The peoples of United Nations
want peace, and presumably tha
peoples of USSR and Co. want
peace. But the United States is not
going to enter peace negotiations
as a suppliant Radio Peiping
seems to convey that impression.
It has described the coming of the
UN convoy to Kaesong. under flag
of truce, with the inference im
plied mat we are pegging peace
of the' reds. Not so. We want peace,
and are willing to negotiate with
the enemy to obtain it; but the
USA is making no surrender to the
reds, and is offering no appease
ment. i
a The conditions laid down by
General Ridgway for resumption
of the negotiations arc valid re
quirements. The talks must take
place in neutralized area. That it,
men with arms must remain out
Side the prescribed district.' If the
reds are sot willing to do this at
Kaesona then the conversations
should be shifted to some neutral
The supreme UN commander
also reauires that he be privileged
to select the UN party, including
news reporters and photographers,
and that there be no restrictions
on the . movements of negotiators
to and from the meeting place.
The reds also would have the pnv
liege of bringing in their reporters
and photographers, and the pre-
sumntion is they have been doing
that, t -
In other words the truce talks
must be held on neutral ground
with no showing of military force
Only in such an atmosphere can
the discussions for cease-fire take
nlsMi ivith nrnmlsB of success. The
cease-fire agreement may be very
almnle: shoo tin to stoo and Dris
oners to be exchanged; conference
on terms of permanent settlement
to be remanded to other authority;
and perhaps provision made lor
preventing the build up of military
strength by either side. i
. Drawing a final agreement to
settle the Korean dispute will be
prolonged, if previous conferences
with reds is a sample; but if the
shooting stops that will give a
chance for peace. ' . I
I believe the reds t will accept
Ridgway's conditions, reporters
and all. If they, do not the heavy
shooting I will be resumed
promptly. ' -

. By a vote of 92 to 39, the cham
ber rejected President. Truman's
request for unlimited, authority to
set up new federal -corporations
to: spur defense production or as
sist in control measures.
Once again the republicans took
the lead in blasting away at the
already tattered controls measure.
A few democrats joined them.
8awyer Makes Talk
With its controls program In
jeopardy, j, the administration to
night unleashed another) salvo in
its last-ditch fight to stave off
defeat.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
took to the air to broadcast a
warning that inflation will do the
nation great harm "unless we keep
controls." ;
Sawyer a business-man lawyer.
said in a speech delivered over the
CBS network he would promise
that "as soon as controls can be
abandoned or alleviated, they will
be," but he declared:
"It is childish to pretend that
inflationary pressures are not
upon us. ,

On capitol hill, anti-control
forces rolled up better than a 2-
to-1 margin in rejecting President
Truman's bid for power to set up
new federal agencies by a stroke
of the pen.
Rep. Crawford (R-Mich) told
the house that the requested auth
ority would take away the right of
congress to control the "chican
