Sounding Board Of Nations
U. N. Serves Vtro|ic Tongue Of Wshinsky Quite Well,
But When 1t Comes to Peoee. Thot.s Another Thing

The delegations at the
United Nations seem to have
developed a paralysis of the
brain - though not of the
tongue. Unless they find a
quick remedy it is possible that
this affection may seriously in
jure and eventually destroy
that world peace organization.
Only in this country is there
an unceasing effort to keep the
U. N. alive in the hope that
somehow or other it will be
able to do the task for which
1t was created.
Great indifference reigns in
all other parts of the world.
The far less theological public
in the other free countries has
tired over the unceasing til
rades, interminable debates
and lack Of positive achieve

Neither in Britain nor

tempts to whip public opinion

world ills as is being done in
America.
The efforts of the U. N. sup
porters are highly 1audable.
They have made, however, not
the slightest dent on the dele
gates Of the two sections of
the world which are in open
conflict.
The U. N. is indeed a sound

structive actions toward i'm

board for the invectives of
men such as Soviet Foreign

The East-West conflict which
has brought the world to the
brink Of another world war
is likely to be pointed up ra-
ther than diminished when
the present meetings come to
an end sometime in April. But
more tragic is the fact that
while the Western world Is by
no means united at these in
ternational gatherings. the
East seems to be following
the patterns chosen by the
U.S.S.R.
The representatives of the
satellite countries, which were
brought into the U. N. at the
time when they were still free
in appearance but were later
gobbled up by the Nuscovites,
are natural lackeys Of the So
Wet delegates.
The Asiatic-Arab bloc is hes
liant. But on major issues now
on the Assembly's agenda it
is likely to side with the
U.S.S.R. It is highly doubtful,
If we were to inject the ques-
ton of a blockade of China's
coast to shorten the Korean
war, that our Western allies
would support such a proposal.
1t is frequently said that if
the U. NJ, because of the pres

nothing else but permit the
antagonists to get together in

IF we are saying under the

it's effect was chiefly psyche

Had it proved possible for
the President to put forward a
positive program of action,
the Senators could have been
more easily held in line.
AS 1t Is, they are determined
to get something on the record
to show that their foreign
policy is more dynamic and
better than that of the Tru-
man administration. # they
cannot go forward with Mr..

can cut the budget in suitable
proportions. Mr.. Taber has told

ton.
Except for the farm bloc's
irritation at Secretary Benson
which is temporarily assuaged,
the Eisenhower cabinet has
escaped unscathed. The general
report Is that they are proving
cooperative, though civil serv-
ice has prevented them from
doing much about Republican
requirements in lesser jobs.
There is some complaint that
Sherman Adams, the Presi-
dents chief aide. seems to have
very little time for his former
colleagues. Adams served a
term in the House before be-
coming Governor of New
Hampshire. AS a kind of as
sistant President, he is of
course fair game for those
who are annoyed but do not
want to appear to be criticizing
the President.

Dovid Lawrence:

Gen. Omar Bradley seems to
have made the wrong speech
at the wrong time and in the
wrong place.
AS chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs of STAFF, 1t will be pre-
sumed that he has just spoken
for the top military staff of
the Government. But that isn't
true.
AS the top-ranking military
chief, it will be presumed that
he wouldn't make q speech out
lining what can or cannot be
done in Korea without first
getting approval for his adj
dress from the civilian side
Of the administration. But this
isn't true, either.
The general, in his opening
sentence Of a long, prepared
speech issued formally by the
Department Of Defense here,
states frankly that what he has
to say ION Korea is only my
personal viewpoint and from a
strictly military viewpoint"
Then he proceeds to outline to
q round table" at the Swanky
and exclusive Everglades Club
at Palm Beach, Fla strange
place to make an important
military pronouncement-the
four courses of action that can
be taken by the United States.
Although Gen. Bradley in
sists at the end Of his speech
that, as a member Of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff" he Is recon-
mending neither for nor against
any Of these actions" he
nevertheless evaluated one Of
the four courses and showed
his plain opposition to it.
This is a curious business.
The Russian Communist high
command and the Politburo
are doubtless anxious to know,
as guidance to their cold
war" moves, just how far they
can go in harassing the free
nations Of the world, particu-
larry the United States. It
seems strange that the man
who holds the title Of chair
man Of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff would, without consult
ing his colleagues on the Joint
Chiefs or the Secretary of
State, proceed to give his per-
sonal attitude toward policies
that can only be laid down

meet and are likely to con-
tinue meeting at public func-
tions such as occasional cock
tail parties or official dinners.
But no other conversation ex-
cept the usual social chit-chat
is possible.
The Reds at the q. NJ, like
the policemen In Paris, always
go about in pairs. Even VIZ
shinsky does not talk at social
functions except in the pres
ence of a third party. He
"exudes charm" in Russian
and the interpreter translates
it into English or French. al
though the Kremlin represent
alive speaks both languages
well. The other Iron Curtain
diplomats confine themselves
to a curt "how" or "hm." Any
lengthier conversation might
mean the hangman's moose
when they get back to their
homeland.
The U. N. meetings are,
however. helpful to the Reds
in more than one way. Repre-
sentatives from doubtful"
countries-at present the Rus
slams direct their attention es-
pecially to diplomats from
Central and South America
are invited to private lunch
cons or small dinners where
they are treated to vodka,
caviar and other Kremlin deli
cacies. The warmth of the Red
friendship may unite their
tongues. Most of them are I'M
aware that listening devices,
are installed everywhere in the
Soviet suites and record every
thing that is said.
If a diplomat succumbs to
the ELUSIVE friendliness Of the
Muscovites at social affairs
and is indiscreet about some
OF his personal ideas or feel
ings the record Is eventually
used to make him into q Red
tool. Blackmail Is one of tbs
vital assets Of the Soviet
Unions diplomacy.

Administration Sees the Lioht
Growing Alarm Indicated Over Aim Of Private Interests
10 Grob All Public Lund and Its Noturol Resources

The Eisenhower administra-
ton is indicating growing
alarm that what some private
interests are seeking, with con-
siderable support in Congress,
is not at all the conservation of
natural resources envisioned by
Theodore Roosevelt, whom the
President has made a model
for his conservation policy.
The administration belat-
edly seems to be waking up to
the very clear fact, emphasized
In this column before it as
Sumed Office. that the drive to
Quitclaim offShore oil lands
to the States Is the opening Of
q Pandora's box for a really
big grab Of our natural re-
sources. In short, to estab-
lish a precedent for turning
back all public lands within
the States. That would mean
easier exploitation Of minerals
and metals. forest resources.
grazing lands. and Development
Of rivers for private profit
rather than in the general pub
lie interest. That is directly
contrary to the Theodore Roo
sevelt policy Of preserving our
natural resources by integrated
national management in be-
half Of all the people, which is
not possible If every State
where there are public lands
Is left to its own whims in bar

domain.
Qualms Of the administra-
ton were revealed by Attor-

What Gen. Bradley Overlooked
Wrong Speech at Wrong Time Handed to Russians
An Outline Of How Far They Can Take Aggression

take because of the Sino-
Russian treaty.
Preliminary to this course
of action. it would seem to me
that the United Nations. and
especially the United States,
would have to make long-term
foreign policy decisions on
future relations in the Far
East"
If that isn't an adverse
recommendation against one
of the four courses Of action,
then the words Of Gen. Brad
ley don't mean what they say.
It is surprising that the gen.
eral hands the Moscow gov
eminent on a platter a de-
fensive argument by appearing
to recognize the validity of the
Sino-Russian treaty. This pact
has no standing whatever in
the face of the United Nations
resolution of 1850, which de.
clared Communist China an
aggressor and called on Soviet
Russia, as well as all other
member nations, to refrain
from aiding any aggressor in
the Korean war.
Gen. Bradley is a great SOL
der and a fine. likeable person.

line type Of mind. He can see
World War III only in terms
Of a march across Europe
which, of course, will be pre-
cipitated some day if the allies
allow themselves first to be
driven out Of Asia. Also, when
he says that ''broadened war"
in the Far East might pin
down the bulk of our military
power on the continent of
Asia" he seems to overlook the
fact that a considerable por-
ton Of the Soviet military
power would be pinned down
there. too, and that Russia's
air power would be divided.
For the allies would seek to
smash from the air the single
thin railroad line across ST.
IBERIA. After this vital supply
line to China was destroyed,
the war in the Far East would
be over. Instead Of defeatism
and Illustration, other mill
tary viewpoints are being ex-
pressed here by top military
men-and they don't agree
with Gen. Bradley. either.

issue involved in the offshore
lands. However, a connection
has been argued by Senator
Barrett and other public land
States members Of the COM
mittee at every opportunity
since the hearings began.
Furthermore, Senator Butler,
Republican, of Nebraska, COM
mittee chairman, announced
at the outset of these hearings
that when the tidelands ques-
ton is settled there are plans
for the Introduction Of a bill
that will make the same
theory applicable to public

Democrat, Of Wyoming has
introduced q bill to convey
mineral resources in the public
lands to the States, while
Senator wicker, Republican,
Of Idaho has proposed the sale
to private interests of iva in
the South. These are but
samples of public expressions
on the subject.
The tide is rolling up fast,
until 1t seems to have made q
dent within high administra-
ton quarters. simultaneously,
public opinion seems likewise
to be rising against this pro-
posed reversal Of our estab-
hshed conservation policy, and
the Attorney General clearly
reflected that. He also may
have been influenced by the
testimony before the commit
tee last week by Senator Ke-
fauver. Democrat, Of Tennes-

rotary Of State after consul
tation with the National Sc
curity Council.
Any idea that the Bradley
speech was deliberately plant
ed" by the administration can
be dispelled because one of
the cardinal points in the new
psychological warfare approach
is not to tell Soviet Russia
exactly what America intends
to do.
It seems odd that the speech
was delivered on the eve Of
the arrival in Washington of
Gen. Van Fleet. who says
bluntly that he thinks a United
Nations offensive could push
the Communists in Korea to
the Yalu River. Gen. Bradley
made a speech. too, on the
eve of Gen. MacArthur's first
appearance before Congress,
which was believed to have
been designed to anticipate
and contradict the Macarthur
viewpoint ahead Of time.
What seems strange, too, is
that man who speaks from
a strictly military viewpoint"
as Gen. Bradley claims he is
doing, doesn't say what Ameri-
can military power can really
do in Korea. Also, he dis
cusses various points in world
policy and diplomatic commit
ments in Europe which are
certainly not in his province.
In describing, for instance,
what he calls the fourth
course of action" he says:
1T involves taking any one,
or any combination, of mill
tary steps open to us in order
to get a decision in Korea
even while we realize that it
might eventually involve us in
an about war with Commu-
mist China. We must realize
that broadening the war in
this way might pin down the
bulk Of our military power on
the continent of Asia, and
could eventually develop into
World War III.
I'VE would have to assess
the risk with each step taken.
We would have to be prepared
for countermeasures the Com
munists could take and the

ally the Soviet Union might

other natural resources in the
marginal seas within their
historic boundaries" and not
grant "a blanket quitclaim
title to the land" which is
what President Eisenhower so
bl1thely promised during the
campaign.
This would still give the
coastal States the revenues
from these lands, and thus
would deprive all other States
Of the benefits from them,
such as Federal control would
provide, but ostensibly would
leave title to the offshore lands
still In the Federal Govern
ment, where the Supreme
Court said it belonged. That
would avoid a challenge of
constitutionality from the
Supreme Court If the issue
were raised there again, as it
could very well be If Congress
granted title to the States.
The court said the States had
no title to these lands nor any
property interest therein.
Though citing the consti-
tutional question as the reason
why he opposed a blanket quit
claim for the States, it was
manifest that Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell also was aware
Of the inherent dangers to our
whole natural resource con-
servation policy should the
granting Of title in the coastal
lands be taken as a precedent
for taking title by the States
Of all other public lands.
For, when he was asked by
