international CITY

Now that the Board of
zoning Adjustment has re-
jected the application Of the
Embassy of Panama to con-
Struct a chancery office
building on Woodland drive,
it is time to congratulate
both the board for it's cou-
rageous and farSighted de-
ciSion and The Star for its
news coverage which has
done so much to direct pub
lie attention to what it so
aptly described as the Chan
Gerry explosion.
However, and more impor-
family, it is time to take
stock of the future because
we can be certain that, I'M
der existing circumstances,
similar situations will con-
Stantly arise in ever-increas-
ing magnitude with all of
the unfortunate consequences
which inevitably follow.
It seems to me that there
is no good solution to the
problem so long as chan
ceries are sought to be To-
Gated in residential neigh
borhoods. The Federal Gov
eminent, through the State
Department. has made it
quite clear that it recognizes
an obligation to assist for
eign governments in finding
suitable chancery locations.
I believe that the Federal
Government could most eff
fectively discharge this re-
sponsibility in the best in
terests of all concerned by
developing a large site close
to downtown Washington as
a sort of International City.
Such a project could be &C
complished under urban re-
development authority and
would make a magnificent

In view of the good old
Soviet Unions recent an
nouncement that another
Bolshevik move has been
made for peace and friend
ship, this time disguised as
the Soviet resumption Of nu-
clear testing and the So
cialistic construction of 100
megaton bombs, I think it
only fitting and proper that
the Soviet Union give names
to each one Of these new con-
sumner items for Soviet and
other societies. I have no
idea as to how many new
monsters the BolShevikS
will struggle reSolutely to
build. but I wish to submit
the following list from which
names for these jewels of
Communist morality can be
selected: Peace and Friend
ship, Peaceful Coexistence,
Belgrade Conference, Cyrus
Eaton, Linus Pauling, Build
ing of Communism, Vostok
III, Hypocrisy. Deceit. Black
mail, Geneva, Workers Para
disc, Anti-Colonialism, Anti
Imperialism, PugwaSh Confer
ence. Hogwash Conference,
HorSemeat, General and
Complete Disarmament, New
Party Program, feminist
Firmness and last, but not
least, Committee for a Sane
Nuclear Policy.
The most interesting de-
velopment of all, however, is
that the mighty Soviet Union
which has lost no oppor-
tunity to boast of its power
to wipe out anyone at any
place at any time, now finds
it necessary to resume nu-
clear testing and to build
100-megaton bombs. One can
well wonder why regular So
Wet power, such as was used
in Hungary or is used almost
daily by Khrushchev to
threaten various countries
and peoples, is not murder
Gus enough to carry out the
goals of Russian imperial
grandeur as seen by that
crew of freedom fighters in
the Kremlin.
The new party program
states that the party SOL
EMMY proclaims that the
present generation of Soviet
people shall live under COM
munism. I think this will
have to be revised in view
of Khrushchev's latest peace
loving decision. The issue is
no longer what the present
generation of Soviet people
shall live under, but whether
the present generation of So
Wet people shall live!

barrassed on May Day this

the German tiger. Germans
despise Russians. Russia
fears Germany. The German
mentality is a scientific one.
Russia has borrowed the Ger
man concept of attaining
world supremacy through
science by concentrating on
science in it's schools and uni
versities. Russia knows what
to expect of a united, indie
pendent Germany. It is in
credible that the West
chooses not to realize that
mortal danger.
Whoever gets Germany
will acquire a Pandora's box
of troubles. The West can
never for long control the
war lords of a united Ger
many. Russia probably hopes
to control Germany through
-fisted Communistic-re-
preSsive methods, such as it
has done with its other sat-
telites. The problem being a
mutual one, are there not
enough brains in the Eastern
and Western or neutral lead
erships to iron out the prob
lens even if it takes genera
tons? War is no answer. It's
horror and destruction have
never solved problems. Wars
are won at the peace con-
ference. Why must we have
war before a peace confer
ence? Germany lost World
War II on the battlefield but
West Germany sprouts the
fruits of victory. East Ger
many alone bears the scars
of defeat and its attendant
problems. That is the fester-
ing sore in the communistic
armor that drives the Krem-
lin to distraction.

contribution to the develop
ment of this city as a world
center. Many suitable areas
exist such as in the vicinity
of Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets along New
York avenue. An otherwise
blighted area could be con-
verted into an attractive and
thriving center for foreign
mission offices and related
cultural and information ex-
change services.
With off-street parking ia
cilities and restricted traffic,
with restaurants and espla-
nadeS, with facilities for
meetings and lectures as we'll
as national exhibits, such an
area would not only provide
great advantages to the for
eign nations concerned,
would be a source Of pride
rather than irritation to the
city as a whole, but would
also provide a unique educa-
tional attraction for the
many visitors to Washington
who, at the present time, can
have but little awareness of
this most important aspect
Of their Nations Capital. A
very few foreign missions
presently have large office
structures such as that Of
the British Embassy, which
they doubtless would be
loath to abandon. On the
other hand, I suspect that
the vast majority of foreign
missions, now scattered in
inconvenient and often in
adequate locations, would
welcome participation in
such a development.

THE PASSING SCENE
Red China Lobbies for u. N. Seat
By RALPH McGHLL

Only a moment will be
needed to show the relevancy
between the Red China visit
of Brazil'S leftiSt Vice PreSi-
dent Joao Goulart and a
mention Of the Hundred
Years War.
We certainly are well into
the second decade, if not the
fourth or fifth, of a hundred
years cold war of our own.
The war so designated in the
history books began in 1887
and ended in 1853. almost 40
years before Columbus sailed
to discover the new world.
It lasted through the reignS
of five English and five
French kings. The war was
triggered by Edward MS
claim to the French throne.
But it really came about
because of the power strug-
gle between the two coun-
tries. It had been in the
making years before Edward
made his bid - in the full
knowledge it meant war.
Vice President Goulart was
in Peiping at the invitation
Of the Mao government. Just
ahead of him the red carpet
had been rolled out for
Ghana's Nkrumah. Before
him there had been visitors
from Ethiopia.
Red Carpet Out
For months there has been
an unconcealed, steady
stream of Asian, African and
Latin American visitors to
Peiping. Nor is there any
secret about why they have
been invited. The Peiping
government openly, conf
IDENTIFY, is lobbying for
enough votes to win the
United Nations seat now held
by the Chang Kai-Shek re-
gime on Formosa.
They have made enough
progress to cause intelligence
sources to conclude that they
may not merely gain the
U. N. seat, but have a chance
to replace the Nationalist
Chinese completely.
The argument Peiping has
been using is that there is
but one China-that which
represents the $50 million
Chinese. They point out that
the U. N. seat originally was
voted the government OF
China when it was on the
Northumberland not after ii
was defeated and the refu-
gees driven to Formosa. This
is, intelligence reports indi-
cate, having some weight
with the visitors who have
been to Peiping this past
summer.
Each visitor, or group of
them, has left, issuing highly
favorable statements. Brazil'S
now controversial presiden-
tial successor was one of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-09-07

those who joined in the ac-
claim.
In the welcome to the
then Vice President Goulart,
the Peiping representative
said. 1--WE are glad to note
that political figures in the
Latin American countries
have come to understand
more and more clearly this
firm and unShakable stand
of the Chinese people and
government"
The Formosan problem is
a highly emotional one for
many Americans. We are,
unhappily, in a predicament
where Chang Kai-Shek, and
not our own government, can
dictate what our China pol
icy must be. Whatever one
may think Of Chang, it Is
not good to have him pos
seSSed of this much author
ity.
For almost a decade now
this country annually has
been able to offer a q. N.
resolution deferring action
on a resolution to permit de-
bate, not on admission but
on the subject. A year ago
the resolution carried by q
margin of four votes. Some
who voted with us at that
time privately notified us
they could not do so again.
They felt they could no long
er refuse discussion. How
they will vote on the actual
issue of Red China's admiS-
sion as a replacement for
Nationalist China in the
General Assembly is quite
another matter.
Strategy Of West
Our friends have urged
that since the usual resolu-
ton deferring debate will be
defeated, we not subject our
selves to such a damaging
defeat. We will not, there
fore, offer it when the issue
of talk (not admission) is
raised this fall. 1t is believed
the Western nations may be
able to prevent the next step
- a vote on admission. But,
certainly the pros and cons
of this most emotional, often
hysterical, issue will be heard
on the floor.
Berlin also may reach the
U. N. 1t Will be an exciting
autumn.
This country cannot afford
to do otherwise than act
with maturity. We cannot
impose our single will on
the U.N. 1t would be folly
to listen to fools and quit
the U. m. thereby isolating
ourselves from all the world
and bringing down upon our
head an almost universal in
dictment. We must have the
will, and the skill, to use
diplomatic tools.

Once Burnt

To put it mildly, the worlds So
called uncommitted, nonaligned and
neutralist leaderS-nearly all from Asia
and Africa-have not covered them
selves with glory or shown admirable
moral and intellectual objectivity, at
their five-day meeting in Belgrade,
YugoSlavia.
Thus, in the wordy communicate
summing up their deliberations, they
have had lot of oversimplified and
sharply critical things to say against
Western "colonialiSm." They have been
Sweepingly and inaccurately critical, for
example, of PortugaPS role in Angola,
and of French policies in Algeria and
TuniSia. And they have even gone so
far as to declare that the maintenance
OF our American naval base at Guam
tanamo affects the sovereignty and
integrity of Cuba"-the beachhead of
communism in the Americas. At the
same time, however, they have said not
word about the truly oppressive i'm
perialiSm of the brutal and brutalizing
Sino-Soviet bloc, which has committed
genocide in Tibet and made prisoners
of nearly a dozen independent
lands in Europe
Similarly, these leaders, who are so
wont to lecture our country and it's
allies with lofty, SuperciliouS and often
noiSily angry words, have been less than
vigorous in their reaction to the Krem-
Inns sudden resumption of atmospheric
nuclear tests. Yet we can be sure that
they would have raised a tremendous
condemnatory uproar If the United
States had been the first to do such a
thing. Possibly their soft impeachment
OF the Soviets in this matter, as in so
many other matters, indicates that they
are fearful of speaking out forthrightly
against Red totalitarianiSm, whereas
they make a game of sorts out of
lambaSting the completely tolerant
West-particularly the hail-fellow-well-
met United States, which is certainly
not ungenerous in the amount of eco
nomic aid it extends to them.
All this makes one wonder about
the moral balance and sincerity of
Yugoslav Marshal Tito'S letters to the
American and Soviet Ambassadors in
Belgrade. These letters have been
signed by the whole company of the
"neutraliSt" conferees who now shout
that the world is on the brink of nuclear
war and that President Kennedy and
Premier Khrushchev should Immediately
get together at the summit" to avert
a global catastrophe. Well, these are
pretty grim and portentous views, and
they are being conveyed personally to
the Soviet leader by midas Prime
Minister Nehru, and President Sukarno
Of 1ndonesia is scheduled to visit here
next week to let Mr.. Kennedy know
how terribly anxious the "nonaIigned"
leaders are that such a meeting be held
to settle everything.
In many respects, the 'neutraliSts"
thus seem to be engaged in a kind of
stampeding operation, but there is
reason for confidence that our country
will not be rushed into anything foolish
After all, unless or until the thing is
we'll prepared for in advance, and gives
good promise of success, the President
should hold himself aloof, and I'M
doubtedly will, from the kind of sum-
mitry that has proved so useless, and
even dangerous, in the past. Once burnt,
twice shy. Or so it ought to be.

boys, trying to tear the towns apart I'M
til finally overpowered and dispersed,
or arrested, by the police.
We don't want to seem stuffy, for
fun is fun. But hoodlums also are hood
lumS, and this generation seems to be
spawning far too many of them.
