MATTER OF FRACTIONS

There is an expression. World War 2h," now
going around in the newspapers and there is much
discussion regarding who started that expression.
We will hand this distinction to the Cincinnati
Enquirer for last summer, if we remember rightly,
that expression appeared in column edited by Ollie
James.
The Chicago News which claimed to be first,
was several weeks behind Mr.. James. But the last
time we noticed Editor and Publisher magazine, there
was a paper in Mexico, Mo, which seemingly had
mentioned World War 21a" almost the instant it
started, or maybe before.
We think the Milwaukee Journal reached very

British Viewpoint

At this point Field Marshal Sir
William Slim, chief of the British
General Staff, was asked by Prime
Minister Clement Attlee to COM
ment OH the situation and give the
BritiEh view.
Slim replied that British infor-
nation on the military situation
was sketchier ti..an that of the
Unit. States, but that, on the ba-
sis Of the information already made
available to the U.K delegation, it
appeared futile to attempt to main
tain even a beachhead in Korea.
Slim argued for a total evacu-
alton The enormous effort that
would be required to supply a
beacnhead continuously, he main
tainad, would sap Allied powers at
an alarming rate. He pointed out
that supporting a beachhead would
ultimately require gigantic eff
fort again to liberate Korea. and
that. from the British viewpoint, it
would be impossible to mount this
effort in Korea while we were at
tempting to build necessary forces
against Russia in Europe.
Slim said that any thought of
again invading Korea after we had
been thrown out should be discard
ed On the grounds that it would
take greater effort to reinvade
Korea than it took to land the Al
lied eXpeditionary forces in Nor
mandy in World War II.
No mention was made of the use
CT the atomic bomb. 1t had been
agreed before Attlee arrived that
there were no suitable targets fol
using the bomb in Korea. Nor die
anyone express any criticism OF
General Macarthur at any time

es to fly reiniorcements to thu

was abandoned when it becami
clear that the reinforcements would
not stand off the Chinese hordes

The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1950-12-09

was eagerly looking forward to the
meeting. Attlee said that Sir Ben
egal had promptly communicated
this to Jebb who has not entertain
ed the Chinese Communists-al-
though only after one weeks de-
lay.
Attlee took the view that every
effort should be made to find out
from the Chinese Communists what
terms were agreeable to them. Tru-
man and Acheson did not warm
to this proposal, but agreed to let
the British take the lead in this
direction.
Note-In the words of one Brit
ish degelate, Attlee who plans to
play it by ear" hopes to get ag-
reement from Truman to a five
power, top-level meeting to be
held somewhere in Europe-perhaps
in Germany-fairly soon. At such a
meeting, Stain and Mao tse-Tung
would be invited to sit down with
the United States, Great Britain
and France to see if some formula
could not be worked out for saving
the peace of the world.
Note 2-Truman-Attlee talks are
unlike any of the wartime meetings
between Roosevelt and Churchill
No agenda was prepared in advance
No plans of any Importance were
made for presentation by either
side.

RECOGNIZING China

Sir Roger -Makins, representing
British Foreign Minister Ernest
Bevin, then raised the question OF
establishing some kind of relation
ship with the Chinese Communist
government to prevent, via diplo-
macy, further Chinese aggression
in the Far East. Truman asked
what was proposed.
Attlee replied that the great
weakness of the Allied position was
failure to conduct effective diplo-
matte conversations with the Chin
csc to determine their views.
Attlee told a revealing story
about how failure to have adequate
relationships with the Chinese
might he costing Allied lives. He
said that Sir Gladwyn Jebb. Brit
ish delegate to the United Nations,
had been alerted to seize any OPP
portunity to establish conversations
with the Chinese delegation headed
by General WI when the Chinese
Communists arrived in New York.
Jebb was introduced to WI at
Lake Success and said to the Chin
csc delegate: Lets have lunch to-
gether sometime soon" Jebb report
d sadly to London that this had
been dismissed by General WI with
a seemingly casual, "Oh, all right.
Attlee then reported that several
days later Sir Bengal N. Rau, tile
Indian UN delegate. who has been
holding conversations with the
Chinese Communists, casually ask
ed General WI if he was planning
to meet with any other delegations
while he was in New York.
General WI said that he hao
been invited to lunch by Sir Glad,
wyn Jebb, and that Jehb had not
set any date for it although WI
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1950-12-09

irving at the scene, would then
work out final details of the lnte-
grafton of the German army with
that of the French, British and
other Allies in the defense of Eu-
rope.
Attlee also made the point that 1t
was imperative to have decision
reached on Eisenhower at once
in order to demonstrate to Europe
that the western powers were not
hopelessly destroyd throughout the
world but were giving up in Korea
to fight another day in Europe.
The President agreed.
Attlee also relayed the French
view that the situation in Korea
made the situation in Indo-Chlna
virtually untenable. He said the
French wanted continued American
aid rushed to Indo-China, but no
longer expected any American CT
British military forces to actively
defend Indo-China.
Attlee reported that the French
were ready to activate 20 divisions
and that Britain, which already
had two divisions on the European
continent, would swiftly commit
an additional three divisions as
fast as arms were manufactured
and delivered. He pledged full CO.
operation to a high command set
up under General Eisenhower.
The American delegation agreed
with all these points.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1950-12-09
Combined Allied Supplies

Attlee then raised the question
of the establishment of a COM
bined materials resources board,
such as operated in World War IL.
He pointed out that the Allies were
competing with each other for
scarce raw materials in the Far
East to a point where fantastic
initiation had taken place. He urged
the immediate establishment of a
Joint, Anglo-American-French board
to do all strategic buying in the
Far East to solve this problem.
Secretary of State Acheson was
directed by President Truman to
go forward ON this front.

ANYWAY THE ADDRESS READS
JUNEAU RECEIVES IT'S MAIL

In the mail at the office of the
Alaska Development Board came a
letter today that had the staff
stopped for a moment, but being
the parent of young children,
George Sundborg, Board consultant
caught on quick. The letter was
addressed Estate Chamieircomes,
Juneaua, Alaskala," which clearly
and of course as deciphered by one
in the know, is State Chamber of
Commerce, Juneau, Alaska.
The letter enclosed was from
Eean Lindley, student in the lower
grades of an Ogden, Utah school
and it asked for information on
Alaska which would be of interest
to his geography class. Yes, the
wording of the letter had to be de-
ciphered too, Dean was sent the
information.

AS planned now, the setup is to
be headed by a deputy administra-

Under the deputy would be five
division heads for the jobs as

1t was said that some of these
divisions may be headed by officials

be under experts from the indus
