"A wavelet" Of appeasement
Is making itself felt ii the camp
Of the Western Allies. The Soviet
cold war seems to have dented
the viii to oppose the Kreinlin's
expansionist aims.
Two leading French parlia-
I1entarians, Jules Moch and Ed-
GUARD Daladier, have urged post
penenent Of the Pleven plan for
a European army. This in itself
is not serious. But it Is signif-
icant that the reason for the
opposition is that the political
men want to make another APP
peal to Stain for a diplomatic"
settlement Of the explosive world
condition.
For six years the Western
world has used kid gloves in an
effort to bring the u. s. S. r. to
reason. It has condoned all the
peaceful" conquests Of the Rus
sian Empire In Europe and Asia.
When the Marshall Plan was
first devised. the Soviet govern
ment was invited to participate
in sharing the American billions.
Foreign Minister Molotov at
tended the Paris meetings only
to sabotage the move. Jan
Masaryk. the Czechoslovak for
eign minister. paid with his life
for his attempts to accept the
American project, and Czecho-
slovakia was forced behind the
Iron Curtain shortly afterwards.
All efforts Of the free world
to induce its erstwhile ally, to
cooperate have failed. The
few successes we have had. such
as the victory in the 1948 Ber-
lin blockade, were the result Of
our firm attitude. But all at
tempts to cotppromise are
scorned by the Kremlin as q
sign Of weakness. M. Daiadier
should know from bitter expert
ence that appeasement actually
brought on the Second World
War. He was at the helm OF
the French Republic In 1898
when at Munich he handed the
Nazis, on a silver platter.
Czechoslovakia, one Of the most
important strategic fortresses In
Europe.
The French, who feared war
In 1888, chose to fight 1t q year
later and met disaster. Their
appeasement policies made it
into the wrong war at the
wrong time in the wrong place,
since Poland was much far
thers away and more exposed
than Czechoslovakia. Now, once
more, the trend in France
seems to be to appeal to the
"better nature" Of the Red die
tator as the French appealed
TO Hitler.
The wind Of appeasement In
Britain seems to have subsidized

took Office. But the British
government maintains a steady

attitude, however. She is con-
cerned with the effect of the
ever-increasing burdens Of the
presidency on the health of her
husband. It is obvious that she
believes that he has done enough
and deserves to spend the re-
mainder Of his life peacefully
and pleasantly.
Mr.. Truman, as is known, has
been warned by his doctors Of
the possible effect of continue
tion of the strains Of his Office
beyond his present term. This,
according to Representative
SABBATH, he mentioned In their
talk. This was q sacrifice he
would make If the cause Of peace
required it.
Some observers have taken
the position that Mfr. Truman Is
trying to talk himself into be-
coming a candidate again. They
place him in the almost per-
suaded" class of the old hymn.
Perhaps SO. But there are few
people who would not make any
sacrifice, If that sacrifice could
be counted on to insure world
peace. It may be that what Mr..

Truman is really thinking is
that the foreign policy Of his
administration is essential to
securing peace. that q Demo-
cratic victory is necessary to
continue that policy and that
he is the only Democrat who
can win. This is the doctrine
of the indispensable man again.
The facts are that all Of the
Democrats who seem to have q
possibility Of succeeding Mr..
Truman could be counted on TO
march forward with present
policies without much change.

He found a remarkable parallel
between the troubles of Abra-

S. Truman. He didn't say so
In so many words, but listen to
these passages concerning Lin

Lincoln was beset on every
hand :. while some accused
the President of having created
the war In the first place. others
accused him of fighting it in q
half-hearted, ineffective man
ner. There were unending
arguments over military STRAIT
egy-arguments in the Con-
gress, in the press, everywhere.
There were struggles with polit-
ically minded generals, who
wanted the high policy Of war

rather than the plans OF the
administration. There was a
welter of congressional investi-

VIII Have to Answer Questions
Truman Entry in Race Would Make Major Issue Of Compogn
The Whole Sever-Yeor Record Of Acheson Foreign Policy

1850? II 1t was q war to repel
aggression, why wasn't the ag-
gression repelled and the enc
my defeated?
TO some Of these questions
the administration will make the
answer that it feared q third
world war. and it win rely on
the people to support what now
has become virtually q peace e-at-
any-price policy. But when the
American people come to realize
that the Korean situation isn't
solved by a truce. that Ameri-
can troops win be continuously
on duty there for years TO come,
and that the Russian aggresSor
has not been deferred, especially
as the Communists drive into
Southeast Asia, the issues will
have to be debated further.
The basic argument win be
whether the Truman-Acheson
policies Of appeasement have not
really brought on an indefinite
era Of tension with tremendous
expenditures for war being made
necessary for many years to
come just because firmness has
been lacking. Above all, the
real question the President will
have to answer ON the stump
is the same one that the Wild
ow Of the ace jet flyer implied
the other day when she said Of
her husbands death In Korea:
"It would have been worth
while II there had been a good
reason"
So. in the fina1 analysis, Mr..
Truman will have to answer for
the more than 100, 0,O00 American
boys who have shed their blood
in Korea and convince the elec-
torate that the policies he has
followed or win follow In his
next term win make those sac
rifices worth while. As one
soldier In Korea put it the other
day-'Death deserves o reason"

If President Truman runs for

past performance In world af-

will automatically force into

secrets so careless that Russia
stole the inside facts about the
atom bomb from under our noses
through Klaus Fuchs, whose en-

Korea from the American de-

why were American naval forces,
