When Cots Awoy

Private Opinions Made Public
Some sort of medal should be
struck and presented to the United

hold their tempers, and restrain
themselves from whacking Malik
over the head with the handiest
stick. is miracle to me Can't

pen at Lake Success if, say, Harold
Ickes, Leo Durocher and West

ance here before the U. N. their
armies back home were pouring
in a new wave of aggression
against U. N. armies, largely our
own American soldiers.
This feeling is understandable
and so are the questions raised
why were they asked to come
here in the first place? Why
not just throw them out?"
This angry and bitter reaction
over the Chinese Communist per-
formance before the U. N. trans
lates itself, naturally. into skep-
ticism about the U. N. itself,
which is on test now before the
world and consequently more vul-
nerable than ever before.
Look Back at Its Purpose.
Such an attitude is understand
able. too. but it rests on a very
flimsy base and reveals a lack
OF understanding of what the
United Nations is, and what its
mission Is. 1t Is good again to
take a look at the u. MS pur-
pose in order to keep our balance
and perspective for the big task
in which the U. N. now is engaged
to prevent another world war.
The U. N. was created to pro-
vide a place where representatives
Of nations could sit down together
and discuss their differences and
their problems and with authority
to act. Operating in that fash
ion 1t already has accomplished
a great deal. relieving tensions
which-without it-might have re-
suited in general war before
now. Operating in that way it
may yet save us from catastro-
phe. For. despite the hardened
front displayed by Communist
China's delegation, negotiations
are being carried on In the u. N.
directly, instead Of across great
distances. because of the simple
fact that China has representa-
tives present.
There are rooms and chairs and
tables where men can get together

Established Channels.
The foreign policy committees,
Of course, are the established
channels through which the State
Department must work and It's
plan is to continue extensive con-
situations to keep their members
thoroughly informed Of Develop
ments.
Any initiative to expand such
briefings to include q wide Sc
lection Of congressional leaders
must come from President Tru-
man. The President acted swiftly
to give his military requests that
kind Of backing. He has shown
a very much greater reluctance
to share his diplomatic RESPONSE
bilities.
There will be pressure on him
to do it nevertheless. Arguments
are being made that:
1t is only fair and sensible when
decisions Of such magnitude must
be made.
Unless 1t is done the country
will not have the requisite con-
fldence in the decisions being
made.

This Changing World
Subordination of Military to Diplomats
Described as Cause of Reverses in Korea

War is not q policy. Policies
are made by statesmen and diplo-
mats. When they fail in their eff
fort to maintain peace they order
the military to take over. Any
political interference - regardless
OF whether it is domestic or inter-
national-adversely affects mill
tary actions.
| In Korea the strategy of Gen.
Macarthur is subordinate to the
policies not only of his own gov
eminent. but also of a number of
governments which have given the
green light for military action.
although they contributed but
slightly to the military effort.
Diplomacy in these days, when
the Western nations are making
great efforts to eliminate power
politics, is a lot Of talk and even
more wishful thinking. The mill
tary operations in Korea were
well-calculated by the strategists
and would have been completed
several weeks ago If it had not
been for the Intervention Of Rus
sia through Its Chinese Commu-
mist puppets.
Diplomatic Hope.
While number of military men
were suspecting such intery ention.
the diplomats in Washington snd
at Lake Success consistently hoped
that China would not u'ove Its
hundreds of thousands of men If
she were not provoked. TC is prin-
cipally for this reason that the
offer of the Nationalist govern
ment on Formosa-whicn is a
member of the United Nations
to send three or four divisions to
Korea at the outset Of the opela-
tions was turned down. It is for
the same reason that after the
first Chinese divisions made their
appearance. following the destruc-
ton Of the Red Korean forces,
Gen. Macarthur was instructed
not to interfere with the concen-
trations Of the Chinese across the
Yalu River.
Regardless Of the failure Of in
telligence, it was obvious to any
average mind that 300,00 Chi
nese soldiers were not concen-
Jrated on the Korean -Mallchurian
border for any peaceful purpose.
Yet diplomacy took precedence
over strategy and no attempt was
permitted to disperse the concen-
tration Of this potential enemy
force.
War cannot be waged with kid
gloves. Any nation trying to do so
would be faced with disaster. We
have joined democratic nations In
the last two wars for theological
reasons. We lost many lives and
expended much Of our economic
substance. But once the political
men decided that we must fight,
we took of our gloves md hit
mercilessly wherever the military
decided 1t was to our best advar1-
tage. for the sake Of winning the
war.
We certainly are not doing this
now and grim consequences are
facing us today.

Communist aggression. It is true
that the enemy has had far
greater casualties. But while Red
troops are pouring into Korea by
tens of thousands from the mex
haustible reserves across the Yalu
River. there is only a trickle Of
Allied requirements and insignifi-
cant reinforcements.
Gen. Macarthur may be planning
certain important strategic moves,
but it is by no means certain that
they can be carried out in the
face Of the masses of Chinese
troops which are being thrown
into the battle without regard for
casualties.
Numbers OverpOwering.
No military man. even if he had
the genius of Alexander the Great.
Caesar and Napoleon, could cope
with the vast hordes which are at
tacking relentlessly against the
weary American soldiers and their
l.. allies. They are fighting over
whelming numbers.
At the same time the Allied Su-
preme Commander in the Pacific
is hog-tied by diplomatic rules.
Under existing limitations, i'm
posed by the United Nations, the
Air Force cannot bomb the Chi
nese concentrations in Manchuria.
And American war-planners have
counted heavily for the last three
years on American air superiority
in any conflict which would en-
gage our ground forces against
those Of a numerically superior
army.
What would have happened in
the last war If, after having
landed in France, the American
and British air forces had been
forbidden to bomb Hitler's lines
Of communications and the con-
centrations Of Nazi troops within
Germany because some diplomats
decided that this was not proper?
We might still be fighting in
Europe today.
In the Far East war we appear
to have adopted a new military
concept. namely, that military
strategy is subordinate to diplo-
matte policy. At no time in his
tory has such concept ever had
validity.

such body as the U. NJ, composed
as 1t is Of human beings repre-
senting different constituencies
with differing national and inter-
national aims. That should not
disturb anyone too much, and
certainly should not divert our at
teution from the basic objective.
We, Of all peoples, should under
stand that, since it goes on con-
stantly in our Congress and has
for quite long time. It is annoy
ing. but not necessarily disastrous.
A Good Thing to Know.
The visit here of the Chinese
Communist delegation. its actions
and its postures also have served
a purpose always served by put
ting men and issues on public
view. Through the mothering at
titude of the Russians toward
the Chinese. through the public
speeches Of the Chinese which
parrot Communist harangues now
so familiar, our people have
learned how close is the tie
between the two in q way they
never could have learned it from
merely being told of such a tight
association-and that is a good
thing for our people to know for
what lies ahead Of us. Such un-
derstanding only is possible in a
gold fish bowl operation like the
U. NJ. with everything that goes
on spread across our newspapers,
reported over the radio, and pic
tured by the camera.
A good way to assess the value
Of the U. N. is to imagine what
might have happened without it,
If nations had been dealing with
one another in this tense and con-
fused period in formal commune
cations, a method not conducive
to understanding. Instead, they
nave had common room, so to
speak. where their representatives
could meet and discuss their diff
ferences face to face, while at the
same time maintaining constant
communication with their own
governments as situations change.
From any one of a number of
explosive situations general wars
might have come had it not been
for the U. N. as, for example, the
Berlin blockade by the Soviets,
which ended as a result of nego-
tiations at the u. N. between our
DR.. Phillip c. Jessup and Russia's
Jacob Malik. and the Palestine
dispute which was settled by ne
gotiations conducted through the
U. N. Many others might be listed.
The present crisis is. Of course,
of far greater magnitude, but its
chances of peaceful solution with
out a general Asian war are far
better by virtue Of the u. N, since
every act Of the representatives of
the nations of the world are un-
der the close and careful observa-
ton Of the people of the world
who are bringing pressure to bear,
unseen, invisible, yet mighty.
