The most important objective
of our Nations foreign policy is
to safeguard the security of the
United States by establishing
and preserving a just and honor
able peace. In the Western Paci-
fic a situation Is developing in
the Formosa Straits that serious
ly imperils the peace and our
security.
Since the end of Japanese hos
tilities in 1945, Formesa and the
Pescadores have been in the
friendly hands of our loyal ally,
the Republic of China. We have
recognized that it was important
that these islands should remain
in friendly hands. In unfriendly
hands, Formosa and the Pesca-
dores would seriously dislocate
the existing, even if unstable,
balance of moral, economic and
military forces upon which the
peace of the Pacific depends. It
would create a breach in the is.

Representative Killings, Re-
publican, Of California. today
proposed creation of a Commits
sion on Organization Of the
Federal Judiciary-Similar to the
Hoover Commission-to make a
broad inquiry into the problems
Of the courts.
Mr. Killings said he was max
ing the proposal for the same
reasons that he was backing the
move to invite the Chief Justice
of the United States to address
the Congress-to focus Nation
wide attention on court needs.
Members of Congress. he said.
approach the judiciary from the
point of view of getting another
Judge for their districts or doing
something about a particular
court set-up. Very seldom, he
said, does Congress look at the
judiciary from the Nationwide
point OF view.
A member of the House Judi
ciary Committee. he said he had
thought for years that something
should be done.
Not an Emotional Subject.
1--WE hear about crowded cal
endars, insufficient number of
judges, inadequate physical facil-
ities for holding court, lack Of
sufficient courts and lack of
funds" he said. These are sub
jects which are not charged with
emotion and not too many peo-
pie think about them until they
themselves become litigants and
victims Of the inadequate sys-
tenn"
The commission proposed in
his bill would consist of 16 mem
bers--four appointed by the
President, four by the Chief Jus
tice, four by the President of
the Senate and four by the
Speaker of the House. Half of
those appointed by the President
would come from the executive
branch. Half of those appointed
by the Chief Justice would be
from the Federal judiciary. The
two congressional leaders would
make half their appointments
from members of their bodies.
AL others on the commission
would be from individuals in
private life. All members would
be lawyers in good standing.
Some Subjects Listed.
Mr.. Killings said the proposed
commission would inquire into
every phase of the Federal court
system. He listed as a few SUBJ
jects Of inquiry:
l. The volume of litigation,
delays and suggested remedies.
2. The advisability of CONSOLE
dating courts Of special jurisdic-
ton. such as the Tax Court and
others. with District Courts.

interest that Formosa and the
Pescadores should not fall into
the control of aggressive Com
munist forces.
Influenced by such considera-
tions, our Government was
prompted, when the Communists
committed armed aggression in
Korea in June, 1850, to direct
our 7th Fleet to defend For
mosa from possible invasion
from the Communist mainland.
Reasons Still Hold.
These considerations are still
valid. The 7th Fleet continues
under presidential directive to
carry out that defensive mission.
We also provide military and
economic support to the Chi
nese Nationalist government and
we cooperate in every proper
and feasible way with that gov
ernment in order to promote its
security and stability. All Of
these military and related ac-

In addition, there was signed
last December Mutual Defense
Treaty between this Govern

covering Formosa and the neigh

of purely defensive character.
