In fact, the surface indications
seem to give little hope for any
thing except a long drawn out war
of astrition.
The tendency among fairly
representative and responsible
group of MISUNDERSTANDING
some Americans-here is to fee
that there are grounds for hoping
for a compromise. This belief
seems to derive from political logic
rather than from inside informa-
tion.
Many individual diplomats in
private conversations frankly ex-
press dissatisfaction with some OF
Gen. MacArthur's public utter
anceS.
One question certain Western
diplomats also ask: What is the
United Nations objective In
Korea? Is it to overrun the en-
tire country? If so can this be
done with the present forces? II
not is it justified to concentrate
larger forces in a war theater so
far away from what Is considered
here to be the decisive area?
Carl Hartman, Paris - The
French press and public opinion
shows considerable concern that
Gen. Macarthur might unleash
World War III. Many people fall
to understand why President Tru-
man, as head Of the civilian United
States Government, does not con-
troll the generals statements.
Even the Conservative news
papers which generally support
United States policy worry about
Gen. Macarthur rushing into
something that will extend the
war.
The Government takes the
Iofflcial view that Gen. Macarthur
lis a general-and a good one
who is doing his job. That job
is to win the war. But they recall
former Premier Georges Clemen-
|ceau's famous statement war is
too important a matter to leave
to the generals"
officials never tire of repeating
that. even though the United
States is bearing the brunt of the
fighting. this is a United Nations
war being fought in the name of
collective security" to punish the
aggressors in Korea.
The big question now, in French
eyes, is how much aid Russia viii
give to the Chinese Communists. -
Spencer Mesa, Taipeh. Formosa
i think the situation in Korea
holds little or no hope for a
negotiated settlement.
! doubt whether the Chinese
Reds will agree to any settlement
except on their own unacceptable
terms. believe they are prepared
to go on fighting in Korea in
definitely.
Even If they do agree to some
sort Of truce on the 38th Parallel,
I don't think they would observe
it. Rather, when it suited them
they would violate it on the pre-
text that the U. N. forces had
already done so.
The Nationalists are afraid of
a compromise in Korea. They
think none is possible except
largely at their expense.

some Tokyo observers believe
that he has so convinced him

Japan that he will stay there
till he dies. Others believe that
events in China and Korea make
him remain. The general him
self makes mild jokes about

to fly, and he once told an

again, many Britons inside and
outside the government believe
every effort should be made to
Iget Red China to sit down and
talk peace.
Their attitude is that Korea Is
a useless. expensive and danger
GUS conflict.
Sitting across the narrow Eng
lish Channel from the continent,
Britain believes that the main
threat to peace is the lack of an
adequate defense in Western
Europe.
AS for Gen. MacArthW-broadly
speaking-the British press, gov

of public opinion are critical,

tie is for Asia; not just q poor
bleeding peninsula. And Asians
believe the West cannot afford to
lose Asia any more than Europe.
Western diplomats have tried to
deal directly with Peiping and
have met only rebuff. They have
imposed restrictions on the Allied
campaign which have only handi-
capped themselves and worst of
|all have convinced the Commu-
|nists the United Nations are
afraid and weak.
The Chinese will quit, I am
convinced. only when they believe
the West has the superior force;
mot as now; when they consider
themselves to be winning.
The one chance for Allied VIC
tory in Korea, as verified here, is
to use the maximum amount of
force and the fullest necessary
range Of war. That means attack
ing China proper, perhaps with
Nationalist and South Korean
marked planes as the Russians are
doing with the Chinese. 1t means
using Nationalist troops to their
maximum efficiency whether in
full scale assault or merely for
diversion.
It could mean using some of the
Allied divisions now training in
Europe for a quick blow and for
vast experience in Korea. A few
thousand men could be much more
valuable in Asia right now than in
Europe.

Macarthur Admired in War, Feared PoIiticoIIy|
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

Most Of the worlds statesmen
want to avoid spreading the Ko.

land and want to end 1t as soor
as honorably possible. Many ex.
press a deep-grained political dis.
trust of Gen. Macarthur, ever
though they admire his military
ability.
Those are the sentiments re.
ported from diplomatic listening
posts around the globe by Asso.
ciated Press correspondents.

The basic issue reflected in tn.

against the Chinese Communists
in Korea or expand it into ar
all-out crusade against commu.
nism in Asia.
The Associated Press con.

Requests for a frank appraisal
of the situation were sent to AS.
sociated Press bureau at the
United Nations, Washington, Lon
don. Paris, Moscow, Taipeh and
Tokyo. Here are the answers:
Max HARRISON. United Nations
United Nations diplomats are
almost unanimous in the belief
that the time has come to slow
down-rather than speed up and
expand--military operations in
Korea.
Many fear that any major push
beyond the 38th Parallel may
bring another crushing offensive
from the Chinese Communists
perhaps ending in another dis
aSter for the U. N.
The watchword at U. N. head
quarters, therefore, is: Speak
softly. move cautiously, do moth
ing to aggravate or inf1ame the
conflict into a third world war
or a defeat for the U. N.
This means basically that most
U. N. delegates have abandoned
any real hope of unifying Korea
under a single democratic govern
ment.
The statement that best sum-
marizes the feeling here is the
declaration by 1t. Gen. Matthew
Ridgway. 9th Army commander
in Korea. that the u. N. could
consider it had won a victory if
U. N. forces advanced only as
far as the 38th Parallel. The
U. N. then could claim that at
least it had repelled the Com
munist invaders from the. u. NJ
sponsored Republic of South
Korea.
