Mr.. KS Visit

the Soviet Premier is now
apparently committed to al
lowing free elections in all
captive nations. He stated in
the magazine Foreign AZ
fairs that peaceful coexist-
ence presupposes an "obliga-
ton on the part Of all states
to desist from violating each
others territorial integrity
and sovereignty in any form
and under any pretext what
soever." That is clear enough.
The congressional resolution
Of July, 1859. and the presi-
dental proclamation regard
ing captive nations had not
able effect, although the So
Wet Premier will probably
deny that and say that, no
indeed. back in early July 1858
he said. I'VE are delighted
when the colonial nations
rise up and cast of their
chains"
So. he will undoubtedly be
delighted with House Joint
Resolution 400 which states
a resolve that "the people Of
the captive nations should
have an opportunity to freely
express their viii in choosing
their own philosophy Of gov
eminent and they should also
have the freedom to elect
those who will govern their
respective countries"
Can we hope then that
during or after the Eisen-
hower-Khrushchev CONVERSE
tons exact dates will be set
for plebiscites in the captive
nations?

Twenty years ago on Sep
TENDER II. Russia, as Hitler's
accomplish. stabbed Poland
in the back, thus precipitat-
ing a worldwide conflagra-
ton. costing millions Of lives
and with 1t Q chain Of TRACE
dies that Just keeps on
haunting the world.
1t is ironical that Khru-
shchev's visit to this country
should be timed to coincide
with this sad anniversary.
In my capacity as presi-
dent Of the Polish American
Congress, representing 7,000,-
900 Americans Of Polish de-
scent. I have conferred with
President Eisenhower on sew
eral occasions. While I have
the greatest admiration for
our Presidents dedication to
peace. I would be derelict in
my duty II I did not voice
disapproval Of Khrushchev's
visit to the United States.
Although our Government
will extend Khrushchev the
courtesies demanded by pro-
tocol. we are told that we
also owe him a courteous re-
ception. We owe him nothing.
We are under no obligation
to greet anyone dedicated to
our destruction.
Charles ROzmarek,
President. Polish American
Congress.
The discussions about how
we should act when Mr..
Khrushchev visits the United
States reminds me Of the re-
ception accorded President
Lincoln when he visited Rich
mond q few days after it fell
to the Union Army.
The white people Of Rich
mond remained in their
homes with blinds drawn.

There must be a reason
for Communist China,s ag-
gression in Tibet and Laos
and provocations along the
Indian border at this par
ticular time, and it makes
one wonder If 1t Is done with
q purpose to embarrass Mr..
Khrushchev on the eve of his
visit to the United States.
Perhaps the Communist
Chinese would prefer that
Khrushchev visit Red China
before embarking for the
United States of America,
thereby giving them some
face" The press stated that
Mr.. Khrushchev may visit
Peiping after his American
trip. but to the Red, Chinese
leaders this places them in a
secondary position
When Mr.. Khrushchev ar
rives here he will no doubt
be asked to explain the pres
ent aggression in the Far
East. Under the circum-
stances it is not improbable
that Mr.. Khrushchev may
have to visit Red China
before his United States
trip or figure out some other
