WHAT THE BRITISH PRESS SAYS

The removal of Gen. MacArthur was general approved by the British newspapers in editorials tn day after the happening, but there some disap proval
 The Daily Express said "Outside the Kremln no one can view with satisfaction the dismissal Q General Macarthur. It thinks soldiers of hls brll ance can ill be spared
 "The United Nations gave him men and guns and told him to defend freedom Then they sat back and dictated that, no matter how many of his own men were killed he must do nothing to offend the Chinese in re- turn"
 The paper asks whether it is any wonder that II these circumstances MacArthur rebelled:
 "The United Nations should give General Ridgway something it never gave MacArthW -cear-cut political directions which do not endanger the lives of American and British soldiers If this happens, MacArthur's Gacri- flee may not have been in van" The Express then goes further and says:
 "The American man in the street takes tbe sacking of General Macarthur proof that President Truman is in the pocket of the British
 The Fxnress does not think there is any truth ir this suggestion.
 But" it says, i've cannot blame the Am ericans For months they have listened to sections of the British press and Parliament shring abuse at MacArthur and demanding his removal These people can Keep tner mouths shut from now and let the Ameri- cans resolve the MacArthur affair by them selves"

AN ANNIVERSARY IS CELEBRATED

It was big night, January 15 1881, when the Capitol Theatre had its grand opening. Three months late-weather, and film bookings caused the delay-the Capital Theatre is celebrating its goth anniversary.
 Only those who were here at the time can picture the gala event that that opening night
 The Capitol, previously The Palace, had been a theatre of four nadorned walls Balcony seats were benches There was an organ according to Manager of the Capitol Ted Heyder-the organ that is now ln tn Presbyterian Church-but the theatre was bare, the seats not very comfortable |. But the newly refurnished Capitol - that was something Comfortable chairs, rich, artistic decora- tions beautiful lighting effects
 And opening night Crowds of people Every seat in the house occupied at both evening performances
 That opening night impressed small boy named Ted Heyder so that when he grew up, he headed straight for the movie business
 The Capitol had been decorated by the B. F.

Senator Wherry introduced reso- lution embodying the exact terms of the MacArthur letter to Joe Martin, and let the Senate debate it-debate the bombing of Chinese bases. the landing of Chiang Kali Shek's troops on the mainland and the full probabilities and objectives of war with China.
 This is an important, vital ques- tion upon which we should have full debate. upon which the public should be fully informed. l hope such a resolution will be intro- duced.
 But do not, I urge, confuse the issue by challenging the basic principle of our constitution in re- gard to civilian rule.

Europe Watches U. s. A.

have just returned from a trip through Europe. And I can report that you cannot travel abroad these days without sensing how vital is the issue now before our country. Many European nations have been through the struggle between mili- tary and civilian rule. They have seen the elected Parliaments of Italy and Germany weaken. They have seen the people-shaken in their confidence of the Democratic system, confused by unfair debate turn to military dictatorships.
 It is out of such confusion, when nations have weak civilian leaders and strong military leaders, that Relationships spring.
 In my opinion our country today faces a most dangerous crisis. Tenn pers are running high. We do not have a strong man in the White House. We do have strong mili- tary man, who has sought to be in the White House.
 Now, it is easy to jump on ar unpopular President-as your fam fly well remembers. It is easy tC jump on him and to muddy uI public opinion with confusing is- sues-such as the so-called Ball. finger scandals which led to tho overwhelming defeat of your father and which history later proved moi to have been scandals after all. It is also easy to fool the public with a lot of phony flag waving or an issue which your father and nc other President worth his sal would have stood for-namely, per.
 mitting general to thumb hi.
 nose at the civilian branch of tht government and get away with it
 But the times today are too dan. I gerous. And it is in days such a. these, when We do not have tht most astute brains in or around 1 tlle White House, that we neee
 leadership and courage such al

 Keep us on an even keel.

Take Off the Uniform

That issue is the constitution of |the United States-which provides that, if general wants to run the government, he must take off his uniform and become civilian like the rest of us. He cannot have the |perquisites and protection of the uniform and give orders to the White House too.
 Furthermore, you cannot have a general who has been running for president and who may still have political ambitions overruling the President of the United States. That also is implicit in the con- | |stitution.
 As far as President Truman is |concerned. my personal feelings toward him are about the same as yours He has castigated me just as much as he has you. But there. is a difference between re- speet for the office of President and respect for the man. The for mer Is something which must not
 be soiled or sullied by unfair Sen - ate debate. Ana the office of Presi- dent carries with it not only the power but the obligation. under the
 constitution, to remove a general who challenges the constitution People are easily confused these
 days, but you can help to prevent their confusion. And while it might
 be popular and even healthy tc |impeach Harry Truman, do it on the grounds of corruption in his administration. There you might be on solid ground. Don't do it on Ian issue for which your father land every other President has kept |the torch of civilian government |burning-the principle that nc soldier can overrule a civilian el- |ected by the people.
 Or, if you will, impeach the President on the ground that his policy is wrong. Impeach him on khe issue of failure iI China.
 It might be healthy if you or
