U.S.. Side of Red China Press Ban

anese people to join with the
Communist Chinese ito expel"
the United States from Asia.
The article, which was put into
the congressional proceedings
on March %, had been fur
nished several days before to
the American press services by
an American periodical, whose
correspondent got the news in
Tokyo. But it was not printed
in the principal newspapers Of
the United States, thus indi-
eating that there probably isn't
much interest in the news from
Red China nowadays despite
the protracted discussions here
about letting American news
men enter Red China.
Perhaps the most pertinent
comment on the whole subject
has come from Walker Stone,
editor in chief Of the Scripps-
Howard papers, who wrote
from Rangoon last month:
Americans. engaging in aca-
demic disputes about free
press. over whether United
States correspondents should
roam through Red China. or
in disputes Involving the prin-
ciples Of free trade. over
whether goods should be sold
to Iron Curtain countries. can
not know the effect Of their
words in this part Of the world.
These are not academic ques.
tons here; they are matters
Of life and death. When some
one sneezes in Washington,
politicians out here catch cold.
ANY sign In the United
States Of yielding to Red China
is taken as a step toward rec
ignition and giving respecta.
bility to the Communist re-
gime."
So. after all, it's q question
Of whether Red China. by its
propaganda maneuver. shall
use American newsmen as "in-
struments" Of its foreign policy
or whether American newsmen
will, as between the two "in-
struments." prefer to abide by
their own Governments wishes
in a difficult question Of inter-
national relations.

Backing UP President Eisen-

increase in military spending
could be attributed to rising

He said he was sure, that q

due to imitation In the overall
Federal budget as well as in
the military outlay.
He read a formal statement

question. Here is the reply:

Dulles went on to say that
he saw no objection to the use
of foreign citizens to gather
news in Red China for Amer

Canadian and British, Austral-

could. Of course. get passports

coming out that way. But

it comes out. Thus, in March a

Diksen and HoIIeck Called Eisenhower's
Confidential Advisers in Capitol

1t is now admitted by Re-
publicans that last January
Representative Halleck. with
White House help, was setting
the stage for a last-ditch
struggle to make Halleck the
actual leader and therefore
Speaker should Republicans
regain control Of the House.
Apparently the White House
became convinced that the ef-
fort would fail, for it was
abandoned.
The relationship between
the President and Halleck re-
mains close. The President is
described as personally de-
voted to the Congressman from
Indiana and as convinced that
Halleck is his most astute
guide in legislative matters.
Senator Dirksen Is not be-
lieved to inspire such per-
sonal regard on the part Of the
President. Yet Senators who
supported Eisenhower for the
nomination in 1852 when
Dirksen was dwelling an ac-
cusihg finger at Thomas e.

Senator Taft have repeatedly
had the experience Of hearing

tation about the budget mean
that our people finally have
had enough, and nave now
come to the simple truth pre-
viously Stated-that the only
answer Is real disarmament,
effectively enforced?
President Eisenhower sug-
gested as much In expressing
his belief that something like
that Is happening among the
Russian people. To such pres
sure he ascribed the more Sc
rious attitude toward disarma-
ment proposals among the
Russian diplomats which Har-
old Stassen has reported from
the current negotiations in
London. It seems worthwhile
to quote President Eisenhow-
er's full statement at his news
conference this week. He said:
II think that the reason
that the Soviets are taking q

as well as all the rest Of the
world. are feeling the pinch

tanning these tremendous mill
tary organizations. They are

the same way because their
taxes are handled very abrupt
ly and even rudely. Their taxes
are lowered by telling the peo-
pie: We won't pay the in
terest on the national debt or
any other thing they want to
do. We can't operate that way.
We are a free society, and we
use the personal incentive to
generate the power that the
United States must generate,
but they are nevertheless feel
ing the pinch. And because
they feel that pinch, and. be-

The simple truth Is that the
only answer to the problem Of
big budgets, is real disarma-
ment. effectively enforced.
Until we get such disarma-
ment in the world, budgets
must continue to be big. That
won't be Immediately, or next
year. though the negotiations
now going on in London seem
to be the most hopeful since
the end Of the Second World
War.
President Eisenhower stated
the problem when, in his tele-
vision report this week. he said
of defense expenditures in his

to strengthen our allies to re-
sist Communist penetration.
AS onerous as big budgets
are, the current one-and 1t

be a blessing If it would drive
home to our people one lesson.
That is the need Of lifting from
our backs and from the backs

Whenever the press is itself
engaged In a controversy af-
fecting It's own interests, 1t is
important that both sides Of
the dispute be fully presented.
Thus, in the argument that has
developed between the Depart
ment Of State and the press
services of the United States
about sending news CORE
spondents into Communist
China, it is only fair that the
position taken by the Secretary
of State himself. should be
widely disseminated so that
the public may make up its
own mind as to the merits
Of the issue.
Dulles, at his press confer
ence on Tuesday Of this week,
was asked. for instance, to ex-
plain his recent statement that
constitutional freedom Of the
press is really a right to pub
lication of news and not a right
to go everywhere to gather
news. He replied:
1T has been suggested that
by reason Of the First Amend
ment that newspaper people
in exercise of the freedom of
the press have q right to freely
travel everywhere. I merely
pointed out that that is not
the Interpretation of the Con-
stitution which the United
States Supreme Court has

Dulles was asked for cita-
tions from court decisions and
he gave a number of them,
the latest being a 1916 opinion
by the Supreme Court Of the
United States which said:
THE purpose Of the Con-
stitution was not to erect the

tuition. but to protect all per-
sons in their right to print
