On the east, OF course, lies the
United StateS-one of the two
dominant powers in the world
and Canada. The Latin American
nations to the south pull little
weight in the Pacific and are
drawn primarily into the Atlantic
defense system.
Moving counterclockwise we find
Russia with it's Siberian finger
pointed at Alaska and its Kurile
Islands and Sakhalin bases pointed
at Japan, where the Allied occu-
patton is providing the base for
fighting the war in Korea. Nov
ing southwark we encounter Red
held China with anti-Red Formosa
denying it dominion over the
Western Pacific.
Southeast of Red China are our
close Philippine friends and far
ther south Indonesia, both new
born as free nations and strug-
Cling with all the burdens of a
complex world. Eastward lie Aus
tralia and New Zealand, with their
great fear of anything coming out
of Asia.

the Pacific.
Goal Is Defense
The ultimate goal-and it may
be illusory-is a Pacific defense
system which will be as tightly Or
ganized, as ready to act and as
capable of repelling aggression as
The system we are building for the

The path from an almost totally
unorganized collection of Pacific
countries to highly organized
thoroughly cooperative system
military defense is long and rocky
1t starts with the effort to link to-
gether those countries which can
be most easily joined for defense
purpose.
This means the United States
Australia and New Zealand. The
latter two have been strong for a
Pacific pact for many months,

rible and constant attrition upon
our forces" Perhaps the best that
could be said of this prospect is
that it might involve and punish
Red China sufficiently to deter
them from new aggressions.
Russia Risk Debated
AS to Gen. MacArthur's strategy
of extension and its risk of draw
ing Soviet Russia into active par
ticipation, he said to Congress
only that in his opinion, "the So
Wet will not necessarily mesh its
actions with our moves"
Presumably the general will dis
lcuss the risks and attractions Of
his strategic concepts in more
detail When he appears before the
Senate committee. Presumably
both the general and Pentagon
witnesses will be asked for an
Ievaluation of the danger of the
Russlan-Red Chinese mutual-as-
siStance pact being invoked in
the face of what may be consid-
cred acts of war-bombings, block
AIDES or invasion-by forces of the
United States, Of the United Ma
tions or of Nationalist China.
Presumably there will be a more
exacting discussion of the real
strength Of Nationalist China
forces on Formosa. Not only have
unofficial estimates of their num-
Der varied by extreme degrees,
there have also been more official
reports that they are not at this
point either well equipped or well
trained.
On Friday night the Pentagon
announced dispatching of a new
mission to Formosa. The
100-offlcer group will determine
Nationalist needs in materiel and
will participate in the training
Of troops.
In his address on Thursday Gen.
Macarthur took occasion only to
pay tribute to the conduct of the
government of the Republic Of
China without detailed discus
sion OF its current military po-
tential.
Presumably. there will also be
severe examination-probably al
ready accorded in the Pentagon-
OF the theory that naval and air
action, even with Chinese Ma
tionaliSt ground support, could to.
day defeat Red China or serve to
enforce a peace. While circum-
stances are not fully parallel it is
remembered that theory of air
and naval action alone was quickly
abandoned in the face of the in
ltial North Korean aggression last
summer. It is perhaps more dis
luieting to recall that the COM
1ination Of Japanese air, sea and
ground strength over five years
was incapable of bringing victory

Contributing to the controversy
although certainly not a resolu-

marks of two Importantly placed
members of the House of Repre-
Isentatiyes. Chairman Vinson o1

and Chairman Mahon of the

Chairman Vinson was quoted as

Chairman Mahon was quoted as

By creston B. Mullins

President Truman, under the
heaviest bombardment of his ca
reer for his Far Eastern policies,
took a step last week to create in
the Pacific counterpart to the
defense system which America
and Western Europe are creating
in the Atlantic.
His announcement that the
United States is negotiating a tri-
partite treaty Of mutual assistance
with Australia and New Zealand
was point of departure for a new
sequence of events, the logical
conclusion of which, it's hoped, will
be the formation Of a solid, anti
Communist bloc Of nations bor-
dering the Pacific which will be
able to hold in check the tide of
Red aggression which already has
been stopped in Europe.
Although Mr.. Truman's latest
move was timed, it is likely to take
some of the strength out of Gen.
MacArthur's campaign for a posi-
tive and energetic policy Of COM
batting the Reds in Asia now, the
long-range objectives Of such a
program are not likely to quiet
the demands on Capitol Hill and
in many other places that the
United States free Immediately the
hands of its military commander
in the Far East to beat back by
any means the Chinese aggression
which prevents the United Ma
tions from accomplishing its pur-
pose in Korea.
Differs From Atlantic
The advocates of prompt action
to win complete victory in Korea
are not likely to be satisfied with
a program which admittedly will
take many months. if not several
years, for the problem in the Pa
cif1c is like that in the Atlantic
in only one reSpect-the threat Of
Soviet aggression. In all other
respects the problems are entirely
different, and the whole approach
to them is different.
The task in the Atlantic is great

Beacham's unit refused to yield
the beachhead until the trapped
elements had fought their way
back to the friendly perimeter. He
and his buddies boarded small craft
on the beach, sailed out to an

and scrambled up rope nets onto
the decks. The fleet then hoisted
heavy equipment from bobbing
craft below and whisked the entire

Winfield WeIch
Buys Chicago
American Giants
For Estimated
Fifty Grand

CHICAGO - The sale of the
Chicago American Giants by j. B.
Martin, owner of the club for the
past IL years, to Winfield Scott
Welch, a baseball veteran of 25
years, was the most startling news
to emerge from the annual Negro
American League winter meeting
here last week.
According to Martin, WEIGH and
a group of prominent businessmen
purchased the team two days be-
fore the meeting. The exact pur-
chased price was not revealed but
it was generally estimated to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Martin said the combined duties
of serving the NAL as president
and operating the team were too
heavy. After being assured by
league members that he would
again be elected president, he de-
cided to sell.
er with the New Orleans Crescents
in 1922, will be owner and presi-
dent of the Giants. Now resident
of Chicago, WEIGH said he was able
to swing the deal after forming
a syndicate of local businessmen
who were anxious to see the Ameri-
can Giants continue to operate.
In announcing the deal, Martin
said; 81 could not serve two mas
ters-the league and team. | coulC

WEIGH has been a player, manager
and executive for % years. | am

Welch started playing profess
sionally with the Crescents, his
home town club. In the early 30's
he was named manager. During
his long career he has piloted the
Birmingham Black Barons, Cincin-
natl Crescents, New York Cubans
and Chicago American Giants. He
managed the latter team in 1949.

NEW YORK-Ezzard Charles,
fresh from a 10-round victory over
Lee Oma Friday night, today

his World Heavyweight boxing
title when he agreed to meet Jer-

James d. Norris, President Of

get 40 per cent of the gate. Wal
colt will receive the challenger's
customary II per cent.
1t will be the second meeting
between the pair. Charles de-
feated the veteran Camden, N. j.,
boxer for MIA recognition as
World Champion in Chicago June

Since then, Walcott, who will
celebrate his 37th birthday the
last day of this month, has had
six fights, winning five. His lone
defeat came at the hands of young
Rex Layne of Lewiston, Utah, who
surprised every one by winning a
