created by General siacAuthur's
tardily withdrawn message to
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The whole episode illustrates
once more the difficulties-and
h e necessity-of coordinating
military and diplomatic purposes.
The general presents a cogent,
well-argued case for Formosa's
value as a vital military outpost.
1t reinforces the view credited to
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff that the
United States should not allow
the island to fall into the hands
of enemies.
The Macarthur argument that
in such case defense of Okinawa
and the Philippines from air and
submarine attacks would be
d oubly difficult is persuasive.
Some military opinion holds that
Formosa itself represents a

Yet Americas overall military
planning cannot be based on one

mander with the reputation of
General Macarthur. We cannot
forget t hat in 1912 he-quite
naturally from his viewpoint
urged that the United States re-
verse its plans and m a k e its
major effort in the Pacific. Mr..
Churchill has just warned US that
Europe is once more the center
Of danger. Thoughtful American
observers Of the worldwide front
against Communist aggression
have told US that it might even
be necessary to let Korea go if
Russia started hostilities in
Europe. Apparently tn e joint
chiefs would like to have For
mosa. But do they, who m u S
weigh Americas defense obliga-
tons around the whole perimeter,
rate it as highly as does General
Macarthur?
Yet even unanimous military
opinion could not be conclusive
in the determination of national
policy. One of the chief mistakes
made so far in combating COM
munism has been a failure to rec
ognize that moral factors count
more than military, friends more
than force. Even from a military
standpoint it should be clear that
mistaken policies can drive the
Asian peoples into the Kremlin's
arms-and create military prob

of America cannot deal.

fears of millions who felt Am

We trust this position will
be firmly held. For even accept

What are the moral and mental

methods which could lose Asia to

gineer of the department and w.

G. S. Frary, head of the project

party to different parts Of the pro-

main canal, where water is receiv-
ed from the Two Medicine river.
Other operators on the project
besides Frary: Duane Summons,
Bud and Kyle Momberg, Fred Co.
bell, Jim McNutt. Dan Milestone
accompanied the delegation on its
tour.
Main discussion centered around
the enlargement and buttressing of
the canal with cement in sections
where slides due to washouts affect
its efficient delivery of water for
irrigating lands on the Two Med
icine.
Anspach recalled that this canal,
built more than 40 years ago and
with crude construction mechan-
ism, had served its purpose pretty
well but now the increasing de-
mands made necessary the mod
ernization contemplated for the
coming year, providing the budget
allowance will permit. The budget
provision, by the way, is now in
the hands of congressional con-
ference committee.

would steal through the mothers
fingers and the child would feel it
and know that while he had dis
obeyed and brought this pain upon
himself his mother was sorry for
him, sorry even though he had
been naughty. That in itself would
ease some of his pain.
ALI his pain was not physical.
Some of it was mental. He suf-
fered in the knowledge that his
disobedience had brought this evil
on him, that he had hurt his
mother as we'll as himself. BY
attending to his hurt his mother
would heal the injury to his finger
and at the same time avoid a
psychic wound that might be very
difficult to reach and heal in time
to come.
Any hurt child receives should
be treated promptly under what
ever circumstances he invited it.
And the attitude of those who
treat him should be such as to
heal any mental wound he might
receive at the same time. This
last idea is highly important, quite
as important as the first. Physical
hurts are easily mended but
psychic ones are difficult because
hidden. Watch that they are not
made heedlessly and that every
precaution is taken to heal them
promptly if their presence is so
much as suspected.
