good value this week, combine
the two in a springtime lunch
con dish. Cut the avocados into
halves lengthwise; remove seed
but do not peel. Sprinkle with
salt; fill cavities with creamed
asparagus and top with bacon
slices cut into halves. Put the
filled shells into a shallow pan

warm water. Bake in a me-
dunn oven about 5 minutes.
Do you know asparagus is
related to the lily of the val

by the ancient Greeks and
Romans. and was called "sper-

the feebleness of its case had
stimulated all the old doubts

The economic stakes in the
case are very large since they
amount to ownership of the
prosperous broadcast interests

licenses the FEC could put
him out of his business and
make it possible for others to

gime they are also expected to

Formosan aspirations for
autonomy go back over so
years. When FormoSa was
ceded to Japan in 1895 a For
mosan deputation offered a
protectorate to Great Britain
and later to France. When
these rejected the offer, an
independent republic of For

overwhelming majority in
favor of independence under
a temporary U. N. or United
States trusteeship. They have
told foreign visitors they would
prefer Japanese administra-
tion to continuation of the
present regime.
The problem is not, there
fore, merely of defending For
mosa. 1t is the political status
of the country.
Had the United States de-
clared a straight protectorate

would not exist.

Rearmament is far from popu-

the mainland, appointed an
old crony, Gen. Chen vi. as
Governor General of Formosa,
a man who previously had been
recalled as Governor of Fukien

arrived in Formosa with a
plundering retinue of relatives
and carpetbaggers and within
a year FormosanS (who had

In early 1947 the Formosans

cepted these demands and then
imported military reinforce

the leaders of the protest.
Chang Kai-shek's investiga-

Chen vi. Only when Ameri-

Chen vi recalled. Nanking
gave him a heros welcome,
but he was later executed for
treason in Formosa.
The FormosanS, under jap

never had more than shadowy

Now, following Chiang's de-

occupied by 100000 refu-

Sir Winston never had Mr..

Sir Winston had arranged to

shocked to find that Mr..
Roosevelt, who had invited
Chang, insisted on hearing
"the China Story" first, and

Mr.. Knowland reminded his

and other weapons in equal
violation of the U. N. resolu-
tion and the charter of the Or
ganization." Despite this, as
he points out, mo steps were
taken to expel the Soviet
Union from the United Ma
tions."
In the same speech the Re
publican leader draws atten-
tion to the arrogant boast by
the Soviet Union that it had
helped Red China, and he re-
calls that the Soviet repre-
sentative in the U. N. sin ef-
feet defied the U. N. to do
anything about it-and they
did nothing"
The California Senator
stressed that "every member
of the United Nations knows
that the terms of the Korean
armistice have been violated
on numerous occasions" and
he cites examples including
the Imprisonment of II men,
bers of the American Air
Force. Then comes this star
tling declaration:
There is strong reason to
believe that there are at least
several hundred additional
U. N. and U. S. prisoners of

urge the admission Of Com
munist China which was the
aggressor in the Korean War;"
and that "this, together with
the other Communist states.
would give that system OF
tyranny 800 million people
that they claim to speak for"
The California Senator there
upon proclaims his challenge
as follows:
"As for me. as long as I
have a voice or a vote in the
Senate of the United States.
1 shall never consent to per-
mitting the guarantees of free
dom under our Constitution to
be diluted or modified direct
ly or indirectly by any organ
ization having nations in pow
erful policy positions which
have no appreciation of or
respect for free institutions.
Lest we be gradually edged
into such a world order before
we learn too late wherein we
have been taken, believe that
every candidate for public Of
fee, executive, legislative or
judicial, should be asked to
give a fortnight view upon
this great public issue"
Mr.. Knowland thinks the
United Nations could perform
useful service as "a forum
wherein the views of the free
world and the Communist
world might be aired to the
benefit of the people of the
world. provided that there was
assurance the debates in the
general assembly or the Sc
curity council were receiving
as widespread coverage be-
hind the Iron Curtain as they
do in the free nations of the
world" The Senator adds:
otherwise it (the United
Nations) becomes a vast prop
aganda forum for the Commu-
mist world wherein the point
of view of the West does not
have the equal opportunity to
get to the people of the Soviet
Union and its satellites because
of the strict censorship those
governments exercise"
