private Churchillian eloquence
about a meeting with Malen-

The official Washington view
is that the last Russian note
rang down the curtain on the
moderate Malenkov" Of the
days Immediately following
Stalin's death. In the absence
of new and encouraging Rus
sian moves, the administration
will be skeptical of face-to-
face encounters as a means of
ending the present impaSSe.
There will not, of course, be
any dearth of subjects for the
President and Prime Ministers.
Trieste must certainly be one,
the European Defense Com
munity another. They are,
however, all old problems and
we'll worn ways of reaching for
collective security. Any prog
ress on them will be welcome
and important, but it is un-
likely to fire the imagination
or blast the neutralism which
has been taking hold so
strongly in Europe.
Here again it appears that
the President is waiting for
events to help him and post
poning his own program as he
has done with domestic affairs.

They insisted on Govern

public power projects as far
as possible to insure low-coSt

cumbent upon them to press
their programs actively in
Congress and with the public,
within the framework of exist

found it necessary. to point
out attempted encroachments
by powerful private interests
upon what they considered

fled by Congress.
Theye were, in short, advo-
Gates and they were active.
BY contrast, the Eisenhower
stewards of the Interior De-
partment are passive. But,
further than that, their atti-
tude has been one of with
drawal and retreat and giving
ground to the private utilities
in various ways, among them
by Interpretation of existing
regulations in which there is
some leeway and by insistence
upon initiative by localities"
in new projects and expansion
of existing projects, which usu-
ally means the private utilities.

With their well-known de-

the Kremlin demand recogni-
tion of Communist China as a
world power by all the nations
of the Western alliance as
their price for peace.
Without making any concrete
proposals for a fundamental
change in their policies, the
men in the Kremlin imply,
particularly in the European
capitals, that such a move by
the United Nations would ease
considerably the cold war and
settle once and for all the sit

The Soviet diplomats in
London and Paris are working
directly and through their nu-
merous sympathizers at con-
vincing the British and French
governments to use every con-
ceivable diplomatic instrument
to ram down the throat of the
American Government the ac-
ceptance of the Asiatic Reds
into the fold of free nations.
The strongest argument used
by innuendo by our allies is
that unless this country ap-
proaches the situation realis-
tically and yields Ito unpleas-
ant but stark realities" it may
find itself isolated in the near
future. This isolation would be
from the very nations which
we have been assisting for the

selflessly.

The change" that came
with the Eisenhower admin
istration, which has served to
dilute and weaken established
programs and policies in the
field of social and economic
gains, is aptly illustrated in
what has happened in the De-
partment of the Interior, which
exercises jurisdiction over so
much of our vast public do
main and its resources, water,
mineral and metal.
This is now clear after 10
months experience with the
new regime, and it is proper
to point this out in advance of
the next session of Congress,
for which preparations already
are being made here in the ex-
ecutive branch Of the Govern
ment.
Paramount is the change Of
attitude and approach among
top Interior Department off,
cials, headed by Secretary
Douglas Mckay, as contrasted
with their Democratic prede-
cesSors. Supervising the de-
partment in the previous two
decades were the late Secre-
tary Harold L. Ickes, the fiery
"Old Curmudgeon," who served
for 13 years. and thereafter
Oscar L. Chapman, a milder
spirit but just as tough of
fibre.
Both Secretaries Ickes and
Chapman were affirmative,
positive and aggressive in
pushing basic policies es-
tablished under Franklin D.
Roosevelt. notably the multi
purpose development of our
great river systems for irriga-
ton, reclamation, navigation
and hydroelectric power which

a radical organization which
has regularly been denouncing
congressional Investigations on

Gen. Eisenhower with a tart
charge of insincerity on the
ground that he was not apply
ing the principle in the prac-
tices OF his administration.
1t seems somehow to be an
example of political motive"
for the Attorney General of
the Eisenhower adminiStra-
tion to reveal the laxity of
former President Truman in
handling spies in the Govern
ment but not at all political"
or partisan" for the ADA,
now headed by Adlai Steven
sons chief advisers in the last
campaign, to condemn the
President of the United States
by challenging his sincerity.
The ADA demanded that
the President apply the prin
ciple of letting the accused
face the accuSer in three con
crete cases." The first charge
of violation of the principle
was attributed as follows:
TO your own security pro-
gram, which covers millions of
Government employees and
workers in defense plants who
today can be discharged as
security risks without this
right to meet their accusers
face to face"
Now, the foregoing contains
an inaccurate implication. The
method whereby a security
procedure in the governmental
departments is conducted today
is the same as that which
prevailed under the Truman
administration. This provides
that the accused must be fur
nished with a Stenographic

names of witnesses who made
the charges except in those in

Arab states have declared that,
although they will not reopen
the Palestinian war, neither
will they make a settlement on
any terms acceptable to Israel.
They adopt a posture of armed
defense. together with a policy
of resistance. which without
the employment of force aims
at the harassment of the Jew
iSh state. They promise to take
no military steps but refuse
steps of any kind to ease or
ameliorate Israel's situation.
1t is all very well to call this
behavior outrageous. We are
not here arguing the rights
or wrongs of anybody's be-
havior. Right or wrong in a
profound political impasse is
in the eyes Of the beholder.
In Arab eyes the initial wrong
was the partitioning of Arab
Palestine. in favor of immi-
grant aliens, against the
unanimous protests of it's Arab
inhabitants and neighbors,
who gave notice then that they
would never accept a decision
though imposed" by all the
great powers.
Zionist opinion was conf
dent then that the Arab world
confronted by such a display
of strength and world opin-
ion" would "come to terms
with reality"
But this proved false ap-
praisal of reality. The reality
is that the United Nations
has no means whatsoever of
compelling even the weakest
states to cooperate with its
decisions, except by going to
war against them. And the
United Nations cannot, under
any provisions of its charter,
call its members to war against
non-violent resistance to its
DEGREES.
The false assumption Of
ZioniSm was that a Jewish

1t could be established, as
it was. by Jewish arms sup
ported by the political power
Of world Zionism. 1t could
be maintained, as it is, by
perpetual transfusions from
foreign treasures and Jews
abroad.
But a state. to be successful,
must eventually be self
sustaining. And to be self
sustaining. Israel must be able
to trade in the most favorable
markets, which are in its i'm
mediate Near Eastern en-
vironment.

At the same time, impor-
tant Red Chinese troops are
being moved to South China.
There are indications that the
Peiping forces will be ready to
undertake a major offensive
against the Nationalists in
Formosa sometime next fall.
The Red diplomatic strate-
gists hope that by next Sep
tember Peiping will have re-
placed Taipeh in the United
Nations. and such a military
operation will then be de-
scribed as IAN internal affair
intended to do away with the
presence of rebels in For
moSa."
Our proved contentious
that the Reds are striving
more than ever to establish
their hegemony over Asia falls
on deaf ears insofar as our
allies are concerned. We are
told that Western aims must
be peace. This objective is so
vital for humanity that it does
not matter if some individual
nation has to suffer some dis
comforts.
The world cannot continue
in its present tension, we are
now being admonished regu-
larly. 1t is immaterial hence
forth if the vast Asiatic con-
tinent is politically controlled
by Moscow and Peiping so
long as the Western industries
can find an outlet among
those hundreds of millions of
people who are yearning for
consumer goods.
Our allies are also telling us
that they realize that America
is becoming economically and
financially short of breath and
our assistance programs must
soon come to an end. It is
as much to our own interest
as it is to theirs. they say, to
open up trade channels with

A further reality is that,
unlike Israel, the Arab world
as a whole can sustain itself
without Western economic
subsidies, but the Western
powers cannot afford to lose
the oil resources OF Saudi

ZioniSts call this "oil politics."

The further reality is that
