For Now and the Future
Conservation A conserving, preserving, guarding, or
protecting; preservation. (Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.)
The word conservation, defined above, has come
to be a "fighting" word with some people in recent
years.
Why? 'As we see it, it is a natural reaction to some
of the f righteningly wasteful practices of earlier years
times when whole forests were burned down just
to clear. the land; when other forests were clear-out
with no thought of the needs of the future.
"NE of the habits of mind which too many Ameri-
can acquired in this bountiful land of ours was the
feeling that God had so blessed us that our natural
resources never could all be used up.
Now, however, we know differently. We have
seen many of the great forests of the lake states van
ish; we have seen the water of rivers overappropriat
ed to the vanishing point; we have heard warnings
that our supplies of oil will, some day, run out.
"Conservation," then, is the business of protecting
and guarding our renewable resources, so that they
may still serve our children and grandchildren, and
conserving our non-renewable resources so they will
last as long as possible, and at least until substitutes
are found.
DUT conservation, in its best sense, goes for beyond
mere timber and oil and water. It also means the
preservation of values found in these physical things.
It means the fruitful and multiple use of those re
sources. It means using them for their best use for the
longest period of time. It means the greatest number
of persons should be served in the widest and most
beneficial manner. y
By proclamation of the Governor, this is Oregon
Conservation Week. In this newspaper, during the
week, are being printed a series of articles written by
experts on conservation of fish, game, forests, range
land, soil and water, which, in Oregon, constitute our
most valuable resources.
'
DUT conservation is not something only for the."ex-
perts." It is something for all the people, for all the
people benefit from wise conservation.
It means jobs, for one thing; jobs not only now but
into the foreseeable future. It means an abundance of
the good things of life, for the farmer, the fisherman,
the hunter, the picnicker, the camper the stockman,
the tourist.
And it means these things in perpetuity.
That's why conservation is important, and why it
merits the thoughtful support and adhererice of us all.

40-Year Pin
Jim Murray was both pleased and surprised last
week when his fellow members of the Typographical
union presented him with a pin for 40 years member
ship in the organization.
Actually, Jim came to the Mail Tribune shop 41
years ago, in 1916, and has
ily since, except for service with the U. S. Navy dur
ing both World War I and World War II.
He has done just about everything there is to do in
the newspaper's printing department, and has done
it well. He is a craftsman, taking deep pride in a job
well done, and despising sloppy, careless work.
"IIHEN Murray first started work in the Mail Trib
une print shop, there were two typecasting ma
chines, an old flat-bed press, and about six or seven
printers and pressmen.
He has watched the newspaper grow over the
years, from a circulation of a few thousand in Med
ford to more than 16,000 in every corner of Jackson
county and the surrounding area. He has helped in
stall new machinery, including the nine typesetting
machines now in place, and the dozen or so auxiliary
machines which have made printing f aster j easier
and more accurate. He now is superintendent of the
printing department, which has more than trebled in
size since he first arrived. .
JIM has grown as the newspaper has grown. He was
a rowdy, Irish, green kid in 1916. Now he's the
man to see when something goes wrong in the back
shop, and 99 times out of 100, he knows what to do
about it, and can do it himself.
He is the one who fixes a machine when it breaks
do n; who figures how many men will be needed
to put out an oversize paper; who helps coordinate
production in the printing department with the varied
needs and demands of the business office, the adver
tising department, and the news-editorial department.
His attitude has always been constructive and pro
gressive. He knows his men and their particular abilities
and skills. And they know him as an even-handed,
steady and kindly foreman. The 40-year pin they gave
hin was more than recognition for long service to the
shop and to the union is was also in the nature of a
personal tribute, a tribute in which all other em
ployees of the newspaper join wholeheartedly.

Today and
By Walter
THE PRESIDENT AND
MR. KNOWLAND
The President is in serious po
litical trouble which stems from
a rebellion, one might almost
call it a revul
sion of feel
ing, within the
Repub 1 i c a n
party. Sudden
ly, within the
course of
about three
months, the
a d ulation
,;xv ss vrnij-m tirn nit?
Walter Lippmsnn last autumn
has been followed by a general
feeling among the professional
politicians that it is risky to sup
port Eisenhower and profitable
to oppose him.
Mr. Knowland, the Republi
can leader in the Senate, is run
ning for President on an anti
Eisenhower platform, and there
are only a handful of Republi
can senators who are standing
by the President. The Vice Presi
dent is proceeding like a subma
rine in hostile waters, mostly
submerged, and when he must
come to the surface,' he shows
as little of himself as possible
for anyone to shoot at. The Dem
ocrats, who under Sen. Lyndon
Johnson, used to be such a help
to thesPresident, are now acting
on the belief that if.it is good
politics for Republicans to op
pose Eisenhower, it is even bet
ter politics for Democrats.
The uprising threatens to go
far beyond the attack on the
size of the budget. There is, for
example, grave danger that Mr.
Knowland, seconded byv Mr.
Hickenlooper, may cause the
Senate to humiliate the Presi
dent by failing to ratify the trea
ty on the peaceful uses of atom
ic energy. If this is done, the
Republican senators will be
making a horrible mockery of
the Republican platform in
which they declared that "one
leader in the world today tow
ers above aU others and inspires
the trust, admiration, confidence
and good will of all the peoples
of every nation Dwight D. Eis
enhower." For they will have
invalidated a solemn promise
made to the nations of the world
by this one leader who towers,
etc., etc. ...
IHE treaty, which Is now in
the Senate and should be rat
ified at this session, would put
no burden on the budget. The
international agency which the
treaty wpuld set up will have
some administrative expenses,
of which the American share
would at the outside be $2,000,
000 a year. Nor has the treaty
anything to do with the question
of "give-aways," that is to say
with gifts to foreign govern
ments. The fissionable materials
to be delivered by the United
States to the international agen
cy will be furnished on a busi
ness basis and not as a gift.
So if ratification fails, it will
be because the Republican lead
ership is opposing the President
on a momentous issue of policy,
and not because it is trying to
reduce the budget.
This would inflict a profound
humiliation upon the President,
and do great damage to the con
fidence of the nations of the
world in the pledges and prom
ises of the United States govern
ment. The history of the treaty
provides unanswerable proof
that if this treaty is not ratified,
the United States government
will have misled the 80 nations

rpHE treaty, which is known as
the Statute of the Internation
al Atomic Energy Agency, car
ries out faithfully the proposals
which the President made on
Dec. 8, 1953, in his dramatic
personal appearance before the
General Assembly of the United
Nations. He then outlined the
functions of the agency which
the treaty would establish, and
he told the United Nations that
"the United States would be
more than willing it would be
proud to take up with others
'principally involved' the devel
opment of plans whereby such
peaceful uses of atomic energy
would be expeditedi Of those
'principally involved' the Soviet
Union must, of course, be one. I
would be prepared to submit to
the Congress of the United
States, and with every expecta
tion of approval, any such plans
There is no doubt therefore
that the present treaty M is an
American project launched pub
licly and officially in the pres
ence of the United Nations by
the President of the United
States. It then took nearly three
years to negotiate the treaty,
and the representatives of the
United States have played a
leading part in the negotiations.
Last October, the draft of the
treaty was adopted unanimously
by the conference at the United
Nations in which 81 govern
ments, including the Soviet Un
ion, were represented.
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
was then a candidate, for re
election on a platform adopted
unanimously by the Republican
convention. Senator Knowland
and Senator Hickenlooper were
delegates at the convention and
they subscribed to the platform
which boasted that "President
Eisenhower has inaugurated and
led a strong program for devel
oping the peaceful atom a pro
gram which has captured the
imagination of men and women
everywhere with its widespread,
positive achievements."
Just before election the Presi
dent himself sent a message to
the U.N. conference of the 81
nations who had approved the
treaty. He said, "I wish my coun
try to be among the first to rec
ognize by official action what
you at this conference have ac
complished," and he went on to
say that once the agency was
established the United States
would make available to it "nu
clear materials that will match
in amount the sum of all quan
tities of such materials made
similarly available by all other
members of the international
agency."
This was a public promise,
and so far as I know Senator
Knowland did not raise his voice
by way of protest or even of
caution.
e e
fFHE text of the treaty has been
discussed for seven months,
and now we find that the Repub
lican leader of the Senate has
not made up his mind. Yet if he
does not make up his mind soon,
there is little likelihood that the
treaty will be ratified in this
session. This will mean that at
the least, supposing eventual
ratification, the whole project
must wait for the better part of
a year.
This raises many questions,
not the least of them, what are
Allied Relations With
Subject of Concern to Germany
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
visit to Washington next week
promises to result in some im
portant agree
ments on Al
lied relati o n s
with Russia.
Adenauer, as
the leader of
west Germany,
has been pret
ty worried
over some, de
velopments of
Charles MeCann OI trie last few
months. These include Great
Britain's revolutionary new de
fense policy, which involves
drastic cuts in military man
power, and the possibility that
tne united States may do some
cutting of its own.
But Adenauer's biggest worry
is that the United States, in its
eagerness for a disarmament
treaty, may make a deal with
Russia at Germany's expense.
There was a sensation in Bonn.
Adenauer's capital, last week
when the Washington corre
spondents of two responsible
West German newspapers report
ed the United States planned
to sponsor a proposal which
would put off any hope of Ger
man unification for an indefinite
period.
According to this report, Har
old Stassen, President Eisenhow
er's special disarmament aide.
had drawn up a plan for a big
demilitarized zone in Central
Europe. The plan wa$ supposed
to have the approval of the
United States and British gov
ernments. The zone plan, according to
the German correspondents,
would involve the acceptance by
the Western Allies of the con
tinued partition of Germany.
, Denials of the report came
quickly from Washington and
from American embassies in
Western European capitals.
Adenauer was attending the
annual congress of his Chris
tian Democratic Party in 'Ham
burg at the time. He was nat
urally alarmed.
Officially, the denials quieted
Adenauer's fears. He told the
party congress he was convinced
the "deal" reports were com
pletely false.
But there are strong indica
tions that Adenauer is still wor
ried. Adenauer is due to arrive in
New York by plane Friday. Aft
er spending the week end there,
he is to go to Washington Mon
day for three days of talks
with Eisenhower, Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles and
other high officials.
He is fairly certain to ask
for firm guarantees that Ger
many will not be sacrificed in
the moral responsibilities of a
party leader in the Senate. I
know that a senator is the freely
elected representative of a sov
ereign state, and that in the let
ter of the law he can vote as his
conscience or as his constituents
dictate. But has the leader of a
party no obligations beyond
those of an individual senator?
Is the power which he holds be
cause he is the elected leader
something which belongs to him
personally, or is it a trust which
carries with it obligations? Does
it not carry with it the obliga
tion to caution the President be
fore he is totally committed to
a great project, and if, in mat
ters of the greatest moment like
this treaty, he cannot support
the President, is it not then his
obligation to resign his leader
snip. e e
POR certainly it cannot be
good morals for the Repub
lican leader of the Senate to
place the President of the Unit
ed States in a position where, by
the action of his own party, he
stands in serious danger of be
ing repudiated and humiliated
in the presence of all the world.

many things about Gamal Abdel
Nasser that ' want clarifying,

ture of his
c o n n e ction
with his sup
porters in the
Kremlin.
Yet the
sou rce of his
power in the
Arab world is
still the cen
tral thing that
Joseph Alsop
needs to be explained. A good
place to look for the explanation
is in this agreeable and pro
sperous little country where the
prospect of an election has pro- ugly movement. It is capable of
voked the most flagrant Egypt-1 such dark treachery as the bomb
ian intervention. - plot against King Saudi of Arabia
The leaders of the government organized by the Egyptian mili
party, President Camille Cham- tary attache. In propaganda and

dalists of the antique pattern
They stand for progress and
good government. Their popular
ity is so great that the wiseacres
say they will surely win at the
polls. And they have guts, too,
as is proved by their forthright
pro-Western policy something
that takes guts, alas, in this part
of the world nowadays.
Because of this policy Cham
oun and Solh are now being at
tacked by their "Arab broth
er" in Egypt with every weapon
in Nasser's large armory. Despite
their popularity, moreover. Cha
moun and Solh fear Nasser's
attack. Otherwise, Chamoun by
now would almost surely have
sent home the Egyptian Ambas
sador here, because of his quite
shameless local political activi
ties. But the resulting open
break with Egypt was consider
ed likely to be a handicap at the
polls.
llfHAT then is the heart of this
mysteryr
This is a rich little land, fruit
ful .in its lovely coastal : region
and fruitful too in the glorious
hills where Hiram, King of Tyre,
cropped the great cedars for the
temple of old Solomon. The
modern Lebanese further pre
serve the astute commercial in
stinct of their Phoenician fore
bears. They have seized every
opportunity to enrich their Le
banon the envied tourist and air
center of the Middle East.
The Lebanese are rich, cer
tainly, but in health, education,
welfare and standard of life,
the Lebanese masses are also far
better off than the masses of
any other Arab country. The
majority of people here, in
short, are well enough off to
know the value of good govern
ment. That is really why Cham
oun and Solh enjoy the kind of
popular support that9 is denied
to likeminded men in other Arab
lands.
In the other Arab lands, the
masses are still tragically ignor
ant and tragically poor. They
cannot conceive of the good
things that wise government can
do for them in time (which is the
real reason for the lack of true
popular enthusiasm for the wise
Iraqi development p r o g.r a m)
they do not demand these good
things. They are politically con
scious, but they do not ask their
political leaders to talk practical
good sense. '
THIS situation in turn provides
the ideal opening for the
Arab leaders of whom Nasser

To him, and to all Germans,

ber of the North AUantic Treaty
Organization, West Germany
would be in the front line in

Joseph Alsop
etype the Arab leaders who
win mass support by venomous
but powerful emotional appeals
to ancient and justified hatreds.
The word "justified" must be
emphasized. It is precisely be
cause the hatreds are justified,
that Chamoun and Solh fear Nas
ser despite their own strength.
But the fact that all these hat
reds have a solid base in the
countless tragedies of Middle
Eastern history, does not alter
the character of Nasser-style
Arab nationalism.
Like all movements that live
by the appeal to hatred, this
nationalism which attracts so
many young people and idealists,
is none the less an inwardly
device in the Fascist book. It has
now even produced a Middle
Eastern "La Prensa" case, in the
form of Nasser's recent seizure
of "Elahram" which used to be
the most respected independent
newspaper printed in Arabic.
TY HATRED, this nationalism
" wins support. But it is also
a betrayal of the masses to whom
it beckons. For every practical
Arab interest now calls for equal
friendship with the West. Yet
Nasser is moving more ami more
rapidly towards the kind of
overt cold war with all the
Western powers, including his
recent rescuer, the United
States, which wiU surely con
demn the masses he leads to an
other generation of squalor and
suffering.
One cannot help sympathizing
a little with Arab politicians
who are tempted to make the
easy appeal to hatred, instead of
the very difficult appeal to na
tional self-improvement. But in
judging this nationalism, which
claims the sympathy reserved
for nations' struggling to be free,
it is important to remember its
true character as well as the
strong mass support that it com
mands. WHEN
