Sherman Gets Green Light.
Admiral Forrest Sherman, Chief
of Naval Operations. is believed to
have obtained the green light
from Defense Secretary johnson
to strengthen-within budgetary
limits-the Pacific Fleet. which is
far, under par.
It is considered possible that
Congress would be willing to add
$50, ,000, 900 to the 1851 appropria-
ton to permit the Navy to take
out of mothballs a number Of air.
craft carriers. The operation Of a
carrier costs about $5,000,0 900 a
year and the operation Of a
squadron aboard the carrier costs
about $6,000,000.
1t appears that the Defense Sec
retary has an open mind about in
creasing the number of sea-going
aircraft bases. It also appears
that the international situation
will deteriorate in coming months,
particularly in the Far East.
The Air Force. which Congress
decided in 1948 needed q minimum
of 10 groups for time de-
tense of the United States, has
been reduced by executive order
to only 48 groups.
The Army has an overall
strength Of IL divisions, which in
clude those in Germany, Austria,
Trieste and Japan. Hence both
the air and ground arms of Amer
1can defense are nowhere near
the minimum necessary for the
defense Of our territory. They
cannot be built up overnight.

bag OF campaign promises to dam

ITO a large extent, Republicans
share the same sentiments. They
would rather hold back the food
Of general welfare bills and warn
the people of the dangers Of this
type Of legislation than to try to
reverse the flow after it starts. -
Sees Picture Clearly.
There, members Of Congress, il
how some others see you. Mr..
Cortright speaks from intimate
acquaintance, formed during his
lobby's successful fight against
liberal housing legislation in the
80th Congress and its futile fight
against the same legislation In
the flrst half of the present ses-
sion. He sees the picture so clear
ly that he dares to paint it In ad-
vance.
Without going so far as to say
that the average voter is as smart
as Mr.. Cortright. 1t is surely no
f1attery to say that the average
voter Is not dumb. While he may
not see the picture in advance, he
surely will see it once it is COM
pleted. Then what?
The average voter has taken
this Congress on trial. Just as he
took the 80th Congress. He is as
ready to render a verdict against
1t as he was against the 80th. He
expects action, not explanations.
The Republicans were turned out
In '46 and the Democrats restored
for this very reason. President
Truman's whirlwind tour would
have accomplished little had he
not been able to shoot the Re-
publican explanations full Of holes.
Unless the Democrats In Con-
gress perform between now and
next summer, President Truman
will not be able to save them. It
is one thing to attack and another
thing to defend. II the Democrats
put the President on the defen-
sive, or allow the Republicans to
do so. he can talk to all the wl1is-
tie stops between Millinocket
Maine, and Chula Vista, Califor-
MIA. and get only 4 laugh for his
pains.
Since the President understands
this better than anybody. 1t Is
possible to predict that he is pre-
pared to keep Congress in session
somewhat longer than some men,

I wO New Firm Voices
COP. Pressure on China Policy Mounts
Although Vandenbere Remains Moderate

q World War II veteran, and Mrs.
Knowland took the same journey
latter Congress adjourned and
even ventured into Chungking
just ahead of the Reds in their
determination to see for them
selves and form their own
judgments.
Senators Smith and Knowland
cannot be tossed lightly over the
administrations right shoulder
with the Jenners and Kems; they
know too much and their services
are too greatly needed in European
policy for that. It is. possible that
they are not helping their cause
by enlisting Herbert Hoover for
public pronouncements which
tends to give the affair a partisan
flavor in this election year.
Must be Answered.
Nevertheless it will be necessary
to answer them intelligently and
well. Senator Douglas, Illinois
Democrat. has already forecast
the debate and labelled 1t a severe
test of the bipartisan foreign
policy.
The key figure in the question
Of aid to Chang remains In Tokyo
Gen. Douglas Macarthur has
yet to be quoted directly on China
policy but in his private converse
tions with notable visitors he has
never spared his counsel. 1t is
Gen. MacArthur's views on the i'm
portance and desirability of hold
ing Formosa, Chiang's retreat,
which are appearing in the news
papers today. It Is Gen. Mac
Arthur who says there is still time
to save the island.
Gen. Macarthur sent Senator
Smith to Formosa in his own
plane, the Bataan, and saw to it
that the Knowlands got the trans
portation that they needed. Tokyo
reports that he has conferred
there with Chiang's representa-
tives.
No doubt the cry again will be
raised in Congress for Gen. Mac
Arthur to come home and advise
them. He won't though, unless
President Truman orders it.

even If the housing problem were

Of this country's strategic bases.
Belatedly in Picture.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff be-
latedly have come to the logical
conclusion that Formosa is very
important in the overall picture
of American defense. There al
ways is the possibility that our
policy of "too little, too late,'
which we have followed in the
Pacific, may bring the same re-
suits In Formosa that 1t has in
China.
While the Joint Chiefs plan to
go to the Far East for an obser-
-vation trip next month. the Chi
nese Communists may not wait for
the final decision" on Formosa
to be made in Washington. The
plan to send to Formosa a small
group Of military and civilian ad-
visers may boost the morale Of
Nationalist troops in that island.
But their presence will not deter
the Communists, either from at
tempting a landing operation or
from stirring up trouble from
within.
In the latter case Moscow
knows it can always count on
many liberal" voices being
raised in America against sup
porting the corrupt Chang
regime in an island which does
not want Kuomintang domina-
ton and wants to join the other
"free people OF China" under Mao
Tze-tung.
The administration, or at, least
some members Of the administra-
ton. and particularly President
Truman, tardily have become
aware that we frittered away our
opportunities in China and placed
a misconceived theology ahead Of
our own safety.
Gen. Macarthur, who is on the
spot and understands the situa-
ton very clearly. has been warn
ing his superiors in Washington
for many months about their
responsibility. His warnings fin
ally are being needed. But since
there is little time for any prepa-
ration to protect Formosa - the
link between Japan and the
Philippines - the Navy and pos
sibly the Marine combat division
on Guam may be called on to
pinch hit until the other branches
of national defense are readied
for q possible new emergency.
