Editors Hopeful, but Cautious on Red Truce

tor Of the Peoria (Ill.) Journal:
II went to Kaesong when the
peace talks started in 1851 and
left after two months, worried
all the way home that they'd
reach a settle ent and I
wouldn't be there. It's a good
thing I didn't stick it out.
II feel chances of peace in
Korea are most favorable. The
secret to that is that the peace
moves come from them. think
Mao's plan is to unite China
under his rule and he wants to
take his army home for that
purpose"
M. E. Walter, editor of the
Houston (Tex.) Chronicle:
We'll have peace if Russia
thinks it is to her advantage.
How can sane man try to figure
what an insane man is thinking?
believe it will be a sort of an
uneasy truce for a while.
& 1T is the most dangerous
period we're going through now.
All sides here are shouting to
bring the boys home, cut taxes,
stop rearmament. If Russia de-
liberately tried to find way to
damage us. she couldn't do bet
ter than to upset our economy
by forcing this conversion and
reconversion."
E. S. Turner, Sunday editor
of the Syracuse IN. W Herald
Journal:
I'VE should take the peace
offer at face value and not hol-
ler til we're hurt-and always
be on our guard"
Melville F. Ferguson, editor
of the Philadelphia Bulletin:
If the question means a ces-
sation of fighting, I think the
prospects are good. I think the
Reds want to stop. But
cannot see any settlement of the
territorial problem. The United
Nations will have to step in on
that"
Stanley E. Hart, editor, War
rem (OhiO) Tribune Chronicle:
II am skeptical of the sincerity
Of the RussiansA The Russians
are using it as move in the cold
war. I do nov think the leopard
has changed his spots. The So
vietS are going to use it to their
advantage. We do not know
what's going on inside Russia.
This may be an internal strategic
move.
"All the Russian leaders are
advocates of Lenin's Commu-
nism-and that means world
conquest. They have not changed
their program. I think the
American people would require a
lot of explaining if we fell for
truce plan which at least did not
give us satisfactory peace.
1--WE have had around 10000
casualties. We can't write those
off and leave it the way it was in
the beginning. The parents Of
the dead and wounded and 9TH
ers who fought in Korea are en-
titled to some real considera-
tion."
Charles A. Hazen, managing
editor, Shreveport La Times:
'The Russians are merely
seeking more time to increase
their armament, in the hope
that our economy will run into
difficulties. It will be a grave
mistake if we fail to increase our
armament and preparedness
with each month that passes"
Fred w. Stein, editor, Bing-
hamton IN. " Press:
"I think the Russians have
been bluffing for years. And I
think we will be suckers if we
don't drive a tough bargain with
them now, when they are
seemingly anxious for peace. I
am not one Of those, however,
who believes in going out in a
lot of ame-calling. I think we
should be dignified. but firm. 1t
means that we should not make
a peace which the historians will
say we have lost"

Korea, but they are cautious in
their predictions about Com
munist moves.
Members of the American So
ciety of Newspaper Editors, meet
ing in the Hotel Statler, were
asked their views on peace pros
pets. Many suspected that the
Reds are trying to buy time.
Here are some typical comments
of the newspapermen:
Charles A. Guy, editor and
publisher, Lubbock (Tex.) Ava
lanche journal:
"I think we will have peace
in Korea, after a fashion. They're
buying time-time for Malenkov
to solidify his position, time to
prepare for a. break out some
place else, or both.
"It is no time to let our guards
down. I feel they will subject us
to an injection of peace for two
or three years. hoping we'n get
economy minded. After we let
everything go. are lulled to sleep,
then bang. don't think there is
any possibility of our living to-
gether in one world without war.
know that is a terrible thing
to say, but I believe it,"
Frank Jenkins, editor and
publisher, Klamath Falls (Oreg.)
Herald and News:
IT don't know. I was in the
European theater in 1914 and
1945 as a correspondent. I came
away with a strong feeling that
the Russians were going to have
trouble holding down the satel-
lite countries. I feel trouble is
brewing in the Communist
system.
1.-THE Russian GIs, if you
could get them away from the
officers, talked freely. They
didn't think much of their own
system. They thought a lot Of
what they saw in Germany and
Austria.
1.-The present proposals look
like a time-saving device to me.
But we should not ignore them
and should keep our finger on
the trigger"
Kenneth S. Conn, editor. San
Jose (Calif.) Mercury Herald and
Evening News:
''It looks good, but everybody
should keep his fingers crossed.
I don't know if the peace is ex-
pediency or a step toward a So
luton of the world problems
toward permanent peace"
Lenoir Chambers. editor, Nor
folk (Va.) Virginian-PilOt:
1T looks better than it did
two or three months ago. But I
am very suspicious about the
whole thing"
Dow Richardson, editor, Ko-
kOmo (Ind.) Tribune:
"I believe there will be an
armistice. We probably will have
to agree to a divided Korea and
that will mean no peace settle
ment for years.
Those people haven't had q
change Of heart. It's incredible
to believe they have.
1.-The encouraging thing is that
we are not going to be trapped.
The Eisenhower administration
knows this is not a permanent
change of heart on the part of
the Russians"
w. Earl Hall, editor of the
Mason City. (Iowa) Globe
Gazette:
ST feel we will get peace If
it is to Russia's advantage to
have peace. If peace comes. it
will be prima facie evidence that
the Kremlin found Korea to be
an Improbable operation.
"It might be the Chinese are

quite as much as in 1852.
Three Factors
MI Kruger pointed out that
farm prosperity depends in gen.
eral on three things + general
econ mic situation. demand for
commodities, and supply Of COM
modities.
Speaking about the outlook for
non-farm workers, Mr.. Kruger
made these predictions:
First. urban people will have
about as much money to spend
fer food in 1858 as they did in
1852.
Second people will buy food
somewhat more sparingly and
carefully next year.
Third. decline in buying will not
be drastic in 1853.
Il feel. however, that more
pronounced decline is III the max
ing for 1854 and SIS" he said
Tighter Squeeze
In addition to slightly lower
prices and slightly increased
farming costs III 1858, the speaker
said that these factors will result
in "a little rcre of price-cost
squeeze than farmers had in 1852.
This squeeze will not be serious,
but some downward adjustments
viii have TO be made
Each month since last August
there has been A decline Of 2 to
3 Per cent over the farm prices of
the preceding month. The rea-
son for this drop is that demand
for food has about stabilized, but
production has continued to in
crease" the specialist observed
The speaker said that his fore
cast was based en- careful study

information available at this

did spend considerable time in or

under the influence Of the follow

II is ironic that while Penn was

For almost 20 years after his
