TROPICAL FISH A
TREMENDOUS HOBBY

The care and breeding of
tropical fish is enjoyed by
over ten-million American
people, besides those in fore
ign countries.
1t is not only interesting

but is a source of great edu-
cation, besides being a beau

Tropical Fish is now Ameri-

finds new recruits everytime
one is shown an aquarium
properly set up. This hobby
is not restricted to any age
group but is enjoyed by both
young and old alike. To the
young it is a challenge to
breed the various species, to
the older group source of

A ReopproisoI Of Our Position
Our Allies Continue to Default Their Obligations but We

Congress does not share the
popular interest in the Great
Futility." as the Stevens-Mc-
Carthy dispute is now being
frequently described. The leg
islators' gravest concern these
days is the rapidly deteriorat-
ing international situation.
The confusion which ap-
pears to many observers to
exist in Washington over our
stand in Asia is more super
fetal than actual. There is
no rift. according to Republi-
can and Democratic leaders
in the Senate. between the
executive and the legislative
branches of the Government
as far as our basic policies Of
stopping the Reds in that area
are concerned. There is also
agreement between the two
branches that a reappraisal Of
our overall policies has be-
come necessary in the light
Of the present attitude Of the
British and French govern
mentS.
The fact that President Eli
senhower has made it clear
that he will not send troops
to fight in Asia without the
approval of Congress should
not be interpreted to mean
that our policy has become
passive. TheAe seems to be
no inclination to repeat
Korea"-that is to say, to
rush in American troops un-
der an international flag and
let the military strategy be
dictated by the political and
economic interests of our
allies. But the consensus Of
most congressional leaders is
that should the free Asiatic
nations appeal to us for help
to resist the Red encroach-
ments, it would not be denied
them by this Government.
The Korean campaign proved
a failure because we were tied
politically to nations which had
either already recognized the
Red regime in China or were
more interested in not "aggra-
waiting" the MuscoviteS than
in obtaining a decision on the
battlefieldS,
Evening star., 1954-05-06

A military strategy confined
merely to "killing Chinese" and
a diplomatic strategy of pun
ishing aggression" resulted in
a skinny armistice. This gave
the enemy good opportunity to
open up another active military
front in Indo- China pregnant
with political repercussions. It
is no idle talk to say that the
resumption of the large-scale
military offensive in Indo-
China, the present epic fight
at Dien Bien Phu, and the
Geneva tragedy are the di-
rect sequel of an ill-conceived
armistice in Korea.
Those who examine interna-
tional relations realistically
cannot complain that the Brit
ish and the French intend to
make their own arrangements
with the Communists and
leave us in the lurch. Alliances
are "alive" only as long as the
interests Of the parties COIN
eide. The American and the
British interests in Asia do not.
To us the area from Korea and
Japan to Malaga and the Phil
ippines has a vital strategic
value to our own security. To
our allies Asia has become
strategically unimportant, but
trade with the 800 million
people has become in their eyes
a paramount necessity.

French and British govern

GENEVA. - Teamwork be-
tween our allieS-always difil-
cult to achieve but absolutely
essential if we are to check
mate Communist tactics-is
slowly emerging here despite
earlier diScouragementS.
Nobody who has not been
on the ground at one Of these
very complex affairs can pos
sibly imagine the plight Of the
delegation representing the
United States of America at
the Geneva Conference.
This correspondent has just
read a summary of headlines
and dispatches in several
American newspapers for the
last few days, as cabled to Of
f1cials here, and could not but
wonder how it feels to be an
American delegate with a carp
ing. fault-f1nding set Of in
terpretationS in many Of the
articles being printed back
home which, when reproduced
in Europe, tend to discredit
the American delegation and
weaken its hand here.
The facts are simple to state.
The American delegation had a
broad plan. It was torpedoed
in London by the British cab
met before it was launched.
Out Of Difference to our allies
and with characteristic poise,
Secretary Dulles kept silent.
Some one with a more sensi-
tive nature would have blown
his top at the outright reversal
by the British cabinet on a
pledge that had been given.
But the British have their
troubles, too, and their rea-
sons for moving cautiously.
When, however, they saw the
criticism of their tactics
mounting in official Washing
ton, they took steps to repair
the breach. The trend now
is toward unity, but it is
difficult course to maintain be-
cause the British have inter-
ests far different from ours
and they are apparently not
as ready to accept the respon-
Sibilities of collective action in
Asia as many Americans had
been led to believe.
Unfortunately, also, internal
politics in every country, in
cluding our own, plays a dam
aging role and makes nego-
tiating a precarious task. If
it isn't a threatened overthrow

reconsideration and some Of
the original plans have been
given sympathetic support
once more.
One thing needs to be made
clear: The United States was
given a pledge at Berlin that
France would not consent to
any plan that meant surrender
to the Communists in Indo-
China. America wants a peace
full settlement there but not
by a phony partition" plan
or by the coalition govern
ment" trick that wrecked
Poland and Czechoslovakia.
So far as Korea is concerned,
there also have been some
misleading impressions given.
The Red Chinese leader called
for a general election" in
Korea without supervision by
the U. N. Some of the allies
looked with favor on the idea
in principle. But there is a
lot more to the problem.
Thus, how can there be any
free election in North Korea
if Communist troops are there?
How can there be any cam
.paigning throughout the north
ern part of the country before
the voting takes place If
coercion prevails? And what
happens to the government at
Seoul which has been formally
recognized by the United Ma
tions and is operating under a
constitution adopted by the
people in a free election super
vised by the U. NJ? Is a con-
stitutional government wiped
out just because the aggreSsorS
want that done? South Korea
will have its regular election
for its National Assembly on
May 20. Must it have another
election later on, and does
anybody think the central
government at Seoul can main
tain the morale of it's army
the most powerful in Asia
outside of the Communist
orbit-if the constituted gov
ernment is to be decapitated
by order of the Communist
delegations at Geneva?
These are not easy questions
to determine and require a lot
of delicate handling if the
unif1cation of Korea is to be
accomplished.
