This Changing World
Marked Disparity Shown in Exertion
OfU. S. Strength in Europe and Far East

American Government literally
sneered at the absence in China
of our brand of democracy. II
ignored the fact that Gen. Chang
was the defender of our interests
on the continent of Asia and, If
properly supported, could have pre-
vented the Communists from ever
conquering more than small part
OF the country.
Instead of welcoming the Dutch
action against the Communist-in-
filtrated Indonesian Republican
movement, we attempted to dis
courage the Netherlands from TAX
ing what some day may be vindi-
Gated as necessary step to
checkmate fresh Communist coup
against the Dutch government in
the East Indies. We have raised
the question before the United Ma
ton, where the sponsors of the
Indonesian Republicans can take
up the cudgels in defense of their
satellites.
Must Secure Defense.
The Far East is too important for
overall defense strategy
to be trifled with in the manner
in which we have dealt with it.
The Pacific is vast highway con-
Meeting the shore of America and
Asia. If Americas defense Is to
be secure, it must control not only
its own immediate waters and the
of islands which we took
from Japan in World War II, but
1t must have friendly and CO.
operative governments on the con-
tinents which border that great
ocean.
That is the point of our failure
in the Pacific. We have not seen
to it that our friends are supported
to the limit as long as they are
fighting in our interest. We have
not made that mistake in Europe,
however, and have gone very
long way in pledging all-out eco
nomic assistance-not to speak of
the coming military assistance
in the defense Of our friends against
the Communist threat.
Although China is practically
lost as an ally against communism,
it is not too late to do something
about Indonesia and other coun-
tries of Southeast Asia where COM
munism is attempting to establish
itself firmly. But action in our
own interest requires recognition
of what our interest is and
determination to defend it. Up to
now our Government has not dis
played the required determination.
