the President of the United
States. Any resemblance, how
ever, to the United-States New
Deal or British socialism is
purely coincidental.
The problems are entirely
different here. Cartels keep
prices up and wages down and
stifie competition. One good
United States supermarket, in
the opinion of an American
businessman here, could bring
food prices down 90 per cent.
Nobody expects such drastic
and revolutionary moves from
M. Mendes-France, but his
aim is to modernize French
industry and improve the lot
of the people. In the field of
housing alone, there are young
French couples who have no
reasonable expectation that be-
fore they die they will have a
home or even a nice apartment
of their own.

This period In history prob
ably wiz be described some day
as the era of make-b believe-
when governments and peoples
of the free world simply re-
fused to be REALISTIC about what
was happening all around
them.
When. for example. the
Korean war broke out in June.
1850, the world was assured
that the police action"-as
President Truman called it,
would be over in a short time.
When it ended after three
years of fighting, the world
was assured in glowing terms
that aggression had been re
pelled" and communism had
suffered a setback.
Predictions were widely pub
lished in the press by realistic
observers that. after the armi-
stice was signed, the military
energies Of the Communists
would be turned toward lndo-
China. Solemn warnings were
issued by the. United States
Government that this must not
be permitted to go unchal-
lenged II it happened.
But the Communists dis
regarded all warnings and
stepped up the war in Indo-
China. The French and
British governments favored
appeasement and left America
isolated. When the Indo-
China armistice was signed,
there was another wave Of
satisfaction expressed by the
Pollyanna spokesman of gov
ernments that, at last, the
world was going to see an end
Of fighting.
The Republican campaign
strategists in the United States
then began making films
about how peaceful the world
had become and how much
credit was due the Eisenhower
administration for having
ushered in q new epoch of
tranquility.
But the Communists haven't

lie. It is darkly suggested in
some quarters that the failure
of EDO was the price Of the
truce.
This ugly suspicion probably
will not down until he pro-
duces, or at least co-operates
with, a workable alternative
to EDO. Yet, there Is a very
great unanimity Of opinion
that he will stick to the Western
alliance he processes to sup
port.
He has given ammunition to
his detractors by including at
least two men In the cabinet
whose Communist connection
are undeniable. Others among
his associates are viewed as
brilliant but unstable.
Following the rejection Of
EDO, M. Mend e s-France's
troubles in inducing provost
erners to enter the cabinet viii
grow. He has admitted as
much to the American Ambas-
sador, G.. Douglas Dillon.
His reaction to the. bitter
German statement in which
DR.. Konrad Adenauer appeared
to a bandon rapprochement
with France was temperate. It
was, he thought. q matter Of
internal politics, more apparent
than real. He was not inclined
to make an issue Of it and he
appeared to sympathize with
Chancellor Adenauer as a poll
tician who had lost prestige
and might be expected to lash
out.

It is incredible, but ] believe
it to be fact. that in the face
of the clearest possible Chi
nese Communist intentions.
our own policy is one of drift.
Neither the administration nor
Congress has decided whether
to hold Formosa at whatever
cost. Legally the 7th Fleet
neutralizes Formosa by virtue
Of an executive order issued
under the emergency OF the
Korean war. There is no exist
ing legal means by which
forces other than naval could
be diverted to Formosa unless
: the United Nations so ordered
p extremely unlikely or the
United States Congress de-
clared war.
The whole American Pacific
defense system rests on a line
of islands, in which Formosa
is of vital Importance. 1t is all
one system and If Formosa Is
lost, our next line is in Hawaii.
The Philippines, whose gov
ernment wants much firn1er
defense than that OF the
Southeast Asia pact, is greatly
concerned.
For on this series Of is
lands tens of thousands OF
Americans fought and died
within the last decade. And
if the worlds greatest naval
and air power cannot defend
islands, it cannot-or so it
will appear in Asia and else
where-defend anything.
But at any rate the most
dangerous policy is one which
fails to remove uncertainties.
Certainty is the sine qua non
of effective deterrence.

stopped fighting, They now
have started another war-this
time against Formosa.
Again there is q disposition
throughout the free world to
minimize it as just q few
raids in and around q few
small islands.
First of all, an American
naval patrol plane is shot
down on the high seas by
Soviet fighter planes well off
the coast Of Siberia. Then
there are reports of attacks
on Formosa by Communist
planes. And now the dis
patches tell how the Chinese
Nationalist air force dumped
rockets and bombs on the
Communist held Annoy Island
and the nearby mainland
coast.
AS many as 100 jet planes
have been engaged at one
time in the raids of the coast
of China and the word is that
the Soviet Navy is moving
some of its ships and sub
marines into the area where
the United States 7th Fleet
is also engaged in some ma
neuvering.
On top Of this, the Security
Council of the United Nations
is called into session to discuss
the attack on the American
patrol plane by the Soviet air
force. Since Soviet Russia is
supposed to be a "peace-lov-
ing" member of the United
Nations, there is expected to
be some public debate about
the aggressive tendencies OF
the Moscow government.
Coincidentally. President Ell
senhower, vacationing at Den

tional Security Council into
session there Sunday to talk
with Secretary of State Dull

officials ask: Would the two
outposts be worth the losses
we are likely to incur? And
would the actual defense OF
Formosa not be seriously i'm
paired by such losses?
There is more validity in
the arguments Of those who
support an all-out defense OF
the Quemoys, with American
assistance if necessary. II the
NationalistsS beco me hard
pressed. But there is some-
thing to be said in favor Of the
opponents of such strategy.
Both sides agree that our
failure to assist the Chinese
NationalistS would be q severe
blow to our already waning
prestige in the Far East un-
less we make it clear before 1t
is too late whether the Que
moys are included in the For
mosa defense plans. No such
Qualification has yet been made
by the State or Defense De-
partments.
The matter, it is said, will
be taken up with President
Eisenhower by the National
Security Council in Denver
this week end. They will have
the advantage of first-hand
information gathered by Sec
retary of State Dulles in long
talks with Chang yesterday.
Chang is believed to have
told Mr.. Dulles frankly
whether he considers the is
lands vital to his defense or
only important" In the lat
ter case it is possible that the
President of the Chinese re-
public himself may make some
statement to the effect that
American support Of Quemoy
is not essential.

George n. Bender, who is
seeking the seat in the Senate
occupied for many years by
Senator Taft, has a national
reputation of q sort beyond
that acquired naturally by a
member of Congress who has
served as long as he has in
the House of Representatives,
which is 16 years.
It is the repute-or notori-
ety-that comes from an actors
role in any of the many side
shows at national political
conventions. George Bender
was the round-faced, stocky
figure familiar to many dele
gates-and doubtless to mill

nation for President at the

Senator Taft was "Mr. Repub-

Noble C0uniians
viii Benefit From
Excise Tax Slash

Lower prices for Noble Coun-
tians are expected almost i'm
mediately on such items as
household appliances, jeWelry,
furs, cosmetics, movie and thea
ter tickets, telephone and tele-
graph charges, travel tickets and
luggage, following the signing Of
the excise tax bill Wednesday by
President Eisenhower.
The bill cuts federal excise
taxes on commodities including
the above, cutting excise tax
sales billions of dollars a year.
At the same time, present excise
tax rates continue on liquor,
beer, wine, gasoline, automobiles
and cigarettes and these will
yield in the neighborhood of
81, 100000 annually.
The percentage of excise tax
on jewelry, furs, cosmetics, lug
gage and handbags are cut today
from 20 percent to 10 percent.
Admission tickets costing more
than SO cents will be taxed at
10 percent, instead of 20 percent.
Tickets costing less than so cents
won't be taxed at all.
Long distance telephone calls,
instead of 25 percent and local
calls, instead of 10 percent, will
be taxed 10 percent.
The new tax law went into
effect Thursday. The president
signed the bill Wednesday after
Congress completed action on
the measure the day before, with
House vote 1851, and the Sen
ate voted 1913.
