ain. North Africa and Germany.
An armiStice in Korea. it is
pointed out, would not free a
single division or air wing. An
armiStice does not mean peace.
We have endured the arro-
gance of the Reds for nearly
two years before coming in
sight of a possible cease-fire.
There is no meeting of minds
OF the enemy, ourselves and the
South Koreans regarding an
actual peace. Even if the ar
miStice is signed, we must re-
main on guard and keep all our
forces in Korea lest the Reds
spring a surprise when we least
expect it. In the meantime
they will be. free to withdraw
some of their estimated ! mil
lion soldiers for further fruit
full adventures in Southeast
Asia.
1t is argued in some military
quarters that a tough attitude
on our part at Panmunjom may
be better solution than shoot
ing in the dark about what we
may be able to do in Indo-
China, when militarily we can
do very little.
Our delegates at Panmun-
JON could be instructed to
overlook diplomatic procedure
and demand that the cease
fire in Korea be accompanied
by orders to the Wet Mimi
forces to withdraw to their old
lines. We could argue that
there is a definite link between
the Korean and Southeastern
ASiatic fronts and that we are
interested in a genuine cessa-
ton Of hostilities and not in a
mere make-believe.
We know that the enemy's
answer will be that the Peiping
government has no jurisdic-
tion over the Indo-Chinese
leader Ho Chi Mini. But we
have heard this argument be-
fore. Late in 1850 and in 1851
the Peiping government in
sisted that it had not inter-
vened in Korea. when the
North Korean armies were pull
verized after the Inchon land
ings, but only Chinese "volun-
teers" had crossed the Yalu
River.

Campaign Issue In Oil Lands
Defeated Senators Believe Groundwork Loid in Long
Fight for Ultimate Reversal of Action by Congress

If the offshore oil and gas is
given to the three or four
coastal States. it will be hard
to deny to the mountain States
the minerals beneath the Fed
eral lands within their borders.
-. This will mean giving away
more tens Of billions of dollars
in gas, oil. gold, silver, lead.
copper and phosphate which
now belongs to the people Of
the United States"
Discussing other contem-
plated raids Of this character,
the Senator said: 1--WE have
spent literally Of our money to
acquire, develop and protect
these natural resources. .. We
have paid out enormous sums
for irrigation. river develop
ment, dams, national parks
and forests, silver subsidies,
protection to sugar, beef, wool,
etc. Now, however, as q re-
suit Of our generosity. there is
a strong movement to strip us
Of our share Of these national
assets"
That. amplified in many
ways, is the issue that will be
taken to the voters in many
States next year and in 1856.
The anti-oil grab Senators be-
lieve it can be made q winning
issue.
Evening star., 1953-05-05

Even the Panmunjom ne
gotiationS seem to have devel-
oped into a protracted talka-
thon that dispels any hope of
a change in Communist policy.
1t. Gen. William K. Harrison,
the chief American negotiator,
is quoted as having said in the
last "a hours:
AFTER participating in the
negotiations for eight months
with these people in which
every day it was a continued
harangue-a typical military
operation-and not an effort
at all apparently to reach some
reasonable agreement. but us
ing negotiations merely as a
means for obtaining their own
objectives. we are really trying
to get an armistice. but unless
am just awful dumb, the cur
rent negotiations are no differ
ent from last summer"
It will be recalled that the
U. N. commander broke off ne
gotiations at Panmunjom last
autumn. The Communists had
to revive their peace propa-
ganda, and so a month ago they
offered a few crumbs to the
allies in the form of a plan to
exchange sick and wounded
prisoners. Fewer than $50
Americans will have been re-
turned under the proposal. One
would think from reading some
comments abroad and in this
country that the Communists
have made a great concession.
Now the Communists are
playing the same kind of game
by holding out as bait the pros
pect of sending back about
5000 American prisoners if
there's a cease fire." This is a
small proportion of the total
who were taken prisoner and
are now missing. It is believed
that about 5000 were either
killed, starved or were tortured
to death. There has been a
tendency to suppress the truth
about the atrocities-again lest
it offend the sensibilities of the
Communists and cause them
to turn away from their al
legged objective of peace-mak-
ing.
But dispaSsionate appraisal
of the situation leads to the
conclusion that the Commu-
nists want a truce in Korea
only that they may rearm and
send troops into Southeast

Constantine Brown:

Can an armistice in Korea
fulfill our hopes that it will
lead to a peace and to stabi-
lization Of the situation in
Asia? This has become highly
doubtful since the Wet Mimi
forces, with Chinese and Rus
sian support, are now threat
ening the whole of Southeast
Asia.
Secretary of State Dulles has
acknowledged the gravity of
the situation in Laos and the
possible consequences of the
fall of that tiny kingdom into
the hands of the Reds. He
admitted that a French defeat
in Laos would pave the way
for conquest of Siam, Cam
bodia and Burma by the Mos
cow-supported Asiatics, prob
ably before the end of the
year.
The chances of the French
hating the Wet Mini troops
are slim. Our French friends
have been caught off base and
it is doubtful if the American
planes. tanks and guns which
are being rushed over can be
of much use. The situation is
reminiscent of May. 1910,
when Premier Paul Reynaud
appealed to President Roose-
velt to send him "swarms of
airplanes" after the Nazi le-
gions began to pour into
France.
Suggestions made over the
week end that we engage mill
ta1y forces in Indo-C China to
prevent the Communists from
sealing off Southeast Asia are
mere wishful thinking. We
just don't have the men and
planes for such a purpose.
Our ground forces are spread
very thin. We have nearly
seven divisions in Germany,
Austria and Trieste. A similar
number are either fighting or
standing by in Korea and ia
pan. The remaining three are
in the United States and are
not available for action abroad

The full implications Of the

The first such claim already

The House bill extending

The so-called peace" hopes
of the administration are bog
ging down badly. Whereas only
a few days ago there was a de-
finite expectation that the So
Wet Union meant to make
peace, there is now affecting of
disappointment.
What makes the situation so
disconcerting. however, is that
the United States apparently is
drifting along with the same
opportunistic approach that
the government of Great Brit
ain, our principal ally, is man
ifesting.
The great cry of the Truman
administration was that Amer
lea and her Western partners
had "repelled aggression" in
Korea, but now it turns out
that in the midst of peace
maneuverS, the Communists
have committed another grave
act of aggression by invading
the kingdom of Laos-a move
which threatens Southeast
Asia. All the effort made in
Korea has been nullif1ed by a
willingness on the part of the
U. N. countries to accept a
stalemate just above the 38th
Parallel.
When the aggression occur
red in Laos, the United States
and the Western allies were
strangely silent. The London
point of view was so paciflstic
that it was urged that moth
ing be said Ito rock the boat"
British reluctance to allow the
United States to use maximum
force against the Reds in the
Far East has turned now into
a mood of impatience lest the
United States say anything to
give the slightest offense to the
Communist regimes in Moscow
and Peiping.
So it was not until after a
week had passed that the
United States ventured to eX-
press publicly a denuncia-
tion of the aggression in
Laos. Prime Minister Churchill
finally told the House of
Commons that Britain was
watching the Red invasion of
Laos with anxiety. Only a few
days ago Mr.. Churchill was
talking about flying to Moscow
to talk peace with Malenkov.
Maybe he is not so eager now.

U. N. Should Demand That Any Armistce Include
Orders to Ho Chi to WithdroW to His Old Lines

1t is true that the situation
is slightly different In Indo.
China. For the time being
only Chinese officers are ac-
companying the troops which
have invaded Laos. But the
entire equipment Of the Wet
Minis comes from China and
the US.S.R. There also are
upward of 100, 900 Red Chinese
regulars on the borders of In
do-China. These are expected
to join the Wet Minis as soon
as important operations in
Wet Nam, Cambodia, Burma
and Siam are undertaken after
the monsoon season.
The signing Of an armistice
in Korea will mean that we
shall have our hands tied. for
an indefinite time. The pros
poets are that peace talks
which might be expected to
start within three months
after a truce has been agreed
on will last for many months.
if not years. In the meantime,
the Chinese are certain not to
be handicapped in their future
operations either by the Amer
lean Air Force or by the
American Navy which is now
pounding daily at the Red
military installations in Korea.

ing manufactured.
The Communist offensive in
Southeast Asia which started
nearly a month ago was un-
questionably planned long ago.
1t was preceded by the offer
of MoscoW's Chinese puppets
to resume the interrupted
cease-fire conference at Pam
munjom. The timing was ex-
cellent; the talks were resumed
shortly after the Moscow peace
dove began to futter over
Europe and when the Wet
Minis were ready to. move.
The signing of an armistice
does not mean peace by any
stretch of imagination. It
merely frees the enemy's hands
to put into effect his gigantic
plans for cinching the vast
Asiatic continent.
