Well, how do you go about the

this was a move which. never
should have been made and that
1t might provoke Russian en-
trance into the war.
But now, after President Tru-
mans recent speeches saying
that force alone talks in inter-
national affairs when the enemy
is ruthless and unprincipled, it
does look as If expansion of the
war in Korea is a likely step.
The Communist radio sus-
poets that something is in the
wind. It has declared that new
amphibious landings by the
U. N. forces are in prospect.
It has said that the U. N. forces
also are planning to use atomic
weapons. Maybe that's "fish-
ing expedition"-an effort to
find out what the Allies are up
to. But there are not many
moves left. If the U. N. forces
do have atomic weapons, tneyll
find public opinion in America
demanding that they be used
and the situation clarified. If
they haven't any such weapons,
then a step-up in the use Of
heavy artillery and conventional
bombing are the alternatives.
In any case. the American
people have not been prepared
for an endless war and another
winter for more than 100000
American boys in and around
Korea with no present sign that
any other nation is going to help

viding any substantial number

most delicate problem before the
Government today, and a climax
of some kind may be expected

whatever purpose the Govern
ment has in mind by the trip
would hardly be disclosed In any
official announcement.
The statements by Generals
Ridgway and Van Fleet have
been issued in the last 48 hours
in an attempt to give the public
an idea of what is happening on
the military front. The need
for the offensive. even though
of a limited nature. which has
just been carried on is explained
and an effort made to justify 1t.
It is plain that the two state

then the two statements tell
why that's a wrong assumption.

STUTTGART.-The peren-

presses with special urgency on
the military commanders who
are required to put her in a
posture of defense with allied

from the civilian authorities who
are coping with the political and

military solution invariably is a
counsel of reserve.

strictions due to motives Of
high diplomacy. which only dip
lomats understand, seems to be
over. There is every indication
that the hands of the Supreme
Commander, Gen. Matthew
Ridgway will be entirely free

q full scales
The enemy soldiers are not
motivated by the American SEN
timent which can be summed UP
as ''let's finish them of and go
home!" There is no pleasant
"going home" for the Korean
and Chinese soldiers. There is
no question that they fight well
and with typical Oriental fatal
ism don't care whether they are
killed or not. They retreat only
when so ordered by their top
generals and are seldom routed.
A withdrawal without formal
orders calls for immediate execu-
ton of the officers and men in
volved.
Thus while the Communist
fighting potential cannot be
written off as was the case in
the early stages of the Korean
war when armchair strategists
described them as hordes moving
like sheep into battle to be mown
down by our firepower. they dc
not fight with the same eager

Constantine Brown:

The battles In Korea are more
costly and violent than any
fought by our troops in the last
war in Europe and Africa.
Gen. James Van Fleet Is an
excellent psychologist as well
as a first class commander.
Realizing that the so-calied
truce negotiations might soften
up the fighting spirit OF the men
under his orders he maintained
local offensives and kept the
troops on the alert all the time.
Thus when a new offensive was
necessary his men had not been
softened-as the enemy ex-
pected-by four months Of "lei-
sure"
Tnis explains the qualified
optimism of our military leaders
that they will be able to do
more than keep their present
defensive positions when they
get the green light from Wash
ington to renew offensive opera
tions. On paper the enemy is
far superior to us in manpower.
Moreover. during the fake
armistice talks he has brought
vast numbers of men and large
quantities of war material to
and near the fighting lines. The
once almost non-existent Red
air force now has well over
1900 modern planes and is
challenging our aviation. Mos
cow has sent some Of its best
plancs-and allegedly a number
of first class combat flyers to
Korea and Manchuria.

quently by orators OF the
United Nations. To them the
Korean campaign is a dirty bus
mess and the sooner it is ended

majority of the men in action
have that American conceit that
they cannot be defeated. They
want to put an end to the blood
letting in Korea by kicking
the damned Reds in the teeth. "

Lowell MeHett:

Americas favorite soldier Is in
a dickens of a fix. He'd like to
be President Of the United
States-in his case a laudable,
perfectly proper ambition, since
manifestly he possesses quail
fications for that high office
but circumstances have sort. Of
boxed him in, making it difiicut
for him to become a candidate.
More than that, circumstances
at present seem to preclude the
honest-to-g goodness draft which
his friend Roy Roberts says will
be required to persuade him to
run So General Ike is in
Ak.
He has been given one Of the
toughest assignments, perhaps
the very toughest. of his career
as a soldier and statesman. The
assignment itself is a tribute.
He was picked by the Presi-
dent as the one man deemed
capable of uniting and organiz-
ing the forces of Western Eu-
rope for their own defense. It
wasn't a Job that anybody could
do or that any one of a half
dozen available generals could
do. In this country and in all
the other countries concerned
there appeared to be unani-
nous agreement that the one
man most likely to succeed was
Dwight Eisenhower. The Presi-
dent could not name anybody
else.
When Gen. Eisenhower re-
sponded to the Presidents call
there were those who said he
was permitting the President to
eliminate him from the 1852
race. He was accepting a task
he could not lay down until it
was finished and few believed
1t could be finished by 1852.
This belief is being justified.
The task Is still far from being
finished. Gen. Eisenhower can
not lay it down. Not even to
run for President can he do it
less for that than for any other
reason. in fact. Thinking as a
candidate, which he has right
to do, he must dismiss any no
ton of coming home or even
admitting a willingness to run,
until the job is done. Great as
his prestige is. it would not sur
vive a retreat from the respon-
sibility he has accepted.
The honest to- goodness draft
is something else. Should the
Republican convention next
summer subject him to such a
draft, without his having lifted
q finger. or having been caught
lifting a finger, in his own be-
half. 1t would be o different
story. The American people
