Old Tricks of Delusion
RUSSIA’S call for a peace conference on Germany is one
* of the more astute propaganda moves the Kremlin has
made in recent months.
Its appeal to the German mind is powerful. The Russians
. urge a unified Germany with its own independent military
force, a country wholly free of occupation armies. They
suggest the Germans be allowed to develop their economy
without limit and to trade as they wish. They even hint
Germany might have a chance to regain eastern territory
•which was handed to Poland at the close of World war II.
The Western powers obviously can offer nothing so at-
tractive as this. They alone cannot unify Germany. They
cannot promise return of any land except the western Saar
region. Their military proposition is for German armec
units welded into a six-nation European army. And they
seem disinclined to make sweeping economic concessions.
XHE Soviet scheme inevitably strengthens the hand of
Chancellor Adenauer’s opposition in Germany, since
groups like Kurt Schumacher’s Social Democrats have long
assailed him for conceding too much to the Western powers.
Now they have more ammunition.
It is even likely that many in both Britain and France
will find the Russian proposal appealing. That is, within
limits. France could not be expected to like the idea of a
revived independent German army, nor Britain to approve
a Germany free of all trade fetters. But the prospect of
some kind of settlement for Germany has its understand-
able fascination for a Europe sick of problems.
In the end, however, the transparency of this latest Rus-
sian device must be evident to all. What a futile thing it is
to sit at the peace table with the Soviet Union has been well
illustrated by the interminable delays over the Austrian
treaty, and Panmunjom, where the Russians stand behint
the actual Red negotiators, is a more current example.
QTHER parts of the Soviet proposal are equally suspect.
The withdrawal of foreign troops always has been a
phony, inasmuch as it would leave the Russians at the ad-
jacent German-Polish border, while American forces wouli
retire across 3,000 miles of ocean.
The offer of sweeping economic freedom and of an inde-
pendent armed force is so at odds with earlier Russian atti-
tudes that these features can hardly be taken seriously. It
used to be a favorite Kremlin sport to claim that the West
was allowing Germany too much freedom to rebuild.
Reduced to treaty terminology as concieved by Moscow
these items of bait probably would look less inviting to the
Germans. But in their present form they are hard for any
German leader to just sniff at.
We and our partners in the West have a tough chore
ahead—convincing the Germans that the roseate dream just
fabricated by the Russians is a snare and a delusion, with
s“thftaS * hSrthe de,ensive unity »n<i
Our noses, says a doctor, are becoming more pointed. All
the more reason to keep them out of other people’s business.

LfARNEY ORAVATH knocked the
1*1 card table endwise. The next
Instant he was standing over Dolly,
fists clenching at his sides, face
practically purple.
"You shut your foul, lying mouth.
Dolly," he roared. He shot a sudden
apologetic look at Jack Dumont—
"I'm sorry, Jack. But I won’t stand
for this. Even from your wife."
Dumont came out of the shock-
trance that had gripped us all. He
slipped forward, on light sure feet.
He took both of Dolly's elbows in
big brown hands, all but raised her
off the floor.
"Now," hie volos was a high whls
per. "that's enough. Will you walk
out of here or do I carry you out?”
"Just a minute!” Eve's voice rang
out. sharp and clear. "She can’t go
yet, after what’s she's said. I’m
entitled to an explanation."
Eve Wheeler was pretty mag-
nificent at that moment. She put
her cards down without any haste,
leisurely even. As leisurely she got
up. walked around a card table still
shaking from the jostling Cravath
had given it. She faced Dolly Du-
mont. And In some subtle manner
she made Dolly look cheap, silly
and melodramatic.
"I’m willing to make allowances.
Dolly," she said slowly, "for the
fact that you’re not yourself. I’m
even willing to forget that you’ve
embarrassed me, as I never hope
to be embarrassed again. But I
won’t let them take you away until
you make yourself a little more
clear, to me and everybody else.
After all"—attractive shoulders
lifted—"you’ve accused me of mur-
der. And not just one murder."
'Eve!" Behind a suddenly and ally'
strangely quiet Dolly, Dumont spoke.
Dumont’s face was red with morti-
fication and trickling red from Dol-
ly's scratches. "Forget It."
No, Jack," Eve was very calm.
‘We don’t. So, Dolly, what exactly
did you mean? You seem to think
that I killed Ames Warburton. Just
why I’d do that passes my under-
standing. But you also implied that
was very experienced . . . at/fclll-
Ing. Just who else did you have In
mind?"
* * *
XI AD Dolly hurled her accusations
XX cold sober. I might have sym-
pathized with her. Eve Wheeler was
entirely aelf-possessed, quite beauti-
ful. and even a little aloof, remote,
from us all.
Dolly stood, a suddenly spent force
sagging In her husband's grasp. Hair
loosened and slightly awry, cheeks
overdone and Upa flaccid, she was
a pitiful contrast to the cool, dark
woman who. with no visible effort,
had taken the play away from her!
Dolly Dumont ran an uncertain
tongue around her lipe, licked
and burst out, like a schoolgirl,
"Johnny Wyndham, that's who
You killed him too. Eve Wheeler
• • • Oh, g-get me out of here
can’t take any more."
Wjth an unexpectedness that
gave us still another shqck, tears
began streaming down her c
Dolly's fine punitive rage had
simply developed Into a ridiculous
crying jag.
It must have taken e lot of cour-
age on Jack Dumont’s part to come
back downstairs that night. But
he appeared, patches covering the
scratches Dollji had Inflicted, end
made a graceful little speech.
“Everybody here," Dumont «*M
briefly, “le owed an apology—you,
In particular, Eve. Ill m.v. lt
now. on behalf of ay wife. She
Isn’t”—his brown eyes wen bitter
—"in any condition to make It her
self."
Eve Wheeler's deprecating wave
came a split second ahead of a
similar one by Cravath. “Llaten,
Jack,” Eve aald, “forget lt. please!
I’m going to do Just that, and the
rest of you should be able to.”
* * *
TIE gave her a grateful look and
Al dropped Into a chair. He looked
suddenly tired, haggard even.
"IU forget It. sooner or later,"
he aald. “But you're entitled to some
sort of explanation. And as near
at I can make- out. here’s what
happened: Dolly seemed better this
afternoon end the nurse left her,
to catch up on sleep. But Dolly
well, she got out of bed, put on a
dressing-gown and slipped down.
To raid your sideboard, Mamey.
After she did that she heard voices
In the billiard-room. Yours and
Orth's, Eve. She evidently inveati
gated. And got some woolly Ideas.”
Eve Wheeler smiled thinly. “Just
for the record, she hasn't got a leg
to stand on. But a toe. maybe. I
was holding Jim Orth's hands.
Why, I can’t remember now. But
lt certainly wasn’t what she con-
strued lt to be. I’m probably old
enough to be Orth’s mother."
Well, I’ll take my own mother.
But. falling her, Eve Wheeler
wouldn’t have been so bad.
Eve.” said Jack Dumont, "I’m
not asking you to explain."
“I know. But since we seem to
be at It, In spite of what I said a
moment ago. perhaps I should say
a few words. I’m going to admit
now, very frankly that I saw Ames
Warburton In New York occasion-
He called me up once In a
mm*
while and dame to my apartment,
the same way that lota of my
friends do, young and old. But as
for there being anything more than
that to it . . . well, I’m not a cra-
dle-snatcher.”

son, now well advanced In yean,
on whose ranch la a man made
pond stocked with fine fish.
Age and arthritla have caught
up with this retired cattle baron
and rendered him no longer able
to fork a horse; and, belonging
to a breed who never walked ex-
cept behind the dead, he saw to
lt the approaches to his self de-
signed fishing hole wen a grad-
ual slope permitting him to drive
hla car to the water's edge. Now
the water's edge has receded and

Texans are accustomed to mov-
ing cattle from place to place for
feed and water but when lt comes
to moving fish to a more or leu
Inaccessible pond formed by
springs, lt poses a problem per-
plexing to a Texans direct and
forthright mind.
In the first place he must ad-
mit his beloved state has failed
to provide him with adequate
water, he must sacrifice his in-
dependence and ask his neighbor
to lend assistance In a project
from which pleasures derived
have not been shared with that
neighbor. Then too, while the
spring water is deep and cool lt
is surrounded by brush which will
most 'certainly make the fishing
difficult compared to the wide
clear sweep of land surrounding
his o^n pond. HU only alterna-
tive appears to be to let hU finny
tribe die an Ignominious u**it«s
death.
Neither hU wealth nor his In-
genuity can provide water and
water U what he must have.

UfASHINGTON, March 24— (NEA)
" —Demand* for a step-up of
the war against Communist China
have been causing a great deal of
strategic soul-searching In the Pen-
tagon. These demands have been
made by such leaders as Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Gover-
nor James F. Byrnes of South Car-
olina.
Both prefaced their remarks with
an expression of hope that peace
can be concluded in Korea, if it
can’t, they want a hotter war.
“Our Air Force should be direct-
ed to eeek out enemy (Chinese)
bases and destroy them. Our Navy
should blockade the porta of Com-
munist Chine,” declared Oovernor
Byrnes at Williamsburg. And he
added. "We should accept the eld
of 50,000 fighting men of National-
ist China."
'Renatar Taft In his Seattle speech
declared that a Chinese National
let invasion of the mainland was
the only chaqce of (topping a Com-
munist assault on South east Asia.
Earlier he declared in Washington,
"If the Xorean peace talks break
down completely, unfortunately I
don’t see any choice swept to fight
an all-out war against Red chine.”
One proposal has been to change
President Truman's order which
placed the UB. Seventh fleet in
the straits between Formosa and
the Chinese mainland, to neutralise
the nationalist Chinese-held island
base.
fTHESE proposals have drawn
A sharp counter-charges from
such Democratic politicians as Sen-
ator Kerr of Oklahoma, EUender of
Louisiana, 8parkman of Alabama
Magnueon of Washington and
Moody of Michigan. They charge
the Republicans, principally, with
wanting to start a “Taft war”
against Red China.
What therefore should be con-
sidered as a purely military and
foreign policy question has become
a political campaign issue.
No high military authority ap-
proached by this writer has been
willing to discuss these things on
the record. All want to stay *away
from any political fight. For back-
ground. however, they point out
some of the military factors In this
argument;
1. Assume the U.S. Seventh fleet
is withdrawn from the 80-mlle wide
Formosa straits and an attack on
China mainland Is launched by
Chinese Nationalist troops. They
will have to be carried across the
water In American ships. They will
have to be supplied with Arne;
weapons, ammunition and ral
2. The point Is made that II
UB. Seventh flSetT"were wlthdr
Formoas would.be a “sitting <
target for Communist aircraft.
Chinese Nationalist air force a
be no match. The only a]tern,
would be to protect the Islam
American air power.
3. The question of where thli
tra American air power would t
from merits some considers
The UB. Air Force expansion
gram has now been cut dowr
rather stretched out.
JIB present goal is to have a
* wing air force on hand by :
or maybe 1855. Tills Is consid
sufficient to provide a counter
fenslve striking- force in case
enemy attack, plus an adeq
UB. air deefnse. No reserves
provided for.
4. If UB. bombing of Manch
and Red China does become ne
sary and Is ordered, consider
damage can be inflicted. Air. bi
porta, railroads and other strat
targets could be attacked.
The Communists’ main pro*
tlon centers would not, however
reached by these attacks. T1
factories are not In Manchuria,
in Red China. They are In Rui
It might, therefore, take a boi
ing attack on the Soviet to deal
Red China's war potential.
5. Finally, there is widespread
lief that If any attack Is made
Red China, Soviet Russia wo
automatically bo brought into
Korean War as a full-scale part
pant.
