The Vital Battlefield Is in Asia

and sterile struggle In Korea
brought us face to face with
realities there. We saw and
suffered through a period of
naked aggression by the Com
munists in Korea. an agrees
sion which so far has gone
unpublished.
Yet there is still, among
some of our most influential
leaders. that curious tendency
to view events in Vienna or
Berlin or Rome as much more
significant to the future and
to the fight with communism
than are events anywhere in
Asia. no matter how fore
boding.
We rose CALAMITY and VIC
toriously to the challenge Of
the Reds in Berlin, when the
immense effort of the airlift
saved that city from engulf-
ment In the Kremlin's hungry
NAV.
But our attitude toward
Asian crises has been equivocal
and half-hearted. Even where
we committed ourselves and
our allies to shooting action
to repel aggression. as in Ko-
rea, our effort was held back
and weakened by policies of
our. own choosing. with the
not-surprising result that our
aims were ne Nsr achieved.
The conspirators of the
Kremlin know full well that
unless the defenders of the
free world are ready to fight
in any part of the world for
the survival Of freedom, they
can steadily reduce the areas
and assets of freedom by SIM
ply picking the right spot for
the next overt act.
II the free world will not
fight for Quemoy or the Mat
sus, the Reds know there will
come a day when the free
world cannot fight for New
York or London. Then the
hammer and sickle will wave
everywhere over a world Of
Communist slaves.

Reuctors Pose
Risk Problem

The 18th annual convention
of the Federation Of Insurance
Counsel yesterday was brought
up-to-date on early plans for
the protection Of atomic reac-
tors in private industry.
Clark c. Vogel. deputy counsel
for the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, told the convention meeting
in the Sheraton-Park Hotel that
the Acc is preparing regulations
governing the operation OF
atomic reactors in private indus
try and public utilities. He added
that a serious hindrance to the
use Of reactors by private indus
try is the question of insurance
Mr.. Vogel declared that, under
the atomic energy law Of over a
year ago. the ultimate aim is for
the Federal Government to stay
clear of the field insofar as the
peacetime use of the atom is
concerned.
Mr.. Vogel said, however, IL
may be necessary for the Gov
eminent to handle part of the
insurance burden.
At the same time Hubert w
Young. vice president Of the Lib
erty Mutual Insurance Co. In
Boston, told the group thai
while there are many business
firms interested in the atomic
field, all of them want to pro-
tect their assets through insur-
ance. However. he added, the
insurance industry has not yet
been able to evaluate properly
the possible effects of atomic re-
actors well enough to give pre-
else answers to insurance ques-

Europe-fhsters Think Berlin, Not Chino,
Is More Important to the Free World

Senator Enowland. minority
leader Of the Senate, has once
again reminded Americans
that there is really a new
meaning IN the old. much
abused term .'isolationist."
The Californian. a frequent
target for critics ranging from
appeasement-mtnded one
worlders to thinly disguised
fellow travellers, has been
called "the Senator from For
raosa" for his diligent,
thoughtful and consistent
stand on the Importance Of
the Far East in the world bat
tie against communism.
To Senator Knowland, there
is little logic in the too-preva-
lent view that Berlin Is inn
portant to the survival Of the
free world, but Free China is
not. He pounds on the unas-
sailable line that freedom is
indivisible." . truism admitted
by all in principle but by few
in practice.
The California Senator, in
Q recent speech in San Fran
cisco. warned that the off,
shore islands Of Quemoy and
Matsu are as critical In their
importance to the free world
as are any other Red-threat-
ened spots on the globe.
And he chided those Amer
leans who. in their preoccu-
patton with the affairs of Eu-

the Communists. These, he
says. are the real Isolation
ists." No greater fallacy ex-
