I'VE have an armament in

spirit Is stronger than ever"

Canada. Mexico and Australia.

and ammunition at a good rate.
With the Communists so occupied,
Chang could hit the mainland.
The Communists don't have the
capacity to fight in South China
with more than 25O,000 men in an
dctiUe campaign. They could not
consistently equip and transport re-
serves for q larger force over the
1,500 miles from Manchuria. If war
comes the Reds would have to be
denied access to sea transportation,
Of course. But with the United
States Mayor with Chinese
manned American ships-such
blockade would be relatively easy.
Such a two-front assault Is the
only way I see for obtaining a vic
tory over Red China. If this plan
were followed out, it would also work
to the benefit of the Indo- Chinese
and French fighting in Southeast
Asia. The Communists would be
able to supply less to the Wet Mini
if their transportation were taxed
to make deliveries to troops fighting
an invasion of the mainland.
Soft UnderbeIIy'
The bulging South China coast
opposite FormoSa is the soft under
belly of China" because of the sup
ply problem. The first place for
Chang Kai-shek to hit would be

. MeIico. The fate of Mexicos So
cial revolution inspires hope that
Guatemala will ride out the storm of
Communist inf1ltration. After gain
ing much strength in the revolu-
ton and Popular Front of the 1930s,
the party has tumbled to about 3
per cent of the vote. Significantly,
the MexicanS set back communism
with progreSs-not hysteria.
. Uruguay. AS in Guatemala, the
Reds have abused this country's
proud practice of civil liberties (by
any reasonable standard, Guatemala
is democratic). They route Com
muniSt propaganda through Monte

in the streets. The Reds executed
several Chinese for their parts in
the demonstrations.
There are those who still worry
that If Chang were to hit the main
land under American auspices,
Russia would decide to come in and
World War III would be on. But
where is Russia to come in? In
South China? That isn't the way
the Russians do business. They
use their satellites that far away
from home.
Some think such an attack on
Red China would signal the Soviet
Union to launch an all-out attack
against America. But there is no
indication that the Kremlin wants
World War III. There is evidence,
however, that the .Kremiln wants
to avoid general war. The Reds
want war only when the other meth
DDS of conquest, like infiltration, fail.
An indication of how reluctant
the Communists are to fight was
provided in Greece. They lost Greece
after they had almost taken it.
They had no stomach for the stiff
fened resistance there after the
Americans sent help.
U. S. Role Hit
At present, however, the United
States is doing a far-from-satisfac
tory job in equipping Chiang'S
forces. Even Formosa's capacity for
defense leaves much to be desired.
If the Reds were to attack this place
by air tomorrow, the United States
would be embarrassed. It would
have to move in carriers or the regu-
lar air force to save this place.
The Chinese Air Force, however,
could defend this island if it had
the proper planes. 1t has the pilots.
Much has been made of the jets
which recently arrived. But these
are the outmoded F-84s. The Chi
nese have good pilots and mainte-
nance crews to handle these jets,
but, unfortunately. the F-84 is no
match for what the Communists
have. That was shown in Germany
last March when a plane of that
type was knocked down because it
couldn't cope with the MIG-15 that
attacked it.
The important thing to remem-
ber. however. is that the Reds in
China, who have shown they never
intend to let genuine peace break
out in the Far East, can be chased
out. They have an insoluble prob
lem that can be their downfall: In
adequate transportation.
The United States has the tech
nology to provide Chang with the
transport and other equipment he
needs to bring superior forces
against the Reds. and eventually to
drive them out of China.

roads or navigable rivers into this
province, which is completely ringed
by mountains. The highways are
terrible; they lead over steep noun
tain trails. If Chang were able to
knock the Reds out Of Fukien once,
they would have an almost impos-
Sible task Of getting back in.
Chang, on the other hand, could
break out II the United States could
furnish him the trucks and transport
planes to keep his supplies rolling.
The Chinese Nationalist objective,
once the breakout Of Fukien II
accomplished, would be the North
South railroad to the Northwest.
This is the vital railway that links
Hankow to Canton. Once aStride
that railroad, Chang would be able
to cut of all supplies heading south
toward Canton and Hainan.
Then 1t would be time to turn
south with part Of Chiang's forces
to take Canton. This would give
Chang a port to his rear. from
which he could be supplied by water
in greater quantity. The next OBJ
jective would be to take all Of South
China below the Yangtze River.
There are those who think Chang
should head straight for Canton
once he is established in Fukien. I
think it is more important to cut
off the supplies first.
100000 Needed
Keeping in mind my estimate that
the Reds can supply no more than
250,000 electives in such South
China campaign against the Nation
alists, would estimate that Chang
needs only about 100000 troops to
hit the mainland. In addition, of
course. he would need adequate
troops to defend the Formosan
Island bastion to the rear.
Once the generaliSsimo establishes
himself on the mainland, the people
will flock to him. He will get more
armed forces volunteers than he can
arm. How can I be sure? My air.
line, Civil Air Transport, has more
than 1,400 Chinese employees. most
of them from the mainland orig
inally. Their families are still there.
These employees get almost daily
reports from home. and these re-
ports show that nobody is satisfied
with the Communists. The Reds
are depressing the people and taking
their food. Every one is asking,
When is Chang coming back?"
After all. Chang is the only man
who has ever chased the Reds all
over China. The Chinese remem-
ber that. When Mao pushed him
out there was not a revolution in
Chinese thought. The people were
simply passive. They did not flock
to Mao. They weren't pro-Com-
munist. Quite the contrary: Look
