"He had a long stratch on his nose,

Butch ki-yi-yied all the way home,

Dog and cat relationships are always
interesting.
There is no doubt that in the main
the ancestral conflict between the two
is easily overcome.
All one has to do is to bring them up
together. Then they become fast friends,
in all but few cases.
The bulldog, in all it's forms. is per-
haps as near a natural enemy of the
house cat as any breed But even it
can be turned into friend, as our cor
respondents narrative proves.
Many years ago we saw in yard on
18th street big white rabbit, white
bulldog and a black cat playing to-
gether.
They made pretty picture, one which
pointed forward to the day envisioned
by the prophet, when the lamb and the

discussion stage, Mr.. Dulles mission undoubtedly
has paved the way for concrete negotiating
action, perhaps in the next few months. Thus,
as far as Japan itself is concerned, Prime Minis
ter Shigeru Yoshida, in statement of his own
has declared that his government and "a pre-
ponderant majority" of the Japanese people
warmly welcome" the proposed security ar
rangement and fully realize" that they them
selves must do something for sef-defense. The
latter point presumably means that they are
ready to rearm on limited scale, which requires
the repeal of their historically unprecedented
postwar constitutional Observation-Disclosures
but unrealistic- against their ever again main
tanning armed forces.
The Kremlin together with Peiping, can be
counted upon to inveigh against all this. But
most of the free nations still technically at war
with Japan will be one with us-in basic prin-
ciple If not in detail-as regards the kind OF
peace treaty that is needed. Certainly, given the
threat Of continuing Red aggression, common
sense demands that the Asiatic power vacuum be
filled in way that will help to counter that
threat.

To Fill the Japanese Vacuum

John Foster Dulles has wound up his special
mission to Tokyo with statement making clear
that the United States, despite recent threatful
objections from Red China and the Soviet Union,
Is determined to work out peaceful settlement,
preferably with Russian participation, that will
end Japan's status as a Far Eastern vacuum of
power.
AS long as the vacuum continues to exist,
the master minds of Communist aggression will
be sorely tempted to move against and fill it.
Accordingly, as the Kremlin already has learned
from our State Department, and as Mr.. Dulles
has now reaffirmed, the United States is prepar-
ing to conclude with the Japanese treaty under
which they would ID undertake limited rearma-
ment for self-defense and (2) receive from us
perhaps in concert with Australia and other Pa
cific countries-a long-term security guarantee
The guarantee-co committing us to regard an at
tack upon them as an attack upon ourselves
would involve, among other things the stationing
of American military forces in or around Japan
for an indefinite period (while Asia remains
explosively tense) after the signing and ratifi-
cation Of the treaty.

Recruits and Air Force Reservists

There was q bright side, after ALL to the
difficulties which the Air Force ran into as
result of the overwhelming rush of volunteer re-
cruits since Christmas. The difficulties have
been enumerated by the Senate Armed Services
Preparedness Subcommittee in it's report on over
crowdng at Lakeland Air Base in Texas. The
bright side became apparent when the Air Force
Cancelled plans for the calling of 10000 enlisted
reservists to active duty. The influx of recruits
has eased the Air Force manpower needs for the
time being which is good news for reservists who,
for family or business reasons, would have been
seriously inconvenienced by involuntary active
duty.
The remarkable squirt In recruiting which
occurred during the latter part OF December and
the first part of January caught the Air Force by
surprise For November the recruiting quota had
been set at $4,000 and only 10000 men were en-
rolled. For December the quota was $4,000 and
during the first three weeks of that month only
$4,000 recruits had signed up, with the holiday
season expected to bring drop in the enlistment
rate. The contrary occurred, however. More
men were enlisted during the final week Of De-
cember than during the three preceding weeks
combined
What caused the upsurge? review of the
headlines during the last week of the year pro-
vides a possible explanation. Things were going
very badly in Korea as the Christmas holidays
neared Our boys were fighting off attacks on
the Hungnam beachhead Announcement of the
complete evacuation at Hungnam was made
Christmas Day. There were dispatches telling of
Chinese Reds swarming below the 38th Parallel.
The Reds were boasting they would drive us of
the Korean peninsula. On the day after Christ
mas the Air Force announced plans for huge
expansion to meet the growing threat of another
world war. The announcement could not have
been better timed It appealed to young men
who were facing the draft and who preferred to
pick their own service, while there was yet a
choice to be had And the Air Force, under
standably enough overlooked no publicity me-
dunn in advertising the attractions of service in
aviation. The response was phenomenal
Conditions in Korea have greatly improved
since Christmas-a circumstance that has
played a part in the decision of both the Air
Force and the Army to revise the reserve pro-
gram. The urgency for calling trained reservsts
has faded. There is time, it is hoped, to train
the new men who have volunteered for duty
men for the most part without family ties or
business connections to hold them back. If
these men can be properly trained and sent into
new units before a more acute emergency de-
velops, the Air Force will be in very fortunate
position If and when the critical hour arrives.
That is q reassuring aspect of what the Johnson
subcommittee called the Air Forces grab" OF

Our Alaskan Defenses

, It may come as something OF shock 10
many persons to learn that parts OF Alaska ana
the Aleutian chain are undefended and probably
could be seized by an enemy in event OF an all
out war. This was disclosed in report just
issued by Senate Armed Services Preparedness
Subcommittee. Actually, however, the report
reveals nothing that is not already known to
the Russians We found during the Pacific war
that keeping an invader out of some of the iso-
lated Aleutian areas was not easy Decidedly
reassuring however, were the findings OF the
Senate investigators with respect to the progress
made since the Korean outbreak in strengthening
our defenses in Alaska.
Until the Reds began their aggression in the
Far East last year the build-up of ground and
air forces in the Alaskan theater had been
alarmingly slow. This was not because the
Defense Department underestimated the impor-
tance of the northwestern outpost but because OF
an acute shortage of housing for troops and their
dependents. This shortage caused an indefinite
delay in the sending of additional troops to
Alaska, troops that the Joint Chiefs of Staf
said were badly needed there. With the sudden
threat of another war, however, steps were
taken at once to send reinforcements to Alaska
and to quarter them in temporary field huts
So Alaska is better prepared to defend itself
against invasion than it was six months ago.
The committee found the territory in "a state OF
alertness and vigilance" that should Illustrate
another Pearl Harbor- style attack While remote
shores are not defended, critical areas can be
held with present forces, the Senators believe.
They urge, however, that more troops be sent
to Alaska as soon as housing can be prepared
for them. Housing remains the chief bottleneck
in the defense program, with labor shortage
and imitation complicating the situation. Living
quarters available for dependents of our soldiers
and flyers were described as shocking" A
collateral trouble, the report said is "a stran-
Cling amount of governmental red tape upon
which the whole (defense) program chokes"
Numerous recommendations for improving con-
ditions were made The various departments
concerned-and more than the Defense Depart
ment are involved-should study this detailed
report with care, for the security of Alaska and
hence of the whole North American continent
is at stake.

An imperative Need

In his Atlantic City address to the American
Association of School Administrators, Defense
Secretary Marshall has revealed q fact that
serves as another grim illustration of why there
should be prompt congressional action on the
military manpower bill that has been approved
by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The fact, in General Marshall's words, is
simply this: eve had very difficult time this
current month finding 10000 men to be sent to
Korea" as requirements both for battle casualties
and the i'll and frostbitten There would have been
no such difficulty, of course, If after the Second
World War, the Nation, in keeping with the
counsel and warnings of its best authorities on
the subject had had the wisdom and foresight
to put into operation universal military training
of the sort envisioned in the bill now before
Congress
Indeed, as General Marshall has put 1t, "If
we had had Immediately available trained
reserve that could have been quickly brought
into action" the Korean attack might never have
been made, or probably would have been sup
pressed long before this In any case, the De-
fense Secretary has not exaggerated in declaring
that our failure to do what we should hrve
done-an example of national neglect that left
us obviously weak in military manpower-en-
couraged the Communist aggressors to strike and
caused American losses that could otherwise
have been avoided.
Our Nation must put an end to that kind of
neglectfulness. The world is in period of
tension that may continue, with recurrent crises,
for ten or more years to come. In such situa-
ton, If an all-out war is to be avoided, or If
we are to win in case the aggressor cannot
be deferred, it is imperative for us to develop
adequate reserves of well-trained military man
power Congress ought to act upon the matter
with the least possible delay.
