Marshall and Secretary of State
Acheson. Gen. Macarthur was
1T.
The unprecedented prestige
of this one man permitted us to
move practically all of our occu-
patton forces from Japan when
the Korean war broke out. The
rs million japanese remained
quiet and orderly after our four
divisions were sent to Korea, not
because they were loyal to Amer
ica, but on account of the vene-
ration for the supreme COM
mander.
The Communists failed in
their few attempts to take ad-
vantage of the departure of the
occupation forces. That was be-
cause the "conqueror" was still
in Tokyo. Then suddenly, over
night, the japanese people
heard that their hero was made
of clay, that somebody far away
in Washington was able to fire
him, just as if he were a mere
official in a japanese prefecture.
A peace treaty with Japan has
been negotiated but has not been
concluded. To all intent and
purposes Japan is still an &C.
cupied country and must be
kept in submission by the United
States. All the passions and in
trigues that have been smolder-
ing but never came to the sur
face during Gen. MacArthur's
tenure may break into the open
now.
There are reports-not Off
cially confirmed but emanating
from official sources-that some
four japanese divisions, orga-
nized from prisoners of the old
Kwantung army and trained for

as his political enemies must

called on Chang Kai-shek to
return to the mainland with his
alleged force of 900 or 600,-
900 or 100000 or any figure that
may occur to you. as a means
of relieving the situation. Who
would have been the first to
recognize the absurdity of the
proposal and the dangerous con-
sequences certain to follow? Who
would have been the first to
point out that this meant in
volving us in 50-year war with
China, a war we probably never
could win? Who would have
raised the question of whether
the Nationalists really would
fight and where the necessary
equipment. the transport, the
naval support, the amphibious
landing craft, the covering air
power, the big and little guns,
the supplies of food and cloth
ing and all the rest were to
come from? And the competent
generals and, inevitably. the sup
porting American troops? And
the money to pay for it all?
You know who would have
raised all these questions. The
very politicians now complain
ing so bitterly because the
course suggested has not been
taken. Their denunciations
would have been shrill-and
sincere.
BY the same token. they are

: ened to force showdown on
the views held by Gen. Mac
Arthur on Far Eastern policy.
8. An explanation will be de-
manded by the Republicans as
to why Gen. Ridgway was
permitted to express political
views on the whole Far East
ern political situation within
the past few weeks and was
promoted after his utterances.
He told the press that the
United Nations might well stop
at the 38th Parallel and achieve
victory. He discussed highly
controversial questions relating
to u. N. policy. Was this cleared
first with the authorities in
Washington?
9. No committee of Congress
hereafter will dare to question
any military officer without the
feeling that it is not getting
the facts or the true Judgment
of the witness. Instead, only
one viewpoint will prevail
that Of the party in power.
10. An appeasement program
could mean a third world war
in a year or two, just as Munich
in 1888 was followed by the
outbreak of war in 1889 after
Hitler had concluded that the
Allies were divided and Ameri-
ca would not fight.
These are but a few of the
many effects that may ensue as
the National Capital is rocked
by one of the most emotional
crises in many years-some
thing that will not end with
the custer of Gen. Macarthur
but only at the polls in 1852.
And all of this might have been
avoided if Mr.. Truman had
called Gen. Macarthur back
for consultation, had given him
a chance to express his views
face to face, and then asked
him point blank whether he
wished to be relieved of his
command or accept the Tru-
man policies without further
discussion. This would have
been more statesmanlike than
dismissing a general and an
nouncing it first to the press
of the world without even an
opportunity for conference.
Certainly Douglas Macarthur
deserved more consideration
from the Government under
whose flag he has fought so
long and so valiantly.

National Guard Long Toms
Go Into Action in Korea

out by a full battery of Long
Toms" that were moved forward
late in the evening to within a
few hundred yards of the actual
front line.
They were screened by special
force that re-enforced line in
fantry in case the Chinese made
a desperate effort to storm the
guns.
The Chinese did not move, how
ever.
The specific targets were road
functions and supply dumps. There
were also hopes of catching Red
Army headquarters in the surprise.
Targets of Opportunity.
For three days the battalion
had been firing on targets of op-
portunity in the mountains and
valleys toward the north in prep
aration for tonight's mission.
But this was the first time any
guns have been moved to extreme
forward positions for a major
bombardment.
Spotter planes were IN the all
over the target area but mist and
rainfall that came with darkness
prevented any observation of what
the firing did. Forty minutes after
the first volley was fired the self
propelled guns were back on the
road, moving to a safer position
in the rear.

The death sentence passed
on julius and Ethel Rosenberg
by Federal Judge Irving r.
Kaufman depresses me. as every
such sentence does. The COM
munity has the duty to ban
from it's freedoms and privileges
those who violate its laws. But
no man and no State can be-
stow life or restore a life it
has taken away. I do not be-
lieve in capital punishment.
All communities rest on as
sumptions which reflect the
general conscience, and no
organized society is conceivable
which does not demand the
fidelity of the citizen. With
out it we should have anarchy,
where freedom is impossible.
Therefore, treason is, in essence.
the worst of crimes, for it
strikes at the most basic social
assumption; it is the sin OF
Judas; and it opens possible
consequences, which the per-
petrator himself cannot gauge.
and which may bring death and
disaster to millions.
But treason, in our times, has
somehow escaped satisfactory
legal definition. Treason hither-
to has been equated with be-
trayal to an enemy with whom
the country is in armed con-
f1ict. Only because the Rosen-
bergs gave secret information

DOTS F7eeSon:
Truman Ready for the Big Wind
Calmly Confident That He Can Handle Himself
In Storm Over Macarthur Sweeping Capitol

United Nations would be re-
quired. This had long been
regarded as an important
stumbling block. But what was
to the Joint Chiefs, to- Defense
and State open insubordination
overbalanced any hesitation
about legal and technical prob
lens with Russia.
If questioned about the change
in the Supreme Commander of
the Allied Powers, Mr.. Truman
will reply to- Moscow that it
was always understood that
commander was to be an Ameri-
can and he is-Lt. Gen. Ridge
way.
The President is calmly con-
fldent that he can handle him
self in the political arena. He
does not at all see himself as
Mickey Mouse twisting the lions
tail: his surprise 1948 victory
knocked that kind of humility
out of him.
1t is nevertheless true that
he Is tackling a romantic char
acter that the American people
have put on a grand pedestal
the first rush of reaction Is
overwhelmingly pro MacAr-
thur. And the President has
weakly and foolishly allowed
the firm peoples base of his
support to be nibbled away by
such political termites as Maj.
Gen. Vaughan and others
along with the mink coat Of
Mrs. Young.

same time was twitting on the

ton Senator for mentioning
possible impeachment. go ahead

Gen. Macarthur, dismissed, in
the midst of controversy here
of course cannot be the lofty
Shotgun of the Occupation, con-
trolling all access to his own
person, surrounded by an idol
izing staff who owe their power
and easy life to him. They
have formed a wondrous cocoon
around him-maintained at the
taxpayers expense.
It is bound to have affected
him. When he finds himself
shorn Of it in the marketplace
amid hustling politicians and
an untrammelled press and ra-
dio he cannot censor, he may
feel very cold. The kind OF
valet service he has enjoyed
is tremendously exhilarating
protective and at the same time
stimulating. It's loss must be
deeply felt.

to a foreign power in 1914, in
wartime, could Judge kaufman
impose the formidable sentence.
But in 1914. we were not at
war with the Soviet Union.
The Soviets were not an enemy,
but an ally.
At least we believed the Soviet
Union to be an ally from the
fact that we were fighting a
common foe. In 1914 the Presi-
dent Of the United States sat in
intimate association with Rus
sian leaders. Wendell Willkie,
had come back from the
U. S. s. R. with glowing reports.
Ambassador Joseph E. Davies
had written Mission to Mos
cow" and a film of it had been
made, on direct request of the
White House, which presented
as impartial justice the purge
trials of 1886 and 1887. The dis
solution of the Comintern had
been proclaimed by Stain; and
known members of the Com
munist party were admitted to
the o. w. I. and the O. S. S.
A few voices persistently
warned that international COM
muniSm, when Russia was safe,
would reopen its conspiracy
against all non-Communist
states. But it was they, then. who
were accused of unpatriotically
challenging the wartime al
lance.

1t is not fair to say that
politics alone was responsible
for the campaign in support of
General MacArthur's persistent
INSTRUMENTATION or that politics
alone is responsible now for the
passionate clamor against the
President for having taken the
only action he could take under
the circumstances.
There has been plenty of
politics in the long developing
situation, to be sure. Indeed. it
may have had it's origin in poll
tics. But it became and is now
something much more. a serious
and sincere disagreement con-
cerning national policy. This,
for the very simple reason that
politicians. like other humans,
have a way of convincing them
selves. A line launched in a
spirit of pure politics can be-
come a matter of principle If
adhered to long enough; in fact
is almost certain to.
Politicians are seldom the
cynics they are supposed to be.
Most of them are fundamental
ly honest in their conviction
that whatever the opposition
party does is wrong. particularly
if the other party happens to
be in power. If they didn't feel
that way they probably wouldn't
be in politics very long.

chemistry of politics and hu-

The same thing has happened
in their evaluation of the bril-

the issue of general Asiatic pol

have to believe that Mr.. Tru-

to believe Gen. Macarthur could
do no wrong. They would have

That is what makes the pres

wise the politicians, with pros

their standpoint, doubtless

the administration a problem

it may be. can bring the ad-
