"When the state is most corrupt, then laws are most mul tiplied." - Tacitus.
Washington Conversations
Today the entire free world is keenly watching the Washington conversations between our President and Mr. Clement Attlee. The two most important leaders of the free world are now discussing, not only the problem of Korea, but apparently the basic problems that face all the free nations. The decisions which these men reach may very well write the pages of our rise or fall.
Many people have looked on Mr. Attlee's visit with apprehension, feeling that our British brothers have fallen down, and again are ready to appease a dictator. These people remember the famous "peace with honor" which Mr. Chamberlain sold Britain at Munich in letting Hitler have his way. History proved the gravity of that mistake.
We cannot afford to look on the conferences between Mr. Truman and Mr. Attlee with apathy. It is to be hoped that many of the basic problems which face the free world are now being thoroughly discussed and investigated. It is obvious by the length of the conferences and the men he brought with him that Mr. Attlee came to discuss more than Korea. Certainly, whether to withdraw our troops from Korea is a military question and not one to be handled by civilians or politicians.
There are bigger issues facing the political leaders: How to develop the Atlantic nations to a point where they can successfully resist Russian aggression; how to reconcile the fears of the French for the Germans in order to effectively mobilize the free nations of Europe; how much military and economic aid America can give the free nations and how much they will have to do for themselves; how to utilize Japan in this over-all preparation for defense; how to use and control the use of the A-bomb; what over-all strategy should be used in case the conflict begins?
There are of course many more problems that must be worked out for effective defense, but the above problems are the crux of all our problems. If these issues are discussed and conclusions and plans are made to cope with them, then the conference will have been successful.
Anything that achieves unity of action and purpose in this hour of need for quick and wise decisions will greatly enhance our chances to discourage Russian aggression, or meet it firmly and decisively on the field of battle.
If out of these conferences comes unity, then the free nations of the world can hail Mr. Attlee's visit as a great victory for unity, and can feel assured that we are ready to effectively face the issues.

While most schools are trying to fight off a boost in the price of a cup of coffee, students who eat in the college cafeteria at the University of Buffalo have a unique worry. The customary pickle enhancing the hamburger is now considered a separate item—a penny a pickle!

Iconoclastic Silo!
Sir:
When first the campanile was adopted as part of the World War II memorial we were sure no good would come of it, but not even we would have dared to suggest so outrageous a perpetration of faith as the removal of the Rock Chalk Cairn for the sake of the singing silo (in vernacular). Whatever excuses may be advanced can not stone for the fact that another noble tradition of the University has been cursorily dispatched for the upstart.
Perhaps one day some more eloquent of our colleagues will consecrate this feeling in an ode on the order of "Old Ironsides", but until that time we should, at least, like to give notice of our dissent to the
false notion that 'everything shall be acrificed for the idea of progress.' Two unregenerated Sachems, I. W. Elliott '47 Richard L. Pfister '48
Not Unanimous!
Dear Sir:
I did not sign the petition against the use of the Atom Bomb.

Editor's Note: Professor Limbacher wanted it made clear that the petition which was signed by 34 members of the English department was not endorsed by all the members of the department. (Total of faculty in English department—45.)
