Senate is nearing conclusion with completion of examination of witnesses. Senator are gathering up a few loose ends and trying to decide whether a rpport should be attempted. General MacArthur wisely declined an invitation to submit a rebut tal. A second appearance by MacArthur would only have prolonged the inquiry, which already has run seven weeks. What has the inquiry achieved? The answer to that question apparently hinges upon a person's political affiliations. Administration followers declare that President Tru man and the State department have been completely vin dicated. Outside the family circle, however, the Mac Arthur position gains support. The inquiry has shown one positive result. Our Korean polio stiffened immediately in response to public reaction to MacArthur'. recall, .'ossibly as a result of that sterner tulirv. peace proposals have emerged. Russia is seeking truce terms based on anteasrment. The hearings also, have brought out a large amount of information whi'.-h the nsblic should have had many months ago, nut which was withheld for reasons of political expe dience. The inquiry ln has revealed some of the reason ing of the national pobcy makers. Opinions Differ Widely We find wide 'difference of opinions concerning the MacArthur ' Incident. These declarations from political leadership are heavily tinged with party opportunism, dem igoguery and grandstanding. The political propaganda with which the inquiry has been surrounded makei it dif ficult to obtain n objective opinion. It is evident that two opposing ideas are involved in our policies concerning the Far East. One school of thought is that we should be bold, firm end willing to take calculated risk. The other is that we should take a purely defensive position, avoiding all possible risk, doing nothing which might In any way be interpreted as aggression. Insofar as these conflicting opinions appear in policy matters they are healthy. It is always wise to have sharply conflicting opinions. From such conflicts we reach com promises which avoid either extreme. It can be dangerous when one side is overwhelmingly powerful and can take eitrh sct'on as it may desire without opposition. Such to talitarian form always leads to disaster because there is no brake on extremists. The one thing brought out by the MacArthur inquiry that frightens us is the timidity, vacillation and confusion within the State department, and the apparent willingness ti sacrifice hono, prestige and lives for political expediency. Ptoplt Will Decide We believe the American people, as a whole, want no part nf either extreme presented at the Senate inquiry.

I guess mere cornea a time For upwards of two centuries, the British ran the world. All in alL, it aeema to me, they did a fairly good job of it. I rather ima gine the people whose lives they have run (including the Iranians, the Indians, the Egyptians, the Ma layans, and so on) are better off than they would have been if the British had kept their noses out and these people had been run dur ing these two centuries or more by their own local despots. But you can't laugh this off: During these years when the British were running the world, they got themselves cordially hated and now they are paying the pnea. With the British fading out of the picture, we seem to be stuck with the job of running the world. Will we do better job of it than the British have? Will we HOLD the respect of evervbody, while pushing them arourj and telling them what to do? Or will we, too, come to ha hated by everybody? I wonder. Instead of taking money away from them, as the British have done, we're GIVING THEM MONEY. But we seem to he doing it in a snooty, Lady Bountiful, see-whatgenerous-people-weare ort of way. I have a notion that if somebody treated ma that way I'd hate his guts. New Ethics Code Adopted By Assn. Of Oregon Editors GEARHART, Ore. (JPt The Oregon Newspaper Publishers' as sociation will be governed by a new code of ethics. The code was approved here Sat urday at the groups closing busi ness session. It is a condensation of an older code. A committee made up of Marshall N. Dana, formerly of the Oregon Journal: Philip H. Parrish. The Oregnnian; Frank Jenkins, the Klamath Falls Herald and News: Giles French, the Sherman County Journal at Moro, and Gordon A. Sabine, dean of journalism at the University of Oregon, prepared it. The code: "1. We pledge ourselves t o print the truth regardless of conse quences; lo speak factual ac curacies and simplicity, and to be fair. "2. We subscribe to the tenets of good taste; we reserve the right i to decide what ia fit to print, but j the public interest and not the pri- vate interest even that of the newspaper shall be the basis of such decision. 'J. Freedom of the press, guar- j anteed by the constitution, is a I right of the people aa well as of ' newspapers, is an essential part o( the general liberty given to the, people and must, therefore, eon- form always to the interests of the people. "4. The public is entitled to news of public interest whatever in or igin. "5. High competency and thor ough training are essentials for all in the newspaper profession. "6. Advertising must be as truth ful as news and editorials. "7. In the interest of world-wide human freedom we support all ef forts to make the press free throughout the world. "8. We affirm that the printed word, medium of global communi cation, is a means lo the end of freeing the human mind from big otry, hate and intolerance, and for the establishment of better living, international peace, and justice to all. "To the above principles the newspapers of Oregon heartily subscribe as an expression of their duty to society and in the support of the belief that a free and re-' sponsible press is essential to the freedom of mankind."
