But it didn't take long for

Perhaps that's still a small

are millions of others who have

that America fights for an

It is going to be hard to in

may not be on anybody's con-

much worse 1T is beginning to
look as if they aren't on any
body's conscience here in

way to destroy the morale of

because a commitment had
been made to our allies to end
the fighting. The plausible
argument was advanced that
aggression had been repealed"
and that the Communists had
learned a lesson and that a
third world war had neen
averted. Significant warnings
against further aggression
were then released by Wash
ington in the hope of restrain
ing the Communists from ,en-
larging the war in Indo-C China.
But the warnings went un-
needed and the Indo- China
war was enlarged, with aid
from Red China. The Western
countries in due time capitu-
lated to the aggressor.
The 33,417 dead, moreover,

It is now clear that, barring
accidents. the party in power
will feature during the fall
campaign a boast of peace in
our time. From that peace.
G. o. p. orators will argue, all
blessings TOW. including their
tax cuts, budget economies and
a stabilizing level of prices.
This does not mean that
communism will go unmen-
toned. The Communist sue
cesses will be blamed again on
the Democrats and Dean
Acheson. The Harry Dexter
White case has been drama
tized on film for home movies,
for example, and Democrats
hear that Attorney General
BroWnell has some new indict-
ments up his sleeve for an
election climax,
This shape of politics to
come, with monumental anti
Communist talk undiminished
but no military moves to in
woke the specter of war, has
been emel ging gradually since
last spring. Vice President
Nixon's suggestion that Amer
lean troops might be needed
in In6o-China was the high
water mark of United States
belligerence. All has been ebb-
tide since then.
1t remained for the Capitals
most recent visitor, President
Syngn1an Rhee of South Ko-
rea, to blow the whistle pub
licly on the vast difference be-
tween the anti Communist at
mosphere of the Nations Cap
ital and the actual acts which
the executive and legislative
branches are willing to sane
ton.
In New York interview,
Mr.. Rhee said bitterly that
"shortSighted United States
policy" made it impossible to
achieve the unification of Ko-
rea which was essential to the
future of all Asia and of the
free nations" Americans have
not got the common CUTS to
face the problem" said the
out-spoken old man who had
utilized a joint session of Con-
greSs to call for what would
amount to preventive war
against Red China.
Mr.. Rhee thus revealed what
the official communique here
wrapped up in semantics,
which is that he got no en-
couragement for military adj
ventures.
Only a week before, a sim
liar message started on it's way
to Chang Kai-Shek and the
Nationalist Chinese in Formo-
sa. The American Ambassador
to Formosa, Karl Rankin, con-
ferred quietly and intensely
here with his superiors about
what the loss of Indo-C China
would mean. A career diplo-
mat, he started back to his
post without fanfare. but his
friends perceived that he. too,
had failed to dent the trend.
The South Korean President
is not the first foreign leader
to fail to understand that what
the United States will in the
end do Is not always to be
learned from congressional
headlines or their own Amer
lean visitors. Hitler anticipated
that the articulate isolationists
-Borah. johnson and others
would be able to keep America
out of his war.
