to have been completed. The
construction and rehabilitation
work was done in keeping with
the armistice terms. The op-
position of technical men
against this armistice clause
was overruled by optimistic
diplomats who believe that
once you start the peace talks
rolling there is no real need

Tens of thousands Of men and

fairly substantiated. Other
reports from similar sources
in China say that more U. S.

race have been brought either
into North Korea or very close
to its borders for any eventu-
ality.
We. on our side. have lived
up scrupulously to the armi-
Stice terms. No reinforce

from the United States. In
order to occupy the leisure
time of the men Of the 9th
Army we have strengthened
our defense lines south of the
38th Parallel but have not
perfected our equipment. It
is true that during these five
months the training Of the
ROK divisions has been in
tensified and more men Of
draft age in that country have
undergone basic military train
ing. But no modern equip
ment has been provided for
these future ROK soldiers be-

Significance Of Russian Crisis
Internal Troubles, Such as Consumers Discomfort,
Seen as Indicating Possible Soviet Peace Desire

There is some reason to
think that the Soviet Union
may genuinely want peace.
That is its own internal crisis.
The Malenkov government
has made an extravagant
promise, greeted by a surge
Of popular enthusiasm. That
promise-for the first time in
Soviet history-is priority to
consumers, -
Since the first five-year
plan, over Is years ago, every
priority has been given to
production of capital goods.
To make the U. S. S. r. self
sustaining in heavy industry,
consumption has been ruth
lessly sacrificed. Great achieve
ments in heavy industry have
not been reflected in the
amenities, or even the neces-
sites. Of everyday life. Now,
eight years after the war, there
is revolt. 1t does not threaten
the Communist political struc-
ture as such 1t does threaten
the leadership. The Malenkov
government must make good
its promise or risk being sup
planted.
The tendency is reflected in
the Soviet press which has
been featuring news of butter
imports and pictures of ships
unloading Argentine meat.
The Soviets are importing
fairly large amounts of food
and consumers goods, against
manganese, chrome and crude
oil.
The Western Communist
press also reports that popular
interest in a radical expansion
Of consumption transcends
every other issue.

Services Benoun Wilson Cuts
No Other Course Seen for Secretary, Considering
Dim Hopes for Any New Major Revenue Sources

have gone glimmering In the
face of congressional opposi-
tion from both parties. Prom
ised tax cuts to be delivered
in 1854 will cut the revenue
the Government now has, as
will any decline in the general
level of business next year.
Thus the Defense Secretary
had very little choice.
In his important speech last
week at West Point, Admiral
Radford, appointed chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to
give a new look at military
policy, announced the decision
that except for a recommended
expansion of the continental
defense system, the balance be-
tween the services would be
maintained about as it had
been previously. This may be
the policy, but one effect of
the newly ordered reduction in
force will be to change the
present balance, no matter how
subtly. This has not been
lost on the Army. ThatAervice,
being the largest in terms of
manpower, will perforce take
the heaviest cut. And at a time
when the Air Force will be
permitted to continue to grow.
This reflects increasing reliance
on our bombs, fission and
fusion, as weapons of decision.

Experiments are being made

1T is hoped that such large

will develop new and CONNER

Acc said in a report on this
phase of its research.
Any one who has had a peek
only into the field of poten-
tial miracles in medicine and
agriculture can appreciate,
even though not scientist,
just what. the new vision
opened by Gen. Eisenhower
could mean for the world and
its inhabitants-if the Rus
slams would only see it, too.
To paraphrase an old say
ing, it's much better than a
hole in the ground where a city
and people once lived. And it
costs so much to make those
big bombs that make the holes
in the ground and strew the
corpses about willy-nilly.

sumption will rise spectacu-
larly in so short q time"
8 He also reports that Gus,
toners In stores are rushing
for the governments "sugges-
tions and complaints book"
and making plenty of both.
Rare for a Communist re-
porter. Parker registers a great
variety of criticism and adds
some Of his own. Everything,
he thinks, can be cured by ad-
ministrative changes, but these
involve administrators who are
being changed continually,
even desperately.
Emphasis on imports sug-
geSts that Soviet leaders know
they cannot fulfill their prom
ises in immediate time from
Soviet OF satellite sources. The
picture seems to show that to
effect a spectacular rise" they
need tradetwith the West.
Incidentally, the most recent
speech of Malenkov paid lip
service to communism and
otherwise read like a cham
ber of commerce pep talk.
If this analysis is correct.
the diplomatic question is

when they really were uttered
as a threat of retaliation only
in the event of attack by an
aggressor. So far as world
opinion is concerned, the
Soviet Union will find it nee
essary in a matter of days to
deal sympathetically with the
American proposal for a pool
ing Of atomic-energy knowl-
edge for peaceful purposes.
No matter how much Mos
COW may quibble and argue,
the Soviet government will be
compelled in the court of pub
lie opinion to make at least
a gesture by giving considera-
ton to the Eisenhower plan.
Sometimes in diplomacy a
government accepts the prin-
ciple first and then later de-
bates at length the applica-
ton Of the principle. The
Communists are too sensitive
to propaganda currents In the
world today to lose q chance
to show that they. too, want
atomic energy for both peace
and war placed under inter-
national control.

on and the idea of a "hot

The rest of America may be
preparing to deck the halls
with boughs of holly, but there
is little Christmas cheer at the
Pentagon this year. Defense
Secretary Wilson has ordered
a 10 per cent cut in manpower
for the armed services, the Air
Force excepted. Muffled groans
nave been rising for weeks from
the great building on the banks
Of the Potomac in anticipation
of the cut. The fact that the

largely muffled is a tribute to
the fact that Secretary Wilson
has at last gotten on top of

Not notably public relations

General Motors was roundly
criticized early this year when
he made his first efforts to re-

then came not only from
sources close to the armed
services, but from Congress
and the public, both genuinely
disturbed by the possibility Of
weakened defenses in a critical

Our research into peaceful"
application of atomic energy
is q pigrny compared to the
giant of military use with its
Gorgon's head of bombs and
guided missiles and what-not.
This lopsidedness indicates
how vast a field would be
opened up by emphasizing and
concentrating on peaceful uses
through the international
agency proposed by President
Eisenhower in his inspiring
speech to the United Nations.
Under his plan, this agency
would have control of an in
ternational bank" of fisSion-
able materials-contributed by
us, the Russians, Great Brit
ain and Canada-to devote to
research in medicine, agricul-
ture. production of power, and
the like, all to better our lives
and develop undeveloped areas
of the world.
Everything depends on Rus
sia and whether calculated
consideration eventually out
weighs her first hostile rae
tions to the Eisenhower pro-
posal.
For a comparison that sheds
some light on the relative po-
sitions Of peaceful" and mill
tary research and develop
ment with us, we may take the
sample of dollar investment
in plant and facilities. Up to
the first Of this year. a total
OF $25 million of research IA
cilities had been constructed
since 1948 for the biology
and medicine program of the

in all Acc facilities, which is
predominantly for the military
program. was "a billion. Thus.
percentage-wise, the medicine
and biology program repre-
sented three-fifths of one per
cent of the total so far as
facilities were concerned.
While no major new facil-
tiles for that program have
been built during this year,
construction has gone ahead
steadily on other facilities
from a backlog Of SIS bill
lion already appropriated by
the present and previous Con-
crosses, which will make some
$7.S billion when completed.
A facility Of which the Acc

medical program are justly
proud is Argonne Cancer Re-
search Hospital at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, which was
dedicated last March. 1t cost
$4.180.000.
It is not necessary to point
the moral by contrasting the
81 million and the SIS billion.
The cancer program Is ex-
tensive, though limited to re-
search and confined only to
activities that do not duplicate
the work of other Government
agencies and private founda-
tions. It is carried on not only
at Argonne Hospital, the ia
cilitieS of which are available
to 80 universities and research
Institutes in the Midwest. but
also at Brookhaven National
Laboratory on Long Island,
with which nine big Eastern
universities are affiliated; at
Oak Ridge Cancer Hospital,
Oak Ridge, Tenn, where is
also located the Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies
of which 80 Southern colleges
and universities are sponsors:
and at the Pathological Lab
oratory at the University Of
California at San Francisco.
Various phases of the cancer
problem are under investiga-
ton at these four centers, as
well as at the universities and
medical schools in which re-
search is financed and. sup
ported by the Federal Govern
ment.
Cancer comes within the

World peace is nearer as a
consequence of President Eli

United Nations Assembly
and the best confirmation
comes from Moscow itself.
For, while the Soviet COM

for the moment and does not
analyze the proposals to pool
atomic-energy knowledge for
peaceful uses, the most i'm

Of the Soviet Union evidently
hit its mArk. Moscow'S COM
mentS indicate that they got
the point-that. If there Is
an aggression, the retaliation
with atomic bombs will be
made with all the quantitative
force of atomic weapons the
United States can instantly
mobilize.

significant comment initially:

Of this policy Of force"
The Soviet commentator
stated a half-truth-for Gen.

only as against a surprise ag-

note what passage attracted
the attention of the Soviet
government. It was this para
