Of purpose in defending vital
interests.
A great effort is being made
by Communist propaganda to
portray it as something evil
if Asia joins with the nations
of the Americas and Europe to
get assistance which will help
the peoples Of Asia to secure
their liberty. These Commu-
mist nations have, in this con-
nection, adopted the slogan
Asia for the Asians."
The Japan eSe warlordS
adopted a similar slogan when
they sought to subject Asia to
their despotic rule. The similar
theme of Europe for the Eu-
ropeanS" was adopted by Mr..
Molotov at the Berlin con-
ference when he proposed that
the Europeans should seek Sc
curity by arrangements which
send the United States back
home.
Great despotic powers have
always known that they could
impose their will and gain
their conquests If the free
nations stand apart and none
helps the other.

Secretary Outlines
Korean Situation

BY the time I left Geneva,
the Korean phase of the con-
ference had been organized
and was we'll under way. I will
speak first of that, and then of
do-China where the fighting
is still active and where the
question of possible United
States participation has to be
considered.
For many years Korea has
been the pawn Of great powers.
Russia. Japan and China have
abused and exploited Korea
and kept its people in servi-
tude. The Koreans now want
only to be united and free and
left alone. Yet. in fact, Korea
is divided. and North Korea
lives under the Chinese Com
muniSt yoke. In all decency it
would seem that the Commu-
nlstS should allow the Korean
people at long last to live their
own lives and to satisfy their
aspirations for freedom.
When the Geneva Conference
was organized. the Communists
put up their program for unit
ing Korea. Unhappily it was
not a program to satisfy the
desires of the Korean people
for unity and freedom. It was,
as President Eisenhower said,
"a Chinese copy" of the Soviet
scheme for the unif1cation of
Germany. Their idea is to
have elections so set up that
the Communists can dictate
the outcome and thus impose
their rule upon the whole
country.
In the case of Germany.
the Communists controlled
Eastern Germany, with about
one fourth of the total Ger
man population. In the case
of Korea. they control about
one sixth of the total Korean
population. They insist, how
ever. in both cases, that this
gives them the right to equal
participation in determining
the election conditions. Also,
they stipulate that there must
be no impartial supervision or
observation of the elections to
be sure that they are fair and
free of coercion.
The Communists feel conf
dent that under these condi-
tions they can make their can
didateS seem to win.
This scheme. when offered
for Germany, was turned down
by the Federal Republic of
Germany and by the three
Western powers at Berlin. The
same scheme is equally objec-
tionable for Korea.
I can assure you that the
United States delegation win
do all that lies within its
power to promote, by peaceful
means. the independence and
freedom and unity of Korea.
More than 100000 Ameri-
cans were killed or wounded
under the United Nations
command to keep Korea from
being overrun by armed inva-
sion. / promise you that we
shall not surrender at the
council table at Geneva the

freedom for which so many
fought and died.
We are pressing the Commu-
nists to accept honest elections
which will be supervised by
responsible outside observers,
who will assure a really free
election. Whether the Com
munists accept that remains
to be seen. If they would. then
I think that Korea could be
unified.
Evening star., 1954-05-08

I welcome this opportunity
ito talk with you about the con-
ference now going on in Ge-
ineva and the related aspects
of our. foreign policy.
/. First of all, I join with you in
;paying tribute to the gallant
defenders of Dien Bien Phu.
MAY it be given us to play a
;worthy part to defend the val
:ueS for which they gave their
lives.
I This week I returned from
1.-The Geneva Conference. My
return vas not connected with
;any developments at the con-
ference. AS long ago as last
February when the conference
twas called, I said I would at
:tend only the opening sessions
land then have my place taken
;by the Undersecretary of State,
:Gen. Bedell Smith. He is high
!ly qualified to head our dele
;gation at Geneva.
/; Since the conference may
last for some weeks, I did not
:feel able to stay with it that
.long. I have been out of the
United States during much of
:the last six months to attend
the Bermuda Conference, the
Berlin Conference, the Caracas
conference, and two NATO
Council meetings in Paris.
These meetings strengthen
the links with our allies and
enable us to present the po-
lsition of the United States
to others. But the Secretary
:of State must also keep in
.close touch with our own peo-
tple and with the Congress. In
order to exercise our full in
f1uence in foreign affairs, the
Government must have the
understanding and support of
the American people for it's
policies.
The Geneva Conference has
two tasks. The first is to try
to find a way to unity Korea.
The second task is to discuss
the possibility of restoring
peace in Indo- China.
The SOVIET delegation. how
ever. has sought to use the
conference for other purposes.
BY various devices, it has
tried to create the false i'm
preston that this meeting ac-
cepted Red China as one of
five great powers" or con-
ferred on it a new interna-
tional status.
Both of these issues had
been fought out in connection
with calling the conference and
the Soviets had then conceded
that the conference would not
be a five-poWer affair nor in
volve any recognition for Red
China. We and our allies stood
firmly and solidly on that
position and the Soviets ended
by accepting it.

ing belief by the French people
that France was over ex-
tended, in view of its rcspon-
sibilitieS in Asia, in Africa and
in Europe. AS a result. when
I met in Berlin last January
and February with the Foreign
Ministers OF France, Great
Britain and the Soviet Union.
the French government asked
that the projected conference
on Korea be expanded to dis
cuss also the problem of peace
in o-China.
Shortly after the Berlin con-
ference adjourned, the Com
munists, as was to be expected
from them, began to expend
their military assets, human
and material, in a desperate
effort to win some victory
which they would exploit for
political purposes. They con-
centrated on a mass assault
against one of the French out
posts-that of Dien Bien Phu.
That assault was pushed with
a callous disregard of human
life.
Now, Dien Bein Phu has
fallen. It's defense, of 81 days
and nights, will go down in
history as one of the most
heroic of all time. The defend
ers, composed of French and
native forces, inflicted stag
gering losses on the enemy.
The French soldiers showed
they have not lost either the
will or the skill to fight even
under the most adverse condi-
tions. It shows that Vietnam
produces soldiers who have the
qualities to enable them to de-
fend their country.
An epic battle has ended. But
great causes have. before now,
been won out of lost battles.
The Chinese Communists
have been supplying the forces
of Vietminh rebels with mum.
tions.. trucks, antiaircraft guns,
radar and technical equipment
and technical advisers. They
have. however, stopped short Of
open intervention. In this re-
spect, they may have been de-
TERED by the warnings which
the United States has given
that such intervention would
lead to grave consequences
which might not be confined to
Indo-China.
Throughout this period the
United States has also followed
the second course of trying to
develop strength in Southeast
Asia through collective meas
ureS.
Back in 1851. I negotiated
treaties with the Philippines,
Australia and New Zealand.
These recognized that this
area was one of vital impor-
tance to the United States.
These treaties also recognized
that they were only initial
steps toward the development
of a more comprehensive sys-
tenn of collective security in
the area.
! This we have constantly
sought. However, it has proved
difficult to achieve this result.
There were differences Of race
and culture and differences in
the development of national
self-government. The countries
which had won or were win
ming their independence from
Western colonialism and Japa-
nese imperialism were often
more concerned with past
dangers from which they were
extricating themselves than
with the threat of new peril.
The memories Of the past
blinded them to the present
perils of Communist imperial
ism. They were not disposed to
make the sacrifices inherent
in any collective security sys-
tenn.

door-to-door sewing machine
repairs. For a few months he
worked at this.
One day a friend in Europe
asked him to fill an order for
$4,000 worth of sewing-ma-
chine needles. With the profit,
Leon rented a small store and
business began booming.
Always, he remembered a
famous sewing machine man
ufactured in Italy. He studied
American models-and decid-
ed that the Italian machines
might find a market here.
From the United Service
for New Americans, which
had helped him settle in New
York, he got a $1,000 loan
and presto, he was in the busi-
ness of selling Americans an
Italian sewing machine.
Word-of-mouth publicity did
a great deal of the rest. In
side of six weeks, thousands
of orders were on file. Leon
took in Ben Krisiloff and Mil.

good friends, as secretary
and treasurer, and presently
bought a 12-story building on
Manhattan's downtown west
side.

These days, the energetic,
enterprising Leon, just past
DO, probably is a millionaire.
One certain financial fact
about him is that he is preSi-
dent and founder of a firm
that last year crossed around
$25,0O0,00O in retail sales.
Leon, dark and bespecta-
cled, did all this in the un-
opportune land of America
but, most astonishing, he built
this respectable nest egg and
business prestige in seven
years. For it was on Feb. II,
1947, that he and Ann, his
wife, landed in the United
States. They had So to their
name.
Because his family had
been in the same business
for three generations, Jolson
made his success here in sew
ing machines. He gives the
impression, however, that he
could have made it in clothes
pins or Goldfish.
Back in 1889, Leon had
taken over his fathers buSi-
ness in Warsaw. Then the
Germans marched into Po-
land and he was forced to
limit his activities to the ghet-
to the Nazis set up. By 1912,
the occupation troops began
moving Jews to labor camps.
II knew I must escape or
die" Leon says.
He and Ann slipped out of

bunker just outside of War

stayed there.
Later the Jolsons fled from
the bunker to a farm, after
six months of which they got
on the move again-and for
Is months wandered through
Rumania, Czechoslovakia and
Hungary.

persons camp outside Munich

Democrats Hold Out
The Democrats vigorously sup
port this general position, although
for strategic purposes they are
concentrating their fight in behalf
of lifting personal exemptions from
the present 5000 to $70O. The Re-
publicans, led by President Eisen-
hover, are pushing for enactment

which would give special tax re-
auctions on income from stock div
idends and provide special tax re-
auctions for expanded corporate
enterprises.
Democratic leaders accused the
Administration of resurrecting the
"trickle down" theory of Andrew
Mellon by advocating relief for
the few and opposing help for the
many.
Speaking on a nationwide radio
and television hookup were Sam
Rayburn of Texas, House Demo
cratic leader; Rep. Jere Cooper of
Tennessee, senior minority member
of the tax-writing House Ways and
Means Committee, and Sen. Walter
George, ranking Democrat, and for
mer chairman of the Senate Fl
nance Committee.
The President, in turn, told his
press conference that the Demo
Gratis were wrong. He defended a
proposal to ease levies on stock
dividends by asserting that most
stockholders of U. S. Steel earn
less than the national average. He
did not specify how much of such
stock they own.
lnequltleS Noted
Rayburn noted that the proposed
relief for dividend income would
cost the treasury 1915 million {
year. He declared that only 8 pei
cent of American families own any
publicly-held stock. Of this, HI
added, six families out of 1000
own so percent.

ing special tax status for dividend

posal in recent years has come so
close to being class legislation. In
1863 only percent of all Ameri-
can families and only 4 percent of
families with incomes less than
$4,000 owned even a single share
of corporate stock. Treasury De-
partment figures show that indi-
viduals with income over $4,000
receive almost three-fourths of all
