The Choice in Poland

For the first time In more than a
decade, the Polish people have had q
chance to exercise a little bit of freedom
at the polls. They have not been sub
jected, as in the past, to direct terroristic
preSsureS. They have been at liberty
either to abstain from voting or to cross
out the names Of the preferred Commu-
mist candidates on the single-list par
liamentary ticket. But they have done
neither on large scale. Instead, they
have turned out in great numbers-about
80 per cent Of the eligible electorate-to
support Wladyslaw Gomulka. AS re-
suit, Warsaw'S anti-Stalinist Reds will
be able to organize regime with a solid
majority behind it.
The overwhelmingly Catholic Poles
have not voted this way, however, be-
cause they want to be under Communist
rule. On the contrary, they have done so
only because they have had good reason
to fear that reputation of Mr.. Gomulka
who still is something Of hero to them
for his sensational October resistance to
complete Soviet domination-might well

words Of Mr. Gomulka himself: ITO cross

try and crossing Poland of the map Of

Having thus been warned, in effect,
that they would be inviting pitiless Soviet
repression If they ousted too many Of the
Red candidates, 1t is understandable that
the Poles have voted as they have. In
that sense, they obviously have been in
fiuenced by kind of indirect terror from
the Kremlin-a threat to their very ex-

Where Our Destiny Lies

This mighty Nation of ours was a
vast wilderness when John Donne wrote
that mo man is an island entire of It

dent, must rule all we think and all we

gressional inaction resulted from vigorous
opposition to the Burke plan by Virginia
property owners and by Maryland sup
porters Of Friendship Airport as an aux
iliary Washington terminal. Meanwhile,
as the President commented in his mes
sage, Congress 'has been studying alter
native solutions" far without success.
Now the President has put squarely
up to Congress the question of continuing
with the Burke project-which he believes
is the "best long-term solution"-or
abandoning 1t in favor of something else.

Love That Parade

It may not be literally true that
Everybody loves a parade" but there
were lot Of people along Pennsylvania
avenue who loved that one yesterday.
Slow to assemble on a day of uncer-
tain weather-although some youthful
standees were leaning on the ropes by
10 a.m.-the crowd that stretched from
the Capitol to the White House was
equally reluctant to dispense. And, by
the time the tail-end units of the more
than three-hour procession were on the
way past, gay spirit Of camaraderie had
developed between watchers and march,
0rs. Before then, the usual features and
some new ones had kept the applause
rolling like slow tide down the length
Of the avenue. The cadets from the
service academies, for example, always
have their fans among young and old
and their precision marching yesterday
earned each group happy and loud well
come. Some of the business-like combat
outfits were applauded with an added
tone Of respect and awe. The crop of new
weapons, the model Of the new Air Force
Starhghter and the crew from the recent
record ound-the-world B-52 flight all
shared measure Of extra attention.
There were FUN things" in the last
half Of the parade and no really en-
barrassing incidents. The Nevada sheriff's
posse looked smart ahorseback, and so
did several other mounted outfits
including young lady named Miss Bush,
who rode young elephant named Miss
Burma. The biggest float had some
trouble, but made it. The visiting Gov
ernors waved themselves close to ex-
haustion, but they made it too. The
President and Mrs. Eisenhower appeared
to enjoy the ride down, and then APP
peared to enjoy everybody else in the
parade going past. All in all, 1t was
good show-and all we have to do now is
wait until 1861.

Best Long-Term Solution

President Eisenhower, whose aides
have examined every proposed alterna-
tive to new airport at Burke, Virginia,
has decided that there is no practicable
alternative. His decision should help to
resolve the controversy that has delayed
construction Of much-needed second
civil air terminal In the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
In his budget message to Congress
the President said he would ask for $35-
million appropriation with which to re-
sumo the dormant Burke project. Al
though the Federal Government already
has bought thousand acres for the
proposed airport, Congress brought the
undertaking to q standstill by refusing
to grant any further funds for 1t. Con-

You made a mistake in your
otherwise fine editorial Janu-
airy IS on Dean Acheson's
appearance before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
You said he didn't mention
the Formosa policy. He did.
He said the FormoSa resolu-
ton was unnecessary, fool
ish and dangerous" Since this
policy received the overwhelm-
ing approval of Congress two
years ago. only three in each
body voting against it, there
is a rather wide difference of
opinion between Mr.. Acheson
and Congress on past as well
as present policies.

what will happen to him?
Alas. the vital statistics tell
plainly enough, if people
would heed. but probably they
don't. which is just as well.
There are some things that
needing seems to do very little
good about.
AS Jones sat slipping his
coffee-not expresso-he
thought to himself, as he
looked at the man:
1T would do no good to warn
him.
HE is geared to fastness.
ut is his natural pace.
He eats fast. talks fast,
drinks fast, walks fast. Thinks
fast, too"
Temp Jones knew a man
once who raced through his
dinner after the very famous
wolf pattern.
Somehow, wolves have ter
rible regulations along this
line. Perhaps it comes from
the stories that once came out
of Russia. about the wolves
leaping on people in sleighs.
This man who wolfed his
food finally landed in a hos
pital, as Jones knew at the
time he would.
But what could he say?
In equal patience, Templeton
Jones let his little fly alone.
There is more than one sort
of patience. 1t is patience, Of
a sort, to watch somebody do
a thing wrong, to know he is
wrong, and then to say nothing.
After all. no one can be a
human gadfly to others with
out most of these others re-
senting it very much.
Everyone knows what they
finally did to Socrates.
Temp Jones is a sort of phi
losopher. but not in the grand
manner.
He merely lets his small fly
alone. to come to its final
resting place on the jacket Of
one of his books.
After all, its little life was
not very long. That is the
reason why fruit flies are used
in experimental work. Their
lives are short. You can get q
heap O. living in q short time
with fruit flies.

A very small fly had died on
one Of Templeton Jones books.
Its body. f1attened and dry.
held tenaciously to the cover.
Jones did not remove it.
After all, it was q very little
fly, probably of the sort that
comes in on vegetables and
fruits in the fall.
Which is one of the very
best reasons there is for wash
ing all such material carefully.
Temp Jones did not like to
swat these little flies.
There is enough killing in
the world as it is, he held, and
rightly, some will think, though
not all.

Another reason why he did
not swat these small flies was
that they were very capable.
One Inland the fly was not
there.
The swatter struck again
and again the little creature
had flown.
1t had a very fine nose, too.
Every time dinner was
served, there he was flying
hither and thither.
If left to himself, of course.
he finally flew down.
So mostly he was left to his
own devices, as the story books
say.
He particularly liked fruit,
and would always land on it
if he could.
"A fruit f1y!" chortled Tenn
pleton Jones. as if he had made
a great discovery.
Sometimes Jones discoveries
are very small, but interesting
to him, at least.

The big selling point OF

its goal is a world without

from a Marxist doctrine
which has produced such
great inhumanity? Peace
springs from the character.
outlook and quality of the
people themselves. Hence, the
question is: Can Russian edu-
cation-which is largely based
on the theory that the habits
of men are determined by the
tools he uses to earn his liv-
ing-and the Russian society
produce a type Of human being
with the outlook, wisdom,
character and culture essential
to peace? ] doubt 1t.

of the whole of democracy?
Can it make of democracy a

dulge the employment OF
racism by ruling powers to es-
tablish colonialism? Can it
scientifically approach the
question, What is MANI" Can
it make the wisdom, character
and culture of this country
balance its natural technology,

can do these things, 1t will

Dangerous DeodIine

A deadline carrying a new threat to
peace in South Asia is coming up on
Saturday. For on that day a draft
constitution approved by the Indian
dominated Kashmiri Assembly, and au-
thorizing accession of the disputed state
to India, theoretically becomes effective.
Pakistan, protesting this manner of re-
solving a. controversy that has been
raging since 1947, has brought the case
before the United Nations Security Coun-
Gil. Reporting Indian troops massing
along the Pakistani frontiers, Foreign
Minister Noon of Pakistan has appealed
TO the Council: ~ To urge India to refrain
from accepting this change in Kashmir's
status; (2) to introduce United Nations
police force into the area at once; (3)
to take steps toward long-discussed
plebiScite by which the Kashmiri people
would decide their own political future.
midas answer before the Council is
tentatively scheduled tomorrow morn
ing. After hearing Mr.. Moons appeal,
United States Ambassador Lodge urged
the Council Ito establish its position on
the question prior to January &C."
There is nothing in the history of
the Kashmir controversy to encourage
hopes that India will make conciliatory
answer to the latest Pakistani charges.
Prime Minister Nehru, insisting that mill
tary aggression against the state was
initiated by Pakistan in 1947, has refused
to withdraw Indian troops even though
the Karachi government has agreed to
simultaneous withdrawal of its own
forces. In 1948, the U. N. worked out
agreement for a ceaSe-fire and plebi-
settle. In 1851, the Security Council
adopted a resolution calling for demili-
tarization and a plebiscite. In 1858,
Prime Minister Nehru and Prime Minister
Mohammed Ali of Pakistan announced
instances there was evidence that Pakis-
tan was hopeful the issue could be resolved
through U. N.-policed free vote of the
KaShmiri people. But through the years
India has extended its political control
over the KaShmiri Assembly, in some
cases through custer and arrest of dis
Senting members. Thus, it is doubtful
that action Of the Assembly represents
the free viii Of the Kashmiri people.
There appears to be no practical way
by which the United Nations can put
police force in Kashmir, at least before
the January 26 deadline. It would be
a matter of utmost seriousness, however,
If India should attempt to force by mill
tary pressure an annexation of the state.
The right of genuine self-determination
was promised to each Indian state at the
time of partition in 1947, and it has not
yet been permitted in KaShmir The Sc
curity Council should make every effort,
despite past Illustrations, to bring such
an expression about-or make clear where
the blame belongs.
