Trade With Red Foe Continues
Allies HoIf-Eeorted Position in Korea Is Not What
America Understands as collective Security

any aggresSor government. The
aggression In Korea was re-
sisted by the United States in
June. 1850. primarily in the
belief that this represented
the desire Of European as well
as Asiatic nations who believed
in freedom instead of totali-
tarianiSm.
But it turns out that, while
the United States is left to hold
the bag with $4,000 American
troops stalemated in Korea, an
important move-such as the
release Of our fleet from a
blockade Of Formosa - is
frowned upon publicly by
Great Britain. What is
worse is that, with 10000
American casualties thus far
in Korea, there seems to be a
desire among European gov
ernmentS to let the American
forces bear the brunt of the
struggle indefinitely. This is
not what the American people
understand by collective Sc
curity."
President Eisenhower has
determined nevertheless to try
to extricate the American
forces from their isolated posi-
ton in the Korean war. He
now has put pressure on Com
munist China by announcing
that the Nationalist will not
be prevented from moving
their naval, air or land forces
against the China mainland.
This means air raids on Com
munist railroads by Chinese
Nationalist. It means seizure
or sinking by the Nationalist
navy of any ships carrying
contraband to the China coast.
It means a lessening of pres
sure against the French fight
ing the Communist Chinese,
who travel on the north-south
railroad to aid rebels in Indo-
China.
This is a war of real pro-
portions, but inside America
there is already sniping at the
President by some partisans
in Congress. and on the radio
and in the press who deride
their own country's policies
and. in effect, express approval
of the British protests. OFF,
cially, while the British govern
ment in the spring of 1850
recognized the Peiping govern
ment. London has never VEN
tured to withdraw or disavow
that recognition even though
there has been an aggression.

Mr.. Dulles further said that
a divided Western Europe, as
exists today. will never ac-
complish this purpose. But
Europe, united politically. mil
itarily and economically, will
mquestionably be able to re-
sist Russian aggression and
without resorting to force push
the MuScovites back to their
natural boundaries.
The peace contract with the
Western German Republic and
the EDO are only the first
steps to a European confedera-
ton, a goal which many far
sighted Europeans have peen
striving to achieve for some
time. This is what former
French Foreign Minister Schu-
man and the present German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
had in mind when they put
through the plan for a Eu-
ropean coal and steel cartel.
It was also this thought that
decided Rene Pleven, the
French Minister of National
Defense. to propose the or
ganization of a European army
instead of the present national
armies representing five West
ern nations in the NATO forces.
This defense idea was not
pressed sufficiently in the past.
Washington adopted an atti-
tude that the Senate's indorse-
ment Of the plan by an early
ratification Of the two treaties
should be enough inducement
for our allies to do the right
thing.
Former Secretary of State
Acheson was reluctant to do
anything that might be in
terpreted even by implication
as coercion of our allies. Yet
1t became clear that this con-
Germ Of ours not to offend our
friends in Paris even slightly
by words or deeds would lead
only to temporizing by the
French Parliament, with re-
Sulting increased tension be-
tween the French and German
people.
The creation of an economic
and military pool in Western
Europe is essential to it's sur
vival. Unless this can be
achieved, all the billions given
to our friends in the past and
those we may have to give
them in the future will be
wasted. This is an axiom
which President Eisenhower
and Secretary Dulles have re-
allied for some time.
Gen. Eisenhower has had an
intimate knowledge of Europe's
political affairs since the time
he became supreme COM
mander of the allied armies.
In that position he handled

David Lowrence:

Just two years ago-on Feb
ruary /, t951-the United Ma
tions Assembly adopted q res
olution denouncing Commu-
mist China and the North
Korean puppet regime as Gag
gresSors." All members of the
U. N. were formally called
upon to refrain from giving
them aid.
A specific request to all ma
tions to embargo the ship
ment of armament and strate-
gic materials was made, but
the replies were conflicting.
Trade with Communist China
continues. Rubber for mill
tary vehicles and aviation gas
oline are today being trans
ported by water routes to
Communist China. The q. N.
has failed even to recommend
a blockade.
AS for the resolution declar-
ing Communist China an "ag-
greSSor." it appears meaning
less now. The British gov
eminent of Churchill and
Eden a few days age inter-
posed a yelled protest-an ex-
preston of "concern"-when
the United States announced
1t would no longer use it's 7th
Fleet to protect Communist
China from raids by the Chi
nese Nationalist on Formosa.
And within the last "a hours,
Herbert Morrison, former For
eign Secretary, announced in
Parliament that, despite the
status Of Communist China as
an "aggressor," the Labor
Party favors admitting Red
China into the United Nations
anyway. The Laborites op-
pose any support for the Chi
neSe Nationalist and ask in
stead 1.-The active protection of

No Di|Iy-Do||ying for Dulles
Secretorys UItnotum Nay RuffIe European Feathers,
But It Wos the Only Way to End Present Impose

Secretary of State Dulles
has offered Europe a choice
between consolidating it's
forces before April 20 or losing
Americas support.
The fact that Mr.. Dulles
put a time limit will inevitably
pe interpreted by our allies as
an American ultimatum" and
is likely to ruffle many
feathers, particularly in over
sensitive France.
Our Government does not
have the slightest intention of
offending its European allies.
The time limit was considered
necessary in the light of the
interminable delays in ratifi-
cation of the peace contract
with Germany and the Euro
pean Defense Community
treaty. Both of these diplo-
matte instruments which were
signed in good faith at Bonn
and Paris were ratified last
summer by the American SEN
ate and the British House of
Commons. Neither the United
States nor Britain is an actual
member of the EDO, but they
are the backbone of the North
Atlantic pact. Their military
forces in Germany represent
more than so per cent of the
total NATO strength.
None of the parliaments of
the six countries directly con-
cerned with this European
Defense Community has rati-
fed either treaty. The princi-
pal obstacle has been the op-
position of the French National
Assembly, which has insisted
that the settlement of the
Saar question-w which has
nothing to do with the Edo
precede any vote confirming
the Paris pact.
The French Assembly also
demanded that the agreement
signed by former Premier
Antoine Pinay and Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman be
revised to give France a free
hand over her own armies.
Behind these demands lies
the bitter Franco-German
rivalry and the French sus-
picions that once Germany be-
comes even a "second-class"
partner in the Western Euro
pean coalition, she may in a
short time become the domi-
nant power on that continent.
Mr.. Dulles explained to our
european friends that the Gre
alton of an impregnable wall
against the driving forces of
Soviet aggression was the pri-
mary reason why America has
given them unstinting aid
amounting to more than $50
billion since the end of the
war.

much comparatively as some

the vexing problems, in agri-

Thomas L. Stokes:

In his campaign President
Eisenhower very carefully
avoided commitments for new
ventures in the field of social
welfare. He promised only to
seek expansion of the existing
social security system and
otherwise not to turn the clock
back.
He is following his prescrip-
ton, offering no surprises At
the first opportunity, in his
message to Congress. he rec
commended prompt extension
of the social security system to.
cover millions not now in
cluded.
AS for other programs in
the realm of controversy and
long agitated-health, educa-
ton, housing. among them-it
is apparent that, so far as he
is concerned, the stalemate
that existed all during the last
administration will continue
for some time. Harry Truman
urged, but Congress blocked
him at every turn with few ex-
ceptions.
President Eisenhower is pro-
posing nothing, and not urg-
ing. Instead, he has showed
such controversial issues into
a commission for study. In
this technique he has COM
bined a gesture to the States
Fighters. For the commission
which he soon will appoint will
devote itself to seeking a for
mula defining how much in
these fields should be done by
