Chinese Again in Defiant Mood
Red Delegates Ponmunom Peace Talks Once More nsistno
On Full Acceptance of Their Armsice Terms-Or Else
Constantine Brown:

The diplomatic crystal gazers
in Washington are stumped over
the cease-fire negotiations in
Korea. For several weeks they
have been predicting that by the
end Of this month the armistice
would be signed, sealed and de-
livered.
Nobody in Washington or in
Tokyo has any faith in the Reds
pledges. Nobody expects that the
logical sequel of an armistice-
a peace treaty will be signed at
an early date. At the diplomatic
negotiation table sthe Com
muniSts unquestionably will de-
mand the occupation of For
mosa, substitution Of Peiping
representatives for the National
lists men at the United Nations
and some sort Of "free elections"
in Korea on the Moscow pattern.
The latter point would mean
some SO per cent of the votes in
favor Of union with North Korea
under the leadership of the
Moscow puppets.
The administration is inter-
ested in this election year in
signing Of an armistice which
would put an end to fighting
and eventually permit us to
withdraw our forces from the
devastated South Korean re-
public.
For a while it looked as if
the Reds would make some con-
cessionS. particularly in regard
to prisoners who did not want
to return. In the final analysis
such concessions would not in
terfere in the least with their
ultimate objective of domination
OF the whole peninsula.
The expected protracted peace
negotiations would give the
administrations supporters the
advantage Of telling the Ameri-
can electorate that the police
action in Korea had been fully
justified since the hostilities
ceased on the 38th Parallel-the

Steel Prices Not q New Problem
Josephus Daniels and Roosevelt Net Similar Situation

tional emergency is justified by
our past history. Building COM
peting plants certainly would
be considered by the industry
as drastic a step as the seizure
Of its own mills. The Govern
ment might decide to remain
permanently in the steel busi-
ness or. at least, to continue
manufacturing for its own uses,
thus depriving the industry of
a highly important customer,
on the one hand, and giving
other customers a helpful price
yardstick, on the other.
Seizure cannot hurt as much.
AT most it is temporary and at
worst the companies are as
sured all the profits they can
justify.
Congress can argue, of course.
that Daniels and Roosevelt did
what Truman should have
done. They obtained legislative
sanction for their proposed
action. There Is merit in the
argument, assuming that sane
ton for seizure might have
been forthcoming. That's a
pretty strong assumption. con-
sidering the mood of Congress.
A debate from now until dooms-
day would have been more
likely. Meantime the steel would
not have been produced. The
thrice-postponed strike would
certainly have occurred.

Lowell MeHett::

Now is not the first time the
United States Government has
had trouble with the steel in
duStry in an hour of the Ma
tion's need-trouble over prices.
During the First World War
the Government was outraged
by the prices charged for armor
plate. Every effort to obtain at
fair prices the necessary steel
Sheathing for the great fleet
being built was repulsed by the
steel industry.
The Secretary of the Navy
at that time was q shrewd
Southern editor named jose
phus Daniels. He had an
equally shreWd Assistant Secre-
tary named Franklin D. Roose-
velt. They solved the problem by
obtaining from Congress legis-
lation authorizing the Govern.
ment to built its own armor-
plate plant and appropriating
$20,O00,000 with which to begin
the project. The industry's
prices came tumbling down and
1t wasn't necessary to build the
plant.
This precedent could be used
either for or against President
Truman in the present brawl
between the Government and
the steel industry. In his behalf

AS it Is, the steel is coming

Congress is enjoying a hot

These critics don't realize that
they are making the President
look bigger, in a way, than he
ever did before. AS they continue
to chant that he has become a
tyrant and a dictator, people
are likely to take another peek
at the modest little man from

and thus aggression had been
punished.
During the last few days a
new defiant mood has been de-
tected among the Chinese dele
gates at Panmunjom. They
seem to insist once more on full
acceptance Of all their terms
or else.
American and Allied diplomats
are puzzled by this attitude. It
does not seem to be in keeping
with the recent Kremlin policy
of launching new peace doves
in Western Europe. The con-
sensus of most Western diplo-
matte observers was that during
the next few months while
America is In the throes of a
vital election campaign Moscow
would continue it's bitter-sweet
diplomatic activities.
Until some more definite news
regarding the Panmunjom pour
parlerS is available, the logical
deduction is that Peiping does
not share the political strategy
Of Moscow and wants to beat
the iron while it is hot. The
Communist commanders in Ko-
rea may feel. according to a
number of military observers,
that the capabilities of the
United Nations forces have de-
Perforated since last June when
Gen. Ridgway was ready to
start a counteroffensive which
would have pushed the enemy
beyond the Yalu River.
The rotation of some 200, 900
American battle-hardened troops
and their replacement by men
who have never been in combat;
the substantial increase of the
enemy's f1repower over our own
during the 10 months of "armi-
stice negotiations" and the
numerical air superiority Of the
enemy over our own unques-
tionably are determining fac
tors which any good military
man must take into considera-
tion. 1t Is possible. say some
American military observers,
that the Soviet general staff,

the Chinese headquarters, may
share the views Of the Chinese
Communists. The Soviet gen.
erals may have reported to Mos
COW that their satellites with
their great numerical superiority
in ground forces and their fire.
power and air advantages could
obtain'a military decision. And
their views might have induced
the Kremlin to give its pup
pets free hand in Korea.
Should the hopes Of the Chinese
generals for a possible victory
become frustrated, the Politburo
would suffer no loss either mill
tarily or in prestige.
The morale Of the American
troops in Korea is as good as
can be expected from men who
have been kept inactive for 10
months. OF course, there is
daily intensive training along
the whole battle line. There
are occasional skirmishes in
isolated spots. The American
soldier differs from others in
that he hates inactivity. He
goes into war willingly. But he
wants to win as quickly as pos
sible and get back home. The
cancellation of the major Of
fenSive last June created an un-
favorable impression among the
GIs. Most of them have now
been rotated. But their replace
ments wonder how long and for
what good purpose they are
being kept in an utterly dev-
astated country like South Korea
where the Thermometer regis
terS 20 below zero in winter and
100 above in summer. The aver
age G1 does not swallow easily
the "indoctrination" that he is
in Korea to punish aggression
or to stop a third world war.
His reaction is that If this is
the purpose "let's 60 and beat
the so-and-so Chinks" and get
it over. He cannot conceive
that this can be done by sitting
day in and day out in a foxhole
and exchanging a few shots at
random with the enemy.

ing the impeachment process are
not only a revelation of the
lengths to which executive
usurpation has already gone in
America, but they disclose also
the supineness Of the legisla-
tive branch itself and the tend
ency to acquiesce in the liking

Even inside the Republican
Party councils there is timidity.
1t is, especially significant
that so many members of the
Democratic Party, which his
torically has fought against
Capitalization of Government
in Washington and particularly
against an enlargement of the
powers of the President, now
should be passive and acquiesce
in the assumption by Mr.. Tru-
man of the right to seize pri-
vate property without a law.
Even in his letter to Con-
greSs this week Mr.. Truman
writes as if he doesn't under
stand the constitutional issues
involved. He says that to have
invoked the Taft-Hartley Act
would not have been fair to the
CIO. But is that the standard of
measurement in deciding what
statutes to use or what un-
authorized powers to invoke?
Isn't the criterion rather what
is fair to everybody. including
the owners of private property
in America?
There need be nothing per-
sonal or partisan in the i'm
peachment process or in bring
ing the case to trial. It would
be refreshing indeed, and have
a salutary effect on the course
OF future Presidents, If they
became acquainted with the fact
that there still is such a thing
as impeachment-that there is
a check against any assumption
OF power by the President.

Industry Seen Backing
N Education Shows
BY the Assoeioted Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, April "a.
American industry is regarded
as a possible source of financial
support for television programs to
carry education to the general
public by some educators.
A seminar was told yesterday by
DR.. Arthur s. Adams, president of
the American Council on Educa-
ton, that industry has grown to
its present strength through
trained personnel furnished by the
colleges.
Through the medium of tele-
vision. education service can be
extended to the Masses" DR..
Adams said. MANY industries
conceivably could be interested in
contributing to its support"
DR.. Adams spoke at a session
OF a four-day educational televi-
sion program institute on the
campus of the Pennsylvania State
College.
In another address, William H.
Flaherty. deputy commissioner Of
the Connecticut State Education
Department, declared that COL
leges might do well to replace
some Of their present services
with educational television.
BY dropping less valuable serv-
ices. he suggested. some funds
could be found for the support of
TV as an educational medium.
He said other money might be
obtained by subscriptions such as
are obtained for symphony or
chestraS.
