This Changing World
Washington Still Buzzing With Rumors
About Truman -MacArthur Conference

general are likely to have been
strongly presented to MIR. Truman.
The Presidents reaction will be
known after he returns to Wash
ington. It is equally certain that
the widely publicized views of Gen.
Macarthur on the Importance OF
preventing Formosa from falling
into hostile" hands-that is to
say, the Communists'-have been
reiterated in person to the Chief
Executive.
Gen. Macarthur, in his frequent
reports to Washington. has never
suggested that we take over For
mosa ourselves. He has presented
various solutions. all of which
must, in his opinion, be Endorsed
by the million persons who in
habit that island. Formosa should
either be made into a self-govern-
ing, autonomous republic within
Japanese jurisdiction, or should
become a ward of the United Ma
tions for number of years, until
the threat from Communist China
disappears. The present inter-
national tension cannot last very
much longer.
Never Minces Words.
Until this tragic situation is
cleared up, and the situation on
the Chinese mainland also Is
solved. the security of the free
world demands that Formosa not
become a Chinese Communist
province. In the hands of the
Reds it would give the U. S. S. r.
a powerful naval and air base
and would threaten not only the
security of the Philippines. but
also that OF the entire Pacific de-
fense system. AS in the case OF
the proposed peace treaty for
Japan, the reactions of Mr.. Tru-
man on this score will not be
known to the general public for
some time.
Ali the same, it can be taken
for granted that in the so min
utes Gen. Macarthur was given
for a personal heart-to-heart talk
with his commander in chief he
expressed himself forcefully and
clearly, as in his custom. He
never minces words when it comes
to major matters.
1t is equally probable that MI.
Truman. whose opinion of Gen.
MacArthur's outstanding military
ability has risen since the Inchon
invasion. listened carefully to his
subordinate's words. They have
given him food for thought, a
totally different fare from what
he has been accustomed to in
Washington, where so many of
his advisers are prone to put
theology ahead of the Nations
security.
Whether Mr.. Truman has been
as deeply impressed with the
clarity of Gen. MacArthur's think
ing on political matters which
bear on military strategy as he
is with his military prowess will
be seen in the weeks to come.

m a MS advisers Constantine Brown.
who accompanied him know more
than a general outline. at most
of the views exchanged between
the President and the flve-star
general who commands American
and other U. N. forces in the
Pacific.
Some conjectures are worth re-
porting, however, since they are
based on previously known facts,
One is that Mr.. Truman and Gen.
Macarthur canvassed the problem
of the defense of Southeast Asia,
where we are being called on to
play a paramount role.
Gen. Macarthur has expressed
himself clearly in the past on the
need for an early peace treaty
with Japan, which in his judg-
ment has proved itself worthy of
self-government. After five years
of American occupation and con-
troll the Japanese have been in
doctrinated in democratic govern
|ment as thoroughly as any Asiatic
people could ever be. Gen. Mac
Arthur has repeatedly reported
that the japanese people have
fully expiated their past wrong
doings and the chances are ex-
tremely remote that they will ever
again follow their warlordS.
Favors Equitable" Treaty.
The Allied Supreme Commander
favors an equitable" peace treaty,
at least as easy as the one signed
with the Italian government. He
believes that in the present dan
gerous and confused international
situation Japan should be allowed.
in self defense, to organize a mill
tary force capable Of handling
any threat from the Communists
at home or across the sea.
Such an equitable treaty is con-
sidered must" by Gen. Mac
Arthur. not only for the sake OF
international fairness, but also to
permit the United States to with
draw the bulk of her troops at an
early moment. They will be needed
badly soon in other parts of the
world.

When Gen. Macarthur sent a
statement to the Veterans of For
eign Wars, stressing American Sc
curity interests in Formosa. he
was Immediately repudiated by
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES denial
that American security interests
influence our actions.
Normally, declaration of dis
interestedness, in specific places,
or in general, is tantamount to
isolationism. But for the first
time in American history we are
fighting war of intervention
while specifically disavowing that
American interests are involved.
We are thus simultaneously de-
claring for political isolationism
plus military engagement.
Washington realizes that there
are poor public relations between
the Government and the people,
and admits that it has not done
a good job of educating the peo-
pie, regarding the facts of our
world relations and commitments.
But that. it is confidently hoped,
can be overcome by vigorous
information campaign.

whether this people Cor any other)

the Government persists in vitiat-

of national honor and the love of

Perhaps the Government may
be able to avoid explaining why it
left South Korea defenseless, and
went publicly on the record that
it would not defend it, and then
sent tens of thousands of Ameri-
cans to do the contrary; why it
risked war with China over Korea,
but will not risk it over Formosa,

against him in their own States
and districts.
This is because little Vito, If he
is not a Communist. probably is
the nearest thing to a Communist
now in Congress. He is always
being called a Communist, and
he never sues anybody for it.
Maybe that's because he's too
busy roughing things up in the
congressional ring. While only
a featherweight. politically and
otherwise. his ring generalship
and fast footwork have earned
him the respect Of the congress
sional gladiators - their respect

that they may be recorded as vot-

has got to the point where some

adjourn for fear they may be

There waxed, briefly, fad for vegetable
corsages For weeks Pierre used raspberries,
cherries, cabbage, white onions and even tiny
squash. Imitators sprang up, but by compari-
son, their wares looked like spoiled fruit sal
ads on lettuce wilted in bacon fat. Only
Pierres creations got into magazines, and
those little italicized words, "Corsage by
Pierre" did wonders for Pierre's, Inc.
According to Matteoliti, the mait1e, he
bought an estate on the Hudson, installed two
servants to look after his bodily wants and
three farmhands to raise exotic blooms He
became fercely temperamental, overbearing,
and as unreasonable as any genius. But it is
not true that he forgot his few old friends.
By no means.
ON THE contrary, consider the day that
young Mr. Murphy dropped in and said
pierre, want corsage - for girl, of

slight blush indicated he was self-conscious.
In fact, Pierre, something extra special -

He considered M. Murphy rather pity

MT dream that most of the front-offce crew
was aware that he'd finally tumbled to that
Ruth Crosby, the assistant cashier. Twice, in
two days, he'd stopped to chat with her, max
ing the mistake of being extravagantly casual
about it, much too casual, even while it was
clear that he was walking on air.
He probably didn't dream that far more
than half the front Office crew knew that this
Miss Crosby had been in love with him for
months, and, cold fish that she was, in Pierre's
estimation, it was clearly visible in her dark
eyes whenever Mr. Murphy walked by her
desk without looking at her.
Pierre pitied M. Murphy also for his choice.
M. Murphy deserved something far, far bet
ter. He, Pierre, knew at least seven or eight
much hotter numbers than the trim girl in
the cashiers quarters. And, with friend,
he would gladly have shared them.
1t was not that this girl was unattractive.
Her big black eyes were all the more start
ling because her skin was like the petals of

Frau Karl Drushki rose. That was true, but
she was so incorigibly cold, so staggeringly
unappreciative. Why, Pierre himself had
made seven or eight passes at her. And the
little fool, far from being grateful, as she
should, for the attentions of great artist,
had rebuffed him scornfully, excepting once,
and that time she had slapped his face, his
own face, Pierres, and was angry, not scorn-
full.
Pierre regretted his friends mistake in
taking up with such an empty-headed crea-
ture, but he knew better than to try to lift
the veil from lovesick eyes.
The best can do, M. Murfee" he said,
will be yours. Time l need little Of Five
o'clock, that will do?"
Fine. By the way, insist on paying"
Pierre held up Mortified hand. He made
speech, only partly in English, but the point
was unmistakable - that he, Pierre, was not
the mercenary type. Mais, non! Non! He
would be shamed, embarrassed, his conscience
would writhe at the thought of taking penny
for the pleasure of doing for M. Murphy the
slightest, the most infnitesimal, of favors.
"Well, thanks said Mr. Murphy 81

good"
After he was gone Pierre gazed at the
closed door despairingly Good! Ha! Good

Yeah, boss?' said Henry, to whom
Pierres passion had long since lost the flavor
of newness. ''Whatcher want?"
PIERRE rested his elbow on the counter, rest

went into an aspect of concentration that
would have made Robins Thinker look like
vacant-minded moron.
After long, deep pause, Roses, he said.
