Andrei Gromyko, Russia's
shrewd deputy Foreign Minis
ter, is expected to try to drive
wedge between the Western
Allies by injecting into the
agenda for the Big Four for
eign ministers the questions of
Korea and a peace treaty for
Japan.
The present position Of the
Western Allies is that all mat
ters which cause the present
world crises, except the Korean
war. must by discussed by the
foreign ministers.
The official reason for this
attitude is that the Korean
campaign is the concern of the
United Nations, which ordered
the military operation. and not
the foreign ministers of the
Big Four, who have no jurisdic-
tion over the matter.
The real reason for avoiding
this subject Is the wide gulf
which exists between British
and American policies.
Ever since the Chinese Com
munists entered the war on the
side of the North Koreans last
November. the British govern
ment has done Its utmost to
appease the Peiping puppets.
Prime Minister Attlee encour-
aged the Arab-Asian group in
the United Nations to insist on
a cease-fire solution which
was. in fact, a surrender to the
aggressors.

lized them.
Democrats have no DISPOSE

the President and party by the

that no major steals like Teapot

Munich Psychology Again
U. S. and Britain Are Discussing Crossin
Of 18th Parallel by Ground Troops

British viewpoint by the Lon
don Times, which few days
ago said editorially. in part:
Therefore. whether the pros
pect is liked or not. a military
division of Korea for some time
seems inevitable. For many rea-
sons the line of division is more
likely to be established on or
near the 38th Parallel than any,
where else; and that provides
the chief reason why the United
Nations troops should not cross
the parallel in force with a
view to occupying large areas
north Of the line.
"Yet so long as the real Chi
-nese intentions are unknown
so long, indeed, as Chinese prop
aganda declares that the West
ern 'aggressors' must be de-
feated-it is hard to see that the
commanders could be prevented
from carrying out accommodating
and spelling raids over the line.
Unless a cease-fire were to be
arranged and supervised they
could not risk being beset by
new attacks from north of the
line.
What seems to be advisable
is a definite understanding that
the parallel and its immediate
neighborhood shall be the limit
of military occupation until it
can be seen whether the Chinese
are ready, on that basis, for an
unacknowledged cease-fire that
might in time become more pre-
else and lead to a settlement"
The foregoing is just plain
nonsense from a military view
point. No military commander
could plan his operations with
such handicap imposed on him.
1t is the same kind of nonsense
which certain Americans are
preaching about the defense of
Europe by our sea and air power

alone and not with our ground
troops.
Just why the 38th Parallel
has become sacrosanct in Brit
ish eyes is difficult to under
stand. Commandments by naval
vessels and by our airplanes are
going on all the time north Of
the 38th Parallel. If it be
thought that the Chinese Com
munists will be impressed by
faltering. hesitating ground
army which regards the 38th
Parallel as untouchable, then a
revival of Communist defiance
rather than a diminution of it's
fervor may confidently be ex-
pected.
What the London Times
proposes really is to return to
the line of June 26 last and thus
tell the mothers and fathers of
the $4,000 American boys who
have been killed or wounded
that the Korean expedition had
no real objective at the outset
and today has no purpose at
all except to restore the status
quo and call 1t a day.
The omission from British
statements and utterances of
any expressed desire to punish
the Communist aggression is
significant. Instead. the Munich
psychology is back again, as it
is proposed to negotiate for
peace along the 38th Parallel.
Our British friends do not know
the extent to which they have
unwittingly damaged Anglo
American relations and stinu-
lated the isolationist sentiment
they are so preoccupied with
getting our troops out of Korea
and into Europe that they are
unintentionally building up
logical argument for appease-
ment with Moscow over all
issues in Europe. too.

Move to Undermine Conference
Reds Unity and Neutrality Propaganda
Spreading in Western German Zone

The West, insisting that every
body line up on one side or the
other and placing it's trust in
military superiority alone, never
has presented one single rational
idea for a German solution. The
Communists have done so. And
an idea can be opposed only by
a better idea.
The Communists. however,
are associating neutrality with
demllltarization. They appar-
emily propose to leave unified
German state completely with
out means for the protection
even of its own neutrality and
to open it, therefore, to every
sort of infiltration, intrigue and
external pressure.
If that is their idea it must
be sternly opposed-and ex-
posed to the German people.
A state unable to protect itself
is not a state: neutrality cannot
equate with military helpless
ness, and no one can make
such a proposition in good
faith.
The essence of neutrality is
represented by Switzerland,
which is constitutionally con-
Joined against attacking any
state. or making external mill
tary alliances. or permitting the
induction of its citizens into
other armies, or lending it's ter
ritory for military bases, or
entering into pacts with other
nations to aid their war plans
against other states. Conversely,
the Swiss nation is enjoined to
defend itself and it's neutral
status if attacked by anyone.
Only such a neutrality has
any worth whatsoever, and it is
only such a neutrality that the
West could advocate for a
united Germany. If the Soviets
and East European states fear
that even such a constitution
ally bound Germany might one
day break loose, the United
States could offer pact against
such an eventuality. For one
thing is certain-no German
government will ever again lead
the country into a two-front
war.
But if this does not offer

David Lowrence:

America and Great Britain
are talking again about the
possible crossing of the 38th
Parallel by ground troops. and
this time, fortunately, the off,
cial discussion is not being
broadcast for the enemy to hear.
When Kenneth Younger.
Minister of State. told the
House of Commons on Monday
that an agreement between the
United States and Great Britain
had been reached on whether
allied troops in Korea should
cross the 38th Parallel. he added
that no statement could be
made about future operations
because of security"
This is good so far as it goes,
but the fact that Great Britain
wants to put restrictions on the
military operations of ground
troops is known to the enemy
because the information has
been broadcast from London.
1t means that the Communist
generals now can make their
plans and line up their troops
in a privileged sanctuary" in
North Korea while u. N. troops
might be compelled to stay
south of the parallel.
Actually there is no argument
as to the right of any military
commander to patrol and con-
duct reconnaissance but the
British evidently have become
sticklers for the point that there
should be no military occupa-
ton" north of the 38th Parallel.
This form of surrender will
astonish those in the free world
who have believed up to now
that the purpose of the U. N.
troops In Korea was to punish
the aggressor and to liberate
all of Korea. The situation is

And Korean Wor Before Foreign Ministers

in the U. N. Charter, Mr.. Attlee
announced last month in the
House of Commons that he
could see no reason why rub
ber shipments to Red China
should be stopped.
This attitude of the British
government encouraged the
Muscovites in the idea that by
bringing the question of Korea
into the Big Four meetings, a.
rift could be brought about be-
tween the United States and
Great Britain. The British gov
ernment is supported in it's

in Parliament and a large sec
ton of the public. The Far East
is no longer considered from the
military viewpoint by the Brit
ish. Their chief interest is trade
and business as usual.
Even if our Government
wanted to side with the British
for the sake of harmony, it is
handicapped by the fact that
Congress and the American
public would oppose any policy
which might be considered ap-
peasement. The Far East af-
fects our national defense. Our
boundaries extend to Asia.
Moreover, we have had upwards
of $4,000 casualties already in

After the Chinese Commu-

the U. N. forces would cross

wisely refused to make any

President Truman declared
that Gen. Macarthur had full
power to do whatever was

for strategic reasons to keep
the Chinese high command

Dorothy Thompson:

The Communist unity and
neutrality" program for Ger
many is rapidly spreading in
the Western zone, according to
all reports from Germany.
1t is bound to spread, despite
the immense suspicion of the
German people for anything
Communist, because in the last
analysis, and if properly inter-
preted. it offers the only con-
ceivable solution of the German
problem, short of another war.
In saying so, this column is
not backing up the U.S.S.R.
Nearly two years ago after ex-
ploring all the alternative pos
sibilities we could imagine, we
concluded that the military neu-
tralization of Germany offered
the only hope of uniting the
nation, protecting both the
Soviet Union and its associates,
and the Atlantic community.
The integration of Western
Germany into the Atlantic de-
tense system obviously entails
the remuneration of all hope for
German reunification. 1t means
the continued existence of two
German states, each of them
incorporated into a military
system hostile to the other,
which is a monstrous condition,
setting the stage for a civil war
with external Intervention, on
the Korean pattern. 1t offers
nobody any security - neither
the Soviet Union and it's East
European associates, nor the
Atlantic community or Ger
many. >
1t is unlikely, furthermore,
that German military units. or
ganized as the French demand.
as inferior cadres of an inter-
national force, would ever be
more than mercenaries, and
even these cannot be drafted
under the restriction which the
French insisted be written into
the Bonn constitution. That
they would or could stand up
against an East German army
commanded by German officers,
accepted as an equal by the
eastern Communist states, and
fighting for national liberation
is. to say the least, dubious.
The military maneuvers which
the United States staged in Ger
many in the summer of 1949,
assumed that in case of attack
from the East, Germany itself
would be a glacis-to be tenn
porarily abandoned and then re-
conquered-hardly a prospect to
