AS Is customary in the Far

way for the Communists to get
not only q military, but a polit-
ical victory.
What else can be done? A
time limit on the armistice ne
gotiations can be imposed-not
more than 20 days after
which, unless u. N. terms are
accepted. all parleys would be
dropped and fighting would be
resumed. This kind of maneu-

been taken In May, 1851, when.
as Gen. Van Fleet recently tes-

The entire answer to Korea
is a military one and when
the allies get ready to act in
concert and in strict fidelity to
one another on the matter Of
trading with the enemy, the
terms of peace can be dictated
by the United States and her
allies instead of by Red China

the humiliating fact Of today's

Thomas L. Stokes:

For 20 years the American
people have been accustomed
to a President and a national
administration that sought
earnestly to protect and pre-
serve their heritage Of natural
resources. They have taken it
for granted and cannot con-
ceive that long-esta bliShed
policy can be changed.
How quickly 1t can, and how
sharply, they are suddenly
finding out this week, with
both branches Of Congress
considering bills to turn over
to the States the oil-rich
coastal lands which the Su-
preme Court has held are in
the public domain belonging
to all the people. This is made
the first major measure Of the

enough when he called it
highway robbery in broad
daylight" Matching his ac-
tion to his words, he twice
vetoed q State ownership bill
and, before that, he used his
veto also on other measures
designed to weaken protection
for the public In the field Of
natural resources, including
the Kerr natural gas bill,
which also was pressured by
the powerful oil industry.

The new Ambassador to the

ing made by Malenkov to
strengthen his position inter-
nally. flrst, by reducing prices

and. second. by making Q
gesture Of peace In the Ko-
rean situation.
Both are important moves
by which the new regime hopes
to curry favor with the people
in Soviet Russia. The latter
are fearful Of another large
scale war.
But why does a dictator have
to worry about public opin-
ion"? The late Josef Stain
answered this question once
when he was talking with
Harry Hopkins, personal rep
resentative Of President Roose-
velt at the time Of q special
mission to Moscow. Hopkins
had been talking Of the impor-
tance Of public opinion In the
United States when Stain in
terrupted him to say in effect:
1--WE have our problems Of pub

The danger Of revolution Is
always present in a dictator

expected to keep public opinion
in line for the ruling powers.

pie Of Russia and China, too,
are concerned, they will be told
that the United Nations in
6tigated q war in Korea and
tried to drive its armies above
the 38th Parallel and failed.
From the Moscow and Pei
ping viewpoint, the Korean
war represents a big victory
over the Western democracies.
From the realistic American
viewpoint, Korea witnessed a
major defeat for American
military commanders. But the
defeat cannot be attributed to
their lack Of military skill or
Judgment or courage. It Is

three years after the Korean

prevent contraband cargoes
from reaching Red China's

But will the Korean war be
ended by the new parleys? The
Red Chinese Premier, who has

the U. NJ. on the other hand,
was to secure peace in all
Korea and to punish the ag-

There is little likelihood that
