States trying to use the present
emergency as a Trojan horse

ism"
This sort of bunkum is to be
expected from a man with
Bricker's record on housing and
rent legislation, but even he
would hardly apply the Socialist
tag to Eric Johnston. former
president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Johnston on Monday evening
addressed 1000 business execu-
tives, dining at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York-they pre-
sumably could afford it. He
told them the American con-
sumers' cost of living had in
creased by $21 billion dollars
since January, 1850. He urged
effective controls before it is
too late.
Unhappily, it is not only the
still, small voice of the con-
sumer that is being ignored by
Congress. There's also the first,
faint rumbling of the big bust
that is certain to follow any
further imitation.

The Communist forces in
Indo- China are being built up.
When the main offensive against
the French was started last Sep
tember their leader, Ho Chi
Mini, fully expected to take
Saigon and the delta area. The
French put up sitter resistance
than Ho anticipated.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Com
munists, who had nearly 100000
men on the Chinese border of
Indo- China, were compelled to
withdraw them. They had de-
cided to intervene in the Ko-
rean war after Gen. MacArthur'S
victory at Inchon and needed
their best-trained men for the
war against the Western Allies.
The American support given the
French troops and the with
drawal of the Chinese Commu-
nists caused Hos Red Of
fensive to fizzle out. The Rus
slams have helped to build up

now it is expected that they will
be able to resume their attacks
sometime this summer or early
fall.

East, which was relatively quiet

Constantine Brown:

The collapse of the deputy
foreign ministers conference in
Paris is expected to intensity
the wars-both cold and shoot
ing-the rest of this year.
Allied diplomats. who now
are compelled to take realistic
stock of the international situa-
ton, are convinced that if Mos
COW had wished to permit even
slight improvement in world
conditions, it would have agreed
to an agenda which would per-
NIT the holding of a conference
of the Big Four foreign minis
ters.
Such a conference was not
likely to be more successful
than any of the others. But il
would have brought about a
slight easing of the present
tension. Moscow's refusal to give
the West even a breathing spell
is interpreted to mean that the
crisis will become more acute
henceforth.
All reports from the Far East
indicate that the Communists,
supported by Soviet experts, in
structors and war materials, are
preparing for increased activities
this summer. The Chinese Com
munists are no closer to an armi-
stice or a settlement of the Ko-
rean war than they were last
December.
The fact that they are about
to renew their offensive against
our forces in Korea is less wor-
riSome than the increase in their
air power. For the first time in

bombing attacks on South Ko-
rean cities and Allied concen-
trations.

submarines have been in action,
