The former defense in Not unexpectedly, ment is responding Without bearing these grim facts continuously in nund, President Nixons diplomatic successes of the last 12. months cannot even be dimly understood. It was the Soviet threat on the frontier that caused the Chinese to invite the President to Peking. It was the journey to Peking which made it possible for the President to make another triumphant the same token, these same most unpalatable facts should be the main considerations in the combined Senate debate about the SALT agreement and about President Nixons request for more funds for the U.S. strategic forces. Even Senator J. William Fulbright has a duty, after all, to answer the key question hanging over this debate. By The key question is why the Soviets paid such a high price to welcome Presiand no one should forget dent Nixon that the price was inordinately high, because of the port blockade and bombing in North Vietnam! The answer to that question lies in China. When the President and his party were in Moscow, the Soviet leaders and negotiators were the topic of Soviet actions in Western Europe and the Soviet unaction in the Middle East. Story Goes On Nor is that the end of this grim story. In one of his astonishing press conferences in Russia the climactic one in Kiev Dr. Henry A. Kissinger said forthrightly that he was not rejecting the possibility that the various agreements at Moscow were intended by the Soviets as a tactical device to lull certain people. i Smce returning both the President and Dr. Kissinger have gone even further on the same line. "Gainuig a free hand to deal with China has m truth been described as the primary Soviet aim. In other words, the Moscow summit has to be seen, at least in part, as the principal episode in a v ast Soviet tranquihzation plan. In addition, this plan has of course included the It has to be faced, further, that the way the Soviets art preparing to deal with China is by naked military force. What men and nations prepare to do, rr.av not always get done m the end. But anyone is a fool who says, It will never be done, even though the preparations are plainly being made at enurmous cost. downright China. on obsessive fn-n- There are some other facts to face, cannot undertake the nuof China, and then just stop there. If they destroy Chinas nuclear power before it grows too big to suit them, that act alone will transtorm the world we live in. Other, equally brutal Soviet moves, in the vulnerable and vital Persian Gulf, for example, will surely have to be expected if all the rules of the game are so abruptly and crudely too. The Soviets Mo-co- clear castration T.R. Van Dellen Dr. changed. This is why Dr. Kissinger and Prune Minister Chou En-la- i have undoubtedly been discussing how to deter the Sov iets from doing what they are preparing to do. This is also why the current mood of the U.S. Senate verges on actual imbecility. There will be no better way to encourage the Soviets to be resolutely brutal, than to reject the Presidents proposals tor modernizing our own strategic forces. That is the sort of thing the Soviets always understand, and always slow down tor, just as the Soviets have unfailingly reacted by a grab for new advantages whenever the U.S. has recklessly begun disarming. Rightly handled, in fact, v hat has happened can prove the door to a much better world. But wrongly handled, it can lead to a radically novei situation of the direst danger.

Those issues have been argely overwhelmed by an angry dispute over the Nixon administrations total unwillingness to have the federal judiciary as a partner in the management and control of secret listening.

But when stroke occurs, the first consideration is to save the victims life. By this time, the die is cast and recovery depends upon the extent of the damage and the over-al- l physical, mental, and emotional status of the victim before the stroke. McGovern has picked up his specious radical reputation principally because of his opposition to the war. However, division on that question doesnt separate the light from the left, but the smart from the stupid. There have been a lot of d strokes. a basis that he will return the corporation tax to the level of the last year of the Eisenhower Administration may be many things, but lie is not a radical. Hes Not a Lefty j Bv Nicholas Von Hoffman The other night, after his successful theatrical in New Yorks money-raisinMadison Square Garden, Sen. McGovern and some of his richer and more famous Hollywood supporters retreated to a party at the Pour Seasons Restaurant. It was a peculiar place for a champion of that will unite their own followers and do most damage to the other side. Building Land Nationalization Labors left wing has conducted a militant campaign designed to force the party into a sharp turn leftward and nationalization of building land would ideally suit tlieir credo. It might, but just might and that is all, strike a note popular enough to be more of a help than a hindrance. Shortage of building land has been blamed as a root cause of the great inflation of property values in Britain, in the last year particularly. And as prices of homes have risen precipitately, property developers have faced accusations ef sharp practices at the expense of the general public. The price of lard meanwhile has duplicated itself as much as several times over. It can be assumed that a wily Harold tho Labor party leader, is watchsituation keenly, however, and will play balance, between the advantages and a widespread distaste among the British public for Wilson, ing the that he possible Firms to Nationalize Labors left would nationalize the FACTORY CLOSEOUTS Samsonite the insurance companies, the and even large sections of the building industry. banks, SAMSONITE SUPER SHERBROOKE AIRPLANE LUGGAGE biiUding societies Lades Bea.ty Case .... $40 00 45.00 LadiesONite 24 Ladies pj.'iran Case 50.00 e 26Pu'ln-anCas60.00 0.00 2SPul!manCase Lad es' Petite Tcte 32.00 But just what is meant by nationalizing building land is something of a puzzler. If it were limited to putting strict rules of profit, say, on land offered for building purposes, it might well have public appeal. However, if it meant no property could be built upon except through a government agency, it might well infuriate a large mass of Hie people. One exception to this should be emphasized. There are huge property estates in the hands of some very few in Britain and there is no great public love for this state of affairs. At all events Labor will go through a inperiod of hard study and quite some ternal jockeying before its ann"al conference in October. Meanwhile the Tories, pressed in a sense as hard by their right wing which alleges Edward Heaths government has already bent too much toward government financial aid for industries of questionable stability, are hard at work discussing their own internal affairs and their futiue policies, too. - - 2995 Lad.es 3295 r.ensCarry-G- 38 95 4495 505 21.95 Handi-Tat- 35.00 50.00 e n Molded Beautiful Airplane Luggage ' FACTORY SAMPLES & IRREGULARS off LADIES' and MIN'S Beauty Cose 21" Companion 24" Pullmon 26"Puiiman Three Suiter.,., lt.
