I ,PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1931 ____________________________________ U _________________________________________________________________________ DORIS FLEESON: Japanese Treaty W ASHINGTON-The careful and co-oper- ative planning of a Republican diplomat from the canyons of Wall Street and a Democratic Senator from the Northwest is presenting Washington with a welcome de- parture from the current confusion and rivalry between the executive and legislative branches. Between them, Ambassador John Foster Dulles and Sen. Warren Magnuson of Wash- ington have in hand the main outlines of a Japanese Peace Treaty which will fulfill two vital aims: I. It will bring Japan into the United Nations as an independent nation, freed of occupying forces and re-armed to do its part in the fight against Communist ag- gression. 2. It will replace the threat of another prewar Japan, the cut throat economic competitor that the West learned to fear and hate, with a nation allowed trading room but required to obey the West's rules of conservation and fair trade. The international political goals of the first part of this tall order are the special province of Mr. Dulles and he has proved brilliantly successful with them in a hard recent week in London. When the British succumbed to Mr. Dulles' argument that Japan presented the only potential source of military strength now available to the Allies in the Far East, he was over the hump. It was Mr. Dulles' inspiration to separate consideration of the economic problems posed by Japan from the General treaty. These economic aspects are covered by a blanket provision in which Japan obligates herself to negotiate settlements with the Allies in the fields of trade agreements, mer- chant marine and fisheries. * * * T HUS the Senate will be free to act swiftly on the general question of mobilizing the political, social and military force of Japan for the anti-Communist world. This will be a popular aim and Senators are predicting that once Allied accord is reached, action can be had with reasonable promptitude. From a domestic point of view, the Sen- ate will be more skeptical with respect to the economic aspects. And this is where Sen. Magnuson, whose special province is merchant marine and fisheries-he is head of; that subcommittee of Interstate and Foreign Commerce-comes in. As for the trade agreements, Japan, the Senate will be assured, can be fitted into the existing trade agreement structure. The State Department now possesses a vast ex- perience in reciprocal trade agreements and is ready to promise the Japanese its prompt co-operation. Sen. Magnuson is starting his work on the problem of Japan as a trading and fish- ing nation entitled to an adequate merchant marine and fishing fleet with the premise that the West will not try to fence off the Pacific Ocean. He is aware that extremists here and in Great Britain would prefer to have it that way but he believes he can con- vince the majority to the contrary. The Senator from Washington initiated his present studies with a trip to Tokyo and the Far East where he talked directly to Japanese officials. When their negotiators arrive, which will be soon, he expects to sit down with them and U. S. shippers and fisheries to talk things over. (Released by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Dewey's Tour GOVERNOR DEWEYS announcement that he will make a journey next month covering various trouble areas of the Far East indicates that his voice will be heard, and heard with fresh vigor and authority, in the debates on foreign policy which are bound to continue. The Governor has never been hesitant about accepting a role of leadership in regard to the Far East. He discerned early that the Democratic Administration must accept the onerous responsibility for failures and disappointments in that field; he has not ceased to hammer away at his broad-based and in large part un- answerable criticisms of the prevailing drift. Mr. Dewey, however, has not, while con- sidering Asia, closed his eyes to the rest of the world. One of the earliest and most out- spoken advocates of General Eisenhower's candidacy for 1952, he has committed him- self in speech after speech to the urgencies of the Atlantic pact; and it is not to be supposed that he will now adopt positions which might be untenable for the figure whose candidacy he favors. The Governor stresses that he will jour- ney as a private citizen at his own expense and by commercial air lines. Wherever he goes he will be accepted, nevertheless, as one of the most influential and one of the wisest voices in the shaping of Republican policy. He will be received and listened to as only a rare private citizen deserves to be. We trust that in the various stages of his journey, in Japan, in Korea, in Formosa . MA TTE R O F FA CT By STEWART ALSOP '1 -MALIK: ZAG IN KOREA?- WASHINGTON-The reaction of the us- ually optimistic President Truman to the Malik statement was, uncharacteristic- ally, a good deal more cautious and skepti- cal than that of his advisers. Truman ori- ginally intended to keep his previously sche- duled Tennessee speech unchanged, and it was only at the last moment that he was persuaded by Secretary of State Dean Ache- son to include in a few sentences an ob- lique nod to Malik. Unlike Truman, who was much inclined to write the Malik statement off as a mere propaganda trick, the State Department and Pentagon planners and Russians experts take the Soviet proposal of a Korean cease- fire very seriously indeed. This is signifi- cant, if only because these men are much more familiar with the pattern of Sov1it behavior than President Truman. Moreover, the belief among the experts that the Soviets may now be willing to cut their losses in Korea goes back well before the Malik statement. Almost six weeks ago, reports began appearing in this space stating that "it is entirely possible that the fighting in Korea will come to an end in the near future," and that "the most experienced policy makers serious- ly believe that there is a real chance of a negotiated settlement of the Korean war." Especially before Malik's speech, this hopefulness was surprising, and difficult to explain in really solid terms. It was natural to suspect-and this reporter did suspect-. that the sudden flowering of cautious op- timism which began early in May and still continues was based on some sort of direct, secret negotiations with the Kremlin. But if secret negotiations have been going on, either knowledge of them is limited to a half dozen men at the most, or official Washington has produced a remarkable crop of skillful liars. What has apparently actually happened is that a sort of semaphoric diplomacy, a wav- ing of signal flags across the vast gulf which separates the Soviet Union from the West, has been substituted for the direct and secret contact of the old diplomacy. From the first the Soviet signals convinced the experts that there was a real chance of a Korean settlement. * * * THE FIRST' very dim and distant wig- wagging came, about two months ago, in the form of very faint hints from Soviet officials that a reasonable settlement might be reached. These hints were conveyed first to the British and Swedes, and then, extre- mely tentatively, by Malik himself to two Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. subordinate American officials of the United Nations. At the same time, American objectives in Korea were in process of being defined by the National Security Council. The N.S.C. ruled officially that the "political" objec- tive remained the unification of all Korea, but that the "military" objective was a cease fire at or near the 38th Parallel. This amounted to saying that we would like a non-Communist government in all Korea, but that we would settle for less because we had to. After this National Security Council deci- sion, the semaphoring started from the Am- erican side. During the MacArthur hearings, very broad hints from Secretary of Defense Marshall and from Generals Bradley and Collins were followed by a flat statement by Secretary Acheson. This statement, that under certain obvious conditions we would accept a cease-fire at the Parallel, was un- doubtedly read with interest in Moscow. Meanwhile, the Kremlin was also run- ning up more signal flags. The Johnson resolution, calling for a Korean cease fire, was given great prominence in the Soviet press. Immediately the American Communists, obviously under priority in- structions, from the Kremlin, started an all-out campaign in support of the John- son resolution. Thus the Malik statement is only the last of a number of moves in a complicated, ri- tualistic feeling-out process. It may be, of course, that President Truman's first in- stinct was correct, and that Malik's state- ment, and all the signs and portents which preceded it, have been no more than an elaborate trap for the unwary. But as the Russian experts point out, Lenin long ago laid down the rule that So- viet policy must be a "zig-zag" policy, strik- for power when the risks seem small, re- coiling when the risk becomes too great. Those best qualified to judge believe that it is entirely possible that the Kremlin intends to zag in Korea. For the risk in Korea is quite clearly the risk of a third world war. Yet Soviet zigs always follow Soviet zags, as Greece followed Iran and Berlin followed Greece and Korea followed Ber- lin. This is why, if there is an end to the Korean fighting, this country will be faced with a test of its stamina and Its leader- ship greater, in a way, than the Korean war itself. For the already evident temptation to re- lax the painful and expensive effort to strengthen the free world against Soviet aggression will then become immensely powerful. If this country does relapse into complacency, sooner or later the Soviets will achieve the decisive breakthrough, in Yugo- slavia or the Middle East or elsewhere, which is the object of their zig-zag policy. Then the alliance of the West will begin to fall apart in weakness and fear. But Korey, has shown, at least, that this need not hap- pen. (Copyright, 1951, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.)

NIGHT EDITOR: EVA SIMON DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN I *1 Four Out of Five .. . To the Editor: Where among this motley array of draft dodgers, probation stu- dents and old maid school teach- ers that have just dragged them- selves onto the campus is some faint resemblance of a real CO-, ED? For the past three days I have prowled this campus high and low, but nowhere was there one to be found. I know that the fifth one comes to Michigan, but I seriously doubt if that one bothered to show up this term. I well realize that a lack of good material keeps the male sharp, alert and active. However, the femmes in this neighborhood are enough to discourage even the most rash among us. If you are hereabouts COED, for Aphrodite's sake, reveal thyself. -Arthur9Huntington Box 69, The Daily Capitalism . . To the Editor: IN HIS ARTICLE "Wanted: a New Name for Capitalism," condensed in a recent article in a national magazine (Readers Di- gest), William Nichols says "it (Capitalism) is a misleading term because, when applied to America, it no longer fits the system it pretends to describe.' To justify a change in name, Mr. Nichols points to the dif- ference in "conditions" today from those of fifty to one hundred years ago. He says, "There is no denying that Capitalism's early period contains many dark chap- ters of worker exploitation," as compared to "new plans for bon- uses, pensions, and other ways of sharing profits." "The redefinition of just one word (Capitalism) could help check the spread of world com- munism." Nichols says, "Capital- ism is the word used over and over by the Soviets as a smear wvrd to discredit us." He concludes by saying, ''We need a new word to describe our system where men go forward free- ly together, working together, and Chiggers A man comes home from a trip to the Ozarks, and he says, reach- ing to scratch himself just above the left ankle, "Boy, did I get chigger bites!" "Nonesense!" says the Depart- ment of Agriculture, announcing the results of eight years of re- search on which it spent some $216,000. "Chiggers do not bite. They attach themselves to the base of a hair and secrete a poison that irritates the skin." Now this is scientific stuff, prob- ably sound, since so much cash was spent in accumulating it. But one thing even the department ex- perts are going to have to admit; it still leaves the poor man stand- ing there, reaching by this time to scratch right and left ankles simultaneously. -St. Louis Star-Times BARNABY sharing together the rewards of their increased productions. Now then, according to the dic- tionary, Capitalism: "An econom- is system . . . in which the own- ership of land and natural wealth, the production, distribution and exchange of goods the employ- ment and reward of human labor . are entrusted to .. . private enterprise and control under com- petitive conditions." As this de- finition covers our present eco- nomic system in America, we can- not honestly call it anything else but Capitalism. As to working together and sharing the rewards of our in- creased production, this is not true. For while Capitalists were almost doubling their volume of profit over the past few years, most workers have actually suf- fered a decline in purchasing power. Capitalists would like us to be- lieve that modern conveniences are the direct effects of Capital- ism. What we should know, how- ever, is: Capitalism has nothing whatsoever to' do with the devel- opment of ideas or rewards there- of. Nichols also alleges that im- provements in working conditions and America's high standard of living is a direct result of Capi- talism. If this were true, how can one account for the low standard of living in all other Capitalistic countries? And anyway if everything is so good under Capitalism, WHY CHANGE ITS NAME? No, let us not change its name. Let us either abolish it, or improve it. Let us establish a decent society, and the name will take care of itself.

The restrictions on the use of automobiles do not apply to the fol- lowing students of the summer session who are in an EXEMPT category, but even students of this EXEMPT ca- tegory must register their automobiles with the Office of Student Affairs Room 1020 Administration Building. The following students are in an EX- EMPT category: 1. Those who in the academic year are engaged in professional pursuits, as, for example; teachers, lawyers, physi- cians, dentists, nurses. That is, those who in the preceding academic year were engaged in one of the above oc- cupations or professions and not en- rolled as a student; 2. Those who are 26 years of age or over; 3. Married students; 4. Students holding a faculty rank of teaching fellow or higher. Students who are NOT EXEMPT in accordance with the above listings may apply for permits to Mr. Streiff or Mr. Wirbel in the Office of Student Affairs, Room 1020 Administration Building. Each application will be considered up- on its merits. A Recreational privilege is available for participation in outdoor sports such as golf, tennis, swimming, etc. All students who in the academic year 1950-51 held either the EXEMPT or SPECIAL PRIVILEGE permit will automatically be entitled to the same privilege for the summer session as long as their status remains the same, i.e., the reasons for which the permit was originally granted persist through- out the summer session; BUT, these students must promptly notify the Of- fice of Student Affairs of their intent to extend the permit through the sum- mer session. All students, including those who are in the EXEMPT category, must carry Public Liability and Property Damage and furnish the name of the insuring company, the policy number, and ex- piration date of the policy before per- imission to drive is granted. Any stu- dent under 21 years of age must pre- sent a letter from a parent giving him permission to operate a car. NOTE: Any student who drives with- out first having secured a permit is subject to disciplinary action. The summer session interpretation of this ruling given above does not apply to the regular academic year. Student organizations planning to be active during the summer session must register In the Office of Student Af- fairs not later than July 6. Forms for registration are available in the Office of Student Affairs, 1020 Administration Building.

Ap- plication forms and a copy of regula- tions governing these events may be secured in the Office of Student Af- fairs, 1020 Administration Building. Requests for approval must be sub- mitted to that office no later than noon of the Monday before the event is scheduled. A list of approved social events wil be published in the Daily Official Bulletin on Wednesday of each week. Season tickets for the Department of Speech Summer Season of Plays may now be purchased at the Men- delssohn box office from 10 a.m. thru Oldtimers Despite all the talk of manpower shortage, the old prejudices in the hiring of labor are operating as usual. Henry L. McCarthy, New York City's welfare commissioner, says that past-40 workers are being given the brush-off by employers. Perhaps in a year and a half, when the manpower pinch will be felt through all industry, employ- ers will not be able to afford their present hiring prejudices. How- ever, it would seem farsighted of them to be shedding them now. -The Washington Post 5 p.m. daily.

I W ASHINGTON-While making a survey of Europe last winter several top dip- lomats expressed the following idea about peace or war with Soviet Russia: "The worst blunder Moscow ever made was to invade Korea. It created unity among the United Nations. It aroused the American people; and it put your mobilization pro- gram in high gear. "And the smartest thing the Kremlin could do now," these diplomats continued, "would be to make a dramatic peace bid. It would throw discord into the United Nations. It would pull the stops out of your mobilization program. And it would ease the American people into a false sense of security. "The peace bid wouldn't mean anything in the long run," these diplomates believed. "For as long as Russia maintains a huge land army the world cannot be safe. But a false sense of security is just what Moscow wants'" This may be what is happening today. It is interesting that Malik's speech came just as the Price Control Bill was nearing a vote and just as Congress was about to adopt the biggest tax bill in peacetime history-most of it to pay the cost of mobilization. ,i'* * -McCARTHY DEMANDS REWARD- REPUBLICAN LEADERS did some fancy, backstage wirepulling to keep Senator McCarthy off the important GOP Policy Committee. Here is the inside story of what happened. McCarthy had demanded the Policy Com- mittee seat as his reward for smearing the Democrats and carrying five states for Re- publican senators last November-Mary- land, Utah, California, Indiana and Illi- nois. He was supported in this claim by such Republicans as Sen. Ferguson of Michigan, who argued that McCarthy's name-calling was worth ten to twenty thousand votes in each state; but he was opposed by Sen. Mil- likin of Colorado, the GOP Senate Chair- man, who flatly refused to appoint McCar- What they proposed was to add another member to the Policy Committee in order to create a vacancy for McCarthy. Under the rules, this petition forced Mil- likin to call a meeting of all Republican Senators, which he did. Meanwhile, however, GOP leaders mov- ed fast. They shifted committee assign- ments around to create a vacancy on the powerful Senate Rules Committee, then in order to pacify McCarthy, offered the rules post to him. This was too much of a temptation for McCarthy to resist, and he accepted. For it put him in a position to block the Senate Report on the Maryland elections, where he is up to his neck in this scandal and anxious for a whitewash. For example, the Maryland investigation has already discovered that McCarthy's as- sistant, Don Surine, perjured himself be- fore a Senate committee and was kicked out of the FBI for fraternizing with a white slavery prostitute he was supposed to be in- vestigating. So McCarthy accepted the Rules Commit- tee post. After attaining this, however, he refused to be satisfied and continued his campaign to get on the Policy Committee. -FORGOTTEN SPEECHES- THE LAST TIME Congress had a major debate on price controls was in 1946, at which time a lot of interesting speeches were made, some of which certain Congress- men would like to forget. Significantly, it's some of the same solons who are promising reduced prices if controls once again are relaxed. Here is what they said in 1946-af- ter which food prices went up 50 to 100 per cent: Sen. Wherry (Neb. Rep.)-"Mr. Bowles has said that if price controls were eliminat- ed, the price of meat would go up 50 per cent. Mr. Bowles is trying to scare us. My prediction is that without price control meat will cost less than today." (Meat is now up in some cases more than 100 per cent).
