Gen. Marshall now teStifies that
the administration didn't like
Gen. MacArthur's answers to
the questions of the press prior
to December 6-even though
they primarily concerned mill
tary matters in his theater of
action-not a word of such
criticism was ever relayed to
Gen. Macarthur. He could as
easily have inferred that there
were no complaints here.
Not a single word of criti-
cism or of any other kind went
to Gen. Macarthur specifically
referring to his own statements
or pointing out any deviation
from policy to him between
December 6. 1850, when the
general directive was issued. and
the day he was dismissed
April II, 1851.
The now famous letter which
Gen. Macarthur wrote in rou-
tine fashion. answering an in
quiry from Representative Jo-
seph Martin, Republican, of
Massachusetts, was dated March
20 at Tokyo. Although he had
written letters to members of
Congress and had talked with
them in Tokyo during period
of nearly six years and they
had made public the views
which the general gave them,
not a single word of criticism
of his relations with members
of Congress had ever been con-
veyed to him by his superiors
in Washington.
When, on March "a last,
Gen. Macarthur addressed a
plea to the Chinese commander
to agree to a cease fire." not
a single word of the statement
or declaration being planned by
the Government here - and
which it says it was circulating
among 13 governments - had
been sent to Gen. Macarthur
for his information. Actually it
Is reliably reported that he had

prepared his communication to
the Chinese commander 10
days before and was waiting for
an opportune moment to re-
lease it. Likewise, Trygve Lie,
secretary general of the U. N,
has since stated publicly that a
military commander in the field
has the right to address the
enemy commander on armis-
tice terms at any time.
The message that was sent
to Gen. Macarthur saying the
State Department was plan
ming" some kind of a peace
offer to the Red Chinese did
not give him any details. 1t
was a speculative message and
failed to instruct him not to
make any communication on
this or any other subject re-
lated to it. The home-o office
manager who failed to keep q
branch manager better informed
than that on company policy
would be the one dismissed in
American business today.
Even when the Macarthur
statement to the Chinese COM
mander was published, the Joint
Chiefs merely asked him a day
afterward to be sure and report
if any request for armiStice
came from the enemy COM
mander. There was not a word
of criticism or of approval or
disapproval sent Gen. Mac
Arthur concerning that state
ment to the Red Chinese COM
mander.
Secretary Marshall has testi-
fed, moreover. that it was an
accumulation" Of things that
caused the dismissal, but what
it looks like is an accumulation
of hostile thoughts pent up
somewhere in the Pentagon and
the White House which came to
a head when Gen. Macarthur

sentative Martin, on his own
initiative. made public.

Lowell MeHett::

When the spirit moves them
the Quakers speak. It has moved
them to speak now and, as you
might anticipate, on the subject
Of peace. A report prepared for
the American Friends Service
Committee has just beer issued
kinder the title, Steps to Peace
"A Quaker View of U. S. For
eign Policy" The authors, or
"the working party" as they are
called, are men and women who
have spent years Of their lives
in Quaker service in foreign
lands. Based on their experience
they find much that is good In
our foreign policy and much
that Is not so good.
The most important Of their
suggestions relates to the peace
making functions of the United
Nations. Coming at a time when
administration spokesmen and
opposition spokesmen seem to
be trying to outdo one another
in toughness of attitude toward
Red Russia and Red China, some

Gen. Macarthur also re-
vealed acceptance of the fact
that the West can never again
dominate Asia-in a previous
passage which was greeted with
exceptional applause:

Asian progress and it may not

pies have the right to shape
their own destiny .. what they
seek Is friendly guidance, un-
derstanding and support. :"
In these passages Gen. Mac
Arthur seems to uphold the
critics of his own policy, es-
pecially the British. These, also,
have argued that the Chinese
revolution is more national
than theological: that Chang

rs iust another Pearl Harbor

IT'S Just another Pearl Harbor
investigation all over again.
Back in December 1941, Gen.
Marshall and Admiral Stark
thought that some one had told
Gen. Short and Admiral Kimmel
what Washington knew about
the forthcoming attack through
breaking the Japanese code-but
nobody did tell them.
Today. 1t comes out that the
President and the Secretary of
State and the Secretary of De-
fense and Special Assistant
Averell Hartman and Gen.
Bradley, who advised that Gen.
Macarthur be summarily dis,
missed, never told him that any
of the public statements he had
made during the preceding four
weeks were violative of military
orders or any other orders re-
latlng to policy statements.
The administration may have
thought that Gen. Macarthur,
at distance of 10000 miles, was
a mind reader and as we'll in
formed about the state Of mind
of persons in Washington as
were the five men who fired him,
but there is not a single bit of
evidence in the record after
three days of testimony to sup
port that point.
In fact, the official record gets
worse and worse for the ad-
ministration in revealing the
same kind of bad liaison in the
last few months with Tokyo as
the War and Navy Departments
had with Pearl Harbor 10 years
ago.
Not a single word of disap-
proval went to Gen. Macarthur
on December 6 last, when a
general directive was issued

all persons in the field as well
as in Washington to clear policy
statements with the depart

Speaker of the House, Sam Ray
burn. made some significant
illusions to that situation.
But even before Mr.. Rayburn
took the floor to announce
ominously the concentration Of
forces which were not Chi
nese," this column had reported
that some II Soviet divisions
were massed in that area; that
a strong Soviet air force was
being assembled for potential
support; that among the II di-
visions were at least four para
troop divisions; and that ap-
proximately three Japanese di-
visions, with men carefully
picked from the Japanese Kwan-
tung army, had been placed in
Southern Sakhalin. a japanese
possession handed over to the
U. S. S. R. at Yalta, for a pos
sible rattack on Hokkaido, the
largest of the Northern Japa-
nese Islands.
This intelligence reached
Washington early this year
from Gen. MacArthur'S head
quarters in Tokyo.
There is no question that the
ousted commander had consid-
cred that situation when he
urged that this country and the
United Nations take off their
gloves in the Korean war.
1t appears that Gen. MacAr-
thur, who unquestionably knows
the Asiatic mentality and the
capabilities of those forces bet.
ter than do high officials in
Washington. did not think that
the presence of the Russian
forces could be fatal to the
strategy he was advocating.

could be. Certainly the relative-
ly small army of Chang Kali
shek on Formosa could be no
more effective now than it was
when it held most of China,
buttressed by large scale Ameri-
can support, and yet was over
whelmingly defeated. Anti.
Communist guerrillas now op-
Grating on the mainland are a
small minority in a country
that clearly prefers its new
government to it's old one.
Moreover it would be imprudent
to assume that even this minor
ity would favor the return Of
Chang Kai-shek."
These are just a few Of the
things the Quakers have been
moved to say because of what
they've seen at close hand in
many miserable lands. The re-
port, an eloquent document Of
81 pages. can be bought for a
quarter at any Office Of the

Generals Policy Lacks Loqic
Statements by Macarthur Appear to Uphold Critics
OF His Own Anoysis Especially the British

Another passage in Gen.
MacArthur's address to Con-
gress proves, on re-reading, to
be very significant, yet confus-
ing from the viewpoint of logi-
cal deductions. It deals with
his estimate of what has hap
pened in China:
"At the turn of the century
efforts toward greater
homogeneity produced the spark
OF a Nationalist urge. This
was further and more success
fully developed under
Chang Kai-shek, but has been
brought to its greatest fruition
under the present regime to
the point that it has now taken
on the character of a united
nationalism of increasingly
dominant aggressive tendencies
-. with excellent soldiers, COM
petent staffs and commanders.
This has produced a new and
dominant power in Asia which.
Tor its own purposes, is allied
with Soviet Russia, but which In
its own concepts has become
aggreSsively imperialistic with a
lust for expansion. :"
The words are most impor-
tant. Here is no picture of a
Chinese people, brow-beaten by
foreign Soviet agents. Mao TIE
tung is presented as the Chi
nese leader who has brought to
its greatest fruition" the ma
tional revolution advanced by
Chang Kai-shek; who already
has turned China into the DOM
1nant power of Asia; who has
a first-rate army; and who is
Wsing the Soviets for Chinese
purposes, while having his own
concepts, the Nationalist-expan-
sionist ambitions.
There Is no suggestion of q
possibly successful counter
revolution, no description Of
hundreds Of thousands of guer-
rillas wanting only arms to
throw off the Communist yoke,
and a strong suggestion here,
and in. another passage, that
the Chinese are unreliable Rus
sian allies:
'I have. from the beginning,
believed that the Chinese Com
munistS' support of the North
Koreans was the dominant one.

Macarthur Knows Asiotic Mind
General Was Convinced Presence of Russian Forces
Would Not Upset Strategy He Was Advocating
Constantine Brown:

Administration spokesmen
have contended that the stra-
tegy advocated by Gen. Mac
Arthur, of hitting the Chinese
bases in Manchuria, would be
disastrous because 1t might
bring us into a shooting war
with Russia. They based their
arguments on the existence of a
mutual assistance pact between
Moscow and her Far Eastern
satellites.
The treaty was concluded in
January, 1850. at Moscow. The
alliance was signed not only by
representatives of the U. S. S. r.
and China, but also by North
Korea. It provides, among other
things, for reciprocal help in the
event of an aggression by
Japan or any other nation allied
with Japan.
If Russia had intended to
make an issue of the present
conflict and intervene she could
have taken the mutual assist
ance pact as the basis for ex-
tending the Korean local war
into global conflict.
Although the Korean armies
were smashed and the United
Nations forces occupied almost
all of North Korean territory
last fall. the Soviet forces did
not enter the fight. Instead,
the Chinese Communists were
pushed in, without Peiping in
voking the January, 1850 alli-
ance, however.
Similarly, it is said now by
the supporters of the Mac
Arthur win-the-War strategy.
there is little likelihood that the
mutual assistance agreement
would be brought into play by

Russia, If our air force were to
strike at the Manchurian con-
centrations and air bases. unless
she already has decided that the
time is ripe to unleash World
War III.
In his testimony before the
Joint Senate Armed Services
and Foreign Relations Commit
tee this week, Defense Secre-
tary Marshall pointed out speci-
fically that the knowledge of the
existence of that alliance be-
tween Russia and her two
Asiatic satellites was considered
when the decision was made
against using Japanese troops
In the Korean war, even as
auxiliaries for supply in the rear.
If this mutual assistance pact,
it can be argued now, were not
used when the allies occupied
most of the territory of one of
the signatories, why would the
bombardment of bases in Man
churia be the cause for direct
Soviet intervention in the war?
Russia remained nominally
neutral when the North Korean
forces were being destroyed. Is
there any reason to believe that
she would act differently if Allied
planes performed logical
strategic operation in Man
churia? Insofar as Moscow is
concerned, the territory of it's
North xorean ally should be as
inviolable as that of her Chinese
puppet. T.
Gen. Marshall disclosed the
fact that the Russians have a
large ground and air force in
Siberia and on the Chinese
Korean border. This has been
known, unofticially, for the last
