THESE DAY $
 -B Y GEORGE F. SOKOLSKY
PEACE AT A PRICE


 It is clearly the decision of the Truman administration to maintain peace at almost any cost. This pol icy enjoys wide support in the Uni- ted States and is the consequence and aftermath, first, of a war In which the United States made the greatest sacrifice in her history and to no purpose or avail; second- ly. of a propaganda conducted un- der government auspices to make Soviet Russia, which had been re- garded as a wicked and evil govern ment. popular with the American people. Tn pursuit of the second horn of this confusion, the State Department got itself involved in policies so erroneous, so illogical so nugatory of American tradition, that it has become politically diffi- cult to find a formula for extrica- tion and correction.
 The Russians know all this. The Russian government has known about this longer and more accurat- ely than have the American people for since 1884, when the Harold Ware Espionage Cell was organized American agents of Soviet Russia have infiltrated the State Depart ment A partial exposure of this infiltration was made during the first Alger Hiss Trial; it is beinl continued in the second Alger Hiss ] Trial at which his lawyer is seek

TODAY'S VIEW-BY COLUMNIST

On October 24 a consul of the United States was arrested and thown into the Chinese Communist jail in Mukden Days went by and the U. s. could get no information about the arrest nor of the consul Finally the State Department called on 30 nations including Russia to aid the United States in securing the needed information and also obtain the consuls release.
 Today in the column, These Days, by George E. Sokolsky read the next to last paragraph Tn 1act the entire column leads up to the finale. While agreeing perhaps with Sokosky, it is easy to build up tension through reprsals and counter reprsals until a war would be inevitable. But the concience of hufnahty cries out against it. If going to do our pest to keep the cold war from getting out oI haha' we shall have to avoid provocative incidents whne up lding our rights Nevertheless the u- S' must no' Hose face as Sokolsky asserts Read the palasf" "p anyway

Hitherto. the clergy have not been particularly active one way or the other regarding the real es- tate lobby. But the other day, in Chicago. Kendall Cady, head of the Institute of Real Estate Manage ment. told his fellow realtors to get their clergymen to bring pres sure on Congress against rent con- trol. The insinuation was that the clergy could be used.
 Reactions from leading clergy men was prompt and unanimous and from all religions. Typical re- ply was that of Monsignor John OGrady of Washington, who said T haven't seen any minister III any city of this country who would be willing to join MT, Cady against rent control The clergy have the interest of the people at heart.
 No German Army
 While Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson was emphatically telling Europe that the United States would not rearm Germany, Field Marshal Montgomery, the British war hero, was quietly lobbying in Washington for German rearma- ment.
 In backstage conversations with U. s. military leaders, Montgom- sry argued that Russia has all ready organized and indoctrinated q German army in Prussia of 360,- 0O0 .ex-enemy soldiers. They have orders. he said, to take over all Germany the minute the western allies pull out of west Germany Therefore, he maintained that an opposing German army must be built up in the west
 Montgomery made this argu- ment to chief of staff Omar Brad ley-among others. But Bradley, ar irving in Germany. backed up Se- cretary Johnson that Germany would not be rearmed.
 Perhaps the biggest reason fol Johnson's stand boils down to this West German leaders have made 1t clear they win not fight in the next war
 They figure that in any clash be- tween Russia and the United Sat- es they would have everything tc gain hy sitting f out. If they fought Germany would be demolisaec again If they d1dnt taght the. might be in a position to recaPr--' the leadership Of EuEope-at-e- rhi war

 John L. Lewis directed almost three hours of oratory at Federal conciliator Cy Ching and George Love, President of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company, dur ing their secret meeting at Win chester, Va.
 Most of Lewiss oratory was ins pired by Loves objection to the willing and able" clause in new mine contract. This clause permits coal miners to stage a full or par tial strike if Lewis deems they are not willing or able to work.
 Love also demanded a new meth cd of administering the miners | pensions welfare fund; but all he got from Lewis was a tongue lashing

What we are asking for now is only the beginning Of program to get for the coal miners their just due" Lewis didn't specify what the ! program would be; nor would !, he spell out his current demands except retention of the willing anc able" clause and no changes fl pensions and welfare administra. tion. Hitherto Lewis has dominated the spending of funds from tht welfare fund.

It was particularly in the China policy of the United States that Soviet Russia was interested, and the fareastern division of the State Department was loaded down with pro-Russians, to say nothing of spies, as the courts and the Con gressional Committees are indicat- ing. At any rate, the State De- partment changed its far eastern policy, after such cld-timers, as Dr. Stanley Hornbeck, were kicked out.
 Into their place came a group oi men who favored a pro-Russian and adopted an anti-Chinese policy At the head, at least, was john Carter Vincent, who had had a long career in China. After he had been made minister to Switzerland in 1947, his place was taken by w. Walton Butterworth whose exper- fence in China has been negligible His first contact with China was January ?, 1946, when he was made Counselor of our embassy at Chung king, but by September l5, 1947, he was at the head of the Office of Far Eastern Affairs very rapid rise in the face of the existence of men in the State Department Of very wide experience.
 For instance, compare Butter worth'S career with that of Joseph E. Jacobs, who presided over a Chinese court when I was in that country. He entered our Foreign Service on November 5, 1915, as a student interpreter in China. From 1918 to 1925. he served as a judge in the Mixed Court, the language of which is several dialects of Chin ese. He served in Consulates in Eco chow, Shanghai, Yunnanfu. He was chief of the Office of Philippine Affairs in the State Department. What do you suppose he is doing now? He is our representative in Czechoslovakia and he has been looking after our interest in AL bania.
 I picked Jacobs because his name came to me. I might have picked a dozen of our far eastern experts who are scattered in far eastern affairs-or very httle--are making American policy.
 The result is our complete debacle in China, the conquest of that country by Soviet Russia, and the policy of humiliation and umbrage which the Chinese Communists are practising against us. The arrest of Angus Ward and William N. Stokes, our Consular officers in Mukden is now obviously due to desire to make the United States Hose face not only in China but throughout Asia. The object is to show that this country amounts to nothing that it defends neither its honor, its prestige, nor it's sons who represent it abroad It is a good propagands for the Russians. who would xii anyone who threw a spitball at Joe Stalin's picture.
 So we have that kind of peace and it is slowly adding up to war ] For if the Russians continue tt shame us, there will finally be al explosion of shame in this coun' try which no politician could quiet | There is danger in that.

THE ONLY THING

It is not necessary to take poll to
learn the attitue of the people regarding
the reckless driving of automobiles. You
may assert, without sending out ballot or
asking anybody's opinion, as the "scien-
tific polls were taken, that the people
favor careful driving.
What evoked the greatest volume of
applause during Fuller Warren's inaugural
address? When he declared, to promote
safety in driving, that he was going to stop
the roaming of livestock on Florida high
stop or curb drunken driving; that he was
going to conduct continuous campaign of
education and instruction in driving safely.
The applause accorded him when he
made those statements were highly pleas
ing to him, for he had been injured in an
every highway and hundreds of lateral
roads in the state of Florida, and is keenly
aware of the necessity ofs doing all I'm his
power to keep down traffic accidents.
That undertaking is most difficult.
because there are many persons who can
not resist the urge to "step on it" when
they see long stretch of highway ahead.
They do not realize that cars are coming
in the opposite direction, that some driver
may shoot out on the highway from
lateral road, that tire may blow out, and
that the faster a car is going the worse will
be the accident if car skids.
In Key West we have seen drivers
whizzing along at twice the limit set by
traffic regulations. Often we have wonder
ed if they were impelled by a case of
emergency, and moment later have seen
them few blocks ahead draw up to
sidewalk or stop in the middle of the street
to chat with friends or acquaintance.
That type of driver has no considera-
ton for fellow drivers. Nothing, in the
realm of reason, will stop him from going
along at breakneck speed The only thing
that will stop his speed craze and reckless
ness will be to be killed, as thousands with
his mental makeup, regarding driving.

IS RUSSIA CHANGING POLICIES?

It is almost useless to attempt to fore
cast Russian foreign policy and about the
best thing for the Western nations to do
is to settle down with strict attention to
theirpwn business.
Anyhow, the theory is being advanced
that recent moves by Moscow indicate
some change in Soviet policy. First, there
was the trade agreement with the anti
Communist Government of Italy, follow
ed by somewhat liberal trade agreement
with. .Czechoslovakia and the sudden de-
cision of Moscow that Russia is ready to
return three ice-breakers and twenty
eight frigates loaned by the United States
during the war.
80. The moves are developed by theorists
into, an indication that Moscow is getting
ready to settle in Eastern Europe. The
trade agreement with Italy is taken as adj
mission that the Communists cannot win
in that country and the pact with Czecho-
sloYakia is taken to indicate that Russia
has learned lesson from Marshall Tito,
who was driven to defy the Kremlin by
the harsh economic policy applied to
Yugo-Slavia.
The less time the Democratic nations
OF. the world waste on trying to decipher
the policy of Moscow, the better able
they will be to protect their own. inter-
ests. The rulers of Russia will keep the
peace or make war whenever they think
tits to their advantage. Recognizing this
fact the free nations of the earth will
maintain themselves in readiness to de-
fendtheir liberties, while, at the same
time; hoping that the occasion will not
arise, Intelligent statesmen, however, will
not depend on straws to indicate any
softening of the Communist attitude.

The only pure food product to be taxed
by the Federal government, margarine has
been forgotten" all too many years. A
strong united consumer fight for yellow
margarine reminded the last congress that
it was high time to wipe these discrimina-
tory taxes off the Statute books. And until
the final days before adjournment it look
ed as though these efforts would be sue
cessful. Due to lack of time, however, the
margarine tax repeal bill was shelved
along with other important legislation.
From all reports consumers are again
contracting their legislators, urging them
to vote for the removal of this taxation. It
is hoped that this time Congress will
listen to the voice of the people and cut the
tax ties which have bound margarine
since 1886.

LAST OF THE INSULT EMPIRE

remember Samuel insult, or the huge utili-
ty empire that he dominated some years
ago. There was time when the insult
regime led the pyramiding of holding
companies which crashed ANONYMOUSLY.
The end of the empire came the other
day when Federal Judge ordered two
tons of documents destroyed and sold as
scrap paper. They included old bonds,
debentures, stock certificates, vouchers,
receipts and cancelled checks.

that creditors, with claims of $4,000, 900,
