Stronger Stand Against Chinese Reds

and the chiefs of staff the Presi-
dent was informed of Gen. Mac
Arthur's strong views on what
should be done about Formosa.
Since they are in direct opposi-
ton to those of the State Depart
ment, they were set aside as
strongly partisan" They dove
tailed too neatly with those of Re-
publican leaders in the Senate and
House.
Influenced BY Views.
But Mr.. Truman unquestionably
was influenced by Gen. MacAr-
thurs strong views when the news
of the North Korean aggression
reached Washington. To the
amazement of those who were
present at the Blair House meet
ing on that momentous morning
of June 27, the President an
nounced the orders he had given
the 7th Fleet to prevent an inva-
sion of Formosa by the Chinese
Communists. This action reflected
Gen. MacArthur's thinking.
Because the wind was blowing
in the opposite direction after our
initial difficulties in Korea, Gen.
Macarthur agreed to send mes
sage about Formosa to the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars convention
in Chicago. Although he was Or
dered to withdraw the message,
and did so, his views became
widely publicized at home and
abroad. This incident marked the
lowest point in relations between
the Chief Executive and the COM
mander in the Pacific.
Mr.. Truman was convinced that
Gen. Macarthur was playing pol
itics' and Republican politics,
at that. There were founded
rumors in Washington that the
command of U. N. forces in Ko-
rea would be entrusted to young
er officer, while "Old Mac" would
remain only f1gurehead in Tokyo.
AS former combat soldier Mr..
Truman could not help being deep
ly impressed by the remarkable
and daring strategy of the "politi-
cal general" who in a period of
less than two weeks had turned
what appeared to be probable de-
feat into certain victory.
1t is possible that the Presi-
dents dramatic decision to visit
Gen. Macarthur may have far
reaching effects on our policies
in Asia, where Russia is still max
ing important progress despite our
victory in Korea.

he sent the U. N. commander
his warm congratulations. Until
that time Mr.. Truman is said to
have had little use for our
supreme commander in the Pacific,
who had been described to him by
some interested advisers close to
the White House as a good mill
tary man but a scheming poll
tician.
Keenly Interested.
Since the spectacular Inchon
landings Mr.. Truman has become
keenly interested in meeting Gen.
Macarthur personally. In the
past he has known Gen. MacAr-
thur only through the politicians
who surround the Chief Execu-
tive and who have little love for
the men who bucked their plans
so frequently.
Gen. Macarthur was in the race
for the Republican presidential
nomination in z94S. This led Mr..
Truman to regard him as a
oldier-politician. This feeling
was translated-after the election
in November, 1948-into a kind of
Skepticism of Gen. MacArthur's
views on the Far East.
Until last June when the North
Koreans crossed the 38th Parallel
the Allied Supreme Commander in
Tokyo was consulted only on rou-
tine matters connected directly
with his command. Policies on
the Far East were made in Wash
ington by President Truman, who
accepted only the advice of the
State Department.

Mrs. Douglas and the trend Of
the times favors him, but his man
ayers call 1t a tight race.
A sudden squirt of activity by
old-line organization workers has
proved to the pessimistic that Ma
tional Chairman Boyle has passed
the word down the line that Mr..
Truman really wants Mrs. Douglas
to win. Until lately, many of them
had been sitting on their hands,
figuring that the inactivity of the
Presidents friend, Gilman Edwin
w. Pauley, was their cue.
Actually, the President had told
Mr.. Pauley he wanted him to sup
port Mrs. Douglas. There are
conflicting versions about whether
Mr.. Pauley told the President
what he has told the press which
was, IN word, no, but he has
done nothing for her.
Drive Is On.
In any case, the drive is on.
Secretary of Labor Tobin and Vice
President Barkley were here; Sec
retaries Chapman of Interior and
Brannan of Agriculture and At
torney General McGrath are COM
ing.
President Truman's stop here on
his way home from the Pacific is
touted as nonpolitical, but of
course Mrs. Douglas and all the
other Democrats who can crowd

publicans here are growing but
Presidents usually take their po-
litical perquisites despite the op-
position.

Is a down-the-line Fair Deal
Democrat in both domestic and
foreign policy. Representative
Nixon, by and large, rallied to
the conservative. semi isolationist
standard of COP. leaders Martin

career.
Mr.. Nixon says that the race is
one of fundamentals, with the diff
ferences clear-cut between him
self and Mrs. Douglas. Taking
off from her vote against continu-
ing the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee, he paints her

Accepts Challenge.
Mrs. Douglas has accepted the
challenge and has taken the offen-
slve on the basis of her record as
compsred to Mr.. Nixon's. On is

the roll call to show how the Re-
publicans operated in committee

The present political climate is
hostile to her ardent liberalism:
she would be better suited to a
Roosevelt year. But she knows
how to plead her cause and in

initial disadvantage that he was

tions. These developments are all
in the direction of making 1t a
world organization capable Of
greatly minimizing the danger Of
a third world war, if not actually
forestalling that catastrophe. The
tough tactics of Secretary Acheson
and his allies do seem to be having
that result.
Pushing our optimism to the
limit that, after all, the fate of the
world is not to be decided by a
shooting war. where does that
leave the United States in that
other war of which we are all
aware-the theological war be-
tween democracy and commu-
nism?
New Light on Nation.
A new book, now being widely
read in Washington, throws a
strong light on that question. The
book is Truman, Stain and
Peace" The author is Albert z.
Carr, a one time economic adviser
on Roosevelt's White House staff
in which capacity he spent con-
siderable time in China, partici-
pating in the effort to save the
Chang Kai-shek government. He
served two years also as a consult
ant to the Inter-Allied Reparation
Agency in western Europe and has
at times been a special consultant
to President Truman.
Pertinent to the problem now
before us, Mr.. Carr presents one
phase of our postwar history in
challenging statements such as
the following:
I'm attempting to prevent the
establishment of revolutionary
governments allied to Russia, the
United States, a nation revolu-

tionary in its origin, democratic In
it's spirit and humanitarian in its
long-range political tendency,
found itself pushed into the posi-
ton of opposing popular revolu-
ton in general. In Italy and
France our dollars financed con-
servative governments which had
no hope of survival without us.
We strengthened Germany only
to restore the hold of the old car
tells on the German economy. :. .
We gave military supplies to
China's reactionary regime even
though we were we'll aware that
it had lost the loyalty of the
Chinese people. AS late as
1850 Secretary of State Acheson
felt himself compelled to announce
our support of the Emperor Bao
Dai in Indo-China, in the face of
unmistakable evidence that most
of the Indo-Chinese preferred a
republican government, free of
French overlordship."
Consequences Of Course.
THE sure consequences of such
a course were increased resent
ment of America in the Asiatic
mind and a new flood of telling
Communist propaganda every
where in the world. No matter

bombing of the mainland from

ment. When we withheld it, the
shrewd Soviet agents made capt.
tai of our uncertainty. We had
more to offer, far more than the
Russians: Not only material ad-
vantages, but high humanitarian
and democratic tradition"
Why didn't we use our advan-
tages? THE answer was only too
plain" says Mr.. Carr. Our ma
tional state of mind made it diff
cult for our Government to en-

nomic patterns. if these were of
"a nature which rigid minds in
the Senate could brand as social

hope to bid against Stain for

of discomfort in the world and
keep his hold on the Congress and

mind that you'll let him suffer from
his hardness. But some latenesses
are too high price for child to
pay for fault it sometimes takes
years to correct.
So if it's a matter of being late
to the movies, let Jimmy suffer
the consequences, which In this
case means missing the beginning
of the picture. But if he sings in
the junior choir at church and the
price of being tardy is being put
out of the choir, it would be pretty
drastic to leave his arriving on

Sometimes a parent simply
