The Effects Of Our New POLICY
1t Would Be lroncol if Policies of Ant-soIutionists
Should Contribute to 1soIotionizinq. of America
Dorothy Thompson:

World leadership requires
followers. A country can con-
sciously adopt a policy of iso-
lation, but it also can become
isolated against it's intent.
This Nations efforts to hold
the line against Communist
states must be in the field of
political strategy, to which
military strategy should al
ways be subServient. If a dy-
manic military policy defeats
a governments political OBJ
jectiveS, or promotes those of
its opponents, then even mill
tary strategy fails.
American political policy is
to strengthen and promote the
unity of Western Europe in CO.
operation with the United
States. and to alleviate ten
SionS between France and West
Germany; to halt Communist
gains in Europe and Asia; and
win the presently neutral
countries to the Western side.
If these aims are realized,
American policy estimates that
a position of political and mil
itary strength will have been
established which will deter
further aggressive Communist
designs, provide a basis for a
tolerable settlement of the cold
war. or, if that proves impos-
sible, make the outcome of a
war launched by the Soviets
more disastrous to them than
to us.
Soviet policy is to Illustrate
this political strategy by a
counter political strategy.
This is to shake the Anglo
American alliance; Illustrate
the political and defense unity
Of Europe; halt, and, if pos
sihle, push back, the free world
in Europe and Asia: and pre-
vent the accession Of the neu-
trail or wavering Middle East

D. {. Merchants See
No Price Increases
As Controls End

Washington merchants, pleased
by the removal of price controls
from a long list of commodities,
predicted today that no price in
creases will follow.
The predictions applied to
meat. canned fish. restaurant
meals. furniture and children
and infants clothing.
The order also applied to a
large number of articles COM
monty sold in department stores
for which the retail and whole
sale price ceilings we're lifted
while the manufacturers prices
still were under control.
Among the items in this last
group are small electric appli-
ances, leather goods, clocks,
toys. sports goods. yard goods.
bedspreads. blankets. comfort
ers, quilts. pillows, curtains.
drapes. laces. linens. towels,
sheets, table cloths, notions and
slip covers.
Practically all of the items
from which the Office of Price
Sterilization lifted the controls
have been selling under ceiling
levels One department store
official replied to an inquiry
with a question of his own:
How can prices on these things
go up when there's so much
competition for the buSinesS?"
Meat prices have been declin-
ing recently. A meat dealers
spokesman said that trend would
not be reversed. He added there
might be even a further decline
in prices of leSs-sought-after
cuts
Robert j. Wilson, executive
vice president of the Washington
Restaurant Association, said:
Lifting OPS controls on res
taurant meals will not mean q
flood Of increased prices. Our
restaurants have always main
tanned reasonable prices and we
feel they will continue to do So"
Seek More Business.
He said restaurant men are
more interested in increased
business than increased prices
Competition from housewives

tors, is heavy. he indicated.

controlled was foreseen by Phil.

China Blockade Appears Near
U ". Could Order Action or Could Leave It to Clark
Or Y. S. Might Toke Up Burden UnoterolN

A blockade Of the Red
China coast is reliably re-
ported to be contemplated by
our Government as the next
step toward ending the Ko-
rean war in the near future.
Admiral Arthur Radford,
commander in chief of the
United States Pacific Fleet,
returned yesterday to his post.
after having spent five days in
Washington in daily confer
ences with President Eisen-
hover.
A blockade Of the China
coast is an operation which
may be more risky from the
point of view of the reaction
of our allies, mainly Britain,
than from the point of view
Of bringing US closer to a third
world war. The allies have
blockaded the North Korean
coast since the outbreak of the
war and at no time have the
Russians attempted to either
challenge or force that block
ade.
The Eisenhower admins
tration, unlike that of Mr..
Truman, considers that we are
in fact. though not in form,
at war with Red China. The
allies have been fighting for
more than two years against
Chinese Communist forces,
which replaced the North Ko-
reans when they were pulver-
lied after the Inchon landings
in 1850 But throughout these
years they have been allowed
to receive by sea some Is per
cent of their needed strategic
materials without any inter-
ference from our allies and
sometimes in conniyance with
them.
In 1851, the late Chief Of
Naval Operations. Admiral
Forrest Sherman, urged impo-
sition of an allied blockade to
prevent high octane gasoline
and other vital supplies from
reaching the Reds. He was
turned down because. he was
told, such an action might
annoy the British. would be
opposed by India and be
frowned upon by the Bur-
mese. And. indeed. the Brit
ish raised a howl when this
suggestion was informally pre-
sented tosthem. India threat
ened to withdraw her sup
port of the United Nations
forces fighting in Korea-a
field ambulance. She did so
later to show the Chinese Com
munists there was no i'll will
IN New Delh1 against them.
The situation has changed
dramatically since Eisenhow-
er's Inauguration. Within less
than three weeks our foreign
policies have assumed an en-
tirely new look" Europe was
told in plain English for the
first time in more than a dec

next meeting in New York at
the end of this month. This
is. however, almost incon-
ceivable, considering the fact
that Britain has officially rec
ognized the Peiping puppet
government. Britain most likely
would use all the influence it
can master in the u. N. to
vote down such a proposal.
90 We may declare uni-
laterally a blockade of China
either on the ground that we
are factually at war with that
Soviet satellite; or Gen.
Eisenhower may ask Congress
to declare it officially against
that puppet country. While the
overwhelming majority of the
American people would indorse
such a decision. there unques-
tionably would be some opposi-
ton in Congress. There are a
few vocally untiring Senator's
who in the past have de-
nounced violently any attempt
to help the Chinese in For
mosa. who would use any
means at their disposal to pre-
vent such an action.
Whatever course may be
taken. it seems certain that
the next step intended to in
duce the enemy to seek an
honorable peace will be a
blockade of the Chinese main
land with or without the as
sistance and approval of some
of our allies.

tern and Asian nations to the
Western bloc, estimating that
if these aims are realized, the
Communist states will be Sc
cure against military attack,
America will be politically
checkmated, and the Soviets
can examine their next steps
at leisure.
In short, both sides are pres
emily engaged in political
preventive war;" each hoping
to realize its objectives with
out actual war; each putting
itself in a posture to accept
war, If war comes.
If this is correct analysis,
every American military move
must be calculated for its po-
itical effect on: American
British West European solidar-
ity; Franco-German relations;
and the reactions of the Mid
die East and of Asia outside
the Communist bloc, realizing
that every political loss is d
political gain to an opponent
and eventually a military gain
to a warning enemy.
Judged within this frame
work, the pertinent question
is:

lip M. Talbot, senior vice presi-
dent of Woodward & Lothrop.
He is also vice president of the
National Retail Dry Goods AS
sociation.
Mr.. Talbot pointed out that,
in a great many cases, the prices
are already below ceiling levels.
Maury L. Nee, treasurer of the
P. j. Nee Co., furniture concern,
foresaw no substantial difference
in prices by the decontrol order.
Furniture prices have been
stable for the last Is months"
he said. Nothing selling now
should be forced up in price by
removal of the controls"
Ends Grading.
One effect of the removal Of
meat price controls will be to
end the compulsory Government
grading of beef and veal.
The housewife is going to de-
eide whether the grading is to
be continued on a voluntary
basis. One meat supplying or
ganization spokesman said, "It's
all going to depend on how smart
the housewife is"
When OPS put beef and lamb
under price controls it required
Government grading so that
prices could be fixed for the diff
ferent grades. Before that, grad
ing was voluntary except where
sales were made to the military.
Compulsory grading of lamb
ended when wholesale prices
were decontrolled. But some
dealers found customers still
looked for the grade stamp.
Some retailers are planning to
continue selling only Govern
ment graded beef. Others have
resumed advertising their own
grade labels. Still others are
waiting to see whether the grad
ing under OPS rules has so con-
ditioned the buyer that she, or
he, will continue to buy meat
according to the. Government
grade.
