chance Of getting them together
as that oil and water will mix
It was in 1945 that President
Truman sent Gen. George c. Mar
shall, now Secretary of Defense,
to China as special ambassador
Gen. Marshall was instructed to
try to negotiate a permanent
settlement between the Chinese
Communists and Nationalists.
According to the administra-
tion's white paper" summary of
relations with China, published
in August, 1949, Gen. Marshall's
mission in the early months of
1946 made some progress toward
"a Communist Nationalist agree
ment. but in the spring of that
year the probability of failure
had become clear.
Had Blamed Extremists.
Gen. Marshall, returning to
Washington to become Secretary
of State, blamed the failure on
what he called extremists in both
the Kuomintang (Nationalist) rul-
ing party and the Communist
Party.
United States efforts to avoid
further Nationalist Communist
fighting were summarized with
the publication in the white paper
of statement made by President
Truman to DR.. T. v. Soong OF
the Chinese government.
The overall effect of the white
paper was to write off Chang
Kai-Shek's fight against the Com
munlsts as failure and at the
same time set forth the admin
|istration's contention that the
failure occurred in spite of every
thing the United States did to
help.

to bring the Korean fighting to a
decisive end.
Sees War Invited.
Il believe" he added, "it can be
brought to a decisive end without
the calamity of a third world war.
I believe if you let it go on in
definitely in Korea, you invite a
third world war. I believe the
chances of the terrible conflict
that you so rightly dread-and
all the rest of us dread with you
would be much more probable if
we practiced appeasment in one
area even though we resist to our
capacity all along the line.
That is all I am saying. I am
saying it with the acute conscious
ness of the dreadful slaughter that
is going on in Korea today. If it
is possible to bring it to a sue
cessful and honorable end, I be-
lieve that we should take the
chance Of doing So"

New York late yesterday on his
plane, the Bataan, Gen. Mac
Arthur warned that the admin
|istration's policy of limiting the
fighting in Korea may invite "a
third world war"
Highlights of the testimony, re-
leased after a security screening,
were:
l. Senator Mcmahon suggested
Washington or New York might
suffer an atomic attack if expan-
sion of the Korean fighting
brought on World War III with
casualties far exceeding those Gen.
Macarthur foresaw if limited
fighting continues in the Far East.
2. Gen. Macarthur insisted op-
ponents Of his program for full
use OF American sea and air power
against Red China have not come
forward with any alternative plan
for attaining speedy victory.
"The inertia that exists!" Gen.
Macarthur exclaimed. There is
no policy-there is nothing, I tell
you. no plan or anything"
Joint Chiefs to Testify.
3. Gen. Macarthur consistently
argued that the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, in a set of recommendations
to Secretary of Defense Marshall
on January IL. 1851, supported
his strategy for fastening victory
in Korea by putting greater mil
itary pressure on Communist
China. Late yesterday he sug-
gested that. Nov they may have
changed, and shifted. I do not
know" The Joint Chiefs will pe
witnesses later on and Senator Nc
Mahon observed. I'VE will find
out"
4. The general told Senator
Green, Democrat, of Rhode Island
the United States should protect
itself and "go it alone" if neces-
sary, in the event of the United
Nations refuse to join in more
effective steps to win the Korean
war through sea blockade of the
China coast and air attacks on the
supply lines Of the Chinese Com
munist.
IF the other nations of the
world haven't got enough sense to
see where appeasement leads after
the appeasement which led to the
Second World War in Europe, if
they can't see exactly the road
they are following in ASIA" Gen.
Macarthur testified, then we
had better protect ourselves and
go it alone"
Should Stop Aggression.
S. Gen. Macarthur said the
United States should exert "the
necessary force" to require Com
munist China to stop her aggres-
sion in Korea even if that meant

means that your cumulative losses
ire going to be staggering. 1t
isn't just dust that is settling in
Korea; it is American blood"
Peace in Korea, Gen. Mac
Arthur said, would lead the way
to peace in China.
In his testimony by implication
he made clear his view that the
assistance provided Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek Of the National
ist government around the time
of the victory over Japan in the
Pacific was insufficient to enable
him to overcome the Communists.
"A very little help and assist
ance in my belief at that time
would have accomplished that
purpose" he said. The question:
ling did not extend to what form
|he thinks the help should have
taken.
The administration position has
been that about 81 billion worth
of postwar aid was furnished 10
Chang Kai-shek, without count
ing sales of surplus American war
goods at marked-down prices.
But-as the Truman admins
tration has made clear-this
|country's policy was designed to
produce peaceful settlement in
China. It was not designed To
encourage Chang to try to over
come the Communists by force of
arms.
Says Policy Had No Chance.
Gen. Macarthur declared thai
the administrations 1945-46 policy
|of seeking a merger of the
Chinese Communists and Nation
alists never had a chance. He
put it this way:

Navy Has No Plans
To Seek New Carriers,
|kimbaII Declares

The Navy is not seeking any
new. large aircraft carriers but is
inclined to await the commissions
ing and shakedown of the new
carrier now under construction
before asking for more. Secretary
of the Navy Dan A. Kimball told
newsmen at a press conference at
the Pentagon today.
Mr.. Kimball said the matter of
proposing new and additional
carriers was not even before the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said
the proposal to provide the Navy
with two more modern carriers
was not even before the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. He said the pro-
posal to provide the Navy with
two more modern carriers was
the decision of Chairman Vinson
Iof the House Armed Services
COMMITTEE. Mr.. Kimball said il
was the plan of the late Admiral
Forrest Sherman when he was
Chief of Naval Operations to
build the current carrier and have
it put through a thorough shake
down before ordering any new
carriers. However, Mr.. Kimball
said the Navy was going ahead
with its program of moderniza-
ton for the World War II-built
aircraft carriers and getting them
ready for service.

poets were for shooting war
