asked General Macarthur, what

AT least $4,000, ,000," the Gen

Russian World
empire and world communism are
identical. Marshal Tito's historic
function has been to prove what
the initiated already knew.
To advance world empire
Russia uses political and military
means. Like all claimants to
world dominion. she hopes to win
as far as possible without war.
But her political force Is in exact
ratio to her military power.
Chief Deterrent to Conquest.
Russia did not need the atomic
bomb to conquer China, nor does
she need it to conquer Europe ana
Asia. She needed 1t to neutra!lze
the United States.
The defense of the United
States and areas vital to our Sc
curity depends on the supremacy
not the superiority. of the Amer
ican Air Force. That supremacy
existed through a monopoly Of
the atomic bomb. That monop-
DIV meant that although the Rec
armies could easily overrur
Europe and Asia, the key cities
of Russia itself could be de.
stroyed by the American All
Force in a matter Of hours, while
American cities would be safe.
That one-way danger to Russis
has been the chief military deter
rent to Russian conquest.
The day American air suprem'
acy ceases. the Russian struggle
for world dominion will pass into
the final stage. And American all
supremacy ceases the day the
Russians are able to destroy Amer
lean cities and their inhabitants
For whereas the American All
Force, armed with a monopolizeo
weapon, has been an effective
deterrent against aggression ane
a safe American defense, the Rus
slams already have supremacy II

to power. Therefore. on the day
Russia overcomes American air
supremacy, she achieves military
supremacy altogether. And. I re-
peat. Russia overcomes our only
supremacy, not when she is equal
or superior to us in the air. but
when she overcomes vulnerability
to atomic attack.
Could Disarm Ourselves.
The world wants to see atomic
war outlawed and atomic energy
controlled. So will Russia. who
also does not want her cities
bombed. But if the United States
agrees, without establishing equal
restrictions and controls over all
other forms Of warfare, we shall
disarm ourselves and our Allies.
while leaving the Red armies, by
default, masters of the globe.
Russia wants to disarm the
United States without disarming
herself of weapons necessary to
her aim. She will use her pos
session of the bomb to blackmail
the world into outlawing just one
form of warfare: the one in which
the United States has had, and
still briefly has. supremacy.
Peace with freedom, therefore,
demands not the international
prohibition and control Of atomic
weapons alone, but the equal pro-
hibition and control OF all wea-
pons, not the outlawing Of one
form of war. but the outlawing OF
all aggression. under-to quote Mr..
Vishinsky on the atomic bomb

what we need in the way of naval
power.
There has been more than a
little dissatisfaction with the way
Mr.. Matthews stepped in to ham
die the Crommelin case himself
after Capt. Crommelin had been
moved out of the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff, where, no doubt. he became
persona non grata as the result OF
his blast at Pentagon intrigues.
Navy people feel that instead OF
having a defender and protago-
mist in the highest councils in the
land, it has had imposed on 1t a
master hand, appointed for the
specific purpose of pouring bitter
medicine down its throat.
Honest and Sincere Belief.
This is not simply a question OF
INSTRUMENTATION by certain naval
officers, of refusal to accept the
orders of duly constituted author
ity and of anxiety over personal
careers, although Admiral Began
made clear how important this
element of personal future can be
in trying to preserve an organiza-
tion in peacetime which is pre-
pared to act promptly and effec-
lively in case of war.
It is a question Of honest and
sincere belief that under the pres
ent system Of unification the
Navy is being relegated to a posi-
ton from which it could not
quickly recover in case of national
crisis.
It is q question of supine sur
render to the exaggerated claims
and pretensions of one branch of
the service-the Air Force-or Of
respectful but forceful resistance
to those pretensions in the inter-
est of the whole defense estab-
.lishment.
It is a question of putting all of
our defense eggs in one basket and
trusting everything to one or two
weapons, for which our prospec-
| tive enemy we already know has
counterweapons on the way to
perfection, or of diversifying our
effort to make ourselves invincible
on land and sea and in the air.
The officers and men of the
Navy are convinced that in case
of another war their real mission
will not be limited, as it is now,
to antisubmarine work and mine
laying. They are honestly con-
vinced that there will be wide
open hole in our defenses If we
do not have instantly available
for use not only battleships. cruis-
ers and destroyers with which to
repel the enemy's existing or po-
tentiaI sea forces, but also aircraft
carriers and planes operating
from those carriers.

wholly improper circumstances
and the Navy high command
makes no effort to justify 1.-THE
steps taken by Admiral Began
and the tone of his letter to the
civilian chief of the Navy, were
absolutely proper in every respect
and in accord with strict Navy
procedure.
Showing this regard for regu-
lations, and not attempting, as
Capt. John Crommelin did. to at
tract attention to the position of
inferiority to which the Navy has
been relegated by means of pub
lie release, Admiral Began was
entitled to resort to some rather
strong language in his complaint
to the Secretary.
Growing Lack of Confidence.
Admiral Bogan's letter" carries
between the lines implications OF
a growing lack of confidence
among the Navy's career officers
in their civilian chief. Outside OF
this letter, however, there is
plenty of evidence that the Navy
and that means not only the So
called brass hierarchy. but the
junior officers and enlisted men
as well-believes it has been badly
let down in those quarters where
it's interests-and the interests
of the United States as naval
power-should have been stoutly
defended.
There is little point in trying to
pin down whether this failure
according to the Navy's view-oc-
Cured in the actions of Secretary
of the Navy Matthews or of De-
fense Secretary Johnson. What
is important is that the civilians
who are heading up our defense
establishment are out of step with
the career naval men who by the
very nature of their profession

In st. Paul Lowell Meliett.
this week, William Green. pres.
ident of the American Federation

predicament in which Mr.. Murray

lowed by Mr.. Murray.

where. This is a very fundamen-
tai principle"
This principle, if it is one, was
violated by Mr.. Murray in his ef
fort to avoid a strike. And it was
violated not only in the knowledg
that it would lay him open tt
attack by his principal rival fol
labor leadership, but to attacks
within his own organization. The
attacks in fact have been made b!
some of his local unions on botf
of the grounds indicated by Mr.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25-S1nce
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
and E. C. A. chief Paul Hoffman
returned from their respective
trips to Europe, it has become
increasingly clear that American
policy in Europe revolves about
one magic word. The word is "in.
tegration." And it is about time
to inquire what this word really
means to Acheson, Hoffman, and
the other American policy max

cording to the dictionary. means

gest that this country is trying
to create a United States of
Europe overnight.
In fact, what Acheson and
Hoffman are trying to promote
is nothing of the sort. The real
objective, as one of the authors
