Moybe Tomorrow

Although 1t has moderated It's past
opposition to preparing adequately for
a heads-of-governmen summit confer
ence, the Kremlin's latest proposal on
the subject still falls far short of being
acceptable to the United States. The
chief reason for this, as Secretary Dulles
has made clear, is that the proposal
sets forth too many conditions and is
much too qualified to nourish the hope
that such meeting would be productive
of good results.
Thus, to begin with, the Soviet
Union continues to fight shy Of agree
ing to genuinely effective preparatory
procedure. What it has asked for, In.
stead, is strange sort Of foreign min
isters' get-together at which more than
two dozen countries might be repre-
scented. Further than that, this get
together, which apparently could not be
held unless the West first committed It
self to take part in June summit con-
= ference, would have only the strictly
limited function of listing the agenda
items for that conference and deciding
what nations should sit in on it.
On its face, such an arrangement
would rule out the possibility of prepar-
atory talks substantive enough to give
advance assurance that the heads-of-
government meeting would result in
some trustworthy f1rSt-Step agreement
on easing international tension and pro-
noting at least little progress toward
a decent peace Accordingly, Mr.. Dulles
generally pessimistic Judgment is UNDER
standable. AS he sees the situation, the
Kremlin, far from making real con-
cession to the West, seems to be holding
fast to position that would preclude
the likelihood Of any serious or fruitful
egotiation-either at a presummit
the truly important iSsues(like Ger
many's partition) that keep the world
on edge.
In these circumstances, as the Sec
rotary has warned, the United States
and its allies cannot accept the Soviet
proposal. They cannot do so, that Is,
without taking the risk of lending them
selves to potentially dangerous propa-
ganda spectacle spectacle in which
the Kremlin, by substituting fiction for
fact or appearance for reality, would
seek to hoodwink the free world into
letting down its guard. A safe peace
cannot be achieved in that way; it cam
not be achieved as long as Nikita Khru-
shchev and his colleagues balk at the
idea Of serious negotiations.
OF course, only the Soviet rulers
themselves know when, If ever, they will
be willing to cooperate honestly with
the West. Right now, despite their per-
Sistent clamor for a summit meeting,
their attitude on that score seems less
than promising. But tomorrow is an
other day, and the world must keep on
hoping that they will yet modify their
policy in way that will make such d
meeting really serviceable to the cause
of peace and justice.

just yet. It has been ascer-
tanned that q considerable
part-the percentage re-
mains to be determined-of
the increased carbon dioxide

There 1t enters into chemical
combinations which form

There have been specula-
tons that some Of the warm

when the great coal and oil
deposits were laid down, were

Commends Stossen

The recommendation by
Harold Stassen that q con-
ference with Russian dele
gates be scheduled at United
Nations headquarters in New
York City early this summer
would seem to merit the most
serious and favorable atten-
ton.
If our country could pos
sibly work out a better under
standing with Russia, where
by our differences could be
to some extent reconciled
mutual trust could be re-
stored. the holocaust Of q
nuclear war be avoided, thus
two great populations could

full it would be-!
For this stateSmanlike
stand, Mr.. Stassen would seem
to be due the wholehearted

that the planets atmosphere
is being badly contaminated

Crucial School Test


largely rural Virginia county situated
some so miles southwest of Richmond.
But it is place to watch. For Prince
Edward apparently is destined to provide
the first really crucial test of the FEAST
bility of enforcing school Indignation in
the face of united and determined white
resistance.
The Prince Edward case has run its
course through the courts. Some months
ago Federal District Judge Sterling
Hutchinson refused to set a time limit
within which the county must comply
with an earlier order forbidding compul-
sorry segregation. This ruling was APP
pealed to the Fourth Circuit Court and
that tribunal directed Judge Hutchinson
to enter decree ordering the Prince
Edward School Board to make prompt
and reasonable" start toward compliance
with the o-diScrimination order. The
Supreme Court now has refused to re-
view this order, the effect being to sus-
tain the Circuit Court. So the stage is
set, or seems to be set, for head-on
collision between the law and public
thermore. the outcome of this clash in
Prince Edward probably will foreshadow
the results of similar clashes in count
less other communities in the South.
The school population in Prince
Edward is about 81 per cent colored and
46 per cent white. The schools for
colored. according to Judge Hutcheson's
findings, are equal If not superior to
those for white children in terms of cur
riculum and physical equipment. There
is every reason to believe, however, that
both white and colored schools are going
to be shut down. This, in Judge Hutch
eson'S words, would be highly and per-
manently injurious to children Of both
races" The Judge did not say so, but
1t is obvious that the greater injury will
fall on the Negro children.
This is true because the white adults
in the county, numbering about $500,
have banded together against integra-
ton. They have raised money, obtained
teachers and arranged for makeShift
housing for private school system for
their own children. They say they are
prepared to abandon their public school
system rather than integrate, and there
is every indication that they mean it.
No comparable arrangements have been
made by the Negro parents or for the
Negro children.
This is tragic outlook. For Prince
Edward is not ready for school inte-
grafton. Those who are forcing the
issue at this time are making deplor-
able mistake, the penalties for which will
be visited upon the children. This is the
more true in light of the testimony Of
most of the Negro parents named as
plaintiffs in the desegregation suit,
suit brought in their behalf without cost
by lawyers for the NAACP. These Negro
parents told the Thomson committee Of
the Virginia Legislature that they
thought the purpose of the suit was to
obtain better schools for their children
and that they did not know it was
designed to bring about indignation.
Neither side can hope for any VIC
tory in Prince Edward And the losses
In store for both sides are incalculable.
