The Odds in Korea

The featured letter by Capt. Frederick
L. Oliver, U. S. N. on your editorial page
November Fl is direct compliment to
your staff. The precise analysis and
direct presentation of fact by a profess
sional naval officer clearly portrays the
air and consequently all phases of the
war in Korea.
The captain shunts propaganda and
accentuates the plight Of our airmen in
Korea. Our flyers are being called upon
to Outright vast odds now, as our in
fantrymen were in the beginning and
still are. What now? Will our fleet be
asked to fight against vast odds? Fortu-
nately not. There exists no combina-
ton of naval power that can equal the
United States Navy.
nevertheless. We must accept the fact
that our enemy operationally utilizes
planes mechanically the equivalent of
our first-line ships throughout Eur-Asia
We must therefore stress the impor-
tance OF our carrier-based air power.
This country can never overstress the
Importance of seaborne airfields within
the next decade.
In addition, it is passing strange that
six United States divisions backed by
comparable air power are placed on the
European continent to defend, stem,
stop. or what have you, some 200 or
more Russian divisions backed by air
power with 10-to-1 advantage. Our
allies are still questioning the advisable
ity of defense.
Unfortunately the Korean war re-
mains the same: Too little, too late
Casualties obviously mean nothing to
the executors of our fate. They and
our noble Allies prefer to settle 10 cents
on the life and try the European brand
of defense"

destruction of one of our unarmed aircraft over

In its own version of the incident, of course,
the Kremlin has depicted itself, with righteous

Missouri to western Virginia Later he
asked to be relieved of active duty.
Gen. Grant, who sought to hold mid
die ground in the running fight between
President Andrew Johnson and Congress,
nevertheless opposed the President on
a memorable occasion. The President
had dismissed Secretary of War Stanton
and installed Gen. Grant. Contrary to
the Presidents orders, the general turned
over the office to Stanton when the
Senate refused to concur in the dis
missal.
In more recent years Admiral Mahan,
then retired, was ordered by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels during World War I
to make no speeches against Admin
istration wartime policy. President Will
son as early as 1914 issued an order for
bidding military leaders from speaking
or writing contrary to the strict neu-
trality policy.
Perhaps the most outspoken military
critic Of presidential policies on defense
during the Wilson Administration was
Gen. Leonard Wood. His friends. includ-
ing Theodore Roosevelt. said that was
why Gen. Wood did not serve in France
during the war. Gen. Wood was a
prominent contender for the 1920 G. o. P.

Doris FIeeson:

The country is becoming
aware of the extent to which
Washington is stalled on dead
center with respect to domestic
legislation as the second Tru-
man administration approaches
its final year.
Less we'll known because the
Supreme court is outside the
range of the present most burn
ing controversies is the fact
that the court reflects the same
trend now that Truman ap-
pointees hold the balance of
power.
The Justices are moving into
the home stretch of a term
expected to yield a total of only
about 80 opinions more or less.
This product from nine men
compares to the 80 that only
three turned out annually with
fair regularity during the palmy
days Of the New Deal. The
three: The late Justice and
Chief Justice Harlan Fiske
Stone and Associate Justices
Black and Douglas.
The reason is not that the
court is behind in its work but
that it is increasingly exercis-
ing its prerogative of refusing
to entertain appeals. In the
old days it heard an average
of about $50 cases, handed
down in all perhaps 200
opinions. Now 1t appears to re-

to the court who have altered
it's complexion; his Chief Just
ice, Mr.. Vinson, who has exer-
cised the genial peacemaking
which keeps the Justices out of
the headlines but yields a crop
Of 80 opinions only.
Mr.. Truman appointed the
Chief Justice and three others:
his former Attorney General.
Tom Clark. and two former
Senate colleagues, Sherma IN
Minton and Harold Burton.
The effect has been almost to
isolate Justices Black and
Douglas, make Justice jackson
again look like a New Dealer
and Justice Frankfurter also.
Justice Reed is by nature and
long habit a middle-roader.
The Chief Justice is one of
the Presidents most influential
advisers. He has helped to re-
make the court probably by the
exercise of that influence In the
selection of Justices as well as
by his own easy temperament.
The President has never been
willing to admit that it takes
men with convictions to make
operable the convictions he says
he has. The independent agen-
cies and commissions are fall
tering because they are no
longer being stated by such
men but are increasingly given

thing else to be considered in
sizing up the "Taft-for-Presi-
dent" movement which, in the
long run, is likely to have more
of a bearing on his fortunes.
This can be explained by
pointing out that the driving.
energizing force behind the Taft
movement is in those who do
not care one whit what the
Senator may say or do about
Europe or Asia or Korea or any,
thing else. That doesn't matter.
Their aim, chiefly, is down with
New Dealism and Fair Dealism,
and all such tendencies, and
they are ready to devote their
time and their money to this
crusade. They see in Senator
Taft a symbol for this crusade,
though that is not a fair esti-
mate Of him. He has come to be
that for their purposes, so that
his chief difficulty has become
the company which insists on
keeping close to him.
It's viewpoint has been de-
feated in five successive national
elections, which is a simple fact.
Wise Republicans know that. It
is probable that a majority of
convention delegates will recog-
nize it again, as they have since
1910.
President Truman understands
that simple fact and the rea-
sons for it. That is why, at
every opportunity, he singles
out Senator Taft and wallops
him in the effort to identify the
Republican Party with the an
tiquated attitude of some of the
most active and devoted Taft
promoters.
That simple fact is clearly
understood, too. by the moder-
ately progressive elements of
the Republican Party. They
are in minority in Congress,
where the party is suffused with
the Taft coloration which Presi-
dent Truman capitalizes; but
they have won every national
convention since 1910. That
year they put over Wendell L.
Willkie and nominated Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey in 1914 and

1948. Twice Senator Taft was
candidate, and twice defeated.
This element of the party now
is sitting back confidently,
watchfully waiting. It refuses
to be swept into the Macarthur
parade. the present manifesto
ton of Taftism. Again it will
be powerful come convention
time, for it has the slow march
of American history on its side
and such strong leaders as Gov.
Dewey of New York, Senator
Duff OF Pennsylvania. and Gov.
Warren of California, who will
, control the three largest dele
cations, among other influential
leaders.
1t will be what these politi-
cal captains do, .off-side so to
speak, that will determine the
1852 lineup on candidates and
issues, rather than the shadow
boxing going on here in public
view. It may end up with Gen.
Eisenhower, or one of the three.
or somebody else; but the Dew
ey-Duff-W Warren contingent is
likely to decide.
AS for the Democrats, Presi-
dent Truman's accepted role is
to carry the ball, keep the party
before the people as the New
Deal-Fair Deal party, and see
that the convention is like
minded and nominates a candi-
date to conform to this pattern.
He then could politely fade out,
if he chooses.

New China PoIicyIs HighIyMoro|
Ringing Speech by Dean Rusk Signals Return
To Tradition of John Hay, Wilson, Hughes

The exact words of Mr.. Rusk
are these:
1--WE do not recognize the au-
thorities in Peiping (the Red
China regime) for what they
pretend to be. The Peiping re-
gime may be a colonial Russian
government, a Slavic Manchukuo
government on a larger scale.
It is not the Government of
China. It does not pass the first
test. It is not Chinese.
"It is not entitled to speak for
China in the community OF ma
tions. 1t is entitled only to the
fruits of its own Conduct-the
fruits of aggression upon which
1t is now vilfully. openly and
senselessly embarked.
1--WE recognize the National
Government of China, even
though the territory under its
control is severely restricted. We
believe it more suthentically 1ep-
resents the views of the great
body of the people of china,
particularly their historic de-
mand for independence from
foreign control. That govern
ment will continue to receive
important aid and assistance
from the United States"
Here is a ringing declaration
that rightly ignores military
supremacy as a sole criterion ard
goes back to Americas historic
policy of the days of Republican
Secretary of State John Hay
the preservation of the inde-
pendence and territorial integ-
rity of China. 1t is notice to
all the world that Communist
China can never get American
diplomatic recognition as long
as it is under the Moscow yoke.
It points the way to a free ex-
preston by the Chinese people
of their wishes uncoerced by a
foreign government. It sets a
pattern for the future every
where else ana serves notice
upon Russia that sne cannot
expect to gobble up or dismeyn-
ber smaller governments and
obtain for them recognition by
