main conference. The o. N.
negotiators can hardly refuse
to discuss an item which they
themselves have brought up. It
cannot be dismissed as out OF
bounds on the ground that it
is political" because the pres
ence or absence of troops in an
area where war has occurred
is a vital subject for negotia-
tion. In the end the U. N. viii
probably consent to seeing the
item placed on the agenda Of
the main armistice discussions
and will then urge that it be
left to the diplomatic representa-
tives to settle when the political
factors come up.
So the procedure appears now
to be this:
First, a conference on the
preliminaries to decide what the
armistice negotiators shall talk
about. This is what the pres
ent series of talks, begun on
July 8, is supposed to resolve.
This has already consumed
nearly two weeks.
Second, a conference of the
main representatives to decide
on the actual conditions Of the
armistice-the military terms
to assure inspection of both
north and south zones, the es-
tablishment of a demilitarized
zone and similar matters of a
military nature. This has not
yet begun and may take a month
or more to negotiate. Among
other things, the conference
has to decide when and where
the diplomats will meet to take
up the political factors and
what countries shall be repre-
sented. Then will come the ac-
tual cessation of hostilities on
an agreed-upon date.

will be discussed, such as admis-
sion Of Red China to the U. NJ.
the status of Formosa, with
drawal of foreign troops from.
Korea and arrangements for
the future government Of all
Korea. These items will surely
lead to a deadlock which. based
on previous experience, may take
from six to nine months, and
probably will never be settled.
This means an indefinite con-
tinuation of the armistice.
At any moment that a sign
of disagreement arises before
the "cease-fire" is actually put
into effect, tension will increase
and the danger to U. N. forces
will be intensified. The presence
of the large Chinese armies
will be a constant threat and
the U. N. will find itself
negotiating under the duress of
the reinforced Communist
armies.
If a "cease-fire" does occur,
the chances are that the Com
munists will then allow the
situation to stagnate indefi-
nitely. For there is no press
ing reason from their side to
make an agreement when they
already have achieved what
they had a year ago-namely,

parently the French are going
to have to take it and like it.
But Secretary of State Ache
son is not being outf1anked by
the Pentagon; some of his sup
porters would prefer that he
was. That he has little stom-
ach for the Franco alliance
seems evident from the fact
that he is disassociating him
self and his people from it as
much as possible. Perhaps this,
too, is supposed to make the
anti-Franco British feel better.
In the realm OF prestige the
Secretary is nonetheless a heavy
loser.
Generally speaking, the select
and rather small company who
have stood by him on Capitol
Hill are anti-Franco. In their
view he is again acting the role
of appeaser, or captive, of his
critics. They do not relish the
appearance of being beaten by
the bitterly anti-administration
Senator McCarran, who had the
Spanish Ambassador at his ell

bored Government officials for
not treating Spain better.

Danger In Dealing With Franco
Discord Among the Allies Is Worth More to Stain
Than Any Spanish Aid Could Be Worth to Us

II we come to a showdown
with Stain on the battleflelds of
Europe, it seems to me, we will
need in our armies something
more than men and military
equipment. We will need a
common understanding, a soli-
dartty of purpose. a spiritual
fire animating all the Allies.
Confusion among ourselves with
respect to these things could be
fatal, if the military might of
the Soviet Union is what it is
represented to be.
If we are to avoid the show
down. engagement In what
probably would be the worst
of all wars, the same thing Is
true. The spirit of resistance
must not be weakened by doubts
and misgivings. The potential
aggresSor must be confronted
with an alliance so firm that its
strength will not be questioned.
Which means an alliance that
does not include Franco Spain.

ally of the military that proved
too strong for him was Russia;
he felt he could not argue
against the necessity of acquir-
ing all possible force against
Russia.
Another complaint leveled at
the Secretary is that putting
Admiral Sherman in the FORE
front of the Spanish negotia-.
tions represents a certain public
denial of that civilian supremacy
cited as all-important in the
case of Gen. Macarthur. One
irked Senator suggested that he
was apparently supposed to
fight. bleed and die for civilian
supremacy only on davs des-
ignated by President Truman.
That Congress will accept the
Spanish alliance, however, is
considered a foregone conclu-
sion.
incidentally. the Archeson re-
tirement rumorS are blooming
again with the time named: This
fall, following a Korean truce.
This much is fact: Administra-
tion Senators continue to insist
that they should not have to go
into another campaign carrying
the AcheSon load.

Dovid Lowrence:

All that has been happening
at the conference table in Korea
since July 8 is only a preliminary
discussion Of what the armis-
tice negotiations should discuss.
The main Parleys haven't begun
at all.
Meanwhile, the United Ma
tions command, under pressure
from politically minded govern
ments. is taking the biggest risk
that any army in military his
tory ever assumed.
The Communists are bring
ing troops into Korea by the
tens of thousands. It is esti-
mated that the enemy now has
about 100000 men, while the
u. N. has something around half
that number.
The U. N. is not likely to
bring in reinforcements because
of the distance to the various
member countries. Yet the Red
Chinese can continue to send
In reinforcements.
Now the Communists have
raised the real issue-the with
drawal Of foreign troops" from
Korea. This, of course, means
all but North and South Korean
troops. This is exactly what
happened before, when Russian
and American forces were with
drawn. The way was opened
to Communist inffltration and
control of the North Korean
government.
The Communists have found
that the U. N. negotiators in
the preliminary conferences will
not agree to their demand for
withdrawal of foreign troops"
But the Red Chinese and North
Korean representatives are not
asking at this time for a de-
cision on it. They merely want

not merely between armies, The
people on our side must have
their hearts In it, If we hope to
win. They must believe the loss
Of life and the devastation they
are asked to endure is justified
by the cause for which they
fight. The cause is freedom
from tyranny. an end to the
world threat of totalitarianism.
Franco. in the minds of most
Europeans, represents tyranny
and totalitarianism. He rep
resents what Is left of Hitler
and Mussolini. the men who
set him up in business and
used his country as a proving
ground for the tactics with
which they planned to conquer
the earth. Left alone in an
unfriendly world. a pariah
among rulers, his country in
desperate shape, Franco is
ready enough to throw in his
lot with the free nations. But
his neighbors in Europe, who
know him best, are not ready
to receive him. Spain they
can accept. but not the Franco
government. .
The British government un-
derstands this, as does the
French government. Neither is
so strong in its own right that
1t dares risk the consequences
of a partnership with Franco.
And since we base so much of
our own planning on our con-
cept of what the Kremlin may
be thinking, some consideration
should be given that now. Dis
unity and disaffection among
the Allies will be worth more to
the Soviet Union than any
Spanish assistance can be worth
to ourselves.
II Franco really desires to
help the allied cause he can do
it. He can do it by abdicating
and allowing Spain to become
again a free country. Until that
course occurs to him we will
do much better without his help.

Brazil Urged TO Open
Untapped Oil Regions
To Foreign Capital

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, July
10 (CDN). - Brazil, with the
worlds largest untapped, potential
oil area, is being urged to relax
regulations and permit foreign
companies to come in and explore
for petroleum.
Larger than the United States,
Brazil now produces only one per
cent of the oil it uses although
scores of companies would like to
drill wildcat wells in many parts
Of the country.
DR.. Joseph E. Pogue, petroleum
constultant for the Chase National
Bank and director of the Gulf
Petroleum Co.. has published a
31-page booklet entitled Oil in
Brazil"
DR.. Pogue states that Brazil
has "a half-dozen immense sedi-
mentary basins of type which
might yield OIL"
The total area of these river
basins. including the Amazon, is
$4,000 square miles-or about
one-fourth the area of the entire
United States.
Scrutinized At u. N.
The booklet is being studied at
the United Nations because it fits
in with the peace organizations s
program for development of back
ward countries through foreign
investments.
The former Chase National
Bank vice-president contrasts the
vast wealth Venezuela is gaining
from it's oil fields and Canada S
enlightened" regulation of oil
companies with Brazil's backward
ness.
DR.. Pogue is regarded as one
of the spokesmen for the Ameri-
can petroleum industry which has
been trying unsuccessfully for
many years to obtain drilling con-
cessionS in Brazil.
When Getulio Vargas was in
augurated President of Brazil
early this year, the American
companies decided it was time te
make another effort to get drilling
rights in that country.
Must Buy Petroleum.
DR.. Pogue points out that Brazi
is being forced to spend a great
deal of its dollar credits gained
through sale of coffee. cocoa ane
cotton to purchase petroleum.
He states tina Brazil is running
big risk in declining to let com.
panies explore for oil since OF
probably will become more expen'
sive when coffee, cocoa and cot
ton become cheaper.
"a more constructive attitude
toward foreign capital and pc
troleum legislation designed tt
attract the best efforts of th,
competitive oil industry" h,
states, would go far in minimiz
ing this risk"

than 100 companies are explorin,

that country's production.

In contrast. Brazil is refusing to
