CATION of his personal friends
who are making the journey
to Columbia. The great for
eign policy debatS not only is
keeping Democrats on hand for
crucial roll calls, it symbolizes
the shift in emphasis which has
reduced the significance of Mr..
Byrnes' re-entry into public life.
Jimmy Byrnes is one of the
most popular men ever to hold
Office here. But the economic
issues on which he differs with
the President, whose Secretary
of State he was, have been
relegated to the background
and civil rights are now but a
diplomatic fencing ground. Mr..
Byrnes has been noticeably
quiet, cultivating his garden at
home and holding aloof from
the Washington battle.
The administration effort to
mend fences with him further
illuminates the Truman strategy
in the present crisis. 1t Is to take
his support wherever he can find
1t. regardless of old quarrels and
party labels. What he does not
intend to do is to compromise
with what he regards as the
isolationist sentiments of for
mer President Hoover and Sen
ator Taft.

beings as myself: have their
hours of discomfort and are not
a bit happier. This being the
case, I am rather passive than
active in life ="
II used to have a degree of
horror at the thoughts of the
misery endured in war. Erskine
relieved me from this. He goes
upon system, which is just to
keep himself as easy and happy
as he can, and to make the best
of everything. He does not suffer
so much as others from his in
difference and just yielding to
the blasts of adversely. Thus he
gets up in the morning and just
tries to be as easy and happy as
he can till night. Sometimes he
feels elevation of spirit by lively
company. or by reading a good
poem. but he is rather still, and.
like standing water, a little apt
to be muddy and sour. :"
II was mentioning Erskine's
character to Sir James Mac
Donald, a young man who has
made a great figure at Eton
School and the University Of
Oxford and is studying hard to
fit himself for Parliament, being
full of notions of the conse-
quence Of real life, and making
a figure in the world, and all
that. When he heard Erskine's
sentiments (Which. by the by,
are much my own, and which I
mentioned just to see what he
would say. he was perfectly
stunned. Why said he, he
must not be a man. He Is unfit
to live in human society. He is
not of the species I was really
entertained"
But the young would-be cynic
was not wholly satisfied with the
views he had just put down. His

To give even an inkling at
this time of what is being dis
cussed in Tokyo between Gen.
Macarthur, his top military
assistants and the Army and
Air Force chiefs of staff would
be a real disservice to the ma
tion's security, 1t is stated in
quarters which know what is
going on.
All that can be said at this
time is that these discussions
are far more important than
any held in the past between
the two members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the high
command in Tokyo. The re-
suits will be translated into
actions in the near future.
These actions are the subject
now of a wide range of specula-
ton. ranging from the highly
unlikely possibility of with
drawal from Korea to the
launching Of an invasion Of the
Chinese mainland by the Ma
tionalists from Formosa.
The fact that Gen. Collins
stated for publication yesterday
that replacements will be sent
to American forces in Korea as
soon as they are available in
this country should kill any
speculation that we are ready
to pull out.
There is more than the usual
confusion in administration
quarters in Washington.

has needed us before. The ideo-
logical issue is footless. Religious
wars are never won. and in all
such wars the original issue
eventually is submerged in the
war itself. which takes on a
life of its own, aiming at victory
regardless of issues, and re-
doubling it's zeal as it loses sight
of its aim.
We are told that unless the
United Nations denounces
China as an aggressor it will
crumble. But it has long since
crumbled. It's purpose was to
bring peace and good will to
the earth and little has ema-
mated from it but vituperation
and hatred, broadcast to the
ends of the world. The great
powers, as presently represented,
have been weighed and found
wanting. 1t is shadow, not sub
stance. Therefore it must, in
historic time, make way for
something else.

Henry McLenore:

Prof. Robert S. Ort and the
likes of Prof. Robert S. Ort
make me want to take a swing
at Prof. Robert S. Ort and the
likes of Prof. Robert S. Ort.
In case you didn't get the
name the first four times. 1t is
Prof. Robert S. Ort. who is a
young Wabash College social
psychologist.
This young high-dome, &C
cording to an Associated Press
dispatch, has gathered himself
a bunch of statistics which prove
that the American husband is a
pretty sad character"
Prove it to whom?
Not to American women, that's
for sure. They marry Ameri-
can men as fast as they can get
them before a preacher, and
probably would marry 'em faster
if all the States didn't have laws
establishing an age limit for
brides. And even those who be-
come widows, either grass or
sod, in most cases can scarcely
wait to grab themselves another
American husband.
Prof. Ort can gather figures
all his life but he'll never con-
vince the American husband
that he Is poor husband.
Perhaps the most self-satis-
fled creature in the world is the
American husband. and that
goes for the cat who just ate
twice his seasons bag of canar-
les.
The American husband looks
on himself as just about the
luckiest thing that ever hap
pened to a wife. He considers
himself tolerant. liberal, a hard

enemies to the extent of wish
ing to restrain and save them
rather than destroy them. be-
cause victors or vanquished are,
in the words of John Donne,
mutually involved in mankind.
One reason for the profound
anxiety obsessing politically con-
scientious people is that they
lack faith in the intellectual
vigor and ethical strength of
their leadership. They fear
less the pain and destruction of
war, or decisive military defeat,
than military victory turned into
political and moral defeat. They
fear this because it has twice
occurred within the experience
of everyone over so.
What good will it do us to
destroy the Soviet Union?"
they ask.
1t is not a foolish question.
1t would do no good to destroy
Russia as a great nation. In
the longer or shorter run it
would do evil, because the des-
truction of any great country
is evil and lets loose new men,

Nationalists - would further
weaken the already shaken
United Nations.
Our vote for the cease
fire resolution may have been
necessary from the diplomatic
standpoint. But the State
Department and White House
Immediately became aware of
the unfavorable reaction among
the people of this country.
Some members OF Congress
warned the executive branch
that our acceptance of the hu-
initiating terms of the cease
fire would be interpreted as
q surrender to the Russians.
Questions would be asked as to
why we went into Korea and
then got out with no other ac-
complishment than heavy loss
of lives, money and prestige.
There would be no serious re-
action, the administration was
told, to withdrawal from
Korea because of military nee
essity, or for high strategic
reasons. But the country GER
tainly would reject anything
that looks even remotely like
surrender.
It is possible that Gen. COL

any quartet, choose his Wife's
clothes better than she can, and
knock the block off any fool
foreigner who monkeys around
his gal with hand kissing, sharp

He looks on himself as the one

her to bother her pretty head
with household worries or her
pretty hands with work that

accept as natural, and who pays
a bushel of taxes SO that hus-
bands of other countries may
keep such luXuries as wives.
And, Prof. Ort, the American
husband may have something
there.
Before the professor goes pop
ping off any more about Ameri-
can husbands I would suggest
that he make a study of hus-
bands In other parts of the
world.
He might change his mind
or juggle his figures a bit-if he
studied at first hand the hus-

Dorothy Thompson:

In the "re-examination" Of

litical leaders has, it seems to
me, pointed up the main error.
committed by both ourselves
and the Russians.
That is to believe that peace
is ever furthered by the extinc-
tion of great nations. Wars
fought to destroy the enemy
presuppose that the enemy
country. population, resources.
and military potential will be
annexed to those of the victor
or, in a victorious coalition, be
divided between them.
The latter is dangerous, be-
cause nothing more often causes
falling -out between allies
than division of spoils. For
countries who have no wish to
extend their territories, annexa-
tions are forbidden by public
consciousness and conscience.
The destruction of the enemy
as a free factor therefore in
evitably favors those victors
who have no such inhibitions,
while, in the best case, the mill
tary impotence and economic
distress of the vanquished i'm
pose the burden of his defense
and maintenance upon the vic
tor or victors.
This, which is now self
dent, and should have been
clear to everyone with common
sense, was overlooked by the
Western victors in the last war.
The error reveals lack of that
intellectual capacity which is
the endowment not of the ex-
pert but of men of historical
knowledge, philosophical in
sight. and humane wisdom. 1t
is also symptomatic of moral
obliquity. Strangely enough, it

David Lowrence:

There is altogether too much
panic and emotion in some of
the interpretations being placed
on the Korean news. Despite
the fact, for instance, that
members of the United States
Joint Chiefs of Staff have been
making periodic visits to the
Far East during the. last six
months. the latest trip of Cen
eral Collins, Chief of Staff of
the Army, and General Vanden-
berg, head of the United States
Air Force, has been widely mis-
construed.
Some observers have intimated
that the purpose was to cur
tail the authority of General
MacArthur's headquarters, and
others have limited that with
drawal from Korea is really
contemplated.
The presence of two high
level intelligence officers from
the United States merely coin
cided with the visit of General
Collins and General Vanden-
berg and had nothing to do with
the mission Of the two members
of the Joint Chiefs of staff.
The truth is that planning in
the Korean operation is never on
q day-to-day but on a month
to-month or even on a two or
three-month basis. The reason
that Generals Collins and VAN
denberg went to the Far East.
while the third member, Ad-
miral Sherman, and the chair
man, General Bradley, stayed
behind, is that the Joint Chiefs
must continue as a functioning
body in Washington. In place of
Admiral Sherman, there are
high naval officers in the Far
East to represent the Navy with
reference to any naval prob
lens connected with the fight
ing.
The purpose of Generals Col
Inns and Vandenberg in flying
to the Far East-they will be
back in a few days-is to make

a survey of the progress made to
date and to take a look ahead
as to manpower and require
ments and other problems.
The Defense Department has
just announced that troop re-
placements are on the way and
that some of them will arrive
in Korea in February and some
in March. The very mention of
next month as the time when
replacements are due is a quiet
hint to the skeptics that the
United States plans to keep on
fighting to hold Korea.
There was some speculation
here that the possibility of Chi
nese acceptance of the u. N.
cease fire" plan might have
occasioned the trip to the Far
East by Generals Collins and
Vandenberg. but this is not so.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff was
familiariZed three weeks ago
with the technical details of the
various cease fire" plans then
being offered before the U. N.
The decision of the American
Government, however, to sup
port the cease fire" resolution
before the U. N. was not made
with the consent of or the OBJ
lection of the Joint Chiefs, as
they were not consulted on what
was regarded by the Department
of State as purely diplomatic
decision.
When Generals Collins and
Vandenberg return to Washing
ton, they will have completed
further plans for the carrying
on of the military operations in
Korea and they will bring back
their impressions as to how the
U. N. forces are progressing.
The Korean problem is one
that could change only after
weeks and weeks of fighting but
it is not likely to change over
night. If American losses
should become prohibitive, with
drawal would be considered. If

Housing Loans For Veterans

Recognition of construction cost problems in Alaska and the other territories was given by the Senate when passing the housing act of 1851 last week.
 The bill, which provides for federal defense housing con- struction through private con- tractors, prescribes limits of 5000, S10,000 and 900 for the average cost of two, three and four-bedroom family dwell ing units. These limits would be subject to an increase of 50 per cent in the territories.
 In addition, Federal Housing Administration mortgage allow able amounts in Alaska would be raised to a point 50 per cent higher than in the continental United States. Under existing law the Federal Housing Com missioner, on the basis of higher costs, is permitted to increase by one-third the maximum dol lar amount otherwise applicable to mortgages eligible for insur- ance under the National Housing Act with respect to property in Alaska. The provision in the Senate-approved housing act for 1851 would change such one third authorized increase to one-half
