The price Of peace in Korea
may not have been officially In
timated as yet by Moscow, but it
begins to look as If the Russians,
who are the real power behind
the Communist Chinese, are
raising that price.
The Russians want the North
Atlantic Treaty dissolved or at
least those features abandoned
which have to do with rearma-
ment in Europe, and the use Of
military bases overseas for
American forces prohibited.
Unquestionably the Moscow
regime wants concessions in
Europe for the Communists,
too, believe that the situation is
global and that what happens
in Asia affects what happens in
Europe.
The Russians are not the kind
Of traders who announce what
cards they hold. They have from
the start of the long g-drawn-out
discussions at the Paris confer
ence Of the deputies Of the for
eign ministers insisted that
what they want is an overall
settlement. They have asked
that the above two points be put
on the program for discussion.
The United States. Great Brit
ain and France have indicated
that they do not care to discuss
these questions. The Russians.
on the other hand, are in no
hurry. They probably had an
idea that the u. N. members
which have forces in Korea
would sooner or later get tired
of the fray and that eventually
the price OF a cease fire" and
settlement in Korea would ap-
peal to their opponents.
Curiously enough. the official
view of the State Department,
as expressed by Secretary Ache
son to Congress, is just the OPP
posite-that America will con-
tinue the war in Korea until
the Communist Chinese get tired

argues that people are entitled

technicalities In these matters.
He expects to continue to

clusions, whatever they may be.
are stated In plain American.
One problem Of the subcom-
nittee has been that its coun-
sel. Edward McDermott, had to
return to Iowa to fulflll various
commitments Of his private
practice. An effort is underway
to get assistant counsel who can
wind up the matter.
Senator Buffers curious COM
ment on the Jonkel trial was
that "Mr. Jonkel Is the victim
Of an effort to make me appear
In an unfavorable light" Since
Mr.. Jonkel pleaded guilty. 1t
would appear that he victim
lied himself.
There is q great deal Of this
odd use Of the language around
the Capital as Senator Full
bright has often pointed out.
When the Joint Chiefs Of StaR
were effectively rebutting Gen.
eral Macarthur. Senator Taft

now been formalized by the
Senate. A subcommittee headed
by Paul Douglas Of Illinois has
been solemnly authorized to ex-
plore the question Of ethical
standards in Government and
make recommendations.
There is still q school which
believes that the old English
system Of hanging an Admiral

TO considerable folly and cor

and they agree to q cease fire. !"
It doesn't seem logical, based
on previous history, that the
Russians should allow their sat-
elite - Communist China to
wind up a struggle which, for
tunately for the Russians, has
been limited in scope SO that
no serious Russian interests are
jeopardized. The official policy
of the U. N. Is almost an as
surance on this-for 1t has been
decided not to push too close
to the Manchurian border. not
to conduct any aerial recon-
naissance over Manchurian ter
ritory, not to blockade any Chi
nese ports, and not to pursue
any planes that come from Man
churian bases.
With such assurances OF Q
limited war, the Russians need
give little concern to the war
being waged by Communist
China in Korea, whether 1t takes
five months or five years more.
The Russians apparently can
continue to supply the Commu-
mist Chinese with arms ana
equipment and volunteer"
planes. AS long as no Russian
soldiers are being used. the
chances are that Russian public
opinion is unaware OF any Sc
rious international crisis or
threat of war to them.
So far as the American people
are concerned. they are being
told that o war Of indefinite
duration in Korea is not as bad
as a general war. John Foster
Dulles in a speech a few days
ago spoke Of the present situa-
ton in annual tetms-he men
toned casualties Of 100000 o
year and an expenditure Of an
extra $40, 0,000. 100000 q year for
armament as things to which
the American people may have
to grow accustomed.
Another idea that has been
advanced is that to take positive
measures now to end the war

might bring Russia directly into
IL because China has O mutual
assistance pact with Moscow.
Many members Of Congress
have pointed out that this per-
mits q double -barreled inter-
probation. II the U. N. forces,
for instance, push the Com
hunist Chinese too hard In
Korea, the Russians may have
to 60 to their aid. So the OBJ
jective has to be rather aIn-
biguous-to kill as many Conn
munist Chinese as possible
without doing such an effective
job as to cause the Communist
regime to appeal to Russia to
come In and help. The very
statement Of their alternatives
reveals the preposterous nature
Of some Of the assumptions that
have governed the testimony OF
American officials recently be-
fore Senate committees.
The realism Of the whole
situation is to note that the
Russians are in an advantageous
position to negotiate an end Of
the Korean war by insisting on
concessions In Europe. just why
the Russians should fear a war
threat In the Far East and be
Indifferent to the threat of a
reorganized army under Eisen-
hover and military bases over
seas close to their own territory
and sources Of supply is not too
clear. It may be assumed that
the Russians started the Korean
war and the Asia turbulence to
have trading or bargaining
points against the pressure being
employed against them in Eu-
rope. Hence. II the Allies want
to get extricated from Asia,
they face the demands for a
trade In Europe. Whatever the
arguments for appeasement In
Asia, Russia doubtless sees them
as q sign Of weakness which in
vites q negotiated" peace In
Europe.

Postal Rates May Go Up
The Post Office Committee, of
which / am a member, recently
concluded extensive public hear
ings on increased postal rates.
After 10 days of hearing testi-
many from lit witnesses the
Committee entered executive ses-
sion to amend the bill befor send
ing it to the House.
Here are the major increases
in mail cost to date as agreed up
on by the Committee. The penny
post card is to be raised to 2
cents. Rates of newspapers and
magazines will be increased by
20% for each of the next three
years. However publications main
tanned by and in the interest of
non-profit religious, education,
scientific, philantropic, agricul-
tural, labor, veteran and frater-
nal organizations will not be af
fected. Third-clasS mail is i'll
creased from a minimum of lc
per piece to 11ac per piece.
These increases will reduce the
Post Office deficit by many mil
lions of dollars. Yet we must face
one thing very frankly. The So
called deficit" of the Post Office
Department is more than one
half billion dollars, but actually
very little of it is a true operat-
ing deficit. There are many hid
den subsidies for education and
public enlightenment, the airplane
business, the steamships and the
railroads. After these subsidies
have been taken care of, then the
net postal bill should be oppor-
toned among the users on basis
of cost.
