Placing The Blame

There is no doubt that revela-
tions as to the shortage in ammu-
milton in Korea made by General
Van Fleet upon his retirement last
month deeply shocked people
generally throughout the country.
Beneficial results were not only to
spur production, correcting this
menaciug state Of affairs, but 10
make sure it is never repeated,
Contradictory evidence as to the
responsibility has come from men
OF high character and ability.
The result is the American
people as whole know that some
thing went very wrong bu. they
do not know whom to blame The
Senate subcommittee, of which
Senator Margaret Chase Smith is
chairman, and Senator Harry f.
Byrd the most incisive and effec-
tive member, is determined to get
at the truth aud tell it to ua. This
would be It very great public ser
vice. Clearly, it is vital to know.
At the moment there is great con-
troycrsy over whether the fault
lies with the army, as cortended
by Mr.. Robert Lovett and others,
or with the civilian directors cf de-
Tense in the last administration as
maintained by Senator W. Stuart
Symington, of Missouri
1t is to be hoped the heat of this
argument viii not obscure the fact
that a very large part Of the
responsibility must be placed upon
the great steel strike Of 1851.
Shrill shouts Of denial that this is
so have come from the Go leaders,
but these do not alter the acts.
The basic one is that in the midst
Of a grave national crisis the CIO
called a strickland insisted upon
