TIE AMERICAN WAY
Appeasement Always Loses

AppEdsEnSHL Always L05GS
There are times when conpro-
mise is essential. There some
times are more than two sides
to question your side, my
side and the right side. And it
can happen that by honestly and
frankly comparing the two sides
we improve our chances of ar
irving at the right side. Intelli-
gent people seek truth rather
than corroboration
But that is very different
from appeasement. For, in ar
irving at the compromise which
spells truth, two people volun-
tarily and honestly open their
minds TO whatever facts are
available and the consequent
conclusions which may follow.
They seek a common goal -
the truth.
In appeasement there is no
mutual and frank search for the
utter truth. Two people, fixed
in their views, compare consequ-
ences of their beliefs rather than
the correctness of the beliefs or
purposes. They compare relative
determination and strength to
support their views, and then
one of them yields in part or in
whole rather than take the con-
sequences Of different choice.
That is appeasement.
AppeaSement is game in
which capacity and willingness
to bluff can pay big dividends.
It paid Hitler rich returns be
fore World War II, and even en-
couraged him to precipitate that
war to further carry out his pur-
| poses. 1t paid off for Russia in
Korea and led to the present un-
happy situation in Indo-China
1t has cost the lives of thousands
upon thousands of American
boys and billions of dollars in
treasure, with a subsequent load
of taxes and other bad economic
results that could even yet leao
to our destruction.
There are times when postpon
ing decisions may be necessary
and wise, but such appeasement
as we have witnessed in the two
past decades seldom pays the
| appeaser. England and France
refused to stand by the United
States in enforcing treaty
against Jayan's grab of Man
churia. Mussolini, seeing Japar
get away with it, thumbed hi;
nose at the League of Nations
| and, on the verge of disaster

velop into a national scandal" :"
The Federal Civil Defense Ad-
ministration has warned for
some time that while the pos
sibiHty Of a surprise attack is
diminishing, il will never dis

sumptions about a hypothetical
onslaught for the June | drill,
FCDA said every target area
was substantially destroyed"

FCDA operates on the prin-
ciple that an ounce of prepara-
ton is worth pound of security.
Established in 1850, FCDA bases
its plans on assumptions that the
u. S. does not have a monopoly
of nuclear weapons, that Rus
sia is NOW capable of striking
any target within the United
| States, probably with "nuclear
weapons delivered by air." and
that a city so attacked would
| suffer damages and casualties
far beyond resources, thereby
| needing outside aid

are listed as critical target

his feelings of bitterness and
suspicion toward Mr.. Mendes-

since the rejection Of Edo the

on the French premier as un-

otherwise. Despite formal ex-
pressions Of approval. Mr.,

Significantly. perhaps the

Among other personalities
here Mr.. Mendes-France seems
to have improved his relation
ship most notably with German
Chancellor Adenauer. It's possi-
BILE. however. that the improve

than real. Although private con-
versations between the two have
invariably been described by Of
fetal spokesmen as Cordial" no
details what ever have been re-
vealed. At the conference itself
the Chancellor has played al
most no part, contenting him
self to listening quietly to dis
cussions and nodding his head
at appropriate moments.
Similar thawing out has been
noted in Mr.. Spaak and Premier
Bech of Luxembourg. Although
In the final stages Of the con-

has put up stiff opposition to

about his French colleague. Brit

Canadian Foreign Minister
Pearson have emerged during
the conference as determined
mediators both on personal and
political planes. The Canadians
seem particularly sympathetic
to the French position In con-
trast with the attitude Of the
United States delegation.
The only genuine neutral
here is the new Italian Foreign
Minister, Prof. MARITIME, who is
attending his first ministerial

political activities, it turns out
that Prof. MARITIME is an eminent
