 Every time the Republicans get up, they have prepared speech, y Anderson complained. If they are able to do that on S1-a-plate din- . ters, we ought to be able to get H few speeches prepared for us on $l00-a-rlate dinners
 Except for Ellender of Louisiana, the attitude of the Democratic senators was to support President Tfuman's stand on Formosa. Their view was voiced by Senators Russell of Georgia and McKellar of Ten nessee, who agreed that the Am erican people don't want to go to war over Formosa."

fast play on the enemies of the Grammar Plan.
 Secretary Grammar solemnly an- nounced that surplus potatoes, which the government has been buying hand over fist at Sl08 a hushel would be given to any na- ton that wanted them. This was hailed as the answer to the spud problem.
 Actually Brannan was slyly point ing out the absurdity of the whole potato price, program. For here are the inside facts.
 l. Potatoes are so costly to trans port that no nation will take them even as a gift.
 2. Meanwhile, Uncle Sam will have to hand out $80,000,00O to buy an estimated surplus of 67,000,0 bushels. Of this mountain of spuds, only a drop in the bucket-l7,0O0,- 900 bushels-can be absorbed in school lunch and welfare programs.
 3. The price which Uncle Sam must pay for surplus Maine po- tatoes jumps from Sl.55 a hundred pounds last September to $2.20 in March, all of which is why Brannan maintains the only basic solution for surplus crops is to let prices drop to benefit the consumer and ray a subsidy to help the producer. This is the hub of the Brannan Plan.

just about as depressing a thing
as one can imagine.
Everything Is Dated.
Twenty-Five years ago we talked

might be withdrawn across the
7alu river.
The British prime minister,
Neville Chamberlain, felt sure
that by sacrificing Czechoslovakia
the world would avert World War
II. 1t Is hoped that the leaders
of the Western nations do not
make the same mistake.
The stark cold fact is that be-
hind the bellicose antics of the
Peiping authorities there is the
strong hand of Moscow, which
pulls the wires on which puppets
Mao TIE -tung, Chou En-lai aud
others are attached.
Chinese Never Aggressive.
The Chinese people never have
been known to be aggressive.
Whatever foreign wars they have
fought in the last 100 years were
forced on them. They relish fight
ing each other for power. but they
have never, in modern history,
been the aggressors.
The wars with Japan in the last
century were forced on the Chi
nese by the land-hungry Tokyo
warlords. There is no reason to
believe that within few years
the peace-minded Chinese have
changed their attitude toward the
outside world and have become
a warlike nation. For centuries
the local warlords had to impress
hungry Chinese into their armies
in exchange for a handful Of
rice and promise of loot from
their fellow countrymen. But the
masses never wanted to fight.
Today, under orders from Mos
COW, the Chinese rulers have Or
ganized some 3 million men into
military units. They are being
equipped with Russian materials
and trained in modern warfare by
Russian technicians. The Chinese
have no interests in territory
which has been detached from
their control since 1910. Their only
interest is to live and let live. But
like the other Soviet satellites,
they are not allowed to do what
they wish. They are being pushed
by their new masters into an ag-
gression which will cost them

us to fight a difficult and costly
winter campaign.
But the diplomats in New
York still hope that somehow or
other the ruffled feelings of Mos
cows Charlie McCarthys in Pei

the Chinese Reds might be in
duced-in a spirit of give and
take-to halt their Intervention.

Wherry Titular Leader.

a dim view of any usurpation of
his real or seeming rights. Be-
sides. though the public has yet
to take it seriously. Senator
Wherry has presidential aspira-

But Senator Taft has a strong

apparently still plans to exercise

Wherry the floor work. But where
Senator Taft sits will be the head

possible exception Of Senator

Next to his own success Senator
Taft Is most fortunate in the re-

witty and astute chairman of the

were good enough to win the
election this off-year, but they
couldn't be used if the party had
to go to the people next time on
a record of performance or non
performance. The party would
have to perform. It is unfortunate
for the country therefore that the
Republicans did not win enough
seats in the Senate and House to
take over full control.
Question Concerns People.
Since this hasn't happened,
the question that now concerns
the American people is whether
the Republican leaders have the
courage and capacity to accept
their moral responsibility. regard
less of politics.
We as people face the same
disaster that threatens the rest of
the world. Our position is pre-
carious. We have allowed our
selves to be drawn further and
further into the bottomless abyss
of Asia. Already our economy is
beginning to feel the strain and
already many of our homes have
given up their sons. And it may
be only the beginning. Indeed, it
surely is only the beginning unless
we find some way to reverse our
course.

was as practical as it was senti-
mental. Mr.. Republican can bring
a majority coalition to bear in the

seriously and certainly upon the
many economic aspects Of foreign
policy. With respect to the Presi-

argument against his nomination.
which was that he cannot get a
large popular vote.
Aldrich Era Recalled.
For a parallel to Senator Taft's
power, old-timers go back to the
halcyon Republican era prior to
World War. I when Senator Mel
son Aldrich of Rhode Island ran
the show with an iron hand. Sen
ator Aldrich had to cope with
Senator's of greater stature than
the present average: he also had
Presidents. a less
country and no such
crises as now must be faced.
AS Of now, the question OF what
Senator Taft thinks will go with
what President Truman proposes
like cream with coffee. There lies
his danger.
In matters of principle Senator
Taft wants to be reasonable, tries
to be and usually is. But when 1t
comes to specific proposals, he is
apt to take a position quickly and
hold it infexibly. Nor does he
hold back until the enemy's jugu-
lar vein is exposed; he is almost
always in the thick of any melee.
The natural corollary of this is
a certain lack of consideration for
the feelings and prerogatives of
others. Senator Taft spoke with
real feeling of Senator Vanden-
berg and hoped he would return
in January. But he had seen a
piece in the paper saying he had
called the new Republican Sena-
tors back here to q conference.

were thrown off the beam by the

any people might wish to remove
the yoke Of an exploiting regime

But to us Communism and Russia
were synonymous and we were
persuaded that by taking sides
against the Chinese Communists
we would be opposing Russia.
Opposite Now Seen True.
Now we are coming to see that
the opposite Is true, that we are
in a fair way to make permanent
the alliance between the new Chi
nese government and Soviet
Russia. Our troops are at the

already armed or capable of being
armed. To proceed further means
engaging ourselves in a war that
will require all our resources for
a generation. even if there is no
call upon us to fight elsewhere.
To merely hold the territory we
have taken back for Korea may
require us to ship thousands of
additional troops across the Pa
cific, while putting ourselves at
home on a full war basis.
A way must be found to extri-
cate our country from this morass.
The way cannot be found unless
the administration is now given
the loyal aid of those whose politi-
cal opportunism did so much to
get us into it. The Republican
leaders are now free agents. They
can forget their past irresponsible
obstructionism and meet the facts
of desperate state of affairs. Saw
ing their faces should be less i'm

This government, the West

the German people in elections
conducted without violence or
threats Of reprisal and with COM
plete secrecy Of vote. These con-
ditions should be guaranteed by
"a United Nations commission and

having in economic and political
matters equality Of status with all
other nations.
Finally. the Western powers
should. I think, advocate that
peace treaty be confined to ratify-
ing these principles, the Western
Allies with Russia being prepared
to withdraw military units from
German soil within q reasonable
period after conclusion Of peace
and pacification of the country.
The Russians, having made con-
ciliatory overtures, usually sabo-
tage their implementation. 1t is
entirely probable that they will,
in a showdown, reject any solution
that does not guarantee their
domination Of Germany. Diplo-
macy must make it clear that
this is intolerable to the Atlantic
countries.
But stubbornly to refuse to ex-
plore any possibility of agreement
along lines of mutual interest and
mutual security, is not politics or
diplomacy.
