This Changing World
New Korean Red Push Toward Taegu
Viewed With Concern by u. S. Officials

in Korea. They have developed
a remarkable method of moving
troops day and night in spite OF
our complete air supremacy. They
have managed to keep up the
supply line providing arms and
ammunition for the front in the
face of the thousands of sorties
from the American planes.
Despite some reports to the con-
trary the Korean forces seem to
have ample reserveS-an advan-
tage we do not possess in any COM
parable degree. Following the So
Wet strategy, the Koreans are at
tacking regardless Of losses in
volved. Their casualties have been
extremely heavy. A conservative
estimate places them at least 25,-
900 killed, wounded and prisoners.
In Face of MurderOuS Fire.
Yet they continue to rush their
divisions in the face of murderous
fire of the American-South Ko-
rean defenders. While there Is no
positive information to show that
the Chinese Communists have
Joined in the offensive, it is safe
to speculate that some Chinese in
Korean uniforms are already being
used as requirements. Intelligence
reports have definitely confirmed
that at least 100000 Chinese Com
munists are either at the Korean
Manchurian borders or already in
North Korea. The mutual assist
ance pact signed last January in
Moscow between Russia, and its
two Asiatic satellites, China and
North Korea, provides for military
assistance in the case Of an ag-
greSSion from another power. And
Moscow has established for its
own convenience that we are the
aggressors.
Thus, while the Communist
forces can draw almost indefi-
nitely on the organized manpower
of China, we are confined to the
relatively few troops we have
managed to place in North Ko-
rea. We have denuded our occu-
patton forces in Japan by trans
ferring three divisions across the
Yellow Sea. To these were added
and infantry and a skeletonized
Marine division which are sup
ported by the remnants Of the
South Korean army. While the
casualties of the Allies are no.
where near as heavy as those Of
the Communists it is believed to
date we have out of the combat
lines a number of men equivalent
to a division in reduced strength
(between 10000 and 10000 SOL
diers). In this number must be
included, of course, those suffer-
ing from battle fatigue and other
illnesses. These men will be avail
able for combat again. But at this
crucial moment when we are
faced with the most extensive Of
fensive of the enemy, they are
not in the fighting line.

RusSia'S enemies. under the condi-
tions Russia picks.
Now, submit that If the United
States irrevocably commits herself
to fighting for all who won't or
can't fight for themselves, while
Russia pours into the fray only
her allies resources while reserv-
ing her own, there can be but one
outcome. The final phase Of the
conflict will find the West utterly
exhausted, its forces dispersed,
and unable to defend itself on it's
own ground.
War We Cannot Win.
Stalin's game is to involve this
country in war with China. 1t is
a war we cannot win, morally,
politically, or militarily.
We cannot win it morally be-
cause no Asiatic trusts the foreign
devil, no matter what banner he
carries.
We cannot win it politically,
because we have not one ally in
Asia-having already done our
best to extirpate all Western in
f1uences and sympathetic powers.
A. policy which commands the
British to get out of India and the
Dutch out of Indonesia, and then
decides to support the French in
Indo- China-who desperately need
their troops to defend France in
France; which refuses to support
Chang in China, and then de-
cides to support him in Formosa;
and which totally diSarms Japan
and then decides to defend it, is
not policy. 1t is a tale told by
an idiot. Nehru's recent bitter
words about both Russia and
America we're spoken by true
Asiatic.
We cannot win a war involving
China militarily. If there is any
general who can tell us how to
accomplish what Asiatic Japan
could not, or how to overcome by
any sort of super-duper weapon
the numerical superiority of half
q billion Asiatics, fighting on IA
miliar terrain, highly trained in
guerrilla tactics and utterly care
less Of death; or how to blockade
land mass with interior sources
of supply that reach from the
Yellow Sea to the Elbe in Europe,
let that genius arise and tell
us how.
We have already lost Asia,
chiefly by the great Nationalist
revolts that the last war let loose,
aided by our own past policies.
It is loss we can acknowledge
and sustain.
For Stain has not yet won
Asia. He wants us to win it for
him, by q war with China, which
will force China into servitude
to Russia.

the policeman Of the world, to en-
force, by the sacrifice of American
lives and fortune, the court orders
(as it were) of United Nations
countries who will not or cannot
themselves fight to enforce them,
and to put down aggression
wherever it may raise it's ugly
head, in whatever corner Of the
globe.
The claw against aggression, "
which Mr.. Truman, the generals,
and the majority Of Republicans
have committed us to police" is
now law. There is not even a
definition Of aggression in the
U. N. charter There is no i'm
partial Judgment to which it can
be referred. The judges include
the charged aggressors or their
partisans. There is no inter-
national police force to execute
judgment, nor is any nation re-
quired to commit it's own forces.
Arena for Power Politics.
The United Nations, divided
into two factions, sharing no
common notions of civilization,
law. or order, is, as an institu-
ton to enforce peace" pure
fiction. 1t is, in fact, an arena
for the great game of power pol
itics. Stain and company, who
know this, use it for what it is
and play the game supremely
well, while our vacant-minded
leaders appoint the American
people to be the Galahads of the
world, to liberate all victims of
aggression-whether they want
to be liberated or not. Since the
process, once the initial aggres-
sion has succeeded, involves the
wholesale destruction of the
countries and inhabitants to be
liberated, enthusiasm is notably
lacking. That is the lesson of
Korea.
The Russian game is to fight for
nobody except Russians. 1t is to

Lake Success are eying the irate
Democrats with apprehension.
They still believe that if the
Democrats will moderate their
anger, enough Republicans can
be found to save the day. What
they most fear is an extreme re-
action which will consolidate the
Republicans as the Tydings re-
port on the Mccarthy charges
did.
Could Get Away With 1t.
The Republican manifesto rep
resents a concession to those Re-
publicans who believe the Dewey
Vandenberg-Dulles policy OF
keeping foreign affairs out OF the
l948 election caused their defeat.
These diSsenters now control the
National Committee and lead the
Congressional minoritieS.
If they persist in the new
campaign. the Korean adventure
gives them an excellent chance
of getting away with it.
Korea appeals to the emotions
and the cold record on inter-
national cooperation, which fav-
ors the Democrats, does not.
Korea is going badly, so the be-
wildered and alarmed public is
looking for scapegoats. The DEM
ocrats are in power and must take
the rap.
If things are not going well in
Korea by early october, the Demo-
Gratis are certain to suffer reverses,
possibly serious ones. Billions OF
words will be said between now
and November about how it is their
fault. A few thousand words OF
good news from the front can
save the day for them.

periphery of the Pusan beach
head. This area can be held, ac-
cording to our top military men,
regardless of what effort the
Communists may make to dis
lodge the American forces.
The present front is far too
extended for the small American
army. In the face of an enemy
at least 100000 strong on the
front lines we can muster only
some 10000 defenders. The en-
emy has the initiative. He can
concentrate at whatever point he
chooses and make demonstrations
in force at other portions of the
front. We have succeeded so far
in having a. few tactical sue
cesseS such as that of the Ma
rines south of Chinju. But they
are only temporary. When a
major movement develops some
where else we have to rush forces
to meet the new threat. This was
best illustrated last week at Po-
hang. While our forces were en-
gagged in counter attacking the
Communists who had crossed Max
tong River the North Koreans
made a surprise attack against
thinly-held Pohang and we lost
the use of the best air base in
South Korea.
Reds Then Make New Stab.
Troops were rushed from the
center Of the line to meet that
surprise attack. The Communists
Immediately made new stabs in
the direction of Taegu, the Army's
main supply and communication
center, where they have now
concentrated no less than 10000
men.
The strategic and tactical abn-
ity of the Communist high COM
mand. directed by Soviet staff
officers, is no longer underesti-
mated. There Is no question that
they are a bunch Of extremely
competent men at least as well
versed in all the aspects of mod

Well come into a city strange
to both of us and can be sure
of having her ask how far the
airport is from town, how much
it would cost if we went in by
taxi instead of waiting for the
airline bus, the name of the first
big building we pass. and what
are the meanings of the foreign
language signs along the road.
Never Believed.
I used not to answer these
questions, but not long ago I
started answering with anything
that popped into my head. Now
I tell her that it's eight and a
half miles into town, that taxi
would cost three dollars and four
cents more than the bus, that the
large building is the winter resi-
dence of the Prime Minister or
the Heir Apparent depending on
what form of government the
country we are in has), and that
the signs say, Beware! Dangerous
Dog" mo Smoking on Curves, 4"
Don't Play Cards With Strangers, 4"
and "Out for Lunch"
The maddening thing about
the whole business is that the
minute I answer her she says,
you couldn't possibly know that.
You have never been here before,
and you don't know the Ian
guage."
Yet a few minutes later she is
off again with her questions.
She must have asked me ten
thousand questions since we start
ed on this trip. and many of them
still stick in my memory.
In Egypt she wanted to know
how old camels lived to be, what
one cost, whether they were hard
to raise. and why didn't the
Sphinx face the Pyramids instead
of having its back to them.
So help me. if she didn't ask
me in Damascus, when we were
visiting the part Of the city wall
where st. Paul was lowered in
basket, why he didn't escape by
sliding down a rope, which would
have been a lot easier. She also
wanted me to enlighten her on
why the Street Called Straight is
called that when it has bends in
it.
Just a Swimming Coach.
Do you know how long it took
Leander to swim the Hellespont?
Neither do I. But I was asked
that. just as If I had been his
swimming coach.
What would be your answer II
your wife asked you if the ten
per cent service charge that no
tells over here tack onto your bill
all went directly to the help. or
was some of it snitched by the
management?
Here's another Of Jeans ques-
tions I would like to have an an
swer for: When you order hors
d'oeuvres, and don't eat all the
sardines in the newly opened can,
what happens to them? Are the
sardines that are left eaten by
the help and a new can always
opened. or do they know how to
sneak sardines back into the can
and make it look brand new
again?
Frankly, wish she hadn't hap
pened to ask me this one. I'd like
to know myself.

Peter. Who Became a Man of
Power.
Lesson for September 3: Acts 4:
800.
Memory Selections: Acts 5;29.
SIMON was at the first like the
shifting waves of his own Sea of
Galilee. But he became as firm as
the hills that rise about Galilee's
shores.
In the courtyard of the high
priests palace, he thrice denied
his Lord, and even with an oath.
But Peter in the freight was fol-
lowed by Peter on the Seashore.
Under the three-fold questioning
of Jesus, he vowed a love that
was never belied by denial or
show wavering. From that hour
he was truly Peter, the Rock.
He became a great preacher. On
'the day of Pentecost, he preached
with such power that 5000 per-
sons were added to the infant
church. And the lesson text tells
how Peter and John, when the
council forbade them to speak in
the name of Jesus, said they
would hearken to the voice of
God rather than that of men, and
declared they would continue
to preach what they had seen
and heard.
Peter interests men because the
most of them are like Peter in
their human weakness and their
many falls. But let us strive to be
like him in his later days when
he proved true to the name Jesus
gave him. AS Peter became a
man of power, so can we grow
strong for our Lord. For, as we
believe in Jesus and love him, the
Lord can communicate enough of
his power unto us to make us big
and brave in our service for him.
