Dunkirk.
Until the First Marine Division,
now on the high seas, and the re-
inforced Second Division. which
has been alerted on the West
Coast, reach the battle scene the
units fighting in Korea are being
strengthened from what is left OF
the occupation force in Japan.
With these slim reinforcements
it will be difficult for American
troops to hold the present 150-
mile front against an enemy who
is ten times stronger numerically
well-supplied with modern wal
lmplements-in some instances far
superior to what we have in Japan
and capable. because Of his
superior strength, of making
sweeping flanking movements.
The present strategy seems to be
to trade space for time, fight a
rearguard action and bring our
troops to the south, in the general
area of Pusan. There the front
would be reduced to about so
miles.
We Can Hold Beachhead.
The consensus of all military
men in Washington and Tokyo
and at the front is that we can
hold that beachhead with our
present forces, regardless of what
powerful forces the Korean and
Chinese Communists pour against
them. The support Of the rapidly
increasing American naval and
air power. to which, more Ca
madam. British, New Zealand and
Australian units soon will be
added, will make such a beach,
head as nearly impregnable as any
stronghold can be, it is believed in
official circles.
There is no question, however,
that for offensive purposes the
forces we now are sending to the
Far East are far below minimum
requirements. At the end of this
month the Reds will have con-
quered a very large portion of the
South Korean republic. While
their combat troops are fighting,
the reserves are busy under Soviet
military engineers, erecting strong
defensive positions. Heavy artil-
lery and other equipment is
reaching the area from Man
churia-the main Soviet arsenal
in the Far East-and is rapidly
being placed in position.

Don't Miss Grand Place.
If you are ever in Brussels on a
Sunday, don't miss the Grand
Place, to my way of thinking the
most charming Square to be seen
anywhere. It is the original
Square of Brussels and is domi-
mated by the magnificent City
Hall on one side. and the one-time
Royal Palace, now known as the
Bread House. on the other. The
other buildings inclosing the
Square are the ancient Guild
Halls. Not single building is
out of keeping. There isn't a dis
cordant modern note in the whole
| Square.
The flower market occupies the
center of the Square every day
in the week. and the colors of
the flowers are intensified by the
gray Gothic buildings. On Sum
days. the colors of the flowers are
rivaled by the gaudy uniforms
and banners of half dozen or
more brass bands, parading and
playing just for the fun Of it.
From 8 to IL on Sundays bird
sellers are allowed to come and
display their hundreds of cages
filled with all sorts of birds. The
whole Square becomes a riot of
sound and color.

(! for this is surely a troubled world
Possibly this is the most fateful
decision Of all.
We are with you. and pray for
you.
A fellow who gets around hears
the questions the folks are ask
ing. They need simple, direct
answers. Some Of the questions
may be foolish-but they are what
trouble people. It would be good,
at the outset. for you to take
us into your confidence frankly
so we can button ourselves UP
and do the job that has to be-
done from here out, whatever it
may be.
One question you hear is why
there are not troops of other
United Nations over there slug
ging it out alongside ours. This
is rather important for the reason
that this is a United Nations
operation, its first test is a case
of open aggression, test that SO
far our world organization has
met nlagnificently, for which we
are thankful, and the faith of
our people has been revived. The
United Nations flag is flying there
now. That's a symbol. Our people
would like the troops of other
nations under that as more
substantial symbol. It's good tt
have company when you are
walking in the dark. It may be q
long walk.
A Few Might Help.
We know that England, Aus.

lands have them on the way. w,
know here, too, that other nations
which are solidly back of us hav,
commitments of their own ant
must be on hand and ready tt
protect other exposed points o

are doing their share. But the eye

and hope in the United Nations i
NOW concentrated there, and i
might help If some Of them-evei
only q few-were in Korea alonl

to know more about that.

is like this: If we have been spend

tain. Legend has it that the
youngster was the son Of prince
and wandered away from home.
Frantic, the prince offered large
reward to any one who found the
little fellow. and promised to have
a statue made of him just as he
was when found.
The statue one sees today gives
away the secret Of what the
youngster was doing.
Louis XIV Gave Uniform.
His first uniform was given him
by Louis the Fourteenth who, like
millions since, was charmed by the
roguish look on the little statues
face. King Louis gave him a min
iature Of the uniform Of a full
general in the French Army. His
wardrobe now contains 81 uni
forms. donated by dignitaries from
all over the world. His latest ac-
QUESTION is a full CT uniform, gift
of the American troops in Brus-
sells in World War II.
On gala days during the year
the statue is dressed in first one
uniform and then another. so that
his doting public may admire the
becomingness of each one. No
matter what uniform he is wear
ing the fountain never ceases to
flow, which, I am told. adds
greatly to the hilarity Of the oc-
caSion.
The statue has been stolen q
number Of times. but always has
been recovered and restored to its
place on the street corner.
It would be interesting to know
how much money the little statue
has made, not only for Brussels,
but for Belgium. He appears on
pins. rings, neckties, scarves,
handkerchiefs. etc. You can buy
him in Brussels lace for 5000, cast
in gold and silver. on watch fobs,
embroidered on baby bibs. stamped
on leather billfolds, hand-painted
on ivory, and stamped on ash
trays.
1t is difficult to buy a postcard
in Belgium that doesn't have the
youngster on it somewhere. and

cient to throw the Reds back be-
hind the 38th parallel is being
drastically revised. After nearly
three weeks of fighting, the
American high command realizes
that the enemy is determined
flushed with victory and as we'll
equipped as any army can hope
for.
We are not fighting the Korean
Reds. but the entire might o1
Russia in the Far East. supported
by a large number Of Chinese
Reds and their large stockpiles
Of military equipment built UP ir
Manchuria and Siberia in the last
three years.
In these conditions it is obvious
that the United Nations forces
which at present are exclusively
American as far as the ground
forces are concerned and 95 pei
cent American In naval and all
units-cannot do the job with re-
Inducements available in this
country.
The urgent appeal by Trygve
Lie, U. N. secretary general, to So
other members Of that organiza-
ton to send ground forces to
Korea as quickly as possible is a
highly laudable move, but it is
feared that it will be of little prac-
tical value.
Few Britons Available.
Britain has few men available
for such a purpose. Whatever
forces she can spare are engaged
in fighting the Communists in
Malaga. Her Hong Kong garrison
must stand by for a probable
emergency in that crown colony.
The same thing applies to France,
which is making her maximum
war effort in Indo- China, where
some 10000 metropolitan troops
are fighting with their backs to
the wall against the Communists
led by Moscow's puppet, Ho Chi
Mimi. The rest of Europe can
barely provide token detachments.
From the political angle the
presence of these other United
Nations troops in Korea would
be an asset. But from the purely
military standpoint it would be a
headache. for we not only would
have to provide them with trans
portation to Korea over thousands
of miles Of water, but we would
have to supply them with food
and war materials after they got
there.
The Latin American republics
have small armed forces, but they
are needed at home. Most of
them are faced with the problem
of putting down Communist out
breaks. India can provide nothing.
PakiStan may be able to send
some contingents, which we must
supply. Nationalist China alone
is able to send as many as 10000
men. They are already equipped
with American war materiel and
are within stones throw of
Korea, but they have been elimi-
mated from Mr.. Lies list because
of the risk Of drawing the Chinese
Communists into the war.
The main effort. however, must

higher taxes. Rationing, price
control and freezing Of wages are
not in today's picture. Labor will
be let alone unless and until it
becomes a problem by its own ac-
tionS.
These are the immediate prob
lens and probable decisions. An
anxious Congress is not expected
to balk at them. None will care

It will not be stated but it is
tacitly agreed that those Far

porary casualties. Mr.. Roosevelt
In 1912 inferred the New Deal
and suggested "Win-the-W War" as
the description Of his administra-
ton. Mr.. Truman does not admit
the word war" to his present
lexicon; stop Aggression" more
accurately pictures what he con-
siders the first duty and distin-
gushing mark of the 1850 Tru-
man administration.

stop-aggression measures are be-
fore Congress and the public. he
is being pressed to consider long

ingness to resort to force. With
a simple set of figures the Interior
Department has posed the ques-
ton of whether America can
count on getting through a sus-
tanned emergency period with its
present plant.
In 1910 the country had a 40
per cent reserve power capacity
for the great war machine that
then began to hum. At no time
during the war did that reserve
drop below 18 per cent. Today. ac-
cording to Interior, the reserve
power capacity is only II per
cent and the extra war work now
enviSaged has not started.

Since the Federal Government

the required huge appropriations
would temporarily add to the def

It's advocates counter that the
country will absorb the increased
capacity in peacetime exactly as
it has in the past.
