problem. Our country, which has
risen to a position OF unprece-
dented power and eminence in
the world, is seeking to use that
power in such way as to help
bring about q peaceful tnterna-
tional order. This means that
we have to be doing two things
at once: While we move ahead
in our efforts to build the kind
of a world in which we can all
live together peacefully and in
common helpfulness, we are at
the same time protecting our
selves from being over-run by
the tyranny which is run from
Moscow. I have sometimes COM
pared this two-pronged effort as
being like the way our ancestors
had to have some men drilling
and keeping watch from the
blockhouses. while others went on.
tlll1ng the fields.
I'm a sense, we are standing
with one foot In the world of
our hopes for q future order
among nations. and the other
foot in the world of power. Both
of these are part Of the present
reality. Unless we are strong
enough-we and the other free
nations-to prevent the Soviet
rulers from extending their con-
troll over the entire world, then
we shall never have the chance
to help build the kind of world
we all want. =
There are many terrible
heartbreaks in this course of
action. but there is no easier
way to a peaceful world. Your
son asks in his letter whether
Korea proves anything. That he
is heartsick over the loss Of life
and the destruction In Korea is
right and good, and reflects what
must be the instinctively humane
feelings Of good men everywhere.
But I hope he will come to see
that Korea proves-has already
proved-a great deal. In Korea,
the men and the nations who love
freedom and who believe In the
United Nations. have made 1t
clear that they are willing to fight
for these things. BY standing
firm against aggression in Korea,
we are doing our best to prevent
the world from following the
road which led US. twice in re-
cent times. to world war. The
heroic sacrifices which are now
being made in Korea may
enable the world to pass through
this time Of hostility and tension
without the catastrophe, the
greater destruction and the i'm
measurably greater sacrifices of
a world conflict.
II know that these thoughts I
have written to you will not ans
wer all the questions which you
have touched on in your thought
full letter. or which your son has
mentioned. These are hard and
complicated problems, for which
there are no easy answers, and
which a short letter could not deal
with adequately. What I am con-
cerned about is not that your son
should feel that I. or the admin
istration, or the Government is

right on any particular issue. It
is good that he should question
whether the steps we are taking
are right. or are wrong. But what
is important is that he feels. and
that all our young people feel, q
strong faith in the validity and
the reality Of the ideals on which
this country was founded and on
which it now endeavors to guide
its actions. So long as our young
people are steadfast in this faith,
we can be assured Of the vitality
Of our society, and It's ability to
go on meeting the challenges Of
the future.

Socialist 10 Tackle
Paris Cabinet Crisis;
Given Poor Chance
By the Associated Press


PARIS, Mar. 3.-Socialist Guy
Mollet, 46, former school teacher
from the northern mine fields.
agreed today to try to solve
Frances cabinet crisis. His
chances did not appear good. It
was evident that France would be
without a cabinet most of next
week. during the crucial East
West talks here among the dep
uty foreign ministers of the
States, Britain. France and Russia.
The French end of the talks
will be handled by Foreign Of
fee officials of civil service stand
ing.
Mr.. Mollet agreed to see what
he could do to get Parliament
quarreling parties together on the
formula for an election law after
Radical Socialist Henri Queuille
and Popular Republican Georges
Bidault failed.
Seeks to Conciliate.
Teis quarrel brought Premier
Rene Pleven's resignation Wednes-
day, just short Of month after
he had gone to Washington to
assure President Truman person.
ally that France would do her part
in the armed buildup of the West.
Mr.. Mollet said he would try
to play a role of concilliator. He
will report tomorrow or Monday
on whether he has found it posr
sible to get the warning parties
together on the more pressing
problems-economic and social as
well as the election law-so that
he or possibly some one else might
form a government.
Should he fail, Mr.. Pleven might
be asked to make an attempt to
form a new cabinet again.
Should Mr.. Pleven fail again,
it is possible steps will be taken
to liquidate the present Parlia-
ment and hold elections In May or
June. instead of next october as
scheduled.
Herriot Proposed.
One proposed solution is for
Eduoard Herriot, elder statesman
and president Of the National
Assembly. to head a liquidation"
cabinet whose only job would be
to prepare for the elections.
How to hold the elections has
deadlocked the three middle IT.
the-road parties who made up the
Pleven cabinet. The Catholic
Popular Republicans wanted a
system based largely on proper
tional representation. The Radi-
Gals wanted a run-off election sys-
tenn on two successive Sundays
with proportional representation
playing only a minor role. All
non-Communist parties agree the
present proportional representa-
ton system should be changed
because it allowed Communists to
elect more members to the as
sembly than any other single
party at the last general election
in 1916.
While few political leaders say
so. most parliamentary observers
agree one of the main reasons for
the discord is a threatening eco
nomic crisis.
Labor Growing Restive.
Prices have been going up rap
idly. Labor is getting restive. ANY
new premier is going to have to
make stern decisions on prices
and cope with union demands for
increased wages.
II q cabinet is formed, it will
be the 17th in six years.
MIR. Mollet, who is well known
in Europe for his work in the
Council of Europe at Strasbourg
began his career as a school
teacher in Arras. Northern France
where the Socialists rival the
Communists for support.
One of his hobbies has been
writing English grammar. He was
an Interpreter with the American
armies in 1914.
