World Mistrust
Must Be Curbed
We can kiss this world goodbye unless we
begin to see a way through our common mis
trusts and hatreds and effectively control the
armament programs of the world. For all its
scientific advances—both in technological pro
cesses and in the study of human behavior
20th century civilization is rapidly approaching
its end. And we do not mean chronologically.
This isn't pure pessimism either,. but the
result of an appraisal of the facts and frictions
of today. In Korea, the proving ground for
weapons that could be used in World War 111,
the free world showed communism that it will
take armed action to prevent further infiltra
tion. By that armed resistance the free world
may have altered the day on which World
War 111 should have started.
In another corner of the world the British sit
on a ditch and refuse to move. This in turn
irritates a group of Moslems, numbering mil
lions, from Morocco to India. That situation
stems from the inability of delegates to sit in
conference and reach suitable solutions.
One more example is the disarmament talks
between the U.S., France, Britain, and Russia.
The conference is loaded with mistrust of Rus
sia by the others and the others by Russia. And
as' usual there are two sides to the story.
The West wants international inspectors to
have the right to make spot checks of atomic
plants anytime, anywhere, and without advance
notice. Russia agrees up to the point of inspec
tions at will. She said that would lead to domi
nation of a nation's atomic plants by outsiders.
Neither side has a leg to stand on and to hold
up
_disarmament.
The point to be made here is this: does it
seem possible that one group of atom inspec
tors could swoop in so rapidly to catch some
culprit making illegal atoms? How could any na
tion explain away to the inspectors a big - atom
plant, all shiny and new and just shouting of
being used recently? Which leads to the ques
tion, why, if any nation so wished, couldn't the
plants be hidden underground or in some of the
remote places of the world?
A compromise must be made to get !disar
mament started. Russia is willing to open her
doors to an inspection team. A couple of years
ago she wouldn't even peimit that, so let's
not run the horse into the ground quibbling
over the rapidity with which the inspectors
can enter a country. Let's take a chance with .
this beginning. The only other thing to do is
get ready to ,kiss the world goodbye.

Independent Men
The Only Rowdies?
The letter from John Laubach, .president of
the Association of Independent Men, to dormi
tory council presidents seems to contain quite
a few hasty generalizations and implications.
First: We would like to have Mr. Laubach
explain further his statement concerning the
"riotous conduct" of independent students.
Can the riotous conduct at football games be
blamed entirely on independent students, as
his letter implies?' -
Second: IF "many" Penn State coeds prefer to
date fraternity men rather than independent
men, as the president of AlM'asserts, should we
assume that this' is entirely due to an alleged
refinement of conduct in fraternity men?
Third: Is there . much sense in holding up the
pledge system as one that instills a high stand
ard of conduct in students? Hell week and
other similar zany programs seem to contradict
the impression that the pledge system is one
that forms a basis for good conduct.
We heartily approve of Mr. Laubach's crusade
to improve the conduct of the students at Penn,
State, but we vehemently protest his method
of achieving this end; that is, slurring that por
tion of the student body which he represents on
campus
The Military Mind
NEW YORK—Gen. Douglas MacArthur told
a meeting of the New York touchdown club
that football is a great builder of battlefield
leaders.
Did it ever occur to the General that football
might better serve the nation by building men
who might contribute to making peace?

Iran Brew Is
Boiling Over
The brew concocted by Dr. Mossadegh's extreme Nationalists
in Iran is beginning to boil over, as expected, and the brewers stand
to get scalded along with the rest of the country.
True to their normal two-faced form, the Communists at first
supported the Nationalists in order to get the brew boiling.
Riding the crest of ignorance and anti-British' feeling, as the
demagogues always do, Iran blind
ly stuck her neck into a noose.
In a strange mood which Western
peoples find hard to understand,
she preferred economic and per
haps political suicide to a straight,
business deal with Britain over
the oil.
Needs Money
Now the government is in des
perate straits for money, and, the
country is running on a currency
which has practically no material
backing. The wildest sort of in
flation appears to be in.the Offing,
with the government seemingly
powerless to extract higher taxes
from the very rich, or to do any
thing for' the very poor,.the only
two classes of citizens in Iran.
As always in these twisted sit
uations, the Communists have
been ready. Where they once led

Thursday's rioting may be taken
