We fear the basis of the Knowland China policy is wishful thinking. , It is a policy that would have worked in the days of John Hay and Richard Harding Davis, : but un fortunately won't work now. t Fifty years ago, as has been recalled getting tough with China, or other weak nations, was the proper course to pursue under such circumstances because it brought results. DUT today China is not a weak nation, but in a military sense, one of the strong ones. With Russian aid and contiguous to it moreover, it is doubt ful if a naval blocade of Chinese ports by this country would be at all effective. It is about as certain as anything can be, that it would not result in the prompt return of the 11 American air men, but might result in their extended incarceration and even their liquidation. So the more cautious policy of President Eisen hower, while less flramatic and to some less appeal ing, is the more realistic, and promises to be the more effective. Moreover it will not risk war and who Wants another world war as a result of this incident, or any other, until as Secretary Dulles pointed put every peaceful means of settling the matter has been exhausted. to m S " SB) ' SB DUT now Admiral Radford has . joined Senator Knowland in favoring a blockade of China. And the Chinese lobby has seconded the motion." Even Secretary Dulles believes there is a strong demand in this country for such direct U.S. action. -Well, there - may be in Washington. ' But we haven't observed any, here and w.e doubt if there is any in this part of the country. , pROM what we have heard hereabouts the statement of President Eisenhower that such a drastic step would be "an act of war," settled it as far as the peo ple of Oregon as a whole are concerned. - ' The overwhelming desire of the rank and file out here is to keep world peace, to avoid as far as it is humanly possible any risk of another war not peace at any price, but there is a strong faith, that the administration, by restraint and consideration and self control, can work things out and secure the re lease of these airmen, without serious loss of national prestige honor 04r self respect. r-;.- f And on that sort of faith and'ebnfidence they are resting and remaining calm, not paying much attention to the "get-tough" talkers, ' or the flag wavers, but going about their business as usual, pretty generally disposed to follow the slogan of the Boys of 76 at Bunker Hill, not to shoot off their family shotguns or their mouths until they see the "whites of their enemies' eyes." R.W.R. More Work for the UM From one point of view the Hammarskjold mis sion to China was a success, regardless of the im mediate outcome. is For it handed over- to the United Nations for settlement, an issue that, not so many years ago, would have been a "causis belli." 4 This shows a considerable moral advance. And in a few years. : The great danger facing the UN has been dis use. Like a muscle in the human body disuse ends in atrophy and decay. But here a very important matter did not res in side stepping the U. N., but was handed over to that international organization designed to settle such issues by peaceful, rather than warlike means. The effort may fail.. But until it does and even IF it does there is good reason for rejoicing that it was TRIED. A ND if this effort should be a success, and the 11 " U.S. airmen released, then the next item on the UN agenda should be Formosa. - v ' r , For unless there is some peaceful adjustment of this complicated and explosive controversy, we fail to see how war between the United States and China can be avoided. And that undoubtedly would plunge the world into World War HI. . , -. ) For the two nations have taken stands which are diametrically, opposed. Red China declares she can't tolerate an enemy on Formosa and intends to take the island, as long as Chiang holds it.' . The United States has declared she will defend the island with the" 7th fleet, and of course unless one or the other backs downi that would mean war. IXHO owns Formosa anyway? Except; when it " T was ' conquered and occupied by Japan; China has owned . it, ; ever since Columbus discovered America.- " -. '. ' As a result of World iWar ; H China was given complete possession. But who and. what is China today? Mao and his Red armies or Chiang Kai-shek and his "native legions?", V. " ... Without going into further details, here certainly is a "hot international potato" if there ever was onew?- s And if the UN perhaps assisted by the Hague Court of arbitration can't settle the matter, then we fail to see how World War III can eventually be avbidedV It isn't too early we believe for the United Nations to give the problem most serious consideration, and see if a peaceful solution can't be worked out, before it is too late. R.WJL Sunday, January S3, 19SS Matter of Fact THE RACE WE'VE -. , t GOT TO WIN ; Washington By those who should . know, this ; country is now given about an evenTchance of beating the Soviet ' Union in the race to be first to get an inter-conti-nentai ballist ic missile into the air. Although this whole . subject may seem im impossibly -remote to most Stewart Alaot people, this should rate as about the best news the country has had for a long time. For until rather re cently, intelligence studies of the Soviet effort in the field of long range guided missiles strongly suggested that we would almost certainly lose the race for the intercontinental bal listic missile the 13 JUL And this is a race which the United States simply cannot afford to lose. - . . :..".;.-: r: y. The LB.M., married to a hy drogen warhead, is the true ul timate weapon. It can be fired from one continent to another to. destroy a great city, in much the way that a murderer fires a bullet through his a victim's head. The difference is that a I man can hide, and a city cannot. as oi today, at least, there is hardly even a theoretical - de-.j fense against the true inter-con tinental guided missile, except to get the weapon first, to make it better, to make it in greater numbers. Until recently, the ef fort to win the I.B.M. race was strangled in red tape and hob bled for funds. Today, a greater effort could, and undoubtedly should, be made. But at least the effort, is now a serious one. And it is already beginning to pay. off. - . If we beat the Russians to the LB.M. and thereby avert what would surely be world catastro phe a good share of the credit, according ' to those who know, should go to a youngish Califor na engineer .businessman, called Trevor Gardner. Gardner was brought into the - Air Force by Secretary Harold E. Talbott to get the long range missiles into the air. :vv i; v '' In the process,. Gardner has stepped on a great many toes so many that his appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Air Force has been held up in the Senate. But Talbott and Air Force Chief of Staff Nathan F. Twining have; backed him "up", for which they also deserve credit BY dint of toe-stepping, much has been accomplished. Pen tagon red tape has been slashed. An able Air Force man, Brig. Gen. Bernard Schrlever, has gone to the West.Coast to ride oh the big companies like North rop, North American, (Convair, and Lockheed, which are doing the actual work on the missiles. Totally unrealistic : require mentslike : the requirement limiting the margin of permis sible error in an inter-continental ;missile tp 1,500 yards have been rescinded. And funds for the' missile efforts have been fairly sharply increased. Th e amount of increase is hidden in the over-all Air Force budget, but it is said to be substantial, As a result of aU this effort, the timetable for our entry into the age of the long range guided missile has been revised down ward all , along the line. ' Most significantly, the State Depart ment and the ; British: Foreign Office are now negotiating for a 5,000-mile missile firing range, extending into the Atlantic from Florida to the Ascension Islands.' The immediate reason for this negotiation is the SNARK, the jetpropelled, pilotless aircraft guided by- the stars, and which flies just under the speed of sound. But the SNARK is only the fore-runner. After - the SNARK comes the NAVAHO, the ram-jet Which is a true guided missile, flying more than . twice the speed of sound. Then comes the mighty ATLAS, the true inter-continental ballistic missile which climbs an incredible 600 miles into space before it plunges to the kiU. And at some point depending on a decision which has net yet been made there cornea the first man-made, arti ficial earth-satellite: But, for the immediate future, ATLAS is the decisive weapon.- -"":;- There will be a further report in this space on these strange and terrible gadgets. Here it is enough to say that in each case the prospects for early success are measurably brighter than they were a year ago.; But there is stUT no cause for' complacency- Our chances of winning the. LB.M. race have improved but they - are stOl no better than even. HPHOSE in a position to . judge believe that , we could be al most certain ' of winning ' this race -we - must 'win;- oncne -eon dltion. ThU condition is na tional sense of urgency, leading to a major effort on a war time scale to win the race. This would involve greater : expenditures. But the eoncentratios of energy and- talent which a national By Srewart Alsop sense of urgency brings forth Is a more important element in the equation. - ; ' . " " ' " And - this sense of urgency is now lacking for a "very simple reasoh. ' The i secrecy syndrome from which' this Administration suffers has made the LB JUL; an unmentionable subject. This in turn makes it impossible to ac knowledge that the problem" of winning the LB.M. race reaUy exists or,: even to take - credit for the genuine advances which have been made.

In the Day's lleWs By FRANK JENKINS ? v What of the shooting in the islets that dot '- the East China Sea between Formosa" and the Red China coast? ,: WiU it drag us into war? - ON THAT point (which. U ter. ribly important to us) let's quote the top military authority in the world President Eisen' hower. - '.-; i:- - 2 : Ike tells his -press conference that he doesn't know of ANY military authority who consid ers either Yikiangshan (pro nounced Ee-kyong-shahn) or Tachen pronounced Dah-jen) is lands as ESSENTIAL TO FOR MOSA. (It's FORMOSA around which we have drawn the line and dared the Reds to cross it.) rHAT is to say:' If these little islands aren't essential to the defense of For mosa there is no reason - why we should go to war .to defend them. . .-: HOW about Malta, which is a mere speck in the Mediter ranean but generations - has been an anchor of British power in that area? That was' in pre-atomic-war days. I suspect that one hydro gen bomb, accurately placed, would put Malta out of busi ness. The same is true of these little islands in the East China Sea... .

Orient," here's, something to turn over in our minds: - ; - Japan's foreign- minister Sh gemitsu lays on the diplomatic table (which, in . many ways, is not dissimilar to a poker table) a statement to the effect that his government wants to make peace with the Soviet Union and restore Tokyo-Moscow relations to the pre-war level. He doesn't commit himself on recognition of Red China, but he adds: v "JAPAN WANTS TO EN COURAGE TRADE WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS." , OT so good? W-e-H-H- The rough, cold economic fact of ; the situation is that Japan must TRADE OR STARVE and we Wwon't " let ' her ' tirade much with us because her production costs are so low that she can undersell us disastrously. ; , Communist Russia and Com munist, China, between - them, control- the trade of Asia.

Because my pals are bringing me so much happiness, I want to share it so other little boys and girls can be happy too, so if you don't have a daddy, just call me or my mom and tell us and I know that one of my , pals would be your pal too. : ; , And you pals, keep calling be cause there are many little boys and girls, right here in our val ley who would be mighty proud to be your little friend. Mr. Editor, thanks to you for printing my letter, for, now I have a pal to build model air planes with, and one who takes me to help clean the barn and feed and ride his pretty horses, and one who lets me- go to the woods with him to get wood for the big fireplace, and a pal to go to Sunday School With me, and so many swell pals I can't write them ail here. So thank you, and the Mail Tribune, an especially all of you really wonderful pals whose hearts are big enough to include a little boy like me. Benny Card Jr., . (Phone 3-5464) . 1617Vi, N.

How they; ever escaped my no tice; in the weary years put in there is ' beyond me. Anyway, Grandpa i CUfford hearing the odd noise, saw one a-comin' at him. He had no handy tree, so just jabbed his hoe firmly down and stiff -armed it out in front of him. The snake dead-centered it Grandpa never did say what became of the snake but he did claim that the hoe-handle swell ed up big as his leg instantly, or almost. Never did go down right ly so he had to make a new one. The silvery-haired one listened with avid interest to my grand pa's close calL but balked sharp ly at the hoe-nandle version. "Now. you're storying- and you know it," she told me, her Irish eyes bright with disbelief. "Just as much truth in it as there is in yours", I told her. But no, no, no. "Wasn't it her own brother who was there?" So it is. Nothing can change her belief in hoopsnakes. And it is so surprising the number of people who believe the same, despite the fact that there is not the -least shred of evidence in all natural history of the "dead ly human hatin hoopsnake." F. J.

Despite the coexistence of hundreds of kinds of v animals throughout the world, one of the most widespread beliefs of our civilization is tJlat all animals are in a constant state of "war fare" with one another. "Nature, red in. tooth and claw" said Tennyson and, unthinkingly, we repeat that pat phrase. "Sur vival of the fittest" says'Dar- win nd, in agreement we add that this life ; belongs ; to the strongest the swiftest the cun ningest :;-; .y' -vy-':'. : i That is not true. Certainly, ah aggressiveness exists among ani mals and there is killing one would be blind not to recognize it but . even more, there is .a very - strong; drive towards co operative . behavior,., a sort : of natural . nonconscious working together between species. Isn't the very presence of the thous ands of kinds of animals living a "testimony to' their ' getting along? From the lowest forms, there is a tendency to come together for mutual advantages. In re cent - experiments it : has been shown that benefits come from a certain ' amount of crowding not overcrowding while isola tion appears to be fataL."';, Protozoans, simple form of life; when introduced in largo numbers in a sterile medium of relative- simple salts grow more rapidly than If the cultures arc started with only a few. Among a group of worms exposed to ultraviolet radiation those which were isolated a . few minutes after irradiation suffered si much higher "death toll ; than ? those which were left together. Perhaps it is for this reason that among the very lowest forms single-celled animals work desperately to get together: re move amoebae some - distance from ; a group of their fellows and the separated ones : im mediately begin to make their way back to the group. Higher up the scale, take apart the cells of a frog's eggs during . an early stage, in; its ; development and place ; the separate cells some distance apart in water and the separated cells will slowly but surely approach each other un til: they re-establish contact ; In the higher isrsu, tneat same co-operative drives are op erative and if anything, stronj- er. Among herring gulls, it has been observed that members of larger colonies commence court ship activities earlier than when the colonies are smaller, with speeding up of the egg-laying process and hatching. Under such conditions, a greater num ber of young gulls survive than when the colony is small and the spread . of hatching time- is longer, , Likewise the eomoon aea urchin shows that the develop ment of the fertilized e;j, with a few exceptions, is more rapid hvihr denser- ehister of - Zt than is ijolatad fallow ess, and Cwtrriiutws) driver piled out and went in the bank for a glass of punch. ., The driver stayed in the car, . and kept the motor running , to keep warm .
