Mail's Korean Peace Proposa!
Causing Wortd-Wide Specutation
THE TtMtNG WAS PERFECT—Whether or not Russia's Jacob A.
Maiik was sincere in his proposed ceasefire in Korea is a question that
onty time will answer, but of one thingf she people in tire home towns of
America were sure—the timing was pufcct.
The average man in the small towr.j of the country has a sincere de-
sire for peace. He is sure of a number ^.f things: (1) U.S. casualties now
number 73,600 and he wants his sons anA brothers home; (2) The war has
strained the nation's bipartisan foreign policy and threaten to cause an
even more serious interna] split; (3) and the war has increased the dan-
gers of inflation throughout the western world.
Perhaps the Russians realized these facts and picked the first an-
niversary of the start of the Korean war for their peace move. Hut the
move was unusual in that Malik made no reference to any of the Korean
peace conditions previously set by the Soviet bloc: a deal on Formosa,
admission of Communist China to the United Nations, and withdrawal of
foreign troops from Korea.
It could be that the Soviet is
sincere. But it could also be
that the Soviet recognized the
great propaganda potential-
ities of a peace move at this
time.
The home towners of the
< nation would do well to re-
member, however, that Rus-
sia is not officially in the
war. The next step is up to
the Chinese Communists. If
the Chinese, who have made
no comment on Malik's prop-
osition, indicate what he said
actually reflects a change in
their Korean policy and a de-
sire to end the fighting, then
the man on Main Street can
allow himself to hope for
peace.
However, if the Chinese ig-
nore the whole business, or
restate their earlier demands for U X. membership and control of For-
mosa, as the price for a Korean settlement, then the suspicion that Maiik
was more interested in making propaganda than in making peace wiii be
confirmed.
The U.S. state department has indicated a willingness to play its part
in bringing an end to the hostilities in Korea if Malik's offer "is more than
propaganda." But until there is some concrete evidence of sincerity in the
proposal the U.S. will act with caution.
At the moment that seems the only sensible attitude to adopt. It is one
the home towners may find best to follow.
THE BALANCE SHEET—As the first year of confiict ended in Korea,
the fighting was as bloody and dirty as the day it began. But the balance j
sheet would indicate the Communists have lost the first round in their
planned aggression.
On the credit side of the ledger: (!) The first U.N. battle force was j
raised and integrated in the initial bloody weeks; (2) the U.S. and her ;
allies were dynamited into world-wide alertness and rearmament; (3)
American military forces have learned valuable military lessons, developed
new techniques, and tested much of the enemy's strategy; (4) the west has
proved it will not abandon the small nations of Asia and Europe; and (5)
the North Korean army has been mangled and the Chinese have had star-
tling losses, estimated in all at 1,162,500 casualties.
On the other side of the ledger: (1) Allied casualties have been heavy
for peaceful nations (approximately 352,500); (2) most of the west's mili-
tary strength has been hobbled to a peninsula of secondary world-wide im-
portance; (3) the Russians have lost only one known combat man in bat-
tle; (4) conflict has hastened the financial drain and made inflation more
dangerous in the west; (5) Communists still retain the initiative, in Korea
and throughout the world.
THE YEAR OF tNFLATiON—Since the Korean war began on June 25,
1950, livestock prices in this country have increased $3 to $10 a hundred
pounds. At the same time, livestock production was much greater during
the past 12 months than the preceding twelve.
A year ago hogs were no higher than $20.50. Today they are selling at
$23.50, and last summer went to $25.50 a hundred pounds.
The cattle trade is about $6 a hundred pounds higher than a year ago
although production ran 20 per cent above the 12 months preceding the
start of the war. When the war broke out, steers were selling downward
from $31.50. Currently they are topping at $38.50.
Sheep and lamb production has changed slightly, but prices have de-
veloped much higher. Best lambs are about $34.50 now, down from $42.50
in March, but compared with $28.50 a year ago. Ewes are topping at $17.50
now, down from $25 in February, compared with $10.50 a year ago.

RECORD-BREAKtNG TAX—By a vote of 233 to 160, the house ap-
proved a record-breaking $7,200,000,000 tax increase, including a 12% per
cent boost in individual income tax.
The measure is now before the senate where the finance committee is
holding hearings. The senate is expected to approve the bill, possibly with
a few minor changes.
Here is where the government would collect the additional money;
Individuals, $2,847,000,000; corporate income and excess profits taxes,
$2,855,000,000; excise taxes, $1,252,000,000; and miscellaneous changes in
the revenue laws, $245,000,000.
PARtS TALKS END—After 16 weeks of futile talks, the deputy foreign
ministers of the United States, Britain, France and Russia broke off their
efforts to write a program of a big four conference to ease world tension.
But they left the door open for their governments to make one last at-
tempt to arrange a meeting of the big four foreign ministers, which has
been suggested for July 23 in Washington.
No one in the diplomatic world believed that the Russians would accept
the invitation.
Spray Keeps Vegetab!es Fresh a Year
down. Flavor and firmness are re-
tained for a long time, apparently
for about a year.
Scientists reported expetiments
were so successful they "could hard-
ly believe them possible." Crops are
sprayed before gathering. The spray
doea not affect the yield. It has been
used aucceaafully on potatoes, on-
ions, carrots, beets, parsnips and
turnips.
Results of experiments with a new
spray — meleic hydroxide — which
keeps potatoes, onions and several
other vegetables fresh for a year or
more, was reported by The Country
Gentleman.
The spray arrests growth. Grpwth
ia so alow after spraying that the
vegetables fail even to die at the
rapid rate normal during storage.
Every living process seems slowed
