Positive Peace Moves Seen Under Way
AS Congress Haggles Over Arms Aid

vital long-range peaceful aims and
find ourselves engaged instead in
a gigantic armaments race"
He later added:
Although we are now obliged
to fight this cold war. our su-
preme aim must be to bring it
to q peaceful end. This cannot
be done If our efforts are aimed
solely at opposing and containing
Russia. Ultimately the fate Of
America and the world depends
on the success Of the United Ma
tions as a world organization in
cluding Russia and her satellites %
Another recent development
bearing closely on this objective
is the appointment Of a special
subcommittee Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee to be-
gin public hearings, beginning in
the next session, on the numer-
Gus pending resolutions looking to
strengthening of the United Ma
tions. These range from creation
Of an Atlantic Union with a single
parliament and joint defense sys-
tenn for Western European ma
tions in the Atlantic pact with us
as a starter for eventual world
union. to a declaration that our
foreign policy should be directed
toward eventual world federation.
Senator Thomas. Democrat, of
Utah. chairman Of the subcom-
mittee. pointed out that this was
the same procedure adopted by
the Foreign Relations Committee
in public hearings before the end
Of the war which resulted In the
declaration by Congress in favor
Of an international organization
that developed soon thereafter in
the United Nations.
There is now going on in New
York a conference Of scientists
sponsored by the Un.ged Nations
over 400 Of them from all parts
Of the world-to plan for an in
ternational conservation program
to meet the problems Of an in
creasing world population and the
continuing waste Of natural re-
sources to support 1t. This Is an
acute problem whose magnitude
and seriousness are too little rec
ognized.
This is Just one example of
essential cooperative effort which

pie. They are turning their at

Nations was created in San Fran
cisco four years ago. to means OF
strengthening that organization
50 that it can carry out its original
functions.
These include not only the pri-
mary essential Of world disarma-
ment, removing the guns from any
nations tempted to be bellieose.
but also the lessening Of those
tensions and jealousies that cause
wars. These latter are engen-
dered by lack of resources. ina
bility to trade freely, shortage OF
food and the essentials as well as
the comforts Of life. About this
second problem the United Ma
tions is doing a great deal. quietly
and without much notice, through
its various agencies.
Immediate Developments.
The most immediate develop
ment In Congress is Introduction
by Senator Smith, Republican. Of
New Jersey. Of proposed amend
ment to the foreign military aid
bill to restate "our fundamental
American policy of world peace" :"
It declares that our policy con-
tinues to be for creation Of a

and for agreement among nations

quate and dependable guarantee

This Changing World
Washington Fears Russia May Seize
Finland After Resistance to Red Strikes

(which gave Moscow important ad-
vantages and security, the Firms
were permitted to have more in
dependence than any Of Russia's
immediate neighbors. The Helsinki
government headed by Prime Min
lister Karl-AuguSt Fagerholm, Is
socialistic but strongly deter
mined to keep Finland out Of
Communist clutches.
The Fagerholm government has
lived up scrupulously to its repa-
rations obligations, and the Fin
nish people, by hard work and
intelligent initiative. have man
aged to improve their economy to
the point where the country is
much better off than some West
ern European nations which have
been helped with American
money.
The Firms have carefully
avoided any international politi-
cal entanglements, realizing that
they were too close to the U. s. s. r.
to permit themselves to make the
slightest move which might be
considered offensive in Moscow.
Strike Spreads.
The strike which started last
Thursday in the Kemi AREA
great lumber section of the coun-
try-Was not UNEXPECTED by the
Finnish government, which had
received information that the
Communist leaders were ready to
start a movement to seize power.
But not even the Helsinki OIL
, cials know yet how far Moscow
has involved itself in this strike,
which has spread to other areas
and embraces some 10000 work.
ers at the present time.
The Finnish Federation of
Trade Unions has disavowed the
strike and as a patriotic move to
strengthen the hand Of the gov
ernment has threatened to expel
the strikers unless they return to
work. Normally this would be a
sufficient action to end the strike.
The great question now is wheth-
er the underground Red leaders
will ask for Russia's support.
Officials, in Washington believe
that Russia will respond af1irma-
lively if it has decided to answer
the Atlantic Pact as it answered
the Truman Doctrine and the
Marshall Plan. It is agreed in
American and foreign diplomatic
circles in Washington that the
international situation will be-
come extremely strained If Russia
carries out a coup IN Finland at
this time.
The Western governments are
said to have decided to bring the
Finnish case before the Security
Council Of the q. N. If the Eager
holm government falls before the
Red attack-either by an internal
coup or direct Russian interven-
ton. Such an action is recognized
as being futile. since Russia can
veto any action the Security
Council might want to take. But
| it could be the beginning OF a
crisis which would have far
reaching repercussions.

FlTe anu, ''
while my guide and the diamond
sorters were rushing for an ex-
tinguisher. scoop up a handful Of
the stuff on the table and run,
not walk, to the nearest exit.
Had I not known that the dull,
soapy- looking pebbles on the table
were diamonds, I would not have
been attracted to them. A dia-
mond until it is polished and cut
is nowhere as pretty as an agate
marble. Something else learned
here in Kimberley, which as every
one knows is the diamond center
Of the universe, was that a dia-
mond is not a precious stone In
the strictest sense of the word.
Sale Is Regulated.
There are so many that If the
sale of them were not regulated,
and all that could be mined were
turned loose on the market, every
shopgirl could buy a handful Of
them for half Of what she makes
a week, and become a Peggy Hop
kins Joyce overnight.
The first thing that a visitor to
Kimberley is taken to see is the
Big Hole-the original workings
Of the old Kimberley mine, where
it all started in 1867. The Big
Hole. abandoned now, was once a
farm. owned by two Beers, Die
derrick Arnoldus De Beer and
Johannes Nicolaas De Beer, and
it had cost them a thousand dol
lars. They thought they were
getting much the better Of it
when they sold their farm to the
diggers for what was to them the
fortune of $4,000.
Smart boys, Diederick and
Johannes. They had barely got
ten out Of the city limits in their
oxcarts before the diggers. thou
sands of them, started pulling
diamonds out Of the ground. Be-
fore the Big Hole had finished its
yield Of more than s500,00O 900
worth Of engagement rings, stom-
achers, and tiaras had come out
Of the old farm.
Process Described.
All the diamonds Of Kimberley
now come from mines, sunk deep
in the ground. If you didn't know
that the blush ground contained
diamonds, you'd feel that you
were in a coal mine. When the
earth is taken to the surface it
is pulverized. then passed over
giant pulsators. then washed and
sifted, and. finally, run over q
machine containing grease to
which the diamonds adhere. Il
don't guarantee this to be tech
nically correct description OF
what a diamond undergoes, but
that is the way it looked to me.
After all, I majored in tuba play
ing, not engineering or min
eralogy.)
Unlike the natives who work IN
the johannesburg gold mines, the
present-day diamond mine work
ers are not allowed to leave their
compounds until their terms OF
service are finished. And before
they head back for their homes
in the wilds. they are X-rayed to
see if they have lunched on dia-
monds before saying farewell.
There is only one part OF the
Union of South Africa which Is
barred to the public. That Is on
the northwest coast Of the Cape
near the mouth OF the
Orange River and particularly
around Alexander Bay. Diamonds
are found in abundance in the
water there, washed down by ero-
sion. Nature has polished them,
and they can be seen cleaning IN
the streams. The workers are
kept behind barbed wire. and
there is no such thing as a visitor.

give its much-awaited reply to
the Atlantic Pact by grabbing the
still independent border state.
It is recalled here that in reply
to the Truman Doctrine Of March,
1947-in which the United States
undertook to preserve the sover-
eighty of Greece and Turkey
the Soviet Union organized a Com
munist coup in Hungary. convert
ing that country into full-f1edged
Russian puppet.
MoscoW's answer to the Mar
shall Plan was the seizure OF
Czechoslovakia and its transfor-
nation into a vassal Of the Polit-
buro. Now that the Atlantic Pact
has been ratified by all the parlia-
ments of the signatory nations and
the arms program appears set tor
approval-if on a smaller scale
than was requested-the question
arises as to what Russia will DO
to show her opposition in practi-
cal fashion. The unexpected de-
velopments in Finland may be the
answer to this diplomatic question.
Ever since the end Of the war,
when Russia was given a free
hand in Finland, most observers
have wondered at the relative
leniency shown by the Politburo
toward the little republic which
twice in less than five years dared
to oppose Moscow.
Troops Kept In Finland.
It is true that Russia hoped
to cripple Finland by exacting
heavy reparations for Fin1and's
boldness in opposing the Soviet
aggression in 1899 and for having
later joined Hitler in the war
against the U. s. S. r. Russia also
established herself firmly In Fin
land by obtaining the right to
keep a strong garrison in Perk-
kala, in Southern Finland where
Russia acquired certain exclusive
rights. The presence OF these
troops alone gave Russia assur-
ance that whenever the situation
required she could take over Fin
land without trouble. particularly
since the Finnish army had been
restricted to a scantily armed po-
lice force.
But outside of these safeguards.
