On Sidestepping Moral Issues
Proponents of Red Chino Opponents Of Judge Harlan Hit
For Unwiineness to Adhere to Bosic Principles
Dovid Lawrence

If there is a single outstand-
ing defect out of the many that
beset free governments today
1t is the unwillingness Of the
so-called intellectual groups to
face moral issues.
For months now there has
been a steady and persistent
campaign both here and
abroad which seeks to establish
the premise that because the
Communists have possession of
the mainland Of China and are
claiming some sort Of title to
Formosa. the free world might
as well embrace the Peiping
government and admit 1t to the
United Nations.
Yet this very week the
British government has re-
leased the story of the awful
treatment experienced by pris-
oners of the Red Chinese in
Korea. In Britain they have
been talking glibly, as do many
OF our own left wingers" about
the legal" position of the
Peiping government and of how
under international law" the
mutual defense treaty between
the United States and the Ma
tionalist government on For
mosa has no validity. But
memories are short. Only a
few years ago during wartime
there were in London many
governments in exile" with
which the British and Amer
ican governments dealt daily
and in fact recognized them
them as the legal governments
of their own countries, even
though the latter didn't con-
troll an inch of territory. Gen.
De Gaulle, for instance, rather
than Gen. Petain in occupied
Paris was the officially recog-
nized head Of the government
Of France.
There is today a state of
war between Peiping and the
U. N. In February, 1851 the
U. N. formally declared the Red
China government an aggres-
sor in Korea. While an armi-
stice has been signed, it has
been repeatedly violated by the

The President now knows
that politicians exaggerate in
matters Of this kind. He had
to fight like fury for the Re-
publican nomination and while
he won easily in 1852 he lost
the Congress in 1854. He has
seen much he thought wrong
in the Government, but the
country was and remains pros
porous. He has accepted the
basic framework of the domes-
tic and foreign policy he found
in operation. Another "cru-
sade" is not in the cards in
1856.
One Of the Presidents close
military associates believes
that he will not run again If
the country is at peace. Curl
ously, more women think this
than men among official cir
cles here.
Thus one story which can
not be confirmed is still re-
peated. It is that the Repub-
licans really chose San Fran
cisco for their convention so
that they could more easily
nominate a progressive mod
crate, Chief Justice Warren.

In Urging Free Election for Unified GERMANY

The West German Bunde-
stag in which Chancellor Ade-

has ratified the Paris pacts
providing for German re-
armament within the Western
Defense system.
However, it has ratified them
with a significant string at
tached. The opposition has
compelled the Adenauer gov
ernment to commit itself to
trying to negotiate with the
Soviet Union for German re-
unification before q new Ger
man army actually comes into
being.
Franz Josef Strauss, minis
ter in the Chancellor's cabinet
and strong Adenauer hacker,
used this argument to answer
the opposition which is
stronger in the country than it
is in Parliament.
Mr.. Strauss said ratification
would open the way for nego-
tiations with the Russians and
that talks may well take place
after ratification but before a
West German army is created"
Thus, ratification will be
less decisive than it originally
seemed. For by this commit
ment the West German rati-
fication leaves doors open that
will contribute to ratification
by Paris and Rome, where
there is no disposition to take
any step finally to align Eu-
rope within the American bloc
until a settlement with the
Soviets has been thoroughly
explored.
The same disposition exists
in London. spearheaded by the
Labor Party but with sufficient
outside support to force the

that nations could bind them

is still a wonderful objective
for which mankind can strive.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON

Venus and Saturn are the two
morning stars which have shown
considerable changes in position
within the last two weeks. Be
cause they move about in the
sky, the ancients properly called
them planets, which means wan
dererS.
Because of its size, the bright
planet Venus, shining brightly in
the southeastern sky during the
morning hours has been called the
twin sister to the earth. It does
not have a moon revolving around
it and being closer to the sun the
planet receives more heat.
The Greeks were mistaken con-
corning Venus because when it
was a morning star they called
it Phosphorus and when it was
an evening star, Hesperus They
did not recognize the same planet
which had merely moved about in
its own orbit
Like the planet Mercury it
presents different phases like the
moon when seen through a tele-
scope.
