BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-In
the normally bustling cattle pens
of the Union Stock Yard here,
dealers are spending most of their
time wishing business were better.
Mondays and Thursdays are the
yards big days. But a week ago
Thursday, 900 cattle were un-
sold-more than twice the usual
number. Mondays market start
ed the same way. It picked up
later in the day but still ended
with 20 per cent less cattle sold
than on the same day in 1851.
There are two primary reasons
for the lag. Prices are down. and
meat packing houses are full, with
IA relatively small demand from
retail dealers. Agents for the
farmers here simply won't ac-

gest factors" he said, sis an alto
gether lack Of confidence in the
entire industry this year.
Last year, everyone was opti-
mistic. Prices were high and the
trend of thought was that every
thing was on the upSwing. The
farmer was willing to pay as much
TO get feeder cattle as the butcher
was. So there were too many
feeder cattle last year.
Every indication this year is
for cheaper cattle. The farmer
gets it from Government reports
and everything else he reads"
AS an example Of what he was
saying. the dealer produced a let
ter written this week by West
Virginia farmer. The farmer
wrote that his neighbors were
scared to DEATH and that there
is not one bright spot in cattle"
Another illustration, the agent
said, is that he is getting no fu-
ture cattle orders.
"We used to get orders at this
time for delivery in October" he
said. Nov, no one wants to look
that far ahead"

Actually, officials Of the yards

Arrivals About Normal.
In fact, cattle sent here for sale

cattle sent here was more than
1000 below the total in July OF
last year.
Despite these figures, the num-

dealers pointed out, the law OF

Unaware Of American Attitude
British Consider Korea Incident Less Thun Police Action
View Other Trouble Spots as For More important
Dovid LoWrence:

LONDON, June discus
sions here with members of the
government as well as the oppo-
sition reveal clearly why there
has been such a divergence Of
opinion between the United
States and Great Britain over
Far Eastern questions.
There is a total unaWareneSs
here of the motivating influences
which have caused the Ameri-
can people to feel so deeply
about the sacrifices made by
American troops in Korea. To
the British reader, Korea is just
an incident. It is even less
than a police action" in the
sense that other troubles in the
world are considered to be far
more important. The British
are more concerned over what
has happened In Malaga and
over the danger spots in Iran,
Egypt and North Africa.
I'VE have been fighting the
local wars for centuries" said
one British editor. "and we are
used to the fact that you can
not always win them. But you
Americans are apparently dis
covering for the first time that
you can't win a war when it Is
sometimes expedient not to do
So"
When reminded Of the sacri-
fees being made by Americans
in the Far East, there is, Of
course, deep sympathy and ex-
presSions Of admiration for the
bravery of our troops. But at
the same time there is a tend
ency to argue that q limited
war" is all that can be expected
no matter what course the truce
talks take. If Britons are asked
why Intervention in Korea was
approved in the first place when
the risks of a large-scale war
were even greater then than
they are today, there is no clear
answer given except that it was
important to "halt aggression"
Yet when it is pointed out that
aggression hasn't really been
halted, the reply usually is made
that it was q good attempt
anyway.
Talking with some Of the lead
ers about the problem Of Red
China, 1t seems to be taken for
granted that the British govern
ment in due time not only will
reafirm its position in respect
to diplomatic recognition Of the

Constantine Brown:

Two parallel movements
which may be described as
"neo-isolationism" can be de-
tected in America and Europe
these days.
The American neo-iSolation-
ism is caused by the lack of
tangible evidence that the peo-
pie in western Europe are actu-
ally willing to meet the present
East West conflict head on. It
is due to the Illustrations felt
by so many Americans over. the
prolonged and costly war In
Korea where we are suffering
daily losses without q foresee-
able end. It is due to the grow
ing feeling that we might have
fought it out with the Reds in
that theater Of operations at q
time when we had better than a
$3.50 chance to obtain a deci-
sive victory.
The American feeling is due
to the procrastinating attitude
OF our Western European Allies
toward doing more in a practical
manner for the collective Sc
curity of the free nations to
which they have all agreed to
devote themselves. It Is due
to the growing evidence that
we have neglected our principal
defensive arm. the American
Air Force, which so many people
believe can alone protect this
country from q direct Soviet
onslaught.
The American neo-isolation-
ism is bellicose: it wants action.
If necessary, but hates the
present continuation Of finan-
cial exhaustion with no end in
sight.
For the time being this senti-
ment is still being described by
political partisans as equivalent
to high treason. defeatism and
many other World War II
shibboleths all ending in ''ism."

to want to shrink back into the.

cry that the Chinese Comnu-

against American aid to For
mOSa.
Plainly, there is q wide diver
gence from the American point
Of view in connection with the
Far East. The gap can be illus
trated in the suggestion made
to this correspondent by one
'ieft wing" leader to the effect
that the United States should
conclude q truce by offering to
withdraw its aid from Formosa
and turn the island over to the
Red Chinese. Upon being re-
minded that this was merely
appeasing the enemy and buy
ing peace at the expense Of
principle. that it was in effect
rewarding the aggressor with
the Formosan territory, the
reply was made that some time
ago a pledge had been given
by the United States and her
Allies that Formosa would be
returned to China. In other
words. the argument gets tech
nical. and there is little thought
given to the fact that 500 900
American boys have faced the
firing line in the Far East, that
more than 100.00 Of them have
been killed or wounded, and
that the draft is still calling be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 Ameri-
can boys every month.
1t is certainly a paradox in the
relationships of allies.

meaning of that policy which
has prevailed in Europe for
centuries.
When the American Govern !.
ment under the blows Of
Moscow switched from its
appeasement policy to one Of
containment of Communism,
the peoples in Western Europe
were unconvinced that we would
be able to handle the new situa-
ton automatically. They con-
slider onr policy now as "hyster-
ical" and socialist leaders are
worried that we may lead them
into a war for which the free
world is unprepared. Men like
Aneurin BevaI1 and his friends
of the continent conceived the
idea that Western Europe could
become the honest broker be-
tween two forces which were
rushing toward a head-on
clash. They feel caught be-
tween these forces and believe
that the course which is best
for their people is to avoid being
sucked in.
Western Europe which has
been able to rebuild her econ

to see it smashed again in a
conflict which, as far as it is
directly concerned, could be
avoided easily by political COM
promise.
The neutralism in most Of the
NATO countries is no more in
dorsed by the governments in
power today than neo-isolation-
ism is embraced by our own
Government. But it is probable
that the longer the cold war ia
Europe continues and the longer
the present conflict in Korea
lasts without hope of a real
