there was no reason why some

He emphasized Red China's
persistent hostility TO Ameri-

As for American prestige
abroad. Mr.. Dulles feels It
stands higher than ever be-
fore with the governments OF
the free world countries" but
he commented that public
opinion In those countries
may perhaps have been
somewhat misled." He added
that the United States Is
respected more than It has
ever been before" He then
remarked:
There Is o difference be-

which we know are not going

rotary Of state John Foster

of questions from Q big gath
tering Of reporters here. they
would have learned more
about the foreign policy Of
the United States than ever
before. They would have
had to revise their oft-re-
peated charges that Mr..
Dulles Is rigid and infiexihle
and unwilling really TO zee q

For Mr.. Dulles said fiatly
that the United States wants
such q conference but doesn't
want It to end In disaster or
illusion and hence that II
seeks TO make sure that the
Soviet leaders seriously In
tend to negotiate instead Of
just playing Q propaganda
game.
The Secretary told Of the
years and years Of diplomatic
conferences that have been
held--and some still going
on-with the Soviet repre-
sentatives and Of the broken
pledges. He insisted that
there could be q summit"
conference to 'sanctify"
agreements previously made
by the foreign ministers. He
pointed out. however. that
when the foreign ministers
or ambassadors negotiate
they do so by direction Of
the President or the mead OF

President Eisenhower's let
ter to Chairman Buleanin
should dissipate once and for

q summit meeting which
merely represents another
episode In the cold war and
which would be held under
circumstances that would
carry great peril to the free
world.
There are. I know. many
who feel that the cold war
could be ended and the need
for sacriiicial effort removed
by . stroke Of Q pen at the
summit, That Is the kind
Of Illusion that has plagued
mankind for q long time.
Actually. peace Is never
achieved In that way. and
nothing could be more folly
for Us than TO act on the be-
lief that ell our danger could
be ended BY peaceful plati-
tudes proclaimed from the
summit by heads Of govern
ment."
Yet this Ia precisely the
point Of view being empha-
sized In many European news
papers which have been at
lacking Mr.. Dulles as unwill-
ing to negotiate. The Ameri-
can Secretary Of State Is
eager TO negotiate. but he
doesn't see any sense In bring
ing the heads Of state togeth-
er TO give an appearance Of
peace which would discour-
age the taking Of the defense
measures deemed necessary
against Communist impe-
rialism.
Mr.. Dulles said It would be
"the greatest triumph" Of

he could bring about the re-
taxation Of military effort by
the West merely by pro-
nouncing platitudes Of friend
ship and good will without
any corresponding acts to as

Sukorno, Reds Exhibit A in Asia

New Guinea under either In
ternational law or the provi-
sions of the United Nations
Charter. Apparently the ac-
ton OF the Indonesian gov
eminent against Dutch ma
tionals is an attempt TO
blackmail the Netherlands
into relinquishing control
over New Guinea.
Last November 3 a joint

able rights Of their inhabi-
tants in conformity with the
provisions and the spirit of
the United Nations Charter"
II is impossible to estimate
the number OF Dutch who
have been forced TO abandon
their homes in Indonesia.
The Indonesian government
recently announced that 1t
is drafting" certain Dutch
technicians. How many will
be forced into this position Of
involuntary servltude is un.
known. The best approxima-
ton is that by the end of
January some 10000 Dutch
nationals will be refugees.
An amazing facet of the
entire incident is that no
one seems to become emo-
tionsl about the fact that
10000 or more Westerners
have been displaced without
any regard for international
law or elemental justice.
Our Government. which can
get so excited about certain
refugee problems. exhibits a
lack Of interest in our Dutch
allies when the people are
being used as the scapegoats
in this power squeeze. Do We
intend to support them dip.
lomatically? Apparently not
much.

was formed, and each team played
a total of 10 games. This season
Sunbury has withdrawn from the

16 games. Manteo's games are
evenly divided with games home,
and 8 away. The team has five

in the beautiful new Redskin gym.
Coach Ayers has probably his

But football injuries, and doubtful
