able other matters have to attend
to and I have tremendous con-
fidence in these particular men.
So what I am saying is largely
a reflection of what they bring to
me. I think the extension of the
conflict would not be profitable. ]
don't quite see how it could bring
us to quick and what you might
call a victorious conclusion for a
number of reasons.
In the first place, China is a
vast country and is a country
where human life is not put on
the same standard of values that
we have and losses that would
occur. we will say, from bombing
and things like that they can wipe
off the slate very easily where we
could not.
But you don't destroy much
when you do hit at that. You
make it difficult, you interfere, but
when you lombard a coastal city
when you bomb a coastal city OF
an interior city, 1 don't think you
accomplish a great deal.
The japanese had a long trial
of that and had troops all through
China, but were not able to take
over the country. When you turn
to the next factor involved in that
you come to the question of the
employment of the troops of the
Nationalist government in For
mosa. That is concerned with this
very affair. We are all of the
Iopinion that Formosa itself is OF
great Importance and it is i'm
perative that it be kept out OF
Communist hands.
Question of Effectiveness.
Now, the problem is: Can we
effectively use the troops from
Formosa, completely disregard the
hazard that We think might grow
out of their use in relation to the
development of another world
war?
However, there was a mission of
I37 officers sent from Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters, by him, at
the direction of the Chiefs of
Staff, in early August, to
Formosa. They sub
mitted their report on the l1th
Iof September, and the substance
of that report-this should be off
the record.
That had a great effect upon
the opinion Of the Chiefs of Staff,
in relation to the utilization of
these particular troops. we
think, would have prejudiced the
campaign because of the small
result we would get from incur
sions Of that force on the main
land and the hazards we would
take in reducing the effective force
of those troops that are equipped
and those troops that are rea-
sonably trained. in action on the
mainland, not to mention the
support that we would have to give
them, in addition to what we
were actually doing in Korea with
our Navy and our Air.
Therefore, the feeling has been
that an extension of the present
war. under the terms proposed by
Gen. Macarthur, would not only

Summer holidays will be OBJ

The weekly half holiday is a

to cooperate in permitting the brief

closing business establishments.

Lantaff Announces Navy Yard Will Be
Assigned More Work; Additional Work
Will Require Thousands Of Man Hours
Work Grdnted Key
West Will Lost
Until August. 1853

Representative Bill Lam
taft has been successful in
his efforts to obtain more
work for the Key West Ma
val Base.
Starting next month, ad-
ditional projects will be as
signed to the local base that
will provide work for 81
more men until August
1858.
This huge addition to the
local civilian payroll will
be received royalty in the
city. 1t has long been a
bone of contention here of
the need to have naval
work done in private yards,
while local labor remained
unused.
Though eighty-one more men
will be needed to handle the ad-
ditional work, it does not follow
that many extra men will be hir-
ed. AT present, many workmen
are not putting in a regular work
week.
One of the leaders of the local
movement to bring more work
and hence more prosperity to the
community is David E. McCurdy
of $685. Avenue E.
