dered anxiously where they
would decide to encroach the
next time.
I find it hard to understand
how Mr.. x could have recon-
mended such a strategic mon
strosity. For he tells US, no doubt
truly, that the Soviet power
"cannot be easily defeated or
discouraged by a single victory
on the part of its opponents"
and that "'the patient persistence
by which it is animated" means
that it cannot be "effectivejy
countered" by sporadic acts"
Yet his own policy calls for a
series of sporadic acts: The
United States is to apply "coun-
terforce' where the Russians en-
croach and when they encroach.
On his own testimony no
single victory will easily defeat
or discourage the patient per-
sistence of the Kremlin. Yet Mr.
x says that the United States
should aim to win a series of
victories which will cause the
Russians to yield on Individual
sectors of the diplomatic front"
And then what? When the Unit
ed States has forced the Kremlin
to face Illustration indefinitely"

power"

Today And Tomorrow

A crucial defect of the policy
of firm containment, knowwn to
the world as the Truman doc
trine, is that it is conceded to
the Russians the initiative in the
contest. We are ito hold the
line" leaving it to the Kremlin
to decide when, where and how
it will exert pressure upon that
line. W. are to erect "unassail-
able barriers in it's path" We
are "to confront the Russians
with "counterforce" wherever
and whenever they ''show signs
of encroaching upon the inter
ests of a stable and peaceful
world"
Therefore unless we can have
decisive force Immediately
available at all times and at
every point on the vast peri
meter of the Soviet power in
Europe, the Middle East and in
Asia, the chances are that usual
ly, if not always. we shall arrive
too late with too little counter
force.
Moreover, having surrendered
the initiative, the policy commits
us to an enormous effort without
offering any concrete objective
that can be attained. For when
we arrived at one of the shifting
points, and if our countersorce
were sufficient to contain the
Russians, then all that we could
expect to accomplish by our ex-
ertions would be to stop that
particular attempt to cross the
line. The Russians would then

1t is revealed that between

1t is true that there are almost

only one-third. Thus, the report
concludes:
"The results r a sharp in

1t would take Is, 900 more

that there isn't much anyone

"There is no immediate way

He is a great fellow and will be
