THE FOREIGN SCENE
The Margin Of Victory Nanows

Just a month ago the General
Assembly of the United Nations
gathered in emergency session as
the clouds of war gathered over
the Middle East. Out of the de-
alterations came an Arab-spon-
sored resolution that Gained, for
the time being, the troubled and
tense situation in Lebanon and
Jordan. Although the U. N. action
settled no basic problems, it did
serve to cut the suffering fuse
leading to the powder key, 1t
sent Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold to the Arab capitals on
a brisk peace tour, and it laid the
groundwork for calm discussion
of the issues involved.
Last Tuesday the General AS
sembly was gathered again, this
time in its 18th regular annual
session. And again the presidents
gavel banged while new war clouds
lowered on1inously over the world,
this time in the Far East where
guns we're booming across the
Formosa Strait.
The delegates to the U. N. are
for the most part professional
diplomats, unwilling to display
either optimism or pessimism
without reason. But there was an
unmistakable air of optimism in
the huge buildings beside New
York's East River that, some way
would be found to head off war
in Asia before the Assembly session
was much older. Where talk was
possible, it seemed, fighting was
less likely. But the issues ahead
for this U. N. session were difficult
ones, involving major policies of
both East and West as we'll as
those of immediate import.

naturalization OF the offShore
islands. ,
1t could even mean a total
evacuation. Nothing American
diplomats have said. publicly or
privately, would necessarily be in
consistent with such a measure.
In return for such concessions,
the United States wants from Red
China three things:
A cease-f1re.
A permanent end to the at
tempted blockade of the islands.
A remuneration of force as a
means to the acquisition of For
mosa and the Pescadoress
An Exchange Proposed
Since a remuneration Of force by
Red China would mean, in effect,
agreement to indefinite Nationalist
Chinese tenure on Forrnosa, what
the United States actually is pro-
posing is an exchange in which
Chang would stop harassing the
mainland and Mao Tse-tung
would stop harassing ForInosa.
There is no likelihood whatever
of Red China accepting any such
deal. Peiping obviously believes
it can have the islands for the
taking-and thus is not in a mood
to pay a stiff price for them at
the bargaining table.
The United States. therefore,
faces a choice of two alternatives,
Either the islands must be held
by force, at whatever risk, until
Reiping is willing to purchase
them at the stated price; or else
the terms of the proposed bar
gain must be modified in Peiping's
favor
$50 far. Washington has chosen
to hold the islands by force. 1t
is the wisdom of this choice which
Is. widely challenged here.
Privately, many Western diplo-
mats are arguing that at the very
least. Washington should be pre-
pared to insist that Chang cede
the offshore islands to Peiping in
toto,i not merely neutralize them,
If in return Peiping would agree
to leave FormoSa in Nationalist
hands.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-21
More Trouble Foreseen

Introducing the FormoSa crisis
into the U. N. however, would
mean opening up a Pandora's box
of diplomatic trouble for the
United States. "A large U. N. ma
jority considers the off-shore
islands rightly part Of mainland
China; so a U. N. call for cease
fire might well be accompanied by
a declaration to this effect If
it were, the net effect might be to
strengthen Peiping's bargaining
position. not Washington's.
A more likely role for the United
Nations in the Formosa crisis
would be to strengthen the United
States, not vis-a-viS Peiping, but
vis-a-vis Taipeh.
If the time were to come that
Red China were willing to agree
to an exchange of the off-shore
islands for Formosa, and Nation
alist China were to balk, the
United States might well seek the
u. MS help simply by letting word
leak out
Letting the U. N. twist Nation
alist China's arm might we'll seem
to Washington neater way to
force through the deal than to do
the arm-twisting itself. Friends
of Chang in the United States
then would direct their fury at
the U. N. rather than at the
Eisenhower administration.
All this is necessarily in the
future. and to some extent hypo-
thetical. But U. N. diplomats, like
chess players. habitually plan
their moves well in advance.

ton. but the victory was mar
rover than ever before and the
debate reflected the growing dis
quietude of many of the smaller
nations of the world with Amer
lean policy toward China.

gin by offering to cede the islands
to Red China.
What is argued is that Wash
ington should be willing to end
there - regardless of opposition
from the generalissimo.
Some favor further diplomatic
concessions. such as recognition
and a U. N. seat, if what they re-
gard as the essential goal--an in
dependent Formosa--could be at
tanned thereby.
Peiptng's guns are blasting away
at American bargaining power BY
attempting to display capacity
to interdict and starve out the
islands. Should this effort sue
coed. there of course would be no
question Of Peiping's having to
make a deal for the islands. s
Blockade Con Be Broken
The United States, replying in
the same language of military di-
plomacy, is attempting to prove
that the blockade can be broken,
that the islands can be held in
definitely, and that Peiping there
fore must come into the diplomatic
counting house and put down her
money if she wants them.
AS a response to American
blockade busting. Peiping has
threatened to seize the islands by
invasion. Countering this threat,
in turn, the United States has all
but said such an invasion would
mean war.
Other moves in the military
diplomatic picture can be fitted
into this overall pattern. Rus
sia'S war warnings are efforts to
brighten the United States out of
a direct clash with Red China,
either in the form of resistance to
an amphibious invasion or in the
form Of air raids to knock out
Red Chinese artillery.
Secretary of State Dulles call
for a cease-fire last week was an
effort to bring moral pressure on
Peiping to abandon the blockade
and let the United States use the
off-shore islands as bargaining
currency.
Eventually, at the right time,
the United States might be able to
strengthen its hand at Warsaw by
seeking from the U. N. a 'declara-
ton in favor of a cease-fire and
a remuneration of force. Such
ideas sound beyond reproach; few
would care to vote against them;
and their effect. if agreed upon
by Peiping, would be to force Mao
Tze-tung to bargain on the United
States terms.

mumbling messes of a couple Of
generals.
The play in which Stockdale
accomplisheS this hilariou
triumph is no more really than
an animated comic strip. BY
ses:ng that it is both animated
and comic, including q bril-
liantly absurd production that
includes a flying airplane, Nor
ton Da Costa again proves he
is one of the theater's brightest
young directors.
= Mr.. Da Costa's speciality is
staging novels, the other one
being "Auntie Name" It is q
field in which he is without
a serious competitor.
mo Time for SergeantS" is
played in two halves. like q
football game, only faster.
It's first period deals with
what happens to the Army Air
Forces when a draft board yea
lot goes deep into. the Georgia
woods to round up Pvt. Stock
dale. The second, which has
wilder moments but less Of suS-
tanned hilarity. reveals what
happens to a bomber manned
by misflts who were moved
along simply because desperate
superiors had to get rid Of
them.
! MIR. Holden's Pvt. Stockdale
is a tower Of strength to COM
edy writers, as he always has
been. He is a healthy young
male without q trace of guile.
He thinks highly of sergeants.
likes to make latrines shine like
hospital operating rooms, and
looks upon classification tests
as an adventure. He is child
ishly curious, friendly. and
endlessly conversational. He
respects everybody and every
thing. including the cigarette
girl in a servicemen's honky-
tonk.
| In addition to all these inno-
cent charms, he comes equipped
with a drawl that makes every
thing he says funnier than II
has any right to be-.
With Q character this fresh,
the rest Of a stage can be filled
with stereotypeS who are hardly
recognizable for what they ac-
tually are. There is the SER
geant of the comedy's title, for
one Of these. Happily. he is
played by Myron Mccormick
who may we'll be the funniest
actor who ever wore a service
uniform.
OF the others, the most in
spired are the members of the
bomber crew with which Stock
dale flies as a tail gunner. These
are kids dying for sleep and
more likely to die for having
failed to learn how to fly q
powerful airplane.
These are nicely caricatured
by Len Bullock. Bob Hogan
and Ken Raymond. So are the
