or group of men were strong
enough to fire or depose the ruler
by legal means. So Brutus and Cas-
sius plotted, and on a day in March,
Caesar, powerful and unsuspecting,
walked up the steps of the Capitol
to meet the knives of his assassins.
Controversy, Then, Too
That stirred up great civil con-
troversy in Rome, too. Was Caesar
right in his principles and policies
concerning the Roman empire, or
were the men who deposed him by
liquidating him right? 1t might be
argued that Rome, under Caesar,
reached its peak of dynamic ex-
pansion and that its decline began
after Caesars death in "A BIC. But
regardless of the truth of that po-
sition, the split over the aims and
policies of Julius Caesar marked
an epochal turning point in the his
tory of the Roman empire.

wherever possible, and choosing
more often to retreat than to fight.
Grant favored action and often
sive contact with the Confederate
armies. Over the protestations of
his subdordinates, he decided to
attack wherever possible and car
ry the war to the enemy.
The ultimate surrender of Cen
eral Lee and the Army of Northern
Virginia at Appomattox proved the
rightness of Grants strategy. But
Grant, who went On to become
President of the United States.
albeit not an especially popular
one, remained the center of
malestrom of violent opinions All
his life.
So the Macarthur story Is oy 10
means a new one. Call his actions
and utterances in Korea insubor-
dination, or call them an honorable
defense of his own principles, they
have basic meaning for US as
dramatic illustration of the grim
fact that the United States has to
choose between two basic and diff
ferent courses in this battle against
the evils of communism.
One way is going to be right,
the other wrong. We say that the
nation, in its collective mind, has
split over the issue of which is the
best way to deal with Communist
aggression in the Far East.
But it is not, it cannot be, fatal
split. The doubt that has been
lurking behind our thinking and
our attitude on the question of how
best to fight the monstrosity of
world communism has been
brought plainly into the open and
is clearly defined.
There is no longer any reason
for anyone-be he statesman, NIL
itary man, farmer, storekeeper or
factory worker-to deny the exist
ence of that doubt. Now it can be
talked about and it can be elm
mated.
That is the great service that
President Truman and General
Macarthur have unwittingly per-
formed for the nation and the free
world. They have managed to get
all the cards on the table
The answer, still to be found, is
there somewhere.

THE GREAT CONTROVERSY
There's Little Of General Macarthur in All Of Us,
And History Shows Symptoms Behind His Dismissal
Have Existed in Various Forms for Many Centuries

Bruce was the storm center of a
raging controversy much of his life,
while he held to and fought for his
ideal Of free and independent ma
ton. He settled that issue himself.
however by decisively defeating
the English forces under Edward
II at the battle of Bannockburn in
June, 1914, and assuring the CON
tinuanee of Scotland as an indie
pendent kingdom.
Every student of American his
tory knows of the quarrels and
differences of opirion that flared
after President Abraham Lincoln
put General Grant in charge of the
Union armies. Some members of
Lincoln's own cabinet not only re-
fused to support but actively OPP
posed Grants appointment.
1t was, in a sense, a Macarthur
situation in reverse.
Grants Problem
And when Grant took command
in March, 1864, he found he had to
fight not only the enemy but the
torpor and passivity of his own

air power to the mighty peak it
reached in time to help win World
War II.
Whether time and events will
vindicate General Macarthur S
ideas as fully as they have those
of General Mitchell is anybody's
guess.
One of the abiding characteristics
of many powerful and successful
military leaders in the past has
been their capacity to capture the
imagination and sympathy of the
people and carry them along a
chosen course-to point, at least.
This makes for power and au-
thority And the possession of broad
authority is like having a permit
to carry pistol. Keep it in the
holster and depend upon its pres
ence there to control circum-
stances, and chances are you won't
get into trouble. The danger of
carrying a gun lies in the possibil-
ity that sooner or later you might
start firing it Unfortunately and
lot of people will get hurt, in

have your own strong, definite and
perhaps impassioned answer to
each of those questions. And &C
cording to your answers, you align
yourself on one side or the other
Of the Macarthur controversy-the
great American schism of 1851.
1t is a basic division, a schism
of the soul and spirit; and the rock
upon which the split has occurred
is a military man, a soldier. yea,
even a 71-year-old general.
Military Mems Drama
That in itself is not unusual. 1t
is, in point of fact, a fairly sound
historical tradition that great
epochs of mans development are
likely to turn upon the personality
of a military leader, probably be-
cause it is easy for the public to
focus its attention upon a man
who can be identified with the
drama of danger and physical &C.
ton, and with the glamour of mill
tary triumphs.
General Macarthur follows Wig
orously in that tradition. It has been
his peculiar destiny to help lead
this nation in shifting tyranny both
right and left within the past
decade, striking to the right at Jap
anese Imperialism in World War
II and to the left at Communist
efforts at domination in Korea and
the Far East.
Thus he has become a political
symbol, having stood as the spear
head of Americas often inept and
fumbling but always intense de-
sire for a peace that patiently will
not be had for the asking but which
may come if we fight hard enough
for it.
Whether the principles he has
advocated are right or wrong, ii

From that point of view, the

Without attempting to make any
invidious comparisons, a number
Of historic parallels to the Mac
