dropped some broad hints that
certain Democrats could easily
be embarrassed II things went
on as at present.
Few people here believe that
the Senate would vote to un-
seat Mr.. Mccarthy. especially
since the people Of Wisconsin
get chance to pass judgment
on him this fall. For Senators.
to vote against investigation Of
concrete charges against him
is another matter.
AS always, the particular in
terest In q Mccarthy showdown
lies in what the leading Repub-
lican candidate for President,
Senator Taft. will do. After
some zigzagging. Senator Taft
has embraced his colleague
in Mr.. McCarthy's home State
Of Wisconsin.
Asked by a Senator how this
squared with his respect for
due process Of law. Senator Taft
said that both Herbert Hoover
and Gen. Macarthur had adj
vised him to stand with Sena-
tor Mccarthy. Senator Ferguson
is also reported to have coun-
selled. the Senator from Ohio
that Mccarthy is q hero In
Michigan and therefore it is
unsafe politically to reject him.
Senator Taft has on other
occasions impatiently insisted
to critics on this issue that Sen.
ator Mccarthy was not im-
portant.

Lottinore's Powerful Influence
Not Architect He Was One Of the Most Active Brickoyers
In Shaping Of Diplomatic Strategy in the Far East
Constantine Brown:

Prof. Owen baltimore may not
have been the architect" Of
our policies in the Far East,
which have resulted In some
$50, ,00O. 900 people being thrown
into the arms Of the y. S. s. r..
but he was certainly at least
one Of the most important and
active bricklayers.
Under close ,cross-examination
by counsel and members Of the
McCarran committee the Johns
Hopkins University professor
admitted q number Of facts
which. when put together. form
q definite pattern showing the
powerful influence he exercised
in shaping Of the administers
tion's Far Eastern diplomatic
strategy.
Toward the end of the war,
on his own admission. he be-
came worried over the ham
ding Of the Chinese situation by
responsible officials In the State
Department. These officials
were Undersecretary Of State
Joseph Grew and his principal
adviser. the veteran State De-
partment official, Eugene Doo-
man. They were supposed not
to understand the conditions in
China since they knew Japan
best. Mr.. baltimore sought to
remedy the situation. During
the Tydings investigations in
1850 he testified under oath that
he was only q scholar interested
in writing about the Far East
and had nothing to do with
Government policies. This week.
again under oath, he admitted
that he visited President Tru-
man in June, 1945, and sub
mitted to him two memoranda
setting forth his ideas about how
to deal with the Chinese prob.
lens and suggesting a house
cleaning in the Far Eastern
policy-making personnel Of the,
State Department.
Prof. baltimore presented
Mr.. Truman with two alterna-
tives, but urged that we help
with arms and other supplies
the Chinese Communists under
Mao Use Tung. He also urged
a coalition between the Yenan
(Communist) and the Chung
king (Nationalist) governments.
These recommendations to the
Chief Executive were made q
few weeks before Mr.. Truman
and his political advisers went

this became impossible, our Gov.
ernment washed its hands and
for 16 months we cut OF the
fiow Of military supplies to Chi
ang Kai-shek.
Mr.. baltimore stated that he
was ignorant Of the new ''line"
given the Communists In this
country at the meeting In New
York. This cline" also was deal.
ing with what America should
do In China. The results Of this
nleetlng were published shortly
before the Baltimore professor
presented his. memoranda per-
Sonally to Mr.. Truman. BY the
same chain Of remarkable CO.
incidences they contained much
Of the same thinking.
And finally, the letter Of trans
initial Of the White Book on
China signed by Secretary Ache
son in August. 1899, again fol-
lowed many Of MIR. Lattimore's
political recipes.
1t may be pure coincidence
that over o period Of five years
the policies adopted by the
State Department in the Far
East were so closely aligned with
the strong views Of Mr.. Latti-
more.
The members of the McCarran
subcommittee want to find out
why Mr.. baltimore testified in
the past that he had only q
scholarly interest in the Far
East and never attempted to
influence directly the policies Of
the administration. Now he has
admitted that he called on Mr..
Truman in the hope Of influence
ing the Governments policies
along his line Of thinking. Mr..
Lattimore's statement that he
had utterly failed is not sup
ported by the fact that nearly
everything he had advocated
became our national policy.

debtor to the tune of $35 million,
was too much.
The cloakrooms have it that
the subcommittee knew also
that pressure involving their
personal affairs was being put
on members Of its staff by Sena-
tor Mccarthy and had been
looking for q way to protect
them.
In any case, the subcommittee
voted 4 to to seek a Senate
"vote Of confidence" in its in
quiry. Technically The motion
still must tour the full Rules
Committee. The subcommittee,
however, Is determined on q
showdown and says grimly it
will get it.
That the prospect is displeas-
ing to Senator Mccarthy was
evident when his friend on the
subcommittee, Senator Welker
Of Idaho, fought the motion
bitterly. Senator Welker proved
no mean hand at personal in
situations himself but In the
end cast the lone nay.
Another Mccarthy offensive
was promptly taken against
Undersecretary Of the Treasury
Foley. It was advertised by the
Senator as q demand for Mr..
Foley to explain his interfer-
ence with the Bureau Of Inter-
nal Revenue In q brief ses-
sion Mr.. Foley managed to sat-
isfy the committee but not
until after Senator Mccarthy

Doyid Lowrence;

Maybe $7.9 billion is the
right amount Of foreign aid
that Congress should appropri-
ate, and maybe it should be
half that sum, or maybe some
other figure. The very fact
that the Congress. including
many members Of the admins
tration's own party. do not have
confidence in the judgment Of
the President or the Secretary
Of State is proof Of the tragic
atmosphere in which the Ma
tion's foreign policy is being
conducted.
High taxes are, Of course,
resented and Mr.. Truman need
not have referred to the pro-
posals to cut the foreign-aid
program as being merely an
election-year phenomenon. For
there Is q growing antagoniSm to
all foreign aid. not only this
year but next year, and this is
SO serious that Mr.. Truman will
make a grave mistake If he
ascribes it either to party poll
tics or to q failure Of the Ameri-
can people to understand the
seriousness Of the issues In
volved.
Mr.. Truman did reveal a GER
tain awareness of the depth Of
nti-foreign feeling when he
endeavored to show how "gal-
lantly" Great Britain has been
fighting in Malaga, and France
In Tndo-C China. But the truth
Is there is no enthusiasm for
Allied solidarity as such because
scarcely a day goes by that the
American policy is not con-
demned in various parts Of the
world as an attempt to buy good
will with money. American
motives are being questioned.
The American people are be-
wildered by the administrations

to PotSdam where the imple-
mentation of the Yalta agree
ments was decided.
Although Mr.. baltimore stated
! that his recommendations did
not make the slightest impress
sion" on the President. by q
remarkable coincidence all his
views were adopted later as the
basic American policy in the Far
East. Within two months after
his interview at the White
House. Messrs. Grew and Doo-
man resigned Dean Acheson
took Mr.. Crews place and John
Carter Vincent that Of Mr..
Dooman. Soon after V-J day.
American UNRRA supplies were
sent to the Communist -don1i-
mated portions Of China.
The conflict between Yenan
and Chungking increased after
WI day and President Truman
Sent Gen. Marshall as his special
representative to China to try
to bring about an understanding
between the Communists and
the Nationalists. It was again q
strange coincidence that the in->
structionS given to the special
ambassador were very much in
line with Mr.. Lattimore's think
ing. The fact that Mr.. Vincent.
q close friend of Mr.. baltimore.
had become in August, 1945, the
chief Of the Division Of Far
Eastern Affairs and had a hand
in preparation of these inStruc-
tions may again be purely CO.
Incidental.
The failure Of Gen. Marshall's
mission Is well known. It may
be that in the confusion Of
thinking which followed the last
war our policy makers could
not realize that only an imme-
diate suppression of Communists
in China could have maintained
that country friendly to the
West. This was, however, total

baltimore. who strongly advo-

world are Fundamentally sup
porting.
The weakness in the admins
tration's appeal and the reason
it does not carry conviction is
that the policies Of France and
Britain have not been such as
to inspire enthusiasm on this
side Of the Atlantic. Neither Mr..
Truman nor MFR. .Acheson Is to
blame for the policies pursued
by our Allies. though it win be
said that perhaps the American
position. especially just before
Britain told America Of her in-
tention to recognize Red China,
was not forthrightly presented.
No matter what has happened,
however. In the past. the net
result now is that foreign policy
is not q bipartisan affair in the
United States any more than it
Is at present in Britain. and the
difhculties Of the United States
in carrying on any sort Of leader
ship In the face Of the dissen-
sion inside the dcmocracies are
so great that they cannot be
ignored much longer.
More important than the re-
quest for the $7.9 billion is the
necessity for building q better
partnership between political
factions inside Britain and in
side America and between the
two English-speaking countries
as o whole. For the misunder-
standings are growing worse
instead Of better, and 1t will be
impossible to get q $7.9-billion
program or anything like it
through Congress this election
year or any other year unless
realities are faced frankly and
the task Of building a new foun-
dation is undertaken in earnest
by the President and leaders Of
both parties here.
