BY Berlin Red Farley
Az The Associaisd Press

BERLIN, Feb. 26.-The World
Peace Council-which the West
regards as a propaganda mouth
piece for the Kremlin-called yes
terday on the five big powers, in
Icluding Red China, to sign a pact
to preserve peace.
The Communist-sponsored coun-
,cil, which has been meeting in
Berlin's Soviet sector, urged the
United States. Britain, France,
Communist China and Russia to
conclude a pact. It declared that
rejection Of the plan would be seen
as proof Of the aggressive l,lans
of the government concerned, who
would then also bear the responsi-
bility."
The council also went on record
that the United Nations has
worked "disappointingly" and de-
clared the ,functioning of the U. N.
had eliminated in branding Red
China an aggressor in Korea.
Pietro Nenni, head of the pro-
Communist Italian Socialist Party,
told the council that thesU. N. in
its presetn form has become a
branch of the White House"
Some $50 delegates from 81
countries are attending the con-
ference, which has been in session
since last Wednesday.

Strike Puts Pariisians
On Feet and Bicycles
BY the Assoeiaied Press

PARIS, Feb, 26. Parisians
took to their bicycles. motorbikes
and feet by the thousands today
as bus drivers and many subway
operators began a 24-hour strike
for more pay.
All buses we're halted, but by
mid-morning single trains were
running on two crosstown subway
lines. Seventeen other trains were
running on shorter branches.
At least one independent SUBJ
way drivers union refused to GO
along with the strike ordered by
both Communist and non-Com-
munist unions.
1t was hoped that up to so per
cent of the trains would run later
in the Gay.
To help ease the situation the
government modified scores of
army trucks driven by soldiers to
run on the bus lines.
Fair weather helped. And with
Monday weekly holiday for
most Pairs department stores and
shops, the effect Of the strike was
leSsened.

Wage increases provided in

they were written into contracts

That formula would permit an

January Is, 1850. 1t would re-

a review is scheduled.
After days of behind-scenes
meetings involving Mr.. Johnston,
Mobilization Director Charles E,

labor leaders, Mr.. Johnston was
reported to be 'fwell along to-

With only it's three public and

virtually impotent to command

Mr. Johnston repeatedly intends

then take up the problem of board
reorganization. One proposal is
that the present board be scrapped
and replaced with a 19-member
panel-Six representatives each
for labor, industry and the public,
and an impartial chairman.
About million workers have re-
ceived pay increases of 10 per cent
or more since January Is. 1850.
Another IL million unionists have
received smaller increases or none

would be eligible for boosts.

The Macarthur Story

In one of her recent columns,
Dorothy Thompson wrote, "In
the controversy over General of
the Army Macarthur, our sympa-
thies are entirely with the Gener-
al. Never before has an American
commander had to direct such a
project as our troops became in
- volved in via the United Nations.
General Macarthur is COM
manding men who are fighting,
suffering wounds and dying at
the hands of the enemies. They
are not sitting comfortably in
Lake Success, Washington, Lon
don, or Delhi; they were sent, not
by General AacArthur but by
President Truman and the UN
and they have a right to know
what objective they are there to
achieve, or whether they are in
for a war ad perpetuum in
which neither side can ever win,
though they keep on killing and
being killed"
Sometime ago General Mac
Arthur said flatly that, under the
policies imposed upon his COM
mand, it is impossible to conclude
the Korean war that all we
can do is hold our own and in
flict maximum possible losses on
the enemy while we husband our
own strength as best we can. A
primary strategic goal in any war
is to destroy the enemy'S sour
ces of supply. In the Korean war
- which is no longer being wag-
ed against the North Koreans but
the Red Chinese - the
supply bases lie across the border
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1951-04-21

in China. Yet Macarthur cannot
even send a plane across that
border. So the Chinese armies can
be organized and trained and
equipped without fear of attack,
and then moved into Korea.
The naval situation in that part
of the world is equally unprece-
denied. A great fleet, the 7th, is
on constant patrol in the waters
between Formosa and the Chin
csc mainland. And the task Of
this fleet is not to fight Red
China, but just the contrary. The
commanding admiral's orders are
to prevent Chinese Nationalist
troops on Formosa from raiding
the mainland. So, because of the
presence of American seapower
off China, that possible threat to
the security of Communist China
has been averted!
The State Department was,
manifeStly, seriously disturbed
when Macarthur publicly stated
that he was willing to meet the
enemy commander in chief in the
field and to discuss terms for
ending the bloodshed. The Gen
eral was called down, though the
words used were polite and evas-
i've, as is always the case with
man of his reputation and posi-
ton. OF this, Miss Thompson said,
There is nothing unprecedented
in a commander offering to meet
his opposite in the field to dis
cuSS a truce =. What is unpre-
cedented is for the political au-
thorities who have put a COM
mander in the field against an

enemy to leave him without any
directiveS that can be translated
into rational military terms" The
General is damned if he does and
damned if he doesn't.
Another trouble is that most of
our allies in the Korean war are
far from enthusiastic. The bulk
of the UN countries followed our
lead because they could do moth
ing else, Britain is the prime ex-
ample. Britain doesn't want to
ALLEVIATE Red China She is offer
ing Red China various forms of
appeaSement - while British SOL
diers are fighting bravelv and

Chinese! The idea, of course, is
that war must be avoided at al
most all costs. But to the soldiers
in Korea very real and ex-
tremely bloody war is in process
right now as it is to the COM

That is how matters stand. And
it explains why so many people
regard our present diplomatic and
military policy as being utterly
bankrupt.

THE SPECTATOR
MIXED EMOTIONS REIGN IN
NATIONS CAPITAL
BY ELLIOTT J. PIEZE

MA ION - OATIIAG
AS this is being written (Thurs-
day. the nations capital, Wash
ington, D. c. is plagued with two
Numerically opposite emotions
two opposite emotions that not
only make history, but will be
long remembered in the minds of
many of the people of this great
country.
The historic arrival of General
Macarthur and his party at the
Washington National Airport at
1921 am. Thursday, touched off
one of the greatest ovations ever
witnessed in the nations capital.
Thousands upon thousands of
spectators and well wishers were
on hand to greet the distinguish
ed General as he stepped from
his favorite transport plane, the
Bataan. Pandemonium reigned in
the capital from the minute that
General MacArthur'S plane land
ed until he left for New York,
where an even greater ovation
awaited him. His history-making
address to the national Congress
and to the people of the nation,
on Thursday afternoon, was one
that will long be remembered by
everyone who heard it. You are
no doubt well familiar with what
the General said, therefore it is
not necessary for me to say more
about it. But l must say that his
address was heard all over the
nation and in most parts of the
world.
While all of the pandemonium
was reigning in Washington, DC.
over the arrival of Macarthur.
equal thoughts Of sorrow and
sadness over the death of anoth-
err great statesman, were felt
throughout the capital and the
entire nation. Shortly before
MacArthur's plane landed in
Washington, Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg, prominent Republic
can policy leader, and champion
of international cooperation for
world peace, died at his home in
Grand Rapids, Michigan, We'd
nesday night He was 81 years of
age. Senator Vandenberg will be
greatly missed and long remem-
bered by everyone who either
knew him personally or knew of
his many fine deeds. The famed
Michigan senior Senator had been
ailing for more than two years.,
and for while was not able to
attend to his official duties in the
nations capital.
Inc arrival in Washington of
General Macarthur touched off a
great ovation. The news of the
death of Senator Vandenburg
touched off an air of sorrow and
sadness. The two emotions mix
ed as they are and coming at
about the same time now have
the nations capital in one of the
most unusual mental strains it
has witnessed in many years. It's
praises and tributes to the living
and praises and tributes to the
dead. Both men well deserved
them. The people of the nations
capital and of the nation as a
whole, now find themselves the
victims of mixed emotions. They
render fitting tributes to a great
General who has returned home
- and to a great statesman who
has passed into the great beyond.
Such is the life of a democratic
people.
