Since then the years have

shek of weakness and lack of skill
in handling the United States.
Some top Chinese military men
say that If Gen. Chang had shown
more shrewdness and dealt with
Moscow behind the scenes when 1t
was apparent, after Gen. Marshall's
mission to China in 1946, that Amer
lea would not live up to its commit
ments to Gen. Chang, the Nation
alist government would not be in
the plight it is today.
Americans, they believe, would have
been concerned over the prospects
of q Marking Moscow understand

deliver the promised supplies for
the Chinese armies, which at that
time had begun to take over Man.
churia on the basis of agreements
with the Western Allies.
Chang Losing Prestige.
These feelings of the top generals
as we'll as the rank and file Of Chi
nese Nationalist soldiers are of only
academic interest. The hard fact
remains that there is little hope-if
any at all-that the Nationalist
armies before long will not degen-
crate into a rabble, fighting here
and there under the leadership Of
self appointed warlords and in the
service Of any who can pay them.
The fact that President Truman
politely but firmly turned down
Markings approaches to have Gen.
Chang visit him in Washington has
not helped the generalissimo's fast
dwindling prestige with the men
who remain faithful to him.
His followers in Nanking feel that
Washington administered a diplo-
matte, but sharp slap to the head
Of the Chinese government when
Mr. Truman stated that Gen.
Chiang's presence is needed now in
China. The visit of the American
educated Nine. Chang Kai-shek
will have no political effect among
the millions of Chinese who remain
in the non Communist areas. She

fore, asking for greater support Of

cans, are holding on. For example,
the Mayf1ower bowed to the i'm
portunities of its Democratic friends
the Democrats had their head
quarters there for years-and ad-
dressed tactful letters to 200 Gus
| toners who had during the sum-
mer reserved Inauguration bed and
board.
Only Is Cancel.
The letters suggested perhaps
they had changed their plans and
might not come to Washington after
all. To date, only Is cancellations
have been received. Democratic
headquarters suggests wryly that
at this late date the best way to
get an Inauguration hotel room
might be to know an important Re-
publican who had planned to cheer
President Dewey.
1t could be that the Republi-
cans, faced with another four-year
drought. are going to try to make
what friends they can either by
using their rooms for entertainment
Of the ruling party or by bestowing
them on Democrats who might
later prove useful. After all, 1t is
hardly possible these days to ig-
more the Federal Government even
| If ones friends unfortunately are
not running 1t.
The hotels naturally can't tell
what is in their customers minds.
They do state that they did not,
as some reports had it, set aside
blocks Of rooms for corporations,
businesses, lobbyists, etc. All the
reputable hotels stress that they
have tried to take care first, Of
elected and influential persons who
have a right to participate in in
augura ceremonies and second, Of
old customers known to them per-
sonally who have been using their
hotels for years.
To DO this, they add, in view of
the great public interest in the gala,
nobody Is going to enjoy the use
OF vast suites. Instead the space
available is being severely rationed
and made to accommodate as many
people as possible.
A reflection of the problem Of
proper accommodations for party
notables is indicated in an inaugural
committee proposal to have each Of
the 4s State governors stay at one
of the embassies or legations while
in Washington.
One of the great problems Of the
hotels is the presidential electors,

Planning Association is an inde-
pendent, non-political. non-profit
organization established in 1884. 1t
was in tune then with the times or,
at least, in tune with the New Deal
administration, which believed in
planning. And when, in the course
of events. critics of the administra-
ton had succeeded in making
planning" an ugly word. and had
convinced Congress that such Gov
ernment agencies as the National
Resources Committee should be
abolished, the National Planning
Association kept right on planning.
That is to say, 1t studied problems
from the standpoint Of the national
interest and offered its advice to
all concerned, to be taken or dis
regarded.
Advice Hard to Take.
Two years ago the NPA Agricul-
ture Committee studied the question,
Dare farmers risk abundance?" In
simpler language, would the farmers
be wise to continue raising the big
gest possible crops? The committee
concluded the farmers could take
the risk If assured of strong con-
sumer buying power, some kind of
income support and assistance in
shifting production from unwanted
products to those really needed.
Most of these conditions apparently
were met, for the farmers raised
record crops and obviously have not
suffered from doing 50.
So now the NPA is asking: How
can the farmers benefit most from
the gains they have made? Should
they buy more land? Should they
put their money in the bank? Or
should they use the money to inn
prove the health, housing and edu-
cation of their families?
The Agriculture Committee. COM.
posed of farmers Of all kinds and
representative Of all of the farmers
organizations, offers its own answer.
It tells the farmer:

Hotels also have received warn
ings from railroads that many spec.
ial trains have been chartered to

inauguration isn't until Thursday
To protect themselves, the hotels
had insisted on their reservations
starting Monday; apparently people
intend to wiring the last drop Of
pleasure possible out Of the ex.
penditure Of their money.

This Changing World
Report of Disintegrating Chang Army
Stirs Concern on u. S. Pacific Defense

Nor has the generalissimo's pres.
tige been helped by the reports
started by the American Embassy
in Nanking, that an American mill.
tary plane has been placed at his
disposal to take him to Tsingtao
where 5000 American Marines ano
Vice Admiral Oscar Badgers task
fleet are located.
While 1t is true that we have Of
fered Gen. Chang the use Of ar
American plane to take him wher.
ever he decides to go If he has tc
give up Nanking, there has been
no specific suggestion that he go to
Tstngtao. These reports have beer
exploited by Gen. Chiang's oppo-
nents, who say that he is ready tc
abandon his defeated troops and
run to safety behind American
guns.
Although the present situation In
China is no surprise to those who
have urged the administration fol-
over a year to send war supplies
to Gen. Chiang-supplies which only
now are beginning to flow across
the Pacif1c-our national defense
planners cannot help being seriously
concerned over what they term the
inevitable debacle of the Chinese
Nationalist forces.
u. s. Defense Seen Hurt.
The expectations of some Chinese
experts that Gen. Chang will con-
tinue the fight from south of the
Yangtze River, and will establish a
temporary capital at Canton, are
little consolation to our military
strategists. In so far as our ma
tional defense is concerned, we al
ready have been badly hurt. And
the day that the Communists have
established themselves firmly, not
only in Manchuria and North and
Central China, but also on the coast
and in Korea, we must think Sc
riously about what to do with ia
pan, and must start quickly to
strengthen our defenses, particularly
our military establishment in Alaska.
So far the main objective of our
foreign policy has been to prevent
the USSR from taking over the
countries in Western Europe. We
have spared neither money nor
effort for that purpose. But while
we have been looking across the
5000 miles which separate Europe
from America, we have ignored al
together the dangers from the Pa
cific.
We overlooked the fact that once
the Soviets are firmly established in
the vital strategic areas of China,
and close that vast part of the Ash
attic continent to our air force, only
a short hop separates them from
Alaska across the Bering Strait. 1t
is only a six-hour flight from Alas
ka to Chicago and Los Angeles.
We overlooked the possibility that
the Russians may have been only
feinting with their cold war in Eu-
rope, and that they really mean to
threaten us directly by taking over
the strategically important areas of
China.
