Questionable Gesture on Koshmir

1t seems unlikely that the Constituent
Assembly in Kashmir has rendered any service
toward settling bitterly controversial problem
by ratifyi1g the states accession to India.
The question whether Kashmir should be
part of India or of Pakstan, or possibly indie
pendent, has been in dispute since creation of
the two new countries in 1947. Open fighting
over the matter ended January l. 1949, on the
basis of a ceaSe-flre agreement negotiated by
United Nations Commission. In early 1851
the Security Council adopted an Anglo-Ameri-
can resolution providing for the holding of
plebiScite, under U.N supervision, in which
the population could register its choice. AL
though the two countries never have been able
to agree on details for holding such referen-
dunn, their Prime Ministers after several meet
ings last summer reaffirmed their support for
a plebiscte and agreed that neutral admin
iStrator should be named by April &c. 1854
Although the Kashmiri population is pre-
dominantly MoSlem, as is PakiStan the govern
ment of the state and the present Constituent
Assembly, which is not elected by popular vote,
have been pro-Indan The Assembly vote of
ratification, therefore, is not surprising
development, but neither is it one that neces-
sarily reflects the wishes of the people
plebiScite, conducted under neutral supervision,
still seems the only way to reach fair deter
action, especially If it came about through
coercion from New Delhi, should now be used
to block a free referendum.

This column wishes to thank Mrs.
o. H. P. C. of Seventeenth street and
many others whose kind letters for a
variety of reasons cannot be used.
They are all interesting, just the
same, and are highly appreciated.
A good letter is always that way.
Women undoubtedly make the best
letter writer's This is because they are
not in the least afraid of the incon-
sequential.
Men, as penners Of informal missives.
often shy off from the strictly in
formal in topics. They want to discuss
politics, international affairs. the latest
in business, medicine, etc.
Such matters are, at least can be,
human and interesting, too, but many
fail to make them so.
On the other hand, as the moving
finger writes, the little things of the
everyday are always interesting If the
writer thinks them so.
Women shine as letter writer's, then
because nothing is too small for them
to consider, if it interests them.
What jamie said and did, what Aunt
Mary did when the bee stung her, and
especially what Auntie said
These and scores of matters familiar
to all of us make the informal docu-
ments of some of the great women

and says it, and that is, after all, what
makes good letter.
Good letters have special fascina-

There is one small book of letters
exchanged between James and Steven

Siast strikes at least one reader as both
dated and written with one eye or
maybe two eyes on posterity.
This gets us back to another good
point of the good letter. It must be

the reader alone.

manner it necessarily loses something,

By Charles E. TroceweN

If severe language is used. even 1t
may be so handled that it does not
offend, and really good letter writer's
always observe this rule.
Today, with the curt business mes
sage, we have lesSening in courtesy
in letters. The sad thing is that the
writer of such a missive mostly has no
idea whatever of offending, which per-
haps makes it all the worse. He slaps
you in the face casually.
Good letter writing is just good man
nerS in print.
The very plain piece of paper before
one enforces some prior consideration.
What shall put on this piece of
paper? In SO thinking, look forward
to those who read. Such is the I'M
spoken thought of all who write letters.
Even hasty, angry people, once they
have put themselves down on paper,
often "sleep on it," as the phrase has
it-and tear the whole thing up in the
morning.
The good letter need not be preten-
tiouS, in fact seldom is but it must be
considerate, we'll put and as short as
feasible. This leaves wide latitude
for even the person inclined to be
verbose. Letter writing today is in
eclipse. or at least some persons think
so, but perhaps they should not be pes
simiStic, as long as the women folks
keep on writing, for they are the ones
who are the real letter writer's.

The Democrats Hit Back

Democrats can be just as diligent as Re-
publicans when it comes to the matter of
digging in the political vineyards. And as Mr..
Truman so often demonstrated they are hardly
more immune to the virus of purely partisan
attack. Still, it would seem that President
Eisenhower might well pay more than routine
attention to some of the blasts against his
administration which have come recently from
the Democratic side of Capitol Hill.
One of the critics was Minority Leader Sam
Rayburn, who has protested that Democratic
backs "are getting pretty sore" Speaking for
himself and his fellow Democrats in Congress,
he said that I'VE are being called upon to
cooperate, yet we have people high in the
administration and people high in the Repub-
lican Party indicating that everybody connected
with the Democratic Party is at least tinged
with communism. :. Of course, those state
ments are mean, they are untrue, they are
dastardly. They should be stopped by some
body, and there is one man in the United States
who can stop that kind of talk"
This counterattack was continued and
broadened by Senator Symington of Missouri
He dealt with the SO-called security risk"
diSmiSSalS, and he cited chapter and verse to
show that this matter has been repeatedly dis
torted, obviously in quest of partisan advantage,
by at least five highly ranked Republicans Of
whom three are in the Presidents official
family and subject to control by him.
Then he went on to point out that General
Eisenhower knows he must depend upon Demo-
cratic support for the success of his program
and to urge that the President state publicly
whether or not he Endorses the kind of attack
which says or implies that the Democrats per-
mitted large number of subversives to remain
in office after January, 1858.
In all of this, there was not exactly
threat. But there certainly was broad hint
a hint to the President that it would be ad-
visable to do something about this security-risk
business. The best thing that could be done
would be to break down the f1gures-to reveal
how many were fired for reasons bearing on
their loyalty to this country and how many of
the separations belong in some other category
1t may be diff1cult-and it may even be en-
barraSsing-for the administration to do this
But unless it is done, and especially if the
Republicans keep trying to misrepresent the
facts, this matter of the security-risk frings is
going to become something of a Frankenstein
monster for the Eisenhower administration.

Good Work for the Free World

The Institute of International Education
headed by Kenneth Holland, has completed
another year of valuable service to the country
in a field that bears directly and Importantly
on what has come to be known as the war for
mems minds-a war that continues without
let-up between the free world and the world
of the SovietS
Thus, as indicated in its 34th annual report,
the American-directedI lie is now doing more
than it has ever done since its founding in 1919
Ito enable our people to secure better under
standing of foreign nations, and to enable
foreign nations to obtain accurate knowledge
of the United States, its people, institutions and
culture" To that end, working in cooperation
with governmental agencies and a number of
private foundations, it has played an indis-
penSable advisory and administrative role in
connection with scholarships, fellowships and
other arrangements affecting almost 1000 per-
sons who came to this country-from 81 diff
ferent lands-for study and training last year.
This is the role that the lie has been
playing, on an ever-expanding scale, for the
past "a years. All told, according to its latest
report, an estimated total of $4,000 foreign
students and 10000 specialists and technicians
now arrive annually in the United States to
take up various types of studies At the same
time some 10000 Americans go abroad for the
same purpose. Inc lnStlCuCeS work has to do
primarily with the selection placement, financ-
ing and general social comfort of those indi-
viduals who qualify for the exchange program
and who apply for such things as scholarships,
without which they would not be able to seek
education overseas.
The mutual benefits derived from this
educational exchange cannot be measured in
any precise way, of course but there is no
doubt that they are real and important
especially in period when the Soviet Union
and Red China are prevailing upon thousands
of South Asians and others to come to them for
special schooling. Mr.. Holland and the lie
are doing good work in competition. The
more that they can do along the same line, the
better it will be for the free world.
