GET THE AsIATIcs TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

with American fighting men dying In Korea II Ia q
rather nadous argument TO pretend that their lives could
he snved by the use Of the forces Of Natonnlht China
now housed ON the island of Formoaa after fleeing their
own mainland
The behavior Of the Nationalsts In their fighting
npnnst the Communists In China, not persuasive 70
those who can remember back few years The w. - de-
yefed TO the men Of Gen Chang kal-shek something
.teyo billion dollars worth Of arms equipment aud sup
-pIiea Much Of II fell into the hands Of the Communists
aid Of II Ia being used against our own men IN
Korea
The complete futity of such Il scheme IL emphasized
y no less parsonage than Cen Chang Kai-shek him
self Speaking In Fomosa he admsthat his men must DC
given adequate" supplies by the United States or some
other nation and that after these supplies nave beeh re-
will require another six months before counter
offensive could be launched on the Chinese mainland.
The soft way to peace through the of Asiatc SOL
ders is the theme of those who wish to make the
american people believe that the of our soldiers is UNI
necessary Where Asiacs available, the lure is
the exclusive use OF naval and air forces without sking
our men in battle Nowhere in past experience Is there
any for confidence in such simple solution of our
world problems and it unfortunate that the propagan-
da along this line being scattered through the land to
fool the loved of brave fighting men,
In the war that has occurred in Korea the cold facts
are that the South Koreans unreliable as fighters
Time after the enemy has broken through their ranks
gaining positions from which to mperi American fight
ing men They would have been safer If there had been
no South Koreans holding the frontnes So what is the
sense the proposal that arm more South Koreans?
The Chinese Nationalist unable to hold their
own country when they had the support of the
United States which supplied them with expert leader
ship ample supplies and that gave them great
superiority over the Communists What happened? The
Communists for strange reason took over the coun
try ran the organized Nationalist to ForInosa and caps
tured the munitions that delivered to Chang kaishek
What the sense of sending him equipment fnt men ON
Formosa believing that strange process is
ing make better fighters when they get back to
rhernainand? IS
lit easy for vote-seekng politicians to yammer about
saving boys but the truth is that boys must fight
their country will be engufed and the losses that
will follow such catastrophe will make the casualties in
Korea look like nothing Sad it may be, the United
occupies position in the world where must lead
ar follow if fear lea9 then the Russians will tell us
Where to follow,
.,, Nobody else in the world will do our fighting We
can determine protect country its people and their
freedom decide to surrender and accept the
dcaon of those who have the CUTS to fight for what they
The hour has for this country Statesmen
know that 1t is fight or sdrehdef The professional vote
seeking politicians pretend believe that somebody else
will fight for us and hene us organize the world as we
see fit. rt1
