ment on Thursday, however,
Mr.. Truman was both broad
and specific, namely, that the
United States has no designs
on Formosa, no desire to estab-
lish military bases, will not
pursue a course which will lead
to involvement in the civil con-
f1ict in China, and will not pro-
vide military aid or advice to
Chinese forces on Formosa.
Confirming his hint of Weones-
day, however. the President
said the United States proposes
to continue the present ECA
program of economic assist
ance."
On Thursday afternoon. Sec
retary of State Acheson had his
moments on stage and made
the most of them. Repeating,
in effect, the Presidents words.
the Secretary also took a broad
,swipe at the armchair STRAIT
egists, amateur statesmen ct
al. and emphasized that there
had been no major difference
Of opinion between the State
and Defense Departments.
b Try to Plug Leaks
Mr.. ,Acheson did, however,
assert that IT would be pre-
mature at this time for the
United States even to con-
slider recognition of the Chi
nese Communist government.
Scheduled to appear before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee on Tuesday, the Secre-
tary is expected then to pro-
vide some further enlighten-
ment on the Presidents hint of
Wednesday that there should
be prompt action on a pro-
gram of scientific and economic
assistance to the Far East.
With the administration po-
sition thus exposed in clear
outline, the Departments of
Defense and of State are try
ing to shut off further "leaks"
or conversations from within
their own ranks. There was
much less likelihood that the
conversations would cease on
Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, Britain and a
growing number of our other
associate nations in the anti
Communist front have or are
preparing to withdraw recog-
milton from the Chinese Ma
tionalist Government and be-
stow it instead on the Chinese
Communist administration.
This trend of developments
assures that among those cer-
tain to participate in the gen.
eral confusion will be the
United Nations. where the Chi
nese Nationalist delegate is due
to preside at a session of the
Security Council during the
coming week. Five members Of
the Council no longer recognize
him as an official representative

Formosa. tiny island off the
China coast, has been the SUBJ
ject of more political turmoil in
Washington this past week
than the opening Of the new
session of Congress or the con-
tinuing pattern of the cold war
on all other fronts of the world.
1t has split departments and
bipartisan foreign policy fol-
lowers. It has become a symbol
on one side of appeasement
and a too little. too late" pol
icy; on the other a symbol of
cautious consistency. The arm
chair strategists, depending
upon which side of the contro-
versy they favor, have filled it
with American troops and de-
Tended it. by naval might-or
have washed it out as relatively
unimportant to our strategic,
interests in the Pacific. The
second-gueSSers have seized
upon it as proof that our Far
Eastern policy never has been
any good, or as a geographical
and political hot potato that
might, embarrass us before the
United Nations, jeopardize our
standing in. the eyes of other
Asiatic peoples and lead us
quite easily into a shooting war.
Cairo Promise Recalled
Long before SO many people
with opinions got into the act
the stage was being set private
ly for the public controversy.
Formosa was on. the periph-
cry of World War II strategy in
the Pacific, both japanese and
American. The island. part of
China for two centuries. had
been ceded to Japan as a result
of the Chinese-Japanese War
Of 1894-5. The Japs mounted
their invasion of the Philip
pines from there, using naval
and aerial installations that
had been built up over SO years
of occupation. At the Cairo
Conference in late 1943, Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
promised its restoration to
China in a personal pledge to
Chang Kai-shek. It was a
promise that fits, perhaps en-
barrassingly, into the jigsaw
puzzle of the present contro-
versy in the light of suggestions
today that we should hold the
island by force against annexa-
ton by the government of
mainland China. ..
Located somewhat off the
direct line of the Philippines
Okinawa approach to Japan,
although close enough to be
either an obstacle or an objec-
tive, Formosa received only sec
ondary attention from American
forces pushing their way north
ward for the planned assault
on the Japanese omeland.
Aerial and naval bombardment
was directed at the island and
its installations but the strate-

housing program. The faster the
amortization. the higher the
monthly payments by the tenant
the payments of interest plus
principal.
Lenders want short amortiza-
tions to be sure the mortgage is
paid off before the building de-
teriorates. But the Swedish CO.
operatives figure that a brick or
concrete structure should last 100
years, and that is roughly the
amortization period they intend to
maintain. An indispensable ele-
ment of the plan, however, is rig
idly efficient maintenance of
buildings, to prolong their lives.
Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont, Senator Sparkman and
Representative Multer, Demo-
crat. of New York, thrre of the
housing leaders III Congress who
made the European study. are
deeply interested In the Swedish
plan. But all of them are willing
to compromise ON any plan which
seems likely to produce q lot Of
middle income housing.
The housing bill which Senator
sparkman introduced last year
provided financing wholly through
Government loans. This would
mean cheap interest charges, but
1t would put the Government into
competition with private lenders
and in sense would amount to a
subsidy.
The plan aroused intense OPP
position in the House. Labor lead
ers still urge 1t. but congressional
observers say that no one now be-
neves 1t has any chance.

gic thinking of the Allies obvi-
ously was in terms of neutral
izing it's effectiveness as an
enemy base rather than of oc-
cupying it.
In September of 1945, approx
imately a month after the Jap
surrender, the island was taken
over by the Chinese Nationalist
government.
In the intervening four years,
American strategic thinking in
that portion of the Pacific con-
tinued to center on defense of
the Philippines and occupied
Japan with a concentration of
strength on Okinawa. Formosa
again was just on the outer
edge of this thinking and the
decision of Chang Kei-shek to
move his political and military
strength to the island seemed to
offer some guarantee of its
security. g.
The faster than anticipated
disintegration of Chinese Ma
tionalist tunes projected
d Formosa to the front of Ameri-
can strategic thinking in more
recent months. The distances
from Formosa to the Philippines
and Okinawa began to sound
shorter than those from the
Philippines and Okinawa. to
Formosa. No unclassified and
authoritative records of Defense
Department deliberations are
available but it is established
that powerful voices, report
edly among them Gen. Mac
Arthur's, asserted that the
island must not be allowed to
fall into Chinese Communist
hands.
Forceful prevention of such a
possibility. however, runs head
on into two vexing realities.
Red Invasion Doubted
One is that our present mill
tary. establishment is not suffi-
GENTLY deep in strength to per-
NIT convenient diversion of an
effectively substantial portion of
it to a vulnerable island fort
ress.
A second. important in State
Department thinking, is that
military occupation of the
island would be contrary to the
letter of the Cairo pledge and
that such action would be a
powerful propaganda weapon
in the hands of anti-American
influences in Asia. Rightly or
wrongly, also, State Department
sources do not consider the
island situation as acutely
urgent as the present contro-
versy implies; they feel that the
internal threat of communism
on Formosa has subsidized in re-
cent weeks as Chang has taken
certain steps to implement a
more liberal domestic rule and
that a military invasion from
the Chinese mainland is not
likely in the near future.

In the light of their evalua-
ton Of the time problem, Ger
tain State Department officials
are known to favor still greater
emphasis on the cooperative
idea, namely, recognition of
the Pacific pact principle,
creation of a joint defense
board with American partic-
ipaticn and diversion of an in
creased portion of the mill
tary assistance appropriation
to Asiatic friends. Even with
recognition of the Chinese
Communist government from
several anti Communist
sources, however, the State De-
partment does feel that our
own recognition should be
withheld or at least delayed.
Capitol Blows Lid
One climax of the entire
problem occurred the last week
in. December when President
Truman sat with the National
Security Council to consider
the Far East question in gen.
eral and that of :Formosa in
particular. The weight of the
conclusions was that no out
right military venture should
be attempted in Formosa, that
the Joint Chiefs of Staff should
study the problem further on a
scheduled trip to the Far East
and that other more moderate
steps might be taken.
In the intervening days the
lid has blown off on Capitol
Hill with Senator Knowland.
Republican, of California
spearheading a drive to force
vigorous and prompt steps to
hold Formosa. Former Presi-
dent Hoover and Senator Taft
have stepped forward with
comparable points of view with
the result that the administra-
ton is facing a hard-hitting
attack of its whole Far Eastern
policy.
Presidents Views
On Wednesday in his state
of-the-U Union message, Mr.. Tru-
man brushed over the problem
with a broad stroke but with a
significant clue to his thinking
when he said:
1T is more essential now
than ever, if the ideals of free
dom and representative gov
ernment are to prevail
particularly in he Far East,
that their people experience, in
their own lives. the benefits of
scientific and economic ad-
vances. This program will re-
quire the movement of large
amounts of capital from the in.
dustrial nations, and particu-
larly from the United States,
to productive uses in the under
developed areas of the world.

prompt action imperative"

Golden Triangle Project
Approved on Appeal
BY the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12.-The
PENNSYLVANIA Supreme Court yes
terday ruled the City of Pittsburgh
may condemn a blighted area OF
the Golden Triangle District and
turn it over to an insurance COM
pany for a $50,00O,00O redevelop-
ment.
The court dismissed a bill
brought by four owners of business
property in the area ordered con-
demned by the Urban Redevelop-
ment Authority of Pittsburgh.
They contended the proposed
multi-million dollar project was
unconstitutional because it didn't
involve refuse for public housing,
but is strictly for commercial pur-
poses.
The city plan would tear down
part of the main financial district
and would involve construction of
an historic park and other build
ings to be built by the State of
Pennsylvania.

The men who take down the
stenographic record of Senate pro-
ceedings figured out today that the
Senate put in about 500 hours
more in debate that the House
during the 1949 session.
In letter to the Senate Rules
Committee, seeking additional
help, and pointing out that one
official reporter has been i'll since
adjournment, the official report
ing staff emphasized the heavier
volume of transcribing in the Sen
ate over the House.
During the past session, ac-
cording to figures in the Record
Digest, the proceedings in the
Senate consumed Liza hours,
those in the House, 704 hou1s. q
difference of 400 hours. the latter
pointed out.
Considering all factors, the dit
ference amounts to 500 hours--16
work weeks. or four months. more
work for the Senate reporters than
for the House reporters-the letter
said.
