China. A horde of Chinese have
poured into Korea and are sweep
ing back the forces of the United
Nations, sent there to restore Or
der and enable the Koreans to set
up and maintain a government OF
their own choosing. Under nor
NAL conditions this would call for
a protest to the Chinese govern

Can't Reverse History.
Does the United Nations make
this demand of the Chinese gov
ernment which it recognizes, rec
ognizes even as one of the five
great powers possessing the power
of the veto in the Security Coun-
Gil? It does not, because OF the
manifest absurdity of doing so.
Every member of the United Ma
tions is aware of the fact that the
government still accepted by the
U. N. is no government whatever,
that it has no authority over the
Chinese people and is unlikely
ever again to have. There are few
who believe that the course of his
tory can be reversed and the band
of exiles now given sanctuary on
the island of Formosa restored to
rule over China.

None of our allies spoke then
about compromise, a diplomatic
term for surrender. Our ground
forces were still weak. but total
mobilization followed the enemy's
sneak attack. We had an army Of
draftees in the making.
Strategy Determined.
We were forced into a war on
two fronts, but our strategy had
been determined from the earliest
moment. We would attack the
Germans and Italians in Europe
with all our might, while the re-
mainder of our forces would be
engaged in holding operation in
the Pacific.
Such a strategy was feasible at
that stage of World War II. The
Japanese were engaged in China.
where some million troops were
fighting a slow-moving war
against the Chinese. They could
not commit their ground troops
entirely in the war against the
Western nations. Moreover, we
knew that we could seriously in
terfere with Japanese industrial
production by using our subma-
rines skillfully. Japan depended
on seaborne trade to obtain food
and strategic materials.
The situation is different today.
The Chinese and Russians are op-
Grating on interior lines of COM
They do not depend
on shipborne supplies. Our Navy
in the Far East is being used in
tactical support of the ground
forces, by providing gunfire and
by evacuating Allied troops if
necessary.
There is no organized resist
ance to the aggressors in Asia.
And we do not seem to want 1t
either. The anti-Communist guer-
