On the Other Hand
Senator Taft Would Be Opposed
To Gen. Eisenhower's Nomination

dc not think the argument neces-
sarily applies if the people chose
to elect that kind of man to that
office. I think that is an argument
against candidate. I think there
is a proper argument against hav-
ing general as such a candidate.
AS a rule-with the great excep-
ton of Gen. Washington-that has
not been a particular political
success"
There has been lot of talk
lately to the effect that Gov.
Dewey plans to throw Gen. Eisen-
hover in as his substitute if he
cannot get third nomination for
himself in 80. And. of course, the
yearning for a military hero as a
candidate is still strong in the
Republican Party. Some have
started suggesting Gen. MacAr-
thur again, in a careful sort of
way.
Matter of Principle.
The Senator from Ohio has now
served notice that he is against
the whole idea. Matter of prin-
ciple. He's not running" for the
office himself, at least not at the
moment, merely seeking to be re-
turned as Senator. But as a for
ward-looking statesman he doesn't
Shirk his duty to warn the people
against having a military man in
the White House.
Meantime he appears to have
his hands full in Ohio. This is
somewhat surprising, since until
recently his reelection had been
considered almost certain. But the
party managers from the Middle
States. meeting in Chicago, failed
to include Ohio among the States
they are confident of carrying
this fall. Their private informa-
ton may include some bad news.
1t may be that the fence-hopping,
handshaking, writing Joe
Ferguson is proving as hot a can
didate for the senatorship as he
always has been for State office.
Or it may be that the labor organ
izations are really making their
weight felt.
This last consideration, however
could work two ways. The nation
al labor leaders may throw their
weight around in a manner to an

en- and children-offer our intel
ligence officers vital data without
compensation.
Enemy Uses Passes.
The ell-indoctrinated North

tunes of war have deserted them.
are using literally the American
passes guaranteeing them good
treatment if they surrender. Red
prisoners, who in the early days
of the war were surly and uncom-
municative when questioned by
our intelligence officers, now are
fully cooperative and seem to en-
joy their new fate. Those who
are permitted to escape rejoin
their comrades as good and volun-
tary propagandists for the West
ern Capitalists.
There is reason to believe that
the situation will not be much
different with other Asiatic Com
munistS If we are compelled to
match our strength against theirs.
If the Kremlin decides that it
had better throw in the sponge
in Korea by leaving the field to
the victorious United Nations
and for all practical purposes to
the United States-the repercus-
Sions throughout the world may
be disastrous for the Kremlin S
plans.
The effect of a disaster will be
strongly felt in Indo- China, where
Ho Chi Mimi, Moscow's puppet,
has begun his offensive against the
French on schedule. Besides sup
port from the Chinese Communists
he was counting heavily-and with
good reason-on non -combatants
to facilitate his victories. Utter
defeat for the Reds in Korea is
bound to have important repercus-
sions in Indo-China.
People Side With Powers.
In Asia more than in Europe the
Communist leaders are fanatical.
The rank and file of people merely
side with the most powerful. If
the West, represented principally
by Americas ability to fight, gains
ascendancy because of its victories,
there is no telling what might
happen to the native Communist
leaders.
The Asiatic theology can be
summed up in two words, face"
and power" For a number of
years the West lost face because
of its apparent lack of power.
Moscow exploited this to it's full
est extent. Now if the tables are
turned the same masses which fol-
lowed the Red hammer and sickle
flag may be ready to throw it into
the garbage can.
This factor must be fully apprec-
lated by the rulers in the Krem-
lin, as it is by many thinking po-
litical men in the West. Moscow
will have to decide soon what
course to take: attempt further tc
weaken its opponents by rash
Of aggressions like those in Ko-
rea and Indo-China, or openly
throw down the gauntlet to the
capitalistic world.
