The cease-flre in Korea has
increased, if possible. the dip

miniStration.
There are delicate negotia-
tions with Great Britain which
many describe as the most diff
f1cult in the contemporary his
story Of our relations with that
country For the first time in
many years, the British gov
elnment is faced with definite
opposition from Washington
regarding a major foreign pol
icy issue.
The British are determined
to rush the regularization of
Communist China's position in
the concert of world powers.
They demand openly that it
be accepted into the United
Nations, although an unnamed
spokesman for the British gov
ernment stated that the Pei
ping government must show
itself to be law abiding.
Our Government repeated
only last Tuesday through Sec
retary of State Dulles that it
stands firm in it's refusal to
accept the Peiping puppets into
the U. N. Our relations with
Britain on that subject are
like an irresistible force meet
ing an immovable object.
The Irresistible force" in
London looks to a possible
change in the leadership of
the State Department to attain
it's goal. The reports that Mr..
Dulles-the core of the "im-
movable object" may be re-
placed before the end of the
year by some more "tractable"
personality have found an
echo at 10 Downing Street and
in the Foreign Office.
Mr.. Dulles, who in 1851. re-
sisted successfully the British
conditions in the peace treaty

Should We Stoy In or Get Out?
Most VitoI Decision Facing u S. in Next Few Years
Believed to Be Our Future in the United Motions
Dovid Lawrence

The most important issue
coming up for decision by the
American electorate in the
next few years will be whether
the United States is to remain
a member of the United Ma
tions-and. if so. under what
conditions.
The question will arise not
merely with respect to the
record of action or inaction in
connection with the whole
Korean problem from its in
ception, but it will be given
even more emphasis by the
movement already under way
to revise the U.N. Charter. This
re-examination of the entire
document takes place auto
matically in 1855. But al
ready there are some influences
at work in America and other
countries to use the occasion
to subtract even more from the
sovereignty and independence
of every member country by
a delegation of more power to
the international body.
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, under the
Craftsmanship of Senator
Wiley, is planning it's own
study of the charter-revision
problem. This is in response
to the Gillette resolution Just
passed by the Senate. Such a
committee could undertake
simultaneously a comprehen-
Sive analysis of what the
United Nations has or has not
done, in the last three years
particularly. to carry out it's
avowed purpose to resist
aggression and develop meas
ures of collective security.
Whether one agrees that the
U.N. ought to be made over into
a sort Of world government. or
whether one feels that the
present U.N. organization is at

rity Council for further action
or whether the Assembly will
take over such jurisdiction by
a majority vote and without
regard to the Security Coun-
ellis original action in June.
1850.
There are also other steps
since June. 1850. which would
seem to require explanation.
Why didn't all the member
countries furnish arms to re-
sist aggression? Why did
some countries which offered
aid find that such offers were
rejected by the United States
or by the group which did the
fighting? Why did the So
called collective measures"
committee meet a few times
and then abandon the task
delegated to it by the U. NJ
namely. to devise ways and
means of making effective
what is known as collective
security?
Apparently the U. N. is a
kind OF organization which,
when it once passes a resolu-
ton. has no mechanism to see
that it is executed. It seems
to overlook faithlessness and
disregard of Charter obliga-
tions-such as the trade car
ried on with the enemy or the
arming of the aggressor by
Soviet Russia. Where is there
any authority in the U. N. to
discipline such reasonable
acts? There are lots of un-
answered questions which the
American people will want to
know more about before de-
Gliding whether to help re-
organize the U. N. or to with
draw from it.

CoItornIons Position Seen Entrenched for Duration
Despite Wishes Of Some of His Senate CoILeooIes

Senator Taft's bequest to
the Senate is Senator Know
land Of California as majority
leader. There are some slight
signs of leadership ambitions
among Mr.. Knowland's COL
leagues, but the wise opinion
of the Senate is that he is
safely entrenched for the du-
ration.
Senator Taft planned it that
way. 1t was at some expense
of custom that he named Mr..
Knowland as acting majority
leader during his illness in
stead of the whip, Senator
Saltonstall of Massachusetts.
Nobody was surprised, however,
as he had long shown signs of
favor to the much younger
Senator.
Being Mr.. Republican, he
got away with it. The charge
was made that he disapproved
Saltonstall because he didn't
like Eastern internationalists

him of the presidential nomi-
nation. 1t gained no real
currency, however. as the dill

tor.

Senator Taft, in his much
discussed speech of last month

DR.. Hutchins AssaiIs
Los Angeles Board
BY the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, July 22.-Dr
Robert M. Hutchins criticized
the Los Angeles Board of Edu-
cation yesterday for rejecting a
$4,000 Ford Foundation grant
to finance a teacher training
program.
DR.. Hutchins, former chan
cellor of the University of Chi
cago and now associate director
of the Ford Foundation, said in
a Town Hall address:
"One wonders whether the
real problem of education in Los
Angeles is not that of recaptur-
ing the schools from the crack
pots-from the small but vocal
and highly organized minorities
who are imposing their preju-
dices, and very ignorant preju-
dices, on the children of this
city"
DR.. Hutchins scoffed at the
allegations that the program has
any connection with the contro-
velsial UNESCO, but he also
rose to the defense of UNESCO.
Russia and most of the sat-
elite countries have refused to
have anything to do with
UNESCO," he said, yet there
is a rumor that Paul Hoffman's
support of NESCO left such deep
scars on the sensibilities of the
board that it would have none of
any organization to which he
once belonged, even though this
project has not the slightest con-
nection with UNESCO."
Mr.. Hoffman formerly was
president of the Ford Founda-
ton
