If the Revolution had failed, instead of succeeding, they would have been convicted ol treason to the crown in the flick of the royal governor's kerchief--their names were their death warrant. That is hard to imagine 175 years later. Devotion to America is preserved in museums, not in men's souls.

The idea now is to get the big job, the big salary, the fine home. It is sdmehow ridiculous to think that a successful man should bother with running for City Council, or serve in the Legislature, or perhaps seek a career in Congress. There's no money in if. City Council jobs are for pensioners. The Legislature is a queer bunch down in Columbus which certainly does a lousy job of fixing up these roads.

Congress is something away down in Washington which is all the time thinking up more taxes. These are not the instruments of a self-governing people, designed by an inspired generation long ago to give expression to freedom. They are a vague tradition, probably necessary, but In no wise related to the world of business and fortune. We wouldn't recognize John Hancock, whose proudest moment was when he scrawled his name on the Declaration "big enough for the King to read without his But, then, he wouldn't recognize us, either. Safely Of A Doubt Right now seems to be the psychologically correct moment to remember that diplomacy frequently calls for making someone do something by seeming to be trying to do something else.

The facts of negotiation over an armistice in Korea, when they are known, probably will bear no resemblance to current speculation. One probability in particular will bear watching. It is the probability that all is not well between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. This would be in contradiction to the assumption that Moscow dictates' very move Peiping makes. Washington has been hoping for a falling out of these allies.

That has been at the bottom of its reluctance to make the Chinese commit themselves to a full-scale war in Asia. Even General MacArthur, though he wanted to widen the scope of the war against China, made a particular point in his address to Congress of the revolutionary surge in Asia. He said the United States must not block the Asiatics' desire for independence. There is no room in the Communist conspiracy for revolution. There would be no room in it for a Chinese government acting independently of Moscow.

China may have reached this conclusion, as it did a little less than 30 years ago when Chiang Kai-shek was Moscow's best hope for domination of China. Peiping may be trying to asset its independence of Moscow while seeming to be under Moscow's thumb. The agitation among Communists and some liberals against the majority decision of the Supreme Court in the Communist case is without foundation. What was before the court was a conspiracy to alter the nature of the government of the United States by infiltration, propaganda and intrigue. The assumption that a few obscure and ridiculous persons could not destroy the American government is untenable in the present state of the world.

These obscure and ridiculous persons represent the power of Soviet Russia, a mighty empire. They were selected by that power to do their fiendish work in the United States because, after special training and testing, they were regarded by their masters as suitable for the type of work they were designed to do. THEY ARE paVt of an international apparatus that since 1938 has overcome some 15 governments. Their associates have conquered China and recently garnered more than four million votes in The peril that this country has faced since 1933 has been this combination of a powerful government with a political party in this country which has been devoted to the cause of that government and antagonistic to the United States. Their newspaper, the Daily Worker, has never hidden its contempt and even hatred for the United States.

Chief Justice Vinson has made this clear in his decision: "Overthrow of the government by force and violence is certainly a substantial enough interest for the government to limit speech. Indeed, this is the ultimate value of any society, for if a society cannot protect its very structure frorn armed internal attack, it must follow that no subordinate value can be protected. "If, then, this interest may be protected, the literal problem which is presented is what has been meant by the use of the phrase, 'clear and present danger' of the utterances bringing about the evil within the power of Congress to punish. "Obviously, the words cannot mean that before the government may act it must wait until the putsch is about to be executed, the plans have been laid and the signal awaited. "If the government is aware that a group aiming at its overthrow is attempting to indoctrinate its members and to commit them to a courte whereby they will strike when the leaders feel the circum- The Public Will Not Be Damned Washington, D.

latest victim of a transportation strike, is applying lessons learned in Detroit, which recently weathered a two-month transportation strike without serious effects. Everything possible is being done to ease the movement and parking of private automobiles in Washington. The capital city is potentially able to move its thousands of workers to and from their jobs in this way, provided that the drivers of the cars arc given special consideration. That the basic lesson learned in Detroit-that the pubic will not be damned in a stoppage of public transportation, even in a large nty, if a chance to protect itself. This kind of strike against the public interest is losing its punch.

With the exception of a few large cities, transportation tie-ups are no longer emergencies, only inconveniences. Demonstration Via Liberia With the arrival of the first shipment of Liberian iron ore for the steel industry in the United States, a fact of interest is brought to light by the National Geographic Society. In 1822 the American Colonization Society bought the area now known as Liberia for six muskets, a barrel of gunpowder, six iron bars, 10 iron pots, a barrel of beads, two casks of tobacco, 12 knives, 12 forks, 12 spoons, a barrel of nails, a box of pipes, three mirrors, four hats, three walking sticks, a box of soap, a barrel of four hats, three pairs of shoes and several pieces of cloth. That was more than Liberia was worth in 1822. Its value today is the result of exploitation of its resources.

An undiscovered gold mine, an unplowed field, an unharnessed waterfall, or a mountain of iron ore is worthless until put to some use. That is the function of enterprise and capital. The secret of America's high standard of living has been the freedom to create actual wealth out of potential wealth. stances permit, action by the government is required." What some of the so-called liberals seem to desire is that the United States should paralyze its- self until it actually has faced revolution. The Hiss, Coplon and Remington cases should have been adequate warning.

Must we wait until our situation resembles that of Czechoslovakia and Hungary? Chief Justice Vinson replied to this; "Certainly an attempt to overthrow the government by force, even though doomed from the outset because of inadequate numbers or power of the revolutionists, is a sufficient evil for Congress to The damage which such attempts create both physically and politically to a nation, makes it impossible to measure the validity in terms of the probability of success, or the immediacy of a successful THE SMITH ACT was passed to defend the United States from Communism. As the chief justice says: "The obvious purpose of the sta tute is to protect existing govern ment, not from change by peace able, lawful and constitutiona means, but from change by vio lence, revolution and terrorism. "That it is within the power the Congress to protect the gov eminent of the United States from armed rebellion is a proposition which requires little discussion Whatever theoretical merit then may be to the argument that there is a 'right' to rebellion agains dictatorial governments, is with out force where the existing struc ture of the government provide for peaceful and orderly change "We reject any principle of gov ernmental helplessness in the fac of preparation for revolution, whic principle, carried to its logical con elusion, must lead to anarchy. "No one could conceive that over throw the government by force an violence. The question with whic we are concerned here is not whe ther Congress has such power, bu whether the means which it ha employed conflict with the Firs and Fifth amendments to the Con stitution." This is the isyue and those wh are denouncing the Supreme Cour decision are missing the point a together.

WASHINGTON Traditional diplomats are going around muttering to themselves about the methods of diplomacy involved In the efforts to end the war in Korea. The methods don't fit the pattern worked out over hundreds ol years that such things should be handled secretly. Anybody in the world who is interested can have a front row seat on the exchange of messages, or has been able to have up to now.

There are some people in influential positions in the State Department who believe the time is about here to cut out this way of doing business and get back to the protective coverings of secret Some in fact appear to be sincerely convinced that is the only way in which effective agreements necessary to a Korean settlement can be worked out. But there is another school of thought in the State Department which holds that in dealing with adversaries who are as clever as the Soviets in combining politics and propaganda, a maximum of public information is one the requirements of good negotiations. There are also some officials who contend that the public in the United States and other friendly countries is entitled to maximum possible information upon which to form judgments. At any rate, it was Russia's Jacob Malik, Kremlin representative at the United Nations, who started the present maneuvers. As a prelude to Malik, it is necessary to recall that Secretary of State Dean Achcson and other administration officials during the MacArthur hearings had repeatedly put out peace feelers, publicly expressing willingness to end the fighting along the 38th Parallel.

The State Department's voice of America had been telling the world since early June that if Russia wanted peace in Korea all it had to do was press a button--the United Nations governments were ready for a settlement on reasonable terms. Most important of all. of course, was the fact that China's massive armies had been badly chewed up. Western firepower had proved too much for them and there was strong belief here that sooner or later the Red generals, if not the Red politicians, would conclude they could not win a total victory in Korea. Speaking on a United Nations radio program, Malik called for a truce and said the Russian people were certain one could be established.

Four days later in a well-publicized exchange with Moscow, the United States learned that the Russian government supported Malik's expression of confidence in the pos- Still The World's Brightest Hope sibility of an armistice and ha some definite ideas on how to a range it. Two days later, Gen, Matthew 1 Ridgway on instructions from Was ington issued a message to th Communist commander in Korea-whoever that might be--saying was willing to send representatives to a meeting to talk about ending the fighting. The most direct method of getting that to the person to whom it was addressed was by radio, and this was done. SUNDAY, in mid-morning, the peiping radio, Communist China's mouthpiece, began forecasting an important announcement in a short time an eventually it came; "Here is important news from the Korean front." That introduction led into the text of the message from the Chinese and Korean commanders in Korea telling Ridgway they are willing to send representatives to a meeting. Washington found out about this not through the round about channels of secret diplomacy, but from its own radio listening stations abroad.

As one official said, that is quite a change from the old days. "Once if you wanted to make peace you would go off in a corner and whisper with an enemy emissary while the world's attention was diverted elsewhere. Now if you want peace apparently the tiling to do is get out and yell about it in the loudest voice you can command." (The Assoclntcd Good News Encouraging indications of decline in cancer mortality are reported by statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Favorable developments in the cancer picture are most evident, the statisticians point out, when the recent trend of mortality is studied according to whether the primary site of the disease is accessible or inaccessible to diagnosis. For the accessible sites as a group, both men and women in the insurance experience recorded declines in the death rate from 194647 to 1949-50, men by 2 4 per cent and women by 7.2.

There was a reduction in female mortality from almost all the accessible specific types of cancer. In the case of the' inaccessible sites as a whole, the death rate among women declined 1.1 per cent, but, on the other hand, that among men showed an increase of 4 per cent. However, both sexes showed decreases for such specific sites as the stomach, intestines, other digestive organs, bladder and liver. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1951. Once Over By II.

I. Phillips Only A Pause In The Bigger Struggle WASHINGTON Cease-fire in Korea will be only a pause in the bigger struggle with Russia. Anyone who looks for an end to that one in the foreseeable future is suffering the grand illusion. Some kind of peace may be restored in Korea and we may be able to claim we did what we set out to do--stop the Communist aggression south of the 38th Parallel. But it's too soon to bank on peace even in Korea.

There may be months of haggling. And how we make out in that remains to be seen. Why the Russians and Chinese were willing to call off the shooting just now can only be guessed. Certainly, the Chinese had suffered enormous losses and were losing face In Asia. RUSSIA HAD suffered damage in Korea, too.

Until Korea, communism had taken over country after country from the inside. Through greed to take all Asia in a hurry, or arrogance in the belief the West didn't dare move, the Communists decided that in Korea they would attack for the first time. It was a good place to test the United States, to see how far it was willing to go to stop communism. If it didn't move into Korea, the rest of the world would lose faith in this country, thus making Communist conquests elsewhere easier. This country not only went into Korea, but brought itfc allies along.

Worse, for Russia, the U.S. and its allies in Europe began to arm against Russia. The S. went halfway toward a footing. The shock of Korea speeded its arms program by many months, a great advantage if war with Russia itself broke out.

And, again worse for Russia, the mood of this country darkened as the Korean fighting went on, showing this country was willing, if necessary, to make much fiercer war, even if it meant war with Russia, as the Senato inquiry into the firing of General MacArthur showed. By James Marlow While the general was all for making the fiercer war now, the Truman administration held back, hoping it could be avoided through some kind of peace, in Korea. This realization provided the Russians with a good psychological time for suggesting cease-fire. They could expect the Truman administration to welcome the peace offer since the administration could claim its policy in Korea was vindicated. The Russians could expect the rest of the U.S.

to welcome peace, too. There never has been great enthusiasm in this country for the Korean war. The Americans undertook It as a moral obligation and extreme since Korea is so distant, of self-protection against Communist expansion. ALL IN ALL, it wasn't a bad time for the Russians to suggest cease-fire in Korea. Blocked there temporarily, they can push elsewhere.

It's unlikely they will stop pushing. Having learned a lesson in Korea, next time they may try internal overthrow again, instead of attack. And for the following reasons cease-fire in Korea may not only benefit the Russians but help them undo some of the damage they suffered in Korea; If this country and its allies, yearning for life as usual, slow up in rearming; if this country and its allies, pretty well united now, quarrel among themselves, weakening their alliance against Russia. Such a split might come in a dispute over Korean peace terms. After six months of peace--if Russia moves elsewhere, short'of armed attack--this country's present angry mood may have softened, making it less willing to intervene than it would be now.

An election year is coming up. Americans, particularly their politicians, may be so divided on foreign policy that the Russians can help themselves to gravy while we try to make up our minds on what to do and how to do it. And if through poor planning and bad foresight the economy of the U.S. and its allies is weakened by inflation, the Russians will win another round without firing a shot.

Even though it always is claimed that everybody was in the right. the fact is that somebody must have been in the wrong, or there would not have been an accident.
