Uncle Rows Corner

PETERSBURG, I'LL am in the
heart Of Illinois. This is one OF
the important corn-growing sec
tions Of the world. Millions Of
bushels Of maize, or Indian corn,
are grown yearly on farms within
o radius of so miles Of this village.
I came here for q special reason.
I wanted to visit what is known
as "the Lincoln country" which
centers around New Salem, Peters
burg and Springfield.
Abraham Lincoln was born IN
Kentucky, to be sure, and he spent
much of his boyhood and youth
in Southern Indiana. Those States
have their own special memories
of him, but Illinois claims him as
the place of his manhood. He moved
to Illinois in his early 2Os, and
remained in the State the rest of
his life, except for periods in WASH
inton.
Petersburg grew out Of the vii
lage Of New salem, where Lincoln
lived for several years. Family by
family, the New Salem folk moved
AWAY and settled IN Petersburg,
two miles distant. The older VII

Warning in Provdo

It is significant-and perhaps ominous-that
the men of the Kremlin have begun to talk again
about their 30-year treaty with Red Peiping.
Speaking through Pravda, their chief editorial
mouthpiece, they have declared that they will
openly intervene and fight on the side OF Com
rnunist China If ever they "feel' that the latter
is "being attacked by the japanese or any forces
allied with the Japanese" They have said much
the same thing before, but this IS the first time
they have given it such prominence since Mao
Tse-tung sent his armies marching into Korea
to wage war against our American ana aiileo
United Nations forces.
/. The treaty in question was negotiated and
SIGNED In 1949 to replace the similar SO-year
agreement which Moscow in q typical act OF
colossal bad faith, worked out in 1945 with the
Chinese Nationalist government OF Generalissino
Chang Kai-shek. As far as the free world IS
concerned, the most important OF the treatyS
provisions is the one that pledges the kremlin
and Red Peiping to offer each other immediate
military assistance in case either is attacked by
japan or by any country associated with Japa-
nese aggression" From the time OF the Com
munist attack i'm Korea, of course, and especialy
since Macs Intervention, the real significance
of this commitment has been its implied threat
that the United States-Tokyos chief associate
and prospective ally-will be inviting war with
the Soviet Union II IL SGflkeS AZ OHlIId
To put it mildly, therefore, 1t is Of more
than passing interest that the Kremlin- Through
Pravda-has seen fit to call attention again TO,
this threat at the present juncture The last
heard of such talk was in the early days OF
Macs criminal Korean adventure. Why are we
now hearing about it once more? Why has the
Soviet propaganda machine suddenly started to
revive it? There are no clear answers. but events
themselves suggest that the whole business y
tied In with the deadlocked truce negotiations
at Panmunjom and the very real possibility that
those negotiations may be close to complete
breakdown that could quickly lead 70 renewal

and massive new land and air. offensive by

This may be nothing but an intimidating bluff
