Gen. Ridgwoy Far From Cheerinq
SHADOW OF Russios Armed Might Dominates Americas
Entire Political and Military Strategy in Asia
Constantine Brown:

The shadow Of Russia's mill
tary might dominates not only
the so-called cease-fire negotia-
tions at Panmunjom but our
entire political and military
strategy in Asia.
Gen. Matthew Ridgway, for
mer supreme commander in the
Far East. spoke as candidly as
his official position allowed in
an executive session of the
Armed Services Committee of
the Senate. And while many
important details Of his pres
entation are not likely to be
revealed to the public, the pic
ture OF the political and mill
tary situation of his former
command was far from cheering
to his attentive listeners.
The decision on what to do in
that theater of operation must
be made at a high political
level. More than a year ago we
could have obtained a military
decision by accepting the cal
culated risk of the U. S. S. r.
sparkling a third world war.
But we no longer have the Of
fensive capabilities which we had
last June. In the nearly II
months the cease-fire parleys
have dragged on the Muscovites
have not only vastly increased
the air and fire power of the
Chinese and North Koreans. but
they also have concentrated a
large ground and air power of
their own in Siberia.
In the late spring of last year
the Chinese armies were badly
mauled and lacked air and fire
power. Now they have a nu-
merical superiority in both over
our own. Moreover, while in
1851 the Soviet build-up was
still slow and Intervention in
the Korean war would have
been fraught with serious risks,
today the Soviet forces in ST.
IBERIA surpass ours in number,
equipment and air power.

This is the situation under

ming votes might lie in a con-
tested delegation, which makes
the credentials committee a

tor. Some experts think that
a parliamentary detail disre-
garded by all but a few pro-
fessionals might tell the story.

in the last few days with men,
bers of the French cabinet and
other high officials Of the
French government. No matter
which faction or party is ap-
preached there is the same Bit
terness over what is deemed an
American mistake which could
have serious consequences in re-
lation to European policies.
One cabinet member put 1t
this way: IF the United States
persists in its plan, France will
be compelled to call a sit-down
strike in the United Nations"
"Will this extend to other
inter-Allied committees and
functions?" he was asked. His
reply was:
If we are forced to concen-
trate our attention on Tunisia
at this critical time, we will do
so. But we will not do any,
thing else, and there are many
questions awaiting settlement
which are more important than
Tunisia."
This attitude of the French
government has been commune
Gated in strong terms to WASH
ington through the usual diplo-
matte channels. The implica-
tion is that the situation may
reach a point where no French
cabinet could press for ratifica-
ton Of a European Defense
force agreement and the rear
mament of Germany in the face
OF the record being made in the
TuniSian controversy.

government considers it has fol-
lowed an enlightened policy in
Tunisia and has made proper
concessions to the national as
pirations Of the Tunisians. The
French have offered a degree of
self-rule and a promise of COM
plete self-government at a date
in the future not yet fixed. But
the French want Tunisia to re-
main within the French union.
The moderate nationalists.
supported by the Bey Of Tunis,
want immediate self-rule, but
the extremists want complete
independence at once. These
demands have been inspired in
part by the newly won inde-
pendence Of Libya. their next
door neighbor, which was an
Italian colony before the war.
Even those French public
figures who have been critical
OF French policy in Tunisia are
angry over what they consider
United States meddling.
It's hard enough, the French
feel, to put humpty dumpty
together again in Europe with
out breaking North Africa up
into small pieces.
The episode emphasizes the
need for skillful handling by
the Department of State. For
1t is obvious that, in the Ameri-
can effort to appease the Arab
bloc so as to bring about a
Middle Eastern defense pact,
the solidarity Of the European
alliance, with a new defense
pact here hanging in the bal
ance. is being jeopardized. Ger

acceptable either by the Govern
ment or the people of the United
States: Cd A withdrawal from
Korea. This would be tanta-
mount to losing not only the
whole of Asia but also the conf
dence our Western Allies are
placing in us. It would mean
handing over the South Korean
people to the Communists on q
silver platter. (2) The ac-
ceptance in some sugar-coated
form Of the Communist demands
that all their prisoners Of war
be returned to them. This would
mean reneging on our pledges to
men who surrendered on the
basis of our assurances that they
won't be compelled to return to
the RED paradise" 1t also
would mean buying a highly
doubtful armistice at the price
of selling some 100000 indi-
viduals into slavery.
There is a third alternative
which has the best chance to be
adopted: A continuation of the
present do-nothing policy: a
continuation Of the palavers
with the Red propagandists
at Panmunjom for as long a
time as they wish to harangue
our representatives. Unpleasant
as this prospect may be, it could
be beneficial to us If in the
meantime we get busy i'm
mediately in building up our
air arm regardless of cost and
effort.
Legislators who listened care
fully to Gen. Ridgway's pres
entation reached their personal
conclusion that the Muscovites
are planning within a still-in-
definite time to strike at their
No. enemy-the United States
in Asia rather than in Europe.
In Asia. they have millions Of
Chinese for cannon fodder:
they have us at a definite
logistical disadvantage and could
reach, without any serious risk
of involving the forces Of
Western Europe, the strategic
prize Of the Pacific-Japan.

Beating Drums for Nomination
Iott Claims 4 Delegates Against 3l0 for Eisenhower
But Managers Fear An Emotional Acclaim for General

Senator Taft's managers now
claim that they have 474 dele
gates as against $40 for Gen.
Eisenhower. They will continue
to beat drums on the delegate
count. which by any listing
favors them, in an effort to
minimize the inevitable fanfare
which will accompany Gen.
Eisenhower's return here

What they fear is an emo
tional public acclaim for the
general with its effect upon
delegates uncommitted, and
even on those with instructions
for the Senator. Their strategy
is to forestall it If possible with
their story that it's practically
all over now.

which Senator Taft had a con-
siderable part-public housing,
increase in the statutory mini
mum wage, Federal aid to edu-
cation. But the House Repub-
lican leadership buried those
bills in committee and just on
the eve Of their national con-
vention. The party platform,
adopted a few days later, in
dorsed such measures, which
opened the way for President
Truman to say in effect, as he
did and often and emphatically
"You say in your platform that
you are for these things. But
in Congress, where you could
do something about them, you
killed them"
Reminiscent of that. the
House Republican leadership
was active a few days ago in
defeating amendments to the
Social Security Act which,
among other things, boosted
old-age pensions $5 a month
1t is true that the bill was hur-
ried through the Ways and
Means Committee, though the
subject long had been studied,
and came before the House
under unusal procedure that
limited debate to only an hour.
These were valid objections.
But Republicans got credit for
defeating the measure, though
some said they favored even
more liberal old-age benefits
and, furthermore, they injected
as q major argument against
the measure a patiently phony
"socialized medicine" issue.
This sort Of thing could hurt

that this is q Democratic Con-
gress at least in name. Some
how the President is able to
conjure up the picture that, so
far as the Fair Deal goes, Con-
gress is his open antagonist
and, in a campaign, such an
antagonist naturally becomes
Republican" This translation
has some verification in the
fact, now seemingly generally
known to the public, that what
stops the Fair Deal program is
a coalition of which the major
ity Of members are Republicans
and the others Southern con-
servative Democrats. From the
latter President Truman is dis
associated, not as much perhaps
by his own attitude toward their
objectiveS as by their continued
assault on him and their pub
ncly avowed enmity.
There is some political sleight-
of-hand in all of this, but the
President gets away with it
or at least has for a long time.
Since the President plans to
do some campaigning for the
Democratic ticket-as yet un-
identif1ed-this situation that
Congress has placed in his
hands certainly will be a factor
in the 1852 campaign, and one
OF which most Republicans seem
blithely unaware, as they were
four years ago.
Then he had a Republican,
controlled and Republican,
manned Congress for his target

1ty to function effectively.
There seems to be general
agreement that Representative
Joseph Martin. jr., House mi
nority leader, who has been
permanent chairman for three
conventions. can have it again
a record for one man.
The temporary chairman is a
different story. The national
committee itself decides which
OF contesting delegations shall
go on the temporary roll of the
convention. But the temporary
chairman rules whether or not
such temporary seated dele
gates can vote on the final seat

mittee brings in its recommen-
dations.

are Cne SpOCS Wnere the decisive
votes might be cast.
A Senator proposed in some
quarters for temporary chair
man says he believes the man
who gets that job will be the
most hated man at the conven-
ton. He cannot possibly satisfy
both sides in a difficult struggle
and he has, the Senator claimed,
no exact precedents to guide
him.
There can be no doubt that
Senator Taft has the tactical
advantage; the greatest re-
straint on him and his managers
will be their knowledge that the
candidate named must have the
support Of the whole party.

the enemy has no intention of
agreeing to an armistice unless
it is entirely on his own terms.
We have a sufficient force to
remain on the defensive on the
present line or somewhere close
to it. This will mean, however,
that we may have to stay in
Korea with some 100000 men,
and at a heavy cost, for an in
definite time until the Kremlin
decides what is best to further
its own interests. And Gen.
Ridgway has intimated that the
Muscovites. who are now speed
ing up their military prepara-
tionS in Asia. may be seriously
thinking of hitting Japan at the
appropriate time.
The American people have
heard for some time that over
worked cliche that our inter-
vention in Korea saved the world
from a third world war. Our
timidity and lack of initiative, at
a time when we could have
taken it. may have prepared the
scene for such q calamity to
take place across the Pacific in
stead of the Atlantic. This may
give a breathing spell to our
war-weary European Allies, but
it is not likely to be of any help
to us.
Gen. Ridgway seemed con-
vinced that we no longer can
take the offensive in Korea with
the ground and air forces avail
able at present to his successor,
Gen. Mark Clark. Hence, mill
tarily we must by necessity con-
flne ourselves to a defensive
strategy. No military man could
recommend anything else under
the existing conditions in Korea.

May Call Sit-DoWn Strike in U.N
French See Unworonted Intrusion by u S. in Tunsio;
Believe New Move Wos Fostered BY the Arob Bloc
David LdWrence:

PARIS. May 23.-Relations
between the United States and
France have suddenly assumed
q strained and rather emotional
status which could affect the
settlement Of many questions
other than the one which is the
source Of the friction-the prob
lem Of Tunisia.
When Secretary Of State
AcheSon gets here, he will find
an atmosphere Of deep tension
and resentment which has re-
suited from the announcement
that the United States may re-
verse its position and might
vote for a formal discussion Of
the Tunisian question by the
Security Council of the United
Nations.
The French government has
decided that. If the United
States insists on that course,
there may develop a sit-down
strike in the U.N. itself, with
the French withdrawing for the
time being from the Security
Council and possibly from other
U.N. agencies. 1t may perhaps
even jeopardize further dis
cussions on European matters.
This view is a reflection of
how high officials here feel
about what they believe is an
unwarranted intrusion by the
United States into French in
ternal policies - an intrusion
which they believe has been
fostered by the Arab bloc. And
there is a suspicion that Com
munist mischief makers have
made use Of a sentiment against
colonialism which, in a general
way. has been rising in the
world.
