more than three weeks ago, that
the strategy advocated by the

it would have involved us, pos
sibly, in a war with Russia.
That would have meant the
start of World War III.
They all testified. emphatically.
that we were not prepared for
a global conflict at this time.
Once We have proclaimed pub
licly that neither we nor our
Allies are ready to meet such
a danger, the threatening state
mentS made by the Secretary Of
State last Tuesday are not likely
to be regarded very highly in
Moscow or Peiping.
We did not use our capabili-
ties last November and Decem-
ber when the American and all
lied air force was supreme in
Korea, because we feared to
provoke Moscow. 1t Is likely that
We would become more bellig-
erent in the next few months,
after the conclusion of an ar

become dissatisfied with, say,
Americas resistance to the

government.

withdrawal of Chinese Commu-
mist troops.
AS far as Peiping and Moscow
are concerned there are no Or
ganized Chinese forces in North
Korea, just volunteers" who
have been eager to fight against
Western imperialism" They
are fighting under the colors Of
the North Korean republic. Con-
sequently, they are not con-
sidered by Moscow and Peiping
as Chinese troops. Thus, while
the y. N. forces are to be with
drawn, the hundreds Of thou
sands of Chinese regulars will
remain because they are mere
volunteers"
Testifying before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, Sec
retary Of State Acheson stated
emphatically that the Russians
and Chinese would have to think
twice before they decided to
violate a cease-fire agreement.
He warned Moscow and Peiping
that such a violation would
mean the outbreak of World
War III.
It is doubtful that this state
ment will create much concern
in Moscow. The Muscoyites are
prepared diplomatically for re-
pudiation Of an armistice If they
decide to do so. Mr.. Acheson
will be answered in such an
eventuality as he was last
November, when the Chinese
Communists entered the war in
Korea. The answer will be that
neither the U. s. S. r. nor China
can assume any responsibility
for a breach of the armistice,
since they are not responsible
for the actions Of volunteers"
Moreover, the threats of our
Secretary Of State will be taken
lightly by the enemy in the
light Of statements made by him
and other high officials In the
Government during the Mac
Arthur investigation.

This was a hint that If the
"cease-f1re" terms could be
arranged SO that enemy forces
withdrew from a suficient area
as a first step to assure the
restoration in due time of peace
and security to all Korea, then
one OF the major political OBJ
jectives" of the U. N. would
have been attained.
1t is curious that such a
statesmanlike attempt last
March-which, if supported by
the administration, might have
brought "cease-fire" three
months ago-should have been
recently characterized as an
"ultimatum" by President Tru-
man and as a move that al

which is meant all Korea.
II one Of the "belligerents"--
meaning the North Koreans
as the agents Of the Chinese
volunteers" should decide to
accept a "cease-fire" which calls
for a withdrawal far up north
in Korea close to the Yalu River.
this very action would seem TO
be an assurance that no at
tempt was being made to put
the u. N. forces at a military
disadvantage In the event hos
tilities were to be resumed.
The American Government
must be able to point to some
such concrete progress before
public opinion--and that means
a majority in Congress-will be-
lieye that anything substantial
has been achieved through the
"ceaSe-f1re" agreement.
The Soviets, therefore, can by
the very terms of the cease
fire" clothe the whole negotia-
tion with a friendly and peace
full atmosphere from the begin
ming. After all. to move troops
back in accordance with the
wishes Of the U. N. is somewhat
different from moving them to
please just one country like the
United States.
Incidentally, it is interesting
to note that the Soviets have
taken advantage of the method
suggested by Gen. Macarthur
on March "a when he proposed
a meeting with the opposite field
commander to arrange an armi-
Stice. He said then in his state
ment, which was broadcast to
the enemy, that "there should
be no inSuperable difficulty ar

who tried to improve the situ-
alton Of the people.
Justice Douglas has many
times tried to warn America
about this situation. He has
called for a foreign policy aimed
not at putting down revolutions
after they start but at the condi-
tions OF poverty and hunger
which produce those revolu-
tions. He has talked of Iran
and its Middle East neighbors.
Both he and Mrs. Douglas are
en- route now to that area for a
vacation.
Although both the Justice and
Secretary occupy q place high
enough to give any mission they
undertake the most luminous
prestige Of the Government and
the White House, they have
unstarched, direct personalities.
This is frankly another rea-
son why interested quarters
would like to see the President
go outside the State Depart
ment and pick one or both to do
the mediation job If it is offered
to this country by Iran. Still
another Is that the State De-
partment is considered pro-
British in many chancelleries
and Britain is the other party at
interest.
