Prospects for a New Korean War

battle turned against the
North Koreans and the Chi
nese entered the conflict and
stayed in 1t for more than
two years, it was Russian
support that made it possible
for the Communist forces to
ward off complete defeat.
Without that help. the Chi
nese with their inadequate
industrial structure could not
possibly have maintained
effective military forces in
Korea on their own resources.
at was because Of this
Russian direction and sup
port of the aggression in
North Korea that the United
States firmly insisted that in
any post-armistice political
conference, Russia could not
be considered a neutral par
ticipant, but must be present
as a nation with, at the least,
a special interest in the Ko-
rean conflict"
Vyshinsky, Russian repre-
sentative at the United Ma
tions, arrogantly admitted In
March, 1858, to the U. N.
General Assembly that the
Soviet Union continues" to
supply arms to Red China
in the Korean War.
Yet there are wishful-
linking Americans and or
cans of so-called liberal"
thought which would let by
cones be bygones and give
recognition to Red China and
admit that regime to the Sc
curity Council of the United
Nations. True liberalism does
not compromise with gang
sters and aggressors. 1t
doesn't accept the status
quo" and forsake oppressed
peoples. 1t doesn't abandon
ideahsm because this is sup
posed to be expedient. It does
keep burning brightly in the
minds of the enslaved the
hope that free men will not
forget them but will continue
to give them moral support.
There is only one way to
prevent another Korean War
1t is by standing firmly
against the Soviet scheming
in the Far East and letting it
be known that the United
Nations cannot be persuaded
to withdraw its forces until
there are ironclad guarantees
that agreements will be kept.
And this seems far distant in
the light of the continuous
violation of the existing armi-
stice agreements in Korea by
the Communists.

The mildeSt suggestion that

his press notices which were

DORIS FLEEsON

Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower
has been a golf widow for
five years and she has borne
that rather boring lot with
a good deal of grace. Occa-
sionally she has conflded to a
reporter that she felt a little
"Stir crazy" during the weeks
in Denver where few of her
old friends remain or in Au-
gusta where opportunities
for feminine diversion are
relatively limited. But to the
public she radiated cheer.
Now apparently the Geor-
gia cold and card games have
really palled and she de-
cided it was her turn to
have the kind of vacation
that all women dream Of
Furthermore. she declined to
take the bus while her hus-
band floated home in luxury
and she wanted her sister
and a friend with her.
Politically speaking, her
timing of course is terrible.

Furthermore, in case their

for them to keep their heads
down as much as possible.

The Soviet Union. agrees
sor in Korea. is now trying
to foment another war in
that area. While talking
glibly of an East-West con-
ference. the Moscow regime
may be laying plans for an
other Korean War - this
time with the hope Of crush
ing South Korea.
The stealing of a pasSen-
ger plane inside the territory
of the Korean republic is a
fragrant violation of the
armistice. The move was en-
gineered as a means of start
ing another Korean crisis.
The Communists say they
will release the prisoners if
the South Koreans recog-
nize the North Korean gov
eminent. This is a cruel way
to deal with human lives.
1t means indefinite impris-
onment for the innocent
South Koreans and Ameri-
cans who were on the plane.
It's an odd way Ito reduce
tension" which the Moscow
regime constantly avowS as
its purpose.
The first step was taken a
few weeks ago when Premier
Chou En-lai of the Red
Chinese regime in Peiping
went to North Korea and
arranged with the puppet
government there to publicize
a plan that would provide
for the withdrawal of all
foreign troops" from both
North and South Korea.
This means, of course, that
the Red Chinese troops
would move back a few miles
to the banks of the Yalu
River while the United Ma
tons troops presumably
would get out of the Korean
peninsula altogether. Then
the attack could be resumed
at any moment. and it would
be difficult for the U.N.
troops to be shipped back
promptly.
This is not a new proposal,
1t has been made time and
again and has been rejected
by the U. N. because it pal
pably is a strategic maneuver
to take over by force of arms
the South Korean republic.
The danger of war arises
because the South Koreans
will not hesitate to fight if
there is the slightest evidence
OF military action by the
Reds.

Ydigoras Here
On Brief Visit
BY the Associated Press

President-elect Miguel Ydi-
goras Fuentes Of Guatemala
has arrived here for a visit with
President Eisenhower and has
pledged his country will al
ways be in the front line in the
struggle against communism.
Secretary of State Dulles, in
welcoming the Guatemalan
last night, said the United
States had watched with very
great interest" Guatemala
custer of a pro-Communist
regime a few years ago. Mr.
Dulles said I'VE look forward
to what will happen in this
sister republic with which we
have such good and warm re-
lationships."
Mr.. Ydigoras spoke briefly in
English from a red-carpeted
stand erected in his honor just
below the ramp of a special
U. S. military air transport
plane which brought him here
II thank you for this wonder
full reception and it recalls
some very happy moments ]
spent here some years ago."
he said. II am looking forward
to visits with President Eisen-
hover and other officials of the
Government"
After the welcoming cere-
monies at National Airport,
official cars escorted the presi-
dent-elect. his wife and seven
members of their party to Blair
House.
Mr.. Ydigoras and his party
begin their official calls today
with a visit to Vice President
Nixon and luncheon with Mr..
Dulles.
Tomorrow Mr.. Ydigoras will
breakfast with Mr.. Eisenhower,
be honor guest at a luncheon
of the Organization Of Ameri-
can States. He will depart for

Nobody can rem e m b e r
when. If ever. the free world
in general and our own
country in particular has
been in graver danger than
cit is these days.
II is not the reputed mill
tary might Of International
communism which threat
ems us as much as the lack
of determination to answer
manfully the Red provoca-
tons.
While the Russian peace
doves are fluttering around
the world cooling for peace
full coexistence the Soviet
accolytes - Korean Commu-
nists and unwilling Arab ma
tionalists-are slapping the
face of the free world.
1t appears that America
has lost the capacity to be-
come irked at wanton provo
cations by our enemies. AS
a rule anger is a bad coun-
selor. But in diplomacy it
often pays dividends. Only a
few days ago the Korean
Communists hijacked a South
Korean DC-3 plane. The pilot
and copilot were Americans.
the latter a lieutenant colonel
logging extra time. So far
there has been no outcry
from Washington demanding
immediate and unconditional
release of the shanghaied
Americans.
The American secretary of
the armistice commission at
Panmunjom has demanded
that the North Koreans re-
turn the plane and its oc-
cupants. The North Koreans
denied that this was the
business Of the commission.
Nothing has happened since.
The Communist dictators
have become accustomed to
shoot down American and
allied planes without fear of
retaliation. Few people prob
ably remember that in the
summer of 1855 a few weeks
before President Eisenhower
went to the Geneva summit
meeting an unarmed Navy
plane on a meteorological
mission was shot down by
Russian fighters over the
Boring Straits. Moscow Of
fered eventually to pay half
the damage. On previous oc-
casionS they did not offer
even that. Hence it was not
surprising that President Ell
senhower appeared delighted
at that indication of good
will from the Kremlin and
stated at a news conference
that such minor incidents
would not stand in the way
of our efforts to bring a last
ing peace to the world. He
may have been right If our
patience could have led to
that result. But the Com
munists who shoot down
