Now we have Four Monkeys. You know wna any such conference, it said, until it had been admitted to the United Nations. Since the United States leads the fight to keep Red China out of UN, it could be said that we are responsible for frustrating world peace.

It not only could be said; we have groups in this country who will say it. They are the people who think we can bring peace to Viet Nam by withdrawing. They are the people who think that the release of two American prisoners was a sincere Viet Cong act and that what these men had to say while in Cambodian custody was straight thinking straight from the heart. Even Sanford Gottlieb, who organized the recent March on Washington for the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, could not swallow tjhat. It Is, first, difficult to know what the Chinese reds mean by being admitted to 3he United Nations.

The usual way to be admitted is to be approved by the General Assembly upon recommendation by the Security Council. When the question of Chinese admission was before the world, organization, however, members of UN were not stipulating terms under which they would vote approval of the Chinese. The Chinese were stipulating terms to be met by UN before they would accept membership. These terms included an apology for censuring them for their part in the Korean War; kicking Nationalist China out of UN; and expelling an assortment of unnamed countries whose "crime" is opposition to communism. We might be Included In that category.

Chinese admission on Peking's stated terms would be Impossible and have nothing whatever to do with United States opposition. After that the relations between China and the Soviet Union must be considered. Peking has just declared political war against Moscow. It is to be a war between Che true religionists of Marx -Leninism the Chinese and the Khrushchevian revisionists the Russians. The Chinese have offered only one way to heal the rupture.

Dirt Is Not Cheap The 1965 farm bill has taken Its place with all the other farm bills as a measure that will cause more people to find fault with it than approve of it. Why was passed? Well, that is a good question and the explanation may be found in the argument of an Iowa representative delivered to the House. This man, It is reported, brought in for display a 5-pound bag of corn meal priced to sell for 49 cents. He also held up a 5-pound bag of potting soil bearing a 69-cent price tag.
