' OGDEN UTAH SUNDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 13 1853 It's Good to Tell Aggressors Secretary of State Dulles knows that aggressors sometimes blunder into wars because they do not understand what other nations will do or can do He does not want the United States to be misunderstood either as to its strength or as to its intentions Consequently in his American Legion speech at St Louis the secretary bluntly warned the Communist Chinese that any further aggressions by them in either Korea or IndoChina would make it' virtually impossible to confine the combat to those theaters In other words he told them a more general war would be the likely prospect with the United States taking off the wraps and assaulting heretofore unmolested Chinese air bases in the “privileged sanctuary” of Manchuria That is language which certainly ought to be grasped in Peiping and Moscow too If we had talked that way before June 1950 the North Koreans very likely would not have invaded South Korea But we gave the Reds an open invitation when we said Korea lay beyond our defense perimeter If we could have made clear to the Japanese and the Germans what tremendous industrial might they would be taking on in waging war against us they might never have begun their foolhardy military adventures There is absolutely no excuse in these perilous times for not making it plain to any potential aggressor exactly where we stand Some of our allies object to this kind of talk as “too tough” They suggest that it might scare off the Reds just at the time when we are trying to get them to negotiate the future of Korea and Germany and Austria But Dulles at St Louis stressed that we are always ready to negotiate in good faith We are not seeking war nor are we threatening anyone We are merely letting others know what they may expect if they attack free countries whose securirty we consider vital to the free world’s and our own As Dulles said this country must exercise leadership according to its own ideals and traditions Certainly it must accommodate to the attitudes and policies of its allies But It cannot conduct foreign policy merely to taking international public opinion polls and doing what might make America most popular Not much we do or say these days is popular in Europe and Asia But we still must try to carve out a policy we think will prevent war After all the policies pursued by our worried friends abroad did not forestall the two great wars We have earned :the right to try some new ideas And one very good one is to let an aggressor know what he’s up against -- The 'German election figures show an increase of 6000000 votes over 1949: of these Dr Adenauer's party the Christian Democrats got 9000000 and tjie Social Democrats got 1000000 Since all the minor parties combined got about the same total vote as in 1949 Dr Adenauer's big plurality was drawn it would therefore appear from the new voters They were not won over as many observers had feared to the and only one in six went to the Socialists A most significant and encouraging result of the election is that West Germany is now so much nearer than it was to a system The genuine two big parties together had only 60 per cent of the vote in 1949 and now they have nearly 75 per cent As they are both of them genuinely devoted to lawful government as the Federal constitution is- admirably designed to insure- - a stable administration the political outlook is healthy and favorable The great and growing power of Germany is for the time being secure against the extremists and the adventurers There is no way of telling what part foreign policy played in the election Does anyone know what part Korea played in our election? But what we can tell I do think is that in the development’ of his own foreign policy Dr Adenauer displayed such a very high order of statesmanship that he left his Social Democratic opponents without a genuine issue Was in Bad Shape Until last May Dr Adenauer was in bad shape for a contest in the field of foreign policy against the Social Democrats Although he is a sincere believer in European unity he was in fact entangled in commitments which if they were carried out at face value meant the permanent partition and endless military occupation of Germany There was no future for Germany or for Europe in that and it is safe to say that if that had been what Dr Adenauer offered Germans in Sunday’s election he would have gone down as did Schuman in France and DeGas-per- i in Italy before him This did not happen because he disentangled himself withdrew from the indefensible ground and then took his stand on a radically new ground Two events must I believe have played a decisive part in the alteration of his foreign policy One was the uprising in Eastern Germany The other was Churchill’s speech on May 11 The uprising which was largely the work of the Social Democratic trade unionists removed all doubt that unification is the paramount and burning German demand Until then Dr Adenauer’s party which is not strong in the Protestant East had shown a conspicuous lack of fervor for ' Cautiously- one may hazard that Iran seems headed - back toward an orderly government with Royalist forces in command Former Premier Mossadegh’s surrender evidently concludes at least this phase of the political storm Few liithe West 'will bemoan Mossadegh’s departure from the seat of Iranian power He was the rigid symbol of fanatic nationalism in his country He made himself the foe of even the smallest compromise with Britain on the vital oil question And with every passing day h© became more ruthless in the devices he used' to maintain and i increase his grip on the government " Toward the end he reduced the Iranian parliament to Impotence But still he viewed its very existence as a threat So backed by a rigged vote Of Die people he dissolved the parliament Worse Jo solidify his position flirting with the Tudeh the Iranian Communist Party He ‘accepted Tudeh assistance in combating his most active enemies Ignoring Jhe grave national danger intolve’d in this tactic Observers believe this flirtation contributed heavily to Mossadegh’s downfall Wealthy landlords and some elements in the army took alarm Theysaw themselves and the protection they gain from the mbnarch slipping into the Communist shadow J The young- Shah though openly supported by many elements including Jower echelons ofjhe army remained indecisive until pushed to the limit At‘the eleventh hour enf he ordered a coup against Mossadegh But a abled the latter to nip it in the bud The Shah quickly fled ‘ the country Ironically this somewhat less than courageous act seemed to dramatize for the Iranians what Mossadegh had done to them With their monarch gone they erupted in fresh revolt this time successfully The Shah is an avowed friend of the West In theory his followers ought to bring an improvement of Iranian-Wester- n relations- - possibly even solution o& the oil dispute But only a bold man would flatly forecast this hopeful sequel "One big question mark is what will be the shape and direction Of Iran’s flaming nationalism now? With the situation more fluid than in many months an extremist explosion is not beyond possibility By the same token Jhe Communist Tudeh may be emboldened to make their grab for power We had better wait and watch quietly for a while before we start proclaiming what a fine thing this is for the West and the free world : he-bega- n -- -

17 it was necessary to have a policy which made sense for achieving unification It was however evident that Russia would never agree to withdraw the Red army and let Germany be unified and rearmed within the NATO military system Since that would bring German-America- n military forces to the Polish frontier it was silly to ask the Russians to consider such a project Dr Adenauer must have known perfectly well that the Germans who are not fools — least of all-i- n military matters — would know it was silly They would know that any German who proposed it could not be sincerely interested in Ger' man unity If Dr Adenauer was to take a convincing stand for German unity he had to take a convincing stand in favor of negotiation with Ihe Soviet Union’ But in Europe where people know the facts of life it was not' enough to call for a negotiation aboutunity It was not enough to make a negotiable proposal — not necessarily a proposal that the Russians would now accept but they could eventually accept This is where Churchill comes into it His great and original contribution to the problem of the division of Germany and of Europe was not in the proposal to hold a high level conference It was in the recognition — the first by any Western statesman since the cold war began —that if the Russians are ever to be induced to withdraw from Europe they will have to be given a guarantee that Eastern Europe will not become the staging area and recruiting ground for an crusade Churchill put out this crucial idea in the form of a suggestion of another Locarno Treaty The reference was obscure because most people including I believe Dr Adenauer himself had forgotten-what Locarno was The reference moreover was not apt But what Churchill meant was of the greatest importance: that Russia can be expected to withdraw peaceably from Europe only if her security is guaranteed At first Dr Adenauer was puzzled by the reference to Locarno But when he had grasped Churchill’s meaning one may suppose after his visit to London he adopted the idea as one of the cornerstones - of - his own policy On the Friday before the election he proposed to negotiate with the Russians over the European - Defense Community and the regional alliances of the Soviet orbit for the purpose of working out some sort of general security system within the framework of the United Nations ’ -

Surely they must know what goes on inside Everybody else seems to” There is seldom a case of law breaking in a cafe tavern rooming house or other place open to the public without police knowledge But what seems not to be too well known Is that police try to wiii cooperation of violators before taking them to the station Enforcement’ City Manager E J Allison calls this procedure enforcement” It isn’t a spectacular way to do things And it doesn’t often make headlines in the press But it does a lot of good much more than meets the eyes of super-critic- s of law enforcement the city manager feels “When police find it necessary to go out and make a big ‘crackdown’ noisy citywide raid this often is a sign that the laws haven’t been enforced as a daily matter” he said The first Job of the police department is to see that laws are obeyed It is not the first job to make arrests Mr Allison says this is the important thing for his officers to remember HiS 14 years’’ experience as city manager has illustrated “co-operati- he said that more laws are enobeyed through forcement than through forced enforcement Program Fizzled In a recent Ogden case the encity put on a forcement program that fizzled So police went out and arrested the violator Now he may pay through the nose with a stiff fine This man had been allowing his pinbiall machines to pay off in money for some time The city asked his close friends to urge him to quit He was “reached” through a high city official and even through his church But he didn’t stop The news last week that Mayor Frost wouldn’t ask to be to the City Council was received with disappointment by many Some of his early critics were among these Ever so many of the folks who work for the city said “I’m sorry to hear that George was a good man” ' The mayor said he had too much to do in church and his business to stay on with the city Mr Frost became mayor during those frustrating days when’ Ogden was changing its government from the city comr mission to the forms The line of authority dividing the duties of the council 'and the city manager was pretty blurred then because every ’re-electe- " -- -- body was new at it Even today after nearly two years that line is still tricky as the “experts” have found In those embryonic days our mayor made his share of blunder “But he took it on the chin and never once lost his enthusiasm for good government said Ernest R McKay his friend end political rival in recent years “Never once tried to put’ the blame on others George always stood up and took itrlike a man” The city is giving more than casual consideration to of keeping Lorin Farr Park swimming pool open ' all yeai?
