What could eventually happen
and this was not to be inferred
from anything Mr.. Acheson said
lis that the two opposing mill
tary commanders would strive to
arrange cease fire" somewhat
as Gen. Macarthur tried to do
on March "a last. The terms ex-
changed between them would be
referred then to their respective
authorities back home. In all
probability the nations having
troops in Korea would consti-
tute the only group which would
enter the peace conference.
This would not necessarily re-
quire a discussion in the U. N.
General Assembly itself until
those particular nations had
reached an agreement with the
enemy. The subj to be pro-
posed for the settlement, perhaps
after the armistice, would, of
course, have to be agreed upon
before there was a cease fire."
When, however, the subsequent
negotiations did start. the Amer
ican representative could insist
that the question of "recogni-
ton" was related directly to
whether the Peiping government
was or was not under foreign
control. This question could
bring about a deadlock. because
any one country party to the
armistice could block a final
settlement. At that time the
Rusk viewpoint could be con-
structively helpful in the event
that the Peiping government had
begun to stray from the Com
munist fold as did Tito.

Truman |tches to Justify Course
More Than Eager to Take to Stump During Summer,
But Mrs. Truman Is in the NO Corner

It's a free country and every
body is entitled to his opinion
on whether or not President
Truman intended to say at his
press conference that he would
Or would not-run again.
There will undoubtedly be other
trial heats before he does-or
does not-line up at the starting
post.
The strongest evidence for the
aye voters is the Presidents
plain itch to justify his course.
He is eager to take to the. road
and he has a tentative under
standing with Secretary of the
Interior Chapman that he will
be on hand late next summer to
help dedicate the Central Valley
power project. .-- -....,.
But Mrs. Truman is in the NO
corner. Mr.. Truman confirmed
what many have long known
that his wife prefers her front
porch in Independence to any
party that Washington can give.
1t is>a fact, too. that Margaret
Truman is now solidly estab-
lished in her career and no
longer needs the White House
background from which she has
so successfully launched herself.
It is not surprising that the
President is in a good humor.

the day Gen. Macarthur talked

Senator Hickenlooper's at
tempt to leapfrog over the Joint
Chiefs of Staff to Secretary of
State Acheson. after Gen. Brad
ley finished testifying, was a
clue to this situation. At the
least calculation, Gen. Bradley
gave the Macarthur opponents
plenty of atomic ammunition
and the three chiefs of the serv-
ices are expected TO rub it. in.
Mr.. Acheson plainly is a much
better issue for the G.. o. p.
The Democratic majority
with some Republican support
intends to follow through,
however. They can cite an ex-
cellent reason: fear Of being
accused of whitewashing the
inquiry.
What is still not established
is when and where Gen. Mac
Arthur is going to be questioned
again either officially by Con-
gress or unof1icially by the re-
porters who are saturated with
the inquiry's revelations. The
contradictions are pilling up
and there Is also evidence of

eral did not refer in his own

Acheson and Rusk Think Alike
Viewpoints on American Policy Toward Chinese Reds
Sim!or Despite Efforts to Twist STATEMENTS

There really isn't any diff
ference Of viewpoint between
Secretary Of State Acheson and
Dean Rusk, Assistant Secretary.
Of State for Far Eastern Affairs,
on the matter of American
policy toward China, though
an effort is being made to make
it appear so.
What Mr.. RuSk said was that
the Chinese Communist gov
ernment was not representative
of the Chinese people because
1t was under Russian control.
He also said that in this sense
the Nationalist government more
"authentically" represented the
Chinese people because they
had always historically resented
any attempt to dismember their
territory as Russia was trying to
do.
But certain elements here,
who seem to be eager to accord
recognition to Red China ir-
respective of her aggression in
Korea, were not satisfied to ac-
cept the further definition of
American policy made by Mr..
Rusk. Efforts have been made
to try to bludgeon Secretary
Acheson into repudiating it on
the ground that some of our
allies want it so. He refused to
do so.
Most unfortunate was the
twisting in some press dispatches
Of what Secretary Acheson did
say in his news conference. He
was asked If the negotiation Of
a "cease fire" wouldn't have to
be with the Red Chinese. His
answer was that, of course, it
would have to be with the people
We are fighting and that every
body. including Gen. Macarthur,
agreed with this.
But this did not mean that,
by negotiating cease fire"
with the Red Chinese, we were
extending diplomatic recognition
to them. For 1t could be that a
cease fire" would develop be-

he would step into the picture
again.
While the guns are speaking
there is little the diplomats can
do. The history of the last
war is full of examples of how
sound political ideas were re-
jected for the sake Of military
strategy. Nobody knows this
better than Gen. Marshall.
It was he who in 1912 strongly
opposed Winston Churchill's de-
mands to attack Germany
through the Balkan soft under
belly. Such a military action
had strong political flavor and
was rejected by Gen. Marshall.
His views prevailed.
It was also Gen. Marshall
who, at Yalta. prevailed on
President Roosevelt to make
extensive. political concessions
to Russia in regard to Manchu-
ria, Sakhalin and the Kurile
Islands. These concessions now
have proved 100 per cent un-
sound. But Gen. Marshall was
concerned over the military
problems we might have to face
in the invasion OF Japan and
strongly urged Mr.. Roosevelt to
restore Russia'S empire in Asia.
There are many more in
stances throughout World War
II in which diplomatic and po-
litical considerations were sub
ordinated to the needs OF the
military. For instance, the CIV
ilians In Washington were in
an uproar when Gen. EisenhoW-
er decided, for strictly military
reasons, to accept the co-opera-
ton Of Admiral Darlan in North
Africa.
Secretary Of Treasury Nor
genthau and a number of other
cabinet officers went directly to
President Roosevelt and COM

of the principles for which we
were fighting the war. They

an eventual change in the Far
Eastern situation has been the
belief that the Red Chinese
cannot continue indefinitely to
commit their armies to Korea
and carry on a war just for
Russia's benefit. If there should
be a chance for a Tito move
ment away from Moscow Com
munism, the speech Of Mr.. Rusk
and also that OF John Foster
Dulles delivered on the same
occasion may well prove to have
been an influence In bringing
about that course Of events.
At any rate. the Red Chinese
now know through the Rusk
speech that a government In
China which deviates from Mos
cow and becomes independent
has q better chance of recog-
milton than would a govern
ment which has been subservient
to Moscow's influence. It would
appear very unlikely, if a cease
fire" occurred, that the Peiping
authorities would resume the
war just to get q seat in the
U. N. or to win recognition.
Conversely, it isn't likely that
the U. N. will be in any hurry
to change the armistice into a
peace agreement unless it is
apparent that no repetition of
the aggression is likely. Hence.
q long. stalernate in the nego-
tiations could occur while the
U. N. waited for a new govern
n1ent to rise in China whose
assurances could be trusted.
But in such a contingency there
will have been an end to- the
fighting, anyway, and the prob
lem will have been turned over
to diplomacy to try to work out.
AS between a stalemate dur
ing o continuous. war in Korea
and o salemate in a continuous
diplomatic argument on peace
terms. the latter would probably
win more. public support no
matter how long the stalemate
lasted.

Capital than he has enjoyed in
it for some months. Granted
that they must stand well with
him for selfish reasons while he
remains in power, apparently
none have confided misgivings
even during those convivial early
morning hours that mark such
occasions.
From his point Of view Of
course, there is every reason for
him to conceal his real inten-
tions for some time to come. A
President who let's 1t become
known well in advance that
he'll soon bow out, can expect
little fidelity. In politics the

Constantine Brown:

In the Korean, see-saw war
American and Allied forces are
once more attacking. after hav-
ing broken q two-week all-out
offensive by the Reds.
The 9th Army Is pushing
ahead with, determination. It's
objective is to kill enough Chi
nese to induce them to accept
United Nations peace proposals.
Gen. Marshall and Bradley,
who testified at length In the
current Senate investigation, adj
mitted that killing Chinese is
the only strategy we can fol-
low under the circumstances in
which this war is being fought.
Because we are principally
enforcement agents Of the
United Nations in the Asiatic
war, our able military planners
have their hands tied by inter
national political considerations.
Both Gen. Marshall and Gen.
Bradley have stated that If the
Macarthur strategy had been
adopted we might conceivabiy
risk an all-out war with the
u. s. s. R., which has a military
treaty with China. They over
looked the fact that Moscow
also has q military treaty with
North Korea and failed to inter-
vene directly when the puppets
armies were crushed last sum-
mer.
Both five-star generals, after
explaining the reasons for eau
ton In taking a calculated risk,
which had been discussed ut the
Blair House meeting June rs
and ~, went on to emphasize
that Gen. MacArthur's lack Of
sympathy with the political OBJ
jectives of the United Nations
and with the civilian authorities
made his removal inevitable. He
was in fact, challenging the
Constitution, which puts the
military under civilian author
ity.
Nobody in his right mind
would think Of questioning that
sound provision Of the Consti-
tuition which has kept our re-
public healthy and strong.
As long as the guns have not
started to speak the civilians
must be supreme. Generals and
admirals are only technical ad-
visers to the President and the
civilian heads Of the various
branches Of the armed services.
But as soon as q war starts
the conduct Of operations and
the overall strategy must be de-
cided by the professional SOL
diers. whose job In peacetime is
to plan for an early defeat Of
the enemy.
Under these circumstances
diplomacy and politics must take
a secondary place. After the
japanese attacked at Pearl Har-
Dor, Gen. Marshall, Army Chief
Of Staff. and Admiral Stark,
Chief of Naval Operations, met
Secretary of State Hull and
asked his opinions on certain
matters. He told them that
henceforth the war was their
baby" and it was UP to them
to defeat the enemy. When
that was accomplished. he said,

Thomas L. Stokes:

1t is stimulating in the con-
fusion of international tensions
and domestic controversy over
foreign policy that the Presi-
dent of the United States should
raise his sights and those of
the rest of us to the prospects
and rewards Of peace.
President Truman did that
by holding the door open wide
to negotiations for peace, by
pledging our cooperation in
disarmament, and by Offering
If peace can be made sure
to contribute part Of the re-
sources we now apply to arma-
ments ito a large scale program
of worldwide economic devel-
opment."
This bold encouragement was
voiced in his message to Con-
gress submitting the $8.5 billion
foreign military aid
program which was notice again
to Russia that. If she won't
have peace, then we will be
ready to resist.
But the olive branch shared
attention with the shield Of
defense, and 1t is good once
again to have the positive en-
phasized and by the leader of
the Nation, the United States,
which is in the best position
among the free nations Of the
world to take the initiative.
It served to clear the air some
what.
In our tradition the President
becomes the voice Of our people
and In the conclusion of his mes
sage to Congress Mr.. Truman
truly was that. He reflected
the many voices raised silently
and prayerfully for a peaceful
adjustment Of international ffic-
tion and he reflected. as well, the
growing sentiment for making
the United Nations really "a
world community in which each
nation, respecting world law.
can play its distinctive and
honorable role"
Likewise he reflected some Of
the constructive and positive

pie designed TO get at the roots

Here is the item: An engi-

In an experiment he stole the

Now Mr.. Truman is stressing
1t again, and his words should
be accentuated, Tor they went
to all parts of the world, even
behind the Iron Curtain where
people are susceptible to them
despite their domination by to-
talitarian relationships:
I'VE cannot win peace through
appeasement. We cannot gain
security in isolation. We will
not surrender.
LET it never be forgotten,
however, that we are ready, as
we always have been. to follow
