CROSS CURRENTS S WORLD WAR III becomes a real pos- sibility, feeble voices from all parts of the world begin to cry, "peace." The tragedy is that the little voices can do almost nothing to stop ever in- creasing militaristic action because "peace" has lost its meaning. We have very little experience on which to base the concept of peace. Certainly the last decade cannot be called peaceful. If the word peace is to have any meaning at all it must be based on respect for human integrity. This respect allows persons to recognize existing individual and group dif- ferences and to attempt to work out settle- ments and areas of agreement. * * * W E IN THE United States like to think of ourselves as leaders of peace, but we must admit that we have not succeeded in making peace a reality. To fulfill our tasks as leaders, we must review our position in the world and prepare to sacrifice some of our national prestige to a larger world community. A new sense of an expanding loyalty not only to our nation but also to the total world community must replace our allegiance to the state alone. In order to build this world loyalty which provides the only healthy atmosphere in which world peace can develop we will have to take certain specific steps. Care- fully recognizing our position in Korea, we will have to determine whether the United Nations through negotiations in- stead of militaristic action can settle the differences between the North and South Koreans. Such a move would be difficult and painful because the United States forces are in a precarious military position in Korea. However, if our desires for the end of war are sincere, we must begin at this point. Of course, we must do more than de- emphasize our military position. We will also have to continue to show our real con- cern about the economic position of the people who are in need. Practically this concern has been best expressed in our economic cooperation and point four pro- grams. Instead of decreasing aid on these levels, as has been ,suggested in Congress, we must supply even more economic aid. Finally we must attempt to build an area of human understanding among all peoples in the world, primarily between the United States and Russia. The natural reaction to such a proposal is that we have attempted to negotiate in good faith for years, and now we are tired of all this talk and must take action if we are to preserve the things which we hold dear. THE PROBLEM is that we have not been successful in communicating our ideas to the rest of the world. When we attempt to discus mutual difficulties with Russia and other Communistic states, we rely on our own particular frame of reference and hope that a totalitarian government can make decisions in a democratic manner. In attempting to write certain treaties, for example, U. S. officials have tried to make certain compromises in the negotiation situ- ation. But Russia's totalitarian government seemingly allows its representatives to com- promise only if their gain is greater than their loss. Perhaps our failure to work out an answer for this problem reveals too clear- ly the reason for the present war, but if we are to hope for a peaceful world, we can only try again and again, recogniz- ing the basic humanity of all peoples. It does not seem beyond human hope to establish a peaceful world, for the value and integrity of the individual transcends national boundaries. In the present world as we see it another war seems to be the immediate prospect. But if as a nation we want to continue to hope for peace, we must be prepared to make the daring, the courageous move. Either we must do this or forget the idea of peace altogether and prepare for the most terrible war mankind has known. -Janet Watts, Looking Back WITH THE entry of the Chinese Commu- nists en masse into the Korean War the whole world is wondering whether Mao Tse- Tung is now fully committed to the Com- munist conspiracy for world domination, de- spite the certainty that attempts to carry' through such a conspiracy by force will ul- timately bring on World War III. The outbreak of total war can be- avoid- ed should Russia refuse to come to the active aid of Mao's forces once full-scale UN counterattacks begin. But if Mao in the least suspected that the Kremlin would fail him when hemight need aid it is doubtful whether he would have embark- ed on the Korean adventure. If the use of Chinese in Korea is not part of a Moscow-dictated plan for world con- quest that will eventually entail the use of Russian troops what reasons can there be for the presence of the Chinese masses in Korea? There are some who will say that Mao feared invasion of Chinese soil by the UN forces in Korea and that China's entry into the Korean conflict was really a defensive move. This assertion can not be justified when the statements of President Truman concerning advancement of our forces be- yond the borders of Korea are taken into Thanksgiving Recess Plan THE THANKSGIVING vacation problem is not as hopeless as it looks. I believe there is a very workable solution in which a majority of students will not have to trade their cherished two day vacation for two additional days on campus. This can be accomplished by: 1. Ending the orientation period on Thurs- day instead of Friday. 2. Holding registration on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday (or Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday) rather than Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 3. Holding classes on the Friday and Saturday ,of Orientation week. On the first Monday of Orientation week, under our present program, thousands of students are already on campus. These in- clude: freshman and transfer students, ori- entation group leaders, students seeking jobs and rooms, those trying to beat the rush to the book stores and the usual num ber of optimistic social bugs who come early to renew old acquaintances and make new ones at League mixers. For these thousands who are on campus Monday and for the other thousands who come, for example, on Wednesday, even though registration for them is not till Friday, early classes can be a blessing rather than a hardship. Indeed, since the first day's classes usually last but a few minutes, it is well worth the time spent to insure a long vacation with the family during the traditional Thanksgiving sea- son and after a grind of cramming for mid-terms. The advantages in this plan are numerous. It may be said, however, that they all re- volve about the fact that a few hours of Orientation week would be traded for a whole weekend later on, a weekend that can be spent away from campus with a clear conscience and without a chance of missing valuable work. -Bob Margolin. SUCRRENT MOVIES At The Michigan.. THE ADMIRAL WAS A LADY, with Ed- mond O'Brien, Wanda Hendrix and Rudy Vallee. DON'T BELIEVE a word of it. This admiral definitely wasn't a lady. She may have worn tight sweaters, nylon hose, and smiled demurely on cue, but she warn't no lady; worse still she ain't even an actress. Wanda Hendrix, as the ex-Wave ensign, seems to have learned nothing more from her nauti- cal term than how to shout. In places this has a slight practical advantage because almost anything is better than some of the stuff Edmond O'Brien persists in.babbling. O'Brien, in case anyone is still inter- ested, is the ex,war-hero-pilot-nursemaid who with three of his crew home from the wars, is making a valiant effort to live like a king, nay, the crown prince, by sponging off any sucker they can find. Really, of course, naturally, he is a good hearted Joe, who wants to help everyone, including his ex-crewmen, and all this. is a game they are playing like hell. Still around? Well Rudy Vallee appears at op- portune moments threatening our desper- ate heroes with jobs to coerce them into detaining the admiral until Vallee can re- move her boy-friend from the clutching tentacles of his ex-ex-wife. This is not in the least altruistic. Vallee wants to marry his ex-ex for the third time for her money which was his money until her lawyer discovered divorce settlements. And, unpalatable dish as it is, all comes out right in the end. The writer might have had a sperm of account. He has firmly declared on several occassions that the United States has ab- solutely no intention of violating the Man- churian border. Belief that the Chinese launched their attack on this account is en- tirely erroneous. Some observers venture that Mao wants to prevent the UN from unifying Korea by driving their forces below the 38th Parallel. They also say that Mao may be hoping to tie up the UN army in Korea so that he may be free to expand in other directions-not- ably Indo-China. This is thought to be pos- sible because of the limitless manpower Mao controls. It is also thought that Mao's show of strength in Korea may be strictly for bar- gaining purposes. It doesn't seem likely, however, that Mao would possibly think that he could accom- plish any of these objectives alone. The Allies may not at first be able to match the manpower which the Chinese could com- mit to battle, but once UN forces have be- come firmly entrenched and begin to re- ceive a steady stream of supplies our vastly superior firepower and mechanization could virtually eat up whatever amount of man- power Mao may wish to expend. Certainly Mao must realize that the war potential of the UN nations opposing his ag- gression makes any Chinese 'gain in Korea only temporary. If Mao should attack in force in south- east Asia, undoubtedly the UN would take the same steps to halt such aggression as it did in Korea. And in spite of China's manpower the final victory would belong to the UN as in Korea. Will Russia stand by when the tide of battle in Asia indicates final UN victory? If Russia does not actively aid the Chinese at this juncture or earlier by reinforcing them in Korea or by an attack in Europe and the Chinese aggression is eventually firmly turned back by the UN, then the dis- cipline which Stalin has created within the world Communist movement would break down. There would be a complete loss of Rus- sian prestige among the other satellite countries if Russia remained inactive while her Chinese satellite went down to defeat carrying out the orders of the Kremlin. Every satellite would balk at carrying out Moscow directives after seeing what hap- pened in Korea and China in so doing. This would be particularly significant in the case of East Germany, from which any Communist aggression in Europe would have to eminate. Unless the Kremlin's rule over her satel- lites is absolutely iron fisted and protest im- lossible, if Russia does not come to the active support of China now that she has brazenly stuck her chin out ,the Cominform most likely would collapse and with that Stalin's dream of world domination will be shattered. -Paul Marx DREW PEARSON: Washington Merry=-Go-Round CHIEF ADVOCATE for using the A-bomb in Korea-the big issue now being de- bated by President Truman and Prime Min- ister Attlee-is Maj. Gen. James M. Gavin, former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, and now a member of the weapons evaluations group for the Secretary of De- fense. General Gavin proposes using the now relatively old-fashioned Hiroshima bomb, not against civilian populations as at Hiro- shima, but against massed enemy troops. He estimates that this bomb, dropped from an altitude of only 2,000 feet, can wipe out one whole division of enemy troops. Furthermore he estimates that the radio- activity in the wake of the bomb would linger only a matter of minutes, thus troops could come forward in only a short time. Those who oppose General Gavin's argu- ment point out that Russia, which now pos- sesses the A-bomb, could be expected to re- taliate against American cities, now a long way from being ready for A-bomb attack. Also the effect on European public opinion would be disastrous. Meanwhile it is no longer a secret that atomic bombs, presumably of this type, have been sent to American bases in the Far East and Europe, and that knowledge of this fact, coupled with President Truman's state- ment that we are considering using the bomb was what disturbed the British. General Gavin estimates that the Hiro- shima type bomb is the equivalent of 20,- tons of TNT, and would affect an area from three to five miles wide. General Gavin wrote his A-bomb study be- fore Chinese troops came into Korea in great numbers and apparently he has some doubt regarding the use of A-bombs where a huge land army is engaged. From the point of view of a hardboiled militarist's measure- ment of costs, he says: "With a limited stockpile, it would be highly uneconomical to expend a hundred bombs for the purpose of destroying a ground division that costs a hundred million dollars, if there were other divisions available as replacements. But if a single bomb could render one division in- effective, it would probably be a worth- wanne hnm incnc a,,+' "Well, There's Plenty Others Will Listen To Us" r4 I -n W V * 41; SPA. .: e. , XetteP' TO THE EDITOR The Daily welcomes communications from its readers on matters of general interestand will publish all letters which aresigned by the writer and in good taste.

'Concerts Movie Criticism . . 4 To the Editor: WHY IS IT that whenever a good picture comes out, the reviewers in-The Daily will only look for its faults. Mr. Clamage in his review of "No Way .Out" ap- pears to have tears in eyes when he has to write "there is little to criticize." But you are wrong, Mr. Clamage, for you could have gone on criticizing because Webster's definition doesn't limit criticism to just shortcomings. Criticism is "the art of judging . ... the beau- ties and faults of works." It is at this point The Daily movie re-, viewers should stop and realize what their job is. It is to review, to criticize the movies, which means to look for its good points as well as its bad ones. I don't wish to imply that be- cause I thought it was a very good movie Mr. Clamage should have seen it in the same light. Judging a movie is discretionary, it depends too much on the arbi- trary tastes of an individual. But when, admittedly, there is little to "criticize," why not try to bring out the beauties of a work, instead of looking for petty faults. Then the reviewer wouldn't have to contradict himself at the end of a review by saying, "But for what-, ever reason you go, it is a picture worth seeing." --Fred Kellman. £' * * Intellect Level.. To the Editor: I'M GLAD TO SEE that the level of intellect on the "M" cam- pus has risen to the point where no one has as yet dignified some of these bright-eyed young Liber- als (?) like Mr. MacDougal (and persons of similar views) with re-1 plies to their utterances. Although' absurd charges such as U.S. in- tervention in Korea being moti- vated by a desire to protect a to- tally imaginary billion dollar in- vestment by U.S. capitalist (un- less he means thereby the 400 millions of economic aid we've given them gratis-in which case we've invested still more in Rus- sia) need no refutation, there is a certain Mr. Myron Sharpe, Grad., who has me worried.
