Constantine Brown:

The oft-repeated rantings Of
Stains former pal, Hitler. that
Britain. France and their weak
allies wanted to encircle Ger
many and deny her q place in
the sun have now been taken
up in another form by the
Soviet government. This time
Russia is pictured as the target.
Deputy Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko has handed the
representatives Of the United
States, Britain, France and Tur-
key q note protesting against
the planned Middle East COM
lnand, which still Is only q blue
print. # this plan we're to
materialize it would include ma
tions which have neither the,
desire nor the ability to become
aggressors. Moscow claims, how
ever, that such a move threatens
the security of the u. S. s. r.
This official protest Of the
Soviet, government Is linked by
diplomats in Washington, Lon
don, Paris and Ankara with the
denunciations from Moscow and
Rangoon, the Burmese capital,
against the activities Of some
imaginary American colonels
and majors who are supposed
to advise and assist q Chinese
Nationalist aggression from
Burma and Siam against Com
munist China. It is true that
there are several thousand
Chinese Nationalist troops In
Northern Burma. They escaped
after the Communists captured
Yunnan and have managed to
stick together under the conf
mand of the Kuomintang Gen.
Ii Mi. These troops made q
successful probing attack against
the Communists last July.
Moscow and Peiping know
only too well that, the American
Government in its anxiety not
to give the Communists any
cause for irritation is doing
nothing to support those troops.
They have managed so Tar to
maintain themselves In Burma

because Of the support Of the
natives and contributions from
4 few wealthy Chinese in Singa-
pore and other parts OF East
Asia.
The protests in Moscow and
the United Nations are consid-
cred significant because they
bring additional indications that
the Communists are preparing
themselves diplomaticaliJ TO
justify military action In South
east Asia and want to claim
eif-defense against the West
ern colonialists."
The Western powers have
definite proof that strong Chi
nese Communist armies backed
by modern Soviet weapons and
technical officers are being
gathered along the borders OF
Indo-C China and Burma. Our
intelligence services no longer
think in terms of "if" the Reds
begin their offensive but when"
they will do it. The consensus
of most military men is that the
Communist aggression may oc-
cur sometime between now and
July, before the monsoon down.
pours start and handicap mill
tary movements. The next four,
months are expected to be the
most critical. Quantities Of tanks
and airplanes are being rushed
from the West Coast to the
French and Viet-Nan1 forces IN
Indo- China. The little but ef-
ficient Siamese army also Is
being assisted with war mate
rials. There is nothing much
that can be done about the Bur-
mese because the government OF
that newly-created republic Is
leaning toward Peiping and
Moscow. Whether these forces.
with the assistance Of Ameri-
can war materials, will be able
to resist the onslaught which
most of the Allied military men
expect in the near future Is not
known. They have been able to
hold their own In the past
against Ho Chi Minis and other

Dovid Lawrence:

When the United Nations ex-
hibits the candor and courage
that 60 with moral force and
tells the whole world that ma
tien which has broken q treaty is
guilty of an onense against the
code of decent governments.
the episode is Of the utmost i'm
portance and deserves the widest
attention.
:, This, however, is not the only
significance derivable from the
action of the U.N.'s principal
committee on world policy in
finding Soviet Russia guilty Of
breaking her treaty with the
National government OF China
which was consummated in
1o45. For what is really revealed
Is q confirmation Of many
charges aired in congressional
committees here that Russia
was constantly undermining the
position of the Nationalist gov
ernment and that the downfall
OF the Nationalists was in no
small part due to the influence
of an outside power-namely
Communist Russia. This Is also,
lii substance, the charge made
In q public speech a few months
ago by Dean Rusk, Assistant
Secretary Of State for Far East
iern Affairs. only to be con-
demned by American opponents
Of the Chang Kai-shek gov
ernment as being a deviation
from the policies Of the Ameri-
can Government and as closing
the door to recognition Of the
Communist government in
China.
It will be noted that the vote
In the U.N. committee was "a
to 9 and that 25 countries abb
stained. Those which did not
vote included Great Britain and
her Commonwealth representa-
tives and France. But Indone-
sia, India, Israel and Burma
voted with the Soviet bloc
against the resolution. Presum-
ably the British and other ma
tions which have recognized
the Communist government in
China felt that to vote for
the resolution would embarrass
them or call into question as in

what 1t was in the long strug-
gle Of humankind to be free and
to work together to. be free; but
he was only expressing what are

people applauded his recogni-
ton of their own best instincts

Senator Taft is doing his

At their Lincoln Day box
supper here next Monday night.
Republicans viii unvei1 on the
national stage their newest po-
.Ntical innovation, the party
chaplain somewhat impulsively
elected by the national commit
tee at San Francisco.
He is the Rev. w. H. BilD
Alexander, whose services at
the big First Christian church
in Oklahoma City awed visiting
correspondents from the ef1ete
East when he was running for
the United States Senate. His
admirers cali him simply the
red-headed preacher; unfor-
tunately for him there proved to
be too few admirers in Okla
homa and Mike Monroney cap
tured the senatorial prize.
BY unanimous consent, Demo-
crats left to Senator Robert s..
Kerr the task Of welcoming
his fellow Oklahoman to Wash
ington, and Senator Kerr did
not fail them.

IS going to pray for the Re-
publicans, and boy, do they

Kerr. "Well, I guess Oklahoma's

consistent their action In pre-
viously having extended recog-
milton to that government.
The U.N. committees reso-
luton declared:
"The Soviet Union obstructed
the efforts OF the National gov
ernment Of China in re-estab-
fishing Chinese National au-
thority In the three eastern
provinces (Manchuria) after the
surrender OF Japan. and gave
military and economic aid to
the Chinese Communists against
the National government OF
China"
The resolution also stated
that, in doing this. Russia "in
her relations with China since
the surrender of Japan has
failed to carry out the treaty
of friendship and alliance be-
tween China and the Soviet
Union Of August "A, 1945."
This is precisely what has
been contended in Washington
by critics of some Of the Ameri-
can advisers in China accused
of pro-C Communist sympathies,
and to some extent it has been
the basis for challenging the
State Department itself on the
grounds that failure to give
wholehearted support to the
National government weakened
the central government and led
eventually to its military col
lapse and defeat.
Under that same treaty. each
side was to respect the others
sovereignty and Russia was OBJ
ligated to give military and
moral support exclusively to the
National government Of China.
The resolution stated that the
Soviet Union has failed to
carry out" these provisions.

the u. N. for q comprehensive
examination of Russian behav-
ior, particularly her breaking OF

Thonos L. Stokes:

Men who yearn for the presi-
dency. until they can almost
taste 1t in every stump speech,
say and do strange things.
That's a recognized symptom
Of "presidentitis." We can ex-
pect much of it between now
and the nominating conventions
and, unfortunately, more of it
afterward in the campaign itself
until the election. We have come
resignedly to accept such.
But it seems proper and timely
to inquire whether there are not
limits even to political license.
Especially in time such as this
when our democracy is on test
before the world and the enemies
of our system are probing for
chinks in our defenses. not only
material defenSes of a military
character, but the spiritual de-
lenses which, in q crisis. can be-
come even more important for
our survival.
These last can be weakened
from within - by ourselves
through self-created fifth
columns.
It seems proper to ask, for
example, how long Senator Taft
should permit himself to go up
and down our land calling the
United Nations stand against
aggression in Korea "a useless
war" and "Truman's war"
Enough of this might well tend,
at least temporarily and at a
critical time, to undermine the
faith Of some Of us in ourselves.
In our ideals as q Nation. and
In the principle Of collective
security to challenge aggressors
and keep the peace for which
the United Nations was estab-
lished in the first instance.
And, at the same time, be-
little the sacrifice Of men Of our
Nation and other nations who
are standing at the ramparts
while the Senator talks.
This is reckless irreSponsi-
bility-and Senator Taft is. or
should be, q responsible man.
He Is an outstanding leader Of Z

party. and he is asking to be our
President and national leader.
What Is Korea?
Korea is the symbol Of that
moment that comes to nations,
as to individuals, when it be-
comes necessary to take q stand
and say NO." if integrity is to
be preserved, and nations must
possess integrity, even as must
individuals. Thus far, and no
farther. It was necessary to say
that, and to back it up. If the
aggressor was to be halted, and
to take a stand exactly at the
place and at the time when the
aggressor tried to step beyond
bounds.
Shakespeare once said it
simply: There is q tide in the
affairs of men :. :"
The tide does not wait.
In our own history. Korea
stands out as q moment when
the challenge was raised and
was met along with Lexington
and Fort Sumter.
In the history Of mankind, ID
will stand out, as the moment
when the new order in the
world, the new union Of ma
tionS! met its first great chal-
lenge. This new union is, in
deed, a great adventure by man
kind founded in the belief that
nations can join together to
keep law and order and justice
and peace in the world. It has
stood up to the challenge as the
other union, the League Of Ma
tions, which we failed to join,
did not. That union wilted un-
der the threat of aggressors.
There are. Of course. those still
who are Of little faith. among
whom seem to be Senator Taft
and who call the U. N. accept
ance Of the challenge "a USE
less war" They would lead US
backward.
Calling the y. Ms bold stand
