Our policymakers know from
past experience that once we
give the Reds a little finger
they will take the whole hand.
The Peiping regime, after ex-
tensive verbal fireworks, and
even after Chou's refusal to
come to New York, may be
satisfied with the solution
which is being prepared in
London by Indian Prime Min
lister Nehru at the meeting Of
Commonwealth premiers. Mr..
Eisenhower knows that such
acceptance on our part will be
interpreted as another surren-

the Asiatics but also by the
Germans.
Western Europe is being
subjected to an effective bar
rage of Soviet propaganda.
The Europeans are being told

And the Kremlin spokesmen
add with fearful voices that
the USSR itself may have

It is not easy for the aver
age citizen to realize that our
stand when the Formosan cri-
sis comes to a head in the
United Nations will determine
the future course of history.
To some. accustomed to the
crises which have succeeded
one another since the end of
World War II, the recent out
burst in the West Pacific seems
to be just one more of many
encounters with the Reds
which may end. as usual, in
some sort of compro ise
whereby we lose another piece
Of underwear.
But those who have taken
careful stock of developments
over the last 10 years regard
the present Red Chinese ma
neuvers master-minded by the
Kremlin as the most serious
assault on the United States
since the outbreak of the cold
war. They will unquestionably
result, if successful, in sever
ing Germany from the West
ern European defense system
and throwing Japan into the
Communist orbit.
President Eisenhower and
his principal official advisers
recognized the situation when
they warned the world that we
would fight for FormoSa. There
is no reason at this writing to
doubt that the policy still
stands. But we must bear in
mind the strong pressure on
the administration from our
Western European allies, par
ticularly Britain, for a peaceful
settlement.
The British are telling us in
effect: 1--WE recognize that for
your strategic defenses in the
Pacific you need Formosa. We
shall help you in this. But why
bother about the offshore is
lands of Quemoy and Matsu?
And why continue to oppose
the entry of the Chinese Com
munists into the U. NJ? There
is no longer any purpose in
doing so since you must be

his superior, Attorney General
Brownell, and his intimate
friend, Vice President Nixon,
are the three men in the
Eisen h owe r administration
whom Democrats unanimously
suspect of putting purely po-

Mr.. Rogers travelled with Mr..

the end of a short time, usu-

his mind to join the union or
the employer is obliged to fire
him. He may have conscien-
tious objections to the join
ing of a labor union, but he
will lose his job if he does not
abide by the dictation of the
union.
There are many persons
who are not entitled to vote
because they have not lived in
the United States long enough
or have not applied early
enough to become citizens.
Are they to be debarred from
working just because they
have not had time to achieve
their citizenship?
What it all adds up to is a
form of coercion which the
Taft-Hartley Act and many
State laws, like the Pennsyl-
vania Labor Relations Act,
were designed to eliminate.
Nobody ever thought a union
shop" rule could be used to
cover anything but member
ship in a union.
If the State of Pennsylvania
or the Federal Government
wants to pass a law requiring
all citizens to register for vot-
ing, that is understandable.
But no private organization
like a labor union ought to
have the economic power to
deny a job opportunity to any
body. Hiring ought always to
be a management function.
For management takes the
risks and deserves the right to
choose its employees.

judgment of Mr.. Eisenhower's
future intentions.
The idea itself Of building
up Warren as an ace in the
hole for 1856 is logical and
meritorious. Had the present
Chief Justice achieved in New
York what he did as Governor
of California he would have
been nominated President and
elected by acclamation.
Instead he had to sit by in
Chicago and in 1852 watch
the Republican liberal forces
coalesce around a candidate
Of whose domestic views they
knew nothing. He permitted
himself to call attention to it
when with friends but he has
never complained.
The Chief Justice is now at
tempting to remove himself as
far as possible from political
consideration. If the Repub-
licans think they need him,
however. they will draft him as
all politicians realize. The
prospect is the more real be-
cause the present Republican
big three in California-the
Vice President, Senate Minor
ity Leader Knowland and Gov.
Goodwin Knight-are in a
bitter family fight for control
of the States delegation to the
1856 presidential nominating
convention. Like Barkis, these
three are all willing.

Doris FIeeson-

The Democratic majority in
Congress is quietly burying the
idea Of having Chief Justice
Earl Warren deliver a special
message to a joint session on
the needs of the Federal
judiciary.
This is not personal. It is
because Democrats sniff a
buildup of the Chief Justice
for 1856 in the event that
President Eisenhower decides
not to run again.
Instead increased pay for
the judicial branch will be
included in the bill now in the
works to raise Government
salaries. Speaker Rayburn has
given the green light to a
fiat salary of $25, 900 for men,
bers of Congress and Federal
judges; he strongly prefers it
to what he regards as decep-
tive gimmicks like tax-free
expense accounts.
Since President Eisenhower
also advocates pay raises the
prospects for action in 1856
which is not an election, year
are good.
The idea for the history
making Warren message came
from the Department of JUS
tice. Deputy Attorney General
Rogers proposed it last fall and
has been quietly pressing for it
among his friends in the press
and in Congress.

A Diagnosis Of China Situation
Crisis Caused by Refusal to Admit Chang Lost Civil War;
u. NJ Possesses No Tools for Preventing Conflict

Perhaps the chief difficulty
In creating q successful Amer
ican foreign policy is that
American public opinion and
the leadership that reflects it
are hostile to the mental ap-
proach required for correct
diagnosis.
The prerequisite for all sue
cessful action is accurate anal
ysis. Every situation must be
diagnosed before it can be
dealt with. And in such dag
nosis there is no place for
prejudices, desires, attach
ments, or even ideals.
A physician examining a pa
tient cannot allow the opera
ton Of such influences. The
patient may be his best friend.
The condition he discovers
may spell bad news. But he
cannot choose to act as though
the condition did not exist
because he wishes it did not,
and, ideally, it shouldn't.
In considering political ac-
tions a diagnosis may be cor
rect or incorrect, according to
the scope and reliability of
available information and the
logical capacities of the dag
nostician. But if likes or dis
likes enter into the process,
the diagnosis will certainly be
incorrect.
The diagnostician does not
create events. He analyses
them as basis for forecasting
the probable outcome of alter
native actions. But public
opinion tends to treat the
analysis as a view" motivated
by the prejudices of the
analyst.
Thus, those who observed
that the truncation and dis
memberment of Germany and
her elimination as a power
factor would hand the he
gemony of Europe to Russia
were denounced as "pro-Ger-
man." which was sufficient to
suppress the analysis.
Thus. reporters and diplo-
mats in China who made the
diagnosis that the Communists
would win because they COM
manded the more loyal and
disciplined troops, had the
abler intellectual leadership.

popular grievances, and alone

he wants to get the men reg

reason of the dual personality
setup in the labor world, is
also head of a political action

telling him how to vote after

anybody dared to carry the
CLOSED shop" doctrine to the
point of imposing a penalty on

voting or nonvoting habit has
been considered his own pri-
vate concern but, if it is to be
tied to his job opportunity,
then a new form of despotism
has arisen to emphasize what
compulsory unionization can
do in free America.

in Chief, which have been
strengthened by the congress
sional resolution of last week,
to repel Communist aggression
against Formosa, Quemoy and
Matsu. But how we will stand
up before a compromise solu-
ton offered by our allies is an
entirely different question.

Chinese know that they can

But they are confident that

they can win q decisive diplo-

The evil effects OF compul-
sorry unionization and its i'm
pairment of civil liberties in
America were never more WV
idly illustrated than in the
latest action of a labor union
in Pennsylvania which says no
man can have a job hereafter
unless he registers for voting.
Whether a citizen wishes to
vote or to refrain from voting
has hitherto been a preroga-
tive that nobody could inter
fere with. But evidently labor
union now can impose a pen
atty and put into effect what
amounts to compulsory voting.
Although the Associated
Press conveyed this news about
what was happening at Johns
town, Pa. throughout the
length and breadth of the land
earlier this week, one hasn't
heard a peep out Of the So

to cultivate as good relations

side of a civil war, at a mo-
