This Changing World
u. n. Diplomats Must Prove Mettle
In Any Peace Action Taken on Korea
aiken on Korea

Their reward must be a we'll
planned and determined action. to
assure peace, at least in that cor
ner of the world where they have
stopped the enemy with their
blood.
There can be no controversy
among the peaceful nations in re-
gard to what must be done in
Korea. The 38th Parallel was
established in i945 merely as a
dividing line between American
and Russian forces for the sole
purpose of accepting the Japan
ese surrender in an orderly man
ner.
People of One Nationality.
In reality there are no such
things as North and South Korea.
The people are of one nationality
with one language. the same Gus
toms and the same traditions.
They are even more homogeneous.
economically and politically, than
Western and Eastern Germany.
There should be no hesitation in
Wiping Out the so-called boundary
between North and South Korea.
Since the Russians and their
puppet government in the north
definitely showed their bad faith
when they forbade U. N. represent
atiyes-under pain of death-to
enter northern territory to super
wise elections, there seems to be
no question that the U. N. forces
should pursue their victory to the
northernmoSt boundaries Of Korea.
If the members of the U. N.
who approved the police action on
June 27 are unable to send siz-
able ground force to Korea, Amer
lean forces should be entrusted
with this mission.
The fears Of the timid souls
the diplomatS-that such action
might arouse the Kremlin con-
Spirators' suspicious that we in
tend to make Korea a military
base for our own purposes are as
usual unfounded. 1t does not
matter what Moscow and its sat
elites put out when their plans
have been unmasked and defeated.
OF course. the South Koreans
must not be permitted to act as
conquerors. New elections must
be held after the country Is COM
pletely pacified. But they must
be free. must embrace the whole
nation and must be properly
not by Soviet COM
missars but by competent repre-
sentatives of free countries in the
West and East.

The Governor of New York was
guilty of fragrant bad manners, 1t
is generally agreed. when he used
a reception for the delegates to
the United Nations Assembly, a
social event, as the occasion for
a bitter attack on Soviet Russia.
the Soviet delegates being among
the invited guests. Doubtless some
persons will laugh and others will
sneer at the suggestion, but 1t
might be an excellent thing if the
Governor could find it within him
self to make public admission OF
his error. What! Apologize to
those so-and-sos? That will be
the reaction of some.
Circumstances Differ.
Of course, the circumstances
are not exactly the same. The
President had right or perhaps
even a duty to chastise the Ma
rines if he believed what he was
saying. But in his momentary ir-
ritation he simply said more than
he really believed. So he took it
back. And then there was a
political consideration that he
couldn't ignore: Abusing the Ma
rines was bad politics. In any
case, he didn't lose any time in
putting himself right with the Ma
rines and the public.
The Dewey slip-up was differ
ent. 1t wasn't a sudden angry ex-
plosion. 1t was cool, calculated
or, as it turned out, miscalculated
conduct on the Governors part.
He chose the wrong place to be
rude to the Russians. no matter
how he may feel concerning the
visitors or how many Americans
may share his feeling. Good poll
tics, if nothing else. would seem
to dictate that he find a means
of setting himself right. Either
that or allow it to be thought
that he is still just a brilliant boy
governor, not yet prepared to per-
form in the big league.
The incident has been the more
unfortunate for the reason that

tent represents the liberal ele-
ment of his own party in his atti-

American officers and men have

More have been wounded.
There is as yet no official es-
innate of how many hundreds of
millions of dollars the police ac-
tion" has cost the American tax
payer. But 1t must be consider

lar mark.
Warning to AggressOrs.
All this sacrifice was worth
while, because it warned the ag-
gressors that America is willing
to meet aggression arms in hand
whenever she is compelled to do so.
But while the country and it's
armed forces have proved their
mettle, it is up to American dip
lomats and their associates in the
United Nations to prove them
selves as determined as have been
the fighting men of the United
States. South Korea and other ma
tions which Joined in the cam

They must not permit victory
to slip through their fingers. as 1t
did after vi day. Any attempt to
appease the Russians, who in

policy of expediency will win Mos
cows cooperation for world peace
would be foolhardy and treason
able.

On the Record
Lofty Generalities Sounded on Korea
Sure to Cause More Disillusionment

! Nations is to set up a United Ma
tions Recovery Force" to rebuild
the republic and bring it freedom
from want.
But the United States, since the
last World War. has poured some
billion dollars into South Korea
the results of which are now be-
ing destroyed by bombs and NOR
tars. And no matter whether OF
not we win, there will never be
secure peace or prosperity in
Korea unless or until the United
Korean nation is taken out oi
power politics.
Lofty Generalities.
This is precisely what diplomacy
would try to arrange: It would
at least try to neutralize and
pacify United Korea, thus re-
moving it as a potential military
threat to either mainland Asia or
disarmed Japan.
The attempt would give the
Russians something reasonable
and substantial to accept or re-
ject. and the American people
some reason to think we were
aiming at practical measures Of
world peace. But this would re-
|quire leadership capable of think
ing, not in terms of universal rosy
ideals but Of geographical and his
torical realities and Of cause and
result.
It is all very well for Mr.. Ache
son to advocate a peace" in
which "the barriers between the
hearts and minds Of men may
drop away and leave men free to
unite in brotherhood" But what
Jesus Christ and Mahatma Can
dhi have not yet accomplished by
more suitable means than "repel-
ling aggressors." and what is
not markedly noticeable even in
American elections-between. for
instance, Ayerell Hartman and
Senator Taft-Mr. Truman. and
Mr.. Acheson are unlikely to do
for the entire human race What
they might conceivably accom-
plish is to introduce q modicum
of common Sense--which can only
operate within the limitations of
possibility-into our international
affairs.
This columnist, at least, is sick
and tired Of the vague and lofty
generalities and Utopian prophe-
sizes which have been dished out
during two World Wars in lieu OF
any tangible propositions, eacn

in a worse position than before,
and each peace" deepening dis

garding the aims of that part OF
the U. N. fighting in Korea under
American leadership. Lacking is
even q definition of Korea" Mr..
Acaeson said, lust as Korea has
become the symbol Of resistance
against aggression. so can it be-
come also the vibrant symbol of
the renewal Of life"
Here. and in every other refer
ence to Korea, Mr.. Acheson ap-
parently refers to the Republic
of South Korea" For the armies
of North Korea are symbolic, not
of resistance" but of aggression.
But they are also composed of
Koreans.
Direct Cause Of War.
The slogan under which North
Koreans are fighting is the uni
fication of Korea. What is our
attitude toward this issue? Mr..
Acheson does not say. But q d.
rect cause Of the present war is
the division OF Korea, for which
American military leaders are
chiefly responsible. The division
lis an atrocity. irreconcilable with
liberty or prosperity. If this war
ends with South Korea vindicated
but with the country still divided,
1t viii have been fought in vain.
What are the leading facts
about Korea? The Korean Pc
ninsula. because of its geograph-
ical location. has historically been
a helpless pawn Of power politics.
Either 1t was a spearhead and
bastion Of Japan against the
mainland China and Russia) or
a mainland spearhead or bastion
against Japan. In the current
fighting in Korea this issue still
turks. In Russian and Soviet
Chinese propaganda. the United
States of America has replaced
Japan. and to Russians, who think
in terms Of power politics, the
issue is whether Korea. or part
of it. shall be added to the West
ern bloc calling itself the U. NJ
or whether it shall be added to
the Russian imperium, of which
Soviet China is now a part.
Mr.. Acheson's solution" is that
Korea" apparently, from all con-
texts meaning South Korea, be re-
established under the protection
of the United Nations (meaning
the Western bloc). The United

Grandma offered to show me the
only hotel.
Picking up the tiny canvas on
which she had been painting the
winter scene, the little girl led
the way. stopping now and then to
ask If ! knew about pigments.
When we reached the hostel
the child was cold, and I bought
her hot buttered pablum.
Grateful, the little girl I had
now started calling Grandma, :"

painted while knocking off hot
buttered pablum.

case and forgot all about them
until yesterday. when an art
dealer bought them for 100000.
They were signed-Grandma

Two years ago I was an immi-
grant.
But something that happened
made me want to be an American
citizen.
I was walking in the neighbor-
hood Of Columbia University,
wondering where my next club
sandwich would come from. when
a handsome. balding man with a
mid Western smile stopped me.
I'm Ike" he said. "Is there
anything can do for you?"
We went to the home of the
President of Columbia University
and the gentleman who had in
troduced himself simply as Ike"
told me all about the Normandy
invasion and showed me his SOL
dier'S suit. It had five stars on
the shoulders.
A month later I was looking at
a newspaper and a mans face
leapt out at me.
