Inspecting the New Diplomacy
If Pocifism Is True Reflection Of American Opinion
Why Not End Draft and Bring the Boys Home?

There is another dispatch
under a single-column head
line: aid Increase to Indo-
China Feared" This dis
patch from Indo- China tells
us that French officials "ex-
pressed deep concern over the
possibility that the Chinese
now would turn southwark to
boost the quantity of war ma
terials they have been sending
to the Communicated Wet
MIMI"
The same dispatch also says
that the United States Am
baSsador in Indo- China, Dom
aid Heath, said that the Ko-
rean truce certainly makes it
easier" for Red China to send
in more assistance to the forces
led by Moscow-trained Ho
Chi-minh.
What has become Of the
solemn warnings issued by our
Government and the govern
ments of Great Britain and
France that a truce in Korea
must not mean q build-up of
the aggressor in Indo- China?
Maybe this is one Of the state
ments that now must be over

siliency" that will get the
statesmen on our side of the

Logically, if present-day
pacifisnn and peace-at-any-
price policies are a true reflec-
ton Of American opinion, then
it is to be presumed that the
draft law will be repealed and
serious consideration given to
the prompt withdrawal of
American forces from Europe
as well as Asia. For. it will be
asked, why use military threats
or armament language at all
why not leave 1t all to the
"resiliency" of the new-fash-
ioned diplomacy?

at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Much emphasis has been
placed on the blessings of col
lective security. which is now
being presented as having been
the fundamental reason why
the Communists have not sue
ceeded in swallowing all of
Korea.
Collective security is based
not only on a unity of pur-
pose in the military field but
also in the diplomatic field.
This is, in fact, far more i'm
portant since military opera
tions are only implementation
of policy. They come into
play when diplomats admit
final failure.
We had only nominal mill
tary assistance from our ma
jor allies in Korea, with them
supplying less than 10 per
cent of the effectives.
Collective security was, and
still is, seriously lacking in
the political realm. Because
an all-out campaign against
the enemy. who could have
been vanquished, might have
caused Soviet intervention in
Asia, we were induced by the
allied diplomats to go softly in
the 81 months of the war. We
accepted their thesis in good
grace and finally agreed to
sign an armistice which Com
munist propaganda is able to
show as a victory for the Red
armies.
But the almost indecent
haste of the British cabinet
to announce that it would
struggle to get China into the
U. N. at once lends substance
to the Reds claim that they
have won the war. Thus
diplomatic collective security
is suffering a severe blow. It
proves to the enemies of the
free nations that the United
States and Britain are def
nitely at loggerheads over one
Of the most important situa-
tions confronting us today.

when the British government
rushed to publicly reassure
the Peiping Communists that
they will find Great Britain
Staunchly supporting them at
the forthcoming diplomatic
table to obtain the much
sought seat in the United
Nations.
Selwyn Lloyd, British Min
lister of State for Foreign
Affairs. informed the House
of Commons on Monday that
the government would soon
press for discussion on the ad-
mission of Red China to the
U. N. 1--WE shall certainly
see," he said, ''that (this mat
teri is discussed even before
open negotiations take place."
Mr.. Lloyd was not talking
out of order. Ever since Lord
Salisbury. Britain's Acting
Foreign Secretary, returned to
London, there has been an
effort by the British cabinet
to convey to Washington the
idea that Lord Salisbury was
only pinch-hitting for Anthony
Eden in an emergency and
that he was not making
policies.
Lord Salisbury was the first
Conservative statesman who
seemed to see some merit in
our recent position in the Far
East. He apparently saw be-
yond the immediate profits
the industrialiSts in Britain
and the exporters in Hong
Kong could derive from a
supine policy toward the Chi
nese Communists.
Even before the official news
that an armistice was going
to be signed, the London gov
ernment began to exert pres

mitting Red China to the U. N.

When President Truman an
nounced our stand with the
United Nations in Korea
against the North Korean
Communist aggressor, he was
cheered to the rafterS by Con-
gress. Our people applauded,
too. When a truce finally was
signed, no cheers arose, no
hats were thrown in air-in
Congress or anywhere else.
You could almost hear a pin
drop.
In between, there were three
years and a month. In be-
tween, there was blood-l40,-
900 American casualties, in
Guiding over $4,000 dead. In
between, there was gruelling
war of a most frustrating sort,
and a new kind for the United
States, that is. in objective
and aim. 1t was a confusing
war, with nothing quite GER
tain, and no final victory in
the orthodox manner. Nothing
to stir a celebration. We were
back where we started.
So what? You hear this
question all around.
The asking of the question
and the lack of any soaring
elation with the end Of this
strange war-all that beSpeaks
a new experience for us, and.
in a way, a sense Of maturity.
We have learned that defend
ing freedom is a grim busi-
ness, requiring patience, and a
long business that may go on
and on, even with more Ko-
reas, so that it is not possible
just to write "f1niS" on what
may be just an episode. We
have learned that we can not
pick the terrain where free
dom is to be defended and that,
in the world today, it can be
defended only by collective ac-
ton of all nations imbued with
the instinct of freedom. and
that results are not likely to
be the flaming, certain victory
of the dramatic type. but. a
good deal Of the time, perhaps
most of the time, just holding
the line.
That was what happened in
Korea, and in that respect it
was Q very substantial victory

feel, however, that the pres
ence Of two Democrats in
Korea next week constitutes a
commitment Of any kind.
Mr.. Dulles has not tried to
hide the fact that President
Rhee is a problem and likely
to remain so. He has confirmed
that the United States has
agreed to walk out of the polit-
ical conference after 80 days
if it proves to be a sham. but
he said Mr.. Rhee's definition
of what constitutes a sham
would not necessarily be ac-
ceptable. American action, he
stressed. would be based on
American Judgment.
Congre Ssional leaders
frankly say that they expect
the Korean truce to be an is
sue in the elections next year.
They are not ready to say
what form the argument will
take. they are only sure that
if things go badly in Korea,
Democratic prospects will be
bright.
What is interesting is that
the Eisenhower supporters are
the most gloomy about the
future. They are the ones who
fear his desire to make good
on campaign promise has led
him into unwise concessions.
Such cross currents are still
underground but they will ap-
pear next session when a Ko-
rean agreement, if reached at
all, comes before the Senate

Veteran Senators greeted
the news that four of their COL
leagues, two Republicans and
two Democrats, would accom-
pany Secretary of State Dulles
to Korea next week with the
same cool wariness which they
displayed toward the Korean
truce.
The aim as they see it is to
show President Rhee Of South
Korea that he cannot count on
exploiting political differences
between the two major parties
to reinforce his position.
The deadly parallel, of
course. is to Chang Kai-shek.
Chang has sincere friends in
Congress. He has also prof1ted
greatly from his adoption by
the then minority as a symbol
of Roosevelt-Truman policy
failures in the Far East.
Actually no Democrat has
moved to set up Mr.. Rhee as a
foil for President Eisenhower.
Everything that has been done
in that direction has been
done by Republicans. The
President must know this but
he appears to feel that Mr..
Rhee, does not.
Gen. Eisenhower intervened
personally to persuade the
minority leader, Senator john
son of Texas, to make the

After the truce-what?

After the truce-What?
The answer is already being
given, for the news is filled
with double-talk from some
U.N. officials here and abroad
the start of a welshing on
promises and a surrender of
principles as the sacrifices of
the brave are quickly forgot
ten. In Washington, in Lon
don. in PariS-they are al
ready talking compromise"
and ultimate admission of
Red China into the Security
Council of the U.N. The ag-
gressor of yesterday is to be the
bosom friend of tomorrow,
even though 5000 Americans
who were taken prisoners by
the Reds were instantly mur-
dered, or tortured to death.
A majority of U. N. member
nations are reported ready to
isolate the United States Gov
ernment which officially still
opposes Red China. A sur
prising number of people in
this country. however, seem to
feel that it is time Ito accom-
modate" Red China. Certain
manifestations of the present
day make this writer wonder
if the America he knew and
read about in school is passing
and if the things that used to
evoke American pride and pa
triotism are now Smothered, if
not suppressed, in an atmos-
phere that seeks to make what
is immoral appear moral Di-
plomacy, for example, is viewed
as a convenient device to make
palatable what is plainly
wrong in principle.

ton Post, which has been

toward the government of Red

Korea: What 1t Means to u. S.
Stand Of Free World Against Aggression in 1850 Is Seen
As Giving Substance to Collective Security Theory

While keeping Red China
pinned down in Korea and
thus preventing concentrated
conquests In other directions,
particularly Indo-China, we
also bought time to build up
our own defenSes so that now
we are stronger than ever, in
ourselves, and through the
strength of our allies which
we have bolstered, both by ex-
ample and by actual aid.
Again, with the truce, we
hear the complaint that we
have not come off with an
American" type victory; that
we should have staged an all
out offensive and swept the
enemy out of Korea. The name
of Gen. Douglas Macarthur is
revived as the symbol of what
is meant, even though the gen.
eral was not able to pull that
off when he attempted it.
Again it is being said also that
We were held back by our allies.
Our allies feared risking a
war with all Asia that might
explode into a third world
war and so, as a matter of
fact, did top officials here, in
cluding the military. Signifi-
cant it is that some who would
broaden the war, requiring all
sorts of American resources
and many men, include men,
bers Of Congress who consist
emily have voted against ade-
quate defense appropriations.
Nor do they seem to realize
that, in collective security, de-
cisions can not be individual,
but must represent the con-
sensus of all; for. once the die
is cast, all must cooperate,
else collective security Is no
good.
OF all this Gen. Eisenhower
is aware as he accepts the
truce; but, more than that. he
is grounded in experience in
organizing and directing vast
operations in cooperation with
allies. And, as he said, I'VE
have won an armistice on a
single battle-ground, not peace
in the world" and in that con-
tinuing endeavor We will need
allies.
Evening star., 1953-07-29

that is, if we recognize that
and hold to 1t in the future.
1t is necessary again, if
repetitious. to recall a few
simple, elementary facts-So
that We may go on from here
in confidence.
To. recall that out of World
War II there came a world
organization designed to pre-
vent future wars. That organi-
Zation, the United Nations Gre
ated at San Francisco, finally
got its first test of its collec-
tive security principle, which
is its essence, when an aggres-
scr. North Korea, attacked a
ward of the U. NJ, South Ko-
rea.
At our prompting, the U. N.
accepted the challenge, met
the issue where the aggreSSor
struck and, through all the
vicissitudes of a war up and
down the peninsula, has held
the line. Throughout we rec
ognized that this aggression
was Russian-inspired. When
RuSsia's North Korean satel-
lite could not stand up under
the attack of the U. N. armies.
then Red China entered the
war as it rolled toward her
border, and threw back the
U. N. forces. But the U. N.
line was stabilized on the line
between North and South Ko-
rea. where the war ended, as
it began.
Had the U. N. not accepted
the challenge, it would have
wilted away and died, even as
did the League of Ma
tions. Communism would have
Swarmed over Japan and by
now, perhaps. would have
spread its control over other
free areas in the Pacific. That
advance was checked. Fur
thermore, our bold decision to
stand at Korea and our enlist
ment of the U. N. inspired
confidence in us all over the
world, including the free ma
tions of Western Europe, and
certainly haStened steps by
Western Europe to protect
herself.
Evening star., 1953-07-29

For resiliency-the ability
to adjust quickly to new situa-
tions-is a primary quali11ca-
ton of adept diplomacy. In
this case an indication, now
that we do not intend to
merely stand pat on the China
question, might do a lot to
avoid later difficulty with our
allies"
Then one reads an article
by Walter Lippmann. who is
highly regarded in Britain and
Europe generally. He writes:
"a round table conference
could discuss new constructive
plans for Korea in which Mr..
Dulles promises would be trans
cended and the United States.
to put it bluntly. gotten of the
hook.
"It would be Impossible for
Mr.. Dulles to honor all the
promises, for they are often
hopelessly contradictory and
some are positively weird. -"
There follows a reference to
some of the promises made to
President Syngman Rhee of
the Republic of Korea in par
ticular. which it appears now
we didn't mean to keep at all.
Secretary Dulles evidently will
have a hard time explaining
all this to Syngman Rhee in
the personal conferences of the
coming weeks.
Next one finds press dis
patches from the Communist
side. Having heard in the last
few days some radio speeches
by American officials about
how the truce in Korea is a
victory for collective secu-
rity." it is disconcerting to read
now that Malenkov and Molo-
tov are claiming a big vic
tory" in Korea. One disposes
of these, however, as mere
propaganda" and that's
that.
