Suspicious Of Lawmakers Risinq
Truman Urged to Order Aeheson to Hold Consultations
With Congress Members on Far Eost Peuce Decisions
Constantine Brown:

President Truman is being
urged by a number Of Democrats
in the Senate and House to or
der Secretary Of State Acheson
to consult fully with Congress
men Of both parties before max
ing any final decisions in con-
nection with cease-fire proposals
in Korea.
It is true that constitution
ally Congress has nothing to do
with these negotiations or with
any agreement resulting from
the suggestions OF the Soviet
delegate to the U. NJ, Jacob
Malik. But since our diplo-
macy depends greatly on appro-
priations from Congress, Mr..
Truman has been advised that
it might be better if Congress
were not by-passed. At present
there is an intense dissatisfac-
ton on the Hill with the con-
duct Of our foreign relations.
The statement of the Secre-
tary of State before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee last
Tuesday that we are prepared
to consider cease-flre proposal
at the 38th Parallel-in other
words to accept an "as you
were" settlement of the Korean
war-was not taken kindly by
a large group of Senators and
Representatives of both parties.
The criticism Is still some
what subdued, because Congress
realizes that the Soviet pro-
posal may be only a trick and
consequently does not warrant a
positive stand on the part of the
legislators. But privately a num-
Der of leading members of both
parties are asking the ominous
question: Are we heading to-
ward another Munich? Will the
European governments, which
accepted the Munich disaster
IL years ago and now are our
allies, force the Administration
to accept appeasement in Asia?"
Because of past performances
Of our Government at Que
bee. Teheran. Yalta and Pots
dam, where firm commitments
We're made handing over to the
U. s. S. r. large portions Of Eu-
rope and Asia without the knowl-
edge and consent Of the Amer
lean people, members of Con-
gresS now are suspicious Of every
diplomatic move in which the
State Department is involved.
They feel that henceforth they
must be consulted before any
commitment is made.
The administration now has

State to make no final move
regarding the cease-fire sug-
gestion from Moscow say that
this does not mean jamming up
Mr.. Acheson'S diplomacy. But
they feel definitely that the
country will not be satisfied with
the usual behind closed doors"
agreements which the govern
ments of the United Nations in
volved in the Korean war may
decide to make.
Appeasement in any shape or
form is certainly highly unpopu-
lar in this country these days.
There has been too much Dip
lomatic double-talk, say these
Congressman. in the past when
all the ideals for which we
fought World War II were aban-
doned for the sake of temporary
expediency. The American peo-
pie have borne the brunt of
the heavy fighting in Korea.
Any cease-fire which would
precede an actual settlement of
the problems which arose from
last years aggression should be
cleared with Congress, for the
sake Of national unity, before it
becomes effective.

ing nature is contemplated
That Is so unless we should have
some notion of separating the
Red army from the Red govern
ment.. and ! doubt that anybody
has any such notion.
Any temporary cease-fire
agreement will be entered into
by the parties on both sides as
basis for considering O perma-
nent cease-fire agreement. I
don't know, but it seems hardly
likely the Chinese will ACCEPT
recognition for the one unless
they obtain assurance they are
to have recognition for the
other. Can our negotiators say,
I'VE will recognize you just for
this purpose. For the larger
purpose. we will recognize the
Chang government" Could they
and expect to get even q tenn
porary truce?
So it may be that we have
sort of got ourselves over a
barrel in this matter. Pushed
by the Republican opposition
and by the loud unofficial pro-
tagonists Of the Chang regime,

followed almost Immediately by
an address In the same vein
delivered by Warren Austin,
American Ambassador to the
U. ~. Both men officially stated
that the United States was not
asking for a military decision
in order to unity Korea, and
that negotiation by diplomacy
OF the political questions and
even the basic misSion-restor-
ing peace in North Korea
would be satisfactory. This
viewpoint was then further en-
phasized by a remarkably COIN
cidental set Of expressions by
three witnesses at the Mac
Arthur hearings Secretary Of
Defense Marshall, Gen. Bradley
and Gen. Collins.
All these witnesses echoed the
line taken by the Secretary of
State, namely, that a military
decision was either not going to
be pursued or that it was i'm
practical. incidentally, Gen.
Collins gave the impression that
a military victory in Korea was
impossible somewhat sur
prising viewpoint at the time.
The sudden emphasis on the
part OF all our high officials on
the fact that the U. N. forces
were no longer to fulfil their
original mission to clear Korea
OF all aggressor forces, but would
accept a stalemate on the 38th
parallel for purposes OF discus
sion Of political" objectives.
undoubtedly appealed to the
Russian government as a def
mite plan from which the Ameri.
can Government would not back
away because of its explicit pub
lie statements.
So today the Kremlin, having
listened to the pleas Of the
American Government. for a
cease-fire and a political nego-
tiation, is naturally anxious to
conclude the terms of the armis-
tice. after which. to be sure,
the political negotiation may 60
on for months or years. Unless
there are ironclad guarantees
against recurring aggression
American troops are not likely
to come home soon.

Is part of the changing social

One aspect of the situation

itself in some places through
legislation calling for full dis
closure Of the public assistance
rolls.

such disclosure in the Federal
law, hence Mr.. Ewing has no

Peace Bids Initiated by y. S.
Administration Has Been Sending Feelers to Moscow
And Getting Some in Return From Russians
David Lowrence:

Just why there should be so
much surprise manifested here
publicly by American Govern
ment officials that Russia is
agreeable to a cease fire" in
Korea is somewhat of a mystery.
For the truth is the Washing
ton administration has been
sending peace feelers to Moscow
recently, and has been getting
some peace feelerS from Russia,
too.
The surprise, Of course. is
that Russia did anything about
it after the preliminary ex-
changes, or that it acted so
suddenly after getting the feel
erS.
What is most important to
ascertain some day is why the
United States Government took
the initiative In recent weeks to
bring about the cease fire" and
what was said In addition con-
cerning possible terms Of agree
ment.
The White House recently
denied any knowledge of peace
moves. even though stories about
it were widely published just in
advance of Jacob Malik's public
pronouncement. Such denials
are to be expected. Whenever
there is any high-level negotia-
ton in progress it is always
possible to deny that anything
has happened, because so often
nothing materializes in the end.
The channels of communica-
tion between the American
Government and the Soviet
government directly and indi-
rectly have been rather numer-
Gus. Some negotiations at one
time were carried on through
the government of India and
its diplomatic representative at
Peiping. On another occasion
the Swedish diplomatic repre-
sentative in Peiping was re-
ported to have taken UP certain
aspects Of the Korean negotia-
tion. The Russian Ambassador
to the United States who left
here . few weeks ago is be-
lieved to have carried back to
Moscow some important infor-
nation bearing on a possible
settlement Of the Korean war.

We May Be Over a Barrel
How DO We Recognize Red China for the Purpose
OF Ceose-Fire and Not for Permanent Peoce2

Everybody you talk with hopes
that the Russian proposal for a
cease-f1re in Korea may lead to
peace in that bloody patch of
earth. Nearly everybody doubts
that it will.
There Sre all sorts of reasons
Tor the doubts. There is the
question Of Russia's, and pre-
sumably Red China's, purpose.
Is the motive a sincere desire
for permanent peace or merely
a desire for breathing space in
which to develop the strength
for renewed aggression? What
guarantees will be given or can
be given that any armistice ar
ranged now will not be violated
at the first propitious moment?
Once over that hump, what
kind OF long-term agreements
can be made in line with
United Nations commitments
concerning Korea--namely. the
protection Of South Korea's
sovereignty and the eventual
reunlf1cation of all Korea?
Those are some of the ques-
tlons we naturally ask of the
Russians. the Red Chinese and
the North Koreans and it won't
be easy for them to furnish us
answers that will satisfy us.
On the other hand, looking
again beyond the possible ar
mistice, there are questions the
enemy will ask us, meaning the
United States and the United
Nations. Russia's spokesman.
Malik, didn't raise these oues-
tions in the statement that
touched off the present dis
cussion. but they will be raised
Immediately the problem of
permanent peace is taken UP.
They are questions that simply
cannot be escaped.
One. and it is the basic ques-
tion is: What degree Of recogni-
tion win the United Nations andf
or the United States give the Red
China government? It has to
be recognized for the purposes
OF arranging a truce. Our MILL

Public Relief Rolls Increusino
Governors Of Stotes AeuteIy Aware of Growing Burden
AS Allowances Fail to Keep Pace With Initiation

Federal Security Administra-
tor Oscar Ewing had nothing
whatever to do with the Senate
furry over a $3.50 million in
crease in the Federal share of
State payments to the needy
aged. the blind and dependent
children. He wasn't surprised
however that Majority Leader
Mcfarland was able to get sub
stantial bipartisan and con-
servative sponsorship for the
proposal.
Studies put before Mr.. Ewing
recently showed that even in
this era Of full employment and
high wages. the public assist
ance rolls are steadily increas-
ing. Nor have the individual
allowances by any means kept
pace with the rapid march of in
f1ation.
Noting. for example, that the
two Mississippi conservatives,
Senators Eastland and Stennis,
were among the sponsors of
the projected increase, Mr..
Ewing recalled one chart which
showed that SOB out of every
1000 people over 65 in Missis-
slppi were receiving some form
OF public assistance. The per-
centage in some other States
was even larger. he said.

asked Congress to appropriate
the enormous sum Of $8.5 bill
lion in foreign aid funds to con-
tinue economic and military
assistance to the Marshall Plan
countries and to the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
There is no question that the
economy-minded Congress will
scrutinize carefully not only this
gigantic amount of money to be
allotted to cur allies and friends
all over the world, but also how
the money will be spent.
Mr.. AcheSon and other adj
miniStration witnesses will be
required to make complete ex-
pose of our foreign policy which
many members of both Houses
disapprove. It would be unwise
under these circumstances, for
the State Department to further
antagonize the legislators by
going ahead with plans, con-
cocted by American and other
United Nations diplomats, for
a se-f1re in Korea without
first consulting Congress.
The hearings before the Rus
sell Committee which investi-
gated the dismissal Of Gen. Mac
Arthur have brought to light
some painful instances of dip
lomats interfering with actual
military strategy. A majority of
the committee is convinced that
If it had not been for such inter-
ference with military strategy

Korea might have been totally
different.

American Ambassador Kirk has
visited the Russian Foreign Of
ice from time to time recently
without disclosing the purpose
or results of his visits.
The impression which pre-
walls here Is that the peace
feeler" business Is never done
in writing, but orally, and that
when Mr.. Gronayko was in Paris
until a few days ago working at
the Deputy Foreign Ministers
Conference, the opportunity pre-
gented itself for some interest
ing conversations between him
and the diplomatic representa-
tives of various nations. These
indirect approaches. however,
did very little more than pave
the way for the direct ap-
proaches, It is Mr.. Gromyko
who now is in Moscow talking
to Ambassador Kirk, and it was
Ambassador Kirk who was in
Paris recently for a visit.
It may be stated positively
that the United States Govern
ment and the Russian govern
ment were in communication
about a possible cease-fire in
Korea before Jacob Malik made
his public statement.
The United Nations members
have. Of course. been pressing
the State Department for a
settlement because most of
them have been anxious to see
American armed forces relieved
OF their Far Eastern task SO as
to concentrate on the defense Of
Europe.
The effectiveness of all these
approaches to Russia were not
known in advance and there
were people in Washington
who thought that some time
might elapse before Russia would
do anything about them. In
that sense, the Moscow decision
last week to permit a public
discussion of a cease-fire pro-
posal was a surprise as to the
timing only.
The real tip-off to Russia
came from Secretary of State
Acheson himself last month
just after Gen. Macarthur was
dismissed. It came in the Sec
retary's speech to the U. S.
