countries which behind the
scenes are violating the spirit
of the U. MS own resolution by
trying to obtain admission of
Red China to the Security Coun-
Gil of the U. N.
The U. N. forces in Korea are
engaged in life-and-death
struggle. Most of the troops
are American but the faithless-
ness being shown inside the
U. N. is a blow to all the U. N.
forces. Every day that this
situation continues. public opin-
ion in the United States will
keep on wondering whether the
recent speech of John Foster
Dulles, urging Americans not to
forsake their allies in Europe,
might not better have urged
certain governments allied with
us in the U. N. not to forsake us.
The military situation in
Korea will remain desperate
but not hopeless. For many
weeks, perhaps months, the
struggle will go on as brave men
withstand superior numbers.
There will be retreats and set
backs but ground will be given
only after severe punishment
has been inflicted on the enemy.
The battle would be won with
out question if the U. N. forces
could lombard the supply depots
and air bases of the North Ko-
reans in Red China. For every
bit of outside aid is coming from
across the border in Manchuria,
which, according to U. N. in
structions, the American air
forces are forbidden to attack
even in retaliation.
History records no such handi-
cap in fighting a major war of
the past, and the responsibility
for the handicap must be placed
squarely on the U. N. member

land said: If the majority Of
Democrats want me, I'll take
it Right there, I said, that's
my boy"
Senator O'Mahoney, possessed
of seniority and great prestige,
had been one of the obvious
choices November 9 but he
passed the ball to Senator Rus
sell of Georgia. Senator Rus
sell bowed but passed it TO Nc
Farland who had voted with the
Southelners against cloture
civil rights.
The Senator from Arizona
held on. His tenacity paid off
30-19 despite a last-minute de-
cision by Senator O'Mahoney to
make the race.
The lesson there, said a Nc
Farland manager succinctly, is:
Don't start your horse in
race where your rival is already
at the quarter post"
The conservative Southern
bloc which adopted Senator Nc
Farland made a belated bow to
2 unity over the week end by try
ing to draft a Truman Demo-
crat-Senator Mcmahon chiefly
to take the position of McFar-
lands aide, the whip. All the
leading New Dealers refused.
The caucus was harmonious.
The New Deal nucleus knew it
was outvoted and that the elec-
ton OF majority leader would
only be practical ratification of
their true minority situation in
the Senate. President Truman
stands by the liberal view; it
may win elections still, but in
the Congress a conservative CO.
alition runs the show. This
trend set in in 1910.
Asked after his victory what
kind of a Democrat he thought
himself, the new majority lead
er said: Il don't like labels and
I hope we can get unity. I'm
told my record shows me about

Constantine Brown:
Time to Use Chionq's Forces

When will Washington become
realistic and give the green light
to the Chinese Nationalist forces
in Formosa to move across to
the Chinese mainland?
This question has been asked
anxiously by those who are
aware of the risks we are run
ming in Korea. Unless the ad-
ministration awakens quickly,
it may soon be too late, and
the Nationalists may lose their
ability to make a worthwhile
diversion.
The American front is shud-
dering under the blows of a nu-
merically superior enemy, pro-
vided with the best equipment
Russian factories have been able
to produce.
Whatever the gentle diplomats
call the present fighting, which
involves more than. 100000
Americans, in plain GI Ian
guage it is real war between the
United States and Red China.
Insofar as the Chinese Com
munists are concerned. no holds
are barred. But insofar as our
Government and the United Ma
tions are concerned it is still
police action" None of the
U. N. members, which ordered
the move in Korea. are sending
any more reinforcements. They
have provided token forces and
do not intend to do more.
Nor is the Pentagon willing
to send more troops to fill the
depleted ranks of our armies.
The truth is that neither we nor
our Allies can afford to send
more ground forces without in
curing terrific dangers. The
Russian army has not used a
single squad in this campaign
ordered by the Kremlin. It's
187 divisions are. to say the
least. threatening shadow
which compels the free nations
to hold on to what little they
have available for their own
defense. We have committed the
bulk of our present available
forces.

ment Official, who likewise has
contacts among Republicans
in Congress.
In Gov. Dewey's favor, looked
at long range. is the fact that
his internationalist wing of the
party, while less influential in
in Congress-, has been trium-
phant in the last three national
conventions over the Taft forces,
both in platform and in candi-
dates-Wendell Willkie in 1910
and himself in 1914 and 1948.
Politically the Hoover speech
was a break for Tom Dewey.
He was quick to pick up the
ball. 1t gave him a chance to
draw the issue broadly on CO.
operation with our allies, now
a fundamental of foreign policy
generally accepted by our
people. He maintained his Re-
publicanism by the criticism he
has voiced so often before of
the administrations Chinese
policy and of its defense policy
which. he said, had allowed the
mightiest force on earth, our
naval, air and ground forces, to
disintegrate."
Once again Tom Dewey is
much in the national Republi-
can picture.
