Conservation Program.
According to a report entitled
Summary of Accomplishments
and Use of Funds Under the
1859 ACP" which has recently
been prepared by the Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conser-
walton county office, All Holmes
County farmers received $131,-
489 in Federal coSt-sharing on
conservation practices that were
carried out in 1859. The amount
of Cost sharing represented ap-
proximately so percent of the
cost of performing the practices
with the remainder of the cost
being paid by the farmers with
their own funds. labor, mater
ials, and equipment.
The report gives a most en-
couraging picture of the pro-
gress being made in soil and
water conservation. Accom-

Dulles said, in a February 16
speech, that the United States
has no commitment and no
purpose to defend those islands
(Quemoy and MatSu) as such"
House Foreign Affairs Chair
man Richards, Democrat of
South Carolina, said this caused
confusion because it seemed to
conflict with earlier committee
testimony of Mr.. Dulles indi-
eating that Quemoy and MatSu
would be defended if necessary.
Senator George, however,
said he interpreted the Dulles
speech has meaning this coun-
try would defend those islands
If they were invaded as a pre-
lude to invasion of FormoSa
and the PescadoreS.
Then in late February, 1855,
the United States helped Chi
nese NationaliSts withdraw W
from the Tachen Islands, north
of FormoSa. That was mem
toned by Senator Kennedy in

dence Quemoy and Matsu could
properly be considered in the
same category.

a dangerous chain reaction
especially In the Far East.
Senator George warned in
Senate debate that turning
over those small islands to the
Chinese Reds would lead to
"disintegration that would be
swift, quick, speedy and final"
He said it would "cut the heart
out of" Nationalist Chinese
forces.
About two weeks after pass
age of the resolution the Sen
ate ratified. 65-6, the mutual
defense treaty between the
United States and Nationalist
China. That treaty had been
signed in the fall of 1854 and
submitted by President Eisen-
hover in January. 1855, for
ratification.
The roll call record for rati-
fication showed that Senator
johnson was paired for ratifi-
cation and that Senator Ken
Inedy was absent and did not
take a stand.
The treaty pledged that an
attack on Formosa would be
c onsidered dangerous" to
American peace and safety. It
pledged the two nations to
meet any armed attack in the
West Pacific area directed
against the territories Of
either the United States or Ma
tionalist China. And it added
that this would apply to "such
other territories as may be de-
termined by mutual agree
ment."
A move by Senator Morse to
strike out the latter provision
was defeated by so to 10. Sen
ator johnson was paired
against the Morse move. Sena-
tor Kennedy was listed as alb
sent and did not take a stand.
Within a few weeks after
passage Of the resolution there
was intensified controversy and
added confusion as to exactly
how far the congressional au-
thorization meant to go.

To '55 Dispute in Congress

on Formosa and the Pesca-
dores.
The key section of the reso-
luton declared:
'"The President be and here
by is authorized to employ the
armed forces Of the United
States as he deems necessary
for the purpose Of securing
and protecting Formosa and
the Pescadores against armed
attack.
This authority ds) to in
clude the security and protec-
ton Of such related positions
and territories Of that area
now in friendly hands and the
taking of such other measures
as he judges to be required or
appropriate in assuring the de-
tense Of 'Formosa and the Pes
cadores."
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee report recon-
mended against spelling out
any definite geographic limit to
the Presidents authority, "be-
cause such action might handi-
cap our country by depriving
it Of f1exibility . to meet un-
foreseen situations that might
arise"
Language Intentionally Vague
Representative Vorys, then
a Republican member from
Ohio and second ranking mi
nority member of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, told the
House the resolution inten-
tionally avoided drawing a
definite defense line because
such a pronouncement would
telegraph our punches"
But Representative Holifield,
Democrat of California, pro-
tested that the resolution as
written would give a blank
check" to the President.
In the Senate debate, SEN
ator Humphrey declared there
was mot one iota of evidence
to show that Quemoy and Mat
su are essential for the de-
tense Of Formosa." Former
Senator Knowland of Cali
fornia. then Republican leader
in the Senate. warned in the
Foreign Relations Committee
that adoption of the Humphrey
amendment would "set up a
green light on Quemoy and
Matsu telling the Communists
to just come and get them"
President Eisenhower him

Gated what the administration
might do about Quemoy and

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

Kennedy was recorded for and
which rejected his position Of
excluding Quenoy and Matsu
from the area in the Formosa
Straits to be defended by the
United States.
In his message to Congress
requesting the resolution, Mr..
Eisenhower said Congress
would improve the prospect Of
peace by resolving that United
States armed forces could be
used 'if necessary to assure the
security Of FormoSa and the
Pescadores."
There was some question
whether Congressional authori-
zation was necessary, but Mr..
Eisenhower sought an express
resolution to that effect. His
only mention Of Quemoy and
Matsu in his request was a re-
port that in September, 1854,
the Chinese Reds had opened
heavy artillery fire on those
Islands. But he stated:
Il do not suggest that the
United States enlarge its de-
fensive obligation beyond For
moSa and the Pescadores. But
unhappily the danger Of armed
attack against that area COM
pels us to take into account
closely related localities and
actions which under current
conditions might determine the
success or failure on such an
attack.
THE authority that may be
accorded by Congress would
be used only in situations which
are recognizable as parts of or
defined preliminaires to an at
tack against the main positions
of Formosa and the Pesca-
dores."
Defense Area Underlined
Subsequent Congressional de-
bates aroused controversy over
the fact that the Presidents
request and the eventual resolu-
ton contained no specific
United States would fight to
defend.
The resolution was inter-
preted In many quarters as at
least leaving the way open to
defense Of lesser islands such
as Quemoy and MatSu. It also
was regarded as being flexible
enough to permit attacks
against the Red Chinese main
land, If the President deemed
this essential to ward of

WHY SUCH A SYSTEM?

Senator John r. Kennedy has been
legally elected and will be the next
president of the United States. In
every respect ne deserved that victory
and while ali his platform and stated
intentions are not agreeable 10 some
55,OOO,OOO Americans, hey are,
nevertheless, acceptable to few more
than that number. He has Il mandate
from the people and thus gained the
White House with Il popular vote
ma ority, be it ever 50 small, and an
Electoral College majority also.
The democratic form of government
has prevailed. But in this past election,
we again see the anticipated. obsolete
and undemocratic principle of the
Electoral College that came within
an eye lash OF robbing the majority
of the people of the candidate OF their
choice.
This Electoral vote system is writ
ten into the American Constitution,
would have to be approved by the
people to change that unhealthy SyS-
tenn. But We believe that it should
be changed, and that the overwhelm-
ing MARTY of Americans of both
parties would like to see the President
elected by popular vote, the only real
democratic way of voting.
Had either candidate polled
maj ority vote in this national election
and then not been allowed to take
his position as head of our govern
ment, ii would have been one of the
greatest propaganda opportunities for
the Communists in history. They could
have, and probably would have. pro-
claimed to the world that Americans
only claim to be democratic and that
they really Use Il system of dictatorial
power, placing the man in office that
was contrary to the wishes of the
people.
There have been Presidents in the
past in this country elected to that
highest office in the land who did not
get the majority of the peoples vote.
1t was close to that same shameful
situation again.
Why was such a ruling ever written
INTO our constitution? The answer is
vague. but the best explanation in
many fold. First. it was believed that
their direct vote for the President WAS
at the time of the formation of this
government, the people were not ac-
cuStomed to self rule and to allow
little too revolutionary.
Second. in that day of poor COM
muncationS and slow travel. il was
believed that the common neonla
