Red China Plays Top Role

There has been much speculation In re-
cent years as to the exact relationship be-
tween Communist Russia and Communist
China, revolving primarily around the ques-
ton Of whether the Peiping government is
puppet or a potentially troublesome part
ner Of the regime in Moscow. The answer
Is not yet clear but events Of the past few
weeks have demonstrated the considerable
prestige and influence of Red China and the
sinister skill Of its Premier-F Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai.
Greeted ostentatiously at the Geneva
Airport by RuSsia's Foreign Minister Molo-
tov, the Chinese official was dominant 1g-
ure throughout the EaSt-West conferences
and his return to Peiping by way of South
Asia has turned almost into a triumphal
procession. His most significant maneuver-
ings have been those undertaken without
the presence of any Russian associate. With
Britain'S Foreign Minister Eden, agreement
was reached for broader exchange of dip
lomatic relations between Peiping and Lon
don. With Frances Premier Mendes-France,
negotiations were launched for cease-fire
In Indo- China-under the circumstances
sure to be victory for the Communicated
Wet Mimi Then, in special airplane sent
from New Delhi to pick him up, Chou En-
lai flew to the Indian capital for highly
publicized meetings with Prime Minister
Nehru. On this stage, the Chinese Red
spokesman recited his peaceful co-exist-
ence" Communist style) and asia for
Asians" themes, with echoing Endorsements
from Mr.. Nehru.
OF all these activities Chou's visit to
New Delhi and the statements made by him
and by Mr.. Nehru may have the greatest
impact on the course of events in Asia.
Peaceful co-existence and Asia for Asians
are principles" that At neatly into the In
dian pattern of "neutralism often
seeming to be directed against the West.
They are, also, principles" that would seem
to preclude their believers from joining in
any type of alliance-Locarno-style or de-
fensive-with non-Asiatic power. Quite
likely this is what Mr.. Chou has in mind
for all except Red China itself. But the
formulation Of an entente between India
and Communist China-perhaps with other
currently non-Communist Asiatic nations
adhering to it-would confer new and ire
mendous power upon the Red government
of Peiping. The prospect gives greater
urgency to the need for the Western nations
and their friends in the South Asian-Paciflc
area to establish unity Of purpose and
action.

ciqur Smoker Tokes Stock

The present public interest," was
going to say concern, but I'm not con-
WINGED that there is any real public
concern-in the connection, real or
imagined, between smoking and the
death rate from coronary thrombosis
and cancer of the lungs is driving the
prices of our leading tobacco stocks
down to a point where they will soon
be almost irresistible buys. In the
idiom. they are becoming increasingly
interesting" as speculations on the flu
ture smoking habits Of the American
people.
Personally I believe that the findings
Of the Cancer Society's research will
not in the long run influence the coun-
try's smoking habits in the slightest
regardless of how frightening those
findings may ultimately prove to be.
The death rates from the various forms
of disaster involving automobiles is
climbing almost faster than the birth
rate, but people are still buying and
driving automobiles. And they will
continue to buy and smoke tobacco.
But I am curious about something
In the society's report. an apparent
connection was found to exist between
the type Of smoking and the death
rate Cigarette smokers headed the
list cigar smokers were next and pipe
smoking held down the cellar. Some
one once described cigarette smokers
as nervous smokers. cigar smokers as
being more vigorous than nervous Il
feel better already, and pipe smokers
as being Of q contemplative nature.
Sort Of the spectator sport of the
smoking world. But, why do people
smoke?
If some connection between emotional
disturbances and these diseases were

found, it would be proper to suggest
larger contributions to the Mental
Health Fund rather than the American
Cancer Society or the Heart Founda-
ton. However. this in turn also poses
an even more gloomy picture for the
tobacco industry. For if this pleasant
habit is symptomatic of emotional dis
tress, and hence anlenable to psychiat-
ric treatment, carried to its ultimate
conclusion we have the picture of uni
versal emotional adjustment making
such nervous habits as smoking SUI
perfluous. Maybe speculation in to-
bacco stocks Is, like certain pipe to-
bacco, not so hot after all.

Oppenheimer's Case
Evans Thornton.

The left-wing propaganda guns as
may be expected. have started to boom
in connection with the alleged loyalty
and Patrick Henry-like qualities of DR.,
Oppenheimer. The line is that this
man, genius in every manner con-
ceivable, was merely naive" when he
ran around with group of Reds, pinks,
fellow travellers and Russian espionage
agents, and that he meant no harm
to any one-he loved everybody.
These left-wing groups who were
merely naive in the thirties and forties.
and who. while in power under Roose-
welt and Truman (and still In office
after almost two years Of the present
administrator instead Of making the
world safe for democracy, succeeded
only in making it safe for Russia, now
have the audacity to undertake to
advise the American people as to who
is and is not security risk. Their
advice invariably is in the latter cate
CORY except when it relates to Senator
Mccarthy who has now become the
prime security risk.
Relative to the merits of the Open
heimer case, one can well imagine that
in the wholesome and delightful at
mosphere of the Oppenheimer menage,
our state secrets were air-tight. and
100 per cent proof against espionage.
One can but conclude that the only
reason for the finding Of loyalty by
the Eisenhower board was Cd in order
not to shock further the sensibilities
of the American people and to subject
them to another Shattering blow at a
time when they have not yet recovered
from the Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter
White exposes, and 90 in order not
to lend credence and confederation
to Senator McCarthy's campaign to
awaken the Nation. So far as the
administration now the pawn Of left
wing elements, Is concerned, Mccarthy
must be destroyed at any cost, regard
less Of the damage to the Republic
and the vital need for forewarning the
American people.

least have answered Mr.. Miller's
question-he asked for one.
FL. w.
I happen to have one Of the original
copies of the report Of the Subcommit-
tee on Privileges and Elections investi-
eating Senator McCarthy's incredible
immunity to rule Of law. II Senator
Mccarthy had one iota Of the docu-
mented, certified evidence against any
person he has accused any time or any
place, that properly authorized Sem
ate committee has in the public record
against him, that person would be in
Jail. Therefore ask Mr.. Miller one
question: If certified. documented proof
OF questionable conduct is not valid
admissible .eyidence against Senator
Mccarthy. why should smear, ambigu-
ity. post hoe. non sequitur accusations
be admissible proof against Senator
McCarthy's victims?

Suspense Enough

There Is no need to turn to the tele

There is more than enough Of it around

the soap opera, there is no final chapter.

ANUS Call for Action

Inc statement which has just been Is
sued by the ANUS powers-Australia, New
Zealand and the United States draws at
tention to what probably is the real area of
difference between the British and our
selves concerning the defense Of Southeast
Asia.
After the meeting here with Mr..
Churchill and Mr.. Eden, emphasis was put
on peaceful co-exiStence." And Washing
ton as well as London undoubtedly wants
to live In peace with the Communist world
If 1t is possible to do so. In keeping with
this desire, the Churchill Eisenhower COM
muniQue merely promised to press forward
with plans for collective defense" to deal
with the situations which may arise from an
agreement In Indo-C China or failure to reach
an agreement
The statement Of the ANUS powers,
however, calls for immediate action. Pur-
suant to meeting Of the ANUS Council,
this was said on behalf Of the three gov
ernments: Gall three representatives agreed
on the need for immediate action to bring
about the early establishment of collective
defense in Southeast Asian area in
which the three participating countries are
all vitality concerned"
Is the United States guilty of inconsist-
ency in agreeing with Britain on Monday
to press forward with plans for collective
defense, and in joining Australia and New
Zealand on Thursday in call for innedt-
ate action toward the same end? The an
swer probably is that the inconsistency is
more apparent than real. Why can we not
plan with the British and also take action
with Australia and New Zealand?
It seems clear that the British have
greater confidence than we In the prospect
Of coming to terms with the Reds, espe-
cially with Red China. They will not easily
be persuaded to join in any action which
they think may tend to harden Chinese
hostility. AS the ANUS statement expresses
1t, however, the United States, Australia
and New Zealand are vitality concerned with
the threat in Southeast Asia-more vitality
concerned, one must suppose, than is Lon
don. For the three nations, and especially
New Zealand and Australia, are under the
gun Of this Communist advance. They felt
directly the impact Of the Japanese sweep
through Southeast Asia, and they can
hardly be expected to look complacently
upon the advance of what may turn out
to be another militant aggressor.
So these nations want to act, and act
now, to do what can be done to set up a
defense. They are not willing to wait, as
seems to be the case with the British, until
it may be too late. The difference, however,
is essentially one of timing. London is will
ing to gamble on delay. We prefer to gamble
on defensive action now-believing that
action which is clearly defensive in char
acter not only would fall short of threaten
ing peaceful co-existence, but might even
facilitate peaceful co-existence. Our the
DRY is that If the goal of peaceful existence
with the Communists can be attained at
all, it is more apt to be attained If they are
discouraged rather than encouraged to ex-
pand at the expense Of other nations.
