The meeting of the premiers of five small nations in the Far East with the unpronounceable names has adjourned with, an invitation to 25 other nations to attend a new world peace conference this coming April. . This conference, it is explained, will work for "world peace economic and social development of Africa and Asia, and tackle such special problems as colonialism, racialism and national sovereignty." The No. 1 purpose of the gathering will be to pre vent war, particularly another world war. IT IS easy to laugh this off as just another futile gesture. But we are inclined to think this so-called "Colombo Venture" is not only of considerable sig nificance, but MAY lead to something important and worth while. In the first place it shows how the nature of peace has changed. It is no longer only a concern between the major powers, and particularly two of them, Rus sia and the United States, but a concern of the entire' globe including the Eskimos! , POR. with super-sonic airplanes and guided-missiles, not to overlook the release of deadly germs, any major war-would affect every country, directly or in directly, and as a result and as this Colombo meet ing shows the desire for world peace all over the world is stronger than it ever has been before. And world opinion, like public opinion, has great power. The plain truth is no one no people at least wants war. These Far Eastern nations don't want it. And where there is such universal demand and any organization to implement it there should be some constructive results. - IN this connection it is interesting to note that the .distinguished British historian Arnold Toynbee, who has been lecturing in this country and accused by ... . . . ii i . i some, ot being just anotner propnet oi aoom ana gloom" places his faith in the avoidance of another Wnrld War lnrcrelv on the necroles of the Far East and their devotion to peace as ligion. We quote : . .. - " "I hope we are going to allow the East Indians to in fluence us in favor of the belief that God is not an exclu sive and jealous God. I use God in the old-fashioned sense we might express it in other ways I am talking of the spiritual verity behind the phenomenon. That picture of God is the picture that St. Paul put before the very proud and exclusive Athenians in a world that at that time was liv ing .under a Roman peace. St. Paul said: "He giveth to all life and breath, and all things, and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth." AND here is Historian "This is a timely message by St. Paul for the American people and the Russian people and all. the other peoples in our world today." Neither the Soviet Union and her allies nor the United States and her allies I am afraid can afford to disarm one-sidedly, and to disarm bilaterally by agreement is something that requires a confidence in one another which unhappily neither party feels or is going to fee- for a very long time. So we have to work toward ac quiring this mutual confidence but it is a distant goal, we can't expect to get there quickly So we have to have the patience and the courage to stand the strain of living side by side in a shrinking world, horribly .armed against one another . "Now our official creeds may answer this effort in the negative but if they do I rather take comfort in the fact that in the world today, Moslems and Christians are living side by side though their creeds I suppose still declare this to be immoral and impossible. We are no longer waging wars of religions against each other, so as a historian I take comfort from this. I think the chances are that the Communist and non-Communist factions of the human race ' are going to shake down together in something the same way. Can't we lsarn it imaginatively by seeing the dis-, asters of the past and realize the incredibly greater dis asters that these new weapons would bring upon us, if they were used?" THAT is the historian's viewpoint, and a very skep- tical and realistic historian of the highest stand ing to boot. What the viewpoint of the international gather ing called for next April may be no one now knows. But as stated above, this department has a hunch that it will accomplish more than most of the experts now believe, and we refer to those "experts" in Washing ton particularly, who claim that "coexistence" with Russia on anything but a war basis is both criminal and impossible! R.W.R. How About Viet Minh? A rather gloomy peace picture in the Far East has been given recently by Joseph Alsop in the Alsop Brothers column, a regular feature in this paper. He has spent several days in Indochina and Viet Minh and has expressed a fear that eventually that entire country will go communist. '- By the terms of the original treaty, south Viet Nam was to be anti-communist and independent of the north, with French and American aid to sustain this division. But Alsop sees little if any hope of this be ing accomplished. He stresses especially the high morale of the pro-Red Viet Namese, what they have accomplished under adverse conditions, and what they hope to accomplish from now on. - The parting of Dr. Vinh to Alsop was: "It will not be long before all Viet Nam is ours," and Alsop's conclusion is "he is alas probably right." So what? If this happens it will be another triumph, of communism and another defeat for the Democratic West., . ' , . - Will SenatoiKnowland ask for another blockade, or will this reverse be accepted by the administration as the only alternative to war, and war must be avoid ed at any cost? R.W.R. . ' -r" - Thuriday, December 30, 1954 a corner-stone of their re Toynbee's conclusion, Matter of Fact IN A DOOMED CITY . Haiphong, Indochina A year ago, this city was a bustling port, sustaining the crucial struggle to hold back the Com munist advance in Asia. Today, Haiphong still bustles to ship out the goods that must not and the people who do not wish to fall into Com munist hands. The strug gle against the I n d o chi nese C o m m u nists has been lost, but in Saigon the reality of defeat is masked, per haps because the smell ' of Joseph Alsop corruption is so strong there. In Haiphong's brisker northern auy it is different. Under the Geneva terms, Haiphong will end its control in a few months. They face facts in ' Haiphong, which might be a good idea in Wash ington, too. The chief fact they face in Haiphong is the rapid, ominous growth of the crude military power of the Communist Viet Minh since the signature of the accord at Geneva. The intelli gence tells the tale. After Dien Bien Phu, Vo Nguyen Giap, com prised five tough infantry di visions and elements of an artil lery division. A single Viet Minh artillery regiment did the cruel work that decided the fight. at Dien Bien Phu. Besides these regulars, how ever, Gen. Giap also commanded great numbers of the so-called regional regiments, provincial battalions and districts compan ies. These were lightly armed but regularly trained units as signed to operate in the guerilla manner behind the French lines. In the whble of Indochina, the numerical strength of these spec ialized units, halfway between regulars and guerillas, probably equalled more than twenty ad ditional divisions. Some of these troops formerly stationed in the South al though by no means all are now being transported to the Viet Minh northern' stronghold in the Tonkin delta. Locally, in any case, Gen. Giap has vast re serves of trained military man power to draw upon. By FRANK JENKINS As these words are written. the. eyes of .the world the slave world and the free world alike are on' France. This question is in every mind: What will the French, do? "TiRANCE'S troubles now, as A often in the nast arise out of irresponsible government. The French (who are among the most lovable people . in the world) have an unbelievable talent for bad government. ' After havine endured for gen erations the cruelties, the heart lessness and the extravagance of their absolute monarchs, the time came when they could take it no longer and thev stormed the old Bastille, which they had come to look upon as the sign and the symbol of everything they hated. They TOOK THE BASTILLE. They took nower into their own hands where it belonged. "RUT, having taken supreme power into their own toil hardened hands, all they could think of was to cut off heads. Under the Directory com posed of extreme radicals they set up the guillotine in the street, and heads rolled like bowling balls in an alley. That went on for several years. The time was known as the Terror. From the beginning to the end of the Terror, some 4,000 people were condemned and ex ecuted. rpHEN Out of the Terror THERE CAME NAPOLEON. AND- : , After Napoleon had strut ted his little hour on the world stage, whitening the fields of half of Europe with the bones of France's sons and enriching the soil with their blood, and had finally been stopped. All the French could think of in the way ' of government was to PUT ANOTHER BOUR BON KING BACK ON THE THRONE. CO : p You see You never can tell what the French will do when it comes to government. TF you're lonely and out of sorts and don't know what to do with- yourself in a French vil lage, the warm-hearted and lovable French wiU take you in and make you feel at home and cared for. .x If you're cold and hungry in a French village, they'U take you in and warm you and feed you and take joy in the doing of it. "PUT when it comes to provid ing good government, respon sible government, for them selves .. . . -Well, that's "another story. On that point, they're un predictable. - . (Ml in the Day's News b joscph Aiso? IVHAT is happening is typified " by the . experience in the area of the Viet Minh regional command on the left, bank of the Red river. This was once an underground command, with one regional regiment, four pro vincial - battalions and some scores of district companies as signed to harass the French in the region. Since Geneva, the regiment has suddenly become a division, .. and each of the region's provincial ; battalions has spawned another battalion. By such means as these, Gen. Giap has already increased his regular force from five infantry divisions plus elements of an ar tillery division to seven regular divisions and three artillery di visions. Beneath this upper layer of regular, fully modern divi sions, moreover, there is the big layer of troops not yet regularly equipped, typified by the eight provincial battalions in the region above mentioned. Artillery of all kinds,- ammu nition, mechanized transport and other material of modern war is pouring in across the Chinese border, in flat defiance of the ueneva accord, to support a con tinuing Viet Minh military buildup. The tranfer of forces. from the lower layer or semi- regulars to -the upper layer or regular divisions, must therefore be expected to continue. Eigh teen months from now. when a national election is supposed to decide the fate of all Indochina, Gen. Giap should have at least 15 regular divisions at his dis posal, with large additional semi-regular forces in the north, and most powerful guerilla sup port in crucial South Viet Nam. The non-Communist Vietnam ese army in the South is already badly demoralized. No conceiv able effort of training and disci pline can. make it the equal of the force at Gen. Giap's disposal. The French expeditionary force will certainly not fight to defend South Viet Nam, for men do not lightly take up arms again when they have laid them down. It is not American policy to fight for South Viet Nam either. The peaceable, self-deluding noises from Washington in dicate that plainly enough. But it very definitely is the Viet Minh policy to fight for South Viet Nam if necesary. ' OUCH are the ugly factors in the military equation. On the one side is a powerful and grow ing rforce, ready to fight if need be. On the other side there is approximately nothing. The mil itary equationfurthermore, di rectly affects the political equa tion. Already Viet Minh agents are approaching important mili tary, and political personalities in the South to seek whether they would like to make their deals now. Before long the same sell-outs will probably be taking place that marked the last phase of the loss of China. If the sell-outs do not ha earlier, they will certainly hap pen wnen ana ix the Chinese Communists are amiahlv npr. mitted to take trie islands' nn tho Formosa approaches. America is the one hope here, and if Amer ica stands aside while the Com munists score another triumph, even inose Vietnamese who have firmly chosen freedom X7ll1 XJYVn der whether it is not time to climb aboard the Communist bandwagon. In short all the signs indicate tne imminence of another shat tering . Communist victory in lndo-Ghma. Only a: miracle, wmcn no one is making a serious effort to produce, can now 6ave southern Indo-China and Laos from the fate of Hanoi and Haip hong. This is the kind of thing that makes one rather nostaitxir. for the old "containment" policy, which our present leadership used to denounce as insuffic iently dynamic.

McCANtf United Press Foreign Analyst High drama " surrdunds the meeting, between Generalissimo Francisco Franco and Don Juan, "pretender to the; Spanish throne. Franco and Juan, met' on a heavily guarded es tate in west ern Spain to discuss the fu ture educa tion of Juan's 17 - year - old son, Juan Car- Cbarles McCann lOS. Out of the meeting could come an agreement by which the boy, some day, would become king of Spain and put the ancient Bourbon dynasty back in the narrowing circle of European manarchs. That would be a testimonal both to the durability, of the Bourbon line and of the hold vhich the idea of monarchism still has on millions of people in Europe. The Bourbon line was started in the little town of Bourbon a'Arhambault in central France a thousand years ago. . Bourbons became kings of France, of Spain, of Naples, and ruling dukes of other European territories. Helped Shape History 1 or centuries the . Bourbons helped shape European history. But the last of the Bourbon kings lost out when, in 1931, Alfonso XIII of Spain, father of Don Juan, was ousted. Spain became a republic. The republic ended in 1939 as the result of Franco's victory in the civil war. . In 1947, Franco sponsored a A Nichol's Worth of . . . ment On By HARMAN United Presi Washington (U.R) The mod ern patent lawyers confuse us with such stuff as "a device for scaring b f x mice."

Harman Nichols The o 1 d timers got down to the business at hand when they went before the board at the Fatent Office. If a spade looked like a spade, it was called a spade and not a device for digging. And that brings us to the year 1898, when one William "Ed Japan Boat Rescues American Freighter Tokyo (U.R) A Japanese patrol boat escorted the 10-000-ton American freighter Oceanic to a port in Northern Japan to day after : the freighter de veloped a "very., bad crack" on her portside near the Soviet-held Kuriles yesterday. : The Japanese Coast Guard said the patrol boat Daito had reached the freighter Oceanic today, approximately 270 miles. East-Northeast of Nemuro, .on the western tip of Hokkaido, Japan's northern-most island. " "The Daito is escorting the Oceanic to Hakodate and the two vessels are expected to reach that port sometime to morrow," a coast guard spokes man said. ' , The liberty-type vessel had radioed for' patrol escort at yes terday afternoon. She was - en route to Seattle from Japan in ballast. . ' Texas Catholic Priest ivorcee Corpus Christ!, Tex. U.PJ A popular, 29-year-old Catholic priest revealed yesterday he had severed his connections with the Church and married a young divorcee. ' - , ; Father Norman Stuber, whose radio " broadcasts have been popular in South Texas, said he and Mrs. Dorothy- Rogers, 29, control operator for radio sta tion ' KRIS in Corpus Christi, were married. The divorcee, who has two small children, came to Corpus Christi ' from , San Antonio in 1946. r ; - . - - Stuber, assistant priest at the Corpus Christi Cathedral, had , a Catholic radio inspirational pro gram called "One .

Don Juan Future Talks on law , of succession by . which Spain was to become a ' mon archy, with a regency council and with himself : as head of state. It was provided that in the event of Franco's death or incapacitation, the regency council should select a king or regent, subject to parliamentary approval. - Nominally, Don Juan as Al fonso's heir would have been in line for the throne. But Franco and Juan did not get along too well, and Franco has favored Juan Carlos as his successor. Lived in Exile . Juan. Carlos was living with his father in exile in Portugal. In 1948, Franco and Don Juan met on Franco's yacht off the Spanish coast to discuss the boy's education. As the result Juan Carlos went to Spain to study. He graduated from high school in Madrid last summer. Recently Franco and Don Juan started negotiations on the boy's future education. When the two met Wednesday it was the first time in 23 years since his father was overthrown that Don Juan had. set foot on Span ish soil. It . is indicated . that, at this meeting. Franco and Don Juan may reach an agreement on Juan Carlos's future status, as well as his education. ' It would be interesting if Spain one day became a mon archy again. Some of the most stable countries, and the most prosperous ones,, in Europe are stUl monarchies. There are stUl people who believe that consti tutional monarchy might help some of the turbulent European countries which are now repub lies.

NICHOLS Fcstui Writer Smith of Baltimore had a notion for an apparatus for dipping, measuring, 'and transferring molten glass from tanks to molds. There is no record of how much. Mr. Smith made on his idea, but at least he got down to the point. Spoke His Piece - Smith had himself a machine that was about to do the labor of mere man. And in a few well chosen words he said what he wanted to say. It all had to .do with a new method of making jars and bot tles by the process of blowing glass. Something, older, for sure, than 1898. ' Smith planned to use a pair of dippers or ladies . . . and cut off from the moulten glass in the tank, or pot, an exact amount of glass (like a jug) , and drop it into a glass mold located to receive it. Simple as that. But the interesting part of the description comes m -the word ing of the patent which was fin ally accepted. The man from Baltimore thought he was inventing a me chanical man. And he said just about that. Said he: .. "The advantages of my inven tion over the previous state of the art are that it is an iron man. He gathers glass always in exactly the same quantity re quired, with no guesswork . . The Perfect Workman And the inventor worked up to a full- head of steam in his prose. He said that his me chanical glass blower would leave no waste behind him. Further, this . Smith contend ed, his mechanical man "is a man with four . arms, ' eight hands, no body and no head, eats nothing, doesn't get sick or drunk, doesn't swear at his fellow . workmen, doesn't grum ble about capital, doesn't go on strikes,1 never tires, works . day or night,: and does his work quietly and with a regularity." There are drawings in the old patent, showing a man not eat ing anything and not griping and working all kinds of hours without going on strike.
