The terms of the Allied pro-
nouncement indicate that there
must be a period OF preparation
before full statehood can be
recognized; this promise means
also that every step taken by
the Allies, during a period Of
intervention, must advance The
Koreans toward independence,
serve 10 unity them as a nation.
and not divide them from one
another.
This is the Allied pledge.
The present. difficulty lies in
The fact that the military oCcu-
patton OF the country is dual
WtTtc an American army,
built around the famous 24th
Corps. which participated in the
long and terriF battle of Oki-
nawa, occupies the southern

Gen, LucIan Truscott
The words quoted above were
spoken by Gen. George S. Patton
successor when Americas foremost
field officer. in the European theater
relinquished, under orders, his com
mand over the redoubtable Third
Army.
AS press and radio reports have
shown, there was rejoicing IN Mos,
cow and in the Russian controlled
section of Berlin-and considerable
jubilation among Reds and radicals
in the United States over Gen. Pat,
tons disgrace -
For the Reds and radicals be-
lieved they themselves had won a
victory
THEY had obtained the hero's re-
4 moval 'as military administrator
of Bavaria-not, % their propaganda
pretended, because Gen. Patton had
failed or refused to put Nazis OUT
of Office, but because he was unwill-
ing to put Communists IN
AS well as he could under difficult
conditions, Gen. Patton had made his
own attitude-and. of course, his own
rectitude-clear.
On Sept. 25, more than a week
before he was transferred, he issued
statement referring to Gen. Dwight
D. Eissnhower's order Of "a firm
policy of uprooting the whole Nazi
organization.
Cen Patton said,
TT 1t is-rny- CONSIDERED 7oPtN.-
ION that am carrying out his direc-
tues with THE SAME V1GOR AND
LOYALTY as I carried out those
Which resulted in UictorieS at Casa
blanca, Ell Guettor, Sicily and here.
81 am convinced that as the re-
suit of my efforts shall be JUST AS
SUCCESSFUL here as rUas in those
other places. -
Gen. Patton's task was not a
simple one, however.
Bavaria had been the stronghold
of Nazism.
Munich had been its cradle.
There were perhaps no German
officials in Bavaria at the time of the
conquest except Nazis
Some of them, especially in the
higher ranks, were virulent Nazis.
Some of them undoubtedly, as
Cen Patton observed, had been made
"Nazis" under duress and had paid
"dues" as a victim pays blackmail.
Gen. Patton's job-akin to Gen.
MacArthurs in Japan-was to de
stroy nazism but also to avert chaos
and catastrophe in the process.
So he began at the top, working
downward.

WASHINGTON, oct. 1S-
W Gen. MacArthur'S address
of final victory sounded TO the
uninitiated public as If he was
merely talking abstract STRAIT
egy-a necessary new strategy
OF complete integration of army,
navy and air force.
He said this was the lesson
nc learned from the war as well
as YamaShita, who attributed
his part of Jap defeat 10 lack of
land. sea and air coordination.
This address was actually%a
verbal rocket bomb. a directed
missile, which hit Washington
in what might be called stra-
tegic if invisible spot.
The1oint chiefs of staff held
an unreported secret meeting a
week earlier tOCt. 81 and failed
10 do anything about creating
just such a combination of our
forces into single department.
Since last April they have
been doing the same thing
about it--nothing.
They have not let it reach the
public eye or ear. but sup
pressed IT so thoroughly that
not even the President, 10
whom it was destined, had then
received il.
THERE were smiles among
Il the knowing at MacArthur's
courage IN coming straight out
for his beliefs to the top men of
army and navy, for they knew
very well what he was talking
about il the public did not. The
rhetorical rocket therefore did
not miss its mark.
MacArthur'S action reminded
me of Billy Mitchell. the pioneer
fighting airman, who told the
public what this war would be
like, and got court-martialed for
At.
The Mitchell program for air
aCcentuation was successfully
delayed by the old goatees be-
cause they caught him using
fireworks and hot charges.
MacArthurS method practic-
ally dripped honey. He did not
mention any report or even the
Joint ,Shiefs of staff, but just
set out an apparently sincere
statement of facts, for which A
private could not even be court
martialcd.

THE com mon story going
Il around the capital is that
the navy is responsible for the
dangerous delay.
THE delay is dangerous be-
cause it will require many

defense is being postponed

Of navy responsibility uni leSs

There had not been TIM E

Part of the American response
bility, he declared, was "to assure
ourselUes that rVomen, children and
old men rUiH not Nrish from hunger
and cold this uUinter."
That danger exists in Germany
III the very midst of the contro-
versy over Gen. Patton, Field Mar
shal Montgomery issued warning
that THE BRITISH HELD area of
Germany is threatened with
FAMINE.
Both commanders, it would seem
apparent, were actuated by consider
ations of humanity in the perform
ance of their military duties.
Evidently, therefore, the charge
of favoritism to the Nazis directed
against Geay-P atten- WHOLLY
UNJUST and the truth is that he is
merely not favorable to the. Com
munists.
Consequently we have had the
usual Communist smear-and the
American general who made the
greatest record in the European war
deprived of his command on the
fimsy reasons made public.
TT is a singular and in fact dis
4 turbing thing that an AMERI-
= CAN authority-political or military
will remove an AMERICAN gen
eral with a resplendent record be-
cause of COMMUNIST smear.
Naturally the Communist press
in Berlin, in Moscow and in the
United States was jubilant.
With Gen. Truscott in command,
they may not get as far in Bavaria
as they had hoped,
But the Communists seem to con-
troll at least a part of the American
occupational forces and a. consider
able part of the American govern
ment
And there is not much probability
of great ability and great incentive
in the military forces of the United
States if the reward for heroic deeds
is to be CALUMNY and DEMO
TION.
