Van Fleet Says U. N.
| Must Win in Korea
To Rout Communism
BY the Associated Press

GAINESVILLE. Fla. Mar. 81.
The Democratic nations must
end the Korean war with a de
cisive military victory" to come
out on top in their world wide
conflict with communism. Gen.
James A, Van Fleet said here
today.
The retiring commander of
the United Nations 9th Army in
Korea said in a University of
Florida centennial convocation
speech: 1--WE can defeat COM
munisn in Korea and on any
other front in which it seeks to
advance without getting involved
in World War III if-and I en-
phasize this 'if'-if we act boldly
and with decision.
Aggression is always en-
couraged by timidity and eau
ton. 1t is always discouraged
and checked by decisiveness and
courage"
Calls Korea Phase of Struggle
He said he agreed with Presi-
dent Eisenhower that the Korean
war is the most painful phase OF
a world struggle.
'ThiS is the immediate test
that lies before us. This is where
we must win. This is where we
can win. The decision we have
to make is to deal the Commu-
mist armies in Korea a decisive
military defeat. If and when we
do that. our major problem is
solved.
Gen. Van Fleet said: "Stale.
mate is not enough. We can't live
indefinitely in a state Of uncer.
tainty. Communism thrives or
chaos. Freedom demands q de.
gree Of security and stability. W.
can't go on half at war and only
half at peace"
To win in Korea, he said, the
United States needs a bigger
well-trained army of its own anc
strengthened Asiatic allies.
I'm the war that is being
fought in Asia. we need people oi
Asia on our side. We should make
every endeavor to continue tc
build them up"
Speaks With Kettering.
Gen. Van Fleet shared the
platform during the program
with Charles F. Kettering, vice
president of General Motors and
one of the Nations leading in
dustrial inventors.
Mr.. Kettering received one OF
four honorary degrees bestowed
by the university. Others went
to Millard F. Caldwell, former
Governor and United States Civil
Defense Administrator; Senator
Holland Of Florida, and DR.. John
j. Tigert, who was president OF
the university for 19 years.
Gen. Van Fleet, who taught
military science to the ROTC and
coached the football team at the
university 80 years ago, received
a book of citations, a silver punch
bowl and set of cups from friends
and admirers.

TAIPEH, Formosa, Sunday,
Mar. 22.-Adlai Stevenson de-
clared yesterday the Chinese Ma
tionalist stronghold Of Formosa
was essential to the defense Of
the free world.
Later he had two talks with
President Chang Kai.shek, last
ing a total of two hours before
and after formal dinner at the
generaliSSimo's residence.
TOasts Chang.
The 1852 Democratic presi-
Dental candidate toasted Gen.
Chang during the dinner as "the
valiant and celebrated leader Of
the indomitable Chinese people,
the president Of the Republic Of
China"
Gen. Chang responded:
"It's a great pleasure to well
come a new friend in our midst"

Stevenson Declares Formoso
Is Essential to Free World

Earlier, at one of the best at.
tended news conferences ever
held in Formosa, Mr.. Stevenson
told newsmen Formosa's defense
was essential.
He said a political settlement
in Korea was a worldwide
problem and possibly the only
way to solve it was by strength
and resistance to the Commu-
niStS.
Mr.. Stevenson seemed aston
iShed when a Chinese newsman
quoted him as having said in a
speech in San Francisco last
year that the United States
would recognize the Peiping Red
regime if necessary.
II think I'll send him a copy
Of the speech" he remarked.
He said that If one of the
Nationalist objectives were to
demonstrate on Formosa that
the mistakes Of the past would
be rectifled, the results he had
seen were splendid"
He said better government and
better opportunity for China
could be lone of the most his
toric accomplishments of many
centuries"
Besides Gen. Chang and Mr..
Stevenson, only two other per-
sons were present at a Commute
conference after dinner-United
States Ambassador Karl Rankin
and Foreign Minister George
Yeh.
Mr.. Stevenson was due to leave
today from Hong Kong on his
round-the-world fight.

Facing A 1853 World

Ar this time Of the year the annual crop
OF college graduates enters upon a new
HE and the many perils of the outside
world. Those who must earn living emerge
into the business world at time when pro-
duction is high Jobs are relatively plentiful
and wages are good.
Many of them cannot remember the time
when Jobs were not plentiful and when
money was not comparatively plentiful. The
graduate of 1853 will probably enjoy prom
ising economic opportunities for several
years hence. While a mild reimbursement
might occur later this year or in 1854 the
general consensus of opinion is that good
business is here to stay, through 1856
In this respect, the graduate of 1858 is
highly Fortunate He is fortunate in enter
ing the business world at a time when a
period OF comparative sterilization seems to
be setting in. The era ahead of him may we'll
be the most glorious and productive vet
experienced by the United States With the
nation expanding its population at the rate
of million and half each year, thus en-
larging the market for goods considerably
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1953-06-02

and with the standard Of living rising
which also increases the market for goods
opportunities for young people in 1853 seem
unlimited
Though many male graduates face sew
eral years in the armed services, the chances
are that most of them will not be sent into
combat and the general conclusion is that
chances of a third world war are less than
they have been in recent years In addition
to these bright signs on the horizon. the
1858 graduate is living in an age when
medical science is maIIrG rapid strides in
its fight against incurabe diseases and in
which labor saving convenlences are more
numerous than ever before.
There is no reason, then. why the 1888
graduate should not be optimistic about his
future and set upon the task Of corning 4
living with sober confidence To succeed. a
will to work is still required, and Christ
ian attitude toward ones fellow man is
still the most valuable asset Tie 1858
graduate who is confident willing to work,
and unSelfish in outlook can be assured of
4 bright future.

at the moment is that our Gus
