The ruling six to two, with Supreme Court Justices Douglas and Black dissenting. Chief Justice Vinson, who spoke for the Malorlty, said that the Communist conspiracy reflected •a clear and pr e sent danger of an atteap, to forcibly overthrow the government. -rtJ'The government cannot wait until the putsch 1• about to be executed. The plan• have been made and the signal 11 awaited.

The eleven now face flve year~terms, and fines of ten thousand dollars each, wlth one exception. (Robert G. Thompson draws the ten thousand dollll.r fine, but only three years in jail.

The United States, Great Britain and France pr e sented a proposal to the Kremlin, and the answer came today. An acceptance - but -- the condition ---- 1 a made - that the proposed conference of the Big rour must include a consideration of the North Atlantia Pact and American bases in Europe. Moscow wants to use any such palaver to und e rmine the line-up of the West. This has been rejected consistently - 1n tbe long-drawn out parley between the Deputy Foreign Ministers. So the Moscow not• today merely 1ne1sta on what the western powers have been turning down all along. Meaning - they cannot accept the Soviet acceptance.

( Moreover, the Secretary contended that the conoeas1on1 to Stalin at Yalta would have been tu•• by the 8ovlet1 anyway - upoD the defeat ot Japaa.) The au1s1an Beds ■ lght have*•~- taken muoh more, he reasoned - being 1n a po11tion to seize territories like Manchuria the laland of Sakhalin and the ~ur11e1. lo the deal at Yalta merely con c eded to the Soviet• what they would have taken, in any AQll@PI - a event. Such w a s the defense of Yalta made by the Secretary of State today. Similarly, he upheld American policy toward Chiang Kai Bhek and the nationali1t1 in their conflic, - with the Chinese Reda. He pointed out that Chl&DI Kai lbek never did have control 1n Manchuria and lorth Chin& &t any ti ■e. Because, for ye&ra, those areaa were held by the Japanese invader• - or by the Dean Acheson quoted the fa.moue We4eaeyer report in et&~ing that Chiang Kai lhek would have, ttret ot all, to build a 1ound reglae 1n South China -- and would find 1t much more difficult to tate over in Bor,hern China and Manchuria. lo, acoordlng to the Secretary, the only way the United lt&tes could have asaured the do■ inanoe of Chiang Kai lhek would have been to throw huge American foroe1 lnto Chin& -- which the American public would not have permitted. lo the downfall of the Bat1omli1t• would aeem to have AQIIBQI - 3 been in e vitable -- ihe moreso as they failed to carry out aoc1al and agricultural reforms that were nece1au1. Such waa the 3u1t1f1cat1on of our rar la1tern policy 11noe the Second World War -- \he Secretary of State preaent1ng hi1 oaae in the controversy which has been 10 bitter.
