Acheson Second on List.
Former Undersecretary of State
Dean Acheson is another who pro-
fesses to have no idea of where he
stands except that his friends as
sure him he is in the running. His
relations with the President are
excellent and he would probably
have no serious difficulty with the
new Congress though some legisla-
tors find his Harvard Yard manner
a little wearing.
Associate Justice Douglas Of the
Supreme Court, who has gone to
some pains lately to demonstrate
his complete awareness Of the prob
lens of the modern world, has at
least one admirer in the White
House, Clark Clifford. 1t could be
that President Truman's regard
cooled on that July day when he
waited for the justice to decide
whether or not he wanted to be Vice
President. A Douglas appointment
would be popular with labor; a lot
Of Democrats would have to be sold

Should President Truman decide
to put q Republican in State, he
would have no trouble inducing
Senator Vandenberg, John Foster
Dulles or Eric Johnston to take the

suggested. But this contingency is

sentiments on Sunday would rush
to swing to the other side, for, to the
struggling and trapped human be-
ing, poverty and brutal oppression

stances Is preferable to death
Therefore, let us have no illusions.
This Is not the century Of the popu-
lar will.
Secondly: Whatever advantages
the Western countries, under the
leadership of the United States, still
possess In Europe are not being cons
solidated with anything like suf-
ficient boldness and speed, not only
on military but on political grounds.
The West still organizes haltingly,
and by negotiation. The Russians
already are organized. France still
is trying to defend herself against
Germany, and demanding the

Well. and good, but the condition

sacrifice of q large part Of nation

vival to the remnant Of Western
European civilization.
Thirdly: The advantages which
the West possesses In Europe do not
even approximate the advantages
which Russia is winning In Asia
again because of q lack Of initiative
and boldness on the part Of the
United States-not only militarily
but politically. And this failure Is
not leading us toward peace, but
toward war-toward the moment
when war will appear to one side as

complete the world picture, and te
the other as the lesser evil of two

For example, there is a heater in

/ But the manufacturer and the
dealer, wiser than I, had gone
through the weather reports Of the
past 100 years and discovered that
there have been three times that
the weather In Florida called for
such a heater. So, careful Of my
health and comfort, they had in
stalled it for a mere 500. 1t was all
I could do to keep from falling on

Chang Seen Beyond Help.
There Is little likelihood that any
of these requests of the Nanking
governments special ambassadress
will be granted.
Reports which have reached the
White House in recent days from
China show definitely not only that
the situation of the Nationalist
armies is completely hopeless, but
also that the generalissimo himself
has lost 50 much face that 1t Is
highly questionable that he car

Nanking has been lost.
In China, more than in any other
country, nothing is more damnine
than failure for q man In public
life. The policies Of the State De-
partment since September, 1916
when all military supplies to the
Nationalist forces were stopped, are
in great measure responsible for the
present. tragedy in China. Insofar

Laid Down Rules.
The Secretary, who likes to chan
mel news as he formerly did mill
tary affairs, laid down the rules for
Operation Marshall. The State De-
partment, he ordered, must give no
news except that the operation has
been performed. All condition re-
ports must come from the hospital.
A call to the White House resulted
in the customary failure to evoke
public discussion of current events.
All they knew, they said deadpan,
was what the State Department
said.
Since the health Of the United
States Secretary Of State has q GER
tain interest during the cold war,
especially since he himself has re-
peatedly told friends Of his desire to
retire, speculation viii probably con-
tinue. At the risk Of injuring the
rosy prospects of various estimable
gentlemen eager to serve their coun-
try, It is possible to list at least
three candidates for the Marshall
place, all much younger and in
robust health.

king and Shanghai have fallen to
the Communists. But the situation
there is such that 1t Is doubtful that
he would be welcome. It Is also
questionable that when he leaves the
present capital he will have any
followers left at all, except the
members of his immediate family.
Success is not likely for the plan
advanced by some of Gen. Chiang's
remaining supporters, namely that
he move China's capital to Formosa.
The Formosans have had enough of
the Nationalist administration and
are overwhelmingly In favor Of OBJ
tanning independence under q
United Nations trusteeship. They
feel that such a trusteeship, under
which they would become, in fact,
the wards Of the United States, will
help them economically and po-
litically.
Can Be Self-Supporting.
Formosa can be made self-sup-
porting under an honest administra-
ton and its inhabitants believe that
their request, to be placed under
the u, N. flag with America as the
trustee, will be acceptable in WASH
ington since their island can offer
excellent air and naval bases, which
this country needs badly In the Pa
cific.
The Formosans' desire is not dis
cussed openly In Washington or
Paris, but there are strong indica.
tions that an appeal from the is
landers for independence will not
fall on deaf ears in the U. NJ, IN
spite Of the inevitable opposition
Of the U. S. 8. r. and the satellite
delegates.
In any event, according to reports
from Formosa, there is strong senti-
ment among its inhabitants against
establishment of Gen. Chiangs
headquarters there, in the event
that he is forced to seek refuge out
side of Marking and Shanghai.
The most militant advocates OF
support for the Nationalist govern
ment are now of the opinion that
Gen. Chang is beyond help and
that any further effort we may
make will only be so much waste OF
precious war materials. This Is be-
ing explained in polite but very clear
language to Nine. Chang, who has
a natural inclination to fight for her

That was three weeks ago and she

that she mistook the button which
releases all the wheels and deposits
them in the front seat, for handy
checking of tire pressure, for the
button which opens the ash trays
and turns on the fog lights.
Only one thing is lacking on my
new cara popcorn pepper. Being
crazy about the stuff, I asked the
dealer how that essential item was
overlooked. It hadn't been. He ex-

which the people Of the world suffer
or enjoy in this century Is not de-
termined by their choice, but by
the distribution Of power-to put
lit brutally, yet truthfully: Military
power. The Germans Of the Eastern
zone do have q Communist govern
ment, though they are no more for
communism than their Western
compatriots. They have 1t because
there the Communist movement Is
covered by military force, as politi-
cal freedom is protected by military
force in the West. Were 1t not, all
Europe would 60 Communist be-
cause democracy cannot, in the
world as 1t Is, otherwise sustain
itself.
Primary Urge Is Survival.
Without military protection people
must move into the Communist
camp or suffer martyrdom at the
hands of the Communist inquisition.
Except in saints the primary human
urge is survival. In a Communist
state, or a state covered by Commu-
mist military force, the only way to
survive Is to become Communist
If allowed-and a docile and obe-
dent servant of communism, in any

If you are a member of the

National Guard, or just a young
man without previous service con-
templating enlisting, You can stop
worrying about what will happen
to that civilian job of yours. Head
quarters of the Second Army has
been advised by the Secretary of
National Defense that reemploy-
ment rights of officers and enlisted

volunteering for three years of
active duty, and of persons cur
rently enlisting for the first time
and for not more than three years,
are as fully protected under Sec
ton 8 of the Selective Service Act

under the Draft. Both James
Forrestal, Secretary of Defense
and Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary Of
Labor, were quoted as authority
for this assurance.
