The difference between the two is that Morse is in position to do something about it, and Fisher isn't yet. Morse says he will take the matter up with Secretary Goldberg; and it's a safe bet the ruling will be modified enough to let the braceros come to Oregon to pick pears. This will be a chance for Goldberg to help Morse, and rectify what appears to be discrimination. THIS isn't all the farmers have to complain a if fwav i In ! n era 1" ti U n cVi i n rri r i T'V. ni-o't! a bill to restrict work on farms to children 12 years of age or older. Sen. Carl Francis of Dayton led a delegation of farmers to enlist Gov. Hatfield's support in opposition to One of its provisions would limit jobs for children between 12 and 14 to those within 25 miles of their homes, which would interfere with drawing on the pool of labor in Portland by farm ers outside the 25 mile Field work can be dren than idleness; but it supervision, with some tation. IT'S ODD, but true that the federal government can set up standards of the Mexican nationals, but not of Americans, unless it be for children. This is because the Mexicans are admitted under treaty and Mexico requires guarantees of protection for its nationals before they can be recruited and imported. Thus it has happened that Americans were "second - class" workers though they were "first-class" citizens. Oregon has taken steps to improve the lot of migrant farm labor, and has reason for pride in its action. Instead there's the sniping at Commis sioner Nilscn over Diaz-Infante. We hope the pear growers can bring in the Mexicans if Cali fornia growers can. We'd like it better if more American nationals would turn out to do the work and get off the unemployment rolls.

So far as the vision is I.lppmann credible at all it Is because of the relation ship between Gen. de Gaulle and Dr. Adenauer and the success of the Common Mar ket. For myself, I think that a Franco-German Europe under French leadership is an opti cal illusion which will pass away wilh the two venerable figures who have created it. For a closed, continental Franco-German community is contrary to the vital national, political, military, and eco nomic inlerests of the German Federal Republic. The vital in terests of the German nation as a whole are bound up with the wider association of which the Atlantic nations are the core. I DO NOT think thai the fun--- damenlal issue will be de termined by, or be much af fected by. the personalities and the frictions of diplo matic intercourse. Gen. de Gaulle is a towering figure who plays Ihe game of inter-, national politics as it was taught by Machiavelli and , piayeo in oiner nays oy men j like Richelieu and Talleyrand He knows that we are not a! odds with him over a trivi al misiinrlnrsl anH inff rlnp In laciiessness and bad manners.

In doing this they will be delivering ering win a fearful blow at the Atlantic iiminunily and at NATO hich is their defense. If. on "'"'r nn"fl. i.ermans llrn outwardly, whirl, would mean to insist on viable teems for nntam and the i onimon- wralth, Gaullisl Europe will be nothing more than an idle dream.

MEDFORD. OREGON Lippmann Tribune Syndicate THERE is no reason In think X that the A d e n a u e r-de Gaulle axis against the Anglo - Saxons will be the cenler of the policy of Dr. Adenauer's successors. Already Dr. Schroeder, the Foreign Minis- rea,izeab,e,er. has announced that Ger - many would press for the ad mission of Britain. A Franco-German axis Is contrary to German interests. In the first place, it Jeopar dizes dangerously the United Stales military commitment on the continent of Europe. After Dr. Adenauer realized what his first angry interview in Berlin had done, and when he had read Gen. de Gaulle's recent press conference, he said in another interview, "We must under no circum stances release the United States from the defense com munity. Without the United States we are lost." TN THE second place, ihe Germans will realize that a Gaullist Europe assumes Ihe continuing partition of Ger many. A Gaullist Europe will oppose any opening to Ihe F.ast which In the course of time might bring about the reunification of Germany The hard line that France takes about Berlin and the Soviet Union is founded, we must be sure to understand, on a basic French national de termination not to have to live wiih a large reunited Germanv.

This! tolerated mass , m m'n nit r h i Tn r e n China can , . ' . that the re - gime of Mao Tse-tung is on the verge of a major internal crisis of the most convulsive sort. Th other explanations which have been offered London, in Hong Kong, and here in Washington, are all equally silly. Consider the most persuasive-lhat the Chi nese Communist government wants to prove to its people that Hong Kong is not a pos sible refuge, and thus to kill the mass impulse to take flight which has increasingly disturbed Southeast China. In the first place, the Chi nese Communist authorities could not possibly have fore seen how the Hong Kong gov ernment would respond, when the rigorously strict Commu nist border controls cither col lapsed, or were overwhelmed 1 or were relaxed. In the second place, there has been a pro portional, all but overwhelm ing influx of Chinese refugees into the little Portuguese city of Macao: and here the refu- jW have not been turned back THERE are comparable ma--1 jor flaws in all the attempts to show that the terrible scenes on the Hong Kong bor der do not imply a terrible crisis on the Communist side of the border. Meanwhile, the plain facts speak for them selves. The fads are: First, although a tiny num ber of exit permits have been granted by the Communists, the great mass of refugees who fled from Communist China have always risked death lo do so. Until just the other day, an immense and unrelenting effort was always made to prevent unauthorized flight; and Ihe land borders between Hong Kong and Ma cao were especially rigorous ly patrolled. Second, the Communis! con trols of the land borders have now been relaxed, or they have been overwhelmed (which is equally likely) the police and army units involv ed have lost all stomach for their task. Whichever the case may be, the development is a sure symptom of acute inter nal crisis. Communist govern ments do not relax their bor der guards, and Communist border guards do not abandon I their posts, except in circum stances of acute crisis. THE cause of the crisis can he Identified wilh virtual certainty. For over three years, the peasant masses of China have been condemned by their own rulers to a con- jditinn of creeping starvation According lo an authoritative computation based on first hand evidence from newly ar rived refugees, this winter's fond intake of Chinese adult li-nrlrnr. f.-rt. tlilOll tit ! . , ' " ''position we expressed at Ge- 1.H00 calories per day, accord-1 lnR 10 laoor category. Even the hardy Chinese Is Late; Plain Speaking Needed For the last two or three years, this wnler has felt sure, ann nas so sain in 1111s space, that such a posture in Washington was a fundamen tal necessity. It is necessary not only to check the growth of domestic right wing "fed-up-ness." but to give these tangled arrangements around the world a hetler chance of accomplishing what they are supposed to accomplish, , Eor a decade or more the right of "plain speaking ' has been mostly a one-way exer cise. As the unspoken rules nf lhe game gradually developed by usage, it was considered fair for Pe Gaulle to grandly re-arrange the world and our place in it; it was fan- f ir Adenauer to reach agreemen-.s with Washington and then summon a news conference to publicly stamp the agreement with his own interpretation of it, knowing full well it was his alone. It was fair for the British Eoreisn Office lo leak severe attacks on American policies to its tavored press while protending officially tl'.at al! was harmony It was fair for any one of a number of I. a' lo Amertc.in govern ments to publu-ly hi. one W'asiv tngton for jheir dome,v ills while refusing collect i e!y to do anvihmg anmit tlioe ills thenisel os I- w 'ol 'i r ' -r V"" ,, a A-i p h :i ivn'rc Nearly ilwayi thrpt.:out , o O 4 Joseph Alsop Tribune Svndleat0 i cannot survive and do their , work Indefinitely on this , cruelly low level of nourish- 1 ment.

If j ..it i"""1'01 ' 1 ernments have now exhausted their grain stocks, they would , , , , , , , then cease to be able to pro vide even this winler's miser ably low ration. An acute cri- ! sis would automatically re- suit. This is in fact the most rational explanation of the scenes on the Hong Kong bor der. Indeed it is the only ra tional explanation yet offered. TT MAY be, of course, that the current crisis is local ized in Kwantung province. . which includes both the Hong Kong and Macao borders. The provincial granaries could well be exhausted, while the rest of China could still he struggling forward, in the grip of no worse misery than what has now become cus tomary. It is more probable, how ever, that the scenes on the Hong Kong border betoken a generalized crisis. Despite careful cross-checking during the years, no dramatic differ ence has ever been discovered lZZ tung province and the state the rest of China. Further more, if a general crisis has not already begun, It Is likely to do so before many months. The truth is that China now seems to be in the grip of a remorselessly descending spi ral. There is no sign that the next harvest will bring re lief, any more than the last harvest, or the lasl-but-one. There are manv signs on Ihe other side of the ledger. But that leaves the question, whether a crisis lhat has lis origin in grave, prolonged food shortage will turn, in the end, into a political crisis. This Is the question no one can answer, except to say that in the Chinese past crises of this character have always produced political upheavals.
