while claiming to be the only
legal government of China. So
the position of the islands
being legally ambiguous, but
de facto held by one Chinese
government and claimed by
another, any struggle over
them is within q civil war.
In 1850, President Truman
neutralized Formosa for the
duration Of the Korean war.
The 7th Fleet was sent
to the straits to police that
naturalization for a specific
period, The period is over but
the fleet has remained.
Meanwhile, Chang has been
i1ghting to prevent Red China
from occupying the islands Oft
her own shores, whose legal
status is not in question. I'm
like Formosa and the Pesca-'
dores. they were always Chi
nese.
The resolution offered Con-
gress empowers the President
to defend related positions
and territories" which in
cludes some of these offshore
islands that the Red govern
ment is determined to take
and probably can. The argu-
ment for this is Chou En-lai's
Openly advertised occupation
of them as prelude to the
conquest of Formosa and the
Pescadores. But our position
in attempting to defend them
is legally dubious.
We may forget the "prom-
ise" of Roosevelt and Church.
Ill regarding Formosa and the
Pescadores on the ground that
no such promise could be q
commitment to turn over is
lands Of strategic importance
that we. and no Chinese. had
conquered. to an inimical
power. That is realism that
even Chou En-lai may under
stand.
Now that the line has been
drawn will Red China be sat-
isfied with the offshore islands,

Swiss Seek cut. in Size
Of U. n. Group in Korea
BY III. A..oeieted Pres.

BERN, Switzerland, Jan. 28.--
Switzerland asked the United
States and Communist China
yesterday to agree to a reduc-
ton in the neutral supervision
of the Korean armistice.
The Swiss ministers in Wash
ington and Peiping presented
notes asking the two govern
ments to approve a substantial
cut in the personnel of the four
neutral missions supervising the
arinistice if no agreement for
winding up the armistice COM
mission altogether is foreseeable
soon.
Under the Korean armistice
agreement Switzerland. Sweden.
Poland and Czechoslovakia are
responsible for the supervision
Military observers from each are
stationed in North and South
Korea.
Switzerland maintains d mis-
sion Of some 100 officers in Korea
Though food, lodging and trans
portation are provided by the
belligerents, the government
spent nearly a million dollars

Not quite so with the senior
Senator from Oregon. He has
the reputation of being unpre-

This was d challenging point
addressed to the restriction

American ships could be fred

Congress was unwilling to
vote the authority to FIRE back.
Senator Georges most tell

that 1t is imperative to notify

be unrestricted retaliation.
The effectiveness Of the res
olution is that it tells the
whole world America not only
win defend Formosa but will
not hesitate to bomb the ap-
proaches within q radius Of
several hundred miles If such
q step becomes necessary to
protect American ships and
military installations.
The same old cry-which
has been heard again and
again in instances of appease-
ment or in episodes in which
there has been a fateful hesi-
tation--has been re pea tie d
this week in the Senate. 1t is
that the passage Of the reso-
luton might bring on war.
Risks are always present in
the evolution Of international
policy, but an unwillingness to
make a clear statement Of
what counterforce will be
brought to bear against an
attacking force can only lead,
as it has many times before,
to an outbreak Of a major war.
The London Daily Mail in an
editorial says that such a clear
warning as Mr.. Eisenhower
can give by means Of the joint
resolution might-if issued be-
fore 1914 and l939-have pre-
vented two world wars.

The Nation will support the
Presidents request for au-
thority to defend Formosa and
the PescadoreS, and the intro
duction of partisan politics
into the issue must be avoided.
Partisan politics have al
ready played a near-disastroris
role in the making of foreign
policy. The very dangerous
situation we now face is largely
the result of irresponsible
oratory and political cam
paigning.
The President, harried by
that wing Of his party that has
always wanted to be tough In
Asia. began his administration
by unleashing Chang Kali
shek when the American in
terest was to begin hquidating
American responsibilities in
the area via the only channel
open: The United Nations.
For what is the status of
the territories we are now
pledged to defend. II necessary

mainland?
They are not American. nor
have we ever established q
formal protectorate over them.
Neither are they owned by the
Chinese Republic of Chang
Kai-shek, to whom they have
never been ceded. Neither are
they under sovereignty of their
own. And neither are they
under the trusteeship of the
United Nations,
Formosa and the Pesca-
dores were conquered from
Japan by America and Great
Britain. In 1943, President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
