Influential Senators who
carry the ball on foreign and
military policy believe the Euro
pean situation and the admin
istration's manpower program
are in fairly good shape polit-
ically today.
What has them worried are
Korea and the United Nations
because their mail shows. almost
without exception. that the
American people are vastly un-
happy and disillusioned about
events in these two sectors. The
senatorial apprehensions have
not so far erupted on the floor
but they were put strongly in
recent Armed Services commit
tee executive sessions to Gen.
J.. Lawton Collins, Army Chief
of Staff, who has just returned
from Tokyo.
Gen. Collins, who has the
confidence of Congress to an
unusual degree, could talk plain
ly to the responsible Armed
Services members and he did.
He was not able to give them
any encouragement that the
Korean adventure Is near an
end as 50 many Americans
seem to desire.

hour when Russia will strike
with all her might.
The diplomats Of these ma
tions. who by their past weak
policies have contributed sub
stantially to the present threat
ening world situation. are try
ing to convince themselves that
by condoning the aggression in
the Far East they may still
avoid direct or indirect Russian
attack in other parts Of the
world in which they are more
directly interested.
They condemn-privately and
through their press-the Stub
bornness of the American Gov
ernment, which under the pres
sure of public opinion insists
that aggression, regardless Of
whether it is committed by the
tiny republic of Andorra or the
USSR, should be penalized.
The possibility that the Amer
ican people may become dis
gusted with these antics and
withdraw from the United Ma
tions does not seem to worry the
members of that organization.
They have become so accus-
toned in the last decade to see
ing the United States pitch in

inquiring carefully into the at
titude of the beneficiaries. that
they cannot believe that the

nobody has put any official mo-
mentum behind the idea of
formal expression of friendship
by the Congress addressed to
the people of Soviet Russia or
that other moves which can ap-

that's not enough. There must
be ways to capture the imagina-

why the suggestion by Senator
Mcmahon is likely to prove more
penetrating than all the high
sounding speeches of diplomatic
phraseology that come forth so
regularly as the only expression
of American idealism.
But will such policies of
friendship and other proposals
get through to the people be-
hind the Iron Curtain? The
answer is that any event Of

Jump at conclusions.
I do better than that leap
at them.
Today's conclusion is that
those of us who dwell in the city
should count ourselves lucky for
not having friendly neighbors.
Ever since I was three years
old. and strong enough to toddle
next door to borrow a cup of
sugar. I have had my ears as
sailed with the American belief
that there isn't anything like q
nice neighbor.
In New York a man doesn't
have to put up with that.
I've been living in the same
apartment for several months
and the only person I know in
the building is someone I have
known for years. My sugar is
still intact. So is my lawn mow-
er. my extra coffee cups, my
privacy.
The residents of New York,
who give more to charity than
the folks of any other city in
the world, would no more think
of rapping on a neighbor's door
and offering their friendship
than they would of giving you
their seat on the subway.
I have lived in small towns
long enough to know that some
times neighbors don't like one
another. Talk about one an
other. But keep on acting as if
they were kith and kin when,
should the truth be told, they'd
like to ask the other to get out
move to another block.
I must admit, though, that
the people who live above me
fascinate me. I wish to good

I could get look at them.
I have tried to figure them

Senator Brien McMahon's
proposal of a resolution to be
adopted by the Senate express
ing friendship for the Russian
people is the first sign of COM
mon sense that has come in a
long while from officialdom here
on the subject of moral force
as preventive Of war.
The assumption that, because
armament has to be increased
substantially to meet outbreaks
Of aggression, all other forms of
peaceful effort to prevent war
need not be pressed is errone-
GUS. Yet whenever military
measures take the limelight
these other methods of avoid
ing war seem to be sidetracked.
With two world wars to re-
mind mankind that military
conquest does not really bring
peace, there have been equally
erroneous assumptions current
that military strength has be-
come futile or unnecessary. The
truth is that defense armament
is indispensable, and so is an
armament of reason and gen.
uine friendship expressed by
one set of peoples to the other.
The Russian people are not
bellicose by nature. They do not
want war any more than do the
people of the allied countries.
Inasmuch as all peoples would
prefer the ways of peace to
armed hostilities. the real ques-
ton always is why there should
be any wars. Generally they re-
suit from the acts of a dictator
or of a small group of men
"oligarchies," they used to call

Constantine Brown:

Some Of the Arab and Asiatic
states now consider the United
Nations as a bargain counter,
to be used at the appropriate
moment for the extraction of
special, direct advantages.
Reports from Cairo indicate
that the Egyptian government.
for instance, might agree to go
along with the American res
olution to brand Red China the
aggressor, provided the British
government agrees to withdraw
it's troops from the Suez Canal
zone.
The Egyptian government is
said to be willing to entrust
the defense of the vital Suez
Canal to a United Nations force.
such as a combined American
Turkish Egyptian army. The
longing Of the Egyptian govern
ment for the removal OF the last
vestige of the former British
sovereignty over their country
cannot be criticized.
But when the Egyptian gov
ernment tries a cheap bargain
ing maneuver. by intimating
that it would vote to declare
China an aggressor in exchange
for withdrawal of the British
troops guarding the Suez Canal,
it shows it has either misunder-
stood the purpose Of the U. N.
or is making a farce of it.

members of that peace organiza-
tion is very serious, particularly

the river is still red, and the
stream also huns the refrain:
1--WE are the accusers and the
accused; we are the slayers and
the slain"
In a world where war involves
not merely professional armies,
but whole nations of men;
where the stake is not border
here, or claim there, but the
whole of life and culture, peace
can be the result only of mutual
and universal remuneration
not of war, of objectives obtain
able only by war.
The Soviet Union must re-
nounce the goal of a world in
the Marxist pattern as inter-
preted by Lenin and Stain, and
developed in a specifically Rus
sian experience and conscious
ness, for the objective is not
obtainable without war-be-
tween classes, partisans, and
nations.
The United States must re-
nounce the idea of policing
the world for peace" Noble
men have dreamed it, but the
objective is not obtainable with
out war. For nations are not
like individual lawbreakers, who
can be brought to book by a
policeman with a nightstick,
and judged by an impartial
court.

accused"
The countries of the Atlantic
pact and Of the Soviet bloc must
mutually renounce the objec-
tive of adding Germany and Tor
Japan to their military forces.
