mitment and no purpose to de-
fend the coastal positions as
such. The basic purpose is to
assure that Formosa and the
Pescadores will not be forcibly
taken over by the Chinese Com
munists. However, Foreign
Minister Chou says they will use
all their force to take Formosa
and they treat the coastal islands
as means to that end. When the
Nationalists voluntarily evacu-
ated the Tachen Islands, the
Chinese Communists comment
was: 1.-THE liberation of these
islands has created favorable
conditions for our peoples liberia
ton army in the liberation Of
Formosa."
Thus the Chinese Communists
have linked the coastal positions
to the defense of Formesa. That
is the fact which, as President
Eisenhower said in his message
to Congress about Formosa,
"compels us to take into account
closely related localities" Ac-
cordingly. we shall be alert to
subsequent Chinese Communist
actions, rejecting for ourselves
any initiative of warlike deeds.

possible Chinese Communist at
tack. Now, that determination
has been converted into our
mutual defense treaty with the
Republic of China.
Treaty Explained.
It is important to note that
the treaty, except as it relates
to United States territories, COW
ers only the islands of Formosa
and the Pescadores, and an
armed attack directed against
those islands. The congressional
authority is to secure and pro-
tect Formosa and the Pesca-
dores against armed attack. and
to make secure and to protect
related positions and terrific
ries" as the President judges
this would be required or ap-
propriate in assuring the defense
Of Formosa and the Pescadores. !"
The President did not use our
armed forces to help the Chi
nese Nationalist to hold the
Tachen Islands and Yushan and
Pishan, lying some 200 miles
north of Formosa. These islands
were virtually unrelated to the
defense of Formosa and the Pes
cadores. We helped the Chinese
Nationalists to eyacuate these
islands and regroup their forces,
so as to avoid a bloody and
wasteful battle which would
have infiamed public emotions.
Thus, Nationalist China and the
United States have made an
important contribution to the
cause Of peace.
It has been suggested that
Nationalist China should go fur
ther and surrender to the Chi
nese Communists the coastal
positions which the Communists
need to stage their announced
attack on Formosa.
It is doubtful that this would
serve either the cause Of peace
or the cause Of freedom.
The Chinese Communists have
been the initiators of violence in
this area. They have already
formally declared their intention
to take Formosa by force. If the
Chinese Nationalists now oblige
by making it easier for the Chi
nese Communists to conquer For
mosa. will they be less apt to do
So? / doubt it.

Outlines U. S. Policy
Regarding Far East

Let me turn now to deal with
some of the substantive problems
which arise out of the two Far
Eastern treaties to which I have
referred-the China treaty and
the Manila pact.
The United States is firmly
committed to the defense of
Formosa3 and the Pescadores.
These islands became part of
the japanese Empire In 1895,
They continued as such for halt
a century. until they were re-
linquished by Japan as a result
of her defeat in war-a defeat
principally wrought by the ef-
forts and sacrifices OF the United
States.
These islands form an i'm
portant part of the Western
Pacific defense system which ]
have described. The people of
the islands eagerly seek our help.
Thus Formosa and the Pesca-
dores have been properly a mat
ter of concern to the United
States.
In 1854 our long time ally, the
Republic of China, was entrusted
with authority over these islands.
In 1850. when the aggression
against Korea occurred. Presi-
dent Truman ordered our Pacific
fleet to defend Formosa against

KANSAS CITY, Feb. IT,
Dean Acheson, former Secretary
of State, says the foreign policies
of the Truman and Eisenhower
administrations are basically the
same, but are not being pursued
"as vigorously or effectively as
formerly DONE"
Mr.. Acheson spoke at a press
conference yesterday attended
by former President Truman.
Mr.. Acheson and his wife are
here for a reunion with the for
mer President at his Independ-
ence (Mo0 home.
Asked precisely what was the
foreign policy Of the Truman
administration, Mr.. Acheson re-
piled:
What we advocated was just
what we did. In the war in
Korea, we were trying to meet
and throw back the force which
had been used"
Europe Seen Focal Point.
In reply to questions as to how
far the United States should go
in defense of Formosa, Mr.. Ache
son quipped: W.
II used to be paid for answer
ing such questions, but now since

vice, don't believe I'll answer" !"
However, the former Secretary
expressed belief that Europe

Home Rule

said the bill would not provide
home rule. He said it offers no
promise of improvement over
the present commission form
and falls short of granting full
citizenship rights to citizens. in
that it does not provide for vote
in presidential elections and for
voting representation in Con-
greSs.
Polls Consistently Against.
Since 1948. he said, the Board
of Trade has taken four polls
of its membership on various
home rule bills and the members
have voted against local suffrage
each time.
F. Elwood Davis, chairman Of
the Trade Board Committee on
National Representation and
District Form of Government,
urged that the bill be amended
in various respects. including
one to carry out the traditional
Board of Trade stand, that the
home rule bill take effect only
If and when Congress has
adopted, and three-fourths Of
the States have ratified, an
amendment to the Constitution
giving Congress power to grant
District residents a vote in presi-
Dental elections and voting rep
resentation in Congress.
Mr.. Davis, detailing some
trade body objections to the bill,
struck at the omission of any
pledge in the proposed city
charter to carry on with an
adequate Federal payment to-
wards the National Capital.
He warned that even watered-
down "dual voting" provisions
in the bill would permit a large
number of persons living here,
but voting in Congressional and
Presidential contests in their
home States. to vote here on Dis
trict bond issues.
Testimony at earlier hearings,
he recalled, indicated that some
100000 District residents still
retained State voting rights.
Powell Speaks for Bill.
Representative Powell. Demo-
crat, of New York, himself the
sponsor Of one or more home rule
bills and resolutions for National
representation, spoke for the

the Chinese Communists win
renounce their ambitions. How
ever, might they not renounce
their efforts to realize their goals
by force?
Such renunciation Of force is
one Of the basic principles Of the
United Nations. and the United
States had hoped, and still hopes.
that the United Nations may be
able to effect q cessation Of the
present hostilities. President
Eisenhower, in his message to
Congress dealing with this mat
ter, made clear that the United
States would welcome action by
the United Nations which might
bring an end to the active hos
tilities In the area. The govern
ment of New Zealand has
brought this situation before the
Security Council. and the United
States. in the interest Of peace.
went to the length Of voting to
invite the Chinese Communists
to come to the Security Council
to discuss the matter.
Invitation Rejected.
In 1850, the Chinese Commu-
nists had accepted a Security
Council invitation in relation to
Korea. However. this time the
Chinese Communists contemp-
tuously rejected the invitation.
We sincerely hope that this de-
cision of the Chinese Commu-
nists is not irrevocable and that
they win abide by the principles
of the United Nations rather
than challenge by force the de-
fensive obligations Of this coun-
try. In any event. we believe
that their attitude toward the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil has not ended the response
bility Of that body which, by the
Charter, has the primary re-
sponsibility for the maintenance
of international peace and Sc
curity."
It should not, moreover, be
carelessly assumed that peace
and security will be promoted
merely by the non Communist
nations indefinitely granting
one-sided concessions to the
Communist nations.
A great danger in Asia is the
fear of many nom Communist
peoples that the United States
has no real intention of standing
firmly behind them, Already that
fear has mounted to the danger
point. We accepted in Korea an
armistice which the Chinese
Communists boisterously mis-
represent as a victory" for
them. We acquiesced in an Indo-
China armistice which reflected
the defeat of the French Union
forces at Dien Bien Phu. We
aided the Tachen evacuation.
The reasons were compelling,
nevertheless the result added a
few square miles to the Commu-
mist domain.
II the nom Communist Asians
ever come to tell that their West
ern allies are disposed to retreat
whenever communism threatens
the peace, then the entire area

OF Secretary OF State Dulles
address before the Foreign
Policy association In Netu York
last night.
= &&A
While the capacity of the rep-
resentative form of government
has been recently demonstrated
in the United States. there has
been occurring in Moscow an
extraordinary demonstration Of
/, despotic disarray. The Prime
Minister of the Soviet state was
peremptorily summoned to q
high Soviet session in the Krem-
lin and subjected to the public
humiliation of hearing another
read his resignation and his con-
fession Of my guilt"
With that Communist verdict
we need not quarrel. But the full
significance Of what has occurred
is still obscure and perhaps the
last act of the drama has not yet
been played.
Undoubtedly. we see an ele-
mental, personal struggle for
power. But also one can per-
ceive the outlines Of a basic pol-
icy difference. There must be
those who are primarily con-
cerned with the welfare, secu-
rity and greatness Of the Soviet
Union and its people. There are
others who would have the So
Wet Union and its power serve
primarily as q tool Of interna-
tional communism and as a
means OF achieving its world
wide ambitions. These two ends,
the one symbolized by the state.
the other by the party, do not
always coincide.
To us, the party and the state
in Russia usually seem indis-
tinguishable. because many in
dividuals serve in dual capacities.
But Lenin and Stain constantly
emphasized the distinction be-
tween the two. 1.-THE party" said
Stain. 'is not and cannot be
identified with the state power"
We should keep that distinc-
tion in mind. The time may
come-I believe it will come
when Russians of stature will
patriotically put first their ma
tional security and the welfare
of their people. They will be un-
willing to have that security and
that welfare subordinated to the
worldwide ambitions of interna-
tional communism. II their point
Of view should prevail, then in
deed there could be a basis for
worthwhile negotiation and
practical agreements between the
United States and the new Rus
sia. Then there might be reacti-
vated the historic friendship be-
tween our countries and our
peoples.

Appeals Couh0rders
Transit Union Ruling
By NLRB Sef Aside

A National Labor Relations
Board order requiring Capital
Transit Co. to bargain collec-
lively with certain employees was
set aside by the United States
Court of Appeals today.
The court sent the issue back
to the NLRB for additional
findings on the supervisory"
status of inspectors.
Involved are about $50 en-
ployes who were certified as
members of the Amalgamated
Association of Street, Electric
and Motorcoach Employees of
America (AFL) after an election
In 1852.
Election Challenged.
The company challenged the
election on grounds that some
of those certified were inspec-
tors, and defined by the company
as supervisory employees who
could not properly be represented
by the union.
The NLRB found that such
employees were not supervisors
within the meaning of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act.
In an earlier election, the
Supervisory" group had reject
ed the union as their bargaining
agent.
But the NLRB set this election
aside and authorized a new vote
on the grounds that a letter
written by the company presi-
dent to employees involved in
terfered with a free vote.
Letter Quoted.
The letter, in part, posed the
question: HAS it occurred to you
that the union may want To
represent you so that you will
not be able to exercise supervi-
sorry authority and response
bility? +"
Today the Appellate Court
held that the NLRB was right
in invalidating the earlier elec-
ton. The union won the second
vote, which today's order sets
aside for further proceedings
with respect to the Supervisors. ~
Questions revolving about the
actual authority vested In the
inspectors were sent back to the
board by the court for additional
findings.
The appellate court said:
'"The board failed to determine
(. !. the extent, If any, to which
rule-book authority was actually
exercised. Nor did it determine
as a matter Of its own policy, the
difference, If any, between the
effect Of actual and merely po-
tential authority. -. :"

and union said the action had
