Kremlin and Red China's For

kinds of rumors were spread at
the end of that conference.
Some observers in Moscow be-
lieved the ''moderates" in the
Kremlin had decided an armis-
tice this year would best serve
the Kremlin's plans. Others
maintained that the extremists
had won the upper hand and
that we must be prepared for
more hard fighting.
The recent probing actions in
strength by the Reds in Korea
and ViShinsky's defiant speech
on Monday confirm the SUPPOSE
tons Of those who predicted an
intensified war.
The Acknowledging axis has
decided to continue the war of
attrition. This may cost the
Reds 10 times as many casual
ties. but human life is the
cheapest commodity in the
Orient. With relatively small
expenditure, the U. S. S. r. ex-

intend to keep the military and
diplomatic initiative in their
hands.
Diplomatically no progress ap-
pears possible at the U. N. Gen

Britain, France and a handful
of other members of that peace

bringing about peace in which

Asian-Arab bloc, will not accept

that 1852 was the Senator's last
call for the nomination or, in
other terms, his "strike-out."
Will the Senator be content
with the recognition he will get
and deserve-as the dominant
leader in Congress and go along
comparatively with the Eisen-
hover administration, or will
the might have been" assert
itself, perhaps unconsciously and
unknoWingly, and suffuse his
personality and make Of him

To change the simile, there is
in this situation, symbolically,
the intriguing suggestion of CDR.
Jeky11 and Mr.. Hyde" without
any offense in the literary Ii
cense; though one can hear the
matter of fact Senator's snort,
as if he had been accused of
going out and beating up an
innocent old man with the walk
ing stick which he does not
affect.
The mystery is, and is likely
to become, more fascinating,
since no one could ever tell
just what motivated the Sena-
tor because of his fundamental
character. He is positive and
fortnight, by nature, and never
has hesitated to disagree with
anybody, no matter who it might
be, If that's the way he sees any
particular issue. It can be pre-
sumed he is not going to change
overnight, even for a President
of the United States of his own
party.
He intends to continue to lead
and to impress himself upon
events. For that he is equipped
with body of followers in Con-
gress that far outnumbers the
element of his party there that
sided with Gen. Eisenhower for
the nomination.
There is another circunl-
stance, part historical, part per.
sonal to his own defeat for the
nomination, that might influ-
ence him. Traditionally Con-
gress sets itself against the
Executive, one of our checks
and balances. If the executive
branch should include an over
balance of anti-Taft persons,
that might intensity for the
Senator the natural Congress-
versus-Executive antagonism.

should become Secretary of

The situation will be different
now. Business men will not
feel that. if they bring ideas to
Washington, these will be re-
jected without a fair hearing.
AS for political moves looking
toward 1856, the first steps will
be taken when Congress con-
venes in January. A certain
amount of attack probably will
continue through investigating
committees, especially on the
corruption front, because many
of the irregularities have not
yet been fully disclosed.
A certain amount of activity
will be carried on by the Sem
ate's Internal Security Commit
tee. which may be headed by
Senator Ferguson of Michigan.
Republican, instead of Senator
McCarran, Democrat, though,
since it's a subcommittee, there
isn't any good reason why the
Nevada Senator shouldn't con-
tinue as chairman if his col
leagues on the Judiciary Com
mittee wish him to do so. He
has done a splendid job.
The Joint Economic Commit
tee probably will be headed up
by Senator Taft, as it was in the
80th Congress. This is an i'm
portant fact-f1nding body. The
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers is being widely dis
cussed among the Republicans
SO the best possible men will be
appointed to it.
There are many signs that
the Republicans are determined
to avoid a depression and that,
if one shows up on the horizon,
they plan to deal swiftly with it
so that 1866 will permit them to
say, You never had it so good"
Depressions are political poi
son. The depression of 1893 was
almost fatal to the Democratic
Party. and it never came back
till 1912 because the Republi-
cans didn't fail to remind the
electorate of it in every cam
paign.
The depression of 1929 de-
feated the Republicans in 1882
and the Democrats have been
reminding the country of it ever
since.
So avoidance of a depression
is a task the Republicans have
very much in mind today as
they look forward not to Just
four years, but to at least eight
years of power.

Constantine Brown:
Korea Tougher Than Last War
ARTILLERY and Air Bonnbngs Equal Those We Threw at Axis
And Now Reds Indicate Plans for More Heavy Fighting

When President-elect Eisen-
hover goes to Korea he will
have in mind some useful figures
he has obtained from recent
brief1ngs.
The Army has fired the same
quantity of mortar and artillery
ammunition in the two years
OF Korean police action" as it
did in Europe throughout all Of
World War II. Navy and Marine
flyers have dropped as many
tons of bombs in Korea as in all
OF World War II in the Atlantic
and Pacific areas. The Air Force
has fired twice as much aircraft
ammunition in the two years of
Korean fighting as it did in the
first two years of the last war.
Its bomb tonnage was 20 per
cent greater than for the same
period in World War II.
Percentage-wise the casualties
we suffered in Korea are much
higher than during World War
I. In that period we modified
100000 men and suffered total
casualties of $4,000 (about 8 per
cent?, while in the Korean war
we have suffered 30 per cent
battle casualties so far. We sent
to that battlefield 500, 900 Ameri-
cans and had 127,500 dead and
wounded up to last week.
In both world wars victory
was IN sight within a short time
after American troops went into
action. In the Korean police
action" victory is still far away.
both automatically and mill
tarily.
Foreign Minister Andrei Wish
insky has doused all hopes for
what diplomats term "an armis-
tice with honor" in Korea. He
went on record in the United
Nations as saying the U. S. s. r.
insists we surrender to its pro-
teges and accept the terms of
full repatriation of all pris-
oners of war.
ViShirsky's speech has cleared
the atmosphere. A five-week
palaver was held in Moscow last

At the present time not even
inveterate optimists believe a
solution of the Korean war can
be found in the United Nations.
Veteran European observers
in New York compare the pres
ent situation with that which
existed in the fall of 1889 when
the Russians invaded Finland
and the defunct League of Ma
tions attempted to stop the Red
aggression. The old League had
at least tile courage to expel the
U. S. S. R. from that body.
There is no likelihood that his
tory will repeat itself, not only
because there is no such pro-
vision in the U. N. Charter, but
also because most of its mem
bers are intimidated by Russia's
power. t<..t
Gen. Eisenhower will reach
Korea in the near future. He in
tends to acquaint himself with
the situation on the ground
which will help him in what
ever decision he may make. But
he must be convinced by now
that the solution in Korea de-
pends henceforth on actions Of
the American Government itself.
He will have to weigh two al
ternativeS: Whether it is to the
best interests of America to take
a calculated risk and start an
offensive on a large scale or con-
tinue defensive war in which
we might suffer piecemeal even
greater losses without the hope
of an early conclusion of the
war.

State and Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge should become Secretary
of Defense. logical possibilities
being discussed. The Taft
Dewey feud dates far back.
Senator Lodge was a constant
challenger of Senator Taft in
the Senate. The ill feeling has
been compounded in both cases
by the vigorous campaigns Gov.
Dewey and Senator Lodge en-
gagged in for Gen. Eisenhower's
nomins ton, Senator Lodge as
his manager.
The latter clearly is marked
for a cabinet post. Gen. Eisen-
hover feels deeply indebted to
him. especially since the Sena-
tors efforts on his behalf were
manifestly a factor in the Lodge
defeat for reelection in Massa-
chuSetts. The PreSident-elect
indicated his intention by nam
ing the Senator as his llalSon
here on all transition matters
other than the budget.
Gov. Dewey also in the cabi-
net obviously would be too
much for Senator Taft. That

Gen. Eisenhower plainly is
recognizing the significance of
the question:
Gould Senator Taft have
Won?'

Thomas L. Stokes:
Could Senator Taft Have Won?
Ohioon's Belief Voters Would Have Elected Him
Stirs Speculation Over His Senate Leadership

A speculative question raised
often around here in the wake
Of the presidential election and
in advance of the coming Eisen-
hover administration is this:
Gould Senator Taft have
won If he had been nomipated?"
There can never be. an answer,
of course. But the Senator
thinks he could have been
elected, and says so publicly.
That may have its subtle in
fluence on the shape and course
and success of. the Eisenhower
administration, because it may
have its ,SubconsciouS effect on
the very powerful figure who.
himself, will be q factor Of con-
siderable, consequence in that
administration.
The Senator's confident belief
that he. too. could have won is
bound, since he is human, to
have started his mind on the
backward. trail again. Back
chiefly. perhaps, to the argu-
ment used most often and most
effectively against him, namely,
that he could not win. That
ranked, and probably does once
more. for it is the most unkind-
est cut of all to a politician. He
and his managers resented it
bitterly.
It Is to- no purpose to argue
whether the Senator from Ohio
could have won. It is true that,
when the votes were all counted
and all circumstances were con-
sidered, it did look like one of
those inevitable swings of the
pendulum long in the making,
an automatic reflex of our
checks-and- balances system.
Maybe any Republican could
have won-as it was once said,
for example, that any Democrat
could have won against Herbert
Hoover and the depression back
in 1882 when Franklin D. Roose-
velt got the lucky nod.
But the important thing here
is Senator !Taft's belief; for that
becomes one of those human
and psychological factors that
often have affected the trend of
history beforehand could we'll
do so again. ut might have
been" burns deep in the soul of
very ambitious men-and Sen
ator Taft proved himself to be
in that category. Disappoint-
ment is magnif1ed in his case by

Dovid LoWrence:

Ths presidential campaign
of 1856 has begun already. This
should not be surprising. For.
while the general public hasn't
always realized that the day
after election planning for the
next campaign starts, the ma
neuverS are usually visible to
the political leaders of both
sides.
Wilson Wyatt, campaign man
ager for Gov. Stevenson, wants
the Illinois Governor to stay
before the public with the idea
of running again in 1856. Many
of the admirers of the Governor
feel he is a. man of destiny in
politics. They look to him
rather than to President Tru-
man for leadership and do not
hesitate to say so openly.
On the Republican side, the
talk of 1856 is even more pro-
nounced. OF what avail would
it be, ask the Republicans, to
win in 1852 and stay in power
only four years? Obviously
the planning is to make the
kind of record which will mean
reelection for Gen. Eisenhower.
First and foremost in the
minds of all the Republican
leaders is the problem of a pos
sible depression. It is univer-
sally agreed that another de-
preston during a Republican
administration would drive the
party out of power in 1856 for
decades to come.
It is significant how much
conversation there is among the
Republican leaders about the
Importance of avoiding a de-
preston. One reason is that
the economists from various
groups, including some from
the labor unions, have been
saying for the last year that,
if armament expenses are seri-
ously curtailed, there will be
unemployment. The Republic
cans are committed to the cut
ing of expenses in order to
reduce taxes.
The Republicans, however,
have been discussing plans to
keep production of the Nation
at high levels irrespective of
some diminution in Government
spending, and the idea seems
to be to let the armament ex-
pense taper off while private
spending takes up the slack.
Confidence in the future among
businessmen has taken such a
decided turn for the better
