On the Record
Soviet Strategy in North Korea Permits
Russia to Retire Without Loss of Face

ing q collective aggression, using
its most efficient and available
forces-with a due eye to caution,
we hope.
There Is q civil war in Korea,
but only as part of an interna-
tional civil war started in 1914 by

Strategy Planned.
The Soviets have had the ad-
vantage Of previously planned
strategy. Before World War II
was over. they had selected their
next enemies. The tactic Of
making World War III appear to
be a series Of isolated and spon-
taneous civil uprisings was then
planned and implemented. While
the Western Allies were disarming
themselves and their late enemies,
the SovietS were rearming and re-
organizing every military factor
within their orbit, including recent
enemies, into a single force to
strike as separated or combined
units according to risk and cir
cumstance.
These aggressive units cannot
be effectively quelled without the
employment Of the effective forces
|of the resistance. which have no
Asiatic armies at their disposal,
the Chinese Nationalists having
been abandoned and Japan to-
tally disarmed.
The effective forces Of the re-
sistance are American and Eu-
|ropean. These, too, in response to
challenge, are organizing a COM
bined defense. emerging as a
United Nations international po-
lice against aggressors.
It is urgently important to
make this clear to the world and
ourselves.

would call for enactment of civil
rights legislation. Authors of this
new declaration of principles are
said to include such effective
party leaders as Governor Duff
of Pennsylvania, a new star in the

Ives of New York, whom nobody
discounts.

| Civil Rights in Mind.
In a radio interview. the Sena-
tor said:
IF the Republican Party were
to go back to the philosophy o1
defending the rights Of the
States and protecting business
and nominate men on a nationa
ticket in whom the South had
confidence. I think the people ,o1

guns, tanks and planes meets our
peacetime needs. But it is not
sufficient to satisfy the recently
increased demand from our Euro
pean allies.
Gen. Macarthur has sufficient
ammunition and some replace
ments for the guns, tanks and
planes which are being knocked
out in Korea. AS the fighting be-
comes more violent and more
American troops are sent to meet
the situation, a larger quantity OF
equipment will be needed.
Ban on Jap Production.
Japanese factories are forbidden
to produce war materials. AS soon
as supplies in Japan begin to
dwindle everything will have to
be sent from the West Coast over
1000 miles Of ocean.
The administration cannot deny
any requests from Tokyo, lest our
troops suffer ignominious defeat.
There can be no repetition of the
Philippine tragedy in 1912.
At the same time, nobody at
the Pentagon suggests. even by
implication, that we slow down
shipments to Western Europe. On
the contrary.
The French already are COM
planning that the Western bloc

has not received much of the
equipment which is due those ma
tions out of last years appropri-
alton. And, of course, nothing
has been sent across the Atlantic
from the latest appropriation Of
$1.2 billion under the Military Aid
Program. The French fear that
it may be a case of ''too little and
too late" again.
Through their many spies In
Europe the Russians know exactly
what is being sent over from the
United States: and our well-inten-
toned propaganda, to the effect
that masses of American equip
ment now are reaching continen-
tai European ports, may impress
the uninitiated but not the Soviet
general staff.
Question of Priority.
There is no intention on the
part of the administration to de-
lay in the slightest shipments OF
arms which we promised our allies.
But faced with actual war in
Korea, the spread of which no one
can gauge, we deal with ques-
ton of priority ALLEGATION from
the trickle Of war equipment
which comes off American as
sembly lines.
Since last week the Pacific
theater has been given top prior
Iity. Meanwhile. the threatening
situation in Indo-C China requires
that we rush more equipment to
that French domain. Philippine
forces soon may be faced with a
real military problem in the Hulk
rebels. President Truman an
nounced June 81 that military
assistance will be sent to the
Philippines.
These global commitments must
come from available stockpiles in
this country and in the Pacific,
which were considered satisfactory
while we were faced only with a
cold war, but they are no longer
sufficient when our men are en-
gagged in q shooting war in Korea

CompIieating Factor.
The presidential ambitions OF
three key Senators-Taft. Lodge
and Wherry-are complicating
factor. Their colleagues, perhaps
unjustly. will not follow personal
ly ambitious men In such delicate
enterprises. Then there Is the
basic, deep division on foreign
policy within the party.
Seeking answers to the prob
lem, the President recently sum-
moned Senator Bridges of New
Hampshire to the White House.
Senator Bridges is q conservative
and somewhat given to sniping at
the administration on all fronts
behind the closed doors Of the Ap-
propriations Committee, on which
he is ranking Republican. But
when the chips are down he has
voted internationalist, even dur
ing the hard thirties.
The Senator and former Sena-
tor did not need to discuss per-
sonalities; both know the score.
They did talk frankly about the
problem.
Senator Bridges told Mr.. Tru-

Part Of Aggressive Strategy.
The composition of the man
power Of the Soviet forces is
,asically irrelevant. The North
Korean forces did not open a
civil war on their own initiative,
but as part of a Russian-led in
ternational Communist aggressive
strategy. If the Russian leader
ship intends a third World War,
North Korean forces will be
joined by Far Eastern Soviet and
Chinese armies. IF not, North Ko-
rean troops will have made a test
Of international resistance, and If
defeated will be considered ex-
pendable. This is one bright spot.
The Soviet strategy permits Rus
sia to retreat without loss Of face.
And the resistance offered these
units of an international force

On the Other Hand
Could Be That Senator Russell
Is Just Kidding Republican Friends

tor had his tongue in his cheek
when he said this. He is aware
that the Republican Party is a
perfectly good States Rights Party,
so far as the protection of bust
ness is concerned. In that re-
spect, some Of the party leaders
are disposed to go even further
than Senator Russell himself
What the Senator really has in
mind, Of course, is civil rights. He
would have the COP abandon
Abraham Lincoln as its patron
saint and take up somebody like
Jefferson Davis. Which he knows
right well the COP won't do.
But the Senator has raised an
interesting question: In whom,
among the Republicans, would the
South have confidence? II the
issue is solely civil rights, their
man would be Wherry of Me-
braska, Senate minority leader.
1t was he who devised the new
and almost perfect method of
strangling civil rights legislation
with which the Senate is now
cursed or, from Senator Russell's
point of view, blessed. II Wherry's
name would not set the South on
fire, there are Hickenlooper, Nc
Carthy, Taft, Bricker and others
of the same group to consider.
May Be Up to Something.
The shrewd Georgian may be
up to something. He may be seek
ing to warn his Republican friends
in the Senate against listening to
men Of the Duff and Ives stripe
and to remind them of the excel
lent working arrangement they
now have with the Southern bloc.
Either that or he is just kidding.
The latter hypothesis is supported
by another thing he said:
"I think we have suffered and
been neglected and lost our pro-
portionate strength in the Gov
ernment because of our devotion
to the one-party system"
The proportionate strength of
the South In the Senate is the
Craftsmanship Of 8 of the Is
committees that manage the Sen
ate's business. In the House it is
IL out of the 10 chairmanships.
And. partly due to this situation,
in the matter of Federal ap-
preparations it is hard to see
where the South has suffered and
been neglected.

have lived there have been buried
in the mountainside. The 20 who
