meeting today to press for early
inclusion of West Germany in
the NATO.
Official sources said Mr..
Dulles looks favorably on the
British proposals for DISPOSE
ton of the German question,
but has avoided committing the
United States until he has thor
oughly studied the situation with
Mr.. Eden.
Much Work Remains.
On his return last night, Mr..
Eden told reporters he had
reached a wide measure of
agreement" in his talks with the
leaders of France. Belgium, Hol-
land, Luxembourg. Italy and
West Germany.
But he cautioned that the
practical aspects of the enter
prise are far fromesimple. !. A
good deal of work remains to be
done before a solution can be
presented to the world"
The main hurdle Mr.. Eden
faces is to try to reconcile French
anxiety for controls over Ger
man rearmament with United
States-backed German demands
for full sovereignty.
The British plan for rearming
Germany was drawn up after the
French National Assembly killed
off the EDO treaty to set up a
six-nation unified European
army. 1t hinges on two main
points:
l. Bringing the Germans and
Italians-both wartime enc
mies-into a streamlined version
of the 1948 Brussels alliance of
Britain, France. Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Each ally would be pledged to
aid another under attack. and
the new grouping would form a
basis for promoting the political
unity of Western Europe.
2. Giving the Germans full
membership in the NATO, SUBJ
ject to certain safeguards de-
signed to block runaway German
rearmament. These safeguards
would aim at stopping the Ger
mans from making atomic and
hydrogen bombs and other
weapons of mass destruction
They also would limit the size
of German forces and generally
ward off any chance of new
German aggression.
Conference in London.
Mr.. Eden said that details of
the proposed alliance would be

Announce New Way To

Science Finds Healing Substance That Does Both
Relieves Pain-Shrinks Hemorrhoids

New York, N. Y. Especially -
For the first time science has
found a new healing substance
with the astonishing ability to
shrink hemorrhoids and to relieve
pain-without surgery.
In one hemorrhoid case after
another, "very striking improve
ment' was reported and verified
by doctors observations.
Pain was relieved promptly.
And, while gently relieving pain,
actual reduction or retraction
(shrinking) took place.
And most amazing of all this
Improvement was maintained in
cases where doctors observations
were continued over a period of
many months!
In fact, results were SO thor

Victims Of Propaganda.
Somehow we have become VIC
Tins of our own propaganda. For
years we regarded the Com
munists as dangerous and un-
friendly. Then one day they let
some poor old Nazi general out
Of jail in time to let him die
at home and although there are
numberless German prisoners
still behind bars the whole of
West Germany is swept by a
feeling they are not such bad
fellows after all:
For years the Chinese denied
they had thousands Of Japa-
nese war prisoners still in con-
centration camps and then the
chairman of the Chinese Red
Cross goes to Tokyo and is greet
ed by wildly cheering crowds
because Peiping has declared
without a single blush that these
non-existent prisoners are going
to be repatriated.

ing my teeth because ! had to
listen without protest to repu-
table Indian journalists describe
to their Chinese hosts the hor-
rors of life in any British port
overseas. Malta was a hotbed of
sin and corruption. Gibraltar
was a place where you dare not
walk abroad at night. Hong
Kong was a place where you
risked being robbed at every
step.
Useless to Advise.
"But here" concluded the
diplomatic correspondent of an
Indian daily, Il can leave any,
thing lying around and it is al
ways safe"
Useless to remind him of his
own Calcutta where infants are
deliberately crippled by leaders
OF professional beggars' rings so
that wailing mothers" can prey
on the feelings of visiting for
eigners. Useless to advise him to
check on the penalties which
would result if a Chinese citizen
today walked off with even a
discarded razor blade.
We all want peace in the world
and yet the Communists have
suddenly patented the word
peace" and the rest of us at
once plunge into orgies of self
condemnation because all these
years we have been holding up a
sword prepared to defend our
selves.
Personally, I shall trust Com
munist sincerity the day I can

Central China and once again

Peiping into q center for Com
munist-sponsored conferences,

have no trouble getting here.
| In fact, at q time when there
are millions of Chinese living
below standards we consider nec-
essary for healthy survival, the
path is made SO smooth for these
delegates that they need spend
not one cent from the moment
they leave Ottawa, London, Rio
de Janeiro or Bombay.

where there is certainly not
enough food to meet the most
modest needs.

the cocktails endless, and If you
laid all the Oriental smiles end

King John signed the Magma

Manchuria.
Do you know it is impossible
today as a foreigner in China to
get through "a hours without
drinking a toast to some mean
ingless piece of gobbledygook
like international brotherhood"
and "the solidarity Of working
people everywhere" We poor
fools drink the toasts because,
of course, we believe in such
intangibles but we are speaking
two different languages.

When you voice these criti-
cisnns, officials look hurt and

with the people of China.

I do believe they are actually
convinced that unless you agree
to all their theological nonsense.
you must be a slave to some
capitalist ogre who has robbed

What is desperately needed is

needless rudeness.

cluded? In short, do you want
co-existence in the field Of COM
merce and chloroform in the
field of politics?"
No End of Political Warfare.
Sam says the answer he got
showed there could be no end to
political warfare Comra d e
Khrushchev was all for trade
and more diplomatic intercourse
But when Sam complained about
the Communists insistence that
only one kind of political system
could work and that was their
own, Khrushchev is said to have
replied: I'm this field there can
be no co-existence."
So how much further ahead
are we really? 7 think the Chi
nese Communists gave me the
answer by their actions and the
Kind of guided tour they offered.
They are in a desperately bad
economic situation but they
have the manpower to haul
themselves out of the hole. They
need maybe another five years
in which to get their heads at
least above water.
|, Are we then to sit back and
let them do this SO that at some
| future date they can lure the
rest of Asia into their camp?
Any one who has seen the Chi
nese people today working with
purpose and energy must feel
respect and admiration.
I wish them well whenever I
see their strained faces, their
thin bodies bent beneath enor-
nous loads of rock and earth,
graphing to rescue their country
from physical ruin.
Political War Continues.
Yet emotion must be tenn
pered with common sense. China
is land of uniformed ants and
led by some shrewd men who
have not yet assured the West
they no longer plan to reduce
the rest of us to this same state.
These leaders still find time

and near-sighted purveyors OF
goodwill whose intentions are
honest but who perform mental
somerSaultS to tell their hosts
about the stupidities and short
comings of the society we have
built out of centuries of political
struggle.
Luckily there is a third group
popping in and out of Peiping
these days with the courage and
perception to talk frankly about
the differences between East
and West. They are not many
but among them would include
Indian Prime Minister Nehru
and the British Laborites Glenn
ent Attlee and Aneurin Bevin,
all of whom left ideas behind
them on which Chinas leaders
are now chewing.
Some are deeply disturbed
about the answers they got to a
question. 1t is this: Is the world
big enough to hold both the
Communist bloc and ourselves?
Miner Gives Answer.
A blunt little miner from
Northern England put it to the
one man who above all others
should have been able to give
the reply we all want to hear.
Sam Watson of the Durham
MineWorkers' union was sick
and tired of hearing about
peaceful co-existence," that
phrase which, invented by Com
munist strategists, has now been
drummed into our heads with
the calculated regularity of all
organized fanatics.
Sam hopes, like most of us,
that the Communists really
mean it when they say both sides
can live together without an
explosion. But he wanted to be
sure. Nikita Khrushchev, secre-
tary of the Communist party in
Russia and successor to Stain
in that post, was here in Peiping
last month for one of those top
level talks with Chinese leaders
that leave the West doubling if
China and the Soviet Union
really are separate sovereignties
any longer.
Now look here" said Sam to

Buns on Visits to Peiping
Branded Menace to Peace

PEIPING.-Red China has a
conical conception Of the OUT
side world which could lead to

history and for this I blame the
professional buns wallowing in
their new careers as delegates to
an endless circuit Of Communist
conferences.

AS to lteracy, the minimum is that a voter be able to read
and write. To 90 below that would be to ask too much of a
prospective voter, who would then be vulnerable to all sorts
Iof bombardment without being able to sift for himself. And
as to residence, the voter should at least know the people
around him, the problems, and be able to think through the
situation.
IT SEEMS TO us that those who advocate that Puerto
lRicans be given blanket authority to vote, while not com
ing up to the minimum standards set for all natives, is ask
ing that the very purpose of our regulations be defeated. But
it does something else, it discriminates against the Puerto
Rican by setting a lower standard for him, which we are sure
they would neither want nor tolerate.
WE R CONFIDENT, therefore, that those Puerto
IRicans who intend to make St. Croix their home, and who
want to be good citizens, would be perfectly willing to stand
on even ground with all others, assume their share Of res
possibility, and come up to the standards set tor voting
rights and privileges. To those who complain, especially the
periodicals in Puerto Rico, attention should be called to the
fact that in order that natives vote, they must meet these
same standards.
H MATTER IS simple and clear, and therefore it is
only necessary to point to the rules and the reasons for them.
This done, the matter should be closed, for those who com
plain will now understand that what they ask is virtually an
impossible situation and one which will place their group in
Ia most mfavorable light. These people should be citizens,
with nothing added or taken away, and that, we believe, IS
what they would want, and nothing else, and they will vote
as soon as they qualify.

WHO SHOULD VOTE
EVERY NOW AND again one of the leading newspa-
pers of Puerto Rico undertakes to discuss the rights Of Puerto
Ricans resident in the Virgin Islands to full voting rights and
privileges. That these newspapers have a perfect right to dis
cuss these matters there can be no question. What, however,
needs Qualification is the attitude Of these papers, based in
part upon an unrealistic appraisal Of the situation. A word Of
Qualification, therefore, should suffice.
FIRST, THERE is no opposition, as such, to the exer-
else Of full political rights of Puerto Ricans resident here.
That fact is proved by the complete acceptance of these
people in political affairs. Many vote, many take part in cam
paigns, some have served as candidates. Older heads recall
that Manuel Roman, w~ell-known merchant, estate owner,
and distinguished Puerto Riean, served in the Council here
AT that time there were not enough Puerto Rieans to put him
there. In order to win a seat he had to have, and did have,
the support Of native voters. This should make it clear that
there is no such thing as opposition based entirely upon place
of birth.
SECOND, THERE are certain requirements and con-
dihons which apply to one and all, and there is no reason why
these should be relaxed. Once a precedent is established
then the entire system breaks down, and rules and regulations
fly out the window. In order to vote, a citizen must be 81
years of age, must be able to read and write, and be resi-
dent of his voting district for at least 2 years. These are
simple enough, and each and every nGttoe must obey and fol
low these regulations. Any Puerto Rican who can meet these
requirements is fully entitled to vote and nobody can stop
him.
THIRD, the requirements as to age, literacy, and resi-
dence are for good and sound reasons. In a democracy, where
the people rule themselves, a citizen must be old enough to-
know and understand what is happening about him, and be
able to sft through clouds of issues and yet vote intelligently
Then, too, with educational requirements as they are, most
boys and girls are in school until around II Or Is, which does
not leave much for really settling down to community life

Action on SIum Bill
Delayed as Senators
Take Time 10 Study

Senate District Committee &C
tion on the bill to give the Dis
trict the power to force repair
or removal of condemned insani-
tary buildings was postponed
today to give the Senators time
to study amendments being
worked out on the House side.
Senator Beall, Republican. of
Maryland, chairman of the Sem
ate District Subcommittee which
voted favorably on the measure,
told the full committee he had
been advised that amendments
were under consideration ito
give protection to small property
owners"
Delay Requested.
Senator Beall said that Rep
resentative O'Hara, Republican,
of Minnesota, chairman of the
House District subcommittee
considering the measure. had
asked that he hold up reporting
out the bill to avoid conflict in
the House and Senate versions
A House District Committee
spokesman said the amendments
had not been drafted yet and
the corporation counsel will not
be asked to draft them until
after the members of Mr..
O'Haras subcommittee make an
inspection tour of condemned
buildings Friday.
Mr.. O'Hara's subcommittee,
after three days of hearings,
showed interest in getting
amendments to assure the prop
erty owners right of appeal to
the court and to SPECIFY some
fixed period of time in which the
property owner would be re-
quired to repair or remove his
building.
Exact Aim Sought.
Several witnesses also urged
that the measure specify stand
ards of sanitation that a prop
erty owner would be expected
to maintain. There was some
question. however. of whether
anything as detailed as that
would be attempted.
The bill would amend the old
law governing the condemnation
of insanitary buildings. The Dis
trict would be given the power
to repair or demolish condemned
insanitary buildings where the
owner refused to take action.
The cost of the work would be
assessed to the property owner.
