that the all-powerful Security
Council did not have the
slightest intention to sub
poena" the Chinese Com,nu-
nists.
Actually the q. N. does not
have subpoena powers in our
legal sense. But it can exam
Inc a threatening international
situation and order steps to
stop fighting even if one Of
the parties refuses to appear.
If its orders for a cease-fire
or an arbitration are disobeyed
by either party, the U. N. can
apply pressure. It can urge its
members to break diplomatic
relations or suspend all eco
nonic relations. And II these
are not sufiicient to bring the
aggressor to reason it can order
a blockade or even military
action.
The overwhelming majority
of the U. N. membership Is
afraid Of firm and positive
action. Other than the United
States. Philippines, Pakistan
and Turkey, the others would
be glad to hand over all ter
ritories held by the Chinese
Nationalists to the Commu-
nists to avoid any further
disturbances.
Our allies in Western Eu-
rope have no particular
interest in the strategic inn
portance of the West Pacific.
They are much more eager
for trade with Communist
China. It would, however, be
unbecoming for them to come
out openly in favor of u SELL
out to which the American
Government and especially
American public opinion are
SO definitely opposed. Hence
the need for Western diplo-
mats to gain time. And time
can be gained not at the U. N.
in New York, where "open
diplomacy" is at least par

talks, where deals and COM
promises can be made. Ten

bomb the Formosa bases used
by the Nationalist planes as
they go out to defend Quemoy
and the Matsu Islands against
attacks from the air. a war
would break out and American
forces would surely become in
volved. A considerable body of
Nationalist troops is on the
offshore islands now.
There is no mystery about
the position in which the
United States finds itself in
seeking primarily to protect
Formosa against air attack.
The Communists would never
invade Quemoy or the Matsu
Islands without using airpower,
and they would not confine
their air attacks to those is
lands either, but would have
to go after the bases on For
mosa. So. for all practical pur-
poses, the use of American air
power in retaliation or defense
is related solely to how the
Communists use their airpoWer
and whether or not they linz
it it to attacks on the offshore
islands.
The situation is full of COM
plexities and the delicate prob
lens involved should be left
to the Commander in Chief
in the White House. It is
incredible that any members
of Congress should be publicly
demanding that the President
reveal the defense plans of the
United States in the middle of
a critical situation that could
bring about fighting at any
moment. The Senate took cog
nizance of all the contingencies
and voted the President ample
power to deal with them. Some
Senators who now are asking
for more details and ''clarifica-
ton" opposed the recently
passed resolution on the ground
that the President already had
sufficient authority to do what
seemed best. Now they ques-
ton that authority.
The only explanation for
the present behavior of the
'left-wing" Senators is that
they have allowed partisanship
to sway their public statements

years ago the representatives
OF the greatest powers in the

Temporization Is a great

Formosa crisis since the mat
ter of the II American pris-
oners sentenced to jail by the

charges seems to have moved

preceded by private talks and

munists and the Kremlin.
Those who have no genuine
strategic interests In the West
Pacific hope that dire threats
from Moscow and Peiping may
soften American public opin-
ion and we may agree to sur
render of Quemoy and Matsu,
and eventually even yield For
moSa itself.
President Eisenhower, Sec
retsry Dulles. the Joint Chiefs
OF Staff and the majority of
their advisers are unwilling to
accept such a package regard
less of how prettily it may be
wrapped up. And to show our
determination to hold to our
first line Of defense in the Pa
ciflc the Nationalists were
given assurances that we
would join them in repelling
any attack on Quemoy and
Matsu.
There is no doubt that at
least our British ally has been
informed of our action which
has two purposes. First. it as
sures the Nationalists we are
not abandoning them and.
second, it automatically tells
our allies and friends that we
won't accept any deals con-
trary to our interests.

This reporter can state posi-
lively, from unimpeachab
sources, that Chang Kai-shek
has received formal assurances
the 7th Fleet and air forces
in the West Pacific will join
the Chinese Nationalist in
defense of Quemoy and Matsu
if those islands are attacked
by the Communists.
This decision was made
after Congress backed Presi-
dent Eisenhower's request to
defend Fonmosa and the Pes
cadores and all other islands
essential to their protection.
It was prompted, according to
informed sources, by the
knowledge in high quarters
that the United Nations was
ready to pass the buck on the
Formosa Strait controversy.
Insofar as the public Is con-
cerned. the decision of the
Security Council to suspend
indefinitely all efforts to stop
the fighting between the Ma
tionalists and Communists was
reached Monday. But Wash
ington had received positive
information early last week
that the Council would clear
the way at its first formal
meeting for what French Del
egate Henri Hoppenot called
traditional diplomacy" to take
over.
Traditional dipl m a cy"
means secret deals behind
closed doors: compromises,
usually at the expense Of the
victims of aggression and in
favor of the bully, and other
unsavory actions. The deals
are frequently made after the
aggressor has won his point
by force.
Apparently. between Pei-
pings rejection of the U. N.
invitation to send delegates to
New York and Mondays for
NAL session, when the buck
was passed to traditional di-
plomacy," we received suffi-
ciently strong hints to realize
