Surprising Stand for Britain
Their Ambassadors Explanation Of Far Eastern Policy
Will Meet With Critical Analysis for Soke of Record
David LoWrence:

It is an open secret here that
relations between the United
States and Great Britain are
not as good as they ought to
be and that differences on Far
Eastern policy are at the root
of the difficulty. So it is an
important step when the
British Ambassador to the
United States, acting un-
doubtedly under instructions
from the British Foreign Of
fee, makes a speech endeavor-
ing to inform American public
opinion on the British view.
Some of his statements are
most surprising and will no
doubt come in for critical
analysis here if only to straight
en- out the record.
"One does not have to be
long in this country" says Sir
Roger Makins, the new British
Ambassador, Ito realize the
depth Of feeling which exists
on certain aspects of British
policy in the Far East but
which, in our view, are eS-
sentially secondary to the main
issues. I refer, Of course, to
British recognition Of Com
munist China and to British
trade policy in regard to China.
1T is a fact that the British
government recognized the
Communist government of
China in Peking in January,
1850, before there was any ag-
greSSion in Korea. But, in any
case. for us recognition does
not imply approval. We recog-
nized only the indisputable
fact that the government in
Peking was exercising effective
control of the mainland of
China.
cit has long been established
that the doctrine Of recogni-
tion of another government
does not signify approval of
the policies of that govern
ment, and it is only recently
that the idea has grown up
that a moral issue is involved.
No one supposed that the
recognition of the Soviet gov
ernment by the United States
government or my own govern
ment implies that the United
States government approves Of
Soviet Communism"
But what are the facts as
diplomatic history reveals
them? Normally, as changes in
governmental structure occur
where q dominant faction has
achieved control Of the ter
ritory of a country, recognition
is automatically extended and,
Of course, no approval Of any
new regime Is intended. But

Human Rights Pact Is a Pawn
Dulles Turned Down Convention Which Reds Pushed
In Concerted Effort to Kill Off the Genocde Treaty

ethnic groupS-was adopted
unanimously by the General
Assembly of the U. N. in Paris,
1948. 1t was signed by the
representatives of 43 govern
ments, including the United
States and Russia, and has
been approved by the parlia-
ments of 40 States, but not by
our Senate.
Genocide is not isolated
killings. These are homicide.
and within domestic laws. Nor
is genocide limited to exter-
minating whole groups by di-
rectly killing them, as Hitler
did in gas chambers. 1t also
consists, and is so defined, in
deliberately inf1icting on
group conditions of life cal
culated to bring about its
whole or partial destruction:
imposing measures intended to
prevent births within the
group; forcibly transferring
children of one group to an
other group; causing serious
bodily or mental harm to the
group as a whole through it's
members.
Stalin's government was &C
cuSed of exercising these
methods to exterminate or
render impotent ethnic or ma
tionality groups. Seven ethnic
groups have either been bodily
eXterminated or forcibly scat
tered to destroy their homo
geneity: the Volga Germans,
Crimea Tartars, Chechens,
Balkarins, Ingush, Karachais
and Kalmucks.
Sources in Sweden estimate
that the three Baltic states
annexed to the U. S. S. R. have
been depopulated by one-third,
this third including the whole
of the national and cultural
leaderShip-a systematic de-
capitation of nations. In place
of the natives, Russians have
been Systematically settled
there.
The kidnapping of $4,000

janissaries Of others, is a
matter of record. Bishop Di-
belius, Of East Berlin, cabled
President Truman in June,
1851. that German children
were being shipped to Russia
to be reared in Soviet kinder
gartenS-a deliberate reduction
Of a nations progeny. In
Lwow, detached from Poland
and annexed to the Soviets,
the entire Catholic community
is reported wiped out as a re-
ligiouS group.
These are not casual atroci-
ties, such as a mob lynching.
They are calculated attempts,
carried out by government,
to destroy family units and ma
tional and religious cultures,
for the sake of creating the
anonymous Soviet man."
And, be it said, there are
apostles Of the U. N. who, in
the name of internationalism,
envisage the eventual emerg-
ence Of a nation-separated
u. N. man!
These people are the strong
est supporters of a universal
human rights convention,
which would be a step in that
direction. The end would be
the disintegration of human
cultures and civilizations.
Were the genocide conven-
ton ratified and not observed,
cases could be taken to The
Hague tribunal as a dispute
between the parties concerned"
No one can revive the dead,
but the object of such a pact
is to prevent genocide, and
the U. N. has means of impos-
ing sanctions against states
judged offenders.

Dorothy Thompson:

In the body of his state
ment on the treaty-making
power. Secretary Dulles said
this administration would not
recommend adoption of a
United Nations covenant on
human rights. Within the pub
lished text of his formal
statement he did not mention
the administrations position
on the U. N. genocide con-
vention.
There is a considerable diff
ference in the import of the
two conventions. and partisans
Of the human rights pact are
by no means identical with
those supporting the genocide
pact.
Communists and pseudo
liberals are trying to kill the
genocide pact by pushing the
human rights convention, in
order to neutralize charges
that the Soviet Union under
Stain had been engaging in
the liquidation of whole
groups.
The U. N. cannot properly
determine laws governing rela-
tions between member states
and their individual citizens.
This would involve strictly do
mestic legislation, not within
the province of the U. N. But

governing the behavior of ma
tions toward each other, or
toward nationalities or ethnic
groups within their frontiers,

them.
An international convention
to outlaw genocide was urged
as the result of Hitler's sys-
tematic determination of Jews
and other groups, such as
gypsies, to prevent anything
similar from recurring. "The

the Franklin D. Roosevelt ad-
ministration. That was the
last great upheaval and change
of management after a long
period Of control of the Govern
ment by the other major party.
Republicans are nettled at
this comparison, and properly.
For the two eras are not COM
parable. In 1888 the country
was almost literally fiat on its
back and gasping from depres-
sion, with no way to go but up.
It was inspired to pull itself up
under bold and imaginative
leadership of a man who con-
fessed he was ready to try any
thing. Now there is prosperity
and full employment and no
need for dramatic measures
Of the early New Deal sort.
The call for dramatics now is
rather in the quest for peace,
and that is not easy.
The objective of this admin
istration, obviously, is what
used to be called years ago "re-
trenchment," with mainte.
nance of the status quo and no
new adventures in reform. At
least so far as domestic policy
is concerned, which is closest
to the lives of people. There
is no excitement in that.

Or. in the plain language the
voter uses: when are they

These questions themselves
suggest a diagnosis. What
seems to be lacking in the ad-
ministration is imagination
and bold and glamorous enter
priseS which, as other admin
1strationS in the past have
demonstrated, stir people and
arouse their emotional interest.
They serve another purpose
also, which is to divert atten-
ton from the customary false
starts and crossed signals
which nearly every new ad-
miniStration exhibits, and
quite naturally. This one fol-
lows the rule.
More was expected of this
administration than a brigade
OF angels could possibly deliver
and right off, quick. That
was due to the depth of frus-
tration among our people over
the worries that encompassed
them. It was manifested, in
the first place, in their search
for a deliverer and, in the
second place, in the nomina-
ton and election of one ready
at hand, a household word and
a war hero, who was asked to
wear that impossible halo.
In letters that come in
patiently from disappointed

spending and a balance of the
budget and, from that, a re-
duction in the tax burden. Re-
publicans discovered that bal
ancing the budget, and conse-
quently tax reduction, were not
so simple once they had taken
a look at the books. Peace in
Korea, which some people
seemed to expect right after
the Inauguration address. now
appears a possibility, but not
because of any miraculous
scheme of ours pulled from the
hat, but from a change in the
Kremlin.
Generally, the administra-
tion thus far has been one Of
negativism, which is the usual
course of "retrenchment," and
that is neither inspiring nor
thrilling for the moment. how
ever salutary it might prove
in the long run. For instance,
instead Of inaugurating a spec
tacular iva, as President
Roosevelt did, the precursor of
a whole series of vast projects
creative in nature, this ad-
ministration has adopted a
static, if not restrictive, policy
in that field. Instead of
launching new social reforms,
all proposals for further Fed
eral advances in the area of
health, education, housing and
the like have been showed into
the cold storage of commits
sions for study as to the extent
of Federal and State participa-
ton. So certain hopes inher-
ent in those-and hope is a
component Of confidence-are
postponed.
Another thing has happened,
too. While public interest
chiefly is in the President, as
always, he has, by lack of dra-
matte ventures, as well as by
avowed intent, let emphasis
shift to Congress. That is a
conglomerate body that never
, gives off a clear light, but a
diffused and unsteady glow.
Congress has accomplished
very little as yet, with the
liNelight at the Capitol mostly
on personalities, notably SEN
ator Mccarthy of Wisconsin.
The President has passed up
the only chance for the spec
tacular and dramatic in that
area by his refusal to enter
open personal combat with the
Wisconsin Senator.
Evening star., 1953-04-13

there have been many cases in
which not only a moral issue"
but international legal issues
are involved. One of these re-
lateS to the capacity of a gov
ernment seeking recognition to
discharge it's obligations in
ternationally as, for example,
in the protection afforded ma
tionals of other countries and
in the behavior of agents Of
that government on foreign
soil.
Many Americans-and per-
haps some Of the experts in
the British Foreign Office who
help to draft memoranda for
ambassadorial speeches-have
doubtless forgotten that the
United States from 1917 to
1888 refused to give diplomatic
recognition to the Soviet gov
ernment and finally did so
under the Roosevelt admins
tration only by a formal agree
ment which definitely set forth
certain pledges by the Russian
government not to allow her
citizens to engage in Subversive
activities inside the United
StateS-pledges that have been
f1agrantly violated since and
warrant the movement in Con-
greSS recently begun which de-
mands that recognition now be
withdrawn because of a breach
of faith.
Nobody can deny that dur
ing all the II years when the
United States withheld diplo-
matte recognition the Com
munist government was in un-
disputed possession of all the
territory of Soviet Russia. So
this is by no means the only
consideration in according rec
ognition.
It will be recalled also that
the Chinese Communist gov
ernment has mistreated for
eigners ever since its accession
to military power. The story
Of the ordeals of British citi-
zens and American consular
representatives is well known.
But what rankles in in
formed quarters in America is
the impression that Great
Britain, a working partner of
the United States in world af-
fairs, didn't play ball with
Washington and despite repre-
Sentations about delay from
our State Department went
ahead on her own in January,
1850, with the diplomatic rec
ognition of the Communists in
China. Now there may be an
unpublished chapter which in
fairness to Britain ought to be
clarified. There have been re-
ports that the British Foreign
Office when discussing the sub
Evening star., 1953-04-13

the Secretary was sending up
a trial balloon. This would
be an exceptionally dangerous
expedient for a Secretary of
State at any time, a danger
certainly increased by current
critical conditions.
The danger inherent in
such a trial balloon, if such it
was, is illustrated by the fact
that despite White House pub
lie reputation, the cynical
French continue to believe Mr..
Dulles original statements
rather than the White House
disclaimer.
Mr.. Dulles leadership in
foreign policy is certainly i'm
paired even if everybody de-
cides OF forget the incident,
which is unlikely. This IMPAIR
ment follows closely upon the
similar embarrassment of Mu-
tual Security Administrator
Stassen in the affair of the
Greek ships.
Other than the President,
Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Stassen
are the two key men in the
formulation of foreign policy.
With the President they repre-
sent America before the world.
Without the Presidents help,
they must go to Capitol Hill
and get from a skeptical Con-
gress funds for the State De-
partment and all foreign aid
programs.
When they are weakened,
the isolationists in Congress
are correspondingly strength
ened.
