Tito, it is remarked, has lately
shown disposition to utilize
every facility of the western world
to bolster him in his defiance Of
Russia. The western world has
been responsive. He has loan

try to make Communist countries

Russia.

many have just elected govern
ment and acquired some of the

This was granted in the hope of
effecting an eventual reconcile
alton between Germany and the
West. Now, in the most vivid and
direct manner, We are showing
the Germans that the role as
signed their country in case of a
conflict will be that of a battle

ISOLATION can that be for a land

Psychological Effect.
The psychological effect on the
German people must be devastat-
ing. The demands for absolute
German neutrality-greatly de-
sired by the Russians, and pro-
noted by such German diplomats
as Herr Nadolny-will certainly
grow, and be echoed in many
other European countries, includ-
ing France. For, believe it or not.
the masses of the people in
Europe prefer any kind of govern
ment. Nazi or Communist, to
atomic bombs.
We are in q political war with
Russia, and the imminent danger
is not that Soviet armies will in
wade Europe. but that they will
win the political struggle through
movements and changes of heart
within countries. The Russian
political strategy is to have Ameri-
can and British influence and
power turned out of the conti-
nent by the peoples themselves.
Nothing, it seems to me, could
contribute more to this than the
staging Of a dress rehearsal of war
in the middle of Europe.
It is a political act, which will
have political consequences, and
they will not be advantageous to
us. What Europe needs is calm
confidence, not a deliberately in
duced attack of the jitters.
One can only wonder who
thought this up? The United
States War Department? The
chiefs of staff of the Atlantic
Pact countries? What does the
State Department think? Or the
Western European foreign offices?
Who makes such decisions?

Foreign Relations Committee as

nally.
He took the positive position
which cannot be to the liking OF
the State Department-that our
present policy is wrong and en-
tirely devoid of realism. He had
become convinced of this after
consultations with the best mill
tary minds, who can talk more
freely with the chairman Of the

they can with other Senators.
Chinese Still Fighting.
The best answer to the conten-
tions of administration spokes-
men, that Nationalist China might
lust as we'll be written off. is pro-
vided by the Chinese armies which
are still fighting without material
or moral support from outside
quarters.
Official statements by the State
Department that Nationalist China
is washed up. together with the
accusations of no less person
than Senator Connally that
Chang Kai-shek is deserter and
embezzler, have given Communist
propaganda agencies valuable am
munition for attacking the morale
of hundreds of thousands who still
oppose the Red tide in the Far
East.
Great Britain's friendly ad-
vances to the Chinese Communists

the propagandists. who need not
use powerful radio stations but
employ the centuries-old grape
vine which always has reached the
Chinese masses.
Chang Kai-shek, who last week
became the target for Senator
Connally's biting sarcasm. rushed

Association OF
Manufacturers has just issued a
report which calls for great ex-
pansion of the American market
for foreign goods. The report was
prepared by the Fletcher Scnooi
of Law and Diplomacy OF Iu1ts
COLLEGE, at the request OF NAM. In
a foreword, Curtis E. Calder
chairman of MANS international
relations committee, says:
Il commend this document to
the careful attention Of our men,
bers: to all those who may be un-
aware of the interdependence OF
international and domestic eco
nomic well-being; and to all those
who are in position to determine
or influence policy in the field OF
international economic relations
Our Own Best Interest.
What is it Mr.. Calder COM
mends? 1t is the proposition that.
in our own best interest, we
should work toward a reversal OF
our present position in foreign
trade; that we should develop a
situation in which we would buy
more from abroad than we sell;
that instead of an excess OF ex-
ports there should be an excess Of
imports. While supporting vigor-
Gus foreign investment program,
the report says this will not be
enough to correct the unbalanced
world conditions. with its danger

country.

report, when we shall receive
more dollars from old investments
than we make available in the
form of new loans. From then on
we shall not only have to accept
imports equal to exports; we shall
in addition have to develop an
import surplus. The necessity of
developing an import surplus is

that his peril point" stipulation

THE peril point amendment,
he said, puts us more OF less al

way against the communist agents
who infiltrated that province in
recent months. They are being
arrested and "deported"-a new
Chinese way of conducting a purge.
The Red armies advancing to-
ward Canton have been slowed by
the unexpected resistance of the
Nationalist forces. which recently
have received a little equipment
from supplies which reached For
mosa from the United States out
of the appropriations voted by
the 80th Congress. Canton is
doomed, of course. and will fall as
soon as the Reds bring into the
field better troops than the ir-
regulars they have employed so
far.
Thus. the picture which was
presented to Senator Tydings is
quite different from that which
the administration has been CIV
ing the American people.
British Dislike Chang.
The defense of Asia against
communism was one of the topics
which were informally discussed
in Washington between Secretary
of State Acheson, British Foreign
Secretary Bevin and their respec-
tive staffs Of experts.
The British have never had any
use for Chang Kai-shek and his
Nationalist government since the
war began. The generalissimo
committed the cardinal sin OF
putting all his eggs in, the Amer
lcan basket and ignoring the Brit
ish. The result was a strain be-
tween the London and Chungking
governments which was not ap-
parent to the public, because. at
President Roosevelt's suggestion
the British government became a
disinterested party, automatically
IN Chinese affairs.
But now, it is understood, Mr.
Bevin sees eye to eye with MI
Acheson and is prepared to in
dorSe the plan to make India the
pivot of resistance to Commu-
mist penetration Of Asia.
What will happen to China is
matter of indifference to them
The State Department and the
British Foreign Office appear to be
Influenced by the success they
have had in Yugoslavia. where
Marshal Tito, although still main
tanning his Communist tenets, has
become Moscow's No. l enemy
This was possible because Yugo-
slavia is a very small country and
strongly nationalist. Moreover,
Tito has known for some time that
he could rely on American sup
port in the event of trouble with
Russia.
There is no unity of leadership
in nist-dominated China
Mao TIE -tung still holds the lime
light in the foreign press, but he
is now, in fact. just one of sew
eral dozen leaders sponsored by
Moscow in an effort to maintain
political equilibrium without any
one of them becoming a national
leader.
