and use our Navy to maintain its
status quo"
Today, says Mr.. Acheson, Ko-
rea is the great and key issue"
IF we win there" he predicts,
I'VE will reap benefits everywhere;
it will cause our enemies to hes
itate over new aggressions and
show other small, independent
lands that, if they fight for free
dom, they can depend on our help.
Losing in Korea would damage
us everywhere. Therefore, we
cannot lose; if, at the worst, we
should be driven from the island,
we must prepare an armada and
return"
u. Ms Word Final .~-...
The United Nations, says Mr..
Acheson, will decide what will
happen when our Korean fighters
battle their way back to the 38th
parallel.
"Our assignment from the Sc
curity Council" he explains, sis
to restore Korean peace and Sc
curity. AS we approach the par
allel, the U. N. will decide what
must be done to complete that
assignment.
And what about Red China's
demand for U. N. seat?
"As long as Communists hold
a gum" Acheson says, 1--WE must
oppose that move. We have so
told the U. N. We have added,
however, that we will not walk
out over U. N. decision and have
said that we do not consider the
seating of permanent member
delegations as a question subject
to any ones veto. That last is
basic and all-important. The es-
tablished right to veto a seating
decision would mean that Com
munist members would forever
afterward block new represen-
tation from any changed and non-
Communist regime"
Mr.. Acheson feels State Depart
ment critics find some popular
backing in what he terms an "un-
derstandable" American miscon-
ception.
THE idea is loose in our coun-
try" he says, that we are all
powerful and can dictate world
affairs. That assumption leads to
the belief that, whenever some
thing goes wrong, some American
official must be at fault. The Red
capture of China was so regarded
by many. Actually, China's fall
was solely the fault of Chang
Kai-shek; he refused all friendly
advice, lost every vestige of his
popular support and was ulti-
mately taken to the Communist
cleaners"
Terming criticism "just an oc-
cupational hazard" Mr.. Ache
son shrugs off McCarthyism as
IAN unpleasant thing that makes
all our work harder" ,-.,.. r.
But his friends remembered q
remark seemingly indicating that
experienced as he is with un-
friendly critics, Mr.. Acheson' S
skin is not irnpenetrable. They
asked about a small bust on his
desk-the head of Artigas, Ura-
guay's George Washington.

son noted ruefully. He fought
valiantly in the defense of his
country and died in exile"

Explains to Friends
How He Feels About
Attacks on Policy
By Mortin S. Hoyden

This is Dean Acheson's answer
to his critics.
Blasted for months for having,
either mo" Far Eastern policy or
pro-Communist policy, or wav-
ering policy of indecision which
delivered China to the Reds and
backed America into a Korean de-
bacle, the Secretary of State has
remained quiet and at work.
Within recent days, however. he
has told his side of the story to
intimate friends.
AS repeated, it is a story of a
flve-year diplomatic tight-rope
walk in the Far East-an under
manned, underfinanced and un-
derarmed effort to block Commu-
mist inflltration and it's wooing of
Asiatic nations, while still making
clear to Asiatic people that Amer
lea favored their right to govern
ments of their own free choice.
1t is a story of a nerve cold
war that famed into hot war
when Communist tanks roared
across an unhappy dividing line
known as Korea's 38th parallel.
Finally. it is the story of a
weary administrator of inherited
policies, still trying to shrug off
editorial and congressional vitriol
and accusation as, "just an occu-
pational hazard of public life"
Mr.. Acheson sees Korea today
as the pivot point around which
the worlds future revolves. There
is, he says, no alternative to Amer
lean and United Nations victory
there. He regrets general lack of
public understanding as to how
the Korean situation got where
it is, and the error" of critics
contending that the State Depart
ment first abandoned Asia and
then jumped, unprepared, into an
Asiatic war.
Disarmed Too Fast
Our Far Eastern policy" Mr..
Acheson says, evolved CONSTANT
ly over period of years. I worked
on it as Assistant and Undersecre-
tary between 1941 and 1947. When
I became Secretary, assumed the
work results of my two immediate
predecessors (Secretaries Byrnes
and MarshalD. I agreed with and
carried on their policies, all for
mulated with direct presidential
approval.
Korea, Mr.. Acheson notes, was
a problem dumped by the war
into the lap of an unwilling
America.
"1," he said, had no part in
taking it on, although, had I been
the Secretary on August 10, 1945,
when it all began, I would have
done as Secretary Byrnes did"
On that date, just before the
japanese surrender, Russian
troops were in North Korea, no
Americans were on the island
and a decision as to handling a
japanese surrender was neces-
sary.
Russia" Mr.. Acheson en-
phasizes, could have then, and
up until the arrival of the first
Americans month later. oecu-
pied the whole island at will. But
she agreed to take a Northern
surrender and let the Japanese
in South Korea sit until Ameri-
cans could come to accept their
capitulation. With no intent on

its first roots in great state dur
ing the period of it's breakdown
through disintegration into dis

Rome Fell Apart
Rome was perhaps the first
truly a great state, in the modern
sense of that word. AS is the case
with the United States today. his
torical events constantly COM
PEELED Rome to expand its sphere
of influence. Ultimately, it became
one of "those institutions into
which decaying societies incorpo-
rate themselves in the last phases
of their lives" In the end, it be-
came like an "old tree whose roots
decayed until the wind tore them
up and overthrew the solid
trunk" Thereafter Rome ceased
to be a truly political state which
spread its rule throughout the
world. And, as breakdown and
dissolution felled that mighty oak,
there arose profoundly power
full universal ideal and idea which
had organized itself around the
cultural base of the dying Roman
pagan world, just as the univer-
sal ideal and idea of communism
has today organized itself around
the political base of Russia and
various other states.
Truly, the idea of universal
power was the essence of Chris
tian Roman imperialism, just as
today it is the essence of Rus
sian Communist imperialism-al-
though the promises of the for
mer to the humble and the weak
were promises to be fulfilled in
another life, while those of Com
munist Russia today are to be full
filed in this life.
Christian univerSalism officially
came into being with the EN-
'peror Constantine's edict of Mi
Ian in 313 AID. The great conglo-
meration of peoples that flowed,
fuidlike. into the Roman cru
chile as each Roman military VIC,
tory was won, had the effect OF
destroying the unity of the Ro-
man World. And as the ancient
pagan gods lost their influence
over the people, Christian univer-
saliSm became the rallying point.
1t was the ideal which, like COM
munism today, called for sacri-
flee and at the same time held
out hope and promises of reward.
Thereafter, throughout all the
Middle Ages. mans allegiance was,
upon peril of eternal salvation, to

And, as man in the Western world
became more and more imbued
with the idea of death and saliva
ton, religion ceased to be merely
an aspect of life, but instead pro-
vided the entire background of
life. Faith. which "is not an opin-
ion but certainty" became the
determining consideration in the
making of every cultural, political
and economic decision; reason
played only very small part in
those decisions. The king was first
