The Reds are reported to
have ready-made solutions to
the do-China and Korea
problems for submission to the
conference. The proposals
may prove appealing to our
French and British allies but
are unlikely to be to the lik-

Before leaving for Paris and
Geneva, Secretary Dulles is
said to have told a Senate
friend that the forthcoming
talks at Geneva will be the
most difficult task he has ever
undertaken. Mr.. Dulles ex-

the situation is certainly as
grave, if not currently as spec

En-lai will propose for Korea
the creation of a new, coali-

South Koreans, with free elec- =

the supervision of the United
Nations.
Such a proposal might be

Hidden 7 Tactics Of Communists
Congressional Probes Called Only Way Handle Problem;
Due Process of Low Guorontee Held Misinterpreted

Had the statements of Whit.
taker Chambers, an ex-Con1-
munist, accusing Alger Hiss,
been made outside a committee
hearing, no newspaper or pc
riodical could have printed the
testimony without subjecting
itself to a costly libel suit.
There is no immunity for the
press from libel for printing
the facts about individuals,
even though proof of those
facts is available. 1t can mean
costly litigation to prove the
truth of the alleged libel.
But anything which a con-
gressional committee reveals in
its hearings can be printed and
is immune from libel. This
testimony is called "privi-
legged" If the investigative
and publicity power of con-
gressional committees were
abolished or weakened, corrup-
tion could thrive and many
Government scandals could
never be uncovered.
1t was the persistent ques-
tioning by the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities
which exposed Alger Hiss and
subjected him to a perjury
charge, on which he was later
put in Jail. The Department OF
Justice couldn't prosecute him
on any other charge because
the limitation period had al
ready passed within which a
case in prosecution could be
brought under any laws he
may have violated.
Legal technicalitieS also ap-
piled in the Harry Dexter
White case. He couldn't be
indicted by a grand jury be-
cause much of the evidence
gathered by the FBI against
him, such as wire-tap mate
rial, was not technically ad-

The land damage is fully
as bad as 90 years ago, it now
has been determined. The
story behind it is about the
same that President Roosevelt
told us 20 years ago. High
prices for wheat in the Sec
ond World War encouraged
expanded cultivation and pro-
duction. About 4 million acres
of land formerly in grass were
ploughed up for quick profits.
OF this, about 3 million acres
were not suited to cultivation
because of insufficient mois-
ture, though the abnormally
good weather during the war
was deceptive. Some of the
