SnAKLE9 DANL ILL., s--,.- ..---
Trade With YugosIuvio, Poland

trade agreements should be
concentrated on the benefits
Of cold dollar trading and
that if this economic tool is
diverted to political purposes,
the Nation will not derive
value for value from It's for
eign trade.
The Mills thesis runs coun-
ter to the thinking of Cordell
Hull, the father of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Act, who
maintained throughout his
career that economic warfare
fostered the growth of polit-
ical war and that a people
driven to desperation by
poverty is a constant threat
of chaos and disorder. I'm so
far as we make it easier for
ourselves and everyone else
TO live" Mr.. Hull said, I'VE
diminish the pressure on any
country to seek economic
betterment through war"
Mr.. Mills position gains
political strength from a
militant campaign against
this trade in many parts of
the country. Stores which
sell Polish hams are picketed
and ordinances in at least IL
cities now require expensive
licenses to sell Communist
goods.
This campaign, part Of a
conservative effort to label
the Kennedy administration
soft on communism, has
created a climate in which
many Congressman will need
courage to vote for Commu-
mist trade. even with Yugo-
slavia. This means another
uphill struggle for the Presi-
dent in a difficult legislative
atmosphere, but there are
many who feel that 1t is
worth it. ..

Moscow Talks Value Thought Lessened
BY Peking's Ability to Provoke Conflict

son tried hard to avert it,
and in May, 1914 sent his
personal ambassador, Col. E.
M. House, on a trip to Europe
that lasted several weeks.
The latter had long private
talks with Emperor William
of Germany and Sir Edward
Grey, the Foreign Minister
of Great Britain. But there
was procrastination on both
sides, and the informal
mediation got nowhere. Mr..
House revealed in his
memoirs many years later
what he had written to the
American ambassador at
London, Walter Hines Page,
Just after the war broke out
in August, 1914:
TT is all a bad business,
and just think how near we
came to making such a catas-
trophe impossiblel If Eng
land had moved a little fas-
ter and had let me. go back
to Germany, the thing, per-
haps, could have been done"
But Ambassador Page
wrote in reply:
mo, no, Mono power on
earth could have prevented
it. The German militafism,
which is the crime Of the
last so years, has been work.
ing for this for IS years. 1t is
the logical result of their
spirit and enterprise and doc
trine. It had to come. But,
of course they chose the
wrong time and the wrong
issue. Militarism has no judy
ment. Don't let your con-
science be worried. You did
all that any mortal man
could do. But nobody could
have done anything effec-
tive. We've got to see to it
that this system doesn't
grow UP again-that's ALL"
Scarcely had these memoirs
been published when the
events leading to the out
break of World War II, based
on almost identical factors
were the subject of the same
kind of frantic efforts by
negotiation and even ap.
peasement at such confer
ences as those held before
and after Munich in 1888
But World War II came in
1939-just Is years after the
first one.

Are the present talks at
Moscow on q nucleartest-
ban just the prelude to a long
series of negotiations that
eventually win prove as fruit
less to prevent World War III
as the same kind Of parleys
were before each Of the last
two big wars2
For the realistic fact is
that Red China is capable Of
provoking q world conflict.
! The Picking government is
about to test its first atomic
bomb. Quantity production
may be years away, but 1t
takes only a few bombs to
intimidate neighboring coun-
tries in an attempt to acquire
more territory. China has q
number Of Soviet-trained
scientists of her own, and a
test Of the first bomb is ex-
pected in q few months. So
the tactics Of terror can be-
gin now.
Red China, in breaking
away from Russia, may, of
course, lose some economic
and military support, but this
doesn't prevent her from
threatening countries in
Southeast Asia and even
starting an attack on For
mosa or Korea If 1t suits her
purpose.
The Peking leaders are
bent on a nationalistic course
and on the building of an
empire Of their own to dom
mate Asia. They feel that
nuclear weapons are essen
tial to. the satisfaction Of
their national ambitions. A
nuclear-test agreement in
Moscow that doesn't include
q means of stopping further
aggression by Red China is
not going to prevent q war in
Asia, which could eventually
involve Japan as well as the
United States and lead to a
world war.
Negotiations at a thigh
level" such as are going on ir
Moscow. this week, or ever
summit" talks which are be-
ing limited at already, can
not solve the problem. Mere
conversation at high levels
has proved ineffective In pre-
venting the last two worlC
wars.
World War !, for instance
was preceded by a series o.
conferences. Even the United
States, known then as ar
isolationalist country, took
hand in attempting to pre-
vent q big war. President vii

Thanksgiving as a national hol-

1t was the second spectacular
action staged within "a hours

Of the National Liberation
(FALN).
Wednesday, four heavily.
armed men kidnapped U. s.
Army Col. James K. Chenault,

point outside of his home.
The twin-engined plane, with
IA passengers and three crew.
men, was hijacked shortly af-

in southeastern Venezuela on III
flight to Caracas Maiqueita

Reports from Trinidad said
one woman and five men
armed with revolvers cowed
passengers and crew and forced
pilot John Powers to head for
Port Of Spain.
All aboard were identified as
Venezuelans.
The Foreign Ministry an
nounced it would ask Trinidad
authorities for prompt return Of
the plane, a Convair $40 owned
by the Venezuelan line Avensa.
It was the second time that
the pro-CaStro underground hi
lacked an airplane in the past
two years. A four-engined Aven-
sa DC6 was seized and flown to
the Caribbean island Of Curac-
40, off the Venezuelan coast.

The FALN also has hijacked
an ocean going freighter and
staged other headline grabbing
stunts such as kidnapping world
famed soccer star Alfredo di
Stefano last August, stealing
six French art masterpieces
worth more than $5O0,OO and
forcing US. personnel of the
military mission here to strip
down to their shorts.
The four heavily armed men
who seized Chenault on his door
step Wednesday were presumed
to be members Of the under
ground armed forces Of Nation
al Liberation (FALN), which
attacked the U. S. military mis-
sion building in Caracas June 5.
President Romulo Betancourt
was reported to have given
personal assurances TO u. S.
Ambassador Allan G. Stewart
that all possible measures ara
being taken to obtain Chenault'S
freedom.
Chenault's wife, Ruth, and
their three children, Bess Ann,
20, James K. Jr., is, and Nina
Louisa, II, waited anxiouSly at
home for some word Of his fate.
An anonymous telephone cali
er told an operator at the US.

after the kidnapping Wednesday
that the American officer would
not be harmed.
"We only want him for prop

said.
