Scont Help Looked for in u. N.

There is little hope in official
quarters in Washington that we
can look for anything concrete
from the United Nations, in
either the political or military
field.
Our associates in that great
peace organization have ex-
hausted themselves - morally
and physically-after ordering
what appeared last June to be
real contribution to mainte-
nance of law and order in ac-
cordance with the United Ma
tions Charter.
Henceforth it is up to the
wisdom of our leaders in the
White House, the State Depart
ment and the Pentagon to de-
eide the next course in the Far
East.
We have only two altelna-
tives: % Cut our losses the
best we can and pull out of
Korea, without, however, ad-
mitting defeat by negotiating
with the Chinese and North
Korean puppets; and (2) con-
tinue to fight around the mar
row Pusan beachhead and, while
engaging important Chinese
Red masses. let the Nationalists
cross the straits from Formosa
and create a second front in
China.
The latter solution, which had
been rejected in the past by our
top policy-makers, is regarded
with more favor at the present
time. But it still meets consider
able opposition from the State
Department.
In the last few weeks, Secre-
tary Of State Acheson has been
repeatedly urged by some of his
critics, who are not personally
antagonistic to him, to adopt
such a policy. 1t has been
pointed out to him that since
a Chinese landing on the main
land would not involve Ameri-
can soldiers, We would not fur

who hints that a break with
Communist China may be forth
coming and that, when this
step is taken, all the members
of the U. N. should leap to-
gether." This is but another
way of saying that, as between
continued support of the Com
nluniSt China regime and a
breakup of the U. N. as a result
OF the Korean debacle. the Brit
lsh are ready to go along with
the position Of the United States.
The denunciation of ComEu-
mist China as an aggressor is
long past due but 1t takes time
for more than SO nations to ex-
change views and to come to
conclusions.
Mr.. Truman's speech is sharp
in denunciation Of Soviet Rus
sia. His phrases may have been
heard before but they have not
been assembled in quite the same
positive way. The Truman
speech is distinct contribution
to the debate on world policy.
The restraint which the Presi-
dent used with reference to the
domestic political situation will
help the cause of unity. For he
puts on the spot those who
would yield to partisan spirit.
What is important in this
regard, however. is that the
Democrats in Congress who are
attacking individual Republicans
as partisans should not be misled
into thinking that the dissatis-
faction with foreign policy is
itself political or a matter of
political ambition for certain
personalities. For the truth is
the unhappiness in America over
the Korean adventure is not
confined to any political party.

News Of Interest to All Who Eat

All the people who eat will
welcome the announcement of
Chairman Allen j. Ellender of
the Senate Agriculture, Commit
tee that an investigation is to
be begun Immediately into price
mark-ups on food. If, as he
thinks, a pretty clear picture of
present practices can be OBJ
talned by his committee within
a few weeks, the basis may be
laid for intelligent overall PLAN
ming to control the cost of living
during the present national
emergency.
Food is surely the one most
important item in the cost of
living. For that reason it is nat
ural that there should now be
proposals, supported by wide
spread demand, for the freez-
ing of food prices at the source.
meaning the prices paid the
farmer. But farmers have al
ways contended in times like
these that there is little real.
or fair, relationship between the
prices they receive and the
prices the ultimate consumer
pays. The guilt for excessive
costs, they assert, lies with the
middlemen, the profit takers at
the various stages between the
farms from which the food
comes and the counters over
which it is sold. Wholesalers,
Jobbers, professors and retail
ers are the true villains, they in
sist, and many people have come
to believe them.
This is not a new argument.
but now it has become a vital
one and should be settled. If
farmers state the case cor
rectly, they should not be made
the victims of unreasoning re-
sentiment, certainly not at a
time when they are being
asked to produce more and
more food. And. of course, they
are not likely to be made such

Enthusiastically. SWeokness

In analyzing what is WRONG
with our foreign policy, most of
those who question it fail. it
seems to me, to ask penetrating
questions and. therefore, to find
fundamental answers. An espe-
cial difficulty is that our central
error involves not an American
vice. but what we consider to
be q special American virtue:
Namely our idealism.
America is against sin and
believes that it can be over
come by passing a law and
demonstrating that crime does
not pay. Thus in planning what
to do with defeated Germany,
the United States was origi-,
nally the most ferocious of the
allies. Germans, we argued, had
waged aggressive war and in the
course of it committed atrocious
crimes against humanity, for
which no punishment was ade-
quate.
The Morgenthau plan origi-
mated in America and had, for a
time. almost universal support.
To say. in 1945. as this column
did. that a truncated. divided
and industrially dismantled Ger
many would create a dangerous
vacuum, require the expenditure
Of billions in American money
to prevent its communication,
and lay the West open to an
aggressive Soviet Union, was to
incur the charge of advocating
a soft peace and distrusting our
noble Russian ally. Similarly
to doubt the wisdom of unilater-
ally disarming Japan in Asia was
held tantamount to championing
aggression.
Mr.. Churchill, who, as a his
torian. knows that sin is con-
fined to no one nation and is
probably here to stay, wanted
the Western allies to invade
through the Balkans and keep
the Russians out of Europe. This
was the thinking of a realist.
But President Roosevelt scorned
such distrustful pessimism. and
put all the eggs in the basket of
q United Nations which would
insure universal peace through
the enforcement of law.
He even compared the crea-
ton of the United Nations to
the creation of the United
States. In his idealistic mind,
as in that OF the late Carl Van
Doren ("The Great Experts
ment") and OF Wendell. Willkie,
there were no more fundamental
impediments to the creation of
one world under just law than
70 the union Of the American
States. It ought to happen and,
therefore, by the grace of Provi-
dence, 1t would.

victims. They are we'll organ
lied for political action and we'll
equipped with their own eco
nomic experts, plus legislative
lobbyists. 1t is possible to be-
lieve that they may have in
spired Chairman BLENDERS de-
cision to investigate, confident
that his findings will confirm
their contention.
II this should prove to be the
case, the administration will
have sound basis for a system
OF price controls. Without such
a basis any system set up-at
least as far as food prices are
concerned-is bound to be in
effectual. Congress will see to
that, for Congress cannot dis
regard the legitimate claims of
the farmer. And Congress will
corlCrol the funds required to
operate any system that may be
devised.
There is the further fact that
in our generation we have come
to accept the principle of assur-
ing the farmer approximately
parity between the prices he re-
ceives for his produce and the
prices he pays for the other
essentials of living. A fiat farm
price freeze would mean throw
ing that principle out the win
div, which Congress cannot be
expected to do. -..
If Chairman BLENDERS inquiry
reveals. as he obviously expects
it to, that the man in the mid
die is the man to control, it
will not be beyond the capacity
of the Government to control
him. The average family can
be protected against food prices
that do not reflect the actual
cost of growinga processing and
distributing.
Against this proposal there
naturally rises a clamorous pro-
test. The bogey of the "black
market" will be dragged from
