Acheson, Macarthur Stay
Nations May Not Back u. S. on China;
Truman Ill-tempered at Criticism

always known, that the U. N.
members who went along on
Korea may run out on Red China
The President strongly limited.
Thursday that he thinks critics of
what has happened are poor
sports. But it does not make any
difference to the situation what
he thinks, these nations are 60
ing to be heard before they are
further committed in the Far
East.
| They are also questioning
whether the basis of United States
policy still is to save Europe
first and do as much in Asia as
possible. They believed this to
be true when they signed the
Atlantic Pact with its corollary
of military assistance Their
judgment is that United States
military power will not stretch to
war in both West and East.
This has always been the judg-
ment, too, of those military spokes-
men who came to Capitol Hill
They have always, according to an
informed Senator, viewed Europe
as the great prize for which. in
any showdown, this country must
choose to contend. Ironically, it
is now Secretary Acheson, so often
accused of thwarting the military,
who is insisting that this country
cannot abandon it's course in the
United Nations respecting Korea:
it is Mr.. Acheson who is conduct
ing the great effort to persuade
the reluctant allies to stick to the
bitter end.
Europe Admires Acheson.
The Secretary of State is ad-
mired and trusted in Europe.
which breathed a great collective
sigh Of relief when he stayed and
Louis johnson went as Secretary
of Defense. The Acheson strength
in Europe in this crisis has neu-
tralized the political drive on him
from Capitol Hill from those Dem
ocratic sources which thought re-
Gently to secure his custer.
The President, in theory. has
conceded many times that mat
ters must never march to war
without a meeting at least at
tempted between him and Stain.
But he has SO far protested that
| it was not the time to do it. He
is obviously not now in the mood
either for compromise, despite the
swift pace of events.
Yet many people believe that
the one occasion on which he
did move toward a meeting with
Stain to resolve world tension
his abortive proposal in the fall
of 1948 to send Chief Justice Vim
son to Moscow, contributed largely
to winning him reelection.

THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. G. Ali


slipshod in my preparations,
reaching the stadium without a
ticket, and gate crashing this
game Is no easy matter. I got in
by one Of those once-in-a-life-
time happenings. Just as I painted
up to the stadium President Tru-
man and his encourage of auto
mobiles and attendants arrived
In the excitement I trotted
through the gates alongside one
Of the cars, doing my very best
to look like a Secret Service man
or an employe Of the State De-
partment with hot bit of in
formation for the President.
I knew that sort of thing
wouldn't work this year, what with
the attempted assassination still
fresh in the memory of the Secret
Service, SO I got myself a ticket,
Arrived in Advance.
And came to Philadelphia in
advance. The teams always come
in advance to get a good night S
rest before the battle. and to get
acclimated. I'm just as human as
the players, so. I reasoned. why
shouldn't I be in tip-top shape
before making my predictions.
I had good, restful IS minutes
of sleep last night and got up this
morning feeling on top of the
world. Or. to be more truthful,
as If the top of the world were
on me. After a rousing good
breakfast Of aspirin tablets, sunny
side up. and an ice-cold shower
(most of which drank, I called
West Point and asked if the team
had left for Philadelphia. Then
called Annapolis to get the same
information. No use picking a
team that isn't going to show up.
After read the selections of all
the Philly sportswriters, shaved
with straight razor just to prove
to myself that I could resist the
temptation to cut my throat, !
went out to Municipal Stadium to
inspect the seating arrangements,
the turf, the exits and entrances,
the goal posts, and the wind and
temperature.
Armed with this information,
I went back to my hotel room and
studied it.
It showed but one thing-Navy
will win.

gain to help Constantine Brown.
Western Europe rearm and have
sent across the Atlantic nearly q
billion dollars worth of war ma
terial. Unfortunately, none of the
Atlantic Pact nations had made
any effort to translate the blue
prints for military preparedness
into actuality.
Instead the French. by a mar
row. sighted policy. have sue
ceeded in turning the Western
Germans against any form of mill
tary cooperation, at time when
lmanpower is the most critical item
in our defense plans. Because OF
opposition by the Labor govern
ment in England and the Socialist
government in France. nothing is
being done to increase the military
potential of Spain. which has the
manpower but lacks modern war
equipment.
Spain is more important to us
today than she has even been. II
the Red forces moved across the
Elbe and engulfed defenseless
Western Europe, the Iberian Pen
insula would be the only area
where the Allied forces could
withdraw to organize a counter
offensive with the assistance of
the Spanish army. It is our only
foothold for counterattack after
general mobilization has been Or
dered in this country.
Attacks ON Macarthur.
But understandable as this jit-
terry tension may be in Western
Europe. and particularly France,
it is difficult to reconcile 1t with
the violent attacks against the
Allied supreme commander in the
Pacific, Gen. Macarthur. Such
attacks. made in the French press
or on the floor of the French Ma
tional Assembly. would have little
Importance as propaganda mate
rial for our enemies. But it is re-
ported that the highest dignitaries
in Paris have said they intend to
ask Washington, unoff1cially. for
Gen. MacArthur's dismissal.
There is no question that any
member of the United Nations is
entitled to make direct repre-
sentations to that organization
and to ask for replacement of the
commander of U. N. forces in
Korea if he is considered to have
made mistake. But that is true
in theory only.
The French contribution to the
U. N. forces in Korea is limited
to one sloop-a small craft carry
ing a crew of 81. Nobody has any
quarrel with this insignificant
Evening star., 1950-12-01
By Thomas L. Stokes

We are an excitable people-we
Americans. In times of sudden
crisis, such as now, we often for
get our own strength. We also
forget that it has been that
strength exerted patiently which,
in the end, has brought us out of
every national crisis. An example
that should be fresh in memory
is the gruelling war that ended
only five years ago.
We plunge ourselves deep in
despair, and we go just as quickly
to the other extreme in undue
optimism.
When something surprising hap
pens, brutally surprising as in Ko-
rea today and as at Pearl Harbor
10 years ago, we want TO- strike
out in our just and justified anger
impulsively, get to the enemy at
once, annihilate him, and be done
with it and go on about our busi-
ness. It never has been as simple
as that, and can't be now.
Korea has provoked two tenn
peramental reactions that are un-
derstandable but loaded with
danger.
One is the demand rising all
around that we use the atom bomb
and get it over quick.
Isolationism Alternative.
/ The other Is retreat into iso-
lationism, an impetuous cry that
we forget about the rest of the
world, shake off any contact with
our allies elsewhere, wash our
hands of them, stop spending our
money and resources to help them,
and somehow or other-nobody
ever has explained how-wall our
selves in, building up the biggest
military force the world ever saw
and sit here and wait for some
body to come and get us, or 20
out ourselves, alone, and get them
1t is not that simplicity either
route-and deep down we know
that instinctively.
Tt was inevitable that the ques-
ton about the atom bomb eventu-
ally should be posed to the Presi-
dent, and so it was, in his first
press conference after the new
mass Chinese Communist invasion
of Korea from Manchuria. Asked
if there was "active consideration
of the bombs use, Mr.. Truman
replied that there always had been
active consideration of it's use. II
is, he said. one of our military
weapons.
World Expresses Alarm.
A layman, sitting before the
President and hearing that, prob.
ably would take it as a Logical
answer to explain routine military
policy. But any newspapermar
there knew at once, in view of the
current crisis, that it would be
splashed in big, bold type across
the front OF the next edition o1
newspapers all over the country
and the world, and so it was
Quickly the alarm came rollins
back in waves from all over the
world.
The President. it was thought
had come to understand the sig.
nif1cance of anything he says, bat
apparently this surprised him. Fol

contribution. The French have
la full-scale war on their hands
In Indo- China, where their forces
amounting to some 10000 men
are taking severe punishment
from the Reds. Because Of the
campaign in that country they
have depleted their own forces
| in Europe to the point where they
can hardly be described as ar
army.
Bombers Sent to French.
During the lull in Korea. when
lit was believed that the Chinese
Reds were making only q token
demonstration to assure politicaI
advantages for themselves in the
U. N, two groups of B-24s were
reported to have been flown tc
Indo- China and placed at the
disposal of French airmen.
In the opinion of the French
Gen. Macarthur has been guilty
of excessive aggressiveness and Of
influencing Washington and the
United Nations to let him press
his attack on the enemy relent-
lessly. Reports from Paris Official
quarters say the French cabinet
regretted his drive north of the
38th Parallel and his offensive tc
reach the Yalu River. This be-
lief also is understandable.
Since 1870 the French military
has had a defensive psychology
During the war with Prussia the
French sat behind the walls oil
the Metz fortress and finally sur
rendered 1t with nearly 1O0, 0,O0C
men. In World War II they also
sat behind the Maginot Line anc
let the Germans break through
the Ardennes. Their 100 divisions
collapsed in 40 days because OF
the defensive attitude of the
French general staff and political
leaders.
The military axiom that the
offensive Is the best defense il
now alien to French military
thinking. According to 1t. Gen
Walton H. Walker. commander oi
the 9Th Army in Korea, last
weeks Inflated offensive was nee
|essary to forestall a Chinese drive
10 days later which might have
had worse consequences than our
recent defeat.
Force 80 Per Cent American.
Gen. Macarthur is command
ing a United Nations force, more
than 80 per cent of which is
American. Any changes in the
high command will have to be
made by President Truman, <whc
lis a better Judge of conditions
than the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the Allies in Tokyo. Dis
patches from Paris quoted the
latter as having urged Gen. Mac
Arthur to "sit tight" In Korea.
Nobody can deny our associates
across the Atlantic the right to
make critical observations about
the conduct Of a campaign in
which all of us nominally are
participating. So long as these
high officials communicate their
views quietly to our Government
there can be no objection. But
when they make public their
Ipanicky criticisms, all they do is
serve the Russian propaganda
campaign, which still strives to
destroy what unity there is
among the Western nations. And
In this our European friends are
rendering a disservice both to
themselves and to us.

aroused the Presidential temper,
even before Republican Senators
accused Mr.. Acheson Of trying to
oust Gen. Macarthur. was long
article recently In Pravda. In the
choice Soviet propaganda style,
the article wrapped up excerpts
from leading United States news
papers repeating various criticisms
Of the Secretary of State and
sometimes adding unflattering
comments Of their own.
Pravda's conclusion consisted OF
advice to United States allies in
Europe that they had better call
1t quits on an America which ad-
mitted its Secretary of State was
incompetent and unpatriotic.
The President is described as
harshly bitter over what he re-
garded as such aid and comfort
to the enemy.
Kept Discussion Down.
The Presidents efforts at his
ily-attended press conference
were largely directed at keeping
discussion and speculation on the
tracks already laid down. But
the London announcement that
United States, British and French
diplomats will confer next week
In Paris about possible meeting
with Russia shows how far and
how fast reassessments of the Sit
uation have already proceeded.
Up to now Gen. MacArthur's
unbroken successes have effectu-
ally smothered British and other
misgivings about the growing
United States commitments in the
Far East. The present failure and
plain menace of war with Rec
China have lifted the lid.
The President does not want tc
back down on Red China or de-
f1ance to Communism in Europe
or on any other actions he has
initiated. But he knows, as he has

later the White House felt COM

ment to the effect that the Presi-
dent. alone, can issue orders for

Bombs a Big Responsibility.
Revealing the sudden swift
changes characteristic of us as a
people, those reading the headlines
were noted, here and there, to be
buoyed up Immediately, perking up
their shoulders cockily, again filled
with confidence, and saying in
effect:
"That'll fix 'em. We've got the
bomb"
Again pacified and satisfied.
Yes. we have got the bomb
piles OF them. Because of that we
have grave trust which makes us
responsible to all of civilization,
and for all Of hereafter. If we
went ahead recklessly and used it,
we would start q train Of events
that nobody could foretell.
The President, himself, limited
at our awful responsibility when
ne said 1t is a terrible weapon and
should not be used on innocent
women and children who have
nothing to do with aggression. The
retaliation, Of course, would hit our
innocent women and children.
Bomb No Answer.
The bomb is no answer-at least
yet-but could be the beginning
lof something for which we, who
proudly regard ourselves as the
trustees OF civilization, might never
be able to answer. Nor, in the
purely military sense is it the
answer. according to our military
men who continually warn against
sole reliance upon it. and most
forcibly since Russia also now has
the bomb.
No, the answer is not there. nor

tlonism. but in the building of our
