We are being "snowed" with propaganda again.
Russia is feigning a new interest in peace. Radio Moscow claims that the Soviet Union is ready "to negotiate for the establishing of a stable peace in Asia and in Europe." Now, with U.S. forces in possession of the Southern Korean strongholds which Communists overran, the peace plea seems a convenient device for Russia.
We may not be gullible enough to relax now that good news is coming from Korea, however. Gen. Omar Bradley rightly believes the greatest danger confronting the western world is that it will "let its guard down once United Nations success has been achieved in Korea."
Five years ago German and Japanese armies surrendered to an illsorted coalition including Russia, one of Hitler's original allies. And for five years it has been obvious that for Russia World War II was merely the middle act in a long-term plan to liquidate all her potential enemies.
In sharp contrast to the definite aims and intentions of Communistic ideals, the U.S. has been extremely indefinite in deciding upon a foreign policy. First, we allow no intervention anywhere in Asia; second, intervention with limited military aid; third, intervention only with air and naval forces; fourth, intervention with ground forces; and finally, intervention only to drive the North Korean armies again behind the 38th parallel.
Now, a new challenge to diplomacy faces us. Should we send our forces across the 38th parallel? In an effort to prevent such action, North Korea has reportedly forwarded peace feelers to India. Whether the offers are merely to suffice as a trial balloon has not been determined. It seems, however that the Communists are ripe for an armistice move, the terms of which we should be allowed to phrase.
Hesitant to enlarge this World War $ \mathrm{II} _ {1 / 2} $ into a third global battle, we may stop playing soldier too soon. Certainly we should not wear the description which Corinthians allotted to their allies 2.400 years ago:
"You are a people who never do anything. On the approach of an enemy you are content to defend yourselves, not by acts, but by intentions, and to overthrow him, not in the infancy, but in the fullness of his strength."
Kansan Comments
Couldn't help raising an eyebrow when we heard that the football official who declared a blocking penalty on Charlie Hoag's 89-yard run is a Texas man.
Kansas City high school officials are worried about a slack in R.O.T.C enrollment while army brass at Syracuse university are saying, "Thanks, but no thanks" to a number of applicants. The students turned away were disqualified because of their classification. . . co-eds.

Korean History - In A Nutshell
Korea's history goes back more than 2,000 years. She was a civilized country in the days of the Roman Empire.
They have their own spoken and written language and an excellent, simple alphabet. Moveable type was used in Korea 50 years before its invention in Europe by Gutenberg.
The Korean peninsula, which juts out from the Asiatic mainland southeast of Manchuria, is 600 miles long, about 135 miles wide, and has an area of slightly more than 85,000 square miles, comparable to our state of Minnesota.
Students who have moved since registration and who want their new address or phone number published in the Student Directory should fill out a change card this week in the registrar's office, Bill Buechel, editor of the directory, said today.
Korea's climate is similar to that of the eastern seaboard of the United States between Maine and
North Korea—that portion of the peninsula north of the 38th parallel—contains 48,468 square miles but only one-third of the 30,000,000 total Korean population.
Deadline Set For Student Directory
Buechel said that the staff has set a tentative publication deadline for Sunday, Oct. 15. The list of students is all set in type and the only copy not yet in is the list of faculty, employees, students in the School of Medicine, and the classified advertising.
Buechel said that the staff this year "is concentrating on completeness and accuracy." Business manager of the directory is John Griffin, College junior.
The directory is published under the direction of the All Student Council with the printing being done by the University of Kansas Press.
Postgrads May Get Commissions
Post graduates with just one year to go, who are veterans with at least 12 months service may get a reserve commission in the U.S. Army in one year. This announcement was made today by Col. E. R. Kumpe, commanding officer of the R.O.T.C. unit at the University.
Under the plan, the entire program is completed in one year and after the summer camp session the enrollees are awarded reserve commissions. All post graduate veterans who are interested in this program are invited to stop in at the Army R.O.T.C. offices in the Military Science building, and get full details.

South Korea produces rice and is potentially rich in other food-stuffs. It has comparatively few industries.
North Korea is depended upon for chemical fertilizer, power and coal. Its industry is supported by mineral deposits and has well-developed hydroelectric power plants.
Historically, Korea has been a high road to war and peace. The Japanese first invaded it with a large army in 1592, but were thrown out by Korean and Chinese forces.
Until the latter part of the nineteenth century Korea was largely under the political and cultural influence of China. In 1894-95 Japan eliminated Chinese influence by force of arms.
Rivalry between Japan and Russia over control of Korea climaxed
in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. Japan emerged the victor. From 1910 until the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945, Korea was an integral part of the Japanese empire.
At Cairo (1943), United States, China, and Great Britain promised that Korea would be free and independent.
The Soviet Union agreed to it when it entered the Pacific War against Japan in August 1945.
When Japan surrendered, it was agreed that for military convenience the U.S.S.R. would accept surrender of Japanese forces north of the 38th parallel; and the United States, south.
But after the surrender, the Soviet Union began to block off northern Korea at the 38th parallel finally establishing a virtual curtain."
When military forces of the Communist government of North Korea invaded the new Republic of Korea on Sunday morning, June 25, people of peace-loving nations saw their negotiations to establish Korea independence burst in the flames of war.
