The Play in Korea
Korea? It's justhe same old script, same old villain. Only
this time there's a dif feren victim and the stage-setting lis new
r and the Tier, who turned in a poor performance for Czecho
slovakia, gets another chance to make good.
The Moscow announcement that soviet troops will be with
s. drawn from Korea by January 1 upon request of the natives is
: pretty transparent propaganda. It is supposed to demonstrate to
Korea and United Nations that Russia is the champion of free
dom, like she says. And it is supposed to show up the United
States as determined old imperialists, like she says. I
. Probably, nobody was fooled much, though, "because the story
from Moscow explained that northern Korea has had "ample op-
. portunity to create a democratic administration
That is the crux of the plot. Transplanted, it means that Rus
sian troops are no longer needed in northern Korea because com-
munists are firmly established in a puppet government: which
feels strong enough to take over all Korea without active; aid of
Russia soldiers. It is going to be non-aggression" as in Poland,
Czechoslovakia, and elsewhere. ' I
The stage, you see, is all set. The only properties that pre
vent the iron curtain from ringing down are American troops in
southern Korea. Syngman Rhee, head of the UN-approved gov
ernment of southern Korea, has feared a situation like this for
sometime. That's why he asked Americans to stick around un
til he's prepared to resist the advances of the villain.
That made the U. S. stand-in for United Nations, and since
, last July we have quietly built a native army known as the Ko
rean constabulary. These south Koreans are uniformed troops,
trained by Americans and equipped with rebuilt American Ga
rand rifles. They expect' to inherit whatever military equipment
(mortars, artillery, trucks) the U, S. army may leave behind.
The United States would gladly turn over its role of guardian
of Korea's independence to the United Nations. But it is only
good politics, and humane, to play the part until Rhee feels
strong enough to. hold his own or until United Nations Hs pre
pared to protect the life of a country at whose birth it officiated.
Abandoning Korea now would probably just precipitate a
civil war . . . nothing could please Russia more, for its troops could
remain close to Korean borders.
Yeats Gaelic Bard
The bardic order of Ireland, singers of the sagas and lays of
ancient Gaelic literature, "had gone down in the wars of the 17th
century, and poetry had found shelter amid the turf smoke of
the cabins
And that is where William Butler Yeats rediscovered it and
gave the world anew the epic tales and heroic poetry composed
by the guilds of early storytellers. He mined the rich fields of
Irish folk literature, cut and polished the rough stones and
brought out such gems as "Catbleen Ni Houlihan" and "The
Countess Cathleen."
Yeats, celebrated as the uncrowned poet laureate of Ireland,
was the disputed contemporary leader of the Irish literary re
vival which regarded poetry and drama as primarily fine art,
rather than political propaganda as had earlier writers, Yeats
was a true son of firm he even served as senator when the
Irish Free State was established in 1922 but his efforts to re
vive appreciation of the cultural heritage of his race showed a
higher patriotism than that of his more rabid literary predeces
ors.
Thus it is fitting that his body should now be returned to his
native sod. Yeats died January, 1939, in France at the age of 74
after he had written: "The years, like great black oxen tread
the world, and God the herdsman goads them on behind, and I
am broken by their passing feet." f
And: "I have believed the best of every man, and find that
to believe it is enough to make a bad man show him at his best,
or even a good man swing his lantern higher. f
Last week William Butler Yeats was reburied at Drumclif f,
in Sligo, where he spent his childhood and where once he said:
"Come, heart, where hUl is heaped upon hill: I
. For there the mystical brotherhood
Of sun and moon and hollow and wood
And river and stream work out their tcill."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 The
Berlin crisis nas naa at least one
useful result. It has cast consider
able I light on the Kremlin's future
plans tor the organization of the
new ! Soviet empire. It is now an
even bet that what is ahead! per
haps in a few months, perhaps
after; a' year or so is the forcible
bodily incorporation of Russia's
eastern Europeon sattellites in a
greater Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics.
Throughout the Berlin nego
tiations, the Kremlin has sought
to j gain two ob

tiye number one

this bbjectice has
been Soviet par-. "Joseph Alaop
tidpation in con- r r
trol of the Ruhr.
Objective number two, how
everl has beenrsimply to expel the
from Berlin. And
the real Soviet
effort has not
been concentrat
ed on the Ruhr
or even on up
setting the ar

effort has been
to gain this sec
ond objective of
total, exclusive
control of Berlin.
Af Is indicated by the report of I
the odds given above, expert opin
ion its still about evenly divided.
But a constantly growing faction
holds mat the struggle to drive us
from Berlin must be linked to the
Kremlin's over-all plans for the
eastern European satellites.
If this faction reasons correctly,
the Soviets began some months
ago to batten down the hatches, so
to! speak, throughout their Euro
pean conquests. ( 1 ne atriicuity
with Marshal Tito is of course an
obvious incident in this process.)

Newbry Defends Vote on Sale

month.

The Nizam Capitulates
Before the. machinery of United Nations could get rolling the
Nizam of Hyderabad capitulated to invading troops front India,
thus ending the life of his independent principality. India was
bit rough to wipe out Hyderabad by force; but that was better
than having UN prop up this political and geographic anachron
ism under the rule of preventing war. The continuance of this
suzerainty in the very heart of India was quotesque, particularly
since the vast majority of its people were Hindus and sympath
etic with the new state of India.
Once there were 65 princely entities in India. They were heir
looms kept alive by Great Britain on the ancient rule of "divide
and conquer.! They were bossed by Britain in external relations
and disturbed ' very little in their internal affairs. The reigning
maharajah or nizam was a survival from the orient's past, with
all the trappings of an oriental throne elephants and jewels
and gold arid wives (if Moslem). From his howdah the ruler
looked down on a squalid mass of humanity, improverished, dis
eased, ridden with religion. It was time to put an end to such
costly nonesense.
The Indian government at New Delhi, headed by Premier
Nehru, is making a real effort to establish itself securely, and to
solve some of India's problems. Consolidation of Hyderbad with
India leaves only one state. Kashmir, whose political connection
is uncertain. At present it is attached to India, but if a plesescite
Is held its Moslem majority may swing it to Pakistan. A UN com
mittee has been at work trying to effect a peaceful settlement.
When the Kashmir allegiance is determined then both Pakistan
and India can concentrate on improvement of internal conditions.
India still has to decide whether to remain within the British
commonwealth of nations, but that issue is not so critical as the
internal organization of government and economy in each of the
new, though old, countries.
Down at Ukiah, Cal. six men were indicted on charges of
bribery and conspiracy in connection with the operation of slot
machines. In the net is a one-time special agent of the attorney
general's office. While the attorney general himself is not ac
cused, a lot of scandal has involved some of his appointees. The
loot from slot machines is so large that it invites bribery Of pub
lic officers. In California effort is being made to come to grips
.with the men behind the slot machine racket. We need tlie same
enterprise up here. Nothing has been done to crack down on the
bandits since Governor Snell directed the attoney general to put
spurs on enforcement. More spurs are needed.

Historic Breyman Buildings
To Get Complete Remodeling
Contract for remodeling and ; modernization of the two Breyman
buildings at the southeast corner of Court and Commercial streets
was awarded Monday afternoon , to Erwin E. Batterman of Salem,
Work on the project, estimated at $40,000 or more, is planned to
