Congress certainly has

times between l948 and 1850
our highest military authori-
ties concluded that this prop
osition was not true and did

And what did Mr.. Acheson
do at the time? He told the
world about our military
strategy in a speech at the
National Press Club in jan

found it necessary in June,

The consensus of certain

make 1t their business to an
alyze Premier Krushchev's ac-
tons is that the Soviet Union
would go far to help the Chi
nese Communists with weap-
ons, supplies, atomic heads,

the conclusion Of those who
have taken the trouble to read

the shrewd Communist Pre-

read his ally's utterances in
the same manner. Hence his

Dlsunity and defeatism--
the curse Of the democracies
OF our time-could bring on a
third world war.
At the very time when the
President Of the United States
is acting in accordance with
the letter and the spirit Of a
resolution-adopted in jan
uary. 1855. by the overwhelm-
ing vote Of both parties in
Congress - that authorized
the use Of American armed
forces to defend Formosa,
the wisdom Of that decision
was openly questioned by the
foremost spokesman Of the
Democratic Party on foreign
policy-Dean Acheson. The
former Secretary Of State is
sued a scathing attack on his
own Governments policy. His
detection from the American
position was widely broadcast
last Saturday. 1t was a de-
tailed argument in favor Of
the Chinese Communist side
of the controversy by the same
man who withheld American
support from the Nationalist
government at q critical pc
Rod when Chang Kai-shek
was fighting for the survival
of the free government on the
mainland Of China.
Just "a hours after the
Acheson statement was pub
licized. Premier Khrushchev
boldly demanded the with
drawal Of the Americn armed
forces from the Far East and
warned that an attack on
Communist China" would be
considered "an attack ON the
Soviet Union"
President Eisenhower lost
no time in reminding the
Soviet Premier that he should
concern himself with the ag-
gressive operations Of the Red
China regime and restrain his
ally, instead Of worrying
about the defensive tactics Of
the United States in the Far
East. For there hasn't been

ton on the part of United
States forces to attack"

tary Dulles said in his state
