human race" Missing in him
Is the troubled conscience, the
inner doubts, the lack Of faith,
that turks beneath the surface
OF the most bombastic claims,
and corrodes the spirit Of the
West. Gen. Macarthur believes
that American influence In Asia.
in the Philippines, and in post
war Japan, has been beneficent.
He believes that the wave OF the
future lies with liberty, repre-
sentative government, and the
dignity Of the human person.
He made clear his conviction
that the governments of the
Philippines, Formosa and Japan
are on all counts-political, eco
nomic, and social - immeasur-
ably more advanced, pacific, and
humane than those despotisms
which, In the name Of humanity
and progress, trample class after
class into slavish AFFECTION and
hopeless economic misery. I'M
plicit through his entire speech
was his belief In the American
mission, which, In the words Of
Walt Whitman, is ito cheer I'D
slaves and horrify despots."
Gen. Macarthur showed, in his
review Of so years Of Chinese
history. that he accepts and well
comes the end Of Western colon
ialism in Asia. But he also
knows that foreign imperialisms
can give way to native tyrants,
more power hungry than their
predecessors, and old and tired
imperialisms to new, more ruth.
less ones.
All this is true, as it is true
that the appetite for power can
never be appeased by feeding 1t
more power. but only by starv-
ing it; and as it is true that lib
erty often requires blood for its
fuel.

stupidity optimistic to believe
that there can be any chance Of
an honorable" settlement of the
Korean affair, unless the U. N.
forces inflict a real major defeat
on the enemy, who has been
preparing his offensive for at
least two months.
The British and Indians have
been in continuous conversations
with Peiping on this matter.
They were told that China will
not object to halting the war
on condition that the United
Nations actually surrenders by
accepting all their demands,
which, include participation in
the japanese peace treaty, oc-
cupation Of Formosa and a seat
IN the United Nations.
The present offensive has
both political and military as
poets. If the enemy succeeds
In obtaining a major victory.
he and our British and Indian
friends are convinced that we
would not be willing to take
further losses and would "bow
before the inevitable"
Such a victory would have
the widest imaginable repercus-
sions, not only in Asia, but also
in Europe, where the will to
resist the USSR will be greatly
diminished. If our forces, after
the inevitable Withdrawals,
manage to hold their lines and
the Red offensive fiops, as it
did last winter, there will still
be time for the Chinese to ac-
cept the good Offices Of the
Arab-Asian bloc and negotiate
a cease-fire very much on their
own terms.
But the fact which is upper
most in the minds Of realistic
observers in Washington today
is that Russia will make q real
effort and go long way to see
her Chinese cannon fodder in
fiict a real defeat on the United
Nations forces in Korea.

They used to tell a story out
in Missouri concerning Thomas
Hart Benton, one Of the great
men produced by that State. It
was story intended to indicate
that the statesman possessed Ell
ther a superb sense Of humor or
none whatever.
1t seems that st. Louis had
turned out to honor the then
Senator. First the mayor spoke
and he acclaimed Benton as the
first citizen Of st. Louis. Then
the Governor spoke and he ac-
claimed Benton as the first citi-
zen Of Missouri. Finally an i'm

and distinguished service to this
country, to defend his views
against those Of the President
and q majority Of the delegates
Of states represented in the
United Nations.
No one who saw and heard
him could doubt the gravity,
clarity. and sincerity of his
mind.
He made clear his convictions
that the Korean war cannot be
won with the restrictions put
upon its military conduct by the
political authorities. He pre-
dicted q long drawn out struggle
Of maneuver and attrition, never
reaching any decision that would
warrant the investment OF
American life, blood, and wealth,
with brave youth and the Ko-
rean land and people as its
victims
He said he had not been con-
suited regarding the initiation Of
the campaign but had approved
1t. He said that with the en-.
trance Of Red China into the
war, a new war had begun that
could not be won by pretending
that 1t did not exist.
This, indeed, is the question:
How Is it proposed to win the
war? The President and his
advisers must know. since they
have rejected Gen. MacArthur's
recommendations. They have
not answered this question. They
have said they were fighting for
peace. But the only peace in
sight involves surrender. They
have said they would neither
surrender nor appease. That
means to win. How?
Gen. Macarthur is an uncom-
promising believer in America.
