flagrantly violated. Mr.. Dulles
added:
ut can, I think. be said with
confidence that recognition
would not have been accorded
the Soviet Union even in 1888
had there been clear warning
that the Soviet promises given
in that connection were totally
unreliable. that aggressive war
would soon become an in
strumentality of Soviet policy,
and that it would be neutral
toward Japanese aggression in
Asia.
I'm the case of Communist
China we are forewarned. That
regime fails to pass even those
tests which. after 16 years, the
Soviet regime seemed to pass"
Mr.. Dulles proclaims un-
ceasing opposition to the
admission of Red China to the
United Nations. He cites the
many aggressions committed
by Red China, including the
war in Korea which cost so
many American lives. He says
America will never succumb to
the argument of "inevitability"
of recognition. He places his
faith in certain fundamental
beliefs" and one of them is
"the future of human free
DOM" Mr.. Dulles notes that
inside and outside China the
aspirations of the Chinese
people to be free are being
constantly expressed and there
is a growing confidence in the
ultimate overthrow of the ma

It must be taken for granted
that Secretary of State Dulles
speech last Friday setting forth
without any clubbing Amer
ica's policy toward Communist
China was made in consulta-
ton with and the full approval
not only of President Eisen-
hover but also of Republican
and Democratic leaders in
Congress.
Mr.. Dulles served notice to
allies. neutralists and foes that:
ID America has not the slight
est intention of recognizing the
Peiping regime: (2) America
considers trade with China as
unnecessary and dangerous to
our vital interests in that area;
and 90 America is as formally
and definitely opposed to Com
munist China's entry into the
United Nations as she has
ever been.
The speech was properly de-
scribed long before its delivery
on the West Coast as a major
statement Of policy by the Sec
rotary OF State. It was deemed
necessary at this time because
various statements from the
White House. by a number of
legislators and other men in
public life, had created the
impression abroad that the
United States was weakening"

President Eisenhower's off

Communists on the Chinese
mainland had given credence

The disarmament barometer

The disarmament barometer
was falling last week.
Efforts from within the adj
ministration to pull back the
President from his commit
ment to his disarmament
negotiator, Harold Stassen,
were only partially success
full. The President said he
would still try to get a test
ban on nuclear bomb tests.
But he revealed himself that
the doubters had had his ear
and he was clearly impressed
by their arguments. These
doubters are led by Lewis L.
Strauss. chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission,
and Admiral Arthur j. Rad
ford. chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
In detail, the President de-
scribed the arguments of the
scientists who support the
Strauss-Radford stand. They
had told him that within four
or five years they could pro-
duce IAN absolutely clean
bomb" which would have no
dangerous fallout but that
they would need to test each
step.
The President said he would
go ahead anyway with the
London negotiations because
OF psychological factors and
the fears of the world" But

This time it will affect the

8. The Secretary of State Of
the United States, John Fos-
ter Dulles, gave expression to
American idealism in a re-
markable speech at San Fran
cisco outlining point by point
why the United States refuses
to extend diplomatic recogni-
ton to Red China.
This was one of the greatest
addresses any American has
ever delivered on the under
lying principles that govern
the policies of the United
States in international rela-

read before every civic organ

the one in Peiping is not. He

Strauss. men who enjoy the
confidence Of Congress. 1t is
generally agreed here that Mr..
Strauss, in producing his

not done Mr.. Stassen any
good.
The anti-Strauss faction on
the Joint Atomic Committee
bitterly suggests that his ac-
tions were merely counter
propaganda" They would like
to hear other scientists on the
subject, but are reluctant to
take steps which might be
considered as interference in
forming disarmament policy.
At this point they would
prefer to see the Disarmament
subcommittee take up some of
the questions that are being
raised by Mr.. Strauss and by
the retiring Acc commission
er, Thomas E. Murray, who
wants to stop testing H-bombs
but not the small nuclear
weapons.
Mr.. Murray contends the
country is short of such small
weapons now. Defense Secre-
tary Charles E. Wilson says 1t
is not.
The anticipated civil rights

therefore will be on hand if

now predict, Mr.. Stassen is

u. S. Stands Firm on Red China

Gus assistance for military
preparedness these countries
receive from us, they are
spending a major part Of their
meager national income on
defense.
What is more important, In
the event Of q Communist mill
tary aggression either across
the Atlantic or elsewhere, no
neutralism of ''what-do-we-
get-for-it" sentiment will be
found among them. They all
regard themselves as allies Of
America and militant fighters
for the Free World.
The tiny republics Of Korea
and Nationalist China today
have combat ready ground
forces exceeding by far similar
combined forces of all West
ern Europe. And in these un.
certain times when we don't
know whence the Reds may
spring. it is important that at
least these allies of ours In
the Pacific don't become dis
heartened.
These considerations have
prompted Secretary Dulles
obviously with the blessings Of
all other policy-making per-
sonalities and organs in this
country-to deliver what the
Communists will certainly de-
nounce as a "war-mongering"
speech.
Mr.. Dulles pointed out that
Communism in China is only
a passing phase" This is not
an oratorical phrase. It was
based on positive information
which has come out of China
for the last IL months or more.
Mr.. Dulles also pointed out
that We do not want any part
OF what innocent American
businessmen believe to be o
rich field of trade with China.
The Secretary emphasized
that all that the men in Pei
ping want is the produce Of
the West which can be uti-
lized to increase the military
power of the Communist. re-
gime. Moreover. there is little
they can offer for actual

Three momentous demon
STATIONS Of moral force that
can help the cause Of human
betterment in the world have
Just been made. Though not
in themselves interrelated.
nevertheless all three had as
their common depominator
the ideals and rights of man.
History will record that on the
same day - June % - these
three developments occurred:
/. President Eisenhower took
of his shoes in accordance
with Oriental custom as he
entered the new Islamic Gen.
ter in Washington and paid
his respects to the 270 million
Moslems Of the world. He said:
America would fight with
her whole strength for your
right to have here your own
church and worship according
to your own conscience"
This is a message that will
resound throughout Asia and
the Middle East where too
long an erroneous impression
has prevailed that Western
nations are intolerant Of any
other religions except their
own.
2. Pope Plus XII, one of the
great statesmen of modern
times, told the American Jew
ish Committee that he was
with them in their fight for
the rights of man. He deplored
racial discrimination and the
persecution of Jews in various
parts of the world. The visit
ing delegation, after leaving
the Vatican, said they had
found "a great friend" in the
Pontiff.
One Catholic prelate, accord
ing to a New York Times dis
patch from Rome, said after
wards that "a new chapter" in
the Vatican's attitude toward
Jewish problems had been
opened. No precedent for a
formal address by the Pope to
a Jewish group in the 10 years
Of Pope Plus pontif1cate could
be recalled by Vatican officials.

Eisenhower's Appeals to Business
Recall Similar Efforts by Hoover

Members Of Congress, ex-
perienced in the ways of hui
man beings who profit from
booms, look with growing
skepticism on President Eisen-
hower's attempt to talk busi-
ness into holding down price
increases and labor to stop
asking for higher wages.
AS evidence they point to
the appeal the President made
to business and labor at his
news conference last week only
to have United States Steel
announce. the very next day a
Sc a ton increase in the price
OF steel. just as If the Presi-
dent never had spoken. That
gave another upward twist to
the price-wage spiral that has
produced an inf1ationary sit
uation that is becoming a dan
ger to all of us, and an espe-
cial hardship to the millions
on fixed incomes.
AS further evidence Of the
futility Of mere words, even
from so popular and beguiling
figure as our President, skep-
tics recall the appeal by him
last January in his annual
message to Congress to BUSH
ness and labor. Before that
appeal the consumer index of
the Labor Departments Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics had
increased every month for
four months. In each of the
