Constantine Brown:

The chances Of stopping the
Communist aggressions in Asia
by each of the individual ma
tions involved are very slim
indeed. But a cohesive policy
in which America, Britain and
France would work hand in
glove in a realistic manner could
give the free world a better OPP
portunity to at least slow down
the Muscovite plans for con-
quering much of Asia by force.
This at least is the view of
the professional soldiers. It
was forcefully expressed by Gen.
Alphonse JUN when he visited
Washington last winter to dis
cuss an increased American
participation in the war in
o-China; it was said to be
shared by Britain's defense min
lister, Field Marshal ViScount
Alexander, In his conversations
with Gen. Mark Clark last week
in Tokyo and finally was touch
ed on yesterday in Washington
during M. Jean Letourneau's
discussion of the Indo-China
situation with our top diplo-
matte and military leaders.
The action in Korea is on the
surface a United Nations oper-
alton. But in fact it is a 80 per
cent American effort controlled
on the political level by WASH
ington. London and Paris diplo-
mats. No important military
decision can be taken by the
Supreme Commander without
being first approved on the polit-
ical level by the three major
governments.
Armistice conversations have
been carried on for a year with
the result that at present they
have been transformed into
propaganda harangues by the
c ON m uniSt representatives.
They no longer even mention
the cease-fire which is supposed
to be the objective Of the Pam
munjom meetings. The stale
mate in Korea may last indefi-

Taft Campaign Dealt Blow, Too
Defeat OF Brewster in Maine EIevotes Margaret Chase Smith
To Senior Senator With Increased Power and Prestoe

are Democrats and vote in
Democratic primaries.
The defeat of so prominent
a Taft supporter is, to say the
least, untimely for the Senator
from Ohio, who comedies that
his greatest handicap rests in
three simple words: He can't
win.
The blow is somewhat cush-
ioned for the Taft forces by the
forewarning they got when
Senator Brewster failed to de-
liver Maine in a neat package
to the Taft convention army.
The State split between the SEN
ator from Ohio and the general.
Throughout the troubled
years when Senator Brewster
made her life difficult, Senator
Smith maintained her dignity
and observed the proprieties, so
much so that one Senator Tues
day observed. Blessed are the
meek for they shall inherit the
earth" Mrs. Smith is not exactly
meek, but SO long as the domi-
nant Taft leadership permitted
Senator's Brewster and Nc.
Carthy to have their way, she
had no recourse but to bide her
time. She stood aloof from the
primary, nor has she openly
supported Gen. Eisenhower.
AS for the interests for whom
Senator Brewster lobbied so
openly. the situation was de-
scribed in press gallery joke
as: THE flag is flying at half
mast over the Spanish Embassy
and Pan-American Anyways"

Doris FIeeson:

Senator Brewster has been
retired by the State of Maine.
and to say that he will be
much missed is not neces-
sarily tribute to his popularity.
Mr.. Brewster was a busy fell
low who never spared his con-
siderable energies to make the
world a better place for himself
and his friends and a sink of
torment for all who had the bad
taste to disagree with him.
Neither criticism nor COM
plants nor embarrassing mo-
ments, of which he had plenty,
stayed him from the swift COM
pletion of his appointed rounds.
Nor could he easily be brushed
off. AS fifth ranking Republi-
can he had that Senate senior
1ty which here equals power,
and he was an eager lieutenant
OF the Taft leadership.
The practical effect most uni
versally gratifying is that the
Brewster defeat elevates Sem
ator Margaret Chase Smith to
senior Senator with increased
power and prestige.
Senator Brewster never en-
joyed having the only woman
colleague, both because she got
so much publicity and because
she took a more progressive
stand. Mrs. Smiths views, espe-
cially her famous Declaration of
Conscience in which she at
tackled both administration
whitewash and Mccarthy meth
odS, gave Maine a standard Of
comparison. It was the harder
to combat since New England
Republicans generally share her
views, not Brewster's.
Gov. Payne, the successful
candidate in the Republican
primary which is the equiva-
lent of election, is for Gen.
Eisenhower for President, while
Brewster is for Taft. Maine dis
patches say this was not an
issue in the campaign.
Nevertheless. in Brewster the
Taft forces lose a vigorous sup
porter who stated positively that
the Taft-Hartley Act was the
issue Of his campaign. Labor
leaders, admittedly delighted by
Brewster'S defeat, declare that
labor was not an issue in Maine.
Their people. they say firmly,

ward preventing any of these
materials from. reaching the
Iron Curtain areas.
6. The establishment of a
worldwide inspection system to
determine If ships of any ma
tionality are engaged in fraudu-
lent or conspiratorial transac-
tions. International inspection
would be carried on by desig-
mated allied officers at the Pam
anna Canal, the Suez Canal and
at the approaches to any ports
where it was suspected that
fraudulent cargoes were being
sent. While this approximates
a blockade" it need not re-
semble it any more than the
Communist inspection systems
which stop everything at the
borders of such countries as Po-
land. Czechoslovakia, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Rumania-with all of
whom the United States and the
other Western countries are at
peace and not involved in q
"state of war"
Z. Such a worldwide system
of inspection would entail lots
of red tape-RuSSian Style-and
American and British and
French officials who have
watched the intermittent Berlin
blockades probably are well
versed in such obstructive tao
tics as would be necessary to
seal off iron curtain countries.
just as Russia today is already
sealing off East Germany and
the satellites.
8. Certain exceptions to the
shipment of goods to iron cur
tain countries could be made
that is, for example, munitions
needed by freedom loving ele-
ments ready to begin under
ground movements of resistance
and liberation on their own
initiative.
The entire plan envisages
something dynamic instead of a
futile policy of endless waiting.
It wouldn't be expensive in a
relative sense, because, if it
brought Russia to terms, it
would actually cut down pres
ent-day budgets. It would have
to be a severe policy and with it
rearmanent. of course, would
have to 60 on. The plan will be
assailed as a possible provocation
to Russia to go to war, but the
Soviets have been given enough
provocation in the formation of
the NATO alliance and the Eu-
ropean defense army, and there
is less risk in a bold economic
strategy than in a policy resting
solely on a military threat. It is
a plan that provides a counter
strategy, and at present the
Western powers offer little of
that except threats of war. A
third world war can be prevent
ed by economic measures if the
will to prevent a large-scale war
and to make big sacrifices are
seriously manifested by the peo-
pies of all the Allied countries.

Reds supported and directed by

are waging independently cost

There is no military cohesion

VINO is directed from the Krem-

The average individual cannot
fathom the deep and tortuous
diplomatic reasons which pro-
duce such a situation in Asia.
But it is certain that during the
last war we would have come
nowhere near victory if each
individual partner in the al
lance against the Axis had been
operating on his, own as is the
= case now in the Far East.
If the military had their
own way they would recommend
a drastic change in the diplo-
matte policies of the Allies who
may be faced with a disaster in
Asia. They would recommend
first Of all a blockade of the
entire China Coast as stringent
and effective as the one imposed
on Germany, Italy and Japan
during the last war. At present
there is more trade between our
allies, particularly Britain, and
the Reds than existed before
the outbreak of hostilities in
Korea in June, 1850.

large consignments of vital
strategic materials which are

Dovid Lawrence:
All the Cards Favor Moscow
Reds Have Everything CAIN Nothing Lose by Strategy
Of Hurussnent and Inftruon of Democratic
Dovid Lawrence:

EN- ROUTE FROM EUROPE,
June 18.-Any one who stops to
think about what Soviet Russia
Is doing today in Europe can't
help coming to the conclusion
that the Communists have
everything to gain and nothing
to lose by their strategy of ha-
raSsment and infiltration of the
democratic countries. The only
threat they face will never be
used against them unless they
attack-it's the threat of large
scale war with atom bombs.
In the meantime, every bit
of leverage, all the bargaining
power and all the cards are IN
favor Of the Moscow regime,
and the astonishing fact is that
the Western Allies have de-
veloped no counter-strategy ex-
cept that of military rearma-
ment.
This is not to say armament
isn't essential-for it is. But it
can also be said that a mere
threat to use military force has
not prevented and will not pre-
vent Communist Russia from
pursuing her present tactics.
She knows full we'll that an Of
fensive war or a preventive war
will never be started against
her. and she will be careful not
to provoke one, either.
So what the Allies have today
IS a policy that keeps piling up
the expense of armament and
economic aid and runs the risk
of creating hopelessness and
Illustration everywhere because
it is aimleSs. Any policy that
merely seeks to wait out" the
prolonged period of tension is
equivalent to defeatism. For,
in such long period of time,
the Communists can gain ground
they can bring about disin-
tegration on the political and
economic fronts.
An alternative, policy with
teeth in it-and yet not war
Is essential as a counter-Strat-
egy. 1t is needed as a leverage.
Here is a plan that is suggested
as a basis for American and Al
lied policy:
l. European peoples-and that
means primarily West Germany,
France, Italy and Great Brit
ain-are obsessed with the no
ton that the West can "nego-
tiate" way out of the present
dilemma by some kind of con-
ference with Soviet Russia
either at the foreign minister
level or through heads of states.
This sentiment cannot be
brushed aside in Washington as
irrelevant. nor can it be an
SWered by pointing to the long
drawn-out talks at Panmunjom
as an example of what happens
when one "negotiates" with the
Communists. A four-power con-
ference with Russia, therefore,
is essential if only to DEM
onstrate once and for all that
the Communists are not sincere
or to give them a real oppor-
D. tunity to make an agreement if
they are sincere.

Slim Chance to Stop Reds in Asia
But Firm Cohesive Policy Among Britain France and America

ships in Hong Kong and other
ports in the South Pacific and
Indian Ocean. The Allied fleets
in the Pacific are powerful
enough to meet any threat from
either Soviet submarines or
from any attacks from the Red
land bases.
Second, the military would
recommend harmonizing the Al.
lied strategy in the way it was
harmonized during the last war.
There should Be one front ex-
tending from the East Coast Of
Korea down to the tip of the
Malay Peninsula. The Allies
have a force of some 600, 900
ground troops in the whole area.
There are ASiatic nations
which would be glad to join ef-
forts. if permitted to do so. The
Nationalist Army on Formosa
representing some 100000 men
would become fully effective If
it were provided with the neces-
sary hardware. At present only
10 per cent of this anti-Com-
muniSt force is combat ready.
The Siamese government could
be brought into the fight also.
1t has a contingent in Korea
now. But it is not being en-
couraged to take strong posi-
ton against the Communists.
Siam is still haven for the
Communist guerrillas who are
fighting the British in Malaga.
The Burmese also would re-
quire only little encouragement
to join in an effort against the
Reds in a portion of China
where the Communist hold is
very weak.
Aggression can be answered
only by an effective counter
offensive in which calculated
risks must be taken. A CO.
hesive action by the three West
ern nations supported by the
still free anti-Communist ma
tions in Eastern Asia could
break the present deadlock and
force the U. S. S. R. either to put
up or shut up.

2. All conferences with Rus
sia in the last several years
have been entered into by the
Western Allies without any
leverage except the threat of
military force to be used at some
far-distant date. This doesn't
scare the Russians because they
know that it will be years be-
fore the European defense army
or the NATO forces are organ
lied adequately for defense and
that, besides, they will never be
used to enforce agreements on
diplomatic questions.
3. The need for a counter
strategy that has in it a power
full leverage is paramount. Such
a counter-operation should be
planned. and its major purposes
made public coincidentally with
the Summoning of a four-power
conference so that, if the con-
ference fails. Russia will know
that the plan would go into
effect.
4. The plan would require
Allied solidarity and a pooling
of economic and financial re-
sources in much the same way
as was accomplished during
World War II. AS a first step,
a co-ordinated international
board should be authorized to
buy up East-West trade, so
that not a ton of goods or mer-
chandise Of any kind would 60
to any Iron Curtain countries,
whether the items are strategic
or non-Strategic. To such coun-
tries as Sweden and Finland or
Switzerland. which have more
or less direct access to Iron Cur
tain countries, the same rules
against reshipment as prevailed
in World War II would be put
into effect. No producers in the
Western countries would lose
money, as all surplus production
normally destined for Iron Cur
tain countries would be bought
up by the pool. It is estimated
that only billion dollars a year
is needed to finance this phase
of the plan. Surpluses could be
resold at low prices in point
four" countries. so that some Of
the subsidy money could be re-
covered. If products like timber
needed by Britain are normally
too expensive to transport from
Canada or the United States,
the international agency set up
for the purpose of prohibiting
East-West trade should pay
the necessary subsidy to enable
Britain to avoid buying timber
from Russia.
S. The Western countries
would form a pool to buy up all
the raw materials in the world,
including rubber. tin. copper
and other essential products,
and arrange to pay a stabilized
price for a period of about
three years. Stockpiles for war
now need such materials. AL
location of raw materials would
be with an eye toward strength
