MAIL TRIBUNE
Can The East Bring Peace?
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" -

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.

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.

Spain was to become a ' mon

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. Greece is doing weU under
a king after having tried a re
public. A new trend toward
monarchism really would be
something.
This and That
W. 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.

The Courage that's born of Hope,
And the Joy which dwells in Love'
