manhood to answer totalitarian
aggression with formal war.
The democracies. which claim
to be determined to oppose ag-
gressive Communist imperial
ism, do not seem to have the
same strength today. At the
present moment British diplo-
macy is striving to persuade the
American Government to &C
cept the cease-fire proposal
sponsored by the Asiatic and
Arab countries, even if it means,
in fact, a surrender to the Chi
nese Communists.
Until a week ago, the admin
istration in Washington was de-
ternined to accept no such So
luton, unless the Chinese with
drew their forces from Korea.
But under the continuous ham,
mering of the British and In
dian governments it appears
that there has been a weaken
ing of this stand insofar as
American diplomats here and
and at Lake Success are con-
cerned. They are leaning toward
acceptance of these proposals
in a form sufficiently modified
to save the face of the Ameri-
can Government.

voted against the resolution in
the U. N. does not mean, as some
reports have surmised. that it
is doomed to be rejected by the
Peiping government. The STRAIT
egy might well have been plan
ned for the Red Chinese to
accept the plan in the face of
ostensible opposition from the
Russians as this would tend to
foster the impression that the
Red Chinese authorities in their
diplomacy are truly independent
of Moscow.
The advantages to the Red
Chinese in favor of accepting
the cease-flre plan are that they
get what amounts to recognition
in a future international con-
ference and they are also
promised an opportunity to sit
down with commission from
the U. N. and trade and nego-
tiate about Formosa and ad-
mission to the United Nations.
This does not necessarily
signify that the American Gov
ernment is ready to support a
change in it's Formosa policy or
in its attitude toward admission
of Red China. But it does raise
this issue: if the other nations
of the commission outvote
America the United States will
be in the position of seeming
to wish to resume hostilities and
wage war unless it makes i'm
portant concessions to Red
China. This is a severe handi-
cap to America in the negotia-
tionS.
Anxiety over what the Ameri-
can Government has done by
its support of the cease-fire pro-
posal extends beyond military
circles here. Privately, many
members of Congress are even
more worried about 1t. They
think the United States has
been entrapped and that Amer
lea will find herself outmaneu-
vered the moment cease

The Trunnon-Dewey Alliance

Gov. Dewey on crucial matters
of foreign policy.
On the second level, Under
secretary of State James Webb
handles various details with
liaison people designated by
Gov. Dewey at Albany.
It is perhaps from some
inklings of this situation that
the rumors arose about Mr..
Dewey having been offered the
post of Secretary of State. 1t is
probable too that Mr.. Dulles
recent visit to Senator Vanden-
berg in Grand Rapids was in
part at least for the purpose of
acquainting the Senator with
the new arrangements and the
reason for them.
A Truman-Dewey alliance of
this nature makes good sense
both as realistic craftsmanship
and practical politics.
Viewed as craftsmanship. 1t
helps to give internationalist
Republicans. especially in the
East, a genuine participation in
the bipartisan forei7r policy
they have done so much to for
mulate and bolster. Since Sen
ator Vandenberg had to drop

no Republican of sufficient stat
ure to pick it up. A Vandenberg
protege, Senate. Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, does his very best
but he is too junior to the
dominant Old Guard to force

Lmvirate to open up their ranks
and admit him.

Henry McLenoore:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
would like to ask all of you
who have employers a question
that has been fretting me for
long time.
I think this is a good time to
ask it because I am just back
on my feet after a few days
with the flu.
This is the question.
Do you believe in your heart
of hearts. your tibia of tibias,
your cerebellum of cerebellums.
that employers ever really be-
lieve their employees are sick
when they say they are SICK?
What mean is. when you call
up and say you feel too miser-
able to come to work, does your
boss accept your word without
bit of Skepticism, without
once thinking you are giving
him the old run-around?
My guess is that he doesn't.
and my guess is based on long
experience. I've been working
ever since hatchet was a ham,
mer and I don't believe any one
I ever worked for ever thought
I was sick when I said I was.
Even when was moving lawns
for a living, and didn't show
up on Saturday because Of
measles. mumps or chicken pox.
the owners of the lawns I mad
to neglect spread the rumor
that I was as shiftless as Huck
Finn and undoubtedly was eff
fishing. They wouldn't have be-
lieved me if had taken them
a measle or a mump as a pres
ent.
A man would have to make a
long and hard search to find a
nicer organization than the one
for which I am writing this
column - McNaught Syndicate.
Its president, Charlie McAdam,
is dear friend of mine. and was
a friend of mine long ago be-
fore went to work for him.
But I know that he doesn't
honestly believe that have been
sick these past few days and
have been trif1e slow in getting
my columns to the New York
office. He has not written or
wired me to that effect, but I
know I'm right just the same.
Employers just don't think
employees get sick. Just a notion
they're sick, that's all. To con-

constitute a workable majority
in Congress.
But, from time to time, you
are sure also to see the Presi-
dent seizing whatever opening
is offered to reiterate his Fair
Deal detectives, or even to make
an issue of them to keep them
alive.
This is for a very practical
reason, just as his present with
drawal is dictated by practical
considerations.
The Democratic Party is a
truly assorted mixture. To hold
it together, the President must
try to please all of it's various
elements. Powerful among them,
it is plain, are labor and minor
ity groups keenly interested in
social welfare legislation and
civil rights. He can't let them
down and it will become neces-
sary to take the offensive for
them now and again even at the
risk of alternating the conserva-
tives in his party, including
Southerners in Congress.
That will be matter of tim
ing, of striking when his situa-
ton in Congress becomes less
precarious. That could be. for
instance, after he gets the bulk
of his defense and foreign policy
measures through.
This goes to party morale, and
that will become vitally impor-
tant in two years when we have
another election. For neither he
nor his party can surrender
principles of economic and poll
tical progressivism. even in war
time, and hold the confidence of
the rank and file which is essen
tial to success in elections. He is
fully aware of that.
Our people, like the Democratic
Party, are likewise a diverse
mixture. For the sake of ma
tional morale, since all are being

Facts Of Korea War Iqnored

Churchill seek a frank ex-
change of views" with Hitler
and Mussolini and make a SUI
preme effort to see into their
hearts and minds. The British
and Americans knew only too
well what they contained. And
Stain and Mao are no better
than their predecessors.
The French, who refused to
continue the fight from Africa,
were labelled traitors to the
common cause. Yet the treaty
between France and Britain
was no more binding than the
United Nations Charter.
Nobody suggested that Presi-
dent Roosevelt sit down and
have a art-to-heart talk with
Emperor Hirohito after the
American and Philippine armies
were defeated by the japanese.
Any such suggestion then would
have been an act of treason.
The fact that in both these
instances there had been a for
NAL declaration of war on the
part of the democratic nations
against the aggressors does not
change the present picture in
the least. In those days the
democratic nations had the

Constantine Brown:

There are many in this coun-
try and on the other side of the
Atlantic who apparently want
to deceive themselves, for they
refuse to recognize the stark
fact that the unprovoked at
tack by the Chinese armies on
the United Nations forces in
Korea was an act of war.
Because there has been no
formal declaration of hostilities
they refuse to accept the fact
that we are now at war. They
overlook the fact that dicta-
tors do not declare wars, they
wage them.
In this light the attempts of
the British and Commonwealth
prime ministers to negotiate a
surrender by the U. N. to the
Chinese appear ludicrous. The
representatives of these powers
stated last Friday that they
would welcome any feasible
arrangement for a frank ex-
change of views with Prime
Minister Stain and Mao TIE
tung."
They added that I'VE should,
in the name of common hu-
manity. make a supreme effort
to see clearly into each others
hearts and minds"
We have failed to restore
peace in Korea. Moscow took
advantage of the effort of the
U. N. members to live up to the
principles of their Charter. BY
unleashing the Chinese Com
munists at a time when the
North Korean aggressors had
been soundly beaten, Russia
wantonly launched World War
III.
We have lost lives and men in
that campaign. But the setback
suffered by our forces is no
where as great as that suffered
by the British in 1910, when
they were compelled to evacu-
ate France at Dunkirk. Nor is
our position nearly as bad as
that we faced in 1912, when

bers of Congress have been in
communication with Ambassa-
dor Austin about it--word has
come back not to worry because
the "cease-fire" resolution isn't
going to be accepted by Red
China, anyway.
So the situation comes down
to this: Many influential per-
sons in Washington are hop
ing the "cease-fire" proposal will
be turned down but they fear it
will not be and that the Ameri-
can people may come to feel
that the sacrifices made in Ko-
rea have been of no avail de-
spite the 10000 casualties. Trou-
BILE is then seen ahead for our
rearmament program in Con-
g1eSS.
If, on the other hand. the
cease fire" is turned down by
Red China and fighting con-
tinues, the situation cannot be
less grave even if our troops
are withdrawn or forced out of
Korea. If that contingency
arises, it would seem that the
whole case will turn on whether
the United Nations has branded
the Communist Chinese as ag-
greSsorS. Once branded that
way, some other steps will have
to be taken by members of the
U. N. to punish Red China.
If the U. N. refuses to vote
for a resolution branding Com
munist China as an aggressor.
the stock of the U. N. will go
down to zero with American
public opinion. 1t will become
necessary then for the United
States to decide for itself
whether or what military meas
ures shall be taken on it's own
to blockade China, including
Hong Kong, and to carry on
an air bombardment until Red
China makes amends for her
aggression in Korea. Converse
ly, the demand to do nothing
more and keep our troops from
both Asia and Europe will grow
immeasurably stronger in Con-
gress.

Besides, Senator Taft has now
made it plain that "Mr. Repub-
lican" is prepared to function as
both domestic and foreign policy
leader of the Senate.
There is nothing Gov. Dewey
can do frontally about that.
But his present inside look at
the shape of foreign affairs puts
him in an ideal position to hurl
curved balls at Mr.. Taft when
ever Mr.. Taft gets off base,
which IS bound to happen more
or less often.
With the Dewey alliance the
President has everything to gain
for his policy in which he so
sincerely believes. If he is build
ing up a potential political rival
well, that is the price he must
Fay because his party is so close
to losing power. He can console
himself that that rival is knock
ing another rival down.
Gov. Dewey has said that he
favors Gen. Eisenhower for
President in 1852. If he means
it. the Governor is improving
his ability to backstop the Cen
eral who. as matters stand, rep
resents the major International
ist Republican hope of knocking
off Mr.. Taft in 1852.

garet Chase Smith in January,

Mr.. Truman make Mr.. Dewey
his Secretary of State. She can
be excused if she permits herself

A very much closer co-opera-

Dulles, Republican adviser to

Mr.. Dulles would have been his

1t is understood that Mr..

that the Governor of New York

something of the role in BIZ

Joint Chiefs Not Consulted

The United States Joint Chiefs
of Staff were not consulted before
instructions were sent by the
State Department here to AM
baSsador Warren Austin to vote
for the United Nations resolu-
ton proposing to Red China a
"ceaSe-fire" in Korea. This
means that neither General
Macarthur nor General Ridg-
way nor anybody else in the
U. N. forces was consulted as to
the effect of the proposal on
morale of the troops or as to the
deSirability of a "ceaSe-flre"
step at this time.
Whether all this was by acci-
dent or design has not been
revealed. 1t could be that the
State Department did not wish
to embarrass the military by
asking it to concur when the
position of our forces in Korea
is so unfavorable. To have asked
the military might have posed
the dilemma in which an af-
f1rmative answer could mean an
unwillingneSs to keep on fight
ing while a negative answer
might be construed as blocking
the Department Of States poll
cies.
This indifference to the United
States Joint Chiefs of Staff
creates nevertheless a belief that
high-level policy is rather
loosely made in the American
Government today.
There is considerable anxiety
here in military circles about
the possible consequences of
the American support for the
ceaSe-f1re proposal. It would
not occasion much surprise if
Red China accepts the U. N.
plan. In fact if the Chinese Com
munist leaders have any sense
left at all and are really not
trying to enlarge the area Of
the conflict they will grab the
U. N. proposal. 1t gives them
rare opportunity to confuse their
opponents.

it is said further. because he
gave it only a general restate-
ment of broad principles in his
annual message and other COM
municationS to Congress, in
stead of the specific list of
measures for which he has been
famous hitherto.
To all of this the President
felt constrained to speak up in
a formal statement to the effect
that defense necessarily must
come first now, but that he is
not abandoning the Fair Deal
and is standing by the Dem
ocratic platform. He was asked

No, he isn't giving up the Fair

That is dictated by practically.
His adopted strategy is to
avoid provoking his Southern

they would be driven into a
coalition with Republicans,
which is what always happens
