Constantine Brown:

Gen. Omar Bradley was called
this week to testify in executive
session of the Senate Armed
Services Committee about the
rearmament of the Nationalist
forces on Formosa.
Last week Admiral Arthur
Radford. commander in chief
of the Pacific fleet. came to
Washington after a tour of the
Western Pacific which included
thorough inspection of the
Chinese Nationalist military,
naval and air establishments.
Like all other high-ranking
American officers. he was i'm
pressed with the sturdiness and
efficiency of the Nationalists who
are being trained by a large
American military mission. But
he also became aware that the
amount of equipment for which
Congress had appropriated q
definite sum was slow coming
to Formosa.
Admiral Radford is said to
have pointed out to top officials
in the Pentagon and State De-
partment that under the exist
ing complex conditions in the
Far East the present shooting
war in Korea and in Indo- China
may easily become much more
serious. The time may come
when we may be faced with a
situation in which we would
need the help of as many allies
as we can possibly get. Gen.
Bradley expressed this thought
tersely last year when he told
members of the Senate Armed
Services Committee that lin a
barroom brawl we need all the
chairs we can lay hands on"
It is doubtful that the chair
man Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
was able to give much en-
couragement to the Senators in
his latest appearance before
them.
The lag in shipping needed
tanks. artillery and planes to
the Nationalist army is no long
er caused by political-dip1o-
matte considerations in the
State Department. It is due to
the fact that we are not pro-
ducing a sufficient quantity Of
armament to meet the most es-
sential needs in priority areas"

were fighting in large part for
agriculture. Now that the So
cialistic New Deal is giving the
farmer social security in the
form of price supports, he is
sending conservatives to Wash
ington. OF course he takes care
that they understand the farm
problem.
1t is a fair guess that in pro-
neuncing himself liberal, Gen.
Eisenhower is reverting to this
background. He is sincere in
thinking he is not a Democrat
or New Dealer; he means he be-
longs to the progressive faction
of the Republican Party as he
knew it.
Perhaps nothing proves SO
thoroughly that the general did
keep out of politics during his
military service. Certainly what
his recent utterances show is
very moderate understanding of
the social revolution Of the
Roosevelt era including its i'm
pact upon the two parties.

to increase substantially the
quantity of tanks, airplanes and
artillery to the French and

fighting the Reds in Indo-
China.
The European rearmament

at home the ranking military
men are concerned over the
inadequacy of our air defense.
The strike in the steel in
dustry makes the situation even
more difficult. Most of the fac
tories which have important
orders from the Pentagon have
slowed down their production.
Two important plants in Mich
igan, one manufacturing ba-
zookas and the other three
quarter-ton trucks, have shut
down for lack of steel. Un-
less the steel strike ends very
shortly more will close within
the next 10 days.

waiting for the end of the strike
before he starts fighting again.

Reverts to Kansas Backqround
Eisenhower Reflects Liberal Versus Conservative Fight
Between Republican Factions of Midwest States

In 1948 when Jake Arvey and
others were openly planning to
make Gen. Eisenhower the DEM
ocratic nominee for President,
it occurred to some Of the more
thoughtful New Dealers that it
would be nice to have some idea
of the generals views on public
affairs.
BY accident or design, John
Gunther. the famous journalist,
was in Washington and had had
a long visit with the general at
the Pentagon. Learning this,
various old friends sought him
out for a fill-in on Inside Ike.
Gen. Eisenhower is a liberal"
Mr.. Gunther told them. "but he
is an ignorant liberal"
This evaluation, widely circu-
lated where it would do the
most good, suited Mr.. Arvey, the
New York Democratic leaders,
James Roosevelt of California
and assorted New Dealers well
enough. They figured they could
fill in the background. and in
deed were rather looking for
ward to it.
However, while the Army had
got the boy out of Kansas, it
could not get the Kansas out Of
the boy. Gen. Eisenhower, at
the peak of his physical powers
and prestige, rebuffed an excel
lent chance at the presidency
from the party persistently in
the minority in his native State.
Kansans were no more sur
prised than they would be to
find q Georgian was a Demo-
crat.
The one-party States of the
Midwest are Republican. 1t is
not so hide-bound or emo
tional on ancestral heritage as
the Democrat fealty of the
South but to a great extent the
conservative versus liberal fight
occurs in the Midwest between
Republican factions.
What makes a liberal out of a
Midwesterner is poor prices for

Bellwethered by the now pros
porous Midwest, the Republican
Party has grown increasingly
conservative as Mr.. Roosevelt
and then MIR. Truman drove the
Democrats to the left. It is a
process which tends to stratify
both parties and many people
regret it but it exists.

of political and economic cur
rents. It's not surprising to find
this after two world wars of
devastating proportions. The
wonder is that there has been
as much recovery and recon-
struction as appear on the sur
face today. It is not a situation,
however, over which America
need become discouraged. It is
important, of course, to paint
the true picture so that the
nature of the job can be under
stood-so that impatience will
not lead to abandonment of
the very policies Of moral and
material support which the
United States alone is capable
Of giving to a distraught Eu-
rope. AS between high taxes in
America, less profits and other
sacrifices of a material nature,
and another world war, it can
hardly be doubted what the vast
majority of the American
people would choose when the
alternatives are fully ex-
planned to them.
But an objective view Of
Europe and its problems, so
necessary to an understanding
of what policies are desirable for
the United States to pursue.
cannot be projected into the
American political situation to-
day. Most Europeans are re-
signed to the fact that only after
the American presidential elec-
tions are over and a new Presi-
dent has been chosen can the
physical power and moral force
of the United States be chan
neled into the European prob
lem in a renewed effort to
maintain the peace of the
European continent-and that
means. of course, peace or war
for the American people, too.
Peace in Europe doesn't de.
pend solely on Stains mis-
behavior. It depends more on
the rapidity with which the
democracies can recover their
own economic strength, restore
their own morale as individual
nations, and. above all, rebuild
faith and confidence in them
selves.

David Lowrence:

EN- ROUTE FROM EUROPE,
June 20.-What the bombs de-
stroyed-the buildings and
homes-is slowly but surely be-
ing replaced in Western Europe
by new structures better than
the old ones. But what isn't be-
ing replaced is the morale Of
the people. Recovery is slow.
while disillusionment and loss
of faith keep the populace in
most of the free countries in a
state of stunned fear.
Fear of another war influ-
ences every thought in gov
ernment and keeps the people
worried and anxious. Paciflsm
never had more adherents than
it has today in Europe and, no
matter how bold the phrases
of government leaders in the
parliaments c. Europe, they
know in their hearts that their
opponents can make political
capital any day by appealing
to sentiments of peace that
amount virtually to pacifiSm.
Time and the growth of new
generations to military age may
change all this, but it cannot
be denied that conscription is
unpopular and that rearmament
against any potential enemy IS
viewed with alarmS
Parallel with this attitude to-
ward defensive armies is an
other residue of the war-a loss
Of faith in businessmen and q
tendency to look with suspicion
on them as selfish interests
which in some countries backed
dictators and stupidity helped to
bring on wars.
Businessmen in all the free
countries are under a heavier
load of restriction than any
American can imagine. But
many Of the businessmen are
not forward-looking and have
given the Socialists plenty of
ammunition through their back
wardness on the subject of
wages and working conditions.
Profits at times in the past
have gone to fantastic heights
as wages have been kept low.
Taxation in Britain is high for
