Communist had it not been for

condemns the Marshall Plan
and Senator Taft would abolish
ECA.
We can never subscribe to a
backyard defense of our country
and our homes, says Senator
SaltonStall. We can defend the
United States more effectively
on Cape Cod than in Europe,
says Senator Taft. Cape Cod
is right in Senator Saltonstalls S
personal backyard.
So we find the Loyal Oppo-
sition performing it's proper
function, furnishing sound, con-
structive criticism of the ad-
ministration in Office and pre-

Communist guerrillas to capture
Greece.
The exception has been the
war in Korea. where Chinese
Communist armies have come
to the aid of the North Koreans,
juStifying their intervention, of
course, on the ground of a pre-
viouS intervention in behalf of
South Korea by Western armies.
But the war there also started
as a civil war.
To plan effective interven-
tion in civil wars is practically
outside the scope of conventional
military thinking-and, psy-
chologically, external military
intervention has dubious re-
suits.
The prime problem, therefore,
in containing communism is
not military. 1t is political.
1t is to avoid or overcome the
conditions which make civil
war likely.
The condition most favorable
to civil wal is the division of
a nation into two states-aS was
the case in Korea, and is the
case with Germany. When one
or both such incongruous states
are armed, the stage is set for
the typical pattern of Com
muniSt civil war, in behalf Of
national unity.
That is why the extraordinary
Western reluctance to give Ger
man unif1cation top priority
instead of West German integra-
tion into Europe-has always
baff1ed this column.

months. is a wholly construc-
tive political act. 1t has startled
the East German government,
and put it on the defensive.
The East German government
must now be kept on the de-
fensive, by unremitting psyche
logical pressures. If the East
German people have any doubts
about it they should be told
continually that their govern
ment of imported traitors is
planning to lead Germans
against Germans in bloody strife,
appealing to patriotism to sab
otage such a cynical atrocity,
which would turn Germany into
a second Korea.
The Western governments
should not ignore or postpone
responding to the appeal from
Bonn. They must unqual;fiedly
declare acceptance of any all
German government achieved
by uncoerced representative
means, and willingness to make
peace with it. They must back
up the psychological offensive
and aid the West Germans to
keep the initiative. Psycholog-
ically it is more effective for
the West Germans to assert
that they will not arm to fight
fellow Germans-and to call
for an alderman government
to end that possibility-than to
counter one wicked scheme with
another. 1t is, in my belief,
possible to make it morally and
psychologically very difficult for
the East Germans to find q bat
tie cry.
What must be better foiled are
not Russion armies, as yet, but
Russian political warfare.

Dawson Firm Mentioned
In Gen. Voughon's Letter
BY the Assoeioied Press

House investigators are seeking
to determine whether George Daw-
son, mysterious Briton named as
the "ringleader" in fabulous sur
plus property deals, is the same
George Dawson indirectly aided
in 1948 by Maj. Gen. Harry
Vaughan, White House military
aide.
Representative Bonner, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, chairman
OF a House expenditures subcom-
mittee, has tagged the Britisher
as the kingpin in operations
whereby massive quantities of
United States military surplus
have been bought up in Europe
and shipped all over the world to
be sold at fancy prices. Some of
1t was sold back to the United
States Government. Representa-

1t developed yesterday that the
name of a George Dawson had
figured in the 1949 "five-percenter''
probe in which Gen. Vaughan was
brought on the carpet.
Letter Introduced.
At that time Senate investiga-
tors introduced a letter which Gen.
Vaughan had written in 1948 to
Gen. Clyde Hyssong. an Army
officer then on duty in Europe.
The letter read:
MY Dear Gen. Hyssong:
This will introduce my good
friend, John Maragon, who is rep
resenting George Dawson & Co.,
and who is interested in purchas-
ing materials from the foreign
liquidation service. Any assistance
that you may be able to render
to Mr.. Maragon will be greatly
appreciated by me-"
. Gen. Vaughan, called to the
stand later. said he did not know
anything about Dawson or his
company, but was merely doing
Maragon a favor.
Maragon later was convicted of
perjury in the five percenter in
vestigation-which was a probe
of persons who offered to get
Government contracts for a fee.
He was sentenced to serve eight
months to two years in prison.

'U.N Commanders See
|ChanceofkoreaPeace
Whi|eAIIiesH Hold Edge
By the Associofed Press

TOKYO, Mar. 17.-United Ma
tions commanders generally feel
that Allied diplomats now have
their first important chance since
November to win an acceptable
peace in Korea.
But. in their view it is only a
chance. It depends on the pos
sibility-but no concrete evidence
that Peiping and the Kremlin
might be ready to quit.
The results of the current Of
fensive have given the Allies a
temporary advantage. The Chi
Inese have lost some of their best
troops among an estimated 172,-
900 ground action casualties.
U. N. forces have proved they
cannot be driven off the peninsula
except by greater masses than the
Reds have used.
Allies Now Hold Advantage.
For the first time since the
Chinese struck in late November.
.rescuing the beaten North Korean
army, the Allies hold the advan-
tage.
Gen. Macarthur emphasized
yesterday, however. that the
Communists have suffered no de-
cisive defeat" They withdrew
from Seoul and parallel positions
in good order.
The Communists. therefore,
would be ready to reach an ac-
ceptable peace at this time only
if they decided additional blood
letting wasn't worth the effort.
Military men believe this pos
sibility is worth exploring.
The Allied advantage may de-
crease in the next few weeks.
These are some of the reasons:
/. Allied forces are operating
about as far north as they can.
with present strength, and still
keep their voracious guns and
tanks supplied.
2. The Chinese are apt to be
more willing to talk sense in pro-
portion to their losses and less
likely during a relatively quiet
|stalemate.
3. Winter, a U. N. ally, is about
over. Communist losses from
|frostbite and exposure will de-
crease.
Next Chinese Step Uncertain.
No one apparently knows how
the Chinese will fight the next
stage of the campaign.
If they attack with full force,
as has been predicted. they might
push the Allies back. But, in
turn, they would continue their
own astronomical losses.
In that case, if the Communists
refuse a peace offer now, they
might be more willing to talk after
their next beating.
But the Reds might also pull
back beyond effective Allied range.
They thus could sharply reduce
their losses, regroup for future
offensives and pin down vast Allied
power.

Dorothy Thompson:
Russian Political Warfare
Communistic Movement Cannot Be Checked
.. BY Conventional Military Means

The action of the Supreme
Soviet in banning from the
Soviet Union all advocacy of
propaganda for war will not
check the Soviet press campaign
against the United States and
the West. 1t is, indeed, part of
the campaign to put the West
in the role of warmongers.
Nor does it mean that Soviet
intentions are peaceful. Com
munism has never been peace
loving movement. But it is not
a movement easily checked by
conventional military means.
In fact, though military plan
nerS can prepare for the de-
tense of specific areas against
external attacks. to plan to con-
tain communism would. I
should think, battle any general
staff.
For communism, though it
has hitherto. and with one
single exception (Czecho-
slovakia) advanced to the con-
troll of nations only by war, it
has not advanced by conven-
tional international war.
The military instrument of
communism is civil war, or war
within a war: Wars by armies
Of the nationals of the state
contended for: the Bolshevik
armies in Russia fighting White
armies; Communist partisans in
Yugoslavia fighting Chetniks;
Russian-based Polish legions

observers and particularly mill
tary men are more worried about
a new Soviet peace offensive
than the present cold war in
Europe. A mere smile from
Stain would cause the collapse
of all the rearmament plans
in Western Europe and slow
down even those in this country.
Meanwhile. the Red armies
could improve greatly their
technical equipment, which is
believed to be still deficient for
a successful military campaign.
These political considerations
have had the practical result of
freezing" Western policy toward
Western Germany. And that
policy will remain frozen for
some time. American and
British military planners are not
particularly happy over the
situation, because it means
another long delay in organiz-
ing additional forces for West
ern European defense.
They recall that the German
army was literally pulverized
and any effort to rearm a por-
ton of the At million Germans
as a military force must start
from scratch. The mere organi-
zation of a force, even if it
did not total more than 10 divi-
sions. would require the crea-
ton of commissioned and nom
commissioned officer cadres and
the training of men in all phases
of military life. That takes
time, and time may be very
precious if the Reds decide to
change the cold war into a hot
one.

Lowell MeHett::

What this country needs to-
day, according to Republican
Chairman Guy Gabrielson, is
a definite foreign policy and,
he says, his party has got it.
The chairman doesn't do his
party justice. 1t not only has
one definite foreign policy; it
has several. The idea seems to
be that, if one definite foreign
policy is good. several definite
foreign policies are better.
Former President Hoover says
we should send no divisions to
Europe. Former candidates
Dewey and Stassen say we
should send as many as Gen.
Eisenhower requires. Senator
Saltonstall goes along with that.
Senators Taft, KEN and
Wherry say we should send
no more than six divisions or
20 percent of our total or 10
percent of the European total.
Senator Taft says the line
against communism can be
held without the six divisions.
Mr.. Hoover says it cannot be
held even with the six divisions.
Senator Duff says there should
be no political interference with
the military judgment. Sena-
tor Taft says the sending Of
troops without Congressional
approval would put dent in
the Constitution. Governor Warrer
says Stain would be happy to
know we wouldn't send any
without first debating the mat
ter in Congress.
Senator Taft finds Gen. Els
enhower's first report hazy and
indefinite. Senator Saltonstall
finds it crystal clear.
Sending four more divisions
over would lead to land war
with Russia and the massacre
of American boys, Mr.. Hoover
thinks. Failing to do so with
Congressional APPROVAL would
be a blow to European morale,
in Senator Taft's opinion.
Senator Taft says a three
man army is big enough
Should have 100 divisions, says
Gov. Dewey. That's six million
men, says Speaker Martin.

Constantine Brown:

Western European rearma-

stage.
France, the pivot of the West
ern defense system, is trying to
straighten out it's domestic po-
litical problems. The new cabi-
net of Henri Queuille is a stop
gap administration. entrusted
specifically with preparations
for the next general election,
which will be held sometime
between June and November.
American observers in Paris
do not believe that the new
French government, although
composed Of the same members
as that of Rene Pleven, will be
able to do much in regard to re-
armament. Until the new cleo
ton has decided the shape of
political things to come, France
cannot expand substantially a
military program which involves
the drafting of tens of thou
sands of men.
Because of the temporary
character of the government the
question of German rearma-
ment also must be kept on the
shelf. The question of associat-
ing a future German army with
the defense of Western Europe
is, as Gen. Eisenhower testified
in Washington last month, more
a political than a military mat
ter.
The whole thing depends on
the willingness of the Western
Germans to join US and this
willingness depends, in turn, on

that it was the duty of those
powers which were responsible
for the creation of Israel to see
that the. Jewish state abided by
U. N. resolutions. DR.. Jamali
further declared that the U. Ms
decision on Israel's creation was
unbelievable, coming as it did
from an organization designed to
protect human rights.
