lack of food and clothing.
When queried about the cor
rectnesS Of this report, which
was published in American
newspapers, Gen. Macarthur
stated that this was a matter
between the American and Ko-
rean governments and outside
the scope of his authority.
Thus, the United Nations forces
are being deprived Of between
10000 and 100000 reinforce

There are good reasons for
believing that for the first time

In which we cannot possibly

There's an ironical answer
although perhaps one not too
palatable for Americans-with
which to try to placate the cleft
wing" members of the Labor
government in Great Britain
who seem to think Gen. Mac
Arthur should either be muz-
zled or removed from his COM
mand. It would be to formulate
q new set Of rules somewhat as
follows
/. No officer or enlisted man
of the armed forces of the
United States shall hereafter
answer any letter from any
member of Congress. Democrat
or Republican. who addresses
any inquiry to him.
2. II any military man hap
pens to write a personal letter
or letter commenting on mat
ters of public interest to some
member Of Congress who makes
such a letter public. believing
it in the public interest to do
so. the immediate expulsion of
any such member of Congress
shall be ordered and a certified
copy of the removal action
shall be sent to the British
House Of Commons or to any
other complaining governments
in the U. N.
It might. of course. encour-
sge the British Socialists who
have introduced a motion in
the House of Commons calling
for an expression Of mo con-
fidence" in Gen. Macarthur to
feel that the adoption of such
o motion is tantamount to an
order to President Truman to
discipline Gen. Macarthur and
that it will establish q prece-
dent for regulating the behav-
ior Of other American officials
in the future.
Seriously. however, the episode
is likely to split the British Par
lament as 1t is bound to split
the American Congress if it is
pressed. The Labor government

anticlimax to his glamorous Ca
reer.
To be the center Of a con-
gressional explosion on a great
issue of peace or war would,
this group feels. appeal very
much to Gen. MacArthur's fa-
nous fair for drama. He has
little to lose in the way of per-
sonal advantage. He is long past
the retirement age and as one of
the four Generals of the Army
his salary and emoluments are
permanent. (The three others
are Generals Marshall, Eisen-
hover and Bradley)
The decision on Gen. MacAr-
thur rests squarely with Presi-
dent Truman. The British and
other allies appear to have
agreed that there is nothing they
can add or detract from the
situation; it speaks for itself.
Their denials are absolute that
they are making any new repre-
sentations formal or informal;
OF course, the old ones are still
on file.
The President opened the first
cabinet meeting after the Chi
nese Reds entered the war with
the stern statement: There

The truth of the matter is
that Gen. Macarthur is just be-

differences Of opinion which
have existed between Washing

months as to what should be
done in Korea. Gen. Mac
Arthur has publicly appealed
to the United Nations for mill

remain outside the conflict.
The diplomats were wrong,
principally because the Indian
ambassador at Peiping. who was
our listening post, had drawn
the wrong conclusions from his
conversations with the Com
munist leaders. But it would
be useless now to try to place
the blame on anybody for such
a plausible error. The important

Such sonata recitals, as played
by Szymon Goldberg, violinist
and Artur Balsann, pionist, in the
Library of Congress last night
are still in the minority. Only
two perfectionists imbued with
highest ideals could have brought
forth such unusual and exciting
results. @
Mr.. Balsam's name is well re-
membered here through his ap-
pearances with Nathan Milstein
Zinc Fracescatti and others. Mr.
Goldberg is a newcomer. in his
local debut. A native of Poland
he came to this country two and
half years ago by way of the
Orient. where he appeared in
concerts. The tone he draws
from the Strad. while not overly
strong, is warm and sensitive. II
is colored by imagination and
penetration into the music per-

technique and pliable bowling.

Ohio enacted our soil conservation
law in 194l. Now Ohio leads the
nation in number of districts with

problem of soil depletion. They
are doing a marvellous job in or
ganized areas but the work needs
to go faster. Soil conservation is
everybody's job, yet only few
leaders are seeing the problem
clearly.
The Agricultural Council in OF
