It-is a kind of unreality that, like very tapid sleight-of hand, defies the eye and the ear. i There may be a parallel in the traditional theatre of China.

You put vp a stick on the stage and announce that this Is a grove of trees; this is the shoreline and this ot other stick is a shipl So here Is whatls labeled truth, what Is labeled, lie and what is called debate have the sathe relation reality. 1 But behind the controversy: over Rule 3 Paragraph 19, which moves like an old-fashioned quadrille, is on frightening and inescapable reality. It iithe plain Intention of communism to move Ion to new aggression in Asia. Everything that the past 20 years should have taught to recognize this lntentiorf In the words efiJicob Malik, 1 the Russian delegate. It Is the strategy of thtf dictator to accuse the enemy off those act of aggression which thf dictator intend to commit or Inspire.

Wherever Malik in his long harangue used the name of the United States as intending to "pocket" Formosa to flood arms into Indo-China, to seize the Philippines, ne can substitute th word' communism. Then the pattern dfth future become ominously 'tf AFTER WHAT HAS BEN SAID her no one can have any doubt about why Russia returned to the United Nation. It ia ln he first Instance to use ithe. U.N.. aa a sounding board for Russias peace propaganda.

Part of this effort is to build the United States as the aggressor. I Then when communism strikes again, the Russians will be prepared tc fight against any concerted U.N. action such as took place with respect to Korea, The Russians will use the veto and every other Instru-' ment of delay and obstruction. -In my opinion the next blow be aimed at Formosa, and it come Malik devoted at least one-tenth of hi coldblooded harangue to Americas designs on Formosa, dealing specifically with the United States Seventh, Fleet, which Is trying to maintain a neutrality patrol between the Island and -the mainland j-If the Seventh Fleet succeeds In stepping the Invasion, then the propaganda, against the American imperialists can be stepped up to an even thriller pitch. If the invaders get through and American forces are committed to the aid of the Nationalist Chinese on Formosa then Russia can sit tack and watch the United States become more more deeply Involved with the mil ions upon millions of Red Chinese soldiers.

That will be a carefully calculated trap, to draw in more of Americas tragically small reserve of military strength. In view of all this It may bej the moment to consider taking jine final atp of reshaping the United Nations -without the Soviet Union. Most thoughtful Americans have' shied away from such a step They have clung to the belief that as long as Russia stayed iithe UN, the hope of solution: still remained. Bucthat hope may' now have passed and thetim may have come to saSr frankly. Maliks every word seems to show thjt this Am the case.

Feast and Famine' 1 i The artistic-minded Berkshire native, at point, must be suffering his annual "midsummer frustration of not knowing which way to turn next, with only 24 hours a day to, enjoy the rich fare spread before him. Even the most energetic must resist some of the enticements of Jacobs Pillow, Tanglewood, the Berkshire Playhouse, Malden Bridge, i Music Mountain, the art exhibits, etc.

It Is unfortunate that this artistic feast could not bedspread 'more thinly and digested more leisurely, at least as far as the films are concerned. But the sad fact is that the small ranks of local people who will support art films apparently need the reinforcement of summer visitors to make a showing feasible.

4 Hoof and Mouth Disease Beaten by Inoculation In a world fulf of worry and alarms, It is pleasing to learn that a disease that only two yjears ago seemed to pose a threat to the entire UJ5. cattle industry, appears to have been conquered. Hoof and mouth disease ir one of the i most contagious and to treat of all animal epizootics. Introduced into iexico by seme, Brazilian cattle imported against a UJ5. warning, the dis-' ease began to spread In the emergency the Mexican government called in the UJS.

Department cf Agriculture, hich advised It that the only sure metitod was to kill the Infected animals. So a program cf examination and slaughter began. Ln a short time it became clear that the slaughter method would not work. The Mexican farmers resented the kill-. irg' cf apparently healthy animals and expressed their resentment first, by hiding their cattle and, second, by shooting the government officials who did the slaughtering.

The government was thus forced to charge its method, and substituted inoculation. The reason inoculation had net teen v'cd at first was that the effect of one' Injection lasts cnly four months, insufficient time to eradicate1 the disease from fin area.
