Defend Morse
j. Wilbur POtherby.

A letter signed by Clinton E. Mac
Eachran argues that Senator Morse
is violating trust in that-according
to Mr.. MacEachran's statement -
Oregon voters are represented by a
Democrat, whereas they voted for a
Republican.
The writer Of that letter has come
to a wrong conclusion through wrong
information. Senator Morse was not
elected as Republican for his pres
ent term. He announced we'll before
the election that he was running as
an independent, and certainly tried
in true Morse fashion to let every
Oregon voter know his establishment
with the Republican Party and in
particular with the Eisenhower plat
form. ii. w.
Senator Morse never betrayed any
voter. And 1 for one admire his in
testinal fortitude.
william Mckinley.
Clinton E. MacEachran. in his letter
published February "a, expresses the
opinion that Senator Wayne Morse
of Oregon should resign, He has
betrayed the Republican voters"
wonder what he thinks of people
such as former Gov. James F. Byrnes,
of South Carolina, Gov. Shivers, of
Texas and Senator Harry F. Byrd,
of Virginia?
It is not my opinion they should
resign. But surely do think it would
be more fitting for them to switch
to the Republican Party. where they
most certainly belong. BY doing SO
they would, in my humble opinion, be
less hypocritical.
do think it took Senator Morse
a long time to find out that the
Democratic Party is the party Of the
people of these United States and
not the party of big business.

All Quiet on the Formosun Front

II recent events have brought any sig
nificant change in the Formosan picture, it
is not readily visible to the naked eye.
brief furry in Washington has fol-
lowed the Presidents statement that "the
United States is not going to be party to
an aggressive war" But there is nothing
new in this. No one has ever said we would
be party to such war. And, after all,
what does one mean by aggressive war?
Secretary of State Dulles, heading
homeWard after another of his remarkable
diplomatic tours, paused in Manila to brief
American ambassadors to Is Asian coun-
tries and stopped over in Taipei for session
with Chang Kai-Shek. 1t is very doubtful
that anything significantly new emerged
from either session. Our position with re-
Spect to the FormoSa question seems to be
just about what it was when Mr.. Dulles left
for the Far East.
Perhaps this position is worthy of re-
statement. We will fight, if necessary, to
prevent Communist conquest Of Formosa
and the Pescadores We probably would
fight if the offshore islands of Quemoy and
the Matsus were attacked in such way
as to raise threat to Formosa. At the same
time, we would like to dispose of the For
moSa question by negotiation. To this end,
we probably would be willing to trade off
the coastal islands for a guaranteed cease
fire applicable to FormoSa and the Pesca-
dores
The reports from Taipei cloak this last
point in some ambiguity. 1t is said, for in
stance, that Mr. Dulles assured Chang
Kai-shek that Quemoy and the Matsus are
not on the bargaining table for cease-flre.
But this should be taken with grain of salt.
Perhaps it means that they are not on the
bargaining table because, at the moment,
there is no table and no one to bargain with.
In any event. there is every indication that
the United States is willing to bargain.
The second point mentioned in the
Taipei dispatches is more troublesome. 1t
is to the effect that the Nationalist Chinese
would have to agree to any surrender of the
coastal islands in cease-f1re deal, and this,
if construed literally, could mean that
Chang Kai-shek has been given a veto
power over any negotiations.
In all probability, however, this is not
the case. 1t is true that the islands are
garrisoned by Nationalist troops, and Chang
might refuse to withdraw them To this
extent, he holds veto power of a sort. But
this is quite different thing from pledge
by Mr.. Dulles that the United States will
not enter into satisfactory ceasefire
agreement which would entail the abandon
ment, as far as we are concerned, of the
coastal islands 1t is most unlikely that
Mr.. Dulles has made any such commitment,
for such an arrangement would run directly
counter to his own determination, and that
of the President, to retain full freedom OF
decision and action for ourselves in this
dangerous business.

Our Presidents
George Maravelas.

Honore M. Catudal. in "Our Presi-
dents" asked on February Is. who
was President when the 18th Amend
ment to the Constitution became eff
fective AZ years ago today?" The answer
given was Woodrow Wilson was Pres
ident when the income tax amendment
became effective February 25, 1913"
Now I will concede that Wilson was
President in 1918; that February 25.
1913, was AZ years ago on the day of
the feature, and that perhaps the in
come tax amendment became effec-
tive on that date. But, considering that
William Howard Taft was President
until March 4, 1918, Wilson could not
possibly have been President on that
day. G. w. Edgerly.

34-Acre co|ored Farmer Points WAY
10 Good Living For Small Operators

How small. farmers can make
good living on a few acres is be-
ing demonstrated by Felix Haynes,
a 73-year-old colored farm operator
Of Murfreesboro, Tenn, says w.
H. Williamson, assistant State ex-
tension agent of Tennessee.
On just 81 acres with a three
and-a-half-acre cotton allotment,
Mr.. Haynes is crossing close to
$4,000 a year by following sound
agricultural practices.
"And with his small farm paid
for and most Of his food coming
right off his land, this farmer is
living well, indeed" Williamson
declares.
In fact, Mr.. Haynes has done so
well that he took second place over
800 competing farmers last year in
the Middle Tennessee Rural Home
Life contest.
Asked what he thought contrib

Haynes replied, keeping my land
in good shape, growing a variety
of crops instead of just one or two,
and raising food for my family and
feed for my livestock"
When the Tennessee prize win
ner bought his farm years ago, he
was able to get only three-quarters
of bale of cotton to the acre on
it, and had to rent additional land
in order to keep going. Today, he
gets more than two bales to the
acre, or eight bales off his three
and-a-half acre allotment. His corr
yield has risen, too. He now gets
SO to go bushels to the acre, instead
of only 18 to 20.
Mr.. Haynes increased his crol
yields by following the practice
recommended by his county agent
Tony Webb, Jr. These included

Jewish Leader Urges
Peace as Condition
For Arming Arabs

DR.. Nahum Goldman, chair
man of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, last night urged that
the United States, before arming
the Arab nations, should insist
that they make peace with
Israel.
DR.. Goldman addressed the
Conference of American Jewish
Organizations, sponsored by 16
nationaI groups, at the Shore
ham Hotel. Some 500 delegates
attended.
He questioned the wisdom of
arming the Arab nations with
out any strings attached. He said
that United States aid to Iran
was conditioned at one time
upon an oil agreement and aid
to Egypt was based on a settle
ment of the Suez Canal problem.
Asks Factual Decision.
DR.. Goldman asked whether
the United States will wait until
the situation in the Middle East
becomes fixed or act now. He
said the problems can be solved
if the interested parties decide
on the basis of facts.
A premium would be paid to
Arab extremists in arming those
governments and asking nothing
in return. DR.. Goldman said.
He declared he does not believe
that the Republican administra-
tion is unfriendly or hostile to
Israel.
He said there is no dispute on
the program Of the American
government wanting to line up
the Middle East for the Western
world by gaining the confidence
OF the Arabs. The difference
arises, he said, over methods of
achieving these aims.
DR.. Goldman declared the
