Shades of the Days of Munich

Western influence in Burma
and Cambodia has been rising.
It comes when q strong de.
tense Is being built up by the
free people in Indo- China. It
comes. at q time when the
Chinese Communists have not
shown the slightest sign Of be-
coming peaceful but on the
contrary. have manifested a
greater degree of belligerency
than before. They have vio-
lated the armistice in Korea
and have built up airfields
for Jets. They have construct
ed new military supply lines to
mount a threat against For
mosa. They hold by force Of
arms two provinces Of Laos
and Cambodia.
Now the Asian nations see
Great Britain weakening on
the embargo. and observe also
lots Of people in America talk
ing naively about going along
with that decision as a "prac-
teal" matter. 1t is all so remi-
niscent Of Munich and the
prewar days when many people
thought you could do busi-
ness with Hitler"
President Eisenhower has
not spoken out clearly as yet
about the situatian. In fact,
his off-hand comments at the
press conference last week
gave the impression that it is
up to Congress and that there
is q law which prevents our
trading with the Red Chinese.
The embargo can be dissolved
overnight by a presidential re-
vision Of the executive order
now in effect. The President
doubtless has been briefed by
now on the implications Of any
weakening by America and on
the dangerous consequences in
Southeast Asia as well as the
Far East. 1t may be assumed
that an official statement re-
iterating the position Of the
United States and expressing
regret at Britain's decision to
ego it alone" in world affairs
will soon be forthcoming.
It is by mistakes arising out
Of q selfish materialism that
the peaceful nations of the
world find themselves dragged
into war. To arm the Red Chi
nese now by letting them in
dustrialize rapidly is to bring
nearer the day Of q third
world war.

Compoign Is Believed Bosed on the Fact
That They Lead in Conventional Power
CONSTANTINE BROWN

That the Soviet Union is
driving hard toward q drastic
limitation Of nuclear weapons
and abolition Of the H-bomb
is the news which Harold
Stassen repeatedly brought
back to Washington this week.
Stassen's conversations with
Secretary Of State Dulles are,
Of course. kept highly secret.
But 1t is known that respon-
sible military men In the
Pentagon are seriously dis
turbed. They fear that Stas-
sens optimism that I'VE are
finally getting somewhere"
may lead US into some emo
tional-ideological trap.
The consensus Of many
qualified military observers is
that Soviet leaders feel, de-
spite their efforts to catch UP
with US, that the USSR is
auantitatively behind America
In the A and H bomb field.
The Communists have waged
q. relentless propaganda ia
voring abolition Of all atomic
bombs. They are using their
mouthpieces in this country
as well as in the rest Sof the
world toward that end. Nobody
believes the Kremlin leaders
are moved by humanitarian
motives. The real truth, ac-
cording TO those in q position
to appraise the situation &C.
curately. is that Russia with
its 200 million inhabitants,
nearly 100 million in European
satellites and 900 million Chi
nese allies" prefers to revert
to conventional warfare for its
own purposes.
There was q time. q quarter
Of a century ago, when Rus
sia's spokesman at the interna-
tional disarmament confer.
ences were loudly pressing for
total disarmament. In those
days the Soviet's military
power was negligible. It hoped
to win its goals through prop
uganda and subversion.
The question Of throwing

years. It was the main con-

In q Capital too long starved
for the light touch in matters
political, President Eisenhow-
er's involved prose has pro-
vided reporters who interpret
it with considerable private
amusement. Their pastime
has now made the public do
main with q composition by
some anonymous benefactor
which is being widely circu-
lated in the White House press
room.
It Is entitled: 1.-THE Gettys-

as follows:

simultaneously for Republicans
to vote against the so-called
Jury trial" amendment spon-
sored by Southern Democrats.
In that connection he recalled
President Eisenhower's rejec-
ton Of that amendment at a
recent news conference.
Then the Massachusetts, vet
eran pulled from his pocket an
analysis of last November's
election in terms Of the Negro
vote, which showed a substan-
tial shift away from the Demo-
Gratis to President Eisenhower
in big urban areas in the East
and industrial Middle West.
AS a means Of holding as much
OF that gain as possible In the
elections for Congress next
year the party leader stressed
to his colleagues the impor.

sure which, beyond It's injunc-

we have. The Russian general

America will never engage in

weapons will be used only in
retaliation against aggression.
The Red military and political
leaders also know that the

so long as we possess the nu-

Lowmokers Speculate on Effects
OF Natural Gas and Riqhts Bills

Behind the scenes in the
cloakrooms and Hobbies at the
Capitol there is speculation
about the possible political
effects in next years crucial
congressional elections Of two
issues now coming to the fore.
These are % the bill to
exempt natural gas producers
from regulation by the Federal
Power Commission and (2)
the Eisenhower administra-
tons civil rights bill which
stresses protection of the right
Of Negroes to vote which is
endangered in some parts Of
the South.
They are being weighed for
their political effect in big,
populous urban areas Of the
East and Middle West which
seem sure to become the bat
tleground, since it is there
that Republicans must make
inroads II they are to regain
control Of Congress.
In gas consumer sections,
which include big cities, peo-
pie are aroused over the pros
pect Of higher prices II the bill
should become law and are
being organized politically
against 1t. AS for the civil
rights issue, 1t also is import
tant In the big cities, especially
in the East and Industrial
Middle West. There Negroes
cast a large vote that is q
potential balance Of power be-
tween the two parties in many
cases.

Sometimes the biggest news

ment, itself. doesn't speak out
about the dangers Of what Is
happening contemporaneously.
For something very alarming
has just happened that could
be one Of the steps which
would force q world war on the
American people in the next
decade.
The question might wen be
asked out Of bitter experience
are the free nations today
preparing to arm the enemy
and will they not thereby &C
CELEBRATE the time when q third
world war may sweep the
globe?
The decision on the part Of
Great Britain to break faith
with the United States and
seven other nations by relax
ing the embargo on trade with
Red China is q sensational
development. It is unquestion-
ably q turn of affairs which
spells q weakening Of the posi-

In the "cold war"
Hitler bought his arms from
British colonies and territories
and kept supplying his NUM-
lions stockpile up to almost the
very month when the Second
World War broke out In 1899.
The allies paid for that mis-
take-in human lives lost.
British merchants kept on
trading with the enemy
through nearly three years Of
the First World War at the
same time that American trade
with neutral countries was be-
ing interfered with by the Lon
don government. This pro-
longed the conflict and the
