Fight, or Negotiate?


It is hard to understand why many
people in many nations agreed last June
that it was necessary to put down armed
aggression In Korea by military means,
because that was the only way to insure
world peace-and why today. when the
threat to peace is greater than 1t was
then, many Of these same people back
their governments in trying to negotiate
peace with an enemy that has increased
his forces in that country MANIFOLD.
has the same objective. but has been
unable to achieve it against forces far
inferior In number. Always the same cry
goes up: That the military leader must
do nothing to disturb the status quo Of
diplomatic negotiations.
Under a handicap such as no other
military commander in history ever had
imposed upon him, Gen. Macarthur, in
spite of temporary reverses. has pressed
the enemy back to where he started last
June Is. The objective of pacifying and
unifying all of Korea will not, cannot,
be achieved short of surrender Of the foe
to terms that will bring that about.
That is not accomplished by negotia-
tion. It is accomplished only by relent-
less, unremitting, answering military
pressure.
Peace cannot be negotiated while the
power to continue armed aggression still
exists. Once that power is broken by
acknowledged military defeat, then it
may be feasible to set up buffer state,
carved out of enemy territory (outside'
Of Korea). which could serve to preserve
the integrity Of that country from for
eign aggression provided it was unified
in fact, well armed, and under a U. N.
guarantee to help secure it from such
aggression. Otherwise 1t is a mistake to
fight aggression in Korea at all or, for
that matter, in any country, including
our own.

by the boy taking the full blame,
| If possible, at the time of the
accident. We, personally. know
of many cases in which this has
happened. In our own crowd two
boys have been victims of this
inconsiderate behavior.
Frequently. some girls do not
realize the seriousness and respon-
sibility which go with driving a
car. After mild accidents or mar
row escapes, the girls usually
laugh and joke about it to their
friends. 1t is a so-called boast of
many girls that you haven't lived
until you have wrecked your fell
lows car
Many boys will seemingly not
object, but inside they are deeply
concerned. and for the remainder
of the date feel very upset. Also,
the boy soon gets the impression
that the girl is bored with him and
just goes out with him to drive his
car.
please do not think that we are
prudes. We thought this over
carefully and decided that some
thing should be done because this
situation is getting worse. We
would like you to tell your many
readers how ill-mannered and in
considerate it is for a girl to i'm
pose on her boy friend by asking
to drvie his or his family's car, for
no reason except desire to stunt
or show off"
Do you agree, teen-agers, that
boys have cause for complaint?
TIaditionally. 1t is not correct
for a girl to ask to drive a boys
car. In fact, it is gallant custom
for a capable boy-driver to take
the wheel, if the girl or her family
loans" a car for a special date
occasion. Usually. girl does not
drive, on a date, without some real
reason. The best reason is her
conviction that she is better able
to drive safely at that time.
A girl is not justified in asking
boy for a chance to practice or
experiment with his car. Thought
less tricks do bring up the insur-
ance premiums. 1t is estimated
that fathers pay SIPS million a
year more when youngsters drive.

Boy Driver, Move Over

Has a girl any social right to

family car? If the girl is at the
wheel for date driving. should she
try to spark the adventure with
carefree stunts?
No. groan the boys who do
worry, especially if they must be

drivers, in cars for which they
are responsible. Two boys, who
claimed to be voicing the COM
plants of many other boys at
their senior high, wrote this to
your teen etiquette editor:

ton to a serious situation which
is becoming more prevalent with
teen-agers. The problem is that

double the average for other
groups. Teeners from 16 to 20 are

accidents as older groups, accord
ing to some surveys.
There are no exact figures on
how many accidents are caused by
girls who borrow boys cars, but
every boy has the right to refuse
to move out of the drivers seat
unless sure that the girl is quail
ified to take over. First, she should
be required to show her opera
tors license, according to Sergeant
Charles Painter, juvenile law
enforcement officer. He has OBJ
served that: I'm 8 out of 10 cases

girl has no operators license. She

is not SO apt to speed as to miss
signals, park improperly, or weave
through traffic.
Sooner or later the car is
stopped for a routine check-up

which he is triply responsible to

Members of the Virginia Plan
