about having been robbed
of his original home. When the sec
ond one is taken away from him the
swift really gets sore, and slaps to-
gether nest No. 3 with any old thing
he can find. He'll use old bits of
cloth, pebbles, and coarse straw. No
chef, no matter how talented, can
make third-grade nests as palatable
as f1rst-grade nests. AS a result,
there is great difference in price
in bird nest soup.

Senator Taft cannot be taken
lightly. On sheer merit and char

Senator. An isolationist. he has
told friends he may switch to the
Foreign Relations Committee. now
safely held by internationalists OF
both parties. In this field. Gov.
Dewey already faces a fight with
House leaders.
Senator Taft is one Republican
who will stand up to Mr.. Dewey or
anybody else. He would be even
more formidable If he were not a
rugged individualist who finds team
work difficult. II Senator Taft
doesn't come into camp, Ohio must

Indiana Asked Early.
For about 48 hours at Phila-
delphia, Representative Halleck
thought he was Vice President on
the Dewey ticket. The Dewey ex-
PLANTATION is that no commitments
were made to him and that the i'm
mutable facts of history and geog-
raphy eliminated him. Neverthe-
less, they realize how it feels to
him. This is their story, told more
in sorrow than in anger.
The flying wedge of Messrs.
Jackie, Brownell and Sprague, nat
urally, tackled Indiana's % votes
early in the convention. Come in
now, they urged, we've got a lot Of
your votes anyway, and the sooner
you come the greater our gratitude.
Shortly, Representative - Halleck
himself appeared. He said candidly
that he was interested in the vice
presidency.
The triumvirate promptly replied
that Mr. Dewey had made no commit
ments and would not make any.
What they did do then was to dis
cuss the vice-presidential picture
and Mr.. Halleck's place in it SYM
pathetically. They agreed he was
geographically okay, nationally
known and experienced.
Other possible prospects were
mentioned, including principally
Gov. Green Of Illinois and Senator
Bricker Of Ohio. AS Senator Bricker
had run once, 1t was suggested he
might not want it. Gov. Green,
they said, was probably going to

This Changing World
US. Weighs Plans to Retaliate to Soviet
Ban on Movement of Our Diplomats

Of our diplomatic and consular mis-
sions in Russia never have been free
to travel. In order to leave the
Soviet capital all of them, from
Ambassador to lowest ranking clerk,
had to obtain first a special pass
port from the Russian foreign Office.
Once the passport was granted they
were given escorts" wherever they
went, so that they met with no
"difdculties" on their trip.
These "secorts" were MVD agents,
who were more interested in pre-
venting the honored guests from
making contact with nonofficial
Russians than in facilitating their
movements.
Right to Travel in Past.
In the past American diplomatic
couriers had the right to travel from
Moscow to the various consulates on
Russian territory. The secret serv-
ice agents who followed them on
their long trips from Moscow to
Vladivostok reported that they
talked with travellers and that these
talks were not along strictly official
lines. that is, that everything was
lovely in Sovietland.
The Kremlin particularly objected
to the couriers answering questions
about the mode of life in the United
States. Their answers, 1t seems, did
not tally in any respect with the
official propaganda directed against
capitalism. Many Of the Russian
conversationalists later were severely
grilled by the MVD.
The edict issued by the Soviet
Foreign Office restricting completely
travel of foreigners in Russian ter
satellites are exempt,
considered in Washing
ton official quarters as merely an
other indication that Moscow wishes
to break of all relations which
might hold the possibility for peace
full settlement Of the East-West Con-
flict. Russia took the first step in
order to mark the point with other
nations that the U. S. S. R. is not
concerned about the friendship of
the Western nations and always
takes the initiative by siapping them
first.
The new order does not alter the
de facto situation in the least. But
1t gives our diplomats another proof
that the U. S. S. r. Is determined
TO continue the cold war until such
time as the small group which has
in its hands the worlds destiny de-
cices to change 1t into something
far more dangerous.

On the Record
Disarmament of Every Nation But One
Held Only Sure Way to Maintain Peace

announces that the atomic bomb is
no secret and that other states will
have it, including the U. S. s. r.,
how are we, for our part, to know
whether these are complying?
A law that provides no instru-
ments for ascertaining whether 1t
is being observed, no courts to adju-
dicate 1t and no punishments for
offenders, is not law but plati-
tude. And what Mr.. Vishinsky ap-
parently Is recommending is the
disarmament of the United States
of America only, not the disarma-
ment Of the world, including the
U. s. 8. r.
The whole world would like to
hear the Russians say exactly how
they propose to abolish war. Exact
ly what would they prohibit? Ex-
actly how would they ascertain in
fringements? Exactly what do they
propose for enforcement?
But let us, by all means, stick to
this subject: It is either enforce
able law or international anarchy.
All other questions are subsidiary.

two opinions. Divided war-making
power means war. The only way
peace ever has been obtained and
maintained within any nation Is by
the disarmament Of everybody but
one, that one being the body charged
to enforce the judgments Of the
law. The only way peace ever will
be maintained between nations is
the same way.
Must Provide Controls.
There must be a law against war
and preparation for war. That law
must prohibit the manufacture Of
all categories of mass destruction
weapons; 1t must set quotas for
other weapons; 1t must outlaw con-
scription; it must provide control
over the fiow OF the raw materials
essential to the creation Of mass de-
struction weapons; 1t must establish
courts before which individuals ac-
cused of infringement can be tried
and 1t must establish punishment
for the guilty.
Otherwise there will be another
war. That war will end by the con-
queror imposing total disarmament
on the defeated and establishing, In
fact, a. hegemony over the globe
We then will have lasting interna-
tional peace, but only after an
atomic war of incalculable horror,
destruction and mania. which will
make the subsequent policing OF the
world all but impossible and end
every vestige Of liberty.
It is to this issue that the United
States should address itself at all
times. Mr.. Vishinsky is weakest OF
all on the atomic issue. Though he
repeatedly calls for the prohibition
Of atomic weapons, he rejects the
American control plan. In the
Atomic Commission the Russians
never rejected the principle of con-
troll. But they also, as the pub
lished United Nations record shows,
never came out with counterpropo-
sails including control measures.
Though Mr.. Vishinsky said in his
Friday speech that the American
atomic plan provided no truly in
ternational organ to inspect atomic
activities" but rather IAN Ameri-
organ," he introduced
no argument in proof Of this bald
statement, nor did he offer any
other control plan which would be,
in his opinion, truly international" ."
He merely restated the Russian po-
sition:
First, prohibit atomic weapons
and then establish international
control, while the Americans (and
all the rest of the world except the
U. S. s. r. and its satelliteS have
held that prohibition, control and
enforcement IRE integral, as indeed
they are in every law.
Not Law but Platitude.
Suppose the U. N. and the United
States of America should accept Mr..
Vishinsky's proposal, and rule that
no more atomic weapons should be
manufactured and all stockpiles de-
stroyed. What guarantee has Rus
sia that the United States of Amer
lea would comply? How does he
propose to see to 1t that we do?
And when, in the same breath, he

Talk With Dewey Blocked.
Mr.. Halleck said he wanted te

ination that might give rise to rumol
or later misunderstanding. They EN-.
phasized that this policy was being
impartially applied to everybody ano
they repeated their mo commit
ments" position.
Mr.. Halleck seemed satisfied. In
diana came in early and Represent
ative Halleck seconded Gov. Dewey's
nomination. In view of later de-
velopments 1t is suggested that per-
haps it now seems to him that the
refusal to give him a personal show
down with Gov. Dewey was the gim-
mick that licked him. 1t is conceded
it might even seem to him now, in
his disappointment, deliberately
tricky.
But no such showdown was ever
possible because Gov. Dewey had
determined not to have any advance
commitments of any kind.
Mr.. Dewey was nominated. The
skull practice with party leaders on
the vice presidency then began.
The ground covered by Mr.. Hal
leck and the triumvirate was re-
covered. Senator Taft, consulted by
telephone, put In Gov. Bricker's
name after all. Gov. Green had
publicly cringed to Col. Mccormick
and, anyway, his keynote flopped.
Representative Halleck was hotter
than a pistol.
Floor Fight Avoided.
But new developments arose. Mr..
Stassen was out as President but
his ardent supporters were threaten
ing to nominate him for Vice Presi-
dent, especially If reports proved
true that Gov. Dewey. proclaiming
himself an internationalist, had
cynically traded second place to the
isolationist Halleck.
Powerful newspapers clamored
against Mr.. Halleck's nomination as
a Grass deal, an unnecessary COM
promise with the reactionary House
leadership.
Conferees in the Dewey suite
agreed that it would be criminal
to open up a floor tight between
the young, progressive Stassen fol-
lowing and the House faction SYM
bolized by Mr.. Halleck. These party
differences, 1t was thankfully noted,
had so far been suppressed in the
convention.
A voice suggested Gov. Warren.
At this point, the Dewey version.
hitherto so factual, falters. Nobody
can identify that voice. Undoubr-
edly, 1t was Dewey-inspired.
A telephone call to Senator Know
land, Gov. Warren's campaign man.
ager, brought the reply that he
might be interested under certain
conditions. 1t was all over. The
Californian was too obviously a
natural for dispute.
Mr.. Dewey himself telephoned
Gov. Warren and made the final
arrangements. He telephoned Rep
resentative Halleck Immediately
afterward and reviewed the situa-
ton with him.
1t is easy for experienced politicos
to understand how Mr.. Halleck is
able to believe that the machina-
tions Of men and not political re-
alities beat him. They hope time
will take care Of 1t.
