Red Cross Campaign To Start April IS

Seward Chapter American Red Cross has obtained special permission from the Pacific Area Office, San Francisco, to delay the local fund campaign until April IS, as announced by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, chapter chair man.
 "The month of March, al- though it is the period estab- lished by the National Red Cross for the Fund Campaign, seems to be the most difficult time in the year for Seward" said Mrs. Kirkpatrick. "A slow winter on the docks, and the fact that all other organizations seem to choose February and March for money raising projects, seems to indicate that April is much better time"
 After explaining the situation to MT. Earl E. Dumbross, Re gional Director, he agreed with the local chapter to delay the campaign until more appropri- ate season, and allowed until May 1 for the final report.

Methodist College Location
 Has Not Been Chosen

The committee for the loca- tion of the new Methodist col lege for Alaska will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 19. Rumors are going around that the location has been decided upon and that Ketchikan has been chosen. Other rumors have it that Juneau is the place, and still other rumors say other towns. Each boat that comes in brings new rumors. Let us now restate for the benefit of all that the college location has not yet been decided and it is up to the citizens of Seward to make every last minute effort to get the committee to decide in fa- vor of Seward.
 One set of rumors had it that the building was already under construction in Ketchikan. This is absolutely false for the simple reason that all the money for the school has not yet been raised Another set of rumors said that Juneau had been chosen and the contracts let. Also, it is very definite that the S70,O0O,0OO Public Works con- struction in Alaska has nothing to do with the proposed college.
 If readers hear any such ru- mors they should do their best to kill them, for the college To- cation committee has not yet met and has not yet decided up on the location. Write your let ters now, Next month will be too late!
 Following is a list of the col lege location committee:

I jumped up and down with sheer
glee. called friends who knew
hadn't been so fortunate and told
them what had happened to me.
Then I got right down to busi-

So did Jean, who knew what
this meant to me. Another rung
up that old social ladder, which is
so dear to both our hearts.
While I started dyeing some old
brown and white saddle shoes

By the time my shoes were

One of the loveliest things in
the world is the gleam of pride
in a wife's eyes. and Jean had
that look of pride when she saw
me safely through the turnstiles
and on the downtown Lexington
avenue subway.
I don't want to brag, but 7 was

one Congressman suggested Mr..
Acheson had the unique experience
of talking to congressional COM
mittees on which there were no
Democrats or Republicans, his
news was too serious.
This sobernesS was reflected
throughout the day in corridor
conversation at the Capitol. No
one talked of anything but Korea
but few would be quoted and
nearly every one of the few was
circumspect beyond normal habit
in dealing with foreign policy.
Some Democrats admitted to be-
ing tempted almost beyond their
strength by the fact that this
time the Republican idol, General
seems to be on the
defensive with respect to his tao
tics and even more his statement
(since partially disavowed) about
the boys eating Christmas din
ner at home. The latter is the
kind of error with which President
Truman and Secretary Acheson
have been much afflicted and they
have been made to pay for 1t in
forums from Maine to California.
There was plenty Of discussion
about what the generals reasons
were for moving his offensive and
suggesting so much optimism re-
garding 1t but at a late hour
the critics were holding back.
Pentagon sources are now talking
about faulty intelligence" an
Evening star., 1950-11-29

our defense strategy to be built
around the bomb is now hearing
cries that the atom bomb should
be dropped on strategic targets.
Some Senators are saying. as did
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming
Democrat, that an ultimatum
should be sent to Soviet Russia
demanding that Moscow withdraw
the Chinese Communist armies
her puppets-from Korea.
Drift Toward Retreat.
The passage by the u. N. of a
resolution declaring either Russia
or Communist China or both to
be aggressors depends entirely on
what the u. N. members will do
to back up such a resolution. II,
for example. the United States
hasn't the power. without the
atom bomb. to fight back at the
Chinese or the Russians in the
Far East, then it will be of little
avail for the U. N. to get tough
with anybody.
The whole affair may be shock
ing but. just as Munich shocked
the British and taught them that
they were buying time by appease-
ment. so it will be argued now
Evening star., 1950-11-29

that appeasement is a military
necessity.
The drift is toward retreat in
our foreign policy for the simple
reason that, while we were
equipped to defeat the North Kor-
cans, we do not have enough man.
power to fight the Chinese Com
munists and their Russian allies
in Siberia.
II the Chinese Communists in
sist on forcing us out Of Korea
altogether, 1t seems likely that we
would then actively aid the Chi
nese Nationalists to get their 300,-
600 troops to the mainland. Amer
lea would supply them with NUM-
tions and give them air and sea
support in and around Formosa.
The fact that President Truman's
order last June forbade the Ma
tionalists to attack the Chinese
mainland has. curiously enough,
worked out to enable the Commu-
nists to transfer their own forces
to Korea without fear Of attack in
their rear. This situation may be
revised at any moment now If a
negotiated peace fails.

Finds Congress in Sobered Temper

alibi that usually results in de-
mands for investigation of the
intelligence service.
1t would be only natural if Sec
retary Acheson noted, too that this
time he was not the obvious whip
ping boy. But the Secretary met
any temptation to comment, if
1t existed, with the same correct
restraint with which he met and
conquered former Secretary of
Defense johnson in the recent
past.
Other Reflections on Hill.
There were other reflections on
the Hill of the suddenly sobered
congressional temper. Chairman
Mcmahon of the Atomic Energy
Committee waved aside questions
about his opinion on the use of
the atomic bomb and later re-
vealed he had promised himself
to curb his quick Irish tongue
and partisan spirit in so grave
a situation. The Senator has lust
been reelected in a campaign
marked by much haunting about
foreign policy.
In meeting of the Republican
Policy Committee. Senator Milli-
kin Of Colorado. also newly re-
elected. urged his colleagues to
employ restraint in dealing with
these vital issues. He reminded
them that while they had done
very well, they were still the
minority without the power to en-
force their views. Republicans, he
insisted, should not always be try
ing to lead and to form al
liances. Democratic difficulties
he suggested wryly, would furnish
them with plenty of opportuni-
ties.
This counsel is acceptable COM
ing from the Senator from Colo
RADIO whose judgment and acumen
are greatly admired. 1t will es-
endear him to some of
the junior Senators who suffer
without recourse from the inn
of Senator Taft and
Majority Leader Wherry.

u. 5. Stand in Crisis
Reflects Firmness
Without Bluster
Policy Decisions Slated
ln Next Three Days Nov
Affect Destiny of World
By David Laurence

Firmness without bluster, a
willingness to discuss and nego-
tiate q peaceful settlement but a
readiness to accept the conse-
quences even though they mean
war-this about sums up the
overall thinking of the Govern
ment. 1t will be reflected in policy
decisions here and before the
United Nations in the next three
days, which. it is conceded on all
sides. may present America with
grave decisions that can affect
the destiny of the free world for a
long time to come.
The sad fact which is basic is
that America is unprepared to
fight q war in both Asia and Eu-
rope. Hence a withdrawal from
Asia could be forced as a mill
tary necessity If large-scale war
breaks out in Europe.
If, on the other hand. Russia
does not want to precipitate
large-scale war and is ready for
a settlement in the Far East, a
patched-up peace is in prospect.
Appeasement may win again as it
did in Munich in 1938-but pri-
marily to gain time. to get Amer
lea prepared in a military way for
the eventual conflict which. in
the event of an American With:
drawal from Asia. would then be-
come inevitable.
Tragic Weakness Of Allies.
The next and most important
fact of a basic nature in the
dilemma Is the little-realized but
tragic weakness of our allies.
They do not have the military
power organized to fight in Eu-
rope or in Asia.
Britain is involved militarily in
Malaga. France is begged down
in Indo- China. Germany is not
armed. Italy is weak. The Red
Armies could march across Eu-
rope and sweep triumphantly INTO
the strategic capitals of the con-
tinent.
All this means simply that the
billions which have been spent
by America for a system of de-
fense in the free world now are
dependent solely for their effec-
tiveneSs on the use of the atom
bomb. Russia. it is assumed, has
some bombs but not as many as
the United States possesses.
If America will not use the
atom bomb, Russia will have
free hand.
Demands are arising that the
United States use the atom bomb
in the Far East to defend Ameri-
can troops against further attacks
by the Chinese Communists. The
same Congress which permitted

must find their solution within the
councils OF the United Nations and

Whereas in its first bold chal-

mist aggression last June the U. N.
was dealing with a minor stooge
and satellite of Soviet Russia, now
1t is dealing with a major stooge
IN Communist China which, unless
checked, threatens a general war
in Asia.
Crucial Test of Diplomacy.
AS in June, so in the beginning
OF December, reliance for avert
ing such catastrophe and
tragedy still must lie in the U. N.
and in that endeavor it must have
more than ever, the backing of
this country and our people and
that of the free nations of the
world. Our policy is predicated
upon that. Diplomacy is under it's
most crucial test.
The crisis calls for cool-head-
edness. Difficult as that is to
maintain in the pail and confu-
sion that this new aggression has
spread over this city and our Ma

U. S. Strategy Unfolds.
Our own strategy is unfolding
rapidly. On our part, through
Warren Austin, our Security Coun-
Gil representative. we are telling
the world. in the presence of
Communist China's emissaries,
that this Chinese Communist in
vasion is open aggression. Though
our Government. itself. is not fix-
ing the blame officially on Russia,
we are making 1t clear that we
know Russia is the instigator. rs
Secretary Of State Acheson told
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
Our next step is to ask the U. N.
Security Council to adopt the
resolution previously submitted by
us demanding from the U. N.
that all outside forces-meaning
Chinese Communists - withdraw
from Korea, which would be in the
nature of an ultimatum from the
U. N. If Russia obstructs and de-
lays, In short conducts filibuster
or vetoes it. then the resolution
will be thrown in due time before
the U. N. Assembly, now equipped
to act.
Russia's strategy in promoting
Chinese Communist aggression is
puzzling. but an Interpretation
held here is that she is trying to
divide the Western powers through
this mass eruption. Some see it
as a trap to suck our forces into
the Korean operation in a major
war with China. diverting re-
sources, in an effort to frighten
our European allies who are de-
pendent on us in case of Russian
move there.
For all Of this. the U. N. still is
the hope for peace.
