Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby

There is something exciting and
gay about billboards. Regardless OF
what they advertise in particular,
their rainbow-hued letters advertise
the fact that you are approaching
a new town.
All people read them, and because
of this billboards could do much to
promote the use of good American
English. But the blatant errors in
grammar. spelling, malapropisms,
ETC., which slap us in the face from
these festive harbingers are impos-
sible to condone!
Just a few examples of what ]
mean:

such word as 'ladie" The correct
possessive plural of lady is ladies'.

Department explains its policy
by saying it had to show the
Western Allies that we were
willing to accept any kind Of
negotiations to avoid . break
within the United Nations itself
and within the Western coali-
ton.
The eagerness Of the Western
nations to hold another Big
Four talk with Moscow, In
spite of the hostile and trucu-
lent attitude Of the men in the
Kremlin. Is another indication
of how uncertain Western
European governments are Of
obtaining the necessary in
dorsement from their own peo-

pected from another Big -Four

The 'but" represents the atti-
tude Of the peoples Of continent
tai Europe toward a hot war.
This factor, which ultimately
will determine whether full
scale rearmament is feasible. is
far more important than the
willingness Of the governments
Of the North Atlantic pact to live
up to the terms Of the treaty.
The war in Korea has acted
to reduce the willingness of some
members of the Western coali-
ton to prepare themselves for
an emergency. It was not the
retreat Of the United Nations
forces before the avalanche Of
Chinese Reds which impressed
the man in the street. but the
devastations which that police
action" caused north and south
Of the 38th Parallel.
The European press has played
up-because it was news-the
destruction caused by the war
ring armies in the cities and
countryside Of Korea. The raz-
ing of most cities and a large
number Of villages in North and
South Korea by artillery fire and
aerial bombardment has given
the peoples of Europe q clear
picture of what could happen to
them if they oppose Soviet ag-
gression across the Elbe River

The Communist propagandiStS
have taken quick advantage of
this kind Of psychological war
fare. They have pointed UP these
real fears by saying that within
less than 10 days after hostilities
begin there will be little left of
Paris, Brussels, Rome and other
important cities on the CONT
nent Of Europe, which were
spared In World War II by
timely surrender.
They utilize with great effec-
tiveness the fact that Polish and
German cities, which fought to
the end rather than surrender.

anyway.
Secretary Acheson has been
in touch with Capitol Hill. too,
on the controversy and Is re-
ported to have given assurance
that support of the resolution
didn't signify any American
commitment either to recognize
Red China or to vote for her
admission into the U. N. or any
pledge to transfer control OF
Formosa to the Chinese Reds.
But, as many Senators see it,
the United States, by voting for
q resolution to negotiate all
these things simultaneously with
a cease fire" arrangement, has
placed itself in the position Of
trading or bargaining for a
temporary ending Of hostilities
and of being willing to pay for
it with a promise to negotiate
the delicate questions of ad-
mitting Red China to the U. N.
and Of control Of Formosa.
What could the United States
do if the other members of the
u. N. voted to admit Red China
as the price of peace? What
could the United States do If
the other nations of the y. N.
decided that Formosa should be
turned over to Red China as
another payment for peace? The
American Government would be
maneuvered into the position
of being compelled to resume
the fighting unless it gave in to
Red China.
Many of the member nations
are so anxious to get American
military and industrial resources
concentrated in Europe that
they are willing to abandon the
Far East. This attitude does
not find favor in Washington
but it emphasizes how the
United States has yielded its
freedom Of action in the world.

that.
But the Senator bubbles. Re-
vealing was this from his re-
cent New York speech:
This proposal to enter into
an agreement to commit Ameri-
can troops to an international
army is a completely new propo-
sition and a departure from past
policy"
Now, Senator! Indeed!
For, a few minutes later, he
pointed out how in the United
Nations Charter-adopted back
in 1945-"we approved a some
what similar obligation to COM
NIT American troops to an in
ternational command" But
then, he argued, Congress threw
certain restrictions about it,
which is true. But we certainly
approved the principle. That
is the essence of collective Sc
curity. even though the u. N.
yet has failed to follow it UP
with creation Of an interna-
tional army. Russia has blocked
that.
The Senator was revealing
also in his New York speech
when, after pointing out that
the Western European nations
seem "at the moment" inclined
to choose Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover to command the Atlantic
pact army, he added:
Tomorrow they may choose
a British or French command

What is going forward in the
Senate now, prior to the Gen.

debate as q series Of afflrma-

themselves of really immense
speeches, Allied with facts, fig-
ures and philosophy, but few Of
their colleagues are on hand to

The absentees cannot be
blamed too greatly since most
of the speakers insist on get

terruption. Few Of them resist
the temptation also to include
hunks Of their past remarks
which now prove their vast
foresight.
All this is their right and
probably educational. It does
not afford that searching ex-
animation OF the speakers
premises and that play Of a
variety of intelligences upon the
facts adduced which merit the
name of debate.
It is probable that there will
be considerably more Of such
exchange after Gen. Eisen-
hover speaks-or even as he
presents his facts. An inter-
esting aspect Of the hearings

ator Taft chooses to take on in
argument the man who appears
now as his most formidable op-
ponent for the Republican
nomination for President in
1852. The Senator is not a
member Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee but there could
be no question of his right to
get into the act If he SO desires.

They expect also to get sub
stantial Republican support.
Some assert that with the con-
cessions they are making to
Congress, only a hard core of
isolationists will in the end be
found voting against the pro-

The Democratic National

furnished each Democratic

members of Congress do not like
to see the most powerful nation
in the world being told how to
deploy its military resources,
especially after the U. N, by
solemn pledge. declared war on
the aggressor in Korea and
didn't back it up.
The fact that the U. N. has
delayed long and has refused
to adopt an American resolution
condemning Red China as an
aggressor Is causing the U. N.
to grow weaker and weaker in
prestige. The Congress may. by
its debates and its votes here
after, take a different attitude
toward Europe and other coun-
tries. The cause Of isolationism
here grows stronger every day
in the face Of an unfortunate
series Of blunders by European
governments and especially by
the conference Of prime minis
tiers Of the British Common
wealth Of States.
With both political parties
mere showing an antagonism to
the administrations foreign
policies, it looks like hard sled
ding ahead for all proposals to
send American troops and funds
abroad. The u. N. resolution
on cease fire" may get tangled
up in Communist palaver. Un-
less the Peiping government pre-
sents an unequivocal acceptance,
the chances are the United
States will be expected to lead
a fight in the U. N. for adoption
of the resolution condemning
Red China as an aggressor be-
fore even an amended cease

sidered.

structive devices which will be
used In World War III will cause
even greater destruction than
the blockbusters and incendiary
bombs Of World War II.
This type Of psychological
warfare is bound to affect some
of the continental members Of
the North Atlantic pact, which
have been dragging their feet
during the past Is months in
preparations for defense.
Gen. Eisenhower has received
assurances that as soon as the
first American contingents
promised by our Government
during the Brussels conference
set foot on European soil. and
mountains" of American
equipment are received by mem
bers of the coalition, they will
do their share in accordance
with the treaty. These assur-
ances are highly gratifying. But
no government in continental
Europe can be sure Of how long
it will remain in Office. In case
of a crisis it can be booted out
by popular demonstration in
less than q day.
These European governments
also are members of the United
Nations. Their attitude to-
ward the Chinese aggression
against U. N. forces sent to
re-establish order in Korea is
clearly indicative of their fears
and timidity. They have en-
barked on, and have forced us
to follow them in, the most
shameful appeasement this
country has ever been asso-
ciated with.
It is true that our State De-
partment reluctantly accepted
the terms of the cease-fire pro-
posal and expects that even

why shouldn't that happen? The
Senator didn't use the term
foreigner" but you could al
most hear that.
Again he throws up a straw
man. Again he bubbles over
the basic fact of collective Sc
curity. He proclaims "a con-
stitutional crisis affecting the
whole basis of Government in
the United States and the lib
erty of the people themselves. :"
Whe-e-e-w! He accuses PreSi-
dent Truman of trying to elm
mate Congress and the people
from consideration.
Yet he should know that
the Truman policy is firmly and
soundly based in our history
and traditions and the rela-
tionship between the Executive
and Congress, and that the
President will be most careful
to take into account the atti-
tude Of Congress and our peo-
pie. He needs no resolution
from Congress.
Do we have to have one be-
cause Senator Taft wants it?
What will he demand next?
Evening star., 1951-01-17

Senator Taft is passing
another miracle-to use an old
eamp-meeting expression.
The first, of course, was when
he took over the role of spokes-
man on foreign policy for the
Republican Party in Congress.
Somewhat new at that and a bit
awkward and inept at the start,
he spared around for a few
days, mounting one available
platform after another, revising
his script as he went along. Its
theme was a modified sort of
isolationism.
Then he finally hit pay dirt
pay dirt because it has been that
for $50 years or more, gold
mine literally for screaming
eagle constitutional orators and
legalistic hair-splitters, what
ever side you want to take.
This is the Presidents power
to send troops abroad, currently
handy because of our Atlantic
pact commitment to help Europe
defend itself-and us-from
Communism.
Since Senator Taft joined the
issue it has become the issue,
times being what they are and
Senator Taft being the symbol
that he has become. Now every
body is tossing this rusty
bauble about. CuriouSly, some
Democrats have become so
frightened that they are ready
to appease the Senator te shut
him up.
ALI of this is the second mir
acle that the Senator has passed.
Whatever the law and the
Constitution-and there seems
to be more of each against the
Senator's position-the most
interesting thing about his new
adventure is what it reveals
about him.
Apparently the Senator just
doesn't accept yet, deep down
inside him, the theory Of collec-
tive security. He still seems to
sputter and choke over the es-
sential fact, now generally ac-
cepted, which is that If we are
to set up a common defense with
our Western European allies,
then we must contribute troops
to that defense.
The way to have common de-
fense is to have common de-

Dissatisfaction with the ad-
ministration's foreign policy and
particularly with the American
Government support of the So
called "appeasement" resolution
in the U. N. is not confined to
the Republican Party.
The issues are now boring
their way into the Democratic
Party as well. While James F.
Byrnes, former Secretary of
State and newly inaugurated
Governor of South Carolina,
was calling on the U. N. to bonn
bard Red China's bases, Demo-
cratic Senator Mcclellan Of
Arkansas was asking the Senate
to declare Red China an ag-
gressor. He sought to have a
resolution adopted to declare
that Red China should not be
admitted into the U. N. and
that economic sanctions and
complete blockade of Red China
should be ordered by the U. N.
If Communist China isn't an
aggressor, he said, then our
troops should be withdrawn
from Korea.

ator Eastland, Democrat, Of
Mississippi, has likewise criti-
cized the present policy Of the
