string out the Geneva talks indefinitely
while the Communists walk away with
the military decision. Even in France
the show Of Communist intransigence
at the conference table has had its
effect and voices Of surrender are less

Whether or not the Geneva Confer
ence produces settlement of the Indo-

at this moment that some kind of
mutual security system will be set up

would amount to drawing a line which
Communists could not cross without
inviting war with the combined strength
of the free world.
A serious question which still remains
to be answered is where to draw this
line. Specifically, what parts Of Indo-
China now under Communist attack
should be included? On this point,
moral factors are at least as important
as military ones and lie at the bottom
OF the controversy between the allies.
So far no way has been found to by

ment from the Fine Arts Commission next
month DR.. Caemmerer will continue to live in
this area and fight for the building of better,
more beautiful Capital. As secretary of the
commission he has been in the forefront of that
fight for many years.
A resident of Greater Washington by choice,
DR.. Caemmerer'S knowledge of this city's
history Is as profound as that of any
native-more so than most citizens who were
born in the District. Since 1919, when he first
went with the Fine Arts Commission in cleri-
cal capacity, he has made it his business to
know Washington, with special reference to its
esthetic values. 1t has been labor of love- AS
administrative officer of the commission he has
played an outstanding role in defending the
city against threats to its character as a proud
and sedate center of government Some of these
threats he and his able colleagues were able to
defeat. Others, like the unsightly temporary
Federal office buildings on the Mall he resisted
boldly but unsuccessfully But, fortunately, he
has never given up the fight against such in
congruities in the design for the city. He made
that clear in acknowledging a well-deserved
tribute paid to him by the Washington Board
Of Trade. DR.. Caemmerer's pledge Of future aid
In promoting the improvement of his favorite
city is reassuring to those who have regretted

way we can keep them from winning
converts. It is dangerous because it is
defensive thinking, the thinking of ap-
peasement.
There is nothing that the Communists

avoid Communist criticism. They would

1t Sm0cks of Whitewnsh

Senator Symington had substantial basis
for his charge that the Republicans were guilty
of whitewash in their decision to drop Francis
p. Carr and Assistant Defense Secretary H.
Struve Hensel as principals and witnesses in
the Army-McCarthy case.
It is true that the Army has not presented
much evidence in support of its accusations
against Mr.. Carr. The fact remains, however
that MIR. Carr was the author of at least seven
of the So-called memoranda from the files"
with which Senator Mccarthy has sought to
bolster his countercharges. One of these memos
detailed the serious accusation that Secretary
Stevens urged the Mccarthy committee to
leave the Army alone and go after the Air
Force and Navy, with Army Counselor Adams
offering to furnish the "dirt." For the Repubn-
cans to undertake to exclude Mr.. Carr from
examination and cross-examination is not only
astonishing. It is also stupid.
Much the same thing applies, in reverse,
to Mr.. Hensel Senator Mccarthy accused him
Of "masterminding" the Armys accusations,
and of being actuated by discreditable motives
in doing so. Not asshred of proof has been
offered to support this, and, in fact Senator
Mccarthy has tried to back away from the
accusation. Why should Mr.. Hensel be dropped
from the case? Why should not Senator Nc
Carthy be compelled to take the stand and
either support his charge or be obliged to admit
that it was another reckless accusation based
on nothing?

Without having reference to any
specific decision of any Federal court
but being conscious at times of the en-
croachment of the Federal Government,
am reminded of letter Thomas
Jefferson wrote to Spencer Roane from
Monticello on March 8, 1921.
am passing this extraction from Mr..
JefferSon'S letter along to your readers
without further comment:
"The multiplication of public Offices,
increase of expense beyond income,
growth and entailment of public debt,
are indications soliciting the employ
ment of the pruning knife. The
great object of my fear is the Federal
judiciary. That body, like gravity. ever
acting with noiseless foot and unalarm-
ing advance, gaining ground step by
step and holding what it gains, is en-
quilting insidiously the special govern
ments into the jaws Of that which feeds
them"

and I admire the courage Of your edi-
tors. We must never relax our vigilance
lest our liberties and freedom be
frittered away!

GENEVA. Something like united
Western policy is emerging from the
confusions and Illustrations of the Ge-
neva Conference. And almost in spite
of itself, that most elusive thing~-the
moral basis" for Western policy-is
emerging along with it,.
In simple language, moral foreign
policy is one which most of the people
In good conscience can support. There
have been differences of approach to
such policy within the Western coali-
ton. They have led to pessimistic re-
ports Of deep divisions among the allies
when in fact our basic objectives were
identical.
To Anthony Eden, emphasis has been
on exploring alternatives to the use Of
force to prevent the spread of commu-
niSm in Southeast Asia. AS he has seen
it, every possibility of peaceful negotia-
ton must be exhausted at Geneva be-
fore definite military commitments are
made. His attitude at this point reflects
the attitude Of most Of the British peo-
pie and to an even greater extent that
OF such important parts Of the COM
monwealth as India. It is a primary
moral condition for any policy which
the allies may develop for Southeast
Asia.
For Secretary Dulles it has appeared
that the basis for morality in foreign
policy was largely a matter Of COM
pany. He has insisted on joint action
rather than action by the United
States alone. He has added another
important proviso: The people of
Southeast Asia must be willing to
fight in their own defense and they
must be given the independence they
seek from colonial rule.
Even the French-who have been
up to their necks in fighting for seven
years-are still cropping for moral
basis for their struggle. This basis
has changed considerably in the course
of time. The French have progressed
beyond the concept of war in. Indo-
China being merely duty to be under
taken by colonial power whose pos
sessions are threatened. But they have
been dragged bit by bit into another
kind of war-a big war-without ever
having made up their minds exactly
what it was they were fighting for.
1t goes without saying that lack Of
this basic decision is proving terrible
nuisance to leaders in Paris today.
Recently there have been small but
hopeful signs that these different ap-
proacheS to the same problem are being
bridged The United States, having at
least for the moment muzzled some of
its unofficial foreign-policy spokesmen,
seems to have reconciled itself to the
idea of delaying action until the British

At Odds With Miss FIeeson

On April 18, The Star carried an
announcement that Doris FleeSon had
won the Raymond Clapper award for
exceptionally meritorious work during
1882. I didn't read much of Fleeson
during 1858. What I did read previous
to that time left me with the distinct,
feeling she was not too clever at pour
ing out certain brand Of political
poison and was not even worth keeping
an eye on. "
However started looking over her
column again to try to see what she
might have that was worthy OF
distinguished award. I failed to find
anything substantial to help readers
bring political issues into focus.
A tremendous cross section of the
public has had first hand look at
the current hearings. Regardless of
whether they are Democrats, Republi-
cans, anti-McCarthy, or what,sI chal-
lenge any Of them to take an objective
look at any of her stuff on this issue.
Getting down to cases, take her column
of May II. There is lot Of innuendo,
half truth and misinformation which
attempts to. create a biased view and
please those who have adopted a biased
view. She says for one thing that people
are confused by the picture unfolding
in Washington" haven't found this
to be the case on either side Of the
issue. The whole affair is becoming
quite clear unless one follows only Flee
son toward that end (confusion). For
example (confusion) she points to Nc
Carthy's taking the oath and then re-
flISing to reveal his irfOrmantS She
likens this to a fifth amendment"
dodge. She fails to point out that
Counsel Jenkins expressed an opinion
and the chair allowed, in effect, that
an authorized criminal investigator
does not have to reveal his informants.
If cross section of American news
papers considers her column worthy of
high award it is a bit shocking to say
the least.
