munist pressure inside other
governments because they
looked upon Gen. Macarthur
as a symbol of anti-communism
in the Far East. These pres
sures would not have succeeded
except for the build-up among
the Presidents friends of the
absurd idea that Gen. Mac
Arthur. by his letter to Repre-
sentative Martin, was engaged
in some kind Of political con-
spiracy againt the President.
The general had received in
Tokyo both Democratic and Re-
publican members of Congress
on their numerous visits there
and had always expressed his
views freely to them. He never
dreamed that his casually writ
ten letter to Mr.. Martin would
cause the furor that it did.
The general is looking for
ward to his trips to various
States In the near future. Con-
trary to some incomplete press
dispatches on which several
Eastern radio commentators
built their stories last week
about small crowds in Texas,
the newspapers in the cities in
which the general visited show
pictures of record breaking
street crowds.
While only $4,000 persons
attended the ceremonies at
the large stadium in Houston,
instead of the $4,000 for which
there were seats available, one
newspaper took a telephone poll
that same evening and esti-
mated, on the basis of its
sampling. that the general was
being seen on television by the
largest number of persons in
that area ever to witness a
public event.
One local newspaperman
wrote that ut seemed that
all of Harris County turned
out for the generals parade" in
Houston the previous day, and
many Of them didn't want to
face the traffic on a Sweltering
night, with a storm threatening,
to get the stadium to hear a
l4-minute speech that was being
broadcast and televised.
The Dallas morning news
headlined on its front page an
estimate of the crowd there at
100000 and said that Gen. Mac
Arthur rode in triumph to the
most tumultuous reception this
city has ever given a human
being" The police chief in one
Texas city said that no Presi-
dent, not even F.. D. R., ever
drew such crowds on the streets.
1t certainly doesn't seem as if
the old soldier were fading
away"

uation in Iran is the increasing
dissatisfaction in Turkey, Gre
ated by our refusal either to
accept that country into the
Atlantic pact or to sign a BIZ
lateral mutual assistance agree
ment. This may result in a
strong move within Turkey for
a neutrality" policy, which the
present government cannot af-
ford to disregard.
A number Of influential news
papers in Istanbul and Ankara.
as well as a large number of
politicians in both parties, are
asking the government what
their country's position would
be if Russia should attack.
We are helping Turkeys re-
armament under the Truman
doctrine. But the United States
has made no commitment to
Turkey-as it has made to the
North Atlantic pact nations
to come to its rescue in the
event of aggression.
The State Department has
stated repeatedly in public that
the matter Of giving. Turkey a
guarantee was under discussion
with our Allies. But outside of
this diplomatic double talk
nothing has been done to give
the Turkish people tangible
proof that they would be treat
ed, If attacked, in the same way
as the French. the Italians and
the Danes.
Turkish diplomats in Ankara
are utterly confused. The Brit
ish and French tell them that
America is reluctant to increase
its commitments, while our
own State Department assured
the Turkish government that
the opposition stems from our
Western Allies.
An insignificant incident
which occurred two weeks ago
in London caused an uproar in
the Ankara Foreign Office. A
group of Turkish newspapermen,
on a goodwill visit to London,
were received at the Foreign Of

key was not included in the

about allegedly expanding" the
Korean war or "going it alone. "
The generals view is that
there must not be appeasement
on the battlefield and that, once
a nation engages in a war, it
must use its maximum power
to win, and that in the end this
is a surer way of preventing the
expansion of a war already
begun than to give the impress
sion of timidity and fear.
So far as the Senate hearings
are concerned, it is apparent
that the general does not be-
lieve the committee was able
to get the whole story of what
was happening in the State
Department, particularly with
reference to the pressure from
foreign governments.
Thus, there is more than q
suspicion that the British gov
eminent was the prime mover
in bringing about the cleavage
between the State Department
and the former Far East COM
mander. The issues were not
so much what was happening
in the Korean war, but the re-
fusal of Gen. Macarthur to
permit exploitation of Japan
by British commercial interests.
The true story of the kind of
treaty with Japan that the
British have sought-and par
ticularly their opposition to a
Japanese merchant marine-has
never been revealed, and there
are rumorS about some interest
ing preSsures from the British
in Tokyo in which Gen. Mac
Arthur's friendly attitude to-
ward the japanese was the
basis of deep-seated opposition
by the British.
It is also known that Gen.
Macarthur felt up to the very
time he was relieved that he
had the wholehearted support
of both the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and the President. He is rep

hearings that there was some
serious friction between him and
Washington over policy mat
ters. There are naturally diff
ferenceS always with a field
commander on the complex
subjects with which he has to
deal. but the support which
Washington gave Gen. Mac
Arthur, both through the of
f1cers who visited him and in
writing, was always a source
OF satisfaction to him. For this
reason, the general is inclined
to credit as the basic cause for
his removal the pressure of the
British on the State Depart

found time to do It's own work.
Some OF that work-the job of
curbing imitation, for example
is as important as any that
ever confronted Congress. 1t
involves an immediate emer-
gency, whereas the improve
ment Of weak morals is not a
thing that can be done quickly.
So here is a suggestion to
the always receptive Illinois
Senator. Go through with his
assignment to the bitter end,
but take up the ethics of Con-
greSs first. Parading the sins
of the legislators might not only
bring about some reform even

to get down to work now. In

Congress is willing to clean It's

the public's respect for that

Middle East Could Fall to Reds
British Have Far Too Few Troops for Show Of Force in Iran
Turkey Dissatisfied, May Adopt Neutrality Policy

While this statement cannot
be taken seriously, it caused a
sensation in Ankara. What wor-
ries the Turkish government
more than such blunders is the
British insistence on having a
Britisher a. supreme naval COM
mander in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean. The Turks have urged
our Government to place an
American admiral at the head
of the allied forces in that area.
There is no question Of any
antagonism on the part of the
Turks against the British. The
alliance concluded between the
two countries in 1889 is still in
force. But the weakness of the
British nava and ground forces,
and their lack of popularity
with the Arab states from Egypt
to Iran, makes it politically un-
desirable to give British ad-
miral the top job in the Eastern
Mediterranean.
The London Foreign Office
apparently intends to create an
Eastern Mediterranean coali-
ton with Turkey and the Arab
states. Ankara considers this
impracticable, since the Arabs
have no military forces of any
consequence. Moreover, few if
any OF them would accept
British leadership.
The Ankara government has
knocked at the door Of our
State Department for the last
six months with a plea for a
mutual defense pact. This would
take care of the whole Middle
East, where the prestige OF the
United States is still great.
Moreover, such a bilateral pact
would strengthen Turkeys posi-

situation, although the sands
are running out fast in the
Middle East.
The hands of our civilian
leaders appear tied, however, by
some unknown diplomatic COM
mitments, which prevent the
State Department from acting
quickly In the present emergency.

PEELED the weak government of
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh
to reject all compromises be-
latedly offered by the British.
There is a possibility that the
same fanatical nationalist ele-
ments might commit acts of
violence against the some 1000
British citizens who reside in
the oil fields. This necessarily
would bring British troops into
Iran to protect the lives Of their
citizens.
Unfortunately the British
have too few troops in the Mid
die East for a show of force
strong enough to deter the Ira
mans from violence. Besides
one division stationed in the vi
cinity, only one parachute bri-
gades which reached Cyprus
early this month, is ready for
protective action.
These troops do not represent
sufficient force to meet the
emergency which might develop
from their Intervention. The
Allies must bear in mind that
the Russians, who are really the
ones behind the, naturalization
of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.,
can intervene on the basis Of
the 1922 treaty with Iran.

900 Red troops are stationed on
the Soviet-Iranian border. I'm
